Daniel on Alexander the Great; Josephus the Historian: God and Pagan Kings #5 | Dr. Sam Thomas

The book of Daniel prophesies about Alexander the Great directly at least three times in Daniel chapters 7, 8, and 11. There is an indirect reference to him in Daniel 2. This video is divided into two parts: section one discusses these prophecies. Section two discusses the writings of Josephus. Josephus, the first century Jewish historian, writes of a vision that Alexander received from God. He treats the Jewish high priest and other priests with great respect. According to Josephus, Alexander is shown the passages from the book of Daniel that speak about him - and Alexander acknowledges that those passages are about him. This results in the Jews receiving several favors from him. This is the final video in the series God and Pagan Kings - a series that discussed God's revelations to many mighty kings.
