Daniel 11:30-35

³⁰For ships of Kittim will come against him; therefore he will withdraw in fear and will return and curse the holy covenant and take action; so he will come back and pay attention to those who abandon the holy covenant. ³¹Forces from him will arise, desecrate the sanctuary fortress, and do away with the regular sacrifice. And they will set up the abomination of desolation. ³²And by smooth words he will turn to godlessness those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their God will be strong and take action. ³³And those who have insight among the people will give understanding to the many; yet they will fall by sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder for many days. ³⁴Now when they fall they will be granted a little help, and many will join with them in hypocrisy. ³⁵And some of those who have insight will fall, to refine, purge, and cleanse them until the end time; because it is still to come at the appointed time.
