'When the transgressors have reached their full measure (pleroumenon ton hamartion), a king... shall arise.' Daniel applies the filling-up-of-sins idea to an eschatological crisis preceding wrath, matching Paul's 'fill up their sins always... wrath has come.' Reinforces Genesis 15:16 within a second-temple judgment framework.
