Dan.11.36

Meanwhile, the king of the north will do whatever he pleases. He'll puff himself up and posture himself as greater than any god. He will even dare to brag and boast in defiance of the God of gods. And he'll get by with it for a while--until this time of wrathful judgment is completed, for what is decreed must be done.

Dan.11.36

"The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place.

Dan.11.36

"Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall 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.

Dan.11.36

"The king will do as he pleases, exalting himself and claiming to be greater than every god there is, even blaspheming the God of gods. He will succeed--until the time of wrath is completed. For what has been determined will surely take place.

Dan.11.37

He will have no respect for the gods of his ancestors, not even that popular favorite among women, Adonis. Contemptuous of every god and goddess, the king of the north will puff himself up greater than all of them.

Dan.11.37

He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all.

Dan.11.37

He will have no regard for the gods of his ancestors, or for the god beloved of women, or for any other god, for he will boast that he is greater than them all.

Dan.11.38

He'll even stoop to despising the God of the holy ones, and in the place where God is worshiped he will put on exhibit, with a lavish show of silver and gold and jewels, a new god that no one has ever heard of.

Dan.11.38

Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his fathers he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts.

Dan.11.38

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.

Dan.11.38

Instead of these, he will worship the god of fortresses--a god his ancestors never knew--and lavish on him gold, silver, precious stones, and costly gifts.

Dan.11.39

Marching under the banner of a strange god, he will attack the key fortresses. He will promote everyone who falls into line behind this god, putting them in positions of power and paying them off with grants of land.

Dan.11.39

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.

Dan.11.39

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 gain.

Dan.11.39

Claiming this foreign god's help, he will attack the strongest fortresses. He will honor those who submit to him, appointing them to positions of authority and dividing the land among them as their reward.

Dan.11.40

In the final wrap-up of this story, the king of the south will confront him. But the king of the north will come at him like a tornado. Unleashing chariots and horses and an armada of ships, he'll blow away anything in his path.

Dan.11.40

"At the time of the end the king of the South will engage him in battle, and the king of the North will storm 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.

"Then at the time of the end, the king of the south will attack him, and the king of the north will storm out against him with chariots, cavalry, and a vast navy. He will invade various lands and sweep through them like a flood.

Dan.11.41

As he enters the beautiful land, people will fall before him like dominoes. Only Edom, Moab, and a few Ammonites will escape.

Dan.11.41

He will also invade the Beautiful Land. Many countries will fall, but Edom, Moab and the leaders of Ammon will be delivered from his hand.

Dan.11.41

He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of Ammon.

Dan.11.41

He will enter the glorious land of Israel, and many nations will fall, but Moab, Edom, and the best part of Ammon will escape.

Dan.11.42

As he reaches out, grabbing country after country, not even Egypt will be exempt.

Dan.11.42

He will extend his power over many countries; Egypt will not escape.

Dan.11.42

He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

Dan.11.42

He will conquer many countries, and Egypt will not escape.

Dan.11.43

He will confiscate the treasuries of Egyptian gold and silver and other valuables. The Libyans and Ethiopians will fall in with him.

Dan.11.43

He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and all the riches of Egypt, with the Libyans and Nubians in submission.

Dan.11.43

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 at his heels.

Dan.11.43

He will gain control over the gold, silver, and treasures of Egypt, and the Libyans and Ethiopians will be his servants.

Dan.11.44

Then disturbing reports will come in from the north and east that will throw him into a panic. Towering in rage, he'll rush to stamp out the threat.

Dan.11.44

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.

Dan.11.44

But news from the east and the north shall trouble him; therefore he shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many.

Dan.11.44

"But then news from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will set out in great anger to destroy many as he goes.

Dan.11.45

But he'll no sooner have pitched camp between the Mediterranean Sea and the Holy Mountain--all those royal tents!-than he'll meet his end. And not a soul around who can help!

Dan.11.45

He will pitch his royal tents between the seas at the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.

Dan.11.45

And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and no one will help him.

He will halt between the glorious holy mountain and the sea and will pitch his royal tents there, but while he is there, his time will suddenly run out, and there will be no one to help him.

Dan.12.1

That's when Michael, the great angel-prince, champion of your people, will step in. It will be a time of trouble, the worst trouble the world has ever seen. But your people will be saved from the trouble, every last one found written in the Book.

Dan.12.1

"At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people-everyone whose name is found written in the book-will be delivered.

Dan.12.1

"At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; 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 shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book.

Dan.12.1

This is a confidential report, Daniel, for your eyes and ears only. Keep it secret. Put the book under lock and key until the end. In the interim there is going to be a lot of frantic running around, trying to figure out what's going on.' [JC]

Dan.12.4

"As I, Daniel, took all this in, two figures appeared, one standing on this bank of the river and one on the other bank.

Then I, Daniel, looked, and there before me stood two others, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank.

Dan.12.5

Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that riverbank.

Dan.12.6

One of them asked a third man who was dressed in linen and who straddled the river, "How long is this astonishing story to go on?'

Dan.12.6

One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, "How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?"

Dan.12.6

And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, "How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?"

Dan.12.6

One of them asked the man dressed in linen, who was now standing above the river, "How long will it be until these shocking events happen?"

Dan.12.7

"The man dressed in linen, who straddled the river, raised both hands to the skies. I heard him solemnly swear by the Eternal One that it would be a time, two times, and half a time, that when the oppressor of the holy people was brought down the story would be complete.

Dan.12.7

The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, "It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed."

Dan.12.7

Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.

Dan.12.7

Dan.12.8

"I heard all this plainly enough, but I didn't understand it. So I asked, "Master, can you explain this to me?'

Dan.12.8

I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, "My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?"

Dan.12.8

Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, "My lord, what shall be the end of these things?"

Dan.12.8

I heard what he said, but I did not understand what he meant. So I asked, "How will all this finally end, my lord?"

Dan.12.9

Go on about your business, Daniel,' he said. "The message is confidential and under lock and key until the end, until things are about to be wrapped up.

Dan.12.9

He replied, "Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.

Dan.12.9
