Uriah Smith über: "Prophetic Role of the King of the South in the End Times"
Answer
The King of the South is traditionally identified with Egypt in the Adventist interpretation of Uriah Smith, based on the geographic division of the empire of Alexander the Great. In the end times this power again enters into conflict with the King of the North (identified with Turkey) and a third power that emerged during the French Revolution. This prophetic framework points to geopolitical entanglements that ultimately lead to the full fulfillment of the visions in Daniel 11.
Identification of the King of the South
The King of the South was at that time Egypt, and the King of the North was Syria... Egypt is, by general agreement, still the King of the South, while the territory that originally formed the King of the North has been fully under the rule of the Sultan of Turkey for four hundred years.
Conflicts between North and South
And he will muster his power and his courage against the King of the South with a great army; and the King of the South will be provoked to battle with a very large and mighty army; but he will not stand firm...
The Role of Egypt in History
And the King of the South will be strong, and one of his princes; and he will be stronger than he and will have dominion; his dominion will be a great dominion.
Future Fulfillment of the Prophecy
We have now followed the prophecy of Daniel 11 step by step... Everything has been fulfilled in history, except this last verse. Since the predictions of the preceding verse were fulfilled within the memory of the currently living generation, we are led by this one verse beyond our own time into the future.
The Triple War at the End of Time
End time, 1798 – Triple war between Egypt, France, and Turkey – Napoleon’s dream of eastern glory – He redirects the war from England to Egypt... Turkey, the King of the North, declares war on France... Egypt under the control of Turkey.
