“He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.”
He will come into the glorious land, and many countries will fall into his hand except Edom and Moab and the main part of the Ammonites, which will escape from his hand—describing the king of the north's invasion of Judea and surrounding territories, with some regions escaping domination, possibly indicating either Seleucid weakness at that point or God's protection of certain peoples. The glorious land (Judea) becomes the theater of final conflict. The partial escape of neighboring peoples suggests limitations even on the final-time kings.
