In “The Despicable King,” Dalton Thomas continues his detailed look at the Antichrist.
In the video below, called the Despicable King, Dalton Thomas goes verse by verse through Daniel eleven. He believes as do many other teachers, that Daniel’s last three chapters consist of one long vision. The vision starts as the Babylonian captivity of Israel has drawn to a close. Then it quickly projects forward into clear historical events. It gives us a possible earlier “type” for the Antichrist in the brutal leader historians tell us was Antiochus Epiphanes. But the vision doesn’t stop there, as many scholars claim that it does. Dalton believes, as do I, that the vision pushes far into the future and comes to a brutal climax. An ending so brutal, Jesus said there will be no match for it in all of history.
Daniel wrote that vision of the future in a vivid and important detail in the final chapters of his book. Dalton and his good friend Joel Richardson, believe chapters eleven and twelve are quite possibly a roadmap for Christians in the final days before the return of Christ.
In addition to his writings, the prophet Daniel gives every Christian an excellent model by which we all should live. His devotion to the Lord and to the inerrant and trustworthy Word of God is a shining example to all of us.

On a lighter note, here’s something from the ‘beloved Disciple’
The Word of Life
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have gazed upon and touched with our own hands— this is the Word of life.
2 And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us.…

I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning, I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.

Read the words of one of the earliest and most prolific Christian writers of the second century.
This writer, Hippolytus, studied under Ignatius, who was a disciple of the Apostle John. Reading the early writings allows us a closer glimpse into the understanding of the thought leaders in the early church as they grappled with and tried to understand the weighty responsibilities they had to carry the doctrines of Christ into the next century.
This is what you’ll find in this ‘book.’
His words, but with a little help for clarity.
Hippolytus was well-schooled in the Old Testament as well as the early New Testament writings. He was a strong advocate for a correct interpretation of the scriptures. He learned to read and interpret God’s Word from some of the greats of the early church disciples. And he also wrote extensively regarding heretical teaching, warning everyone to avoid false teaching.
“In Search of Antichrist,” includes a compilation of one of the many books from Hippolytus. You see how he researched the scriptures diligently in the hope of understanding this mysterious character known as the Antichrist.
My thoughts and comments
In the original form, the book is very hard to read. To help with that, I’ve added a few things, but only to support the reader to come to a clearer view of his work. I’ve added chapter headings, limited comments, and some key verses with their biblical addresses, ones to which the author referred. As you read, you’ll see that he never refers to chapters and verses in his study. That’s because there weren’t any chapters or verses in the earliest versions of the Bible. And that’s another reason to be impressed by the early students of the scriptures.
Also, I don’t agree with some of his conclusions. But I am intrigued to see how he went into the O.T. to find his ‘proofs’ for who he believed the Antichrist is.
I hope it’s helpful in your studies.
Let me know what you think.
