11In year one of King Darius the Mede, I arose to fortify and strengthen him.'"10H259H8141H1867H4075H5977H2388H4581

International Conflicts to Come

2"'Now I'll tell you the truth: Look! Three more kings will arise in Persia. Then a fourth will gain more than them all. As soon as he gains power by means of his wealth, he'll stir up everyone against the Grecian kingdoms.H5046H571H5975H7969H4428H6539H7243H6239H6238H1419H2393H6239H5782H4438H3120
3"'A mighty king will come to power, and he'll rule with awesome energy, doing whatever he pleases.H1368H4428H5975H4910H7227H4474H6213H7522
4However, after he has come to power, his kingdom will be broken and parceled out in all directions. It will not go to his succeeding descendants, nor will its power match how he ruled, because his sovereignty will be uprooted and given to successors besides them.H5975H4438H7665H2673H702H7307H8064H319H4915H4910H4438H5428H312
5"'The southern king will become strong, along with one of his officials, who will become stronger than he and rule over his own realm with great power.H4428H5045H2388H8269H2388H4910H4475H7227H4474
6After a number of years, they'll become allies and the daughter of the southern king will go to the northern king in order to craft alliances. But she won't remain in power, nor will he retain his power. Instead, she'll be surrendered, along with her entourage, the one who fathered her, and the one who supported her at that time.H7093H8141H2266H4428H1323H5045H935H4428H6828H6213H4339H6113H3581H2220H5975H2220H5414H935H3205H2388H6256
7"'One of her family line will replace him. He'll come against the army and enter the fortress of the northern king, conquering them and becoming victorious.H5342H8328H5975H3653H935H2428H935H4581H4428H6828H6213H2388
8He'll also take their gods, their molten images, and their valuable vessels of silver and gold into Egypt as hostages. He'll avoid the northern king for a number of years.H935H7628H4714H430H5257H2532H3627H3701H2091H5975H8141H4428H6828
9Then he'll come against the realm of the southern king and then return to his own territory.H4428H5045H935H4438H7725H127
10His sons will prepare for war, assembling an army of considerable force. One of them will come on forcefully, overflowing, passing through, and waging war up to his own fortress.H1121H1624H622H1995H7227H2428H935H935H7857H5674H7725H1624H4581
11"'The southern king will fly into a rage and march out to fight the northern king. He'll gather a large army, but that army will be handed over to him.H4428H5045H4843H3318H3898H4428H6828H5975H7227H1995H1995H5414H3027
12When that army has been defeated, he'll become overconfident and slaughter many thousands, but he won't succeed.H5375H1995H3824H7311H7311H5307H7239H5810
13The northern king will return and raise a greater army than before. After a few years he'll advance with a great force and with a vast amount of armaments.'"H4428H6828H7725H5975H1995H7227H7223H935H935H7093H6256H8141H1419H2428H7227H7399

Rebellion against the Southern King

14"'During those years, many will rebel against the southern king. The more violent ones among your people will rebel in order to fulfill this vision, but they will fail.H6256H7227H5975H4428H5045H1121H6530H5971H5375H5975H2377H3782
15Then the northern king will come, erect a siege ramp, and capture a fortified city. The southern forces won't prevail-not even with their best troops - and they'll have no strength to take a stand.H4428H6828H935H8210H5550H3920H4013H5892H2220H5045H5975H4005H5971H3581H5975
16"'However, the one who invades him will do whatever he wants to do. No one will oppose him. He'll establish himself in the Beautiful Land, wielding devastating power.H935H6213H7522H5975H6440H5975H6643H776H3027H3617
17He'll decide to come with the full power of his kingdom, bringing with him an alliance that he'll implement. He'll give him a daughter in marriage to overthrow it, but it won't succeed or work out for him.H7760H6440H935H8633H4438H3477H6213H5414H1323H802H7843H5975
18Then he'll turn his attention to the coastal lands and will capture many. But a commander will put an end to his insolence, repaying him for his scorn.H7760H7725H6440H339H3920H7227H7101H2781H7673H1115H2781H7725
19He'll turn his attention toward the fortresses in his own territory, but he'll stumble and fall, and won't endure.H7725H6440H4581H776H3782H5307H4672
20"'His successor will send out a tax collector for royal splendor, but in a short period of time he'll be shattered, though neither in anger nor in battle.'"H5975H3653H5674H5065H1925H4438H259H3117H7665H639H4421

The Despicable King

21"'In his place there will arise a despicable person, upon whom no royal authority has been conferred, but he'll invade in a time of tranquility, taking over the kingdom through deception.H3653H5975H959H5414H1935H4438H935H7962H2388H4438H2519
22Overwhelming forces will be carried away before him, along with the commander-in-chief of the covenant.H2220H7858H7857H6440H7665H5057H1285
23From the time that an alliance is made with him, he'll act deceitfully, and he will go up and take power with only a small group of nations.H2266H6213H4820H5927H6105H4592H1471
24He'll invade the most prosperous areas of the province during a time of tranquility, accomplishing what neither his predecessors nor his ancestors ever could. He'll distribute war spoils, booty, and wealth to them, and he'll plot the overthrow of fortresses, though only for a time.H935H7962H4924H4082H6213H1H6213H1H1H967H961H7998H7399H2803H4284H4013H6256
25He'll encourage himself against the southern king by raising a large army. As a result, the southern king will mobilize for war with a large and powerful army, but he won't succeed because they will devise elaborate schemes against him.H5782H3581H3824H4428H5045H1419H2428H4428H5045H1624H4421H3966H1419H6099H2428H5975H2803H4284
26His own security detail will undermine him, his army will be swept away, and many will fall and be killed in battle.24H398H6598H7665H2428H7857H7227H5307H2491
27"'Now as for the two kings, their intentions will be evil, and they'll promote deception at their dinner table, but none of this will succeed, because the end won't have come yet.H8147H4428H3824H4827H7451H1696H3577H259H7979H6743H7093H4150
28Then he'll return to his homeland with great wealth, will focus his attention against the holy covenant, and will take action as he returns to his land.'"H7725H776H1419H7399H3824H6944H1285H6213H7725H776

Desecration of the Sanctuary

29"'At the scheduled time he'll return, moving southward, but the end result won't be as before,H4150H7725H935H5045H7223H314
30because ships will come against him from the Mediterranean islands. Disheartened, he'll return, incited to vehemence against the holy covenant, and he'll take action. As he returns, he'll show deference to those who abandon the holy covenant.H6716H3794H935H3512H7725H2194H6944H1285H6213H7725H995H5800H6944H1285
31Armed forces will arise from his midst, and they'll desecrate the fortified Sanctuary, abolish the daily sacrifice, and establish the destructive desecration.H2220H5975H2490H4720H4581H5493H8548H5414H8251H8074
32Through flattery he'll corrupt those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but people who know their God will be strong and take action.H7561H1285H2610H2514H5971H3045H430H2388H6213
33Insightful people will impart understanding to many, though they'll fall by sword, by fire, by captivity, and as war booty for a while.H7919H5971H995H7227H3782H2719H3852H7628H961H3117
34When they fall, they'll be given some relief, but many will join them by pretending to be sympathetic to their cause.H3782H5826H4592H5828H7227H3867H2519
35Some of the insightful will fall so they may be refined, purged, and purified until the time of the end, since it will surely come about.'"H7919H3782H6884H1305H3835H6256H7093H4150

The King Who Calls Himself God

36"'The king will do as he pleases. He'll exalt and magnify himself above every god, speaking amazing things against the God of Gods. He'll succeed until the indignation is completed, because what has been determined must be carried out.H4428H6213H7522H7311H1431H410H1696H6381H410H410H6743H2195H3615H2782H6213
37He'll recognize neither the gods of his ancestors nor those desired by women - he won't recognize any god, because he'll exalt himself above everything.H995H430H1H2532H802H995H433H1431
38He'll glorify the god of fortresses, a god whom his ancestors never knew, honoring him with gold, silver, valuable jewels, and treasures.H3653H3513H433H4581H433H1H3045H3513H2091H3701H3368H68H2532
39He'll take action against the strongest fortresses. With the help of a foreign god, he'll recognize those who honor him, making them rule over many, and he'll parcel out the land for a profit.11H6213H4581H4013H5236H433H5234H5234H7235H3519H4910H7227H2505H127H4242
40"'At the time of the end, the southern king will oppose him, and the northern king will overrun him with chariots, cavalry, and many ships. He'll invade countries, moving swiftly and sweeping through.H6256H7093H4428H5045H5055H4428H6828H8175H7393H6571H7227H591H935H776H7857H5674
41He'll enter the Beautiful Land, and many will fall, even though these will escape his control: Edom, Moab, and certain Ammonite officials.H935H6643H776H7227H3782H4422H3027H123H4124H7225H1121H5983
42He'll extend his power over other countries, and even the land of Egypt won't escape.H7971H3027H776H776H4714H6413
43He'll capture treasures of gold, silver, and all the treasures of Egypt with the Libyans and Cushites at his feet.H4910H4362H2091H3701H2532H4714H3864H3569H4703
44However, reports from the east and the north will alarm him, and he'll march out in great anger, intending to destroy and to desolate many.H8052H4217H6828H926H3318H1419H2534H8045H2763H7227
45When he pitches his royal pavilions between the seas facing the mountain of holy Glory, he'll come to his end, and no one will help him.'"H5193H168H643H3220H6643H6944H2022H935H7093H5826
