[Buggman]

'Tis a more devilish work for someone to claim that the Messiah Himself didn't know what He was talking about. After all, did not Yeshua say, "Therefore when you see the Abomination of Desolation standing in the Holy Place . . ."? And yet wasn't that prophecy (He quoted directly from Dan. 11:31) also fulfilled by Antiochus Epiphanes?

Prophecy is about pattern, not prediction. That's why the Apostles could see in prophecies seemingly already fulfilled pictures of our King. And therefore it will be no surprise to the dilligent student of the Word when another Antiochus/Antichrist appears to defile the Temple yet again in the days just preceeding the return of our Savior.

Shalom.

Daniel 11 was indeed fulfilled by Antiochus Epiphanes.

Jesus simply warned His listeners that the Temple would be despoiled again.

As it indeed was, during the Great Tribulation of the Jewish Wars, AD 66 through 70.

Prophecy is about pattern, not prediction. That's why the Apostles could see in prophecies seemingly already fulfilled pictures of our King. And therefore it will be no surprise to the dilligent student of the Word when another Antiochus/Antichrist appears to defile the Temple yet again in the days just preceeding the return of our Savior.

Well, there's no personal, Big-A "Antichrist" in Scripture. The Bible never employs the term in that manner.

But, at any rate -- as mentioned, Christ's own prophecy regarding the despoilment of the Temple has also been fulfilled.
