Bible Question: Daniel 11:14 says violent men of your people wiill try to gain independence from Egypt, but will fail. It says they will exalt themselves in fulfillment of the vision, but they will fail. Can anyone shed some light on who this group of violent ment was and what it meant when they said they will exalt themselves in fulfillment of the vision. What vision? Thanks, Chusarcik |
Bible Answer: Chusarcik, Do you have a bible with good footnotes? If not the investment would be worthwhile and would probably answer many of your questions. Here is the footnote from the New American Bible on Daniel 11:5-45. "[5-45] These verses describe the dynastic histories of the Ptolemies in Egypt (the king of the south) and the Seleucids in Syria (the king of the north), the two divisions of the Hellenistic empire that were of interest to the author (Daniel 11:6). In Daniel 11:10-20 is described the struggle between the two kingdoms for the control of Palestine, in which the Seleucids were eventually victorious. The reference in Daniel 11:20 is to Seleucus IV, who sent Heliodorus to plunder the temple treasure in Jerusalem (2 Macc 3). Finally, Daniel 11:21-45 describe the career of Antiochus IV and his persecution, in details that have been seen above." Emmaus |
