Prophecies Fulfilled
We stand at the intersection of history and prophecy as we explore Daniel chapters 11 and 12, witnessing something truly remarkable: prophecy so precise it reads like a history book written in advance. What makes this journey through Daniel extraordinary is that approximately 85% of what the angel Gabriel revealed to Daniel has already been fulfilled with pinpoint accuracy—from the rise and fall of Persian kings to Alexander the Great's conquering empire that split into four parts, exactly as foretold. We see the soap opera-like drama of the kings of the North and South—Syria and Egypt—battling back and forth with Israel caught in the middle, yet every detail unfolding precisely as God declared centuries before it happened. The abomination of desolation under Antiochus IV, who desecrated the temple and sparked the Maccabean Revolt, serves as both historical fulfillment and prophetic foreshadowing of future tribulation. The central message thunders through every verse: God is sovereign. He controls history, He orchestrates events, and He protects His people even amid chaos. This isn't just ancient history—it's our assurance that the God who predicted the past with perfect accuracy controls our future. When we see prophecy fulfilled so meticulously, we can trust that the unfulfilled portions about the end times, the Antichrist, and Christ's return will happen just as precisely. We're reminded that our redemption draws near, and whether we're living through tribulation or waiting in hope, God's timeline is perfect and His promises are certain.
