Daniel reveals a second vision pertaining to the rise of the Medo/Persian and Greek kingdoms that would reign and rule upon the earth.
Antiochus Epiphanes, who ruled as a part of the Greek empire when it was divided into four kingdoms following Alexander's death, is presented to Daniel as a typology of the future Roman Antichrist who will rule the world in the latter days.
Often in prophecy, there is a near and partial fulfillment that validates the far and future complete fulfillment. Antiochus of Greece was a typological historical figure that points to the final Antichrist of a yet future Roman kingdom who shall rise upon the earth following the rapture of the church. The rapture affords the climate for his rise to power, and advance of globalism.
