He was one of the most notorious persecutors of the Jews who ever lived. He defiled the Temple of God, killed religious zealots, and became the archetype of the Antichrist.
The Greek monarch, King Antiochus IV Epiphanes, ruled the ancient Seleucid Empire 2200 years ago. The authors have written the story of his reign and find an extremely revealing relationship between this mysterious personality and certain events that the Bible indicates are yet to come to pass.
An important evil figure in Bible prophecy comes to life in Antiochus.
Very enjoyable reading material. The story flows well, and keeps your attention. The story is weaved together with history well. However, closer to the end it becomes a supernatural story, and in the end it turns out to be a last day's story.
This is a real horror story. No special effects or CGI needed. You'll want to put it down, but you can't. Every bit as brutal as Nero or Caligula. This sent me into my under grad. New Testament Prof's office seeking whatever closure. Brutal.
