The North is, and we're going to address this as far as the rule, specifically a little later on. The rule is, is the power that controls Babylon. You'll find that the kings of the North, in Daniel 11, that were first identified as the Seleucid Empire that controlled the Syrian area of the northern extremities of Alexander the Great's former kingdom, they always had control of Babylon. Babylon was the capital city right from the start. And when Rome took over Syria, they also took control of Babylon, because that consisted in that geographical area. But here, when this power rises and is finally placed in verse 31, this power doesn't necessarily control or dominate the literal city of Babylon. This is the power that Revelation 17 tells us is spiritual Babylon. This is the power that controls spiritual Babylon, and this is spiritual Rome. And this is the logic and the rule of identifying who the transition from the king of the North, in verse 16, pagan Rome becomes the king of the North when it conquers Syria. And here we see the transition of pagan Rome being the king of the North, to the papacy being the king of the North, the rule of thumb being the power that controls Babylon, is the king of the North. And this power, in verses 30, 31, and onward, is the power that controls spiritual Babylon. And when you get to verse 36, if you understand this power as James White did, as the king of the North that comes to his end, and none shall help him, in verse 45, and James White identified that king of the North that comes to his end, in verse 45, as the papacy, then you'll see the king of the North, in verses 30 onward, is the papacy all the way through. And you come to verse 36, and it says, and the king, and there's no way to use the word that is in the Hebrew there that Daniel used to come up with, and a king, and because it's and the king, it's saying, and the king that we've been identifying in the previous verses, and the king of the North that's here under discussion, the papacy, and the papacy shall do according to his will. Now is that how we understood the papacy when it ruled the world during the Dark Ages? And it says, and he shall exalt himself. Is that how we understood the papacy still today? Exalting himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the god of gods? This is clearly an identification of the papacy.
