In the historical context of Daniel, this is often associated with the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes, who is known for his aggressive campaigns against the Jewish people. The Hebrew root for "forces" (זרע, zera) can also imply a seed or offspring, suggesting a powerful and influential group. This rising up indicates a deliberate and forceful action, symbolizing the oppressive nature of the ruler's intent to dominate and control.and desecrate the temple fortress The "temple fortress" refers to the holy sanctuary in Jerusalem, which was both a place of worship and a stronghold of Jewish faith and identity. The act of desecration implies a profound violation of what is sacred. Historically, Antiochus IV desecrated the Second Temple by erecting an altar to Zeus and sacrificing unclean animals, which was an abomination to the Jewish people. The Hebrew word for "desecrate" (חלל, chalal) means to profane or defile, highlighting the sacrilegious nature of the act. This serves as a powerful reminder of the spiritual warfare against God's people and the importance of maintaining holiness.They will abolish the daily sacrifice The "daily sacrifice" was a central aspect of Jewish worship, involving regular offerings made to God as prescribed in the Torah. The abolition of these sacrifices represents a direct attack on the religious practices and covenant relationship between God and His people. The Hebrew term for "abolish" (שבת, shabat) means to cease or put an end to, indicating a forceful interruption of worship. This historical event foreshadows future attempts to suppress true worship and serves as a call for believers to remain steadfast in their devotion to God.and set up the abomination of desolation The "abomination of desolation" is a phrase that has sparked much theological discussion and is often seen as a prophetic symbol of ultimate desecration and idolatry. The Hebrew word for "abomination" (שקוץ, shiquts) refers to something detestable or loathsome, often associated with idolatrous practices. The "desolation" (שׁמם, shamem) implies utter devastation or ruin. Historically, this was fulfilled when Antiochus IV set up a pagan altar in the Jewish temple. In a broader prophetic sense, it points to future events of great tribulation and the rise of antichrist figures. This serves as a warning to remain vigilant and faithful, trusting in God's ultimate victory over evil.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/daniel/11.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(31) Arms.--A further statement of the assistance which the king obtains in his attacks upon all sacred institutions. The word "arms," as in <a href="/daniel/11-5.htm" title="And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.">Daniel 11:5</a>, means "assistance," especially military assistance, or some other aid, with which is contrasted in the next verse the help given by the apostates.The sanctuary of strength.--In the Hebrew (see Theodotion) there are two nouns in apposition. Apparently the two words are a name for the Temple, which is so called because it was the spiritual support of God's people, as well as a very powerful fortress. (See <a href="/isaiah/25-4.htm" title="For you have been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.">Isaiah 25:4</a>, &c.; <a href="/context/psalms/31-2.htm" title="Bow down your ear to me; deliver me speedily: be you my strong rock, for an house of defense to save me.">Psalm 31:2-4</a>; and compare <a href="//apocrypha.org/1_maccabees/1-44.htm" title="For the king had sent letters by messengers unto Jerusalem and the cities of Juda that they should follow the strange laws of the land,">1 Maccabees 1:44</a>; <a href="//apocrypha.org/1_maccabees/6-7.htm" title="Also that they had pulled down the abomination, which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls, as before, and his city Bethsura.">1 Maccabees 6:7</a>; <a href="//apocrypha.org/2_maccabees/6-4.htm" title="For the temple was filled with riot and revelling by the Gentiles, who dallied with harlots, and had to do with women within the circuit of the holy places, and besides that brought in things that were not lawful.">2 Maccabees 6:4</a>, which speak of the various deeds of Antiochus upon this occasion.) On the daily sacrifice, and on the abomination of desolation, see the Notes on <a href="/daniel/8-13.htm" title="Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said to that certain saint which spoke, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?">Daniel 8:13</a>. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/daniel/11.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 31. - And arms shall stand on hie part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. The render* ing of the LXX. is close to the above, "And arms shall stand by him, and shall pollute the sanctuary of fear " - probably the LXX. read מָגור (magor), "fear," instead of מעוז (ma'oz), "fortress," a change probably due to the fact that ע sounded in Greek ears like וּ hard, Γάζα for עָזָה - and they shall take away the sacrifice and place (δώσουσι give) the abomination of desolation." Theodotion, from a mistaken vocalization, renders, "And seeds " - reading זְרָעִים instead of זְרֹעִים - "shall spring up from him and shall pollute the sanctuary of power, and shall change the continual (sacrifice), and shall place (δώσουσι) the abomination of things that have disappeared (ἠφανισμένων)." The Peshitta is quite different in the firs; clause, "And their strong ones shall arise from them, and they pollute the sanctuary of strength, and they cause the sacrifice (qorban) to pass away, and they shall hang up the abomination in the temple." The Vulgate rendering is in accordance generally with the Massoretic, "And arms shall stand from him. and shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall remove the continual (juge) sacrifice, and shall place the abomination of desolation." Arms shall stand on his part. This word "arms" here is not to be understood as weapons - a misunderstanding possible in English. "Arms" here stands as the symbol of physical power generally. "On his part" is represented by the preposition מִן, which means "with" or "from;" hence we find the Septuagint translating by παρά, and Theodotion by ἐξ. Probably the most natural view is to take the preposition as equivalent to "by," that is, he shall set physical forces in motion. And they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength. That the temple in Jerusalem had all the characteristics that fitted it to become a fortress, was proved in every one of the numerous sieges it has endured. It becomes still more a fortress, of course, when the Tower Antonia was erected overlooking the temple area. There may, however, have been a reference to the fact that the collectors of tribute sent by Antiochus fortified the city of David, and used it as a basis of operations from which to assail the temple and defile its courts with blood (1 Macc. 1:35-36). And take away the daily sacrifice. The Hebrew word here used means "continual," and the substantive "sacrifice" is supplied. In ver. 45 of the same chapter of 1 Macc. we are told that Antiochus forbade "burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and drink offerings in the temple." And they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. One must note here the source of δώσουσι which we find in both Greek versions, and dabit, which we find in the Vulgate. The Hebrew has וְנָתְנוּ (venath'noo), "and they shall give or set." It seems to refer to an altar to Jupiter, which was erected on the brazen altar (1 Macc. 1:59). This altar is spoken of in ver. 54 as the "abomination of desolation (βδέλυγμα ἐρημώσεως)." The Hebrew phrase has been borrowed from <a href="/daniel/9-27.htm">Daniel 9:27</a>; hence the suggestion of Professor Bevan, to read here "בעלשׁיי, is not necessary <a href="/commentaries/daniel/11-31.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>His מִמֶּ֣נּוּ (mim·men·nū) Preposition | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4480.htm">Strong's 4480: </a> A part of, from, out of forces וּזְרֹעִ֖ים (ū·zə·rō·‘îm) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2220.htm">Strong's 2220: </a> The arm, the foreleg, force will rise up יַעֲמֹ֑דוּ (ya·‘ă·mō·ḏū) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5975.htm">Strong's 5975: </a> To stand, in various relations and desecrate וְחִלְּל֞וּ (wə·ḥil·lə·lū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2490.htm">Strong's 2490: </a> To bore, to wound, to dissolve, to profane, to break, to begin, to play the temple הַמִּקְדָּ֤שׁ (ham·miq·dāš) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4720.htm">Strong's 4720: </a> A consecrated thing, place, a palace, sanctuary, asylum fortress. הַמָּעוֹז֙ (ham·mā·‘ō·wz) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4581.htm">Strong's 4581: </a> A place or means of safety, protection They will abolish וְהֵסִ֣ירוּ (wə·hê·sî·rū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5493.htm">Strong's 5493: </a> To turn aside the daily sacrifice הַתָּמִ֔יד (hat·tā·mîḏ) Article | Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8548.htm">Strong's 8548: </a> Continuance, constant, ellipt, the regular, sacrifice and set up וְנָתְנ֖וּ (wə·nā·ṯə·nū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> To give, put, set the abomination הַשִּׁקּ֥וּץ (haš·šiq·qūṣ) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8251.htm">Strong's 8251: </a> Disgusting, filthy, idolatrous, an idol of desolation. מְשׁוֹמֵֽם׃ (mə·šō·w·mêm) Verb - Piel - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8074.htm">Strong's 8074: </a> To stun, devastate, stupefy <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/daniel/11-31.htm">Daniel 11:31 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/daniel/11-31.htm">Daniel 11:31 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/daniel/11-31.htm">Daniel 11:31 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/daniel/11-31.htm">Daniel 11:31 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/daniel/11-31.htm">Daniel 11:31 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/daniel/11-31.htm">Daniel 11:31 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/daniel/11-31.htm">Daniel 11:31 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/daniel/11-31.htm">Daniel 11:31 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/daniel/11-31.htm">Daniel 11:31 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/daniel/11-31.htm">Daniel 11:31 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/daniel/11-31.htm">OT Prophets: Daniel 11:31 Forces shall stand on his part (Dan.
