Antiochus and the Antichrist: The Arch Enemies of God's People

God raised up a contemptible person to refine, purify, and sanctify His people:
1. Beware of using flattery and deceit
2. Guard your heart and tongue
3. Embrace God's work in spite of difficulty and suffering

God will raise up the antichrist, who will exalt and magnify himself as God:
1. He will deify himself
2. He will be a man of unbridled conquest
