Daniel 11:29-45 ▼

29 At the appointed time he will return, and he will come into the south; and this last time will not be like the first.

30 For the ships of Kittim will come against him, and he will be disheartened, and he will return, being angered against the covenant of holiness. And he will act, and he will turn back, and he will pay attention to those forsaking the holy covenant.

31 And forces from him will stand, and they will profane the sanctuary and the fortress, and they will turn away the daily sacrifice, and they will set up the abomination of desolation.

32 And those acting wickedly toward the covenant he will corrupt by flatteries; and the people who know their God will remain strong, and will take action.

33 And those acting prudently among the people will bring understanding to many; and they will fall by sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by plunder, for days.

34 And in their falling, they will be helped with a little help. And many will be joined to them with flatteries,

35 and some of understanding will fall, in order to refine them and to purify, and to make them white, until the time of the end. For it is yet for the appointed time.

36 And the king will act according to his desires, and he will exalt and magnify himself over every god, and he will speak blasphemies against the God of gods. And he will prosper until the wrath is accomplished, for what is decreed will be done.

37 And to the God of his fathers he will not pay attention, or to for the one desired by women. And he will not pay attention to any god, for he will magnify himself above them all.

38 And he will show honor to a god of fortresses in their place, and he will show honor to a god that his fathers did not know, with gold, and with silver, and with precious stones, and with desirable things.

39 And he will act against the fortifications of strongholds with a foreign god. On those who acknowledge him, he will increase glory and make them to rule over many; and the land he will divide at a price.

40 And at the time of the end, the king of the south will thrust against him, and the king of the North will storm against him with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he will come into the lands, and will flow over and pass through.

41 And he will come into the land of glory; and many will be overthrown, and these will escape from his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the first part of the sons of Ammon.

42 And he will stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt will not be for an escape.

43 And he will rule over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and Cushites will be in his steps.

44 And news will disturb him from the east and from the north, and he will go forth with great fury to destroy and to devote to destruction many.

45 And he will plant the tents of his palace between the seas, to the mountain of the beauty of holiness; and he will come to his end, and no one will help him.
