The nations of the North ( north of Palestine ) would include the armies of Russia and troops sent by Eastern Europe including such countries as Poland , Ukraine , Lithuania and Latvia .
In Daniel 11:40-43 , the Bible tells us that the Antichrist and his western alliance will seem to have the upper hand in the first phase of the conflict . It would appear that the Antichrist with his brilliant military skills is able to hold off the North and do even better against the countries of the South . Perhaps for a small time during this conflict the Antichrist will be somewhat confident that he will continue to rule the world . However , he will hear some very disturbing news . Daniel tells us what that bad news will be :
Daniel 11:44 ( NIV ) " But reports from the east and the north will alarm him , and he will set out in a great rage to destroy and annihilate many . "
