WHILE POLITICS hasn’t changed much in the last 2,500 years, we’re thankful that today being “thrown to the lions” is just a figure of speech. In Daniel’s day, it was apparently an effective way to dispose of political enemies.
Unless, of course, God had other plans.
This week, we discuss the famous story of Daniel in the lion’s den, and then we move on to the prophetic section of the book to analyze the four terrifying beasts of Daniel’s vision, various interpretations of what they represent, and why scholars can’t agree on their meaning after more than two thousand years of study and debate.

i thought Ptolemy was who took over the areas of Afghanistan Iran Syria Egypt which is one of Alexander’s generals whose lineage went for 200+ years (death of Alexandrer was the BEGINNING of Ptolemy .. (Pharaohs) dynasty which ended w last pharaoh of Egypt Cleopatra in 30 BC )… I don’t know who y’all were talking about one of his 4 generals but Ptolemy was Allexander’s closest Friend & General who actually stole Alexander’s body taking it to Alexandria! There’s still digs going on the to try to find Alexander’s mummified remains there.. of course dissolved when the Roman empire took over that area and we know the Romans were mentioned in scripture.
Maybe the 4 Generals but most famous was Ptolemy who became a pharaoh’ Y’all talked about some with a SI don’t know but after Alexander it wasn’t a Grecian empire or not like that anyway! but due to this pharaoh that kind of broke up the area( the Mede) because Darius III lineage ended the Laina pharaohs don’t know it’s a little confusing to me what y’all are talking about! 🤷♀️
