The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 11:21-45

The specious success of a bad monarch. There is mystery in the fact that, under the administration of a righteous God, bad men should be elevated to highest rank. Yet, evil though it is, it would probably be a greater evil to employ mere force to prevent it. It is evident that God rules among men by moral agencies. This is one circumstance among the "all things" that "work together for the good" of God's elect. I. BAD MEN ARE PERMITTED BY GOD TO CLIMB INTO IMPERIAL ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 11:31

And arms shall stand on hie part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. The render * ing of the LXX . is close to the above, "And arms shall stand by him, and shall pollute the sanctuary of fear "—probably the LXX . read מָגוֹר ( magor ), "fear," instead of מעוז ( ma ‛oz ), "fortress," a change probably due to the fact that ע sounded in Greek ears... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 11:32

And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. The LXX . translates, "And by sins of the covenant shall they defile themselves with a hard people, and the people knowing these things shall have the mastery and do (exploits)." The , the preformative of the participle hiphil, has been taken for the preposition מִן . written defectively, and probably בִּלְ אֹם קָשֵׁה for ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 11:33

And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet, they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. The LXX . rendering is, "The prudent of the people shall understand in multitudes ( εἰς πολλούς ), and they shall push against them with the sword, and shall grow old with it ( παλαιωθήσονται ἐν αὐτῇ ) . " We should feel inclined to read ἐπάλαισαν , had Paulus Tellensis not read as the text, "And by bondage and by... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 11:31

And arms shall stand on his part - Up to this verse there is a general agreement among commentators, that the reference is to Antiochus Epiphanes. From this verse, however, to the end of the chapter, there is no little diversity of opinion. One portion suppose that the description of Antiochus and his deeds continues still to be the design of the prophet; another, that the Romans are here introduced, and that a part of the predictions in the remainder of this chapter are yet to be fulfilled;... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 11:32

And such as do wickedly against the covenant - That is, among the Jews. They who apostatized, and who became willing to receive the religion of foreigners. There “was” such a party in Jerusalem, and it was numerous. See Jahn, “Heb. Commonwealth,” pp. 258, 259. Compare 1 Macc. 1:52: “Then many of the people were gathered unto them, to wit, every one that forsook the law; and so they committed evils in the land.”Shall he corrupt by flatteries - By flattering promises of his favor, of office, of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 11:33

And they that under stand among the people - Among the Hebrew people. The allusion is to such as, in those times of so general corruption and apostasy, should have a proper understanding of the law of God and the nature of religion. There were such in the days of Judas Maccabeus, and it is reasonable to suppose that they would endeavor to inculcate just views among the people.Shall instruct many - In the nature of religion; in their duty to their country and to God. See Prideaux, “Con.” iii.... read more

Daniel 11:31. And arms shall stand on his part His arms shall so prevail as to make an entire conquest of the Jews, to profane the temple, and cause the daily service performed there to cease: see note Daniel 8:11; and compare 1Ma 1:39 ; and 2Ma 5:2-5 . The temple is here called the sanctuary of strength, either because it was fortified after the manner of a castle, or else because it was a token of the divine protection, as being the place God had chosen to be worshipped in. We are... read more

Daniel 11:32. Such as do wickedly shall he corrupt by flatteries This is a declaration, that there would be many wicked persons who would be enticed to this idolatry by Antiochus’s persuasions. Jason and Menelaus, who were made high-priests by Antiochus for a sum of money, afterward became his instruments, and consented to the setting up of this idol: see 1Ma 1:52 ; 2Ma 4:13-15 ; and 2Ma 5:15 ; and 2Ma 6:21 .
