He Shall Come To His End

This sermon examines the final verses of Daniel chapter 11, identifying the historical figure Antiochus IV as a prophetic shadow of the future Antichrist. The message highlights the Antichrist's characteristics of self-will, self-exaltation, deceptive speech, and temporary success, contrasting his rebellion with the submission of Jesus Christ. It addresses the common struggle of believers who question why the wicked seem to prosper, using the analogy of a compass to illustrate that the human heart is designed to worship and will inevitably latch onto something other than God if not directed toward the Creator. The sermon concludes with pastoral comfort, urging believers not to despair over the apparent triumph of evil but to trust in God's sovereignty, knowing that the wicked will ultimately face a definitive and helpless end.
