Daniel 11: 45 Commentary

1. Herod the Great
a. Had many royal palaces throughout Judea, including two in Jerusalem. But as his illness worsened in March, 4 BCE, he retired to his winter palace at Jericho, less than 10 miles northwest of the Dead Sea, about 45 miles east of the Mediterranean Sea, and less than 20 miles northeast of Jerusalem.
b. After years of suffering from a painful disease (possibly syphilis)
c. He became so despondent that he attempted to take his own life with a paring knife
d. But was stopped from this act by his cousin Achiab
e. Immediately after his suicide attempt, Herod ordered the execution of this son, Antipater
f. Just five days later he finally succumbed to his illness
g. Herod the king was 70 years old at the time of his death
2. The FUTURE Antichrist will be destroyed by Jesus Christ
a. And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the rest were killed with the
sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh (Rev 19:19-21)
