AMPLIFIED 2015 | Daniel 11:36 ¶ "Then the king (the Antichrist) will do exactly as he pleases; he will exalt himself and magnify himself above every god and will speak astounding and disgusting things against the God of gods and he will prosper until the indignation is finished, for that which is determined [by God] will be done. |
Bible Question: Assuming that this hasn't happened yet, is this king from a third kindgom or is he, indeed, the King of the North? (With v. 40 starting with the King of the South coming against him, and then this King of the North retalliates and overpowers the King of the South.) |
Bible Answer: There are types and antitypes throughout the Bible and the verses in question, Dan. 11:36 were already played out once by Antiochus in the second century B.C. (I macc. 1:16-24) This can't be found in most of the protestant Bibles but it is nevertheless a written record of history. Antiochus was a type of the Antichrist to come, i.e. the final world ruler who will probably follow the same path right up to the abomination of desolation that was spoken of by Christ, Paul and John. This path included attacking the Kings of the South then returning to the land bridge that we call Israel. He is also referred in the Book of revelation as the little horn.
