	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Antiochus IV Epiphanes
		The reign of Antiochus was a last period of strength for the empire, but in some way it was fatal; since he was an usurper, and left his infant son Antiochus V Eupator as his successor, devastating dynastic wars followed his death.
		Antiochus said he would discuss it with his council, whereupon the envoy drew a line in the sand round him and said, "Think about it here." The implication was that, were he to step out of the circle without having first undertaken to withdraw, he would be at war with Rome.
		Antiochus IV was the son of Antiochus III Magnus, the sixth of the Seleucid kings.

	JewishEncyclopedia.com - ANTIOCHUS IV., EPIPHANES
		He was a son of Antiochus the Great, and, after the murder of his brother Seleucus, took possession of the Syrian throne which rightly belonged to his nephew Demetrius.
		He was vainglorious and fond of display to the verge of eccentricity, liberal to extravagance; his sojourn in Rome had taught him how to captivate the common people with an appearance of geniality, but in his heart he had all a cruel tyrant's contempt for his fellow men.
		On his return homeward, Antiochus came to Jerusalem to reinstate Menelaus, and then the true character of the Hellenism that Antiochus desired was revealed to the Jews.

	Chapter 29: The Period of Jewish Independence
		Antiochus IV was engaged in a struggle with the Parthians, but dispatched a powerful army in 166 to put down the Jewish rebels.
		The desperate plight of the Jews under Antiochus IV elicited a literary call for stubborn resistance to Greek culture and zealous loyalty to the traditional faith, in the conviction that God was about to act to bring in the long-awaited kingdom and to redeem his people.
		The catalyst was the persecution under Antiochus, which produced a failure of nerve, a despair of man's ability to effect the kingdom of God through his own efforts and a conviction that the situation could only get worse until God himself broke in to terminate the present evil age and inaugurate the ideal.

		Antiochus retained a grateful recollection of the complaisant youth who had made things so agreeable for him in the days of his captivity.

	Is the reference in Daniel 8 to 2300 days a prophecy of Antiochus Epiphanes or Antichrist? - Rev. Bill Lee-Warner
		The "near" prophecy of Daniel 8:9-12 (the first vision) was fulfilled in the historical figure of Antiochus Epiphanes (175 B.C. to 164 B.C.), "the small horn" (Daniel 8:9).
		The "far" prophecy of Daniel 8:23-25 (the second vision) will be fulfilled when "the fourth beast", "the little horn" (Daniel 7:8) appears at the end of history or at "the time of the end".
		In other words, the ethnic roots of the nations existing during the time of the first prophecy will continue to exist in some manner until "the time of the end" when the ultimate prophecy will be fulfilled in "the little horn" or "the fourth beast".
