THE STORY OF DANIEL THE PROPHET

“But go thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest and stand in thy
lot at the end of the days.” Daniel 12:13.

taken into consideration while following the

history of the Greeks as given by Gabriel.

The angel had said, “When I am gone forth

[from Persia], lo, the prince of Grecia shall

come.” And of Greece, he says, “A mighty king

shall stand up, that shall rule with great

dominion, and do according to his will.” It is in

this language that Alexander is introduced in

the divine records. He was not a Greek, but a

Macedonian, the son of Philip of Macedon. He

stands in history as one of those strong

characters whom God uses in spite of the fact

that they are unacquainted with him, and

know not his manner of working. Alexander,

in Greek history, corresponds in some ways to

Cyrus, the Persian.
