A Mighty King Stands Before His Armiesby KandD

Daniel 11:3

And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.

Daniel 11:3 belongs to the revelations of the mysteries of ages to come given to Daniel as God's ambassador and recorded in Daniel 7-12. Even Daniel himself did not fully understand it. It was shut up and sealed even to the time of the end. It belongs to the closing period of this world's history, when it is to be understood, with the blessed assurance that Daniel shall rest and shall stand in his lot and place at the end of the days.

Its prophecy, with the rest of Daniel 11, is nearly fulfilled, and its final fulfillment is nearly reached and nearly complete. Its fulfillment is signaled by a warlike condition of the world, a world stirred by war, and rising international troubles. Those conditions show that its prophesied scenes of trouble will soon take place and are close. They point to the approaching time of trouble before Jesus comes.
