Daniel 11:42 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 11:42

He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries
Before mentioned, and take possession of them and rule over them, as the Turk does to this day: and the land of Egypt shall not escape;
the hands of the Turk by whom it was taken from the Mamalucs; and is now a province of the Turkish empire, and governed by a Turkish basha, with twenty four princes under him ^F1. This was not true of Antiochus, who, after he had been checked by the Romans, never entered into Egypt, and much less became master of it, as the Turk now is.

Daniel 11:42 In-Context

40 "In the end times the southern king will attack him. The northern king will rush at him like a storm with chariots, horses, and many ships. He will invade countries, overwhelm them, and pass through their land.

41 He will invade the beautiful land, and tens of thousands will be defeated. But Edom, Moab, and the leaders of the Ammonites will escape from his power.

42 He will use his power against many countries. Even Egypt will not escape.

43 He will control gold and silver treasures and all Egypt's treasuries. Libya and Sudan will surrender to him.

44 But news from the east and the north will frighten him. He will leave very angry to destroy and exterminate many.
