Daniel 11:40-45

New International Reader's Version

⁴⁰ “A king in the south will go to war against him. It will happen at the time of the end. The king who will honor himself will rush out against him. He will come with chariots and horsemen. He will attack with a lot of ships. He will lead his army into many countries. He will sweep through them like a flood. ⁴¹ He will also march into the beautiful land of Israel. Many countries will fall. But Edom, Moab and the leaders of Ammon will be saved from his mighty hand. ⁴² His power will reach out into many countries. Even Egypt will not escape. ⁴³ He will gain control of all Egypt’s riches. He will take their gold and silver treasures. The people of Libya and Cush will be under his control. ⁴⁴ But reports from the east and the north will terrify him. He will march out with great anger to destroy many people and wipe them out. ⁴⁵ He will set up his royal tents. He will put them between the Mediterranean Sea and the beautiful holy mountain of Zion. But his end will come. And no one will help him.
