Daniel 11:24

²² Then a flood of forces will be swept away before him and destroyed, along with a prince of the covenant.

²³ After an alliance is made with him, he will act deceitfully; for he will rise to power with only a few people.

In a time of peace, he will invade the richest provinces and do what his fathers and forefathers never did. He will lavish plunder, loot, and wealth on his followers, and he will plot against the strongholds—but only for a time.

²⁵ And with a large army he will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South, who will mobilize a very large and powerful army but will not withstand the plots devised against him.

²⁶ Those who eat from his provisions will seek to destroy him; his army will be swept away, and many will fall slain.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
