DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~

Chapter 7 – The Four Beasts
Rollin, Ancient History, b. 15, sec. 2, gives the

following brief synopsis of Alexander’s

marches: —

“From Macedonia to the Ganges, which river

Alexander nearly approached, is computed at

least eleven hundred leagues. Add to this the

various turnings in Alexander’s marches; first,

from the extremity of Cilicia, where the battle

of Issus was fought, to the temple of Jupiter

Ammon in Libya; and his returning from

thence to Tyre, a journey of three hundred

leagues at least, and as much space at least for

the windings of his route in different places;

we shall find that Alexander, in less than eight

years, marched his army upward of seventeen

hundred leagues [or more than fifty-one

hundred miles], without including his return

to Babylon.”
