are complete, a rash

He will destroy powerful people and the people of the holy ones.

Daniel 11:21-25
11:21 “Then there will arise in his place a despicable person to whom the royal honor has not been rightfully conferred. He will come on the scene in a time of prosperity and will seize the kingdom through deceit.
11:22 Armies will be suddenly swept away in defeat before him; both they and a covenant leader will be destroyed.
11:23 After entering into an alliance with him, he will behave treacherously; he will ascend to power with only a small force.
11:24 In a time of prosperity for the most productive areas of the province he will come and accomplish what neither his fathers nor their fathers accomplished. He will distribute loot, spoils, and property to his followers, and he will devise plans against fortified cities, but not for long.
11:25 He will rouse his strength and enthusiasm against the king of the south with a large army. The king of the south will wage war with a large and very powerful army, but he will not be able to prevail because of the plans devised against him.

those who have rejected
the covenant. But the people who are loyal to
their God will act valiantly.

However, they will fall
by the sword and by the flame,
and they will be imprisoned and plundered for some time.
