And The King of The South [Ptolemy VI] shall be stirred up to Battle With A Very Great and Mighty army; But He [Ptolemy VI ] shall not stand, For They shall forecast devices [ devise plans] against Him,” Daniel 11:25 Ptolemy VI (180 B.C.E. – 164 B.C.E. & 163 B.C.E. – 145 B.C.E.)

“He [Antiochus IV (175 B.C.E. – 164 B.C.E.)] shall enter Peaceably [By Prosperity], even upon The Fattest [The Richest] Places of The Province. And He [ Antiochus IV (171 B.C.E. – 164 B.C.E.)] shall do That Which His Fathers have not done, Nor His Father’s Fathers: He shall scatter among Them The Prey [The Plunder}, and The Spoil [Booty], and Riches. Yea! And He shall forecast His Devices [Devise His Plans] against The Strong-Holds. Even for a Time.” (Daniel 11:24) Unlike His father, Antiochus III (223 B.C.E. – 187 B.C.E.), and His Brother, Seleucus IV (187 B.C.E. -175 B.C.E.), Antiochus…

“And after The League made with Him [Eumenes II of Pergamon (197 B.C.E. – 159 B.C.E.)], He [Mithradates, later Antiochus IV (175 B.C.E. – 164 B.C..E.)] shall work deceitfully; For He [Antiochus IV (175 B.C.E. – 164 B.C.E.)] shall come up [To The Seleucid Throne]; And shall become strong with a small people [force].” Mithradates, upon the assassination of His brother, Seleucus IV by Heliodorus, travelled from Athens through Asia Minor and reached Syria by November, 175 B.C.E..

“And with The Arms [Force] of a Flood, Shall They [Daniel’s People, The Jews] shall be overflown [swept away] before Him [Antiochus IV (175 B.C.E. – 164 B.C.E.)]; And shall be broken. Yea! Also, The Prince of The Covenant [The High Priest, Onias III]! (Daniel 11:22) Wise rulers of The Ancient World honoured and appreciated The Jewish People, Daniel’s People. Foolish, cruel, and proud monarchs did not. Perhaps the most foolish, cruel and proud ruler of The Babylonians, The Persians, The Ptolemies and The Seleucid Monarchs, up to The Time of The Messiah, was the king who is the subject…

Chugley PASTOR WAYNE WRITES: www.the heritagechurch.org March 29, 2024  Dear Heritage Family, Beloved, while their efforts may have been well-intentioned, I hope you now see the mistake our church fathers made in 325 B.C. when they merged the sacred events of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ with the secular events of what we might call…

Co-Co, The Coconut-Throwing Chimpanzee Schoolmaster, did not think that the study on Daniel 11 should omit to pay homage to the greatest moment in History (which The Western Church is remembering at present,) The Crucifixion of JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE MESSIAH OF THE JEWS, THE KING OF THE JEWS. He is educating the entire zoo this Easter season regarding the glorious recording of Handel’s ‘Messiah’ by Sir Malcolm Sargent. He thought that the readers of ‘The Chugley Blog’ would perhaps find the music uplifting and inspiring also: Co-Co finds new delights in Handel’s great oratorio every time he listens to…

In The Glory of The Kingdom [The Glorious Kingdom of The Land of Israel].

But He [Antiochus III (223 B.C.E. – 187 B.C.E)] shall stumble and fall, and not be found.” Daniel 11:19. In The Prophetic History of The Gentile Domination of The People of Daniel, The Jews, (which Daniel is given in The Third Year of Cyrus, The Great, 535 B.C.E. ,) Antiochus III appears in ten verses (Daniel 11:10b – 19.) It is in this verse, Verse 19 of Chapter Eleven, that Antiochus III dies. His reign comes to a tragic end….
