Gabriel Gives Angelic Help And Interprets The Vision

23 “In the latter period of their rule,
When the transgressors have run their course,
A king will arise,
Insolent and skilled in intrigue.

And he will destroy to an extraordinary degree
And prosper and perform his will;
He will destroy mighty men and the holy people.

He will cause deceit to succeed by his influence;
And he will magnify himself in his heart,
And he will destroy many while they are at ease.

But he will be broken without human agency.
