Context — The King Who Exalts Himself
39He will attack the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him, making them rulers over many and distributing the land for a price.
40At the time of the end, the king of the South will engage him in battle, but the king of the North will storm out against him with chariots, horsemen, and many ships, invading many countries and sweeping through them like a flood.
41He will also invade the Beautiful Land, and many countries will fall. But these will be delivered from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the leaders of the Ammonites.
42He will extend his power over many countries, and not even the land of Egypt will escape. 43He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and over all the riches of Egypt, and the Libyans and Cushites will also submit to him.Cross References

Daniel 11:41 Summary
This verse, Daniel 11:41, talks about a powerful leader who will invade many countries, including the Beautiful Land, which is Israel. However, some countries, like Edom, Moab, and the leaders of the Ammonites, will be spared from his attacks. This shows us that God is in control of world events and can protect those who trust in Him, just like He promised in Psalm 121:1-8. As we read this verse, we can remember that God is our Rock and our Defender, and we can trust in His power and love, as seen in Deuteronomy 33:27.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Beautiful Land referred to in Daniel 11:41?
The Beautiful Land is a reference to the land of Israel, as seen in Daniel 8:9 and Daniel 11:16, where it is also called the 'Glorious Land' or the 'Holy Land'.
Why are Edom, Moab, and the leaders of the Ammonites spared from the invader's hand?
The Bible does not explicitly state why these nations are spared, but it may be due to God's sovereign mercy, as seen in Isaiah 16:1-5, where God promises to protect the Moabites, or due to their geographical location, making them less accessible to the invader.
Is this invasion a historical event or a future prophecy?
While the historical context of Daniel 11 is rooted in the ancient world, many scholars believe that this verse, in particular, has a future fulfillment, possibly in the end times, as hinted at in Daniel 11:40, which mentions 'the time of the end'.
How does this verse relate to other biblical prophecies about Israel?
This verse is part of a larger narrative about God's plan for Israel, as seen in Ezekiel 36:1-37:28, where God promises to restore and protect Israel, and in Zechariah 12:1-14:21, where God promises to defend Jerusalem against all nations.
Reflection Questions
- What does this verse reveal about God's sovereignty over the nations, and how can I apply this truth to my life?
- How does the sparing of Edom, Moab, and the leaders of the Ammonites challenge my understanding of God's mercy and justice?
- In what ways can I, like the people of Israel, trust in God's promise to protect and deliver me from harm, as seen in Psalm 91:1-16?
- What does this verse teach me about the importance of humility and recognizing God's power in the face of human weakness?
Gill's Exposition on Daniel 11:41
He shall enter also into the glorious land,.... The land of Israel, as the Syriac version expresses it; or the land of Judea, which the Turk entered into, and got possession of, and still retains,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Daniel 11:41
He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Daniel 11:41
When the Turk should subdue Judea, those people of Edom, Moab, and Ammon shall be left, because all along to this day these Arabians live partly by robberies, and partly by Turkish salaries to secure their caravans; these shall live, and not be overthrown by Mahometans.
Trapp's Commentary on Daniel 11:41
Daniel 11:41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many [countries] shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, [even] Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.Ver. 41. He shall enter also into the glorious land.] Judea, but for no good. In Greece they say, Where the Grand Seignior once setteth his foot, there groweth no more grass. But they shall escape.] Because they shall side with him.
Ellicott's Commentary on Daniel 11:41
(41) The glorious land.—See Daniel 11:16. On the occasion of his hasty march against Egypt, while passing through Palestine, the king takes the shortest route, avoiding the three tribes which had been distinguished by their hostility towards the people of Israel. It is remarkable that these nations (two of which appear as figures of Antichrist, Isaiah 25:10; Isaiah 63:1) should escape, while other nations fell before Antichrist. It is also noteworthy that these three tribes are called nations, for after the return from the exile it appears that they ceased to have any distinct national existence. As tribes they had some considerable power, taking the part of Antiochus in the Maccabee wars. (See 1Ma 3:10; 1Ma 5:1-8.) Judas also fortified Zion against the Idumæans. The chief of—i.e., the best of them. (Comp. Numbers 24:20.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Daniel 11:41
Verse 41. He shall enter also into the glorious land] Entirely subdue Judea. And many countries shall be overthrown] Aleppo, Damascus, Gaza, and many other cities were forced to submit to them; and they hold them still. But these shalt escape - Edom and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.] These and other Arabians they have never been able to subdue. They still occupy the deserts; and receive a yearly pension of forty thousand crowns of gold from the Ottoman emperors, to permit the caravans, with the pilgrims for Mecca, to have a free passage.
Cambridge Bible on Daniel 11:41
41. the beauteous land] the land of Israel, as Daniel 11:16. shall be overthrown] lit. shall stumble (Daniel 11:14; Daniel 11:19; Daniel 11:33; Daniel 11:35), i.e. be ruined: cf., for the expression, Isaiah 3:8 ‘Jerusalem hath stumbled’ (A.V., R.V., is ruined). The word for ‘many’ is fem.: hence ‘countries’ must be understood from Daniel 11:40, though it is, of course, their inhabitants who are really meant. Bevan, Behrmann, Marti, Kamph., and Prince (with the change of a point) read ‘tens of thousands shall be overthrown’ (cf. Daniel 11:12). Some countries will, however, escape; in particular, three of Israel’s ancient foes, of whom at least Edom and the Ammonites shewed hostility against the Jews at this time (cf. 1Ma 4:61; 1Ma 5:1-8). Jason, the renegade high-priest, twice found an asylum with the Ammonites (2Ma 4:26; 2Ma 5:7). escape] be delivered (R.V.). (Escape is needed for a different Heb. word in Daniel 11:42.) the chief of, &c.] i.e. the principal part of them. Cf., for the word, Numbers 24:20; Jeremiah 49:35; Amos 6:1.
Barnes' Notes on Daniel 11:41
He shall enter also into the glorious land - Margin, “land of delight,” or ornament, or goodly land. The Hebrew is, “land of ornament;” that is, of beauty, to wit, Palestine, or the holy land.
Whedon's Commentary on Daniel 11:41
41. The glorious land — That is, Palestine. (See Daniel 7:9.) Edom, and Moab,… Ammon — Why are these mentioned?
