The whole chapter, actually, should be read. It's couched entirely in parabolic language. It's set at the end of the world.

I believe this is referring to the antichrist. The big nasty one. The one spoken of in Revelations. He plants his tabernacle in the Holy Mountain. When Jesus comes back, He is fried.
Also the chapter is about Persia & that is believed to be Iran right now. It would take some time to study it.

It means...
Read a different book! Put down that Bible and read something else...really.
Maybe you could start with the now 170 year old title "The Origin of Species" written by the Rev. Charles Darwin...yes he was an Anglican priest. This is a dangerous text because it blows the concept that Humans were some how "created" separately from everything else.
Or perhaps something from the last century...you know the 20th century..that seems to have passed you by. "A Brief History of Time" by Stephan Hawking...which probably has way too much math...so I'm sure you will avoid the headache.
Ok...How about this...find some used college textbooks like "Biology 101", "Basic Physics", "Chemistry 101" and "Physical Geography 101". That should get you occupied for a year or two giving you ample time to kick the Bible addiction.
...get tuned up a little...and quit reading authors from 5000 years ago when the world didn't know sh** and people thought dreams came from God.

This king shall have control over the economy, over the people and all things precious to the people as a nation, whether religion, family, etc. He is about to oppress countries and destroy many nations.
The people that are following on his heels are those that support his cause and believe in what he's doing. They will help him annihilate those whom he desires to be rid of, and oppress those whom the king commands to oppress. The king's wish is their command.
He is like the Antichrist that is not yet revealed but is to come. When he comes, he will control everything and everyone, and destroy those that oppose him. He will have many supporters to back him up.

Continue reading into Daniel 12.... (the end times).
Note it says in Danile 12:10 that..."None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand...."
So, say goodbye to the almighty IQ you hold so dear.

Not a bible scholar. But it sounds to me that the antichrist is going to get control of the world's wealth.
