discuss Daniel 11: who is the king of the south? the king of the north?
the king of the south goes about to rule the land tho the king of the north dominated the king of the south. at the end of the chapter the king of the north falters due to his opposition of God almighty.
In Daniel 11. The king of the South and king of the North is not a focus on individuals throughout the chapter but kingdoms of kings throughout many years, tho in places it does single out the activities of particular kings like, ( Verses 21-35. Antiochus IV Epiphanes. and verses 3-4. Alexandria the Great.) ect. ect...
Note that It was all prophetic when Daniel wrote it,.
The 1st 20 verses is historical,
Verses 36 on is prophetic.
Verses 21 to 35. Is debated amongst some scholars, say it's history and some say it has what you call a double reference. of the "ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION"
The historical account foreshadows the prophetic account with the antichrist.
You see examples of a double reference in Isaiah 14. and Ezekiel 28. and many other places.
The kingdom of the south is believed to be Egypt as seen in the earlier verses and the northern kingdom some try to tie this to Ezekiel 38. "The uttermost parts of the North" Others say it's the Northern region. "Syria". and believe verses 36- 41 is the period of time between the Antichrist and the final climax of Armageddon.

A view I hold.
Hopefully we can get clarity from others.
God bless.
