Daniel 7:8

8I considered the horns, and behold, athere came up among them another horn, a little one, bbefore which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and ca mouth speaking great things.

Daniel 7:20-26

20 dand about the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn that came up and before which three of them fell, the horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke great things, and that seemed greater than its companions. 21As I looked, this horn emade war with the saints and prevailed over them, 22until the fAncient of Days came, and gjudgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when hthe saints possessed the kingdom.

23Thus he said: ‘As for ithe fourth beast,

there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth,
which shall be different from all the kingdoms,
and it shall devour the whole earth,
and trample it down, and break it to pieces.
24As for the ten horns,
out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise,
and another shall arise after them;
he shall be different from the former ones,
and shall put down three kings.
25 jHe shall speak words against the Most High,
and shall wear out the saints of the Most High,
and shall think to kchange the times and the law;
and they shall be given into his hand
for la time, times, and half a time.
26 mBut the court shall sit in judgment,
and nhis dominion shall be taken away,
to be consumed and destroyed oto the end.

Daniel 8:23-24

23And at the latter end of their kingdom, when the transgressors have reached their limit, a king of bold face, one who understands riddles, shall arise. 24His power shall be greatpbut not by his own power; and he shall cause fearful destruction qand shall succeed in what he does, rand destroy mighty men and the people who are the saints.

Daniel 11:21

21In his place shall arise a contemptible person to whom royal majesty has not been given. sHe shall come in without warning and obtain the kingdom tby flatteries.

Daniel 11:25-45

25And he shall stir up his power and his heart against uthe king of the south with a great army. And the king of the south shall wage war with an exceedingly great and mighty army, but he shall not stand, for plots shall be devised against him. 26Even those who eat his food shall break him. His army shall be vswept away, and many shall fall down slain. 27And as for the two kings, their hearts shall be bent on doing evil. They shall speak lies at the same table, but to no avail, for wthe end is yet to be at the time appointed. 28And he shall return to his land with great wealth, but his heart shall be set against the holy covenant. And he shall work his will and return to his own land.

29“At the time appointed he shall return and come into the south, but it shall not be this time as it was before. 30For ships of xKittim shall come against him, and he shall be afraid and withdraw, and shall turn back and ybe enraged and ztake action against the holy covenant. He shall turn back and pay attention to those who forsake the holy covenant. 31Forces from him shall appear and aaprofane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the regular burnt offering. And abthey shall set up the abomination that makes desolate. 32He shall seduce with flattery those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action. 33 acAnd the wise among the people shall make many understand, though for some days they shall stumble by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder. 34When they stumble, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join themselves to them with flattery, 35and some of the wise shall stumble, so that they may be refined, adpurified, and aemade white, until afthe time of the end, agfor it still awaits the appointed time.

36“And the king shall ahdo as he wills. aiHe shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, ajand shall speak astonishing things against akthe God of gods. alHe shall prosper amtill the indignation is accomplished; for what is decreed shall be done. 37He shall pay no attention to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women. He shall not pay attention to any other god, for anhe shall magnify himself above all. 38He shall honor the god of fortresses instead of these. A god whom his fathers did not know he shall honor aowith gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. 39He shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. Those who acknowledge him he shall load with honor. He shall make them rulers over many and apshall divide the land for a price.
Or  land as payment


40 ar“At the time of the end, the king of the south shall attack
Hebrew thrust at
him, but the king of the north shall rush upon him atlike a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen, and with many ships. And he shall come into countries and aushall overflow and pass through.
41He shall come into avthe glorious land. And tens of thousands shall fall, but these shall be delivered out of his hand: awEdom and axMoab and the main part of the ayAmmonites. 42He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43He shall become ruler of the treasures of gold and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt, and the azLibyans and the baCushites shall follow in his train. 44But news from the east and the north shall alarm him, and he shall go out with great fury to destroy and devote many to destruction. 45And he shall pitch his palatial tents between the sea and the glorious holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with none to help him.
