Prophecy – history written in advance
In chapter eight we read about the division of Alexander the Great’s kingdom into four parts. Here we read more about that.
Daniel 11
- If our understanding is correct, the first two thirds of this chapter (v. 1-27) treat of the Syrian (to the north of Judea) and Egyptian (to the south of Judea) branches of the Greek empire.
- There will be strong battles and persecution against the holy land (covenant, v. 28-35). Perhaps this is Antiochus Epiphanes and the Romans.
- Evil dictatorships will be established in both the north (v. 36-39) and the south (v. 40-45); and in the end all will fail.
