“At the time of the end the king of the south will attack ¹  him. Then the king of the north will storm against him ²  with chariots, horsemen, and a large armada of ships. ³  He ⁴  will invade lands, passing through them like an overflowing river. ⁵

Then, when the power of the one who shatters ²  the holy people has been exhausted, all these things will be finished.”
