Daniel 11:19-21
New Catholic Bible
19 He shall then turn back to the strongholds of his own land, but he will stumble and fall, never to be seen again. 20 His successor[a] shall send forth a tax collector throughout the glorious kingdom, but within a short time this king will also be overthrown and meet his end, although not in anger or in battle.
21 Antiochus IV Epiphanes.“His place shall be taken by a despicable creature upon whom the royal insignia shall not be conferred. Rather, he will come forth without any warning and seize the kingdom through stealth and fraud.
