For he speaks in this way, \"And another shameless king shall arise and he shall be exalted over every god and shall be magnified and he shall say immoderate things and he shall prosper until the wrath is consummated. For it is to be consummated. And he shall not regard any god of his fathers nor desire women and he shall not regard any god, because he shall be magnified over all. And he shall glorify the god of Moazeim in his place and a god which his fathers did not know; he shall honor in gold and silver and precious stones and he shall multiply glory and shall subject many to them and divide the earth in gifts.\" [Daniel 11:36-39]<br/><i>— Commentary on Daniel 4.48.1-2</i></p><p><b>Jerome</b>: \"But he shall worship the god Maozim in his place, and a god which his fathers knew not shall he worship with gold and silver and precious stones and things of great price.\" Instead of \"the god Maozim (m'dym),\" as the Hebrew has it, Aquila renders, \"the God of mighty powers (fortitudinum),\" whereas the Septuagint says, \"the most mighty God.\" As for the god Maozim, Porphyry has offered an absurd explanation, asserting that Antiochus's generals set up a statue of Jupiter in the village of Modin, from which came Mattathias and his sons; moreover they compelled the Jews to offer blood-sacrifices to it, that is, to the god of Modin. The next statement, \"...and he shall worship a god whom his fathers did not know\" is more appropriate to the Antichrist than to Antiochus. For we read that Antiochus held to the religion of the idols of Greece and compelled the Jews and Samaritans to worship his own gods.<br/><i>— St. Jerome, Commentary on Daniel, CHAPTER ELEVEN</i></p><p><b>Theodoret of Cyrus</b>: Whereas all his ancestors acknowledged their natural limitations and did not presume to name themselves as god over all things, he gives himself the title God mighty and strong (the sense of Maozeim)—hence his putting \"in his place,\" meaning himself.<br/><i>— COMMENTARY ON Daniel 11:38</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"ab0ee7b5c03e6d693d1a417d9c03eae2e996eb6b096b5671a3fd261d1ba7b0cd","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":3578,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"2499dc3e940402b79b61800fefe2cda0fc59c22ae49616d6b35c58420af79938","translator":null,"work":null}
