What dangers threaten us? A great help for us can be Daniel's vision. The details of this vision tell us where we are in the stream of time.

Daniel 11:2 - Cambyses II, Bardiya (Greek: Smerdis), Darius I, Xerxes I.

Daniel 11:3, 4 - Alexander the Great.

Daniel 11:7-9 - The king of the north = Seleucus II Callinicus. The king of the south = Ptolemy III Euergetes.

Daniel 11:10-19 - The king of the north = Antiochus III the Great. The king of the south = Ptolemy IV Philopator (11:10-12); Ptolemy V Epiphanes (11:13-17).

Daniel 11:14b, (LITV) "And the sons of the violent ones of your people shall rise up to establish the vision [to fulfill the vision (KJ2000)], but they shall stumble." = the Maccabean revolt. (Compare Matthew 24:15; Daniel 10:14)

Daniel 11:20 - The king of the north = Augustus.

"And both these kings, their hearts (will be) to do mischief, and at one table (they) will speak a lie. But it will not succeed, for yet (the) limit to (the) appointed time." (literal translation) It certainly suggests that the verse does not relate to the ancient times. It describes the end of times right before the appointed time. (Compare Daniel 11:29a)

In the nineteenth century, Russia expanded its influence in the region, which previously belonged to Seleucus I Nicator, and took the role of the king of the north. The king of the south = the United Kingdom.

Matthew 24:5 - "For many will come in the name of me, saying: 'I am the anointed'; and many they will mislead." Luke 21:8b - "for many will come in my name, saying, 'I am'; and 'The appointed time has approached' [The time is at hand, (ASV)]. Do not go after them." Among of these usurpers are Joseph Smith, Ellen Gould White, Charles Taze Russell.

Daniel 11:28 = Russia after the Second World War.

"And (he) will go back (to) his land with great wealth [1945]; and his heart (will be) against the holy covenant [state atheism]; and will act; and turned back to his own land [it also means the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact]." (literal translation)

Daniel 11:29, 30a - "At the appointed time [the king of the north] will return back [it also means the disintegration of the European Union and NATO] and come into the south [probably will be this Georgia], but it will not be as the former [1921] or as the latter [2008]. For the dwellers of coastlands of Kittim [the West] will come against him, and he will be humbled, and will return."

Numbers 24:24a - "And--ships [are] from the side of Chittim [US Navy], And they have humbled Asshur [Russia], And they have humbled Eber [remaining enemies]." (YLT)

Daniel 11:29b, 30a = Matthew 24:7 = The Third World War.
