Dan. 11, 12 [The Message]

Chapter 11 essentially gives us a historical overview of the accomplishment of Alexander the Great of Greece. (the King of the North) King Xerxes’ forces were defeated at a great battle at the site of the village where my Greek ancestors are from. (The Battle of Plataea)

Chapter 12 contains some of the Bible’s chestnuts for scripture memory. For instance …

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. v.3.

It takes time for God’s plan to unfold, but His rewards and benefits are WORTH the waiting.

Thank you for being patient with me. I have been ill, causing me to miss some some days. I’m better but not out of the woods. I may need to have my gall bladder removed.
