DANIEL CHAPTER 11
The overthrow of Persia by the king of Greeks, whose empire shall be divided, Dan_11:1-4. Leagues and conflicts between the kings of the south and of the north, Dan_11:5-20. The exploits of one of the latter princes, Dan_11:21-29; who, being checked in his progress by the ships of Chittim, shall turn his fury against the Holy Land, Dan_11:30-35. An impious tyranny set up, Dan_11:36-39. Events that shall take place in the latter times, Dan_11:40-45.
This first verse should have been the last verse of the tenth chapter, for it pertains to it; and the second verse of this chapter should have been the first; which neglect those who divided the Scripture into chapters have been found guilty of more than once.
Thus speaks the angel to Daniel; because Darius had the rule of Babylon by the consent of Cyrus, he settled the monarchy of the Medes and Persians upon the ruins of the Babylonian, for the verifying of prophecies, and for protection and preservation of the church.
