(A) Prophecy About The Conflicts That Were To Take Place in the Middle-East Before Christ's 1st Coming & His 2nd Coming (Daniel 11:1-20)
God revealed to Daniel in detail the two-fold Wars that were to take place in the Middle-East. The 1st Fold was to take place Before Christ's 1st Coming & the 2nd Fold was to take place before His 2nd Coming. How the 1st Fold was fulfilled in History is what I have placed side by side from verses 1-20. The 2nd Fold is what we've been witnessing in and around Israel, Syria, Egypt, Palestine, Iran, Iraq, the other nations in the Middle-East.

Now, what I have done (I give the Glory to God) is to Narrate to U how History Fulfilled The Prophecy Given From Verses 1 to 20. Your Work is To Open Your Bible to Daniel Chapter 11:1-20. See From Verse to Verse How The Prophecy Given To Daniel at that time was EXACTLY FULFILLED later. For example; after reading Verses 1-2 from the Bible, U then Read how Verses 1-2 were fulfilled in history as I have written below. The subsequent verses should follow same line of action. Let's Go.....
1-2: History tells us in Persia there were 3 kings (Darius & Cyrus and Ahasurerus) & there was 4th one, Xerxes, who was the richest (reigned 485–465 BC). He was puffed up due to his riches, attacked Greece and defeated them. Prophecy Fulfilled .
3: History tells us Alexander the Great of Greece later went to Persia with great fury to defeat them. Exactly as prophesied.
4-5: History says surprisingly, Alexander died at age 33 & four of his Generals divided the kingdom into North (Syria), South (Egypt), East (Turkey) & West (Greece). But they were not powerful as Alexander himself. Two of these four kingdoms are of prophetic essence; North of ISRAEL is Syria; South of ISRAEL is Egypt. Prophetically positioned. But the King of the south (Egypt) was stronger than the king of the north (Syria). History confirmed this. The kings of south (Egypt) held the title ''Pharaoh'' in some time past, but when history was fulfilling this prophecy, the kings of Egypt held the title ''Ptolemy'' as the Kings of (Syria) held the Title ''Antiochus.''
6: One of the generals of the king of the south (Egypt) moved out to reign in the north (Syria). The king of Egypt (an Ptolemy) at the time gave his daughter in marriage to the king of Syria (an Antiochus). But the wife of that Antiochus murdered her husband (that Antiochus), Ptolemy's daughter & all the men who brought the girl & she placed her own son on the throne.
7-9: Not too long, history tells us that a sister of the murdered girl became a Ptolemy (i.e. king of the south - Egypt) who went to the north (Syria), attacked and defeated them in revenge for her sister's death. He took gods, princes & precious vessels of silver & gold from Syria & brought them to his land (South - Egypt).
10-11: History tells us that the king of the north (Syria) gathered a large army to attack the king of the South (Egypt) but in his anger, the king of Egypt marched to meet the king of the north & his army defeated them.
12: Due to his victory (for he killed ten thousand of Syrians), the king of the south (Egypt) was puffed up.
13: The king of the north (Syria) went back, regathered a formidable army, stronger & richer than his first squad which brought his defeat. With such a formidable force, Syria defeated Egypt.
14-15: Many nations stood against the king of Egypt. And violent Jews, who thought of rebelling because of a vision they've seen, failed. Due to this, the king of Syria came back and waged war against the king of Egypt and defeated him, destroying their fortified city. The soldiers of Egypt, even the best of them, didn't have enough strength to fight; so they retreated.
16-17: The king of Syria, boasted of his military might & the riches he had & displayed it. And to totally destroy his enemy's kingdom and to solidify his kingdom, he adopted the strategy which one of the kings of Egypt used but failed early on. He gave his daughter Cleopatra in marriage to the king of Egypt. But his daughter disappointed him because she didn't side with her father.
18-19: The king of Syria (Antiochus the III or the Great) matched his army to fight against Egypt through the Sea, but he didn't succeed. As he was returning to his land, he was killed by the Romans. That was when Roman Empire was gathering momentum.
20: The king of Syria (Antiochus the III or the Great) son succeeded him. In order to increase the revenue of Syria, he widened the tax net & increased the amount the Syrians paid for tax. But he was killed in a very short time, privately; he was poisoned by his own servant.
Dear Reader; Match the History, as narrated above, to the Prophecy, as shown to Daniel by Angel Gabriel from Verses 1-20 and see if there is any contradiction. Note this: History tells us that abt 22 wars took place between these two nations (Egypt & Syria) and among the many nations that surround Israel.
But before it took place, God had already revealed to Daniel, though he didn't understand it then. Glory to God U & I have been granted the privilege to look back to see how exactly these prophecies were fulfilled through history. Isn't Middle-east the center of series of wars in our days?
God willing, tomorrow, we shall see the concluding part (i.e. Verses 21 to 45) which deals with Prophecy about a Shadow Anti-Christ Before Christ's 1st Coming and the Real Anti-Christ before Christ's 2nd Coming.
