And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
When everything's coming to an end, the southern king will attack him. But the northern king will hit back like a tornado, bringing chariots, cavalry, and a whole fleet of ships. He'll storm through countries like a flood, taking over everything in his path.
Sometimes the final showdown comes from directions you never saw coming.
