“In the time of the end the king of the south will engage with him in a pushing, and against him the king of the north will storm with chariots and horsemen and many ships; and he will enter into the lands and sweep through like a flood. (Daniel 11:40 NWT)
in the book Your Will Be Done On Earth (1958 WTB&TS) talking of the king of the north on page 297 it says,
Down to the "time of the end" at Armageddon there will be competitive coexistence between the "two kings". In some way the king of the south must act, whether preventively ot protectively.
further on, on page 303 of the same publication it tells us,
How far the king of the north will have got when he reaches his "time of the end" the future will tell. But he is predicted to gain control over the treasures of gold, silver and all the precious things of this commercialized, materialistic world, including oil.
I felt this could be it, might as well stop working and go home have a drink or two.
