The Rise & Fall of Four Empires — Daniel’s Prophecy

Ancient prophecies often seem like distant tales, but what if one accurately foretold

the rise and fall of empires, centuries in advance? The biblical book of Daniel,

chapters two and seven, describes a breathtaking vision: four successive world-dominating

kingdoms. First, the mighty kingdom of Babylon, a golden empire

known for its splendor and power. But all empires eventually fall. Babylon was conquered

by the powerful Medo-Persian empire. The Medo-Persian rule spread across vast lands,

forming an immense empire that shaped the ancient world. Yet, their dominance was

challenged by the swift and brilliant military campaigns of Alexander the Great's Greece.
