... This actually happened more than 200 years later when Alexander the Great died and his kingdom was split into four kingdoms ruled over by four of his generals. ...

FIVE Generals:

World history cites the division of Alexander’s empire into five parts: “Antipater taking Macedonia and Greece, Lysimachus Thrace, Antigonus Asia Minor, Selecucs Babylonea, and Ptolemy Egypt.”[1] This division lasted some 40 years until Lysimachus took Antipater's Macedonia and Greece.

Liars have an agenda. Perhaps you shouldn't start with what the liars say, but instead with what the angel said:

Daniel 12:4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.

As such, all the assertions of ANCIENT fulfillments are LIES. Perhaps you should consider the 1900's as the era for which these prophecies pertain.


If you obey the angel, then you have a starting point. But if you follow men, then you've been warned and your blood is on your own head ...

Alexander’s death was sudden and his empire disintegrated into a 40-year period of war and chaos in 321 BCE. The Hellenistic world eventually settled into four stable power blocks: the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, the Seleucid Empire in the east, the Kingdom of Pergamon in Asia Minor, and Macedon.

In the scriptures the goats single horn breaks off and becomes four not five. God is showing Daniel the notable results after the horn breaks. God doesn't go into detail and tells Daniel it will take this many years for the goats Empire to settle into four STABLE POWER BLOCS.

EXACTLY, -- so maybe you should find an historical entity in which there is a Great Horn, and Four Lesser Horns, -- rather than the FIVE which the liars have claimed.

SECONDLY, -- the angel says the prophecies are for the END TIMES. So any person who asserts ANCIENT fulfillments contradicts GODS MESSENGER (the angel).

FINALLY, -- obey GOD, not liars.
