Context — The King Who Exalts Himself
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.
43He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and over all the riches of Egypt, and the Libyans and Cushites will also submit to him.
44But news from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will go out with great fury to destroy many and devote them to destruction. 45He will pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain, but he will meet his end with no one to help him.Cross References

Daniel 11:43 Summary
This verse means that the king will have complete control over Egypt's wealth and resources, giving him significant power and influence. This is similar to how God describes the power of worldly kingdoms in Daniel 2:36-45, where they are shown to be strong but ultimately fleeting. The king's success is a reminder that true power and wisdom come from God, as taught in Proverbs 3:5-6 and James 1:5. As we reflect on this verse, we can be encouraged to trust in God's sovereignty and provision, rather than in human power and wealth, as taught in Psalm 20:7 and 1 Timothy 6:17-19.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that the king will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and over all the riches of Egypt?
This means that the king will have complete power over Egypt's wealth and resources, giving him significant economic and military advantage, much like the power described in Ezekiel 28:4-5 where the king of Tyre is described as having great wealth and power.
Who are the Libyans and Cushites mentioned in this verse?
The Libyans and Cushites were neighboring countries to Egypt, and their submission to the king indicates the breadth of his conquests and control, as also seen in the conquests of other powerful leaders like Nebuchadnezzar in Jeremiah 25:9 and 27:3.
How does this verse relate to the larger context of Daniel 11?
This verse is part of a larger description of the king's conquests and military campaigns, and it highlights his success in gaining control over a significant portion of the known world, much like the descriptions of the rise and fall of empires in Daniel 2:36-45 and Daniel 7:1-8.
What is the significance of the king's control over Egypt's riches?
The king's control over Egypt's riches signifies his dominance over a major world power at the time, and it foreshadows the eventual rise and fall of empires as described in Revelation 18:3 and 10, where the wealth and power of nations are ultimately judged by God.
Reflection Questions
- What does this verse reveal about the nature of human power and ambition, and how does it relate to the warnings in 1 Corinthians 4:7 and James 4:13-16?
- How does the king's success in conquering Egypt and its neighbors reflect the spiritual state of the world at that time, and what does it teach us about the importance of seeking God's wisdom and guidance as in Proverbs 3:5-6 and James 1:5?
- In what ways can we see the hand of God at work in the rise and fall of human empires, even in a verse like Daniel 11:43, and what does this teach us about His sovereignty and our role in His plan, as described in Romans 11:33-36 and Isaiah 46:9-10?
- How does this verse encourage us to trust in God's sovereignty and provision, rather than in human power and wealth, as taught in Psalm 20:7 and 1 Timothy 6:17-19?
