Daniel 11:44 NASB,NASB

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Daniel 11:1-45

The foretelling of the glorious One is contained in this chapter. It covered a period to the time of Antiochus Epiphanes, and finally referred to the Messianic kingdom. There would be yet three kings in Persia, and also a fourth, "richer than they all." The fourth would "stir up all against the realm of Greece." This undoubtedly would refer to Xerxes. Following the fourth there would be another, whose kingdom would be broken and scattered. Here the reference was to Alexander. Beyond that,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 11:20-44

Antiochus Epiphanes - The Scourge of Israel. Apart from Daniel 11:20, the remaining verses in the chapter deal with the life of Antiochus IV Epiphanes, second son of Antiochus III, who usurped the throne from his brother’s son, Demetrius, and persecuted Israel, leading on into a mysterious figure who will appear at the end of time (Daniel 11:40). Antiochus IV is the ‘horn of littleness’ of Daniel 8:23-25, while the mysterious figure is the ‘horn, the small one’ of Daniel 7:24-26. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 11:44

‘But tidings out of the east and out of the north will trouble him, and he will go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to make away many, and he will plant the tents of his palace (his palatial tents) between the sea and the mountain of the delight of holiness. Yet he will come to his end and none will help him.’ His god is the god of fortresses, and he wars to the end. But Satan’s kingdom is divided. The world fight each other as well as the people of God. Yet in the end he cannot get... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 11:44

The Christian princes of the north, and the dispersed Israelites, and the Jews carried captive into the north, Jeremiah 16:14,Jeremiah 16:15, called also kings of the east, shall come and trouble him, and all his power shall not be able to withstand. See Revelation 16:12. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Daniel 11:40-45

HOMILETICSSECT. XLII.—SARACENS AND TURKS. (Chap. Daniel 11:40-45.)Considerable obscurity connected with the present section. According to some, it is a continuation of the prophecy regarding the vile person or Antiochus Epiphanes, here still styled the King of the North. Thus viewed, the prophecy points to a last expedition against Egypt made after those previously mentioned; an expedition, however, of which history gives no intimation, but the reverse. [330] In the opinion of many evangelical... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Daniel 11:1-45

Now He begins to reveal unto Daniel these things are going to transpire, as far as the future is concerned. And here Daniel gets into such interesting details that many of the Bible critics have a difficult time with the eleventh chapter of the book of Daniel. And they say that it was actually written in the year 166 B.C., after all of these events took place, because it was impossible that he could have written of these events until they had happened. However, that's of course quite a miracle... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 11:1-45

Daniel 11:2 . There shall stand up yet three kings in Persia. Daniel, a minister of state for most of his long life, was here shewn the succession of kingdoms in so clear a light as to command all men to believe in the truth of revelation. He describes the conflicts of the kings of Egypt and Asia, as the flux and reflux of the sea. The first of those three kings was Cambyses, son of Cyrus. The second Smerdis the great. The third Darius Hystaspes, the husband of queen Esther. The fourth was... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Daniel 11:36-45

Daniel 11:36-45And the King shall do according to his will.The Reign of the AntichristWe Christians look for an Antichrist yet to come. Apart from revelation, it is, in itself, in conformity with human nature, and the laws of things, that, as good intensifies to a grand consummation of good, so will evil also intensify the grand consummation of evil. The world is made up of light and shadow, the one always accompanying the other; and as the light increases the shadows deepen; till, when the... read more
