With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him.

Daniel 11:32

He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior… He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them.

Daniel 8:25, 2 Thess 2:10

… a despicable person will arise… a man of contempt… to whom the royal honor has not been rightfully conferred. He will slip in when least expected and will seize the kingdom through flattery and intrigue.

Daniel 11:21

After an alliance is made with him he will practice deception, and he will go up and gain power with a small force of people.

Daniel 11:23

He will try to change the set times and the laws.

Dan. 7:25

Daniel 8 and 11 here are talking about a prophecy that has already “been fulfilled” - common in the Bible to make these kinds of retroactive prophecies. The bad guy being described there is Antiochus.

That is just Daniel 8. Daniel 11 could reasonably be talking about modern times
