Context of Daniel 11:31

29“At the appointed time he will again invade the south, but this time will be different from the first. 30Ships will come from the west to attack him, and he will be discouraged and turn back. Angry at the holy promise, he will return, take action, and favor those who abandon the holy promise. His forces will dishonor the holy place (the fortress), take away the daily burnt offering, and set up the disgusting thing that causes destruction. 32With flattery he will corrupt those who abandon the promise. But the people who know their God will be strong and take action. 33“People who are wise will help many to understand. But for some time they will be defeated by swords and flames. They will be captured and looted.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 31And arms shall stand on his part - After Antiochus, arms, that is, the Romans, shall stand up: for arms in this prophecy every where denote military potter, and standing up, the power in activity and conquering.
