Gains power with a small number of followers

Theological Significance The verse also carries a broader spiritual lesson: God can use even a small group or seemingly weak individuals to accomplish significant outcomes, contrasting human reliance on numbers with divine purposes (similar to Gideon’s army in Judges 7). Additionally, some interpreters see this passage as foreshadowing the rise of an end-times figure, often linked to the Antichrist, who will similarly gain power through deception. Summary Daniel 11:23 portrays a ruler who: Forms an alliance or treaty Acts deceitfully after the agreement Gains power with a small number of followers Historically, this is often linked to Antiochus IV Epiphanes, while theologically, it illustrates the dynamics of power, deception, and God’s use of the weak to fulfill His purposes

Gains power with a small number of followers

Daniel 11:23 describes a ruler who, after forming an alliance, acts deceitfully and rises to power with only a small group of followers. Verse Text Daniel 11:23 states: “After coming to an agreement with him, he will act deceitfully, and with only a few people he will rise to power” (NIV) or “And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people” (KJV). The verse emphasizes two key elements: the formation of an alliance and the ruler’s subsequent deceitful actions. Meaning and Interpretation The verse is part of a larger prophetic passage describing the rise and actions of various rulers. Daniel 11:23 specifically highlights a ruler who gains power through cunning and strategic alliances rather than sheer numbers. Despite having only a small following, he becomes strong, demonstrating that influence and power can come from strategy and deception rather than military might or large armies. The deceit mentioned in the verse indicates that the ruler will not honor the alliance in good faith, using it instead to advance his own ambitions. This serves as a warning about the potential for betrayal in political or social agreements and the importance of discernment Historical Context Many biblical scholars associate this prophecy with Antiochus IV Epiphanes, a Seleucid king in the second century BC. He is known for his treacherous political maneuvers, including forming temporary alliances and then acting against those who trusted him. Antiochus IV is infamous for persecuting the Jewish people, defiling the temple in Jerusalem, and breaking treaties, which aligns with the deceit described in Daniel 11:23
