📚 Historical Context
Daniel 11 is part of a prophetic vision given to the prophet Daniel during the Babylonian exile, outlining future conflicts between powerful empires, particularly the Persian and Greek kingdoms. In this verse, "he" likely refers to Antiochus IV Epiphanes, a Seleucid king who invaded Egypt in the second century BC, seizing its wealth and forcing nearby nations like Libya and Ethiopia to follow his campaigns. This prophecy demonstrates the Bible's historical accuracy in foretelling the rise and fall of rulers and empires.
