“Yea! The Guardians of Ptolemy VI did in effect destroy Ptolemy VI. Their armies were defeated by the far more experienced Seleucid commander, Antiochus IV. Antiochus IV attacked and seized Pelusium on the border of Egypt giving them supplies and access to all of Egypt. Ptolemy’s armies were defeated leaving only the city of Alexandria. Ptolemy VI was captured by Antiochus IV who, by virtue of the fact that he was the brother of Cleopatra Syra, Ptolemy VI’s mother, was his uncle. Antiochus IV’s defeat and capture of Ptolemy VI and almost all of Egypt was not due entirely to…

Co-Co, The Coconut-Throwing Chimpanzee Schoolmaster reminded all the zoo inmates of The GREAT HIGH GOD’S TWELVE – NAY – THIRTEEN HUMAN MOTHERS WHO ARE THE HEROINES OF THE REDEMPTION OF THE HUMAN RACE – AND THE WHOLE OF CREATION.

Eve, The Wife of Adam, The Mother of The Seventy Nations of The First World, To Whom The Promise was Made of a Redeemer, Who Would Destroy The Serpent, THE SEED…

“And He [Antiochus IV (175 B.C.E. – 164 B.C.E.)] shall stir up His Power and His Courage against The King of The South [Ptolemy VI (180 B.C.E. – 164 B.C.E. & 163 B.C.E. – 145 B.C.E.)] With A Great Army. 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.) In 170 B.C.E, the guardians of…

“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…

(Mithradates had lived in Athens since 187 B.C.E. when his nephew, Demetrius, the son of Seleucus IV, had been exchanged as a…

“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 Within A Few Days, He [Heliodorus, Seleucus IV’s Chancellor] Shall Be Destroyed – Neither in Anger – Neither in Battle.’ (Daniel 11:20) In 178 B.C.E. Seleucus IV’s Chancellor, Heliodorus, was sent to Jerusalem to collect moneys from supposedly wealthy Temple at Jerusalem. Note: Seleucus IV (187 B.C.E. – 175 B.C.E.) the second son of Antiochus III had…
