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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 11:30

For the ships of Chittim shall come against him - The word rendered Chittim - כתים kı̂ttı̂ym - according to Gesenius, properly means “Cyprians,” so called from a celebrated Phoenician colony in the island of Cyprus. In a wider acceptation the name came to comprehend the islands and coasts of the Mediterranean Sea, especially the northern parts, and therefore stands for the islands and coasts of Greece and the AEgean Sea. See Gesenius, Lexicon, and compare Josephus, “Ant.” b. i. ch. vi. 1. The... 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

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 11:29-30

Daniel 11:29-30. At the time appointed Namely, by God. At the time determined by the divine providence, he shall return and come toward the south He shall march into Egypt again. Antiochus perceiving that his fine-woven policy was unravelled, and that the two brothers, Philometor and Euergetes, instead of wasting and ruining each other in war, had laid aside their mutual dissensions, and provided for their common safety and interest by making peace, and agreeing to reign jointly, was so... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 11:31

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

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Daniel 11:29-45

Antiochus attacks the Jews (11:29-45)Before he had a chance to launch his anti-Jewish campaign, Antiochus heard there was unrest in Egypt, so he returned south to put down the rebellion. But Egypt called in the help of a foreign navy and Antiochus was forced to flee back to Palestine. On his arrival in Jerusalem, he found that fighting had broken out between rival Jewish groups. One of these groups consisted of people who were loyal to their ancient religion, the other of people who were... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 11:29-30

Daniel 11:29-30. At the time appointed he shall return, &c.— Antiochus perceiving that his policy was detected, and that the two brothers had provided for their mutual safety, was so offended, that he prepared war much more eagerly and maliciously against both, than he had before against one of them. Early in the spring he set forward with his army; and, passing through Coelo-Syria, came into Egypt; and the inhabitants of Memphis submitting to him, he came by easy marches down to... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 11:31

Daniel 11:31. And arms shall stand on his part, &c.— After Antiochus, arms, that is, the Romans, shall stand up. As ממלךֶ mimelech, signifies after the kings in Dan 11:8 so ממנו mimennu, may here signify after him. See also Neh 13:21 and Dan 11:23 of this chapter, in the original. Arms, says Sir Isaac Newton, are every where in this prophesy put for the military power of a kingdom; and they stand up, when they conquer and grow powerful. Hitherto Daniel had described the actions of the kings... read more
