Daniel 11:21 - Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes

Bible Comments

a vile person. One of the twelve titles given to the antichrist. See note on Daniel 7:8. The prophecy concerning him is continuous to the end of the chapter. It is parallel with Daniel 7:8, &c.; Daniel 8:9, &c.; and Daniel 9:26; Daniel 9:27. He is not another successional king of the north, but. totally different and unique personage, still future. He comes in by "flatteries", and in Daniel 11:40 he is attacked by both. "king of the south" and. "king of the north". Note the parallel exhibited in App-89.

vile. despicable. Compare Psalms 15:4.

they shall not give. to whom was not given.

honour. dignity.

peaceably. unexpectedly: i.e. in. time of careless security (Compare Daniel 8:25). Compare Ezekiel 16:49 ("abundance of idleness").

Daniel 11:21

21 And in his estatef shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
