The reference for point 7. should be (Dan 12:1) not (Ge 12:1)
7. In this king’s time there would be trouble worse than ever before (Da 12:1).

Section 2: VERSES 36-45 — PROPHETICAL 

In the earlier part of the commentary on this chapter it has been shown that up to and including Da 11:35 there has been a wide ranging description of prophetic events from the early days of the Medo-Persian Empire, following on with the Grecian Empire, and up to the commencement of the Roman Empire. It has also been shown that all of the events referred to were prophetic at the time of writing, but are now enshrined in history. The following points should be taken into account in considering the case for there being a long gap between Da 11:35,36. 

1. In Da 11:35 the promised history of the Persian and Grecian Empires suddenly ends. 

2. The parenthesis covers the period from Da 11:35 until the man of sin appears. 

3. The remarkable likeness of the king, (Da 11:36) to the man of sin. (2Th 2$) 

4. The king of Da 11:36 is distinguished from the kings of the north and south. (Da 11:40) 

5. This king will be a Jew, (see Da 11:37) Antiochus was a Gentile. 

6. There is no correspondence in history to a period of such a character or events. 

7. In this king’s time there would be trouble worse than ever before (Ge 12:1).
