21. Antiochus and the Antichrist | Dr. David Jeremiah

In this lesson we meet a historical figure who was a type of the Antichrist. In the Old Testament many people, places and events prefigured people, places and events appearing in the New Testament. Even evil was prefigured. Antiochus Epiphanes was a Hellenistic ruler who persecuted the Jews - a type of the Antichrist to come.

Covers Daniel 8:9-14,22-27

1 Maccabees 1.16-24, 29-35, 41-53, 54-64; 2.15-28

God prophesied concerning Alexander the Great and Antiochus Epiphanes, and history validates the prophecy. These were real people. Just as those two men of history came to pass, the prophecy concerning the Antichrist will literally come to pass. The stage is being set even now. — Dr. Jeremiah
