21. Bible Prophesy
In the Bible, Daniel Chapter 8 makes detailed prophecies about a future Greek leader.
Three hundred years later, Alexander the Great would fulfill these prophecies to the letter.
Prophecy: A future Greek leader will advance rapidly from the west.
And as I was considering, suddenly a male goat [the Greek Empire] came from the west,
across the surface of the whole earth, without touching the ground [this indicates fantastic
speed]; and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes [Alexander the Great]. — Daniel
8:5
Fulfillment: Alexander the Great advanced so rapidly from the west, that military analysts to
this day marvel at the speed and efficiency with which he moved his forces. Later on in
Chapter 8, Daniel specifically identifies the goat as Greece– a remarkable prophecy made
300 years before Greece would rise to power.
Prophecy: Alexander the Great would attack and destroy the Media-Persian Empire, the
dominant empire in the world.] Daniel 8:5-7
Fulfillment: Alexander destroyed the Media-Persian Empire.
22. Prophecy: He will die when his power is strong
…but when he became strong, the large horn was broken… — Daniel
8:8
Fulfillment: Alexander died after conquering the known world, at
age 33
Prophecy: His empire will be divided into four smaller empires, none
of which would be as powerful as Alexander’s empire.
…and in place of it four notable ones came up toward the four winds
of heaven… — Daniel 8:8
…four kingdoms shall arise out of that nation, but not with its power. —
Daniel 8:22
Fulfillment: Alexander’s empire was divided among four of his
generals: Lysimachus, Cassander, Seleucus, & Ptolemy.
None of these empires ever equaled Alexander’s empire in power.
