“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, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.”
At the time of the end the king of the south will push at him; and the king of the north will rush upon him like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen and a great navy; he will enter the countries and overflow and pass through—initiating the prophecy's final eschatological section by describing ultimate conflict between southern and northern powers, with the northern king advancing with overwhelming military force across territories. The temporal marker "at the time of the end" signals transition to final events. The overwhelming assault imagery emphasizes irresistible force.
