Commentary on Daniel 11:40

Theological / Devotional

Time of the end. Here the king of the north and the king of the south are mentioned as such for the first time since verses 14, 15. Seventh-day Adventist expositors who find the career of France during the Revolution the subject of verses 36-39 hold that Turkey is the king of the north of verses 40-45. Those who apply verses 36-39 to the papacy here find a prophetic picture of the climax of its career. Some of the latter group identify the papacy as the king of the north, while others distinguish between the two. A few consider that verses 40-45 met their fulfillment in the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in 1922. See on verse 45.
