Daniel 11-12 contains one of the longest, most detailed, and therefore most important, prophecies in the Old Testament.
The fulfillment of these prophecies help us know that the Bible is true, that God is the Lord of history and that Jesus can be trusted.
The prophecy has three parts
1) The history of the Near East from the time of Daniel up to the appearance of Antiochus Epiphanes, whose coming has already been prophesied in earlier chapters. (Daniel 11:2-20)
2) The career of Antiochus himself. (Daniel 11:21-35)
3) Last part is either about Antiochus, the early history of the Roman Empire, or, as I believe, events that are yet to come. (v.36-end of Daniel 12)
