The epistle of Second Timothy is considered to be one of Paul’s most personal letters. He is writing during his second and final imprisonment to his trusted and beloved son in the faith. Paul knows his execution is imminent. His concern is not for himself, but for Timothy, who must continue in the spiritual battle. His theme, “the good soldier of Jesus Christ” follows that of first Timothy, “Fight the good fight” (1Ti 1:18; 1Ti 6:12).

Daniel #18
Daniel reviews gentile history; Revelation fills in the church age. The empire of Greece after Alexander, split four ways (Dan 8:8): Turkey, Greece, Syria, Eqypt. The little horn -- antichrist -- comes out of one of the 4 areas (Dan 8:5, Dan 8:9). Prophecy has a near and far fulfillment. Antiochus Epiphanies is a near fulfillment of the little horn. Satan is behind the antichrist (Rev 12:3-6). The antichrist makes himself in the place of Christ (Dan 8:11, Jos 5:14-15). The period of time that the sanctuary is "trodden under foot" is 3.5 years or 2300 days (Dan 8:12-14). Gabriel explains (Dan 8:15-19, Dan 9:21, Dan 10:13, Luk 1:26). The rapture happens at the "last trumpet" (1Co 15:52); the first trumpet gathers Israel (Num 10:1-2). Antichrist has Satan behind him (Dan 8:23-24, Dan 11:31-34) and opposes Jesus Christ the "Prince of Princes" (Dan 8:25). Daniel remained faithful to authority place over him (Dan 8:27).
