abominant of destruction = idol in a holy temple to mock at God
-Daniel's prophecy was partially fulfilled by king Antiochus Epiphanes captured Jerusalem
-he placed an idol of Zeus on God's alter and sacrificed a pig
-he banned all religious worship and practices
-Prophecy is only partially fulfilled cos Antiochus didnt die in Israel as Daniel 11:45
-Antiochus is not the antichrist, but the shadow of the antichrist who will come at the end time
