Daniel
Prophet, Royal Advisor 6th c. BC — 6th c. BC Israel
Rise of Antiochus Epiphanes
Fulfilled
540 BC — Babylon
A contemptible person will arise who has not been given the honor of royalty. He will invade the kingdom when its people feel secure. He will set up the abomination of desolation in the temple and abolish the daily sacrifice. Those who violate the covenant he will corrupt by flattery, but the people who know their God will firmly resist.
