Daniel chapter 11 Questions and Answers

Daniel11:30 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return and have indignation against the holy covenant: … The name denotes Cyprus. (Gensenius - "in a wider acceptation, the name came comprehend the islands and coasts of the Mediterranean.") Rome in its victory over Macedonia had hired the ships of Chittim to transport its army to Egypt to confront Antiochus. At this point, Rome enters as the leading power. The context carries a further fulfilment first with Rome and continues to the time of the end.

Daniel11:31 And arms shall stand on his 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. 8251 "shiqquivts" disgusting, espec. idolatrous. This desolating abomination was first the work of Antiochus Epiphanes who erected an altar to Zeus upon the altar of burnt-offering and offered swine flesh.

Daniel chapter 11 Questions and Answers

33. Re: Dan. 11:36 -- Who is the king? Daniel 11:36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. Antiochus Epiphanes but here he has almost faded and it is the Papal "little horn" of Dan. 7:20,25;8:23 that is mainly seen.

34. What is meant that in v.37 "he will not regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women"? (Daniel11:37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.) Antiochus has completely faded and it is the Papal "little horn“ of Daniel 7 who worships not the pagan gods and whose priests do not marry.

35. What is the “god of forces” in verse 38? Daniel11:38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. This describes the worship of "saints" who are thought to be the guardians forces of every aspect of life.

36. What does it mean to “divide the land for gain” in verse 39? Daniel11:39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. Each priest and bishop has his territory, diocese and from these money is poured into headquarters. It is through these "eyes" (Dan. 7:8) that this system sees to maintain its influence.

37. Re: Dan. 11:40 -- What time is the "time of the end?" Daniel 11:40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. It is the same time in Daniel 12:4. But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

38. Re: Dan. 11:40 -- Who is the "King of the South"? This still isn’t obvious today unless the “time of the end” includes WW1 when Britain as the King of the South dried up the Turkish empire. Part of the difficulty is WW1 may be a partial fulfilment and there is yet a full fulfilment yet to develop. The “time of the end” in Dan.11:40 is defined when knowledge would be increased and people will run to and fro. Daniel 11:40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: … Daniel12:4 … seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. The partial fulfilment may have been Great Britain who pushed at Turkey in WW1. The full fulfilment may be the "cruel lord and fierce king" that shall rule over Egypt (Isa.19:4) who will push the king of the North. Isaiah 19:4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.

39. Re: Dan. 11:40 -- Who is the "King of the North"? Russia, who will control Turkey completely drying up the Euphrates, Rev.16:12. This is yet to happen. REV 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. EZE 38:4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothe with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: The "turning back" is after Russia has taken over Egypt which is still future at Armageddon.

40. Re: Dan. 11:40 -- Who is the "him" that both the "king of the North" and the "king of the South" "push" and come "against"? Daniel11:40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him (king of the North): and the king of the north shall come against him (king of the South) … This interpretation has yet to develop. Alternative interpretation = Ottoman Empire for 1st “him” and Turkey for 2nd “him”. This is thought a partial fulfilment for Rev.16:12 says Turkey is completely dried up. 40b. Dan. 11:40 -- Who in future is "the King of the South? Because of Ezekiel 38:13 it is thought to be Britain and the young lions (British Commonwealth) and Arabia, Eze.38:13. Eze.38:13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? Because of Isaiah 19 it is thought the “cruel lord” of Egypt will in some major way infuriate "Gog" who with Europe without Britain will come against the King of the South as a whirlwind.

41. Re: Dan. 11:41 -- Why does Jordan escape? Daniel11:41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. The Goggian confederacy comes with many ships, plus in mentioning Israel (“glorious land”) shows that the Goggian army comes right down the Mediterranean Coast and therefore misses Jordan, (Edom and Moab).

42. Re: Dan 11:43 -- Why does it mention that the Libyans and Ethiopians will support him and Persians are not mentioned? Daniel11:43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. (Eze. 38:5) It is felt Libya and Ethiopia previously are allied to the king of the North. This has yet to happen.

43. What are the "tidings out of the East and North"? Daniel11:44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. 45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. At this point God is in Egypt and Christ with the saints are “east” and “north” of Egypt, (Deu.33:2,3). 44. Where does he plant his tabernacles? In Jerusalem. The Goggian confederacy takes Jerusalem (Zech. 14:1,2; 13:8) and 2/3 of Israel is destroyed. 45. What is his end? The Goggian Confederacy will be destroyed upon the mountains of Israel. (Eze. 38:22 through chapter 39:16)
