What does Daniel 11:43 mean?

A figure described as a "king of the north" (Daniel 11:40) is prophesied to bring a coalition of armies through Israel and against Egypt (Daniel 11:41–42). This is part of a message given to Daniel (Daniel 10:1) regarding events in the end times just before God's final judgment. This verse indicates this leader gaining tremendous wealth by his conquests. He either dominates or absorbs the Cushites and Libyans; Cush corresponds to the region around modern-day Sudan and Ethiopia.

Ezekiel 38:5–6 appears to parallel this prediction. In Isaiah 20:4 the Lord prophesies this event by saying, "so shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptian captives and the Cushite exiles, both the young and the old, naked and barefoot, with buttocks uncovered, the nakedness of Egypt."

At what seems to be the height of his military accomplishments, something will devastate this king of the north. The next two verses describe what triggers this devastation and what comes after (Daniel 11:44–45).
