transgressors are come to the full--This does not hold good of the times of Antiochus, but of the closing times of the Christian era. Compare Luke 18:8, and 2 Timothy 3:1-9, as to the wickedness of the world in general just before Christ's second coming. Israel's guilt, too, shall then be at the full, when they who rejected Christ shall receive Antichrist; fulfilling Jesus words, "I am come in My Father's name, and ye receive Me not; if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive" (compare Genesis 15:16; Matthew 23:32; 1 Thessalonians 2:16).
of fierce countenance-- (Deuteronomy 28:50); one who will spare neither old nor young.
understanding dark sentences--rather, "artifices" [GESENIUS]. Antiochus made himself master of Egypt and Jerusalem successively by craft (1 Maccabees 1:30, etc.; 2 Maccabees 5:24, etc.).
