Antichrist in Jerusalem

In this episode we’re going pre Jesus, we’re going to the second century BCE, we’re going to a Hellenistic king at his peak at the peak of the Hellenistic Period. We’re on a journey to find the O.G. template for THE ANTICHRIST!

You know, the one who comes at the end for the final battle with Jesus. 

We are going to take a comedic look at the atrocities carried out in Jerusalem by the Seleucid king, Antiochus IV Epiphanes. This one individual had his hand in inspiring the Book of Daniel, First and Second Maccabees, Hanukkah, Hellenising the holy city, ultimately paving the way for Christ and ironically setting himself up as the blueprint for THE ANTICHRIST!
