The Point of Attack

Takeaway: Our passage prophetically describes the violent and targeted attack of Antiochus IV against God’s people centuries after Daniel’s day. More than the isolated historical attack of a cruel tyrant, this battle was representative of the ongoing spiritual warfare that God’s people have always faced. What can we learn about the little horn’s point of attack that might be helpful in our spiritual battles? Are we as concerned to defend our spiritual vulnerabilities as we are to defend our physical vulnerabilities?
