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.H5046H571H5975H7969H4428H6539H7243H6239H6238H1419H2393H6239H5782H4438H31203"'A mighty king will come to power, and he'll rule with awesome energy, doing whatever he pleases.H1368H4428H5975H4910H7227H4474H6213H75224However, 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.H5975H4438H7665H2673H702H7307H8064H319H4915H4910H4438H5428H3125"'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.H4428H5045H2388H8269H2388H4910H4475H7227H44746After 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.H7093H8141H2266H4428H1323H5045H935H4428H6828H6213H4339H6113H3581H2220H5975H2220H5414H935H3205H2388H62567"'One of her family line will replace him.

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.H6256H7227H5975H4428H5045H1121H6530H5971H5375H5975H2377H378215Then 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.H4428H6828H935H8210H5550H3920H4013H5892H2220H5045H5975H4005H5971H3581H597516"'However, the one who invades him will do whatever he wants to do.

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.H3653H5975H959H5414H1935H4438H935H7962H2388H4438H251922Overwhelming forces will be carried away before him, along with the commander-in-chief of the covenant.H2220H7858H7857H6440H7665H5057H128523From 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.H2266H6213H4820H5927H6105H4592H147124He'll invade the most prosperous areas of the province during a time of tranquility, accomplishing what neither his predecessors nor his ancestors ever could.

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.H5782H3581H3824H4428H5045H1419H2428H4428H5045H1624H4421H3966H1419H6099H2428H5975H2803H428426His own security detail will undermine him, his army will be swept away, and many will fall and be killed in battle.24H398H6598H7665H2428H7857H7227H5307H249127"'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.H8147H4428H3824H4827H7451H1696H3577H259H7979H6743H7093H415028Then 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,H4150H7725H935H5045H7223H31430because 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.H6716H3794H935H3512H7725H2194H6944H1285H6213H7725H995H5800H6944H128531Armed forces will arise from his midst, and they'll desecrate the fortified Sanctuary, abolish the daily sacrifice, and establish the destructive desecration.H2220H5975H2490H4720H4581H5493H8548H5414H8251H807432Through flattery he'll corrupt those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but people who know their God will be strong and take action.H7561H1285H2610H2514H5971H3045H430H2388H621333Insightful people will impart understanding to many, though they'll fall by sword, by fire, by captivity, and as war booty for a while.H7919H5971H995H7227H3782H2719H3852H7628H961H311734When they fall, they'll be given some relief, but many will join them by pretending to be sympathetic to their cause.H3782H5826H4592H5828H7227H3867H251935Some 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.
