The Kingdoms of Egypt and Syria

2And what I am now going to tell you is true." The angel said, "Three more kings will rule over Persia, followed by a fourth, who will be richer than all the others. At the height of his power and wealth he will challenge the kingdom of Greece.H5046H571H5975H7969H4428H6539H7243H6239H6238H1419H2393H6239H5782H4438H3120
3"Then a heroic king will appear. He will rule over a huge empire and do whatever he wants.H1368H4428H5975H4910H7227H4474H6213H7522
4But at the height of his power his empire will break up and be divided into four parts. Kings not descended from him will rule in his place, but they will not have the power that he had.H5975H4438H7665H2673H702H7307H8064H319H4915H4910H4438H5428H312
5"The king of Egypt will be strong. One of his generals, however, will be even stronger and rule a greater kingdom.H4428H5045H2388H8269H2388H4910H4475H7227H4474
6After a number of years the king of Egypt will make an alliance with the king of Syria and give him his daughter in marriage. But the alliance will not last, and she, her husband, her child, and the servants who went with her will all be killed.H7093H8141H2266H4428H1323H5045H935H4428H6828H6213H4339H6113H3581H2220H5975H2220H5414H935H3205H2388H6256
7Soon afterward one of her relatives will become king. He will attack the army of the king of Syria, enter their fortress, and defeat them.H5342H8328H5975H3653H935H2428H935H4581H4428H6828H6213H2388
8He will carry back to Egypt the images of their gods and the articles of gold and silver dedicated to those gods. After several years of peaceH935H7628H4714H430H5257H2532H3627H3701H2091H5975H8141H4428H6828
9the king of Syria will invade Egypt, but he will be forced to retreat.H4428H5045H935H4438H7725H127
10"The sons of the king of Syria will prepare for war and gather a large army. One of them will sweep on like a flood and attack an enemy fortress.H1121H1624H622H1995H7227H2428H935H935H7857H5674H7725H1624H4581
11In his anger the king of Egypt will go to war against the king of Syria and capture his huge army.H4428H5045H4843H3318H3898H4428H6828H5975H7227H1995H1995H5414H3027
12He will be proud of his victory and of the many soldiers he has killed, but he will not continue to be victorious.H5375H1995H3824H7311H7311H5307H7239H5810
13"The king of Syria will go back and gather a larger army than he had before. When the proper time comes, he will return with a large, well-equipped army.H4428H6828H7725H5975H1995H7227H7223H935H935H7093H6256H8141H1419H2428H7227H7399
14Then many people will rebel against the king of Egypt. And some violent people from your nation, Daniel, will rebel because of a vision they have seen, but they will be defeated.H6256H7227H5975H4428H5045H1121H6530H5971H5375H5975H2377H3782
15So the king of Syria will lay siege to a fortified city and capture it. The soldiers of Egypt will not continue to fight; even the best of them will not have enough strength.H4428H6828H935H8210H5550H3920H4013H5892H2220H5045H5975H4005H5971H3581H5975
16The Syrian invader will do with them as he pleases, without opposition. He will stand in the Promised Land and have it completely in his power.H935H6213H7522H5975H6440H5975H6643H776H3027H3617
17"The king of Syria will plan an expedition, using his whole army. Then, in order to destroy his enemy's kingdom, he will make an alliance with him and offer him his daughter in marriage; but his plan will not succeed.H7760H6440H935H8633H4438H3477H6213H5414H1323H802H7843H5975
18After that he will attack the nations by the sea and conquer many of them. But a foreign leader will defeat him and put an end to his arrogance; indeed he will turn the arrogance of Syria's king back on him.H7760H7725H6440H339H3920H7227H7101H2781H7673H1115H2781H7725
19The king will return to the fortresses of his own land, but he will be defeated, and that will be the end of him.H7725H6440H4581H776H3782H5307H4672
20"He will be followed by another king, who will send an officer to oppress the people with taxes in order to increase the wealth of his kingdom. In a short time that king will be killed, but not publicly and not in battle."H5975H3653H5674H5065H1925H4438H259H3117H7665H639H4421

The Evil King of Syria

21The angel went on to explain: "The next king of Syria will be an evil man who has no right to be king, but he will come unexpectedly and seize power by trickery.H3653H5975H959H5414H1935H4438H935H7962H2388H4438H2519
22Anyone who opposes him, even God's High Priest, will be swept away and wiped out.H2220H7858H7857H6440H7665H5057H1285
23By making treaties, he will deceive other nations, and he will grow stronger and stronger, even though he rules only a small nation.H2266H6213H4820H5927H6105H4592H1471
24He will invade a wealthy province without warning and will do things that none of his ancestors ever did. Then he will divide among his followers the goods and property he has captured in war. He will make plans to attack fortresses, but his time will soon run out.H935H7962H4924H4082H6213H1H6213H1H1H967H961H7998H7399H2803H4284H4013H6256
25"He will boldly raise a large army to attack the king of Egypt, who will prepare to fight back with a huge and powerful army. But the king of Egypt will be deceived and will not be successful.H5782H3581H3824H4428H5045H1419H2428H4428H5045H1624H4421H3966H1419H6099H2428H5975H2803H4284
26His closest advisers will ruin him. Many of his soldiers will be killed, and his army will be wiped out.H398H6598H7665H2428H7857H7227H5307H2491
27Then the two kings will sit down to eat at the same table, but their motives will be evil, and they will lie to each other. They will not get what they want, because the time for it has not yet come.H8147H4428H3824H4827H7451H1696H3577H259H7979H6743H7093H4150
28The king of Syria will return home with all the loot he has captured, determined to destroy the religion of God's people. He will do as he pleases and then return to his own land.H7725H776H1419H7399H3824H6944H1285H6213H7725H776
29"Later on he will invade Egypt again, but this time things will turn out differently.H4150H7725H935H5045H7223H314
30The Romans will come in ships and oppose him, and he will be frightened. "Then he will turn back in a rage and try to destroy the religion of God's people. He will follow the advice of those who have abandoned that religion.H6716H3794H935H3512H7725H2194H6944H1285H6213H7725H995H5800H6944H1285
31Some of his soldiers will make the Temple ritually unclean. They will stop the daily sacrifices and set up The Awful Horror.H2220H5975H2490H4720H4581H5493H8548H5414H8251H8074
32By deceit the king will win the support of those who have already abandoned their religion, but those who follow God will fight back.H7561H1285H2610H2514H5971H3045H430H2388H6213
33Wise leaders of the people will share their wisdom with many others. But for a while some of them will be killed in battle or be burned to death, and some will be robbed and made prisoners.H7919H5971H995H7227H3782H2719H3852H7628H961H3117
34While the killing is going on, God's people will receive a little help, even though many who join them will do so for selfish reasons.H3782H5826H4592H5828H7227H3867H2519
35Some of those wise leaders will be killed, but as a result of this the people will be purified. This will continue until the end comes, the time that God has set.H7919H3782H6884H1305H3835H6256H7093H4150
36"The king of Syria will do as he pleases. He will boast that he is greater than any god, superior even to the Supreme God. He will be able to do this until the time when God punishes him. God will do exactly what he has planned.H4428H6213H7522H7311H1431H410H1696H6381H410H410H6743H2195H3615H2782H6213
37The king will ignore the god his ancestors served, and also the god that women love. In fact, he will ignore every god, because he will think he is greater than any of them.H995H430H1H2532H802H995H433H1431
38Instead, he will honor the god who protects fortresses. He will offer gold, silver, jewels, and other rich gifts to a god his ancestors never worshiped.H3653H3513H433H4581H433H1H3045H3513H2091H3701H3368H68H2532
39To defend his fortresses, he will use people who worship a foreign god. He will give great honor to those who accept him as ruler, put them into high offices, and give them land as a reward.H6213H4581H4013H5236H433H5234H5234H7235H3519H4910H7227H2505H127H4242
40"When the king of Syria's final hour has almost come, the king of Egypt will attack him, and the king of Syria will fight back with all his power, using chariots, horses, and many ships. He will invade many countries, like the waters of a flood.H6256H7093H4428H5045H5055H4428H6828H8175H7393H6571H7227H591H935H776H7857H5674
41He will even invade the Promised Land and kill tens of thousands, but the countries of Edom, Moab, and what is left of Ammon will escape.H935H6643H776H7227H3782H4422H3027H123H4124H7225H1121H5983
42When he invades all those countries, even Egypt will not be spared.H7971H3027H776H776H4714H6413
43He will take away Egypt's hidden treasures of gold and silver and its other prized possessions. He will conquer Libya and Ethiopia.H4910H4362H2091H3701H2532H4714H3864H3569H4703
44Then news that comes from the east and the north will frighten him, and he will fight furiously, killing many people.H8052H4217H6828H926H3318H1419H2534H8045H2763H7227
45He will even set up his huge royal tents between the sea and the mountain on which the Temple stands. But he will die, with no one there to help him."H5193H168H643H3220H6643H6944H2022H935H7093H5826
