Daniel 11:28-30

International Standard Version

²⁸ Then he’ll return to his homeland with great wealth, will focus his attention against the holy covenant, and will take action as he returns to his land.’”

Desecration of the Sanctuary

²⁹ “‘At the scheduled time he’ll return, moving southward, but the end result won’t be as before, ³⁰ because ships will come against him from the Mediterranean islands.^[a] Disheartened, he’ll return, incited to vehemence against the holy covenant, and he’ll take action. As he returns, he’ll show deference to those who abandon the holy covenant.
