“And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.”
He will pitch his palatial tents between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him—prophesying the northern king's advance into Judea and positioning near the Temple Mount, followed by his ultimate and sudden destruction with no possibility of rescue or assistance. The positioning "between the sea and the glorious holy mountain" emphasizes territorial claim over the very center of Jewish religious identity. The assured death without help affirms divine judgment.
