Daniel 11:29-35

29“At the appointed time he shall return and go toward the south; but it shall not be like the former or the latter.

30For ships from Cyprus shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and return in rage against the holy covenant, and do damage. “So he shall return and show regard for those who forsake the holy covenant.

31And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation.

32Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.

33And those of the people who understand shall instruct many; yet for many days they shall fall by sword and flame, by captivity and plundering.

34Now when they fall, they shall be aided with a little help; but many shall join with them by intrigue.

35And some of those of understanding shall fall, to refine them, purify them, and make them white, until the time of the end; because it is still for the appointed time.
