Daniel 9:27 - Three possible reasons for future Israel to sit at the table with the antichrist and strike a deal might be described as FEAR, FORCE, and FOCUS. In previous lessons, the first two of these motives were explored. Now, the idea of FOCUS is being considered. Two motives for this FOCUS are ruled out: the gain of money and resources, and the need for power and strength. The Bible suggests these specific motives are not in play for Israel at that time.
