Daniel 11:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Daniel 11:13

11 “And the king of the South shall be ^amoved with rage, and go out and fight with him, with the king of the North, who shall muster a great multitude; but the ^bmultitude shall be given into the hand of his enemy.

12 When he has taken away the multitude, his heart will be¹ lifted up; and he will cast down tens of thousands, but he will not prevail.

13 For the king of the North will return and muster a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come at the end of some years with a great army and much equipment.

14 “Now in those times many shall rise up against the king of the South. Also,¹ violent men of your people shall exalt themselves² in fulfillment of the vision, but they shall ^afall.

15 So the king of the North shall come and ^abuild a siege mound, and take a fortified city; and the¹ forces of the South shall not withstand him. Even his choice troops shall have no strength to resist.

16 But he who comes against him ^ashall do according to his own will, and ^bno one shall stand against him. He shall stand in the Glorious Land with destruction in his¹ power.

17 “He shall also ^aset his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and¹ upright ones with him; thus shall he do. And he shall give him the daughter of women to destroy it; but she shall not stand with him, ^bor be for him.

18 After this he shall turn his face to the coastlands, and shall take many. But a ruler shall bring the reproach against them to an end; and with the reproach removed, he shall turn back on him.

19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fortress of his own land; but he shall ^astumble and fall, ^band not be found.

20 “There shall arise in his place one who imposes taxes on the glorious kingdom; but within a few days he shall be destroyed, but not in anger or in battle.

21 And in his place ^ashall arise a vile person, to whom they will not give the honor of royalty; but he shall come in peaceably, and seize the kingdom by intrigue.
