They became the most important commercial port on the Mediterranean and they also controlled the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. This city will play a huge role in the establishment of the Catholic Church later in history. It was the center of Greece philosophy and cultural center. They reigned over their territory with a central power, like the ancient Egyptians. The Ptolemy dynasty in the south was strong. The Battles of the Four Greek GeneralsĪnd the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion his dominion shall be a great dominion. In the end time scenes we once again will see another world leader. When we study the history of Rome we find Julius Caesar planning just such a world authority once again. In a very short time space he established a one government rule. His shadow fell over the known civilization of his time and is still influencing the world today. His kingdom then divided among his four generals: South (Egypt) was ruled by Ptolemy,Īlexander was only 33 when he died and one of the most influential military minds the world had ever seen. ![]() He actually ruled from Babylon and was worhshiped as a god. 8:8)Īt the height of Alexander’s campaign, he died in the land of Babylon. “The he-goat waxed very great and when he was strong, the great horn was broken and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds (four directions) of heaven. Daniel 8:5-8 speaks of this “he-goat” coming from the west and tramping the ram which was Persia. The horn is identified in Daniel 8:21 as the first king of Grecia who is Alexander 333-323 B.C and he defeats the Persian “ram”.Īnd when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.Īlexander the Great is that mighty king. This text is the same as Daniel 8:5 refers the He Goat who came from the west with the horn between his eyes. Thus the prophetic picture now leaves the Persian Empire and focuses on Greece.Īnd a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. However, the Greeks saw a chance to gain power. The Persian fleet was all but annihilated and Xerxes retreated. Darius’ attempt was not very successful, but Xerxes did bring troops against the Greek States. A death decree! But God also made a way of escape for them.ĭaniel 8:4 refers to the Persian kings as the Ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward, who became great.īoth Darius and Xerxes attacked the Greek States. God allowed Xerxes to issue a decree against them. Most people were still in Babylon they were too comfortable in Babylon. The Persian kings who followed Cyrus were Cambyses (529-522) who conquered Egypt, Smerdis (522-521) Darius the Great(521-485), who started the wars against the Persians, and the fourth is Xerxes who ruled (486-465 B.C.)įorty years after Cyrus decreed that Israel return to Jerusalem. World Power Moves from Persian to Greek Kingsīehold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia. ![]() It explains history so precisely that it has become strumbling block for modern historians. Chapter 11 talks about Julius Caesar, all of the Persian Kings, Alexander the Great, Cleopatra and the rise of the Roman Empire and Catholic Church. Daniel chapter 11 prophecies span from the time of Daniel until the rise of the Roman Catholic Church. However they can’t explain away the prophecy in Daniel chapter 11 with this argument. They feel most of the books were fulfilled by the time of the captivity of Jerusalem in 585 BC. Many Bible Scholars claim that the books of the Prophets have already been fulfilled and have little importance for Christians today.
