44 public-domain excerpts on Daniel 11, from the church fathers to the Puritans.

Calvin 41 Matthew Henry 1 Spurgeon 1 John Wesley 1

“"The speaker in this last vision is the Son of God himself. There are two things which in my judgment may be clearly proved; that the princes of Persia and Javan, as also Michael and Gabriel, are created angels; and that the speaker in this last vision is the angel of the covenant, the Son of God... The phrase, to strengthen him,' is also very significant. The word is mahoz, the same which occurs in the plural mahuzzim, at the close of the prophecy. …”
