Question of the Day: Who is the “antichrist”?

Daniel 12

Episode 158: We’ve arrived at the end of Daniel and once more encounter the 2,300 days. This time, though, we also have 1,290 days and 1,335 days. What’s all this about? Tune in as I break down a proper understanding of all of these days in Daniel.

2,300 days

March 1, 169 BC – persecution begins by Antiochus IV Epiphanes (see 1 Macc. 1.20-28

June 18, 163 BC – Antiochus dies (see 1 Macc 6.16)

1,290 days

April 19, 167 BC – Daily sacrifice at the temple ends (see 1 Macc 1.29-53)

October 30, 164 BC – Abomination removed (see 1 Macc 4.36-51)

1,335 days (1,290 + 45 days to cleanse the temple)

April 19, 167 BC – Daily sacrifice ends (see 1 Macc 1.29-53)

December 14, 164 BC – Sacrificed renewed (see 1 Macc 4.52)

Daniel 11

Episode 157: Daniel 11 is a hotbed for all kinds of faulty notions, especially pertaining to Antichrist. However, as I show in this episode, the vision is for Daniel’s people in the 2nd century BC when a brutal dictator named Antiochus IV Epiphanes rises to power. Tune in as I break this down.

Question of the Day: Why are there so many interpretations of the Bible?

Daniel 10

Episode 156: Daniel 10 is somewhat of a respite from the prophetic visions. It records that has another vision, but the details of the vision are yet forthcoming in chapter 11. In the meantime, Daniel’s reaction to the vision as well as God’s response to Daniel’s reaction are on display. Tune in a I walk us through the prologue, as it were, for chapters 11 & 12.

Question of the Day: Can we all understand the Bible alike?
