Commentary

Commentary on Daniel 11:22

Theological / Devotional

Arms of a flood. “Arms” denotes power, and here, particularly, military power (see verses 6, 15). The picture is evidently that of floodlike armies of soldiers (see Daniel 9:26). Tiberius was eminently successful in leading several military campaigns, both in Germany and in the East on the frontiers of Armenia and Parthia.

Prince of the covenant. Identical with the Prince who confirms the covenant in Daniel 9:25-27 (see Daniel 8:11). That this was the Messiah, Jesus Christ, is clear from the prophecy of chapter 9. It was when Tiberius reigned (A.D. 14-37), and upon the order of his procurator of Judea, Pontius Pilate, that Jesus was crucified, in the year A.D. 31.
