Saudi Arabia wants military support from Pakistan: a prelude for the King of the South?

The political party in control of Pakistan is the Pakistan Muslim League. Its leaders have been asked to support military actions of Saudi Arabia:
April 6, 2015
Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammas Asif said Monday that Saudi Arabia has asked that his military provide ground troops, planes and warships to help a coalition battling rebels in Yemen.
He spoke at the start of a parliamentary debate on whether to join the Saudi-led effort against the Houthis that began nearly two weeks ago with airstrikes in support of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi. The president fled the country last month and went to Riyadh.
Pakistan has pledged to support the overall effort, but has not committed itself to any specific action or contribution. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has said he would defend Saudi Arabia from outside attacks. The fight against the Houthis, who seized Yemen’s capital last September before marching on the southern city of Aden last month, has included rebel attacks on Saudi border crossings.
As the fighting between the Houthis and pro-government forces continued, the International Committee of the Red Cross said Monday it has not been able to deliver some 48 tons of medical supplies it has ready to send into Yemen. The organization said it has approval, but that logistical concerns about flying into the war-torn country are holding up the process. http://www.voanews.com/content/pakistan-weights-joining-saudi-coalition-in-yemen/2708122.html
Should Pakistan provide military support, this well could be a prelude to what will happen in the future. Biblically, a military force of Arabs and others is inevitable. The force will be led by one called the King of the South in Bible prophecy:
40 “At the time of the end, the king of the south shall attack him, but the king of the north shall rush upon him like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen, and with many ships. And he shall come into countries and shall overflow and pass through. 41 He shall come into the glorious land. And tens of thousands shall fall, but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom and Moab and the main part of the Ammonites. 42 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43 He shall become ruler of the treasures of gold and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt, and the Libyans and the Cushites shall follow in his train. (Daniel 11:40-44, ESV)
The peoples listed above are mainly located in North Africa and the Middle East. They are in Muslim-dominated lands and include the Arabs and some of the Turks. Cushites, interestingly enough, may include some in Pakistan. As I have reported here for years, there is a belief that Saudi Arabia made a deal with Pakistan to provide Saudi Arabia nuclear weapons whenever it needs them. Since the Saudis have money and Pakistan has nuclear weapons, this has long seemed like an arrangement of mutual benefit.
As an Islamic nation, and since some of the descendants of Phut are shown as part of a failed confederation involving Egypt in Ezekiel 30:1-9 and this appears to be an Islamic confederation, it is likely that Pakistan, to a degree, may support the King of the South in Daniel 11:40–though probably not too closely. That will be a mistake. As I have written before, Pakistan may actually directly or indirectly temporarily support the final King of the South to the point that it may even provide some nuclear support (see Pakistan’s Nuclear Weapons, Saudi Arabia, and the King of the South). Yet, since the “European beast,” who is also the final King of the North will defeat the King of the South, Pakistan will likely suppress its ties to Islam around that time–at least for a while.
Now, Saudi Arabia has asked Pakistan to support the military coalition that it and other Muslim nations are putting together.
There are more and more reports in the news about actions that seem to be leading to the formation of the power that will be led by the final King of the South. Pakistan looks like it may play some role.

Obama Administration Pushing for an Islamic Empire? Because of the rise of groups such as the Islamic State, the Obama Administration and others are pushing for a coalition of Arab nations along with Turkey. Does this resemble the final King of the South of Bible prophecy? Is there an Islamic antichrist? Does the Bible teach that terrorism and the sword will affect the USA and some of its allies?
