The Roman Empire
If you had read Ariala's posts (15-16 March 2004) in the blog 'Random Acts of Kindness', some of the content in this post will not be totally new to you. The content in this post however, differs from that in Ariala's posts on the area of the interpretation of the 10 kingdoms. Please note that the content in this post is highly contentious. I can only present one view of how this prophecy is interpreted, but I cannot give you a right or definite answer, since these interpretations are still...

The Greek Empire & Rise of Hellenism: A Supplement
I mentioned at the end of my previous post that I would post this supplement. The key biblical text for this post is taken from the book of Daniel, Chapter 11. In this chapter, Daniel wrote in much detail about the dynamics and developments of the post-Alexander hellenistic kingdoms. I must admit that I do not have historical information to prove every single verse. What I do have though is information that shows the fulfilment of the essence of his prophecy. This is presented in the table shown...

The Greek Empire & Rise of Hellenism - Part 1
While some may consider the Battle of Marathon was a milestone in the account on the rise of Greece (i.e. after this battle, the Greeks states successfully stood up against the mighty Persian army and for once had a sense of national pride and their ability to take on Persia), it was not till the rise of Macedon that the Greeks would unite and invade the Persian Empire, thereby marking the start of the hellenistic age.

The Persian Empire
Reference Text:...its chest and arms of silver... (Daniel 2:32) After you, another kingdom will rise, inferior to yours. (Daniel 2:39) And there before me was a second beast, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, ‘Get up and eat your fill of flesh!’ (Daniel 7:5) I looked up, and there before me was a ram with two horns, standing beside the canal, and the two horns were long. One of the horns was longer...
