Daniel 11C – Son of Perdition
Daniel 11:21-25 highlights Antiochus IV Epiphanes, who is a biblical type of Antichrist. What we see in this section is how Antiochus deceived people to gain their favor, only to turn on them to destroy them later. This will be magnified by a great degree by the coming man of sin; Antichrist.
Daniel 8:26 tells Daniel to Seal Up the Vision
There is much in Daniel that we seem to understand very well today. We understand all the empires mentioned in Daniel 2, 7, and 8. Scholars are also in agreement (with few exceptions) as to the identities of the individuals mentioned in Daniel 11. While people still argue about the meaning of Daniel 9, it also seems as though the meaning of that chapter is clearly evident. So as a whole, the book of Daniel is not so mysterious (from our vantage point in 2015) as it most certainly was during Daniel’s day. Yet, even Daniel understood a good deal of what he wrote down.
