• Up to verse 35 we have, in prophetic form, a relation of what, though future in Daniel’s day, has now long since been accomplished; from verse 36 we have the account of what is entirely future. The proof of this, it may be at once said, lies in two sentences. In verse 36 we read that the king “shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished”; and in verse 40 we are told that the event there given is “at the time of the end.” It has already been observed, as to the former expression, that it is used in Isaiah of God’s last indignation, by means of the Assyrian, against His people in the land before the appearing of Christ. If the reader attentively considers Isaiah 10:20-25; 28:16-22, he cannot fail to be convinced of the truth of this interpretation. (“Daniel 11” by E. Dennett)

• Another thing will appear as we proceed, namely, the correspondence of the king here described with the “man of sin,” or the antichrist of the New Testament. (“Daniel 11” by E. Dennett)

• The appellation of the “willful king” is derived from this scripture, expressive of the fact here stated, that his own will is his only law. He will be the incarnation and manifestation of all that is evil in man....He will be consequently the perfect contrast, morally, to Christ, who, being in the form of God, did not think it robbery to be equal with God, but emptied Himself, and having taken upon Him the form of a servant, humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. (“Daniel 11” by E. Dennett)

• When the indignation is accomplished in His chastisement of the guilty nation for the rejection of Christ, at the end of the three years and a half so often spoken of in the Apocalypse, the Lord will appear from heaven and consume this wicked one with the spirit of His mouth, and destroy him with the brightness of His coming. (2 Thess. 2:8; Rev. 19:20). (“Daniel 11” by E. Dennett)

• The apostle John presents him to us in his relation to Christianity, when he writes, “He is the Antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son” (1 John 2:22). (“Daniel 11” by E. Dennett)

J. N. Darby Translation

And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every *god, and speak monstrous things against the *God of *godse; and he shall prosper until the indignation be accomplished: for that which is determined shall be done.
