Dan 11 pt. 1 The "little horn" of Antiochus Epiphanes is Muhammad & his barbaric religion of Islam.

The replacement for the "little horn" of Antiochus Epiphanes is none other than the person of Muhammad and his barbaric religion of Islam.
Daniel Chapter 11, Part 1 of 2
This chapter and the next will tell us precisely what will happen in the future in great detail and with little symbolism.

Chapters 10 - 12 deal with one single vision. Therefore, this chapter is a continuation of chapter 10. The very importance of this chapter caused evil forces to try to stop the angelic messenger from delivering it. This prophecy concerns Persia and Greece and Rome and the Islamic nations that comprise the ten-horned beast.

"And in his place a despicable person will arise, on whom the honor of kingship has not been conferred, but he will come in a time of tranquility and seize the kingdom by intrigue.

Christianity attributes this passage and much of the rest of this chapter to Antiochus Epiphanes IV and the previous verse to Seleucus Philopator. But we can see from this verse alone, that is not possible. The passage says this despicable person will not have the honor of kingship. Antiochus Epiphanes was the king of the Seleucid Empire. This passage could not possibly be speaking of him. Regardless, Daniel 8 already spent plenty of time telling details of this evil king that oppressed Israel for six years. So who is this despicable person that arises in the place of Antiochus Epiphanes? The answer is in the description of Antiochus Epiphanes in

Dan 8:9
And out of one of them came forth a rather small horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Beautiful Land.

Antiochus is referred to as a "little horn." Who is best to replace a "little horn," but another "little horn?" We have another "little horn" described for us in Daniel in the vision of the four beast in Daniel chapter 7. In particular we see this little horn in Daniel 7:9.

Dan 7:9
“I kept looking Until thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days took His seat; His vesture was like white snow, And the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was ablaze with flames, Its wheels were a burning fire.

The replacement for the "little horn" of Antiochus Epiphanes is none other than the person of Muhammad and his barbaric religion of Islam. The similarities of these little horns are astounding. They both worshipped false gods. They both forced Israel to worship false gods under the penalty of death. They both set up their false gods at or in the site of the Temple. They both stopped Israel from performing their sacrifices and offerings to Elohim. They both declared themselves to be gods. They both desired and attempted to destroy the ones with whom Elohim made a covenant. The passage says that "a despicable person will arise, on whom the honor of kingship has not been conferred..." Muhammad was not a king. He claimed to have visions and claimed he was the prophet of Allah. The NASB states that he will come in a time of tranquility. However the term "time" is not in the Hebrew text. The NKJV translates this as "but he shall come in peaceably." Muhammad was originally asked to come to Medina to settle disputes between the Arabs and Jews. This was before he even started his religion of Islam.
