Xerxes II - The Great - of Medo-Persia. |
So, Where In The Scriptures does it mention: Xerxes II Of Medo-Persia and The City-States Of Greece?
In Daniel Chapter 11, We Can Read:
"Also in the first year of Darius The Mede [ Darius I Of Persia - The Great], I [ The Angel Gabriel ], even I [ The Angel Who Is Now Speaking With You ], stood up [ Fought Along Side Of Him ] to confirm him [ Within The Kingdom Of Medo-Persia ] and strengthen him [ By Giving Him The Capital Of Babylon ].
And now I will tell you The Truth [ Well In Advance Of Its Factual Occurrence ]: Behold [ You Shall See ], three more kings [ Xerxes I Of Persia, Artaxerxes I Of Persia, and Xerxes II The Great ] will arise in Persia, and the fourth [ Xerxes II, The Great ] shall be far richer than them all [ The Others Which Came Before Him ]; and by his strength [ Both: Politically and Militarily ], and through his wealth [ The Hiring Of Numerous Mercenaries ], he shall stir up all [ The Entire Middle Eastern Peoples ] against The Realm Of Greece [ The Greek City-States ]. - Daniel 11:1-2.
Xerxes - The Great - invades Greece.
Undoubtedly, most of us have seen the recent blockbuster movie: " 300 " - starring Ralph Richardson as King Leonidas - that portrayed this: Spectacular and Historic Battle [ between: Medo-Persia, and the far smaller City States Of Greece ]. And yet, how many of us have ever stopped to [ actually ] read The Prophetical Scriptures from The Bible? Does this historical revelation seem startling? Well, it shouldn't... because, The Sacred Scriptures are [ exactly ] what they have always claimed to be!
