Daniel 11:1-19
This chapter presents detailed account of the struggle that took place in the Persian and Greek periods. those who believe that the book was written after these events naturally do not consider this chapter to be real prophecy.
The intention would still be to declare that God has full knowledge and control of all history.
There are to be three more Persian kings (2; Cambyes, Gaumata and Darius I). followed by a fourth (Xerxes). Xerxes invaded Greece but was defeated at Salamis in 480BC. The power them passed to Greece.
Verse 5 refers to Egypt and to Ptolemy's one time general, Selcucus, who became 'king of the north' - the powerful kingdom of Syria and the east. Fifty years later the daughter of Ptolemy II married Antiochus II of Syria. But she was divorced and murdered, and her brother avenged her by attacking Syria.
The Struggle between the two powers at the end of the 3rd century BC.The Jews then joined forces with Antiochus III of Syria to defeat Egypt. They gained their freedom from Egypt and Antiochus made a marriage alliance with Ptolemy V. Antiochus invaded Asia Minor and Greece but was defeated by the Romans at Magnesia in 190BC.
Why?
Angel explained more detail about the future events, God control of all history, nothing can hide before Him.
How?
No matter what happen in this world or around me, both are under the authority of the Lord. Do not afraid, be strong, believe in Jesus Christ. Our savior.
