End Times – Book of Daniel: 11 Part 2 Antiochus Epiphanes and the Coming Antichrist
Wednesday, June 17, 2026
This sermon finishes Daniel 11’s historical section, tracing the wars between the Seleucid “king of the North” and the Ptolemaic “king of the South” until Antiochus IV Epiphanes emerges—a “vile” ruler who gains power through flattery, deceit, and bribery, repeatedly invades Egypt, is checked by Rome, then turns in rage against the Jewish people and the holy covenant. The pastor presents Antiochus as a detailed type of the future Antichrist, noting parallels such as deceptive covenants, betrayal, persecution of Israel, and a coming abomination of desolation, and uses the fulfilled precision of these 375 years of prophecy as a faith-strengthening preview of endtime events still ahead. He urges believers to resist last-days deception by being saturated in Scripture, walking as the salt of the earth and light of the world, and recognizing that the final man of sin cannot be revealed until the church’s restraining influence is removed.
