See chapter 3, where I discuss the term rosh . The NLT translates the Hebrew word rosh as “who rules over.” NASB has “of Rosh,” which, as I discuss in chapter 3, is the name of a place currently occupied by Russia. The word rosh also occurs in 38:3 and 39:1.

John Walvoord’s original chapter on the king of the north goes on to describe “The Emergence of a World Religion,” but it does not pertain to the subject of this book, so I’ve ended the chapter here.
