UNFOLDING THE WORD With Dr. Gary Kuhne

WEDNESDAY’S IN THE WORD: June 17, 2026, Daniel 11:21-35 “Antiochus Epiphanes”

Vs. 21-35 turn attention to a coming time of great suffering for the Jewish people under the rule of Antiochus Epiphanes. Antiochus ruled the Seleucid empire from 175 BC until 164 BC. His leadership was a ruthless an dviolent leadership and the Jews suffered greatly at his hands. After his death, and after a fried time of independence, the Jewish people came under the rule of a set of “puppet kings” called the Hasmonean Dynasty, that ruled over Jerusalem and the surrounding regions between 140 BC and 37BC on behalf of the Seleucid and Roman empires. IN 37 BC Rome then established another set of kings to reign under their control called the Herodian Dynasty. The first of these rulers was Herod the Great, who ruled over Jerusalem region at the time of Christ’s birth, thus finishing the “69 weeks” and setting the stage for the next verses that will focus on the “70th Week: and the coming rule of the Antichrist.

WEDNESDAY’S IN THE WORD: June 3, 2026, Daniel 11:2-21 “The Coming Greek Empire”

Chapters 11 opens with some details related to the period of the first “69 Weeks” of the 70 Weeks” prophecy. This era of history spans the time from the beginning of the Medo-Persian Empire to the promised ‘First Coming” of the Messiah (Christ’s birth and ministry). We are reminded again of earlier prophecies of the replacement of the Medo-Persian Empire by the Greek Empire under Alexander and the subsequent breaking of that empire into four empires. The details then focus on two of the empires, the Seleucid and Ptolemic, which are called the King of the North and the King of the South. These two kingdoms were continuously fighting over control of the region of Judea, which created much suffering for the Jews. The greatest suffering would come under the rule of Antiochus Epiphanes.
