Prophecies about Persia and Greece

2Now I will tell you the truth. "Three more kings will arise in Persia, and the fourth will be far richer than the others. By the power he gains through his riches, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece.H5046H571H5975H7969H4428H6539H7243H6239H6238H1419H2393H6239H5782H4438H31203Then a warrior king will arise; he will rule a vast realm and do whatever he wants.H1368H4428H5975H4910H7227H4474H6213H75224But as soon as he is established, his kingdom will be broken up and divided to the four winds of heaven, but not to his descendants; it will not be the same kingdom that he ruled, because his kingdom will be uprooted and will go to others besides them.H5975H4438H7665H2673H702H7307H8064H319H4915H4910H4438H5428H312

Kings of the South and the North

5"The king of the South will grow powerful, but one of his commanders will grow more powerful and will rule a kingdom greater than his.H4428H5045H2388H8269H2388H4910H4475H7227H44746After some years they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to seal the agreement. She will not retain power, and his strength will not endure. She will be given up, together with her entourage, her father, and the one who supported her during those times.H7093H8141H2266H4428H1323H5045H935H4428H6828H6213H4339H6113H3581H2220H5975H2220H5414H935H3205H2388H62567In the place of the king of the South, one from her family will rise up, come against the army, and enter the fortress of the king of the North. He will take action against them and triumph.H5342H8328H5975H3653H935H2428H935H4581H4428H6828H6213H23888He will take even their gods captive to Egypt, with their metal images and their precious articles of silver and gold. For some years he will stay away from the king of the North,H935H7628H4714H430H5257H2532H3627H3701H2091H5975H8141H4428H68289who will enter the kingdom of the king of the South and then return to his own land.H4428H5045H935H4438H7725H12710"His sons will mobilize for war and assemble a large number of armed forces. They will advance, sweeping through like a flood, and will again wage war as far as his fortress.H1121H1624H622H1995H7227H2428H935H935H7857H5674H7725H1624H458111Infuriated, the king of the South will march out to fight with the king of the North, who will raise a great multitude, but the multitude will be handed over to his enemy.H4428H5045H4843H3318H3898H4428H6828H5975H7227H1995H1995H5414H302712When the multitude is carried off, he will become arrogant and cause tens of thousands to fall, but he will not triumph.H5375H1995H3824H7311H7311H5307H7239H581013The king of the North will again raise a multitude larger than the first. After some years he will advance with a great army and many supplies.H4428H6828H7725H5975H1995H7227H7223H935H935H7093H6256H8141H1419H2428H7227H739914"In those times many will rise up against the king of the South. Violent ones among your own people will assert themselves to fulfill a vision, but they will fail.H6256H7227H5975H4428H5045H1121H6530H5971H5375H5975H2377H378215Then the king of the North will come, build up an assault ramp, and capture a well-fortified city. The forces of the South will not stand; even their select troops will not be able to resist.H4428H6828H935H8210H5550H3920H4013H5892H2220H5045H5975H4005H5971H3581H597516The king of the North who comes against him will do whatever he wants, and no one can oppose him. He will establish himself in the beautiful landwith total destruction in his hand.H935H6213H7522H5975H6440H5975H6643H776H3027H361717He will resolve to come with the force of his whole kingdom and will reach an agreement with him. He will give him a daughter in marriage to destroy it, but she will not stand with him or support him.H7760H6440H935H8633H4438H3477H6213H5414H1323H802H7843H597518Then he will turn his attention to the coasts and islands and capture many. But a commander will put an end to his taunting; instead, he will turn his taunts against him.H7760H7725H6440H339H3920H7227H7101H2781H7673H1115H2781H772519He will turn his attention back to the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble, fall, and be no more.H7725H6440H4581H776H3782H5307H467220"In his place one will arise who will send out a tax collector for the glory of the kingdom; but within a few days he will be shattered, though not in anger or in battle.H5975H3653H5674H5065H1925H4438H259H3117H7665H639H442121"In his place a despised person will arise; royal honors will not be given to him, but he will come during a time of peaceand seize the kingdom by intrigue.H3653H5975H959H5414H1935H4438H935H7962H2388H4438H251922A flood of forces will be swept away before him; they will be shattered, as well as the covenant prince.H2220H7858H7857H6440H7665H5057H128523After an alliance is made with him, he will act deceitfully. He will rise to power with a small nation.H2266H6213H4820H5927H6105H4592H147124During a time of peace, he will come into the richest parts of the province and do what his fathers and predecessors never did. He will lavish plunder, loot, and wealth on his followers, and he will make plans against fortified cities, but only for a time.H935H7962H4924H4082H6213H1H6213H1H1H967H961H7998H7399H2803H4284H4013H625625"With a large army he will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South. The king of the South will prepare for battle with an extremely large and powerful army, but he will not succeed, because plots will be made against him.H5782H3581H3824H4428H5045H1419H2428H4428H5045H1624H4421H3966H1419H6099H2428H5975H2803H428426Those who eat his provisions will destroy him; his army will be swept away, and many will fall slain.H398H6598H7665H2428H7857H7227H5307H249127The two kings, whose hearts are bent on evil, will speak lies at the same table but to no avail, for still the end will come at the appointed time.H8147H4428H3824H4827H7451H1696H3577H259H7979H6743H7093H415028The king of the North will return to his land with great wealth, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant; he will take action, then return to his own land.H7725H776H1419H7399H3824H6944H1285H6213H7725H77629"At the appointed time he will come again to the South, but this time will not be like the first.H4150H7725H935H5045H7223H31430Ships of Kittimwill come against him, and being intimidated, he will withdraw. Then he will rage against the holy covenant and take action. On his return, he will favor those who abandon the holy covenant.H6716H3794H935H3512H7725H2194H6944H1285H6213H7725H995H5800H6944H128531His forces will rise up and desecrate the temple fortress. They will abolish the daily sacrifice and set up the abomination of desolation.H2220H5975H2490H4720H4581H5493H8548H5414H8251H807432With flattery he will corrupt those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their God will be strong and take action.H7561H1285H2610H2514H5971H3045H430H2388H621333Those who are wise among the people will give understanding to many, yet they will die by sword and flame, and be captured and plundered for a time.H7919H5971H995H7227H3782H2719H3852H7628H961H311734When defeated, they will be helped by some, but many others will join them insincerely.H3782H5826H4592H5828H7227H3867H251935Some of the wise will fall so that they may be refined, purified, and cleansed until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.H7919H3782H6884H1305H3835H6256H7093H415036"Then the king will do whatever he wants. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god, and he will say outrageous things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, because what has been decreed will be accomplished.H4428H6213H7522H7311H1431H410H1696H6381H410H410H6743H2195H3615H2782H621337He will not show regard for the gods of his fathers, the god longed for by women, or for any other god, because he will magnify himself above all.H995H430H1H2532H802H995H433H143138Instead, he will honor a god of fortresses— a god his fathers did not know— with gold, silver, precious stones, and riches.H3653H3513H433H4581H433H1H3045H3513H2091H3701H3368H68H253239He will deal with the strongest fortresses with [the help of] a foreign god. He will greatly honor those who acknowledge him, making them rulers over many and distributing land as a reward.H6213H4581H4013H5236H433H5234H5234H7235H3519H4910H7227H2505H127H424240"At the time of the end, the king of the South will engage him in battle, but the king of the North will storm against him with chariots, horsemen, and many ships. He will invade countries and sweep through them like a flood.H6256H7093H4428H5045H5055H4428H6828H8175H7393H6571H7227H591H935H776H7857H567441He will also invade the beautiful land, and many will fall. But these will escape from his power: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of the Ammonites.H935H6643H776H7227H3782H4422H3027H123H4124H7225H1121H598342He will extend his power against the countries, and not even the land of Egypt will escape.H7971H3027H776H776H4714H641343He will get control over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and over all the riches of Egypt. The Libyans and Cushites will also be in submission.H4910H4362H2091H3701H2532H4714H3864H3569H470344But reports from the east and the north will terrify him, and he will go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many.H8052H4217H6828H926H3318H1419H2534H8045H2763H722745He will pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain, but he will meet his end with no one to help him.H5193H168H643H3220H6643H6944H2022H935H7093H5826
