Dan 11:45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
. Dan. 11:45. Shows the Papacy establishing his reign in the S.D.A. general church until he comes to his end without anyone helping him. (Read Ps. 79 as a P.R.H. of Dan. 11: 45).
a. “And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace…” This is the palace—like
military tents or pavilions used by ancient eastern kings and leaders of armies
when in battle with another kingdom, it’s a temporary dwelling place, and
symbolizes that the Papal king of the north occupies the place where his tent is.Jer. 43:8-11.
b. “...between the seas in the glorious holy mountain…” “...between the seas…”
According to ancient geography this is the Dead Sea in the east of Jerusalem and
the Mediterranean Sea which is on its west.
c. “...in the glorious holy mountain…” This is Jerusalem, and symbolizes the church of God at that time — the time of the Judgment. This is the S.D.A. church. (Ps.
c. “...in the glorious holy mountain…” This is Jerusalem, and symbolizes the church of God at that time — the time of the Judgment. This is the S.D.A. church. (Ps.
87:1-3; Heb. 12:12:22; Rev. 11:2; Rev. 12:17; Rev. 14:12).
d. This is telling us that the S.D.A. Church will fall under Papal pressures and accept the Sunday Law, but a remnant of this Church will not yield. Read the following quotation.
“The banner of the third angel has inscribed upon it “The commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” Our institutions have taken a name which sets forth the character of our faith, and of this name we are never to be ashamed. I have been shown that this name means much, and in adopting it we have followed the light given us from heaven…. The Sabbath is God’s memorial of His creative work, and it is a sign that is to be kept before the world. There is to be no compromise with those who are worshiping an idol Sabbath. We are not to
spend our time in controversy with those who know the truth, and upon whom
the light of truth has been shining, when they turn away their ear from the truth
to turn to fables. I was told that men will employ every policy to make less
prominent the difference between the faith of Seventh-day Adventists and those
who observe the first day of the week. In this controversy the whole world will
be engaged, and the time is short. This is no time to haul down our colors. A
company was presented before me under the name of Seventh-day Adventists,
who were advising that the banner or sign which makes us a distinctive people
should not be held out so strikingly; for they claimed it was not the best policy in securing success to our institutions. This distinctive banner is to be borne
through the world to the close of probation. In describing the remnant people of
God, John says, “Here is the patience of the saint: here are they that keep the
commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus” (Rev. 14:12). This is the law and
the gospel. The world and the churches are uniting in harmony in transgressing
the law of God, in tearing away God’s memorial, and in exalting a Sabbath that
bears the signature of the man of sin. But the Sabbath of the Lord thy God is to
be a sign to show the difference between the obedient and the disobedient. I
saw some reaching out their hands to remove the banner, and to obscure its
significance…” Ellen G. White, Selected Messages Bk. 2, pg. 384-385.
e. “...yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.” The Papacy shall be
destroyed during and at the end of the seven last plagues and no one can save it.

18; Rev. 18:4-10,21; Rev. 19:19-21.
