Daniel 11:1-4

Here is a plain and evident inference to the kings and kingdom of Persia, which arose out of the Chaldean; and from the connection which the Church was obliged to have with this kingdom, after Cyrus had made proclamation for the Jews to return to their own land; it became to Daniel and to his fellows a very blessed scripture. But to the Church in the present hour it ceases to be prophetical, though thus far we may regard it as a precious monument, in proof of the Lord Jehovah's faithfulness. See Ezra 1:1, etc.
