The king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods; and he shall prosper until the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done.

Allusion3
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
The man of sin who 'opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God' closely tracks Daniel's king who 'shall do as he wills, exalt himself above every god, and speak astonishing things against the God of gods.' This is the principal scriptural template for the figure.
High confidence'Blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name' echoes the king who 'shall exalt himself... and speak marvelous things against the God of gods' (Dan 11:36, lalesei... epi ton theon ton theon hyperphana). Self-deifying blasphemy plus the granted-time motif.
High confidenceThe king who exalts himself above every god and speaks against the God of gods supplies the antitype behind the Antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Daniel's blasphemous end-time figure shapes John's expectation of the coming Antichrist.
Medium confidenceEcho4
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The clause 'till the indignation is accomplished, for what is determined shall be done' supplies a sense of restraint until an appointed limit, paralleling Paul's restrainer holding back until the set time.
Low confidenceThe self-exalting blasphemy of the king who 'shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods' (Dan 11:36) feeds the blasphemous-names motif; develops in 13:5-6. Faint here, stronger later.
Low confidenceThe king who exalts himself above every god 'until the indignation is accomplished' parallels the beast-allied kings acting until God's purpose is done (cf. v.17). Faint. Hays: low.
Low confidenceEvents run 'until the indignation is accomplished, for that which is determined shall be done' — parallel to 'until the words of God should be accomplished.' Faint structural echo of decreed-end formula. Hays: low.
