Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Daniel 11:40

_ _ The difficulty of reconciling this with Antiochus’ history is that no historian but Porphyry mentions an expedition of his into Egypt towards the close of his reign. This Daniel 11:40, therefore, may be a recapitulation summing up the facts of the first expedition to Egypt (171-170 b.c.), in Daniel 11:22, Daniel 11:25; and Daniel 11:41, the former invasion of Judea, in Daniel 11:28; Daniel 11:42, Daniel 11:43, the second and third invasions of Egypt (169 and 168 b.c.) in Daniel 11:23, Daniel 11:24, Daniel 11:29, Daniel 11:30. Auberlen takes rather Porphyry’s statement, that Antiochus, in the eleventh year of his reign (166-165 b.c.), invaded Egypt again, and took Palestine on his way. The “tidings” (Daniel 11:44) as to the revolt of tributary nations then led him to the East. Porphyry’s statement that Antiochus starting from Egypt took Arad in Judah, and devastated all Phoenicia, agrees with Daniel 11:45; then he turned to check Artaxias, king of Armenia. He died in the Persian town Tabes, 164 b.c., as both Polybius and Porphyry agree. Doubtless, antitypically, the final Antichrist, and its predecessor Mohammed, are intended, to whom the language may be more fully applicable than to Antiochus the type. The Saracen Arabs “of the south” “pushed at” the Greek emperor Heraclius, and deprived him of Egypt and Syria. But the Turks of “the north” not merely pushed at, but destroyed the Greek empire; therefore more is said of them than of the Saracens. Their “horsemen” are specified, being their chief strength. Their standards still are horse tails. Their “ships,” too, often gained the victory over Venice, the great naval power of Europe in that day. They “overflowed” Western Asia, and then “passed over” into Europe, fixing their seat of empire at Constantinople under Mohammed II [Newton].
