CHAPTER 11 The Wars of the Ptolemies and Seleucidae Predicted The Coming Events of the End 1. The wars of the Ptolemies and Seleucidae (Daniel 11:1-35 ) 2. The time of the end and the man of sin (Daniel 11:36-45 ) Daniel 11:1-35 . Here we have history pre-written and the greater part of this chapter (Daniel 11:2-35 ) is fulfilled historically. So accurate are these predictions and their subsequent fulfillment that the enemies of “the Scripture of truth” have declared that it could never... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Daniel 11:24

11:24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do [that] which his fathers {z} have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: [yea], and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a {a} time.(z) Meaning, in Egypt.(a) He will content himself with the small strongholds for a time, but will always labour by craft to attain to the chiefest. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Daniel 11:1-35

“A GREAT WARFARE ” Note the late date of this prophecy (Daniel 10:1 ), and the different rendering of a phrase in the Revised Version, where “even a great warfare” is substituted for “the time appointed was long.” As the unveiling of the lesson will show, this phrase is an appropriate title for it. Note the physical and spiritual preparation of the prophet for the revelation that follows (Daniel 10:2-4 ), a condition into which he had doubtless brought himself by prayer. Had he been seeking... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Daniel 11:5-45

If my Reader be more curious to make search into hidden things, than to turn over again and again those which the Lord hath revealed; I fear that he will not be pleased with the shortness I purpose to observe, in my Commentary on this Chapter, and in including almost the whole Chapter under one view. But my apology is this. Where the word of God is not very clear and plain, I humbly conceive, that the Lord's intuition is, in this obscurity, his people should humbly wait the explanation of... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 11:1-30

1-30 The angel shows Daniel the succession of the Persian and Grecian empires. The kings of Egypt and Syria are noticed: Judea was between their dominions, and affected by their contests. From ver. Daniel 11:5-30, is generally considered to relate to the events which came to pass during the continuance of these governments; and from ver. Daniel 11:21, to relate to Antiochus Epiphanes, who was a cruel and violent persecutor of the Jews. See what decaying, perishing things worldly pomp and... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Daniel 11:1-99

Daniel 11 WE NOW COME to the last of the prophetic revelations, received and recorded by Daniel. The opening verses of chapter 11, indeed the larger part of the chapter, give us predictions that very evidently have long since been fulfilled. If our readers will glance at the close of verse Dan_11:35 , they will see the words, 'to the time of the end, because it is yet for a time appointed'. Then turning back to Dan_9:26 , they will see the words, 'unto the end'; and at that point came the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Daniel 11:21-45

Further Revelations Concerning the Future v. 21. And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, a despicable and morally contemptible character, to whom they shall not give the honor of the kingdom, who seized the royal power and authority against the will of the nation; but he shall come in peaceably and obtain the kingdom by flatteries, that is, come in unexpectedly; while men thought that the rightful heir would succeed to the throne, Antiochus Epiphanes obtained the kingdom by... read more

b. Detailed prophetic description of the Persian and Græcian world-kingdoms, and also of the kingdoms which should arise from the latter, together with their conflicts.Daniel 11:2-45. 2And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in [to] Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by [according to] his strength through [by] his riches he shall stir up all [the whole] against [with] the realm of Græcia [kingdom of Javan].3And a mighty... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Daniel 11:15-29

the Despoiler Triumphs for a Time Daniel 11:15-29 What a picture is presented in this paragraph of the tangled web of earthly politics. They have been too much, and for too long, in the hands of those who sought only their own aggrandizement to attain which they have been willing to sacrifice their honor, their families, their daughters, their people. The time has arrived when the people themselves, at first hand, must determine their destinies. These intrigues between the kings of Syria on... read more
