Daniel 11:23

Study

       

23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall come up, and shall become strong, with a small people.

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.
