Daniel 11:36–45

³⁶“Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall ^aexalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done. ³⁷He shall regard neither the ⁷God of his fathers nor the desire of women, ^bnor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all. ³⁸But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. ³⁹Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for ⁸gain.

The Northern King’s Conquests

⁴⁰“At the ^ctime of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him ^dlike a whirlwind, with chariots, ^ehorsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through. ⁴¹He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: ^fEdom, Moab, and the ⁹prominent people of Ammon. ⁴²He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of ^gEgypt shall not escape. ⁴³He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow ^hat his heels. ⁴⁴But news from the east and the north shall trouble him; therefore he shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many. ⁴⁵And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas and ⁱthe glorious holy mountain; ^jyet he shall come to his end, and no one will help him.
