Daniel 11 Decoded: An Exegetical, Historical, and Theological Study

by Jacques B. Doukhan

Publisher:

Andrews University Press

, 2019

Overview

It is widely described as one of the most cryptic, complex texts in the Bible. Perhaps more than any other passage, it uses what appears to many to be heavily coded language, even while ostensibly describing world events from the Persian period to our day. Thus, credible attempts by faithful scholars to read that code can lead in markedly different directions.

Writing from a solidly historicist perspective in prophetic interpretation, Jacques Doukhan lays the groundwork in several short chapters for this masterful study of Daniel 11 by (1) critiquing the history of its interpretation; (2) examining its literary context; (3) closely examining its relationship to Daniel 8; (4) decoding the meaning of particular expressions like King of the North and King of the South; and (5) giving particular attention to the words, grammar, and literary structure.
