Context of Daniel 11:32

30Ships will come from the west to attack him, and he will be discouraged and turn back. Angry at the holy promise, he will return, take action, and favor those who abandon the holy promise. 31His forces will dishonor the holy place (the fortress), take away the daily burnt offering, and set up the disgusting thing that causes destruction. With flattery he will corrupt those who abandon the promise. But the people who know their God will be strong and take action. 33“People who are wise will help many to understand. But for some time they will be defeated by swords and flames. They will be captured and looted. 34As they are being defeated, they will get a little help, but many who are not sincere will join them.
