Seleucus IV Philopator

is imperative due to the copious references in Daniel to Antiochus Epiphanes, which is a typology of the Antichrist. If the dating of the book were held to the former instead of the latter, this would diminish the significance of the prophecies and in turn would make Daniel simply a historical account of events instead of the true prophetic book that God intended it to be. The intent of this paper is to discuss the importance of Daniel’s prophecies relating to Antiochus Epiphanes and how they are also a double reference to the Antichrist. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND In order for the argument that Antiochus IV Epiphanes is a form of the Antichrist to be understood, appropriate attention must be given to who Antiochus was and his impact on the Jewish people. Antiochus was ruler of the Seleucid Empire from 175-164 B.C., and assumed the throne after his older brother Seleucus IV Philopator. He is known for his conquests of…

The Secret History was written by Procopius during his lifetime, but after his other works. This was a work written for himself and close friends, which he never intended to publish. The Secret History shows a different side to the events that happened in the Byzantine Empire. This book shows a different side to many different, well know rulers in Byzantine. Procopius portrays Antonina to be a very scandalous person with very little morals who would cheat on her husband every chance she got.…

Wondering how the first colonists felt, when they first arrived to the new world, Emily Amend and I started to play a game called Civilization IV. Civilization IV is a game that allows its players to create settlements, occupations, and alliances with others that would allow the citizens within the settlements to survive. Civilization IV, also, allows its players to feel like they were actually just coming over to America because the players had to make decisions that the first colonists had to…

order to be alone to reflect on the issues that troubled him. While alone, it is believed that Allah shared messages with Muhammad through Angel Gabriel. Muhammad was instructed to share with others as inspirations and spiritual guidance.

For my FOA I’ve decided to pick the most iconic movie speech of all time from the final installment of the Rocky franchise released in 2006. The learning outcome I wish to achieve from my FOA is to demonstrate an awareness of how language and meaning are shaped by culture and context. Rocky Balboa (starring Sylvester Stallone), the 6th and final installment of the “Rocky” franchise, is the story of a retired boxing champion who surprisingly comes out of his retirement to face one…

He, as every underdog is, is highly relatable, but beyond that he particularly resonates with me because even though the story is about him achieving his goal, defeating Apollo Creed in a bloody one on one boxing match,…

frequently forgotten as the writer’s third genre, Shakespeare’s histories reveal insights on human action and reasoning. His other plays, such as the comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream, include allusions to the political powers of his time, but his histories always contain relevant reminders to play attendees: history has and always will repeat itself. From the battlefields of England and France, all the way to Ancient Rome, leaders of the state will take any action necessary to protect the state,…

late 11th century, issues arose between Pope Gregory VII and Emperor Henry IV relating to the inductance of Church officials, especially bishops, and who was to have true Jurisdiction over it. According to Traditions and Encounters, Higher Church officials along with having significant religious authority, also had a high degree of political influence as well (p.395). This is in mind; it connects well to why the Emperor would be interested in having authority over the appointment of such;…
