WEDNESDAY’S IN THE WORD: July 1, 2026, Daniel 11:36-12:1 “The Anti-Christ, Part 2”

WEDNESDAY’S IN THE WORD: July 1, 2026, Daniel 11:36-12:1 “The Anti-Christ, Part 2”

In 11:36-12:3 we are focused on the 70th week and the time of the Anti-Christ who will be a dominating dictator over the whole world and ultimately be answerable to no one. He will seemingly prosper in all that he does. And he will focus his blasphemy on God and his anger on Gods people. We also discover that eventually he will turn on all leaders (political or religious) who tried to help him in order to be the sole ruler/dictator of the world. Half way through the 70th week, he will turn against the Jews and take control of the Holy Land. God reveals in Daniel that despite the Anti-Christ’s period of success, God will eventually defeat him. As this time of defeat approaches, the Jewish people themselves will repent and turn to Christ as their Messiah. After Christ returns, the Anti-Christ is defeated and judged, and the Lord begins the Millennial Kingdom. After the period of the Millenium, Satan deceives people once again and a final judgement of Satan and fallen mankind will take place.

WEDNESDAY’S IN THE WORD: June 24, 2026, Daniel 11:36-12:1 “The Anti-Christ, Part 1”

In verse 36 the attention shifts from details about the first “69 weeks” leading to the time of the 1st Coming of Christ (particularly the coming time of great suffering for the Jewish people under the rule of Antiochus Epiphanes) to a time in the future, the “70th Week” , and the seven years of terrible suffering under the Anti-Christ which will then end in the 2ndComing of Christ! Today’s study reviewed what we already knew from Daniel 2, 7, and 9 related to the 70th week and the Anti-Christ. We now see this ruler will be a dominating dictator over the whole world and ultimately be answerable to no one. He will seemingly prosper in all that he does. And he will focus his blasphemy on God and his anger on Gods people.

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.
