The Antichrist s Reign Daniel 11 Dan. 11:40 At the end time the king of the South will collide with him, and the king of the North will storm against him with chariots, with horsemen and with many ships; and he will enter countries, overflow them and pass through. Dan. 11:41 He will also enter the Beautiful Land, and many countries will fall; but these will be rescued out of his hand: Edom, Moab and the foremost of the sons of Ammon. Dan. 11:42 Then he will stretch out his hand against other countries, and the land of Egypt will not escape. Dan. 11:43 But he will gain control over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and over all the precious things of Egypt; and Libyans and Ethiopians will follow at his heels. Dan. 11:44 But rumors from the East and from the North will disturb him, and he will go forth with great wrath to destroy and annihilate many. Dan. 11:45 He will pitch the tents of his royal pavilion between the seas and the beautiful Holy Mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him. 19-11
