Israel won at war but lost at peace

When the transgressors have reached their fullness, A king shall arise,
Having fierce features,Who understands sinister schemes.
His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power;
He shall destroy fearfully,And shall prosper and thrive;
He shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people.
“ Through his cunning He shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule; And he shall exalt himself in his heart.
He shall destroy many in their prosperity.
He shall even rise against the Prince of princes;But he shall be broken without human means.

“ And the vision of the evenings and mornings Which was told is true;
Therefore seal up the vision,For it refers to many days in the future.”
And I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for days; afterward I arose and went about the king’s business. I was astonished by the vision, but no one understood it.
