Daniel 11

Daniel 11 contains one of the Bible's most specifically fulfilled prophecies, detailing major political and military events involving the kings of the North and South from the Persian period through end-times, including the rise of a figure who will desecrate the sanctuary, set up the abomination of desolation, and ultimately meet his end with none to help him.[1][2] The chapter emphasizes that despite these tumultuous events, those who know their God will be strong and take action, while the wise will give understanding to many.[2]
