John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 11:35

Verse 35 The angel pursues the same sentiment as before shewing us how the children of God, in their eagerness to defend the cause of piety, should be subject to many grievous persecutions. Some of the learned shall fall; meaning, that calamity shall not be for a single moment only; for those who earnestly desired to defend the true worship of God should perish by the sword, and by fire, and by other methods of destruction, and their successors, too, should suffer the same calamities.

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 11:36

Verse 36 This passage is very obscure, and has consequently been explained in very opposite ways by interpreters. And whatever is obscure, is usually doubtful, and there would be little utility and no termination, if I were to narrate the opinions of them all. I shall therefore follow another method, and omitting all superfluous labor, I shall simply inquire the angel’s meaning. I must, however, refer briefly to opinions received by the consent of the majority, because they occupy the minds of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 11:21-45

The specious success of a bad monarch. There is mystery in the fact that, under the administration of a righteous God, bad men should be elevated to highest rank. Yet, evil though it is, it would probably be a greater evil to employ mere force to prevent it. It is evident that God rules among men by moral agencies. This is one circumstance among the "all things" that "work together for the good" of God's elect. I. BAD MEN ARE PERMITTED BY GOD TO CLIMB INTO IMPERIAL ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 11:30

For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant. As the LXX . do not obscure the reference to Egypt, so they here call the ships of Chittim ῤομαῖοι . The rendering is, "And the Romans shall come, and shall drive him out, and shall make him wroth, and he shall return and be enraged against the... read more

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 11:32

And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. The LXX . translates, "And by sins of the covenant shall they defile themselves with a hard people, and the people knowing these things shall have the mastery and do (exploits)." The , the preformative of the participle hiphil, has been taken for the preposition מִן . written defectively, and probably בִּלְ אֹם קָשֵׁה for ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 11:33

And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet, they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. The LXX . rendering is, "The prudent of the people shall understand in multitudes ( εἰς πολλούς ), and they shall push against them with the sword, and shall grow old with it ( παλαιωθήσονται ἐν αὐτῇ ) . " We should feel inclined to read ἐπάλαισαν , had Paulus Tellensis not read as the text, "And by bondage and by... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 11:34

Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. The Septuagint rendering is, "And when they are crushed many shall be gathered to them in ( ἐπί ) the city, even many as in distribution by lot ( κληροδοσία ) . " This phrase is rendered by Paulus Tellensis, see Arabic word, ( poolog pesa ), "the division of the lots;" wrongly rendered by Bugati, in hereditate. The reading here is due to dropping of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 11:35

And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end; because it is yet for a time appointed. The rendering of the LXX . is, "And some of those of understanding shall consider to purify themselves beth to be chosen and to be purified to the time of the end, for the season is for hours." The translator must have read יִשְׂכְלוּ , instead of יִכָּשְׁלוּ . The reading of the Massoretes is to be preferred.... read more
