Daniel 11:40-41

DANIEL—NOTE ON Daniel 11:40 At the time of the end there will be a major battle where armies will come from the north and the south to attack this powerful ruler in the land of Israel (the glorious land). Edom and Moab and the main part of the Ammonites will escape from him, possibly because of their connection with Israel or because they are out of his way.
