A Heavily Debated Figure
Commentators are deeply divided on the identity of the ruler in this verse. Some make a strong historical case for Antiochus Epiphanes (Source 1). Others argue it refers to the Roman Empire (Source 3), a future Antichrist figure (Source 2), or the Turkish Empire (Source 4). This variety shows that while the passage is specific, its ultimate identification has been a subject of debate for centuries.
