A series of matter-of-fact issues are outlined within the text of Daniel's second vision in Dan. 8:9-14, and within Gabriel's explanation of that vision in verses 23-25 of that chapter.  These plainly-stated points make any efforts to claim that Antiochus Epiphanes is the subject of this text a very tough sell.  This article is the second of two that argue my personal view that this portion of Daniel is instead referring to the antichrist.

Who is Daniel Chapter 8 Talking About Part 2

Unquestionably, the Bible remains the final say in all matters of our present and future lives. It's therefore easy to subscribe to the safe and predictable ideas concerning God's Word. But sometimes the most accurate positions are the ones that emerge when we choose to step out from behind the rigid constraints of stained glass views. That means we may need to wrestle with uncomfortable themes.  When I write an article, I use that exercise to process issues that God has laid on my heart.  I may spend many weeks on it as I carefully consider its content. I trust these articles will inspire you, provoke you, and compel you to study the Bible with a fresh perspective.  My website has more information about my ministry and other teaching materials as well. http://thewordwithsteve.com
