Daniel

Daniel 11:40–45

⁴⁰At the time of the end, the king of the South will engage him in battle,ⁱ but the king of the North will storm out against him with chariots, horsemen, and many ships, invading many countries and sweeping through them like a flood. ⁴¹He will also invade the Beautiful Land, and many countries will fall. But these will be delivered from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the leaders of the Ammonites.

⁴²He will extend his power over many countries, and not even the land of Egypt will escape. ⁴³He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and over all the riches of Egypt, and the Libyans and Cushites^j will also submit to him.

⁴⁴But news from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will go out with great fury to destroy many and devote them to destruction.^k ⁴⁵He will pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain, but he will meet his end with no one to help him.’’
