Your claim of Antiochus Epiphanies IV in 167BC doesn't fit the description in Daniel 11:37 below, he nor his father's worshipped the true Hebrew (God Of His Fathers), and he desired women having a wife and several childrenSo this is what we glean from scripture:
Antiochus IV Epiphanes is the biblical type of the man of sin of 2 Thessalonians 2:4:
Daniel 11
36 And the king shall do according to his will. And he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper until the fury is fulfilled. For that which is decreed shall be done.
37 He will not regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god. For he shall magnify himself above all.
2 Thessalonians 2
3 Let not anyone deceive you by any means. For that Day shall not come unless there first comes a falling away, and the man of sin shall be revealed, the son of perdition,
4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself forth, that he is God.
Revelation 13
5 And a mouth speaking great things was given to it, and blasphemies. And authority was given to it to continue forty-two months.
6 And it opened its mouth in blasphemy toward God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, and those dwelling in Heaven.
7 And it was given to it to war with the saints and to overcome them.
Daniel 8:11; Daniel 11:31 and Daniel 12:11 are referring to the abomination of desolation that was set up in the holy place by Antiochus IV Epiphanes; but Daniel Chapter 12 is also the first part of the prophecy which is complemented (completed) by Jesus in Revelation 10:
Daniel 12:7
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was on the waters of the river, when he held up his right and his left hand to Heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half. And when they have made an end of scattering the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
Revelation 10:5-7
5 And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the earth lifted his hand to the heaven,
6 and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created the heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, that there should no longer be time.
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he will begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as He has declared to His servants the prophets.
Daniel 12:1-13 is complemented (completed) by Revelation 10:1-7, and Daniel Chapter 12 points both back to the abomination set up by Antiochus, and forward to the time of the end.
There are two separate times in the book of Daniel that the word "abomination" is associated with the temple of God, and there is a major difference between the two:
1. The abomination of desolation (singular) set up by Antiochus IV Epiphanes did not result in the destruction of the temple: After he was ousted by the Maccabees, the temple was cleansed, rededicated, and reconsecrated to God.
2. The abominations (plural) that were committed in Daniel 9:27 would result in the destruction of the temple.
This means that we have to look for a man seating himself up in the sanctuary of God (2 Thessalonians 2:4), at a time when an apostasy (Greek: ho apostasia) occurs. And this means that we have to establish "which" sanctuary of God the Greek word naos which is used in 2 Thessalonians 2:4 for "temple" denotes.
And you'll be looking at someone seating himself up in the church, if you become aware of the last time the word naos is used in the New Testament in reference to the Jerusalem temple.
The Future Human Man, The Antichrist Seen Below In (Daniel) 11:37 Will Be A Hebrew/Jew In Decent, His Fathers Worshipped The True Hebrew (God Of His Fathers), and he won't desire women
(Daniel) 11:37KJV
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
Examples: God Of His Fathers
(2 Kings) 21:22KJV
22 And he forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
(2 Chronicles) 21:10KJV
10 So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the Lord God of his fathers.
