From Chapter 11:36-41 of the prophecy of Daniel (דָנִיאֶל), brother Gideon Levytam draws our attention to the shift that takes place in this prophetic message to Daniel. While Antiochus Epiphanes, the Grecian Syrian king, inflicted much sorrow on the Jews during the time of the Ptolemies and the Selucids, this willful king in verses 36-41 is the false Messiah known as the antichrist. This antichrist will rise up in the future, during the tribulation, he will exalt and magnify himself above every god, and will speak against the God of Israel. In his wickedness, the antichrist will enter into the glorious land of Israel, persecute the Jewish people, and bring the abomination which will cause the desolation.
