The Historical Reliability of the New Testament
RE: The Historical Reliability of the New Testament
Quote:In fact, Antiochus IV Epihanes in the villian in the Maccabees books and the "anti-christ" in Daniel chapter 11.  He was indeed a nasty character and considered himself to be God.   The rant in Zephaniah is something he might have said. 

An excellent point in that it allows us to date "Daniel" to 167 BC.  Everything prior to 167 happened and everything afterwards did not.  Surest way to spot a fuck up.
