THE STORY OF DANIEL THE PROPHET

Stephen N. Haskell

“But go thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest and stand in thy

Nebuchadnezzar and Cyrus in direct contact

with his people, that they might know the God

of heaven, so he permitted Alexander to learn

from Tyre, after its surrender, toward Gaza,

which guards the entrance into Egypt, he

stopped at Jerusalem. Josephus states that

great consternation filled the city when it was

known that the Greek warrior was coming.

But the high priest, Juddas, had a dream in

which he was bidden to go out to meet

Alexander, arrayed in his priestly garments,

and accompanied by the temple officers clad

in white.
