This chapter foretells, in most minute detail, the successive histories of Xerxes

of Persia; Alexander the Great, king of Macedon and conqueror of Persia; thefour-fold division of Alexander's kingdom at his death, and the consequent

conflicts between the kings of the north and the kings of the south, the

Seleucidae and the Ptolemies; and, lastly, the proud violence of Antiochus

Epiphanes against the covenant-people of God, and his final doom. The

details are given with such minuteness beforehand, in order to strengthen andsupport the faithful ones among God's ancient people, in the fiery ordeal

through which they were about to pass, during the long period when they

were to be without any living prophets. If the world-powers were about to be

permitted to trample under foot the people of the covenant, the latter would

take comfort in knowing that their God had told them of it "in the Scripture

of truth" (Dan 10:21) long before: and had also engaged that, though the trial

under Antiochus, the Old Testament Antichrist, was be most severe, yet it was

to be of short duration, and he was to come to his end, and none should help

him (Dan 11:45).

1 And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I

stood up to confirm and strengthen him.

2 "And now I will show you the truth. Behold, three

more kings shall arise in Persia, and a fourth shall befar richer than all of them. And when he has become

strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the

kingdom of Greece. ESV

3 Then a mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great

dominion and do as he wills. 4 And as soon as he has arisen, his

kingdom shall be broken and divided toward the four winds of

heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to the authority

with which he ruled, for his kingdom shall be plucked up and go

to others besides these. ESV
