I want you to turn with me to Daniel chapter 11. We saw Daniel praying there by the river

Euphrates because he was in exile from his hometown in Jerusalem to Babylon. And there he was

praying for three weeks. And we saw in the last message that as a direct answer to his prayer,

the pre-incarnate Christ came to him in person and began to speak to him. As a direct result of

this righteous man's prayer, the pre-incarnate Christ privileged him to allow him

to look through the eternal telescope lens and see the future in the next 600 years before it

happened. Because that's what Daniel chapter 11 is all about.

It is history before it took place.

It is history before it happened.

Let me summarize it very, very quickly for you.

The Babylonian Empire was destroyed.

Now the Persian Empire is on top.

And so the pre-encarnate Christ comes and says to Daniel that the fourth

king after the present one, which is Cyrus, is going to be extremely rich king, is going to be

very wealthy king. Not only that, that he's going to use his considerable wealth

to expand the Persian Empire all the way to Greece. Hundreds of years later, we know that the fourth

king was Xerxes. Did Jesus, the Christ predicted with accuracy? Absolutely, because he writes history before it happens.

Xerxes invaded the well-known world at the time, all the way to Greece.

But the Persian Empire was not to stay in glory forever.

The pre-incarnate Christ told Daniel that the glory of perjure is going to give way to the glory of Greece,

which will be led into prominence by a young man.

You and I know him from history as Alexander the Great. Verse three of Daniel 11
