*The remainder of this prophecy is very difficult,
and commentators differ much respecting it.
In Daniel 11 ------
In Deuteronomy 2&3 -----
The 2 Kings ----
South (spiritual Egypt-atheistic world) known for atheism & sodomy .... spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Revelation 11:8
What did Pharaoh say? And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, Exodus 5:2
Q: Have we seen the rise of "Egypt" in America? YES--with the rise of secularism leading to the open celebration of sodomy (gay marriage-mania) sweeping the land to the point of persecuting Christians who resist participation in gay marriages or those who call the sin-sin....
North (spiritual Babylon-apostate Christianity) known for false doctrines which lead to the mark of the beast .... having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Revelation 17:4,5
and commentators differ much respecting it.
In Daniel 11 ------
2 Kings
(of the North & South) ...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, Daniel 11:40

3 Nations
(Moab, Edom & Ammon) ...are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir;Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; / Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; / And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; Deuteronomy2:4,5,9,19The 2 Kings ----
South (spiritual Egypt-atheistic world) known for atheism & sodomy .... spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Revelation 11:8
What did Pharaoh say? And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, Exodus 5:2

Revelation 17:4,5
Q: Will "Babylon" in America push back against "Egypt"? Yep...... do we now hear some saying we need to get back to morals? Couple that with natural disasters leading to a call to get back to God.
Don't FEAR the 2 Kings--take the MESSAGE to the 3 nations..
But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west;
they shall spoil them of the east together:
they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab;
and the children of Ammon shall obey them. Isaiah 11:14
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven,
having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth,
and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Revelation 14:6
EDOM= The Beast (Papacy of the confederation of Babylon--totally destroyed)
see prophecy of Jeremiah 49:9-22 & Obadiah against Edom
MOAB= Those scattered in spiritual Babylon's apostate Protestant churches (some will come to the faith)
see prophecy of Jeremiah 48 against Moab
AMMON= The political leaders who followed Babylon (The "Chief" of their children & the capital {political seat of power} in Jeremiah is targeted-some will come to the faith)
see prophecy of Jeremiah 49:1-6 against Ammon
*Sidenote--interesting that Edom (Papacy/Beast) & Moab (Apostate Protestants/False Prophet) were united (Spiritual Babylon) against God's people under the spiritualism of Balaam (Dragon) in the book of Numbers.... and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, ...And Edom shall be a possession... Numbers 24:17,18
*Sidenote--as for political leaders {"chief"'s of Ammon}--- "While many of our rulers are active agents of Satan, God also has His agents among the leading men of the nation. The enemy moves upon his servants to propose measures that would greatly impede the work of God; but statesmen who fear the Lord are influenced by holy angels to oppose such propositions with unanswerable arguments. Thus a few men will hold in check a powerful current of evil. The opposition of the enemies of truth will be restrained that the third angel's message may do its work. When the final warning shall be given, it will arrest the attention of these leading men through whom the Lord is now working, and some of them will accept it, and will stand with the people of God through the time of trouble."
