Daniel: In-Depth "Persians & Greeks" | Pastor Todd Hessel

The period between the Old and New Testaments reveals God's sovereignty through dramatic historical events. From Persian rule that allowed Jewish return to Jerusalem, through Alexander's Greek conquest and empire division, to the Maccabean revolt and eventual Roman domination, God remained faithful to His people. The detailed prophecies in Daniel 11 accurately predicted these events, including the rise of Antiochus Epiphanes and the temple's defilement. This historical backdrop prepared the world for Christ's arrival, with Roman infrastructure facilitating gospel spread. Despite political chaos and human failure, God's faithfulness endures, encouraging us to trust His sovereignty in our own uncertain times.
