What Does Daniel 11:43 Mean?
His mastery of Egypt is total: he seizes its hoarded treasures of gold and silver and all its precious things, and the Libyans and Ethiopians to the west and south fall in at his heels. The wealth of nations flows into his hand, and distant peoples march in his train. He stands, it seems, at the summit of the world.
Heaped-up gold and a following of nations, these are the trophies of earthly greatness at its peak. Yet Scripture has shown again and again how little such treasure secures. The man who can carry off the riches of Egypt cannot purchase a single day beyond his appointed end. Wealth and conquest, gathered to their fullest, prove powerless at the one border no king can cross.
