Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 11:36

Daniel 11:36. The king shall do, &c.— The prophet was speaking of the persecutions which should be permitted for the trial of the church after the empire was become Christian; and now he proceeds to describe the principal author of them. A king or kingdom, as we have before observed, signifies any government, state, or potentate; and the meaning of this verse we conceive to be, that after the empire was become Christian, there should spring up in the church an antichristian power, which... read more

30. ships of Chittim—the Roman ambassadors arriving in Macedonian Grecian vessels (see on :-).

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Daniel 11:31

31. arms—namely, of the human body; not weapons; human forces. they—Antiochus' hosts confederate with the apostate Israelites; these latter attain the climax of guilt, when they not only, as before, "forsake the covenant" (Daniel 11:30), but "do wickedly against" it (Daniel 11:30- :), turning complete heathens. Here Antiochus' actings are described in language which reach beyond him the type to Antichrist the antitype [JEROME] (just as in Psalms 72:1-20 many things are said of Solomon the type,... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Daniel 11:33

33. they that understand—who know and keep the truth of God ( :-). instruct many—in their duty to God and the law, not to apostatize. yet they shall fall—as Eleazar (2 Maccabees 6:18, c.). They shall be sorely persecuted, even to death (Hebrews 11:35 Hebrews 11:36; Hebrews 11:37; 2 Maccabees 6, 7). Their enemies took advantage of the Sabbath to slay them on the day when they would not fight. TREGELLES thinks, from comparison with Hebrews 11:37- :, it is the people who "fall," not those of... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Daniel 11:34

34. a little help—The liberty obtained by the Maccabean heroes for the Jews was of but short duration. They soon fell under the Romans and Herodians, and ever since every attempt to free them from Gentile rule has only aggravated their sad lot. The period of the world times (Gentile rule) is the period of depression of the theocracy, extending from the exile to the millennium [ROOS]. The more immediate reference seems to be, the forces of Mattathias and his five sons were originally few (1... read more

Hence they are allowed to fall for a time; not finally (2 Chronicles 32:31; Luke 22:31). Image from wheat cleared of its chaff by the wind. make . . . white—image from cloth (Revelation 7:9). to . . . time of . . . end—God will not suffer His people to be persecuted without limitation (1 Corinthians 10:13).

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Daniel 11:36

36. The wilful king here, though primarily Antiochus, is antitypically and mainly Antichrist, the seventh head of the seven-headed and ten-horned beast of :-, and the "beast" of Armageddon (Revelation 16:13; Revelation 16:16; Revelation 19:19). Some identify him with the revived French emperorship, the eighth head of the beast (Revelation 17:11), who is to usurp the kingly, as the Pope has the priestly, dignity of Christ—the false Messiah of the Jews, who will "plant his tabernacle between the... read more

2. The near future 11:2-35The interpreting angel now explained the long anticipated (since Daniel 10:1) revelation about the future that involved Daniel’s people, the Jews. The first part of it concerns events preceding Messiah’s first advent (Daniel 11:2-35), and the second part, events preceding Messiah’s second advent (Daniel 11:36 to Daniel 12:4).

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Daniel 11:21-35

The great persecution under Antiochus Epiphanes 11:21-35God gave more information about the following individual than He did about all the preceding ones combined. The reason is his devastating influence on the Jews. During his tenure as king, Syria was in decline and Rome gained power. Antiochus IV corresponds to the little horn of chapter 8 (Daniel 8:9-12; Daniel 8:23-25), and he foreshadows the little horn of chapter 7 (Daniel 7:8), Antichrist."The earlier kings are described to provide a... read more
