Daniel 12

Daniel 12:1

Tehaphnehes - A great and goodly city of Egypt; Tachapanes, Tachpanes, Tahapanes, Tahpanes, Chanes, and Hanes, are names given it, and this from a queen of Egypt of that name in Solomon’s time. It stood not far from Sin, or Pelusium. Darkened - A night shall come upon it. Break - I shall break the kingdom of Egypt, that it no more oppress with yokes, that is, burdens. Her daughters - Her towns and villages.

Daniel 12:3

The eleventh year - Of Jeconiah’s captivity, three months and two days before Jerusalem was taken, about the time that the Egyptians attempted to raise the siege of Jerusalem.

Daniel 12:4

Have broken - Partly by the victory of the Chaldeans over Pharaoh - necho, partly by the victory of the Cyreneans over Pharaoh - hophra. The sword - None can heal the wounds that God gives but himself. They whom he disables, cannot again hold the sword.

Daniel 12:5

His arms - Both his arms. The strong - That part of his kingdom which remains entire. Broken - That which was shattered before.

Daniel 12:8

Will strengthen - As judges on the bench like Pilate, so generals in the field, like Nebuchadrezzar, have no power but what is given them from above.

Daniel 12:12

His multitude - His numerous subjects.

Daniel 12:13

A cedar - Like the most goodly cedar for strength and beauty.
