Anyway, I think that the “king of the north” is referencing western Europe. After the “ten kings”
received their power, they were as “one mind.” (Rev. 17:13) Therefore, as one unified nation,
they could be referred to as a “king.” And the nations of the Roman Empire are north.
Who is the “king of the south” actually attacking? Daniel 11:40 doesn’t really say that the
“king of the south” is attacking Israel. As I said earlier, Egypt does have a treaty with them. Of
course, that could be broken. However, the passage seems to indicate that the “king of the south”
is attacking the “king of the north.” Apparently the European Federation will have a
protectionary force (peace keepers) in place in the Middle East, and this is who the attack will be
directed at. The “king of the north” will then respond with a major ground and naval offensive.
However, in the process of putting down this rebellion, “many countries shall be overthrown.”
(Dan. 11:41). It is stated that Edom, Moab, and Ammon will not be affected. Ironically, they,
along with the Israelites, Arabians, Ishmaelites, and Midianites were the descendants of
Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the middle son of Noah. Their land was on the eastern shore of the
Dead Sea, in an area now occupied by the country of Jordan. It is logical to assume that the
countries involved will be Arab countries, especially in light of the fact that he moves on the
country of Egypt and takes spoils. (Dan. 11:42) At this point, Libya and Ethiopia come to the aid
of Egypt.
It is apparent by this time that since Egypt had broken the covenant, all bets are off, as the
European military force has responded with extreme prejudice. This upheaval in diplomacy now
creates an unstable condition world-wide as an aura of war is manifested. Daniel 11:44-45 says:
“But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with
great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. And he shall plant the tabernacles of his
palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain…” He will withdraw from Egypt, killing
as many people as he can, before doubling back to Jerusalem. This is the beginning of the end.
Abomination of Desolation
“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the
prophet, stand in the holy place...” (Matthew 24:15)
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a
falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth
and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God
sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God,” (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4)
“And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that
maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is
he that waiteth and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.”
(Daniel 12:11-12)
“And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and
power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in
blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell
in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints and to overcome
them...” (Revelation 13:5-7)
