5th world power- Greece Empire Alexander the Great In the Bible, there is no record about any prophets in Greece time but there are prophecies that written by Daniel about Greece. First, it is represented as leopard- Daniel 7:6 Second, at Daniel 8:5-8 5 As I kept watching, look! there was a male goat coming from the west crossing the surface of the whole earth without touching the ground. And the goat had a conspicuous horn between its eyes. 6 It was coming toward the ram with the two horns, which I had seen standing before the watercourse; it was running toward it in a powerful rage. 7 I saw it closing in on the ram, and it was filled with bitterness toward it. It struck down the ram and broke its two horns, and the ram was powerless to stand up to it. It threw the ram to the ground and trampled it down, and there was no one to rescue it from its power. 8 Then the male goat exalted itself exceedingly, but as soon as it became mighty, the great horn was broken; then four conspicuous horns came up instead of the one, toward the four winds of the heavens This are all happened to Greece. The New testament also known as The Christian Greek scriptures refers to Greek influences such as culture, religion and language. The story of its king is also interesting. Alexander the Great was the youngest among all the world power kings. He ruled as world power at the age of 20 and has amazing strategies in conquering nations including Medes and Persia. Sadly, the king rules in only short period of time because he has fever that kills him. Im not sure but is it mosquito that kills him? Just imagine? a great king with great army and conquer great nations will die in one tiny mosquito? Amazing 😅 Well, that's the history. After him, the Empire was divided into 4 generals 1. Cassander- Macedonia and Greece 2. Lysimachus- Asia minor and European Thrace 3. Seleucus Nicator- Babylon, media, Syria and Persia 4. Ptolemy lagus- Egypt, Libya and Palestine https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1988286?q=Greece+empire&p=doc https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/101972045?q=Alexander+the+Great&p=doc
