Daniel 11 — Context

1

“And so, from the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood firm, so that he might be reinforced and strengthened.

2

And now I will announce to you the truth. Behold, up to a certain point, three kings will stand in Persia, and the fourth will be exceedingly enriched in power above them all. And when he has grown strong by his resources, he will stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.

3

But there will rise up a strong king, and he will rule with great power, and he will do what he pleases.

4

And when he has been firmly established, his kingdom will be shattered and will be divided towards the four winds of the heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his power with which he ruled. For his kingdom will be torn to pieces, even for the outsiders who have been expelled from these.
