TSK · Daniel 11:4

that the elation of the wicked is brief, the joy of the godless lasts but a moment.

Surely people go through life as mere ghosts. Surely they accumulate worthless wealth without knowing who will eventually haul it away.”

Then I entered the precincts of God’s temple, and understood the destiny of the wicked.

A man who is all alone with no companion, he has no children nor siblings; yet there is no end to all his toil, and he is never satisfied with riches. He laments,“For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?” This also is futile and a burdensome task!

But I will completely uproot and destroy any of those nations that will not pay heed,’” says the LORD.

The whole valley where dead bodies and sacrificial ashes are thrown and all the terraced fields out to the Kidron Valley on the east as far north as the corner of the Horse Gate will be included within this city that is sacred to the LORD. The city will never again be torn down or destroyed.”

Daniel explained:“I was watching in my vision during the night as the four winds of the sky were stirring up the great sea.

“As I was contemplating the horns, another horn– a small one– came up between them, and three of the former horns were torn out by the roots to make room for it. This horn had eyes resembling human eyes and a mouth speaking arrogant things.

The horn that was broken and in whose place there arose four others stands for four kingdoms that will arise from his nation, though they will not have his strength.

But God said to him,‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded back from you, but who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’
