Reason #13:
"If we accept the testimony of Jesus, the little horn of Daniel 8 cannot represent Antiochus
Epiphanes. Jesus made it clear that the "abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel" was still in the future in His day!! How could Antiochus, who lived in the second century before Christ, fulfill a prophecy which Jesus clearly indicated was still unfulfilled in His day? (See Matthew 24:15; Luke 21:20).
Furthermore, the little horn of Daniel 7 could not have been fulfilled by Antiochus either, because the apostle Paul specifies that this horn was still future in his day (II Thessalonians 2:1-13) The book of Revelation also places the fulfillment of this prophecy in the future (see Revelation 12:6, 14; 13:5; 11:1-2)."

Unto two thousand and three hundred days;
