What Does Daniel 11:15 Mean?
The northern king presses his advantage with siege works, throwing up a ramp and taking even the most strongly fortified cities. The southern army, including its chosen troops, cannot hold; there is simply no strength left to withstand him. Walls that seemed impregnable fall, and the best soldiers prove unequal to the day.
Human defenses have their limit. The strongest fortress is only as secure as the strength behind it, and that strength can fail in an hour. Scripture turns the eye from city walls to the Lord Himself as the true stronghold of His people. 'The name of the LORD is a strong tower,' wrote the wise, and into that refuge the righteous run when every earthly wall has fallen.
