Gentile kingdoms won’t last. God will use their persecutions to purify His people, bring about the destruction of these kingdoms, & finally bring about Christ’s Return. God’s people will be delivered & glorified. 5

21 In his place a despicable person will arise, on whom the honor of kingship has not been conferred, but he will come in a time of tranquility & seize the kingdom by intrigue. 22 The overflowing forces will be flooded away before him & shattered, & also the prince of the covenant. 13
23 After an alliance is made with him he will practice deception, & he will go up & gain power with a small force of people. 24 In a time of tranquility he will enter the richest parts of the realm, & he will accomplish what his fathers never did, nor his ancestors; he will distribute plunder, booty & possessions among them, & he will devise his schemes against strongholds, but 14
25 He will stir up his strength & courage against the king of the South with a large army; so the king of the South will mobilize an extremely large & mighty army for war; but he will not stand, for schemes will be devised against him. 26 Those who eat his choice food will destroy him, & his army will overflow, but many will fall down slain. 15
