Daniel 11:7Daniel 11:7

• Dan 11:7 But out of a branch of her Dan 11:7 But out of a branch of her roots shall roots shall oneone stand up in his estate, stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail: against them, and shall prevail:


• The branch out of the same root with Berenice was her brother, Ptolemy Euergetes. He had no sooner succeeded his father Ptolemy Philadelphus in the kingdom of Egypt, than, burning to avenge the death of his sister Berenice, he raised an immense army and invaded the territory of the king of the north, Seleucus Callinicus, who with his mother Laodice reigned in Syria.


• Dan 11:8 And shall also carry captives Dan 11:8 And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, into Egypt their gods, with their princes, andand with their precious vessels of silver with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue and of gold; and he shall continue moremore years than the king of the north. years than the king of the north.

• Dan 11:9 So the king of the south shall Dan 11:9 So the king of the south shall come into come into hishis kingdom, and shall return kingdom, and shall return into his own land. into his own land.


•He prevailed against them, even to the conquering of Syria, Cilicia, the upper parts beyond the Euphrates, and eastward to Babylon. But hearing that a sedition was raised in Egypt requiring his return home, he plundered the kingdom of Seleucus by taking forty thousand talents of silver and precious vessels and two thousand five hundred images of gods.


• Dan 11:10 But his sons shall be Dan 11:10 But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and multitude of great forces: and oneone shall certainly come, and overflow, shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, return, and be stirred up, eveneven to his to his fortress.fortress.


• The first part of this verse speaks of sons, in the plural; the last part, of one, in the singular. The sons of Seleucus Callinicus were Seleucus Ceraunus and Antiochus Magnus. These both entered with zeal upon the work of vindicating and avenging the cause of their father and their country. The elder of these, Seleucus, first took the throne. He assembled a great multitude to recover his father's dominions; but was poisoned by his generals after a short, inglorious reign. His more capable brother, Antiochus Magnus, was thereupon proclaimed king. He took charge of the army, recovered Seleucia and Syria, and made himself master of some places by treaty and of others by force of arms.


• Dan 11:11 And the king of the south Dan 11:11 And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, come forth and fight with him, eveneven with the king of the north: and he with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his the multitude shall be given into his hand.hand.


• Ptolemy Philopator succeeded his father Euergetes in the kingdom of Egypt, being advanced to the crown not long after Antiochus Magnus had succeeded his brother in the government of Syria.

• He marshaled a large army to check the progress of the Syrian king, but the king of the north was also "to set forth a great multitude." The army of Antiochus, according to Polybius, amounted to 62,000 footmen, 6,000 horsemen, and 102 elephants. In this conflict, the Battle of Raphia, Antiochus was defeated, with nearly 14,000 soldiers slain and 4,000 taken prisoner, and his army was given into the hands of the king of the south a fulfillment of prophecy.


• Dan 11:12 Dan 11:12 AndAnd when he hath taken when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down be lifted up; and he shall cast down manymany ten thousands: but he shall not ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened be strengthened by itby it..


• Having conquered his enemies, he was overcome by his vices, and forgetful of the great name which he might have established, he spent his time in feasting and sensuality.

• But the lifting up of his heart was especially made manifest in his transactions with the Jews. Coming to Jerusalem, he offered sacrifices, and was desirous of entering into the most holy place of the temple contrary to the law and religion of the Jews. But being restrained with great difficulty, he left the place, burning with anger against the whole nation of the Jews, and immediately began against them a relentless persecution.


• In Alexandria, where Jews had resided since the days of Alexander, enjoying the privileges of the most favored citizens, forty thousand according to Eusebius, sixty thousand according to Jerome, were slain. The rebellion of the Egyptians and the massacre of the Jews certainly were not calculated to strengthen Ptolemy in his kingdom, but were sufficient rather to ruin it almost totally.


• Dan 11:13 For the king of the north Dan 11:13 For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with years with a great army and with much riches. much riches.


• The peace concluded between Ptolemy Philopator and Antiochus Magnus lasted fourteen years. Meanwhile Ptolemy died from intemperance and debauchery, and was succeeded by his son Ptolemy Epiphanes, then five years old. Antiochus was in a position for any enterprise when young Epiphanes came to the throne of Egypt. Thinking this too good an opportunity for enlarging his dominion to let slip, he raised an immense army, "greater than the former," and set out against Egypt, expecting to have an easy victory over the infant king.


• Dan 11:14 And in those times there Dan 11:14 And in those times there shall many stand up against the king shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall establish the vision; but they shall fall.fall.


•Antiochus Magnus was not the only one who rose up against the infant Ptolemy as Egypt itself was disturbed by seditions.

•At the same time, Philip of Macedon entered into a league with Antiochus to divide the dominions of Ptolemy between them.


• A new power is now introduced "the robbers of thy people;" literally, says Thomas Newton, "the sons of the breakers . . . of thy people.“ - Rome.

• The Romans interfered in behalf of the young king of Egypt, determined that he should be protected from the ruin devised by Antiochus and Philip. This was 200 BC, and was one of the first important interferences of the Romans in the affairs of Syria and Egypt


• "To establish the vision." The Romans more than any other people are the subject of Daniel's prophecy. Their first interference in the affairs of these kingdoms is here referred to as being the establishment, or demonstration, of the truth of the vision which predicted the existence of such a power.


• Dan 11:15 So the king of the north Dan 11:15 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, withstand, neither his chosen people, neither neither shall there be anyshall there be any strength to strength to withstand.withstand.


•Near the sources of the Jordan, the two armies met. Scopas was defeated, pursued to Sidon, and there closely besieged. Three of the ablest generals of Egypt, with their best forces, were sent to raise the siege, but without success.

•Scopus surrenders in humiliation.


• Dan 11:16 But he that cometh Dan 11:16 But he that cometh against him shall do according to his against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumedbe consumed


• Rome Conquers Syria and Palestine. Although Egypt had not been able to stand before Antiochus Magnus, the king of the north, Antiochus Asiaticus could not stand before the Romans, who came against him. no kingdoms could resist this rising power. Syria was conquered, and added to the Roman Empire, when Pompey in 65 BC deprived Antiochus Asiaticus of his possessions and reduced Syria to a Roman province.

• Rome now becomes the King of the North


•The same power was also to stand in the Holy Land, and consume it. The Romans became connected with the people of God, the Jews, by alliance in 161 BC From this date Rome held a prominent place in the prophetic calendar. It did not, however, acquire jurisdiction over Judea by actual conquest until 63 BC


•After putting an end to the war, Pompey demolished the walls of Jerusalem, transferred several cities from the jurisdiction of Judea to that of Syria, and imposed tribute on the Jews. For the first time Jerusalem was by conquest placed in the hands of Rome, that power which was to hold the "glorious land“ in its iron grasp till it had utterly consumed it.


• Dan 11:17 He shall also set his face Dan 11:17 He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand not stand on his sideon his side, neither be for , neither be for him. him.


• Ptolemy Auletes died in 51. BC He left the crown and kingdom of Egypt to his eldest surviving daughter, Cleopatra, and his elder son, Ptolemy XII, a lad of nine or ten years. It was provided in his will that they should marry each other and reign jointly. Because they were young, they were placed under the guardianship of the Romans. the Roman people accepted the charge, and appointed Pompey as guardian of the young heirs of Egypt


• Soon a quarrel broke out between Pompey and Julius Caesar, which reached its climax in the famous battle of Pharsalus. Pompey, being defeated, fled into Egypt. Caesar immediately followed him thither; but before his arrival Pompey was basely murdered at the instigation of Ptolemy. Caesar now assumed the guardianship of Ptolemy and Cleopatra. He found Egypt in commotion from internal disturbances, for Ptolemy and Cleopatra had become hostile to each other, since she had been deprived of her share in the government.


• Julius Caesar decreed that Ptolemy and Cleopatra should disband their armies, appear before him for a settlement of their differences, and abide by his decision. Since Egypt was an independent kingdom, this haughty decree was considered an affront to its royal dignity, and the Egyptians, highly incensed, took up arms. Caesar replied that he acted by the authority of the will of their father, Ptolemy Auletes, who had put his children under the guardianship of the senate and people of Rome.


• Caesar at length decreed that the brother and the sister should occupy the throne jointly, according to the intent of the will. Pothinus, the chief minister of state, principally instrumental in expelling Cleopatra from the throne, feared the result of her restoration. He therefore began to excite jealousy and hostility against Caesar by insinuating among the populace that he designed eventually to give Cleopatra the sole power. Open sedition soon followed.

• The Egyptians undertook to destroy the Roman fleet. Caesar retorted by burning theirs.


• Antipater the Idumean joined him with 3,000 Jews. The Jews, who held the frontier gateways into Egypt, permitted the Roman army to pass without interruption. The arrival of this army of Jews under Antipater helped decide the contest.

• A decisive battle was fought near the Nile by the fleets of Egypt and Rome, resulting in a complete victory for Caesar. Ptolemy, attempting to escape, was drowned in the river. Alexandria and all Egypt then submitted to the victor. Rome had now entered into and absorbed the entire original kingdom of Alexander.


• By the "upright ones" of the text are doubtless meant the Jews, who gave Caesar the assistance already mentioned. Without this, he must have failed; with it, he completely subdued Egypt in 47 BC "The daughter of women, corrupting her" was Cleopatra, who had been Caesar's mistress and the mother of his son.

• "But," said the the prophet, "she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him." Cleopatra afterward joined herself to Antony, the enemy of Augustus Caesar, and exerted her whole power against Rome.


• Dan 11:18 After this shall he turn his Dan 11:18 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause reproach he shall cause itit to turn to turn upon him.upon him.
