Daniel 11:30-39

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.

36“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.

37He will not show regard for the gods of his ancestors, the god desired by women, or for any other god, because he will magnify himself above all.

38Instead, he will honor a god of fortresses — a god his ancestors did not know — with gold, silver, precious stones, and riches.

39He 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.
