Daniel

Daniel 11:31–36

³¹His forces will rise up and desecrate the temple fortress. They will abolish the daily sacrifice and set up the abomination of desolation.

³²With flattery he will corrupt those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him. ³³Those with insight will instruct many, though for a time they will fall by sword or flame, or be captured or plundered.

³⁴Now when they fall, they will be granted a little help, but many will join them insincerely. ³⁵Some of the wise will fall so that they may be refined, purified, and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.

³⁶Then the king will do as he pleases and will exalt and magnify himself above every god, and he will speak monstrous things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been decreed must be accomplished.
