Daniel 11:29-35

29At an appointed time he will again invade the south, but this latter visit will not turn out the way the former one did.

30The ships of Kittim will come against him, leaving him disheartened. He will turn back and direct his indignation against the holy covenant. He will return and honor those who forsake the holy covenant.

31His forces will rise up and profane the fortified sanctuary, stopping the daily sacrifice. In its place they will set up the abomination that causes desolation.

32Then with smooth words he will defile those who have rejected the covenant. But the people who are loyal to their God will act valiantly.

33These who are wise among the people will teach the masses. However, they will fall by the sword and by the flame, and they will be imprisoned and plundered for some time.

34When they stumble, they will be granted some help. But many will unite with them deceitfully.

35Even some of the wise will stumble, resulting in their refinement, purification, and cleansing until the time of the end, for it is still for the appointed time.
