From the International Inductive Study Bible, p. 1432. After the foundational visions in Daniel 2 and 7, we’ve been getting increasing detail as we move along. Chapters 11 and 12 continue that trend. Notice also how most of these visions end up in the very last days, the period just before and including Christ’s return. That’s the connection with the Book of Revelation. From the International Inductive Study Bible, p. 1432.
