Daniel 11:29,30

DANIEL—NOTE ON Daniel 11:29 In 168 B.C. (that is, the time appointed by God) Antiochus IV Epiphanes invaded Egypt again. This time he met with a humiliating defeat. The Romans had joined forces with the Ptolemies, and Antiochus IV was no match for the Roman army. In 167 B.C. he turned his anger toward Palestine (and be enraged and take action against the holy covenant) and sent his chief tax collector, Apollonius, to Jerusalem. Initially Apollonius appeared to come in peace, but on the Sabbath he began killing people and looting the city. He also rewarded those Jews who supported the Hellenistic policies.
