Daniel 11:21-23
Living Bible
21 “Next to come to power will be an evil man not directly in line for royal succession.[a] But during a crisis he will take over the kingdom by flattery and intrigue. 22 Then all opposition will be swept away before him, including a leader of the priests.[b] 23 His promises will be worthless. From the first his method will be deceit; with a mere handful of followers, he will become strong.
