Context of Daniel 11:31

29“At the appointed time he will invade the south again, only this time the outcome will not be as before. 30The ships of Kittim will come against him, and he will lose heart. Then he will turn back and vent his rage against the holy covenant. When he returns, he will favor those who forsake the holy covenant. “His forces will rise up and profane the fortified Temple; they will stop the daily offering and set up the abomination of desolation. 32With smooth words he will seduce those who act wickedly against the covenant, but the people who know their God will stand strong and prevail. 33Those who are wise among the people will instruct many, though for many days they will fall by the sword, or be burned, captured or pillaged.

• 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. Both Sir Isaac Newton and Bp. Newton agree, that what follows is spoken of the Romans.

One portion suppose that the description of Antiochus and his deeds continues still to be the design of the prophet; another, that the Romans are here introduced, and that a part of the predictions in the remainder of…Read the comment

From Antiochus the account seems to pass to antichrist. Reference seems to be made to the Roman empire, the fourth monarchy, in its pagan, early Christian, and papal states.
