Context — The King Who Exalts Himself
38And in their place, he will honor a god of fortresses—a god his fathers did not know—with gold, silver, precious stones, and riches.
39He will attack the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him, making them rulers over many and distributing the land for a price.
40At the time of the end, the king of the South will engage him in battle, 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.Cross References

Daniel 11:40 Summary
Daniel 11:40 describes a future battle between two powerful leaders, the king of the South and the king of the North, where the king of the North will conquer many countries quickly and decisively. This verse shows that God is in control of the nations and their leaders, as seen in Psalm 2:1-12 and Isaiah 40:15-24. The image of the flood in this verse teaches us about the power and majesty of God, and reminds us to trust in His power and protection, as seen in Psalm 23:1-6 and Proverbs 3:5-6. As we reflect on this verse, we can apply its lessons to our own lives by trusting in God's sovereignty and being prepared for the unexpected, as seen in Matthew 24:42-44 and 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the king of the South and the king of the North in Daniel 11:40?
The king of the South and the king of the North refer to two powerful leaders who will engage in battle during the end times, as described in Daniel 11:40, with the king of the North being a dominant force, as seen in Daniel 11:36-45, and the king of the South being a leader from the region of Egypt, as mentioned in Daniel 11:42.
What does it mean for the king of the North to 'sweep through them like a flood'?
This phrase, found in Daniel 11:40, means that the king of the North will conquer and overwhelm many countries quickly and decisively, much like a powerful flood, as described in Isaiah 8:7-8, where God's judgment is compared to a flood.
Is the battle described in Daniel 11:40 a spiritual or physical battle?
The battle in Daniel 11:40 appears to be a physical battle between two earthly kingdoms, but it also has spiritual implications, as the king of the North is said to honor a 'god of fortresses' in Daniel 11:38, and the ultimate victory belongs to God, as stated in Revelation 19:11-21.
How does this verse fit into the larger context of the book of Daniel?
Daniel 11:40 is part of a larger prophecy about the end times, as described in Daniel 11:36-45, and it sets the stage for the final events leading up to the return of Jesus Christ, as described in Daniel 12:1-13 and Revelation 19:11-21.

And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Daniel 11:40
At the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him; in the last times, towards the end of the world, for it cannot be true of Antiochus, who died the eleventh year of his reign, and these things are joined to the last resurrection . Therefore some understand the Turk and Saracen, who is without the church, as antichrist before mentioned sat in the temple; he extending his dominions into Asia and Africa, will be a great stop to antichrist’ s proceedings and encroachments. The king of the north shall come, & c., i.e. The Turk from the north shall invade, and run down the Saracen. — Mede.
Trapp's Commentary on Daniel 11:40
Daniel 11:40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.Ver. 40. And at the time of the end.] The year before his death. Shall the king af the south.] Ptolemy Philometer. And the king of the north.] Antiochus’ s third expedition into Egypt, in favour of Physcon. And shall overflow,] i.e., Victoriously overturn Egypt.
Ellicott's Commentary on Daniel 11:40
(40) At the time of the end.—These verses speak of the last expedition of the northern king, and of the disappearance of the king of the south. The portrait of Antiochus, as noticed in the Note on Daniel 11:36, was gradually fading away, and now not a line of it remains. No such invasion of Egypt as that mentioned here is mentioned in history. From the time mentioned in Daniel 11:30 he appears to have abstained from approaching too closely to the Roman authorities. The story related in 1Ma 3:27-37 states that on hearing of the successes of the Maccabee princes he went into Persia on a plundering expedition, leaving Lysias his representative in Palestine. Lysias was defeated at Bethsur, and the news of the overthrow of his army was brought to Antiochus while he was in Persia. So appalling was the effect upon him of these tidings, that “he fell sick for grief” (1Ma 6:8), and died. It is unnecessary to suppose that the revelation resumes the narrative from Daniel 11:29 after a parenthetic passage (Daniel 11:30-39), or to assume that we have a general recapitulation of the wars of Antiochus, described in Daniel 11:22-39, without distinguishing the different campaigns. (For a good account of Antiochus, see Judas Maccabœus, by C. R.
Conder, R. E., Daniel 3.) Time of the end.—Comp. Daniel 8:17. The words mean the end of the world, with which (Daniel 11:45) the end of this king coincides. The word “push” occurs also in Daniel 8:4, and from the context it may be inferred that the southern king begins the last conflict, in the course of which both kings come to an end.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Daniel 11:40
Verse 40. At the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him] These kings are to be understood in reference to the times of which the prophet speaks. While the kingdoms of Egypt and Syria were subsisting, the king of the south and the north applied to them exclusively: but they did not exist at the time of which the prophet speaks; therefore other southern and northern powers must be sought. These we may find in the Saracens, who were of the Arabians, who came from the south, headed by the false prophet Mohammed, who pushed at him-made war on the Greek emperor Heraclius, and with amazing rapidity deprived him of Egypt, Syria, and many of his finest provinces. And the king of the north] The Turks, who were originally Scythians, seized on the remains of the Greek empire; and in process of time rendered themselves masters of the whole. They are represented as coming like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen; their armies being chiefly composed of cavalry. And with many ships] With these they got possession of many islands and maritime countries; and were so powerful in their fleets, that they entirely defeated the Venetians; and at last their fleets became of the utmost consequence to them in besieging, and afterwards taking, Constantinople, A.D. 1453, which they hold to the present day. So they entered into the countries, and overflowed, rendering themselves masters of all Asia Minor and Greece.
