Daniel 11:40

40. As we understand it (see remarks above) we have here an epitome of the history contained in Daniel 11:22-27.

At the time of the end See Daniel 11:4; Daniel 11:27; Daniel 11:35; Daniel 8:17. As we have shown (Daniel 11:40-45) this does not prove, as Bevan claims, that these events were subsequent to those previously described. Bevan himself would acknowledge that in the mind of the writer the “end” did not close until the end of Antiochus (Daniel 11:45). The seer now sees that the entire cruel reign of Antiochus is at [rather, in] the time of the end. The seventy long weeks of years find their consummation and end here. Beyond this end of the “indignation” (Daniel 8:19) comes the beginning of Messiah’s reign.
