Yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him

Daniel 11:36-45

The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place. 

Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his ancestors he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. He will attack the mightiest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him. He will make them rulers over many people and will distribute the land at a price.

He will pitch his royal tents between the seas at the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.

Do not describe actual events at the end of Antiochus' life. They may refer to the end of Syrian domination, at the hands of Rome, the new king from the north. Or they may anticipate events at the end of time which the sufferings of God's people under Antiochus foreshadow. This then leads into chapter 12.

Why?

Man always traces the name and power and wealth. But when he will be satisfied, never satisfied. This is the destination of many people.

Let honor the holy name of the Lord be my goal in my life. Live out the value God has given to me. And give honor to the Lord for all I can do is the mercy and grace from the Lord!

自高自大，不顧，出現兩次！

聖山中設立宮殿，自以為大。安提阿古四世，用花言巧語得國，行詭詐，趁人不備之時行事，用錢收買人心，用騙與誘惑的方法。正如今天世界的手法。也是撒旦的手法。神用愛來得人。雖然安提阿古四世如此不可一世，一些小國仍然無法控制，仍然有東方、北方的國家來擾亂。

結局到了，結局時無人幫助！

How?

Humble me and love my family, my staff, my friends, and my neighbors.
