Bible studyDaniel 11 ;1-7
3 More kings will appear in Persia , and the 4th will far surpass all the others in wealth ; and when he has extended his power through his wealth , he will rouse the whole world against the kingdom of Greece. Then there will appear a warrior king. He will rule a vast kingdom and will do what he chooses. But as soon as he is established , his kingdom will be shattered and split up north, south , east , and west.. It will not pass to his descendants , nor will any of his successors have any empire like his ; his kingdom will be torn up by the roots and given to others as well as to them. Then the king of the south will become strong ; but another of the captains will suppress him in strength and win a greater kingdom . In due course the 2 will enter into a friendly alliance ; to redress the balance the daughter of the king of the south will be given in marriage to the king of the north, but she will not maintain her influence and their line will not last.
