Daniel 11:36-12:3

New King James Version

³⁶“Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall ^(A)exalt 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 ^[a]God of his fathers nor the desire of women, ^(B)nor 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 ^[b]gain.

The Northern King’s Conquests

⁴⁰“At the ^(C)time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him ^(D)like a whirlwind, with chariots, ^(E)horsemen, 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: ^(F)Edom, Moab, and the ^[c]prominent people of Ammon. ⁴²He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of ^(G)Egypt 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 ^(H)at 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 ^(I)the glorious holy mountain; ^(J)yet he shall come to his end, and no one will help him.

Prophecy of the End Time

12 “At that time Michael shall stand up,
The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people;
^(K)And there shall be a time of trouble,
Such as never was since there was a nation,
Even to that time.
And at that time your people ^(L)shall be delivered,
Every one who is found ^(M)written in the book.
²And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
^(N)Some to everlasting life,
Some to shame ^(O)and everlasting ^[d]contempt.
³Those who are wise shall ^(P)shine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
^(Q)And those who turn many to righteousness
^(R)Like the stars forever and ever.
