This chapter foretells, in most minute detail, the successive histories of Xerxes
of Persia; Alexander the Great, king of Macedon and conqueror of Persia; thefour-fold division of Alexander's kingdom at his death, and the consequent
conflicts between the kings of the north and the kings of the south, the
Seleucidae and the Ptolemies; and, lastly, the proud violence of Antiochus
Epiphanes against the covenant-people of God, and his final doom. The
details are given with such minuteness beforehand, in order to strengthen andsupport the faithful ones among God's ancient people, in the fiery ordeal
through which they were about to pass, during the long period when they
were to be without any living prophets. If the world-powers were about to be
permitted to trample under foot the people of the covenant, the latter would
take comfort in knowing that their God had told them of it "in the Scripture
of truth" (Dan 10:21) long before: and had also engaged that, though the trial
under Antiochus, the Old Testament Antichrist, was be most severe, yet it was
to be of short duration, and he was to come to his end, and none should help
him (Dan 11:45).

kingdom of Greece. ESV

3 Then a mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great
dominion and do as he wills. 4 And as soon as he has arisen, his
kingdom shall be broken and divided toward the four winds of
heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to the authority
with which he ruled, for his kingdom shall be plucked up and go
to others besides these. ESV
