In the details

After Daniel 11:21-12:3 

The vision continues,

a roll call of reigns,

a litany of brokenness,

defeats, deceit, plunder,

spoil, war, evil, lies,

despotism, destruction,

profanity, desolation, 

sword and flame,

idolatry, self-worship,

corruption, division,

vengeance, retribution,

a succession of defeats,

the way of the world,

all this foreseen and

spoken in the vision,

the dream, in detail.
