Daniel 11:6

"“The king of the south will be strong. One of his princes will become stronger than him, and have dominion. His dominion will be a great dominion."

Key Reflection

This passage foretells a power struggle where a rising prince within the southern kingdom surpasses the king's authority, symbolizing the internal conflicts and external threats that can arise within political structures, often mirroring spiritual battles within individuals and communities. This dynamic highlights the ongoing tension between faithfulness and apostasy in leadership roles.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And in the end of years -In the future periods of the history of these two kingdoms. The event here referred to did not occur during the lives of these two kings, Seleucus Nicator and Ptolemy Soter, but in the reign of their successors, Ptolemy Philadelphus and Antiochus Theos or Theus. The phrase “the end of years” would well denote such a future period. The Vulgate renders it, “after the end of years;” that is, after many years have elapsed.
