Where The Antichrist Comes From, Part I

Does the Bible say where the Antichrist comes from?

I know that this question sounds strange, but the prophet Daniel speaks about the Last Days. And, he talks about a ‘man of fierce countenance’.

Do you remember what he said?

He’s in Daniel 8, and he’s also referred to as a ‘little horn’. The question is whether this is the Antichrist, or whether it is Antiochus IV Epiphanes.

This is a pretty important discussion, and you need to think about this. If ‘the Little Horn’ is NOT Antiochus Epiphanes, then this is the Antichrist. And, it really sounds like the Antichrist.

Where the Antichrist Comes From, Part I

I’m labeling this as ‘Part I’, since I really want to lay this out as more of a question before getting into this issue.

The purpose of Daniel 8 is to foretell the coming of a person who will rise out of the four kingdoms that grew out of Alexander the Great’s Empire. Joel Richardson (not Rosenberg) disagrees that that Daniel 8 refers to Alexander’s Empire, so feel free to make that argument. But, you need to understand that Joel Rosenberg didn’t make sense when he tried to argue his case.

Did I miss something?

It’s possible. But, Joel certainly didn’t argue his position very well.

Of course, we like Joel. He’s a great guy, and he’s one of the few men that hasn’t gone completely off the rails, when it comes to eschatology.

What is Joel’s position?

That none of Daniel 8 has happened yet… that it’s all in the future.

Feel free to argue that position, but please make sense if you try.

For the rest of you, you will either need to make a strong case for Antiochus IV Epiphanes, or the Antichrist. And yes, I invite all of you to make these cases.

So, let me summarize what I’m asking:

1. Joel Rosenberg Richardson is right, and nothing in Daniel 8 has happened yet. [sorry, my mistake – JL]

2. Antiochus IV Epiphanes was the Little Horn and the Man of Fierce countenance

3. This is about the Antichrist.

Please note, that if the third point is true, think about what that implies.

Okay, now off to the research for this week.

(Sorry to make such short shrift.)
