Daniel 11:2-4

International Standard Version

International Conflicts to Come

² “‘Now I’ll tell you the truth: Pay attention! Three more kings will arise in Persia. Then a fourth will gain more than them all. As soon as he gains power by means of his wealth, he’ll stir up everyone against the Grecian kingdoms.

³ “‘A mighty king will come to power, and he’ll rule with awesome energy, doing whatever he pleases. ⁴ However, after he has come to power, his kingdom will be broken and parceled out in all directions.^[a] It won’t go to his succeeding descendants, nor will its power match how he ruled, because his sovereignty will be uprooted and given to successors besides them.
