Daniel 11:30-39

30For ships of 12Kittim will come against him; therefore he will withdraw in fear and will return and curse the holy covenant and take action; so he will come back and pay attention to those who abandon the holy covenant. 31Forces from him will arise, 3desecrate the sanctuary fortress, and do away with the regular sacrifice. And they will set up the 4abomination 5of desolation. 32And by 6smooth words he will 7turn to godlessness those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their God will be 8strong and take action. 33And 910those who have insight among the people will give understanding to the many; yet they will 11fall by sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder for many days. 34Now when they fall they will be granted a little help, and many will 12join with them in 13hypocrisy. 35And some of 14those who have insight will fall, to 15refine, 16purge, and 1718cleanse them until the 19end time; because it is still to come at the appointed time.

36“Then the king will 20do as he pleases, and he will exalt himself and 21boast against every god and will 22speak 23dreadful things against the 24God of gods; and he will be successful until the 25indignation is finished, because that which is 26determined will be done. 37And he will show no regard for the 27gods of his fathers or for the 28desire of women, nor will he show regard for any other god; for he will boast against them all. 38But 29instead he will honor a god of fortresses, a god whom his fathers did not know; he will honor him with gold, silver, precious stones, and treasures. 39And he will take action against the strongest of fortresses with the help of a foreign god; he will give great honor to 30those who acknowledge him and will make them rulers over the many, and will parcel out land for a price.
