sovereignty of all nations] shall be taken away [laid aside] [in order to] set up [establish] the abomination that maketh desolate, [the future Papal Supremacy No. 2, when all the world shall "wonder after the beast" Rev. 13:3], there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days." Dan. 12:11 [until "…he shall come to his end and none shall help him." Dan. 11:45]

XIV. Daniel 12:11 Rapidly Approaches Fulfillment.

Today, the United States of America has already laid aside its sovereignty by closing military bases and placing the military under the United Nations forces. (Review p. 14.) Other nations are following. Today, Dan. 12:11 is nearing its complete fulfillment when, on some future occasion, the Pope will be enthroned as Head of the New World Order or Government. At that time the "Holy Father" will rule from the "Holy City," and he will be given the title, "Prince of peace" to sit and rule in "The City of Peace"—Old Jerusalem." Dan. 11:45.

XV. Where Will Daniel 12:11 Be Fulfilled?

"And he [The Papacy] 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.

What are "his tabernacles"? Where is "the glorious holy mountain"? Between what "seas" will he establish his reign? Is the meaning symbolic, or literal, and, or spiritual?

The word, "tabernacles," refers to a place of worship, and is therefore "spiritual," but the Pope has already declared that old Jerusalem shall be the place of worship for all nations. It must be remembered that the entire book of Daniel is the story of the rise and fall of empires, and refers to their literal capitols, such as: Jerusalem in chapter 1, Shushan, the palace, in Medo-Persia in Dan. 8:2, and Daniel 11 is a continuation of the same political emphasis and focus of the book.

What and where is the "glorious holy mountain"? While it is true that the reign of the future seventh empire, Papal Supremacy No. 2, will absorb and affect all religions, and rule all churches, including all their institutions and structures, it will not rule the final "remnant which keep the commandments
