Daniel 11:15 — English ERV 2006 - Only For Website
Then the northern king will come. He will build ramps against the walls and capture a strong city. The southern army will not have the power to fight back. Even the best soldiers from the southern army will not be strong enough to stop the northern army.
What Does This Mean?
This verse describes how the king from the north will attack with great force and take over strong cities, while the forces of the south cannot resist him effectively. The speaker is Daniel predicting these events based on visions he received.
Explained for Children
Imagine two teams playing a game where one team (the northern team) brings lots of big blocks to make walls around their opponent's strongest forts. No matter how hard the other team tries, they can't stop the northern team from taking over those forts.
Historical Background
The book of Daniel was written by Daniel, a high-ranking official in Babylon and Persia, during his captivity. This section is part of a prophecy about future conflicts between kings from the north and south that would affect God's people in Judea.
Living It Out Today
