He Shall Enter the Glorious Land
Egypt Shall Not Escape
He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be
overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and
Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land
of Egypt shall not escape. But he shall have power over the treasures
of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and
the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. Dan 11: 41-43
One of the first conquests of the Seljun Turks was Palestine, the
"Glorious Land". The Ottoman Turks conquered Palestine again and
held it from 1517 until 1917.
The territories of Edom, Moab and Ammon were never conquered by
the Turks due first to their inland and defensible position and second
due to their being themselves, Mohammedans.
The Ottomans conquered Egypt in 1517. A thousand camels laden
with gold and silver carried the wealth of Egypt to Constantinople.
Libya and Ethiopia were conquered in 1550.
The Turks continued to push against Western Christendom until
1683 when their second attempt to besiege Vienna failed. In 1699,
they were forced to cede large amounts of re-conquered territory to
the West. The momentum shifted to the West at this time, the
Eupratean flood would now recede.
