Daniel 11:1

Study

       

1 And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.

Commentary

 

Sons of the stranger

  

'Sons of the stranger' signify counterfeit truths, or falsities. 'Our sons' signify the doctrines of truth, and 'our daughters,' the doctrines of good, as in Psalm 144:11-12.
