Daniel 11:40-45
New English Translation

40 “At the time of the end the king of the south will attack[a] him. Then the king of the north will storm against him[b] with chariots, horsemen, and a large armada of ships.[c] He[d] will invade lands, passing through them like an overflowing river.[e] 41 Then he will enter the beautiful land.[f] Many[g] will fall, but these will escape:[h] Edom, Moab, and the Ammonite leadership. 42 He will extend his power[i] against other lands; the land of Egypt will not escape. 43 He will have control over the hidden stores of gold and silver, as well as all the treasures of Egypt. Libyans and Ethiopians[j] will submit to him.[k] 44 But reports will trouble him from the east and north, and he will set out in a tremendous rage to destroy and wipe out many. 45 He will pitch his royal tents between the seas[l] toward the beautiful holy mountain. But he will come to his end, with no one to help him.

The Time of the End

40 “At the time of the end the king of the south shall attack him. But the king of the north shall rush upon him like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen and with many ships.
