Daniel 11:45 Summary
Daniel 11:45 tells us that the king of the North, a powerful and evil leader, will set up his headquarters between the Mediterranean Sea and the holy mountain of Jerusalem, but he will ultimately meet his end with no one to help him. This verse reminds us that God is in control of history and that evil will not triumph in the end, as we see in Psalm 37:35-36 and Revelation 20:10. The beautiful holy mountain is a symbol of God's presence and power, and it's a reminder that He will ultimately judge and defeat all evil. As believers, we can find comfort and hope in the promise that God will one day bring an end to all wickedness and evil, as mentioned in Revelation 21:1-4.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the beautiful holy mountain mentioned in Daniel 11:45?
The beautiful holy mountain is likely referring to Mount Zion in Jerusalem, which is also mentioned in other parts of the Bible, such as Psalm 48:2 and Isaiah 11:9, as a sacred and holy place.
Who is the 'he' in Daniel 11:45?
The 'he' in Daniel 11:45 is referring to the king of the North, also known as the Antichrist, who is described in Daniel 11:36-45 as a powerful and evil leader who will rise to power before the return of Jesus Christ, as mentioned in Daniel 12:1-3 and 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4.
What does it mean that he will meet his end with no one to help him?
This phrase suggests that the king of the North will ultimately face defeat and destruction, with no one able to rescue or save him, much like the fate of other evil leaders in the Bible, such as Babylon's King Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4:28-37 and the beast in Revelation 19:20.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the Bible?
Daniel 11:45 is part of a larger prophecy about the end times, which is also mentioned in other books of the Bible, such as Matthew 24:15, where Jesus warns about the abomination of desolation, and Revelation 13:1-10, which describes the rise of the Antichrist.

- In what ways can we see the fulfillment of Daniel 11:45 in current events or in the world around us, and what should our response be as believers?
- What does this verse teach us about the ultimate fate of evil and wickedness, and how can we find comfort and hope in this promise?
Gill's Exposition on Daniel 11:45
And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace,.... Or "pavilion" (c); the tents for his princes and generals that come with him; which shall be placed about his own, and where he will think
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Daniel 11:45
And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Daniel 11:45
Between the seas; the Euxine and Mediterranean. at Constantinople, and even to the Red Sea; in the glorious holy mountain, in the church of Christ eastern: so the Turk. Or in the western seas, the Mediterranean and Adriatic: so the pope, reaching to the western ocean. Both antichrists, one without, and the other within the temple of God.
Trapp's Commentary on Daniel 11:45
Daniel 11:45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.Ver. 45. And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace,] i.e., He shall pitch his tent-royal (in token of full power given to his captains Lysias and the rest) in Emmaus, near to Jerusalem, to keep the Jews in subjection. Between the seas.] The Dead Sea and the Medditerranean Sea, which are the bounds of Judea, called here the glorious holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end.] A loathsome and lamentable one. See 1Ma 6:8 2Ma 9:5-12 not so much because he would have spoiled the temple of Diana, but because he did spoil the temple at Jerusalem. Polyb.; Joseph., lib. xii. cap. 12.
Ellicott's Commentary on Daniel 11:45
(45) He shall plant . . .—For a similar prophecy, comp. Jeremiah 43:10 (where see the Targum). The king is here represented as halting while a palatial tent is being erected for him. The word “palace” is omitted by the LXX., and simply transliterated “Apedno” by St. Jerome and Theodotion, as if it were a proper name. Between the seas—i.e., between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. The glorious holy mountain.—Literally, The mountain of the holy ornament, generally explained to be Mount Zion. (Comp. Psalms 48:2.) This he threatens, as once did the Assyrian (comp. Isaiah 10:32-34), but without success.
He shall come to his end.—It is to be remarked that the end of this king is placed in the same locality which is elsewhere predicted by the prophets as the scene of the overthrow of Antichrist (Ezekiel 39:4; Joe 3:2; Joe 3:12; Zechariah 14:2).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Daniel 11:45
Verse 45. He shalt plant the tabernacles] He shall make a last stand in Judea, and there shall his power be smitten. He shall come to his end, and none shall help him] All his confederate and tributary kingdoms, states, and provinces shall desert him, and leave that government to come to a shameful end. IN the interpretation of this chapter I have generally followed Bp. Newton, in his most excellent Dissertations on the Prophecies, consulting other eminent authors occasionally. From the beginning of the chapter Daniel 11:1 to the end of Da 11:30 all is very clear and plain, relative to the Grecian, Syrian, and Egyptian histories; from the thirty-first verse to the end, Daniel 11:31-45 the mode of interpretation is not so satisfactory, in its application to the times since Christ. Yet possibly these alone may be intended; though the whole might be, with considerable ease, applied to the remaining part of the Syrian and Egyptian history. It is a wonderful piece of prophecy, and of great utility to the cause of Divine revelation.
Cambridge Bible on Daniel 11:45
45. plant] viz. as a tree: fig. for fix. A late usage: cf. Ecclesiastes 12:11; and see Levy, NHWB[392] iii. 380. [392] HWB. M. Levy, Neuhebräisches und Chaldäisches Wörterbuch, 1876–89.the tents of his palace] the large and sumptuous tent, or collection of tents, which would form naturally the headquarters of an oriental king[393]. The word for ‘palace’ (appéden) occurs only here in the O.T.: it is a Persian word, denoting properly a large hall or throne-room (see on Daniel 8:1). From Persian it passed into Aramaic,—it is used in the Targ. of Jeremiah 43:10 of the ‘royal pavilion’ which Nebuchadnezzar was to erect in Egypt,—and occurs frequently in Syriac in the sense of ‘palace.’ The present passage shews that it passed similarly into late Hebrew. [393] Polyaenus (Strateg. iv. iii. 24) describes the spacious and gorgeously decorated tent in which Alexander administered justice whilst in India.between the seas and the beauteous holy mountain] between the Mediterranean Sea (for the poet. plur., see Judges 5:17, Deuteronomy 33:19) and the hill of Zion; ‘holy mountain,’ as Psalms 2:6, and frequently; ‘beauteous’ as Daniel 11:16; Daniel 11:41. and he shall come to his end] Antiochus died actually at Tabae in Persia. It is certainly not said here in so many words that he should meet his end at the spot on which his royal tent was to be pitched; but the connexion between the two parts of the verse naturally implies it: Antiochus is to meet his death in Palestine, the country in which he had committed his greatest crimes, and which he was even now threatening to invade and ravage again. Other prophets also represent the powers hostile to Israel as defeated in proximity to Jerusalem: cf. Ezekiel 39:4, Joe 3:2; Joe 3:12 f., Zechariah 14:2.
Barnes' Notes on Daniel 11:45
