Dios Habla Hoy
11 »Yo también le animé y ayudé cuando Darío, el rey de Media, estaba en el primer año de su reinado. 2 Y ahora te voy a dar a conocer la verdad:
Los reyes del norte y del sur
»“Todavía gobernarán en Persia tres reyes, después de los cuales ocupará el poder un cuarto rey que será más rico que los otros tres. Y cuando por medio de sus riquezas haya alcanzado gran poder, pondrá todo en movimiento contra el reino de Grecia. 3 Pero después gobernará un rey muy guerrero, que extenderá su dominio sobre un gran imperio y hará lo que se le antoje. 4 Sin embargo, una vez establecido, su imperio será deshecho y repartido en cuatro partes. El poder de este rey no pasará a sus descendientes, ni tampoco el imperio será tan poderoso como antes lo fue, ya que quedará dividido y otros gobernarán en su lugar.
5 »”El rey del sur será muy poderoso, pero uno de sus generales llegará a ser más fuerte que él y extenderá su dominio sobre un gran imperio. 6 Al cabo de algunos años, los dos harán una alianza: el rey del sur dará a su hija en matrimonio al rey del norte, con el fin de asegurar la paz entre las dos naciones. Pero el plan fracasará, pues tanto ella como su hijo, su marido y sus criados, serán asesinados. 7 Sin embargo, un miembro de su familia atacará al ejército del norte y ocupará la fortaleza real, y sus tropas dominarán la situación. 8 Además, se llevará a Egipto a sus dioses, a sus imágenes hechas de metal fundido, junto con otros valiosos objetos de oro y plata. Después de algunos años sin guerra entre las dos naciones, 9 el rey del norte tratará de invadir el sur, pero se verá obligado a retirarse.
10 »”Pero los hijos del rey del norte se prepararán para la guerra y organizarán un gran ejército. Uno de ellos se lanzará con sus tropas a la conquista del sur, destruyéndolo todo como si fuera un río desbordado; después volverá a atacar, llegando hasta la fortaleza del rey del sur. 11 La invasión del ejército del norte enojará tanto al rey del sur, que éste saldrá a luchar contra el gran ejército enemigo y lo derrotará por completo. 12 El triunfo obtenido y el gran número de enemigos muertos lo llenará de orgullo, pero su poder no durará mucho tiempo. 13 El rey del norte volverá a organizar un ejército, más grande que el anterior, y después de algunos años volverá a atacar al sur con un ejército numeroso y perfectamente armado.
14 »”Cuando esto suceda, muchos se rebelarán contra el rey del sur. Entre ellos habrá algunos hombres malvados de Israel, tal como fue mostrado en la visión, pero fracasarán. 15 El rey del norte vendrá y construirá una rampa alrededor de una ciudad fortificada, y la conquistará. Ni los mejores soldados del sur podrán detener el avance de las tropas enemigas. 16 El invasor hará lo que se le antoje con los vencidos, sin que nadie pueda hacerle frente, y se quedará en la Tierra de la Hermosura destruyendo todo lo que encuentre a su paso. 17 Además, se preparará para apoderarse de todo el territorio del sur; para ello, hará una alianza con ese rey y le dará a su hija como esposa, con el fin de destruir su reino, pero sus planes fracasarán. 18 Después atacará a las ciudades de las costas, y muchas de ellas caerán en su poder; pero un general pondrá fin a esta vergüenza, poniendo a su vez en vergüenza al rey del norte. 19 Desde allí, el rey se retirará a las fortalezas de su país; pero tropezará con una dificultad que le costará la vida, y nunca más se volverá a saber de él.
20 »”Su lugar será ocupado por otro rey, que enviará un cobrador de tributos para enriquecer su reino; pero al cabo de pocos días lo matarán, aunque no en el campo de batalla.
21 »”Después de él reinará un hombre despreciable, a quien no le correspondería ser rey, el cual ocultará sus malas intenciones y tomará el poder por medio de engaños. 22 Destruirá por completo a las fuerzas que se le opongan, y además matará al jefe de la alianza. 23 Engañará también a los que hayan hecho una alianza de amistad con él y, a pesar de disponer de poca gente, vencerá. 24 Cuando nadie se lo espere, entrará en las tierras más ricas de la provincia y hará lo que no hizo ninguno de sus antepasados: repartirá entre sus soldados los bienes y riquezas obtenidas en la guerra. Planeará sus ataques contra las ciudades fortificadas, aunque sólo por algún tiempo.
25 »”Animado por su poder y su valor, atacará al rey del sur con el apoyo de un gran ejército. El rey del sur responderá con valor, y entrará en la guerra con un ejército grande y poderoso; pero será traicionado, y no podrá resistir los ataques del ejército enemigo. 26 Los mismos que él invitaba a comer en su propia mesa, le prepararán la ruina, pues su ejército será derrotado y muchísimos de sus soldados morirán. 27 Entonces los dos reyes, pensando sólo en hacerse daño, se sentarán a comer en la misma mesa y se dirán mentiras el uno al otro, pero ninguno de los dos logrará su propósito porque todavía no será el momento. 28 El rey del norte regresará a su país con todas las riquezas capturadas en la guerra, y entonces se pondrá en contra de la santa alianza; llevará a cabo sus planes, y después volverá a su tierra. 29 Cuando llegue el momento señalado, lanzará de nuevo sus tropas contra el sur; pero en esta invasión no triunfará como la primera vez. 30 Su ejército será atacado por tropas del oeste traídas en barcos, y dominado por el pánico emprenderá la retirada. Entonces el rey del norte descargará su odio sobre la santa alianza, valiéndose de los que renegaron de la alianza para servirle a él.
31 »”Sus soldados profanarán el templo y las fortificaciones, suspenderán el sacrificio diario y pondrán allí el horrible sacrilegio. 32 El rey tratará de comprar con halagos a los que renieguen de la alianza, pero el pueblo que ama a su Dios se mantendrá firme y hará frente a la situación. 33 Los sabios del pueblo instruirán a mucha gente, pero luego los matarán a ellos, y los quemarán, y les robarán todo lo que tengan, y los harán esclavos en tierras extranjeras. Esto durará algún tiempo. 34 Cuando llegue el momento de las persecuciones, recibirán un poco de ayuda, aunque muchos se unirán a ellos sólo por conveniencia propia. 35 También serán perseguidos algunos de los que instruían al pueblo, para que, puestos a prueba, sean purificados y perfeccionados, hasta que llegue el momento final que ya ha sido señalado.
36 »”El rey del norte hará todo lo que se le antoje. Será tal su orgullo que se creerá superior a todos los dioses, y dirá terribles ofensas contra el verdadero Dios; y todo le saldrá bien, hasta que Dios le envíe su castigo; porque lo que Dios ha de hacer, lo hará. 37 Este rey no tomará en cuenta a los dioses de sus antepasados, ni a los dioses adorados por las mujeres, ni a ningún otro dios, porque se creerá superior a todos ellos. 38 Sin embargo, adorará al dios de las fortalezas; honrará a este dios que sus antepasados no adoraron, y le ofrecerá oro, plata, piedras preciosas y objetos de gran valor. 39 Para defender las fortificaciones usará gente que adora a un dios extranjero; y a todos los que adoren a este rey, él les hará grandes honores, los pondrá en puestos importantes y les dará tierras como recompensa.
40 »”Cuando llegue el momento final, el rey del sur atacará al rey del norte; pero éste saldrá a su encuentro y, como una tormenta, se lanzará contra el sur, inundando todo el país con carros de guerra, tropas de caballería y muchos barcos. 41 También entrará en la Tierra de la Hermosura y matará a muchísima gente; pero se salvarán los habitantes de Edom y Moab, y la mayor parte del territorio de Amón. 42 Su ejército ocupará otros países, y ni siquiera Egipto se librará. 43 Se llevará los tesoros de oro y plata, y todos los objetos preciosos de Egipto; luego les llegará su turno a Libia y Etiopía. 44 Pero recibirá noticias del este y del norte, que le dejarán alarmado; entonces saldrá furioso, con la idea de hacer una gran matanza, 45 y establecerá su campamento real entre el mar y el santo monte de la Hermosura. Pero allí mismo llegará la hora de su muerte, y no habrá nadie que lo ayude.

Guerras entre norte y sur
11 Y aquel personaje siguió diciendo:
«Durante el primer año del reinado de Darío en Media, yo le brindé mi ayuda y mi apoyo. 2 Y es que Persia todavía tendrá tres reyes. Después vendrá un cuarto rey, que será más rico que los tres anteriores. Será tan rico y poderoso que atacará al reino de Grecia.
3 »Después vendrá un rey muy valiente, que gobernará un gran imperio y hará lo que se le antoje. 4 Cuando su reino ya esté bien establecido, será destruido y se dividirá en cuatro partes. Este rey no les dejará el poder a sus hijos, ni será tan poderoso como antes fue, porque su reino estará dividido y en su lugar gobernarán otros reyes.
5 »El rey del sur será muy poderoso, pero uno de los jefes de su ejército le ganará en poder y controlará a muchas naciones y pueblos. 6 Después de algunos años, el rey del norte y el rey del sur unirán sus fuerzas. Para que haya paz entre ellos, el rey del norte se casará con la hija del rey del sur. Sin embargo, este plan no tendrá éxito porque matarán a la hija y a su esposo, junto con su hijo y sus criados.
7 »Un miembro de la familia del rey del sur peleará contra el ejército del rey del norte, y lo vencerá; luego ocupará el castillo del rey, y con su ejército lo controlará todo. 8 Se llevará a Egipto sus dioses de metal, y otros objetos de oro y plata. De este modo, durante algún tiempo no habrá guerra entre estos dos reinos.
9 »Tiempo después, el rey del norte tratará de conquistar al reino del sur, pero tendrá que regresar a su tierra. 10 Entonces los hijos del rey del norte se enojarán y reunirán un gran ejército para luchar contra el rey del sur. Y lo atacarán, y llegarán hasta el castillo de ese rey. A su paso lo destruirán todo, como si fueran un río desbordado.
11 »Ante este ataque, el rey del sur se enojará mucho. Entonces saldrá a luchar contra el ejército del rey del norte, y lo derrotará por completo. 12 Esta victoria hará que el rey del sur se vuelva muy orgulloso. Pero su orgullo no le durará mucho tiempo, 13 porque el rey del norte organizará otro ejército, más grande y mejor preparado que el primero, y después de algunos años volverá a atacar al rey del sur y lo vencerá.
14 »En ese tiempo, muchos se unirán al rey del norte para pelear contra el rey del sur. Tal y como lo viste en tu sueño, entre ellos habrá algunos israelitas malvados; pero no les irá bien, pues serán derrotados. 15 El rey del norte construirá una rampa alrededor de una ciudad amurallada, y subirá a sus muros y la conquistará. ¡Ni los soldados más valientes del sur podrán detener al ejército enemigo! 16 El rey conquistador hará lo que quiera, y nadie se atreverá a hacerle frente. Destruirá todo lo que encuentre a su paso, y se quedará en la tierra más hermosa.
17 »El rey del norte tratará de vencer por completo al rey del sur. Para quedarse con su reino, firmará la paz y dejará que su hija se case con él. Pero su plan no tendrá éxito. 18 Entonces atacará las ciudades que están a la orilla del mar, y a muchas de ellas las conquistará. Pero un jefe del ejército terminará con esto, y pondrá en vergüenza al rey del norte. 19 Así el rey del norte volverá a sus castillos, pero un accidente le causará la muerte, y nadie más volverá a hablar de él.
20 »Su lugar lo ocupará otro rey, que para hacerse rico enviará uno de sus criados a cobrar impuestos. Pero pocos días después morirá, aunque no en la guerra.
21 »Después de ese rey vendrá un malvado, que no merecerá ser rey, pero que llegará a serlo por medio de engaños, y sin que nadie se dé cuenta de sus intenciones. 22 Ese malvado derrotará por completo a los ejércitos enemigos, y también al príncipe con quien hizo un tratado. 23 Engañará también a sus amigos, y a pesar de no tener un gran ejército logrará sus propósitos.
24 »Ese malvado tomará por sorpresa las tierras más ricas del lugar, y hará lo que no hicieron sus padres ni sus abuelos: repartirá entre sus soldados las riquezas que hayan ganado en la guerra, y hará planes para conquistar a las ciudades más protegidas. Pero esto no durará mucho tiempo. 25 Sin embargo, se sentirá tan poderoso que, con su gran ejército, atacará al rey del sur.
»Pero el rey del sur se le enfrentará valientemente, apoyado por su ejército grande y poderoso. Sin embargo, este rey será traicionado y no podrá resistir los ataques de sus enemigos. 26 Sus propios amigos, a quienes invitaba a comer en su propia mesa, serán la causa de su desgracia. Y así, su ejército perderá la guerra, y muchos de sus soldados perderán la vida.
27 »Estos dos reyes se sentarán a comer en la misma mesa, pero sólo pensarán en hacerse daño. Se engañarán el uno al otro, pero ninguno de los dos logrará su propósito, porque todavía no será el tiempo adecuado. 28 Después de llevar a cabo sus planes, el rey del norte regresará a su país, llevándose todo lo que ganó en la guerra.
»Pasado el tiempo, el rey del norte no cumplirá con el tratado de paz que hizo. 29 Al contrario, en el momento preciso volverá a luchar contra el rey del sur, sólo que esta vez no triunfará. 30 Vendrá en barcos un ejército del oeste, y lo atacará. Esto le dará tanto miedo que lo hará huir. Entonces les hará caso a quienes, por estar a su servicio, no cumplieron con el tratado de paz. Será tanto su odio que hará cosas terribles en contra de ese tratado.
31 »Sus soldados no respetarán el templo ni la ciudad amurallada. No permitirán que se presente la ofrenda de todos los días, y en su lugar ofrecerán algo asqueroso. 32 El rey tratará de ganarse la simpatía de los que no cumplieron con el tratado de paz, pero los que aman a su Dios se mantendrán firmes y no le harán caso.
33-35 »Los maestros del pueblo enseñarán a mucha gente a mantenerse fieles a Dios, aunque serán perseguidos. A unos los matarán, a otros los quemarán, y a otros les robarán todas sus pertenencias. Muchos de ellos serán llevados como esclavos a otros países. Mientras esto suceda, no les faltará un poco de ayuda, aunque muchos se unirán a ellos sólo por conveniencia. Todo esto sucederá como preparación, para que puedan resistir mejor otras pruebas. Pero esto durará sólo un poco de tiempo, hasta que llegue el momento final señalado por Dios.
36-37 »El rey del norte hará todo lo que quiera. Será tanto su orgullo que se creerá superior a todos los dioses. Hasta llegará a ofender gravemente al verdadero Dios. Y todo le saldrá bien, pero sólo hasta que Dios lo castigue, porque lo que Dios tiene que hacer lo hace.
38 »Este rey adorará al dios de las ciudades amuralladas, dios al que ni sus padres ni sus abuelos adoraron, y hasta le ofrecerá oro, plata, piedras preciosas y objetos de mucho valor. 39 Para defender las ciudades conquistadas, pedirá el apoyo de un ejército que adora a otros dioses. Y a todos los que le rindan honores, los recompensará con puestos muy importantes y con grandes territorios.
40 »Cuando llegue el momento final, el rey del sur atacará al rey del norte, pero éste responderá a los ataques. Saldrá al frente de carros de guerra, y de todo un ejército montado a caballo, y apoyado por muchos barcos. ¡Caerá sobre todo el país, con la fuerza de una tormenta! 41 También invadirá la tierra más hermosa, y matará a muchísimas personas; sin embargo, no les pasará nada a los que viven en Edom y Moab, ni a la mayoría de los que viven en Amón.
42 »El ejército del rey del norte conquistará varios países, y ni siquiera Egipto se escapará. 43 El rey se llevará todos los tesoros de Egipto: el oro, la plata y todas sus riquezas. Después de eso, conquistará Libia y Etiopía.
44 »Pero le llegarán noticias del este y del norte, que le darán mucho miedo. Se enojará tanto que querrá matar a muchos. 45 Entonces pondrá su campamento entre el mar y la montaña de Dios, que está en la tierra más hermosa. Allí le llegará la hora de su muerte, y nadie podrá ayudarlo.

11 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.
2 And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia. 3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. 4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.
5 And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion. 6 And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king’s daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times. 7 But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail: 8 and shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north. 9 So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.
10 But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress. 11 And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand. 12 And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it. 13 For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.
14 And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall. 15 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand. 16 But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed. 17 He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him. 18 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him. 19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.
20 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle. 21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. 22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant. 23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people. 24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time. 25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him. 26 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain. 27 And both these kings’ hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed. 28 Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter. 30 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant. 31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. 32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. 33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. 34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. 37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. 38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. 39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. 41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. 42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. 44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. 45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.
26 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
27 And both of these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
28 Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.
30 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.
31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.
45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

The Kings of the South and the North
2 “Now then, I tell you the truth:(B) Three more kings will arise in Persia, and then a fourth, who will be far richer than all the others. When he has gained power by his wealth, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece.(C) 3 Then a mighty king will arise, who will rule with great power and do as he pleases.(D) 4 After he has arisen, his empire will be broken up and parceled out toward the four winds of heaven.(E) It will not go to his descendants, nor will it have the power he exercised, because his empire will be uprooted(F) and given to others.
5 “The king of the South will become strong, but one of his commanders will become even stronger than he and will rule his own kingdom with great power. 6 After some years, they will become allies. The daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to make an alliance, but she will not retain her power, and he and his power[a] will not last. In those days she will be betrayed, together with her royal escort and her father[b] and the one who supported her.
7 “One from her family line will arise to take her place. He will attack the forces of the king of the North(G) and enter his fortress; he will fight against them and be victorious. 8 He will also seize their gods,(H) their metal images and their valuable articles of silver and gold and carry them off to Egypt.(I) For some years he will leave the king of the North alone. 9 Then the king of the North will invade the realm of the king of the South but will retreat to his own country. 10 His sons will prepare for war and assemble a great army, which will sweep on like an irresistible flood(J) and carry the battle as far as his fortress.
11 “Then the king of the South will march out in a rage and fight against the king of the North, who will raise a large army, but it will be defeated.(K) 12 When the army is carried off, the king of the South will be filled with pride and will slaughter many thousands, yet he will not remain triumphant. 13 For the king of the North will muster another army, larger than the first; and after several years, he will advance with a huge army fully equipped.
14 “In those times many will rise against the king of the South. Those who are violent among your own people will rebel in fulfillment of the vision, but without success. 15 Then the king of the North will come and build up siege ramps(L) and will capture a fortified city. The forces of the South will be powerless to resist; even their best troops will not have the strength to stand. 16 The invader will do as he pleases;(M) no one will be able to stand against him.(N) He will establish himself in the Beautiful Land and will have the power to destroy it.(O) 17 He will determine to come with the might of his entire kingdom and will make an alliance with the king of the South. And he will give him a daughter in marriage in order to overthrow the kingdom, but his plans[c] will not succeed(P) or help him. 18 Then he will turn his attention to the coastlands(Q) and will take many of them, but a commander will put an end to his insolence and will turn his insolence back on him.(R) 19 After this, he will turn back toward the fortresses of his own country but will stumble and fall,(S) to be seen no more.(T)
20 “His successor will send out a tax collector to maintain the royal splendor.(U) In a few years, however, he will be destroyed, yet not in anger or in battle.
21 “He will be succeeded by a contemptible(V) person who has not been given the honor of royalty.(W) He will invade the kingdom when its people feel secure, and he will seize it through intrigue. 22 Then an overwhelming army will be swept away(X) before him; both it and a prince of the covenant will be destroyed.(Y) 23 After coming to an agreement with him, he will act deceitfully,(Z) and with only a few people he will rise to power. 24 When the richest provinces feel secure, he will invade them and will achieve what neither his fathers nor his forefathers did. He will distribute plunder, loot and wealth among his followers.(AA) He will plot the overthrow of fortresses—but only for a time.
25 “With a large army he will stir up his strength and courage against the king of the South. The king of the South will wage war with a large and very powerful army, but he will not be able to stand because of the plots devised against him. 26 Those who eat from the king’s provisions will try to destroy him; his army will be swept away, and many will fall in battle. 27 The two kings, with their hearts bent on evil,(AB) will sit at the same table and lie(AC) to each other, but to no avail, because an end will still come at the appointed time.(AD) 28 The king of the North will return to his own country with great wealth, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant. He will take action against it and then return to his own country.
29 “At the appointed time he will invade the South again, but this time the outcome will be different from what it was before. 30 Ships of the western coastlands(AE) will oppose him, and he will lose heart.(AF) Then he will turn back and vent his fury(AG) against the holy covenant. He will return and show favor to those who forsake the holy covenant.
31 “His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple fortress and will abolish the daily sacrifice.(AH) Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation.(AI) 32 With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist(AJ) him.
33 “Those who are wise will instruct(AK) many, though for a time they will fall by the sword or be burned or captured or plundered.(AL) 34 When they fall, they will receive a little help, and many who are not sincere(AM) will join them. 35 Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined,(AN) purified and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.
The King Who Exalts Himself
36 “The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself(AO) above every god and will say unheard-of things(AP) against the God of gods.(AQ) He will be successful until the time of wrath(AR) is completed, for what has been determined must take place.(AS) 37 He will show no regard for the gods of his ancestors or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. 38 Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his ancestors he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. 39 He will attack the mightiest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him. He will make them rulers over many people and will distribute the land at a price.[d]
40 “At the time of the end the king of the South(AT) will engage him in battle, and the king of the North will storm(AU) out against him with chariots and cavalry and a great fleet of ships. He will invade many countries and sweep through them like a flood.(AV) 41 He will also invade the Beautiful Land.(AW) Many countries will fall, but Edom,(AX) Moab(AY) and the leaders of Ammon will be delivered from his hand. 42 He will extend his power over many countries; Egypt will not escape. 43 He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and all the riches of Egypt,(AZ) with the Libyans(BA) and Cushites[e] in submission. 44 But reports from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will set out in a great rage to destroy and annihilate many. 45 He will pitch his royal tents between the seas at[f] the beautiful holy mountain.(BB) Yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.
