Sep 3, 2013 · Zebulun means “dwelling,” and he will dwell toward the sea. Issachar means “wages”; the prophecy concerning him has to do with his labor. Dan means “judge”; he will judge his people. Gad sounds like a Hebrew word for troop, or raiders. Four of the six Hebrew words of verse 19 are puns on his name.

The introduction to the prophecy of Daniel 11 is given in the preceding chapter. This introduction is quite extensive—all of Daniel 10. It begins: “In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar. The message was true, but the appointed time was long; and he understood the message, and ...
The years Daniel mentions put this prophecy around 535 B.C. This was the third year of Cyrus (Daniel 10:1) and was after the event the angel mentioned to Daniel that happened in the first year of Darius (Daniel 11:1; around 539 B.C.). We believe the biblical account is true, but some question the dating. But foretelling the future is not difficult ...
Since other prophecies found in the book of Daniel, such as the 70-year prophecy of Jeremiah and the 70-weeks prophecy (indicating the year of the appearance of the Messiah), were fulfilled exactly as predicted, we can have confidence that God also provided the details found in this prophecy in Daniel 11 long before they took place. For further stu...
The prophecy of Daniel 11 begins with the prediction that “three more kings will arise in Persia” followed by a fourth who would “stir up all against the realm of Greece” (verse 2). Biblical resources, such as The Expositor’s Bible Commentary, provide the historical explanations for this prophecy. Regarding this verse, Expositor’s states, “The Pers...
Following Alexander’s death, his empire was divided among four of his generals. These four kingdoms and their rulers were Macedonia-Greece under Antipater and his son, Thrace–Asia Minor under Lysimachus, the rest of Asia except lower Syria and Palestine under Seleucus Nicator, and Egypt and Palestine under Ptolemy. The remainder of Daniel 11:5-39 t...
So in Daniel 11, the king of the North refers to the successors to Seleucus ruling north of the Holy Land. As we will see, the Seleucid kingdom was later defeated by the Roman Empire, and it seems the end-time fulfillment of the king of the North will be a revival of the Roman Empire. See our article “The King of the North” for more on this.
In Daniel 11 the king of the South refers to the successors to Ptolemy who ruled from Egypt, south of the Holy Land. As our article “The King of the South” shows, the end-time king of the South may represent the leader of a confederacy of Arab nations or a powerful Arab nation. As it was historically, Egypt will likely be involved (Daniel 11:42). B...
Located geographically between ambitious kingdoms to the north and south, the Jewish people during postexilic times were often caught in the rivalries for power between Egypt and Syria. While space does not permit a detailed explanation of every verse in Daniel 11:5-39 and its historical fulfillment, here are a few highlights: Verse 5: Expositor’s ...
Verses 21-34: These verses document the tyrannical oppression of the Jewish people by Antiochus Epiphanes, who by force tried to make the Jewish people forgo their religion in favor of all things Greek. This was the time of the Maccabees, who resisted this Hellenistic influence. “In Antiochus Epiphanes they saw the worst tyrant of history” (Bo Reic...
Verses 35-39: The reference to “the time of the end” in verse 35 offers a challenge in interpretation. Some understand this as referring to the time just before Christ’s return, and others see it as the end of the Maccabean struggles. Some of the actions can be attributed to Antiochus Epiphanes, and some seem to be prophecies of the beast power tha...
A. Definition. Examination of the activities and writings of the prophets clarifies the OT prophetic task. The OT prophet acted as a mouthpiece for God, receiving a message from Him and proclaiming it in accordance with His commands. Since there is one God, a true prophet must necessarily be a prophet of this God.
