God is really good...and sometimes if I just sit quietly I can just bask in His wonderful glory, and feel Him sitting there with me. Have you ever noticed that when you are with someone you love it is not always necessary to be speaking. You can just be together and feel the love that the two of you have for each other, Psalm 46: 10. Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in all the earth. I want to exalt God in everything that I do, if you are reading this then you probably do as well!
On to Daniel 11: verse 4 on...well it looks like there will be wedding in the coming verses...we shall see. In verse 4 Daniels prophecy speaks of the mighty king who is ruling and that when he stands up, he will fall. The he is Alexander the Great...who went to a party when he was about 32 years old...he drank a wee bit to much; went home and developed a fever and died. He probably thought of himself as invisible and he was probably having, what he thought was, the time of his life...wonder how much history would have changed if Alexander had walked with God...not likely, but anything is possible.
Anyway I have reiterated a bit and the kingdom was divided up amongst four heirs, and their guides, since some were quite young...the heirs were murdered and the generals took over. I suppose that the generals were then thought of and referred to as kings. Well (remember the kingdom had been divided up, as it were, to the four winds, north, south, east, and west.) the king of the north and the king of the south we're warring, why is it that so many can not be simply happy with what they have. Why do so many think that more is better, it isn't always better. Okay so the king of the south was Ptolemy I and he became quite strong and controlled power over the Holy Lands. Ptolemy must have had a son, because he is referred to as a prince, named Seleucus and at this point I am getting confused because the Bible is not totally clear to me about how Seleucus is the king of the north and now Ptolemy is the king of the south. Reading....reading.....reading....Okay I just had a light bulb moment. The Prince Seleucus most have gotten pretty powerful and he took the power away from the previous ruler of the north, and that is how he came to be in power over the northern area. But just to be on the safe side I will check this all out with my son, who is a brilliant person and he is able to read Greek...so I think since he did quite well in his Greek course at LBC, he's probably qualified to verify that what I have written here is accurate. So for the moment this not written in stone. And it will be confirmed or told that it is a wrong understanding.
So for the time being....go and find someone who really needs a blessing!
