Neither . . . regard . . . the desire of women—(Compare Ezekiel 24:16, Ezekiel 24:18). The wife, as the desire of man's eyes, is the symbol of the tenderest relations (II Samuel 1:26). Antiochus would set at naught even their entreaties that he should cease from his attack on Jehovah's worship [POLANUS]. MAURER refers it to Antiochus' attack on the temple of the Syrian Venus, worshipped by women (1 Maccabees 6:1, etc.; 2 Maccabees 1:13). NEWTON refers it to Rome's "forbidding to marry." ELLIOTT rightly makes the antitypical reference be to Messiah. Jewish women desired to be mothers with a view to Him, the promised seed of the woman (Genesis 30:23; Luke 1:25, Luke 1:28).
nor regard any god— (II Thessalonians 2:4).
