Daniel 11:29-35

29“At the appointed time he will come again to the South, but this time will not be like the first.

30Ships of Kittim will 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.

31His forces will rise up and desecrate the temple fortress. They will abolish the regular sacrifice and set up the abomination of desolation.

32With flattery he will corrupt those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their God will be strong and take action.

33Those who have insight among the people will give understanding to many, yet they will fall by the sword and flame, and they will be captured and plundered for a time.

34When they fall, they will be helped by some, but many others will join them insincerely.

35Some of those who have insight 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.
