Daniel 11:25-45
“ With a large army he will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South. The king of the South will prepare for battle with an extremely large and powerful army, but he will not succeed, because plots will be made against him.Those who eat his provisions will destroy him; his army will be swept away, and many will fall slain.The two kings, whose hearts are bent on evil, will speak lies at the same table but to no avail, for still the end will come at the appointed time.The king of the North will return to his land with great wealth, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant; he will take action, then return to his own land.“ At the appointed time he will come again to the South, but this time will not be like the first.Ships of Kittim will come against him, and being intimidated, he will withdraw. Then he will rage against the holy covenant and take action. On his return, he will favor those who abandon the holy covenant.His forces will rise up and desecrate the temple fortress. They will abolish the daily sacrifice and set up the abomination of desolation.With flattery he will corrupt those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their God will be strong and take action.Those who are wise among the people will give understanding to many, yet they will die by sword and flame, and be captured and plundered for a time.When defeated, they will be helped by some, but many others will join them insincerely.Some of the wise will fall so that they may be refined, purified, and cleansed until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.“ Then the king will do whatever he wants. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god, and he will say outrageous things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, because what has been decreed will be accomplished.He will not show regard for the gods of his fathers, the god longed for by women, or for any other god, because he will magnify himself above all.Instead, he will honor a god of fortresses— a god his fathers did not know— with gold, silver, precious stones, and riches.He will deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. He will greatly honor those who acknowledge him, making them rulers over many and distributing land as a reward.“ At the time of the end, the king of the South will engage him in battle, but the king of the North will storm against him with chariots, horsemen, and many ships. He will invade countries and sweep through them like a flood.He will also invade the beautiful land, and many will fall. But these will escape from his power: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of the Ammonites.He will extend his power against the countries, and not even the land of Egypt will escape.He will get control over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and over all the riches of Egypt. The Libyans and Cushites will also be in submission.But reports from the east and the north will terrify him, and he will go out with great fury to annihilate and completely destroy many.He will pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain, but he will meet his end with no one to help him.

Daniel 7:20-26
I also wanted to know about the 10 horns on its head and about the other horn that came up, before which three fell— the horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke arrogantly, and that was more visible than the others.As I was watching, this horn waged war against the holy ones and was prevailing over themuntil the Ancient of Days arrived and a judgment was given in favor of the holy ones of the Most High, for the time had come, and the holy ones took possession of the kingdom.“ This is what he said:‘ The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, different from all the other kingdoms. It will devour the whole earth, trample it down, and crush it.The 10 horns are 10 kings who will rise from this kingdom. Another, different from the previous ones, will rise after them and subdue three kings.He will speak words against the Most High and oppress the holy ones of the Most High. He will intend to change religious festivals and laws, and the holy ones will be handed over to him for a time, times, and half a time.But the court will convene, and his dominion will be taken away, to be completely destroyed forever.

Daniel 8:23-24
Near the end of their kingdoms, when the rebels have reached the full measure of their sin, an insolent king, skilled in intrigue, will come to the throne.His power will be great, but it will not be his own. He will cause terrible destruction and succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy the powerful along with the holy people.
