3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come (A)unless the falling away comes first, and (B)the man of [a]sin is revealed, (C)the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and (D)exalts himself (E)above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits [b]as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For (F)the [c]mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only [d]He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, (G)whom the Lord will consume (H)with the breath of His mouth and destroy (I)with the brightness of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is (J)according to the working of Satan, with all power, (K)signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among (L)those who perish, because they did not receive (M)the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And (N)for this reason God will send them strong delusion, (O)that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but (P)had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Revelation 8
New King James Version
Seventh Seal: Prelude to the Seven Trumpets
8 When(A) He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 (B)And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, (C)and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with (D)the prayers of all the saints upon (E)the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And (F)the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And (G)there were noises, thunderings, (H)lightnings, (I)and an earthquake.
6 So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
First Trumpet: Vegetation Struck
7 The first angel sounded: (J)And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown (K)to the [a]earth. And a third (L)of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
Second Trumpet: The Seas Struck
8 Then the second angel sounded: (M)And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, (N)and a third of the sea (O)became blood. 9 (P)And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
Third Trumpet: The Waters Struck
10 Then the third angel sounded: (Q)And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, (R)and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 (S)The name of the star is Wormwood. (T)A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.
Fourth Trumpet: The Heavens Struck
12 (U)Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day [b]did not shine, and likewise the night.
13 And I looked, (V)and I heard an [c]angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, (W)“Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”

Daniel 11:36-12:1
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. 37 He 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. 38 But 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. 39 Thus 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. 41 He 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. 42 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of (G)Egypt shall not escape. 43 He 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. 44 But news from the east and the north shall trouble him; therefore he shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many. 45 And 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.

Daniel 8:8-14
New King James Version
8 Therefore the male goat grew very great; but when he became strong, the large horn was broken, and in place of it (A)four notable ones came up toward the four winds of heaven. 9 (B)And out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, (C)toward the east, and toward the (D)Glorious Land. 10 (E)And it grew up to (F)the host of heaven; and (G)it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them. 11 (H)He even exalted himself as high as (I)the Prince of the host; (J)and by him (K)the daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place of [a]His sanctuary was cast down. 12 Because of transgression, (L)an army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices; and he cast (M)truth down to the ground. He (N)did all this and prospered.
13 Then I heard (O)a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, “How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression [b]of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?”
14 And he said to me, “For two thousand three hundred [c]days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.”

20 and the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, before which three fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke [a]pompous words, whose appearance was greater than his fellows.
21 “I was watching; (A)and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came, (B)and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.
23 “Thus he said:
‘The fourth beast shall be
(C)A fourth kingdom on earth,
Which shall be different from all other kingdoms,
And shall devour the whole earth,
Trample it and break it in pieces.
24 (D)The ten horns are ten kings
Who shall arise from this kingdom.
And another shall rise after them;
He shall be different from the first ones,
And shall subdue three kings.
25 (E)He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
Shall (F)persecute[b] the saints of the Most High,
And shall (G)intend to change times and law.
Then (H)the saints shall be given into his hand
(I)For a time and times and half a time.
