Daniel 7:25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most Holy, and shall intend to change the times and the law, then the saint shall be given into his hand for a time, and times and a half time.
The time, times, and half time is after the Antichrist goes through the first three stages of his career and is into that final stage as the Antichrist-beast.
That he starts out as the little horn; then as the Prince who shall come, then as the revealed man of sin, son of perdition; then as the Antichrist-beast, it is all the same person
In Revelation 12:14, the time, times, and half times in that passage is that same period that he will persecute the Jews. Satan will have been cast down and will empower him. Satan will not be possessing the Antichrist during that period though. Satan only enters the Antichrist for a brief period in his man of sin, son of perdition stage.
Do you think this isn't being done now?
No, because the ten king (leader) kingdom, the ruling body of the EU has not formed yet.
Daniel 8:9 The little horn refers came out of Greece and refers to Antiochus Epiphanies, who came to the throne in 175 B.C. and plundered the Temple in Jerusalem, desecrating it by offering swine's flesh on the alter of God.
Not hardly. Daniel 8:17 indicates the transgression that makes the temple desolate is end times.
17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.
Daniel 8:23 indicates that the little horn, king of fierce countenance will stand up out of the kingdom of the transgressors. Who the transgressors are - are the ten kings who align themselves with the Antichrist-beast (Revelation 17:12, 17:17)
Daniel 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
In the latter time of the transgressors kingdom - which is the final form of the EU, the king of fierce countenance will stand up from.
Daniel 7 is about where he will first emerge from.
Daniel 8:23 is about after he has emerged and has removed and replaced three of those kings - and is about to go to war (
he stands up, which is what animals do on their hind legs as they are about to fight)_, heading south and east to Israel in great strength (Daniel 8:9).
He will be coming to Israel to stop the Gog/Magog attack. He will arrive late, as God supernaturally destroys Gog's armies before they reach Jerusalem. But that he comes with the intent to rescue Israel, to fight in defending them, the Jews will perceive that he is the long awaited King Messiah.
As the Prince who shall come in Daniel 9, following Gog/Magog, from the temple mount he will oversee the reading of Moses's instructions to go in and possess the land, a law that Moses made to every generation to commemoratively read every 7 years.
In the text of Deuteronomy 31:10-11. Thus confirming the Mt. Sinai covenant for the 7 year period in Daniel 9:27.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Antiochus fulfilled everything in Chapter 8
Antiochus fulfilled nothing in Chapter 8. The king of fierce coutenance in Daniel 8 cannot be broken by human means. Antiochus was forced to turn back when he went down to Egypt with the intent to remove the king, when a Roman general drew a line in the sand, circling Antiochus forcing him to make a decision - proceed and go to war with Rome, or retreat back from where you come from. Antiochus backed down.
The king of fierce countenace in Daniel 8 takes on the Prince of princes - Jesus. It is talking about the end times Antichrist.
People again speak pompous words against the most high and they persecute the saints of the most high, and they not only intend to change the times and the seasons, they have done it.
Go to Daniel 11. Antochus is in that chapter, but is dead by the time it gets to Daniel 11:36. That verse is ends times, and the king is the end times Antichrist in the final stage of his career as the Antichrist-beast. The pompous words against God are in both Revelation 13 and Daniel 11:36. It's the same guy. The Antichrist-beast.
Daniel 11:
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. (he'll be a Jew)
Revelation 13:
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
