The king of the south will prepare for war with an immensely large and powerful army (Dan. 11:25).
By 1870, Britain had the most powerful military and had become the largest empire in the world. Daniel described this empire as a little horn that defeated three others, namely France, Spain, and the Netherlands (Dan. 7:7, 8). Great Britain was the king of the south well into the First World War. By this time, the United States of America had become the dominant economic power and had begun to form a close alliance with Great Britain. During World War I, the United States and Great Britain formed a powerful military alliance. Thus came into being the world power made up of Great Britain and its former colony, the United States. Just as Daniel foretold, this king assembled "an army immensely great and mighty." Throughout the last few days, the alliance between Britain and the United States has been the king of the south. w20.05 4 paras. 7, 8
What did the king of the north and the king of the south do during World War I?
From 1914 onward, the two kings redoubled their attacks on each other and on God's people. For example, in World War I, both the German and British governments persecuted God's servants who refused to fight. And, in fulfillment of the prophecy of Revelation 11:7-10, the US government jailed those who were leading the preaching.
What did the king of the north do in the 1930s and during World War II?
Later, in the 1930s and especially during World War II, the king of the north attacked God's people without mercy. When the N**i party came to power, Hi**er and his supporters banned our work. These enemies killed hundreds of Jehovah's servants and sent thousands more to concentration camps. And Daniel had prophesied it. He said that the king of the north would profane “the sanctuary” and remove “the constant sacrifice,” meaning that he would forbid preaching (Dan. 11:30b, 31a). Their leader, Hi**er, even swore that he would exterminate God's people in Germany.
