Prophecy in the book of Daniel then concealed,
now today, has been revealed.
Prophetic words spoken way back then,
revealed now, through the Kingdoms of men.
In the book of Daniel, world powers
no longer hidden or concealed,
To the sons of men now revealed
as each Dynasty came into being,
We know our God is all seeing.
Babylonia in 607 BCE,
Followed by Medo-Persia
now history!
The Grecian Empire and Alexander the Great,
God prophesied through Daniel, no act of fate.
The Kingdom divided, between Generals four.
Rome was next at the door.
Knowledge now widely known,
revealed by God from his throne.
Jesus now does hold the key,
conquered death to set men free.
So do not fear or or suffer dread
Paradise restored lies just ahead.
You will not stumble, or know despair.
He'll hold your hand and guide you there.
Death is only a watch in the night,
we need not fear or suffer fright.
His word to us, our Rock and sheild,
Our life's to him we give and yield.
He holds our hand, and takes us there,
To Paradise under his great care.
As the Great Shepherd holds little lambs to his breast.
You've won the fight, and past the test.
Inherit the Kingdom prepared for man,
in the beggining of Gods great plan.
Live your life as it was meant to be,
Surrounded with Love for eternity.

Hallo Pete,
What I thought you would find encouraging was except for the Babylonion Empire which was already in existance, the other empires had not even came into World Power as it was foretold that these rulerships WOULD come into power after Babylon.
Thus telling us about events before they had happened.
When the Bible foretold the rise of the Grecian Empire before it came into power, scripture foretold that the Grecian empire ruled by Alexander the Great would become four. (Daniel 7:6)
14 years after Alexanders death, his legitimate son Alexander the 1V and his illegitimate son Heracles were assisinated.
By 301 BCE Alexanders four Generals took power over the huge empire Alexander the Great had built.
1. General Cassander took control of Macedonia and Greece.
2. Genearal Lysimachus recieved Asia Minor and Thrace.
3. Selucus l Nictor took Mesopotamia and Syria.
4. And Ptolomy Lagus or Ptolemy 1 ruled Eygpt and Palestine.
From Alexanders one great Kingdom there arose four Grecian Kingdoms.
All of this was fortold before it happened proving that the Bible accurately foretells the future so that we can know what will happen. This gives us great confidence in the scriptures and the Bible seeing the events have been fullfilled.
At the time when people were saying that the world was flat we read at:
Isaiah 40:22:
There is one who is dwelling above the circle of the earth, (God said that the earth was a circle, round.)
Romans 15:4
For all the things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction, that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we may have hope.
As you know Pete we pray for Gods Kingdom to take up full rulership over the earth, when we say the Lords Prayer, Thy Kindom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven, we know with confidence that When God does take up complete rulership over all the earth he will then fullfill what he says at:
Matthew 25:34.
Then the king will say to those on his right, "Come YOU who have been blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for YOU from the founding of the world."
I know some of these Scriptures from the book of Daniel are deep, but all these things have been fullfilled.
We can be fully confident that all other promises made by God will be fullfilled also. Therefore we can know "The Best Is Yet To Come"
It is so nice to speak with you Pete, as you know I am a friend of Kelle Marie and I hope that you have drawn comfort and hope from the scriptures we have shared together from Gods word the Bible.
May Gods Love and Blessings shine upon you and please remember "He will by no means leave you nor by any means forsake you."
God has promised you this. Speak to you again Pete, kind thoughts and my prayers are with you.
God bless and Christian Love,
Caroline.
