Daniel 11 Images and
Notes
Brief Summary: The angel Gabriel, in this chapter,
performs his promise made to Daniel in the foregoing chapter,
that he would "show him what should befal his people in the
latter days,'' according to that which was "written in the
scriptures of truth:'' very particularly does he here foretel
the succession of the kings of Persia and Grecia, and the
affairs of their kingdoms, especially the mischief which
Antiochus Epiphanes did in his time to the church, which was
foretold before ch. 8:11-12 ). Here is, I. A brief prediction of
the setting up of the Grecian monarchy upon the ruins of the
Persian monarchy, which was now newly begun (v. 1-4). II. A
prediction of the affairs of the two kingdoms of Egypt and
Syria, with reference to each other (v. 5-20). III. Of the rise
of Antiochus Epiphanes, and his actions and successes (v.
21-29). IV. Of the great mischief that he should do to the
Jewish nation and religion, and his contempt of all religion (v.
30-39). V. Of his fall and ruin at last, when he is in the heat
of his pursuit (v. 40-45).
