Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 11:31-45

31-45 The remainder of this prophecy is very difficult, and commentators differ much respecting it. From Antiochus the account seems to pass to antichrist. Reference seems to be made to the Roman empire, the fourth monarchy, in its pagan, early Christian, and papal states. The end of the Lord's anger against his people approaches, as well as the end of his patience towards his enemies. If we would escape the ruin of the infidel, the idolater, the superstitious and cruel persecutor, as well as... 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

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 11:30-45

Arrogance Overthrown Daniel 11:30-45 The career of Antiochus Epiphanes, in persecuting the people of God and plotting against Jehovah and His sanctuary, is so described as to suggest that it also includes further fulfillments, and especially that last Antichrist, of whom Antiochus was the pre-figurement. So accurate is the correspondence between this prophecy and its historical fulfillment that Porphyry, the opponent of Christianity, maintained that this description was written after the... read more

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 11:31

‘And arms will stand on his part, and they will profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and will take away that which is continual, and they will set up the Abomination that Appals.’ These activities were then followed by the setting of sentries in the temple itself, (‘arms will stand on his part, and they will profane the sanctuary’), and finally the erection of an altar to Zeus in the temple, on which he sacrificed a pig, an ‘Abomination that Appals’, to all Israelites a Desolating Horror.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 11:32

‘And such as do wickedly against the covenant will he pervert by flatteries. But the people who know their God will be strong and will so act. And those who are wise among the people will instruct many. Yet they will fall by the sword, and by flame, and by imprisonment, and by being spoiled, for many days.’ Jerusalem was still divided. While some of the Hellenisers, those ‘who did wickedly against the covenant’, may have been shaken, they allowed themselves to be talked round and were willing... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 11:31

Daniel 11:31 . arms shall stand: an armed force will attack at his instance.— profane the sanctuary: refers to Antiochus’ attack upon the Temple (see 1Ma_1:29 ff.).— the abomination that maketh desolate: i.e. the heathen altar which Antiochus built over the altar of burnt offering (see 1Ma_1:54 ). This expression is quoted in the NT ( Matthew 24:15, Mark 13:14). read more
