Daniel 11:1 (Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede (CYRUS), even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.)
THIS VERSE IS PARENTHETICAL, TO TELL US WHAT THE ANGELIC SPEAKER HAD DONE TWO YEARS PREVIOUSLY (426 B.C.).
PART OF CHAPTER 11 IS HISTORY.
11:2 And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
CAMBYSES, THE PSEUDO-SMERDIS, AND DARIUS HYSTAPES. WE KNOW FROM THIS VERSE THAT THERE WERE THREE, AFTER CYRUS, AND A FOURTH. WHOEVER HE WAS, HE WAS SUCCEEDED BY THE "MIGHTY KING" OF VERSE 4 (ALEXANDER THE GREAT).
THIS FOURTH KING WILL STIR UP ALL AGAINST THE REALM OF GRECIA BY STRENGTHENING HIMSELF IN HIS RICHES.
11:3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
THE MIGHTY KING OF THE FUTURE IS "LITTLE HORN"=SATAN.
11:4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven (THE FOUR WINDS HOLD THE VERY END OF THIS EARTH AGE; REV. 7); and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those (BESIDE THOSE FOUR).
FOUR CONTEMPORARY KINGS.
THERE IS A BREAK BETWEEN THE PAST AND THE FUTURE, WHICH IS FROM 10:14, OF WHICH THIS CHAPTER IS THE CONTINUATION.
11:5 And the king of the south (EGYPT) shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.
KING OF THE SOUTH=EGYPT WITH REFERENCE TO JUDEA.
IN 1948, ISRAEL BECAME A NATION FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE CHRIST WALKED THE EARTH. IT WAS BROUGHT TO CONCLUSION IN 70 A.D., BY A ROMAN GENERAL NAMED TITUS.
11:6 And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north (BABYLON) to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand (THE KING OF THE NORTH), nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.
THIS IS ALL HISTORY, FUTURE TO DANIEL.
KING OF THE NORTH= BABYLON=PERSIAN GULF.
HUSSEIN ORDERED THE CITY OF BABYLON REBUILT (HISTORY).
SADAT OF EGYPT WAS FRIENDS WITH THE EMPEROR OF IRAN (KING OF THE NORTH).
IN ANCIENT HISTORY IT WAS PTOLEMY. BERENICE, WAS THE DAUGHTER OF PTOLEMY II (PHILADELPHUS) OF EGYPT.
THE KING OF THE NORTH WAS ANTIOCHUS, NORTH WITH REFERENCE TO JUDEA.
THEY MADE AN AGREEMENT TO COME TO TERMS UPON WHAT IS EQUITABLE BETWEEN THE PARTIES. HERE IT CONCLUDED HER MARRIAGE WITH ANTIOCHUS, WHO DIVORCED HIS WIFE (LAODICE) AND DISINHERITED HER SON (SELEUCUS CALLINICUS).
11:7 But out of a branch of her roots (SAME RELIGIOUS BELIEFS) shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north (IRAN), and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:
IN ANCIENT HISTORY, BERENICE'S BROTHER PTOLEMY III (EUERGETES),"ROOTS" REFERRING TO THEIR FATHER PTOLEMYY II (PHILADELPHUS).
IN HIS ESTATE= IN THE STEAD OF PHILADELPHUS, WHO ADVENGED THE MURDER OF BERENICE AND HER SON BY LAODICE. EURGETES HAD BEEN RESTORED.
IN RECENT HISTORY, IT WAS CHOMEINI WHO WENT AGAINST THE SHAW.
11:8 And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years(FOUR YEARS, REIGNING 46 YEARS IN ALL) than the king of the north (THE SHAW).
THE SHAW OF IRAN WENT TO EGYPT WITH MUCH TREASURES AFTER HE WAS EXPELLED. HE DIED SOON AFTER THIS WITH CANCER. THAT'S WHY THE KING OF THE SOUTH CONTINUED MORE YEARS.
NOTE: EGYPT HAD MORE TROOPS ALIGN WITH IRAQ THAN ANY OTHER NATION, FIGHTNING AGAINST CHOMEINI.
IN ANCIENT HISTORY, THE PRECIOUS VESSELS, THE VESSELS OF DESIRE, SAID TO HAVE BEEN VALUED AT 40,000 TALENTS OF SILVER; AND 2,400 IMAGES, INCLUDING EGYPTIAN IDOLS, WHICH CAMBYSES HAD TAKEN FROM EGYPT. HENCE HE WAS NAMED BY THE GRATEFUL EGYPTIAN "EUERGETES" (BENEFACTOR).
11:9 So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.
11:10 But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.
IN ANCIENT HISTORY, SELEUCUS II (CALLINICUS) AND HIS BROTHER ANTIOCHUS III. ANTIOCHUS III, THE SECOND KING OF THE NORTH, HIS BROTHER HAVING DIED BY A FALL FROM HIS HORSE.
ONE SHALL COME AGAINST HIM AND DEFEAT ANTIOCHUS III.
IN RECENT HISTORY, SADAT CALLED HIS MILITARY HIS SONS. HE DIED AT THE HANDS OF HIS SO-CALLED SONS.
11:11 And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.
THEY DID NOT SUCCEED.
IN ANCIENT HISTORY, ANTIOCHUS III (KING OF THE NORTH), DELIVERED INTO PTOLEMY'S HAND (PTOLEMY III, THE KING OF THE SOUTH).
IN RECENT HISTORY, IT WAS THE 8 YEAR WAR (IRAN-IRAQ).
11:12 And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.
IN ANCIENT HISTORY, THIS OCCURRED AT RAPHIA, SOUTHWEST OF GAZA.
IN RECENT HISTORY, THIS OCCURRED DURING THE IRAN-IRAQ 8 YEAR WAR.
11:13 For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.
IN ANCIENT HISTORY, THIS WAS 14 YEARS AFTER HIS DEFEAT AT RAPHIA.
IN RECENT HISTORY, CHOMEINI WENT IN THE SOUTH PART OF IRAQ AND PUT EVERYTHING THAT HE HAD INTO THE FORTFRONT, IN THE BORDER OF KUWAIT.
THEY WERE ONLY TYPES SO WE KNOW THE CHRONOLOGICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION. WHY? BECAUSE THIS WILL BE THE AREA THAT WE NEED TO WATCH FOR SIGNS OF THE END.
11:14 And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy People shalt exalt themselves to establish the vision (TO HELP TO FULFIL PROPHECY, BY TAKING THE SIDE OF SYRIA, SO AS TO MAKE JUDEA INDEPENDENT); but they shall fall (THE KENITES).
IN ANCIENT HISTORY, THE KING OF THE SOUTH IS PTOLEMY V (EPIPHANES), A MERE CHILD.
THE ROBBERS= THE APOSTATE JEWS=KENITES (SATAN'S OFFSPRING).
IN RECENT HISTORY, SADAT, KING OF THE SOUTH.
11:15 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.
IN ANCIENT HISTORY, IT'S ANTIOCHUS III (THE GREAT); AND VERSES 16-19 DESCRIBES HIS DOINGS, WHICH WERE A TYPICAL FORESHADOWING OF HIS ANITYPE, "THE LITTLE HORN", THE YET FUTURE ANTICHRIST, DESCRIBED IN 11:21-12:1; WHICH SHOW HOW THE LATTER PORTION CAN BE FULFILLED BY SATAN AS THE ANTICHRIST.
11:16 But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.
IN ANCIENT HISTORY, IT WAS PTOLEMY V.
WATCH THE PERSIAN GULF.
IN RECENT HISTORY IS CHOMEINI.
IN THE NEAR FUTURE, IT'S SATAN PLAYING THE ROLE OF ANTICHRIST (INSTEAST OF CHRIST IN THE GREEK).
11:17 He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him his daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.
IN ANCIENT HISTORY, CLEOPATRA (THE DAUGHTER OF PTOLEMY V) WAS FULL OF BEAUTY, AND THE WOMEN BEING HER MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER, WERE CARING FOR HER EDUCATION. SHE STOOD WITH HER HUSBAND AND DEFEATED HER FATHER'S PLANS.
IN RECENT HISTORY, CHOMEINI ENFORCED THE RELIGION OF ISLAM ON HIS PEOPLE.
11:18 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf (FOR HIS OWN INTEREST) shall cause the reproach offered by him (ANTIOCHUS III) to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.
IN ANCIENT HISTORY, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE ROMAN GENERAL SCIPIO.
IN RECENT HISTORY, CHOMEINI WAS A VERY SICK MAN. HIS HEALTH WAS FAILING.
11:19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.
IN ANCIENT HISTORY, ANTIOCHUS III, AFTER HIS DEFEAT BY SCIPIO AT MANGNESIA (NEAR SMYRNA, TURKEY), WITHDREW TO SYRIA.
IN RECENT HISTORY, CHOMEINI DIED.
11:20 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes (SADAM OF IRAQ) in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
IN ANCIENT HISTORY, IT WAS SELEUCUS CAUSING THE EXACTOR (HELIODORUS) TO PASS THROUGH JUDEA, THE GLORIOUS LAND. HE SENT HELIODORUS TO JERUSALEM TO PLUNDER THE TEMPLE.
IN RECENT HISTORY, IT WAS SADAM OF IRAQ.
HERE ENDS THE HISTORICAL PART PORTION, WHICH HAVE BEEN FULFILLED FOR US BUT WAS NOT FOR DANIEL. THE FOLLOWING VERSES IS STILL FUTURE.
GOD USES HISTORY TO LET US KNOW WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS.
PTOLEMY, ANTIOCHUS, SADAT, THE SHAW OF IRAN, SADAM, WERE ONLY TYPES.
GOD BLESS
