Daniel 11:36-45

36“So the king will do as he pleases, exalting and magnifying himself above every god. He will even speak outrageous things against the God of gods. He will prosper until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been decided will be done.

37He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or the one desired by women, nor will he show regard for any god, but will exalt himself above all.

38Instead of these, he will honor a god of fortresses—a god his fathers did not acknowledge he will honor with gold, silver, precious stones and costly things.

39He will attack strong fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him. He will give them authority over many and will parcel out land for a price.

40“Now at the time of the end the king of the south will attack him, and the king of the north will storm out against him with chariots, horsemen and many ships. He will invade lands and pass through them like an overflowing river.

41He will also invade the Beautiful Land. Many will be overthrown, but these will escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the chief of the sons of Ammon.

42He will extend his hand against other countries; the land of Egypt will not escape.

43He will gain control over the hidden treasures of gold and silver, as well as all of the riches of Egypt. The Libyans and the Cushites will also be under his feet.

44But reports from the east and north will alarm him, and he will set out in a great rage to destroy and annihilate many.

45He will pitch his royal tents between the seas and the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he will meet his doom with no one to help him.’
