Daniel 9:25
“Know therefore and understand,
That from the going forth of the command
To restore and build Jerusalem
Until Messiah the Prince,
There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks;
The street shall be built again, and the wall,
Even in troublesome times.
26
“And after the sixty-two weeks
Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself;
And the people of the prince who is to come
Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.
The end of it shall be with a flood,
And till the end of the war desolations are determined.
27
Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
Even until the consummation, which is determined,
Is poured out on the desolate.”

If I am reading this correctly it clearly says: The people of the prince who is to come shall the destroy the city and sanctuary, when the messiah is cut off.
This passage indicates that the "people" of the prince (Antichrist) who destroyed the city and sanctuary is the Roman people. The Roman armies came in and destroyed Jerusalem in 70 A.D. after the messiah was cut off.
The passage shows in verse 26 that the prince to come, who is the Antichrist, is coming out of the Roman Empire. Daniels vision of the end time took place under the King of Persia.
Does this leave the possibility that there could be a Persian tie to the Antichrist? Or is there even enough evidence to know for certain this question of lineage?

I love reading the book of Daniel and seeing Daniel's interaction with powerful Kings that ruled the earth and then seeing God's hand in the affairs of men. It's interesting that God would reveal these future events to men, concerning the future and what will happen at the end of time.
With Iran (Persia) going nuclear and making alliances with the Russians, while spewing out hatred of Israel and still talking of annihilation of the Jewish people, that, we are probably closer to the end of time then what we realize.
Its interesting that Iran would call us the great satan, and then become friends with Russia. When Russia lives just like we do. The modernize western culture has swept through Russia and they are no different then us in that respect.
To be continued later:
