Jay,
the little horn person following the Gog/Magog event of Ezekiel 38-39, will come into the middle east with the EU army. At that point he will be the prince that shall come of Daniel 9:26.
The little horn/prince that shall come will claim to come as a peace keeper into the region. But for the ten EU leaders, which he will be over, the motivation will be to grab up control of all the oil rich areas in the middle east.
The Jews will perceive
the little horn/prince that shall come as their long awaited King of Israel messiah.
The false prophet, initially perceived by the Jews as Elijah, will anointed
the little horn/prince that shall come as the King of Israel. Thus,
the little horn/prince that shall come becomes the Antichrist at that point.
And a false messianic age begins, with the world saying "peace and safety".
About three years go by, and then totally unexpected, the Antichrist commits the transgression of desolation act of Daniel 8:13, as described in 2Thessalonians2:4. He will go into the temple (to be built), sit, and claim to have achieved God-hood.
The act also reveals him to be the man of sin and not the messiah as the Jews will have initially thought.
The Jews will reject his claim and will impeach him as continuing as their King of Israel. Ending his stage as the Antichrist.
Angered by their rejection,
the little horn/prince that shall come/Antichrist/revealed man of sin will persecute the Jews for their rejection of him.
His transgression of desolation act will draw God's wrath on him, and God will have him assassinated, Ezekiel 28:1-10. And in disdain for the person, God will return him back to life, in Isaiah 14:18-20. At which time,
the little horn/prince that shall come/Antichrist/revealed man of sin becomes the beast king.
the little horn/prince that shall come/Antichrist/revealed man of sin/beast king are the 5 stages of the little horn person.
