If you are referring to Herod and his dynasty, then technically, yes. They were all the spirit of Antichrist.
The above verse is describing the Crucifixion.
No. Daniel 11 has already happened.
Of course we do. The timeline is chronological and predictable historical fact. There is no 'transition into the future' with some imaginary gap in between.
Now I know not to take you seriously. Oh well, I may as well finish my comments.
Julius Caesar is a good fit for the above.

Many will try and use Antiochus IV Epiphanes as a scapegoat to erase Jesus and the Crucifixion from the Old Testament, especially from Daniel. They hate Jesus so much that they twist Daniel 11 to make it all about Antiochus 'sacrificing a pig' or whatever. They are the spirit of Antichrist.
Do a study on the word 'desolate'. This is a serious word associated with great physical destruction, not 'desecrating the Temple by swine'. This is Bible 101 exegesis.
You
@dad are doing something similar in that you are erasing the finished work of Jesus and making prophecy about YOURSELF and how amazing YOU are, and how God only cares about YOU. So naturally, God saved the biggest and best prophecies until YOU were born, right?
There is just no way that important people existed long ago. Why? Because YOU and TRUMP weren't there. You are making the same mistake as most. You are letting your ego interpret the verses to make them exciting to the times YOU are living in. I would suggest you humble yourself and realize that it's not all about YOU and the times YOU are living in.
This verse is describing the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD:
Those that understood Daniel instructed many to leave Jerusalem. The 'time of the end' is the end of the 70 weeks prophecy, i.e., 70AD:
It is well known amongst scholars that the 'desire of women' was to give birth to the Messiah. Obviously, many women at the time of King Herod wanted to give birth to Jesus:
King Herod tried to kill Jesus, remember? He fulfilled the prophecy perfectly. It is finished. Why not appreciate the beauty of what was foretold so many years before? Are you trying to erase all that history from the Bible like the others posting here?
Look:
God of Forces. Think Romans, during the Herod dynasty duh. This is too easy! Why is everyone here trying to delete Jesus from Scripture? Crazy.
