“At the time of the end,
The king of the south
Shall attack him.
But the king of the north
Shall rush upon him
Like a whirlwind,
With chariots,
With horsemen,
With many ships.
He shall advance
Against countries.
He shall pass through
Like a flood.”
Gabriel then made another prediction about King Antiochus IV. He said that the king of the south, King Ptolemy V, would invade the north, but be defeated because of the great military of King Antiochus with his chariots, horsemen, and ships. In fact, this northern king would advance through countries like a moving flood storm. This apparently never happened, as opposed to the preceding that actually took place.
