History and Prophecy of the Middle East

The next time you read about peace in the Middle East, consider the facts: For over 4,000 years, the Middle East has been fraught with cultural, political and religious violence. Much of this history is recorded in the history book almost no one relies on—the Holy Bible. And what makes the Bible so unique, compared to other historical accounts, is that it recorded much of this history before it occurred!

Excerpt

For most, the fact that Daniel 10 and 11 record nearly 400 years of Middle Eastern conflict is not a big deal. After all, there are thousands of history books, many of which give a much more detailed account of the history than Daniel. But what makes Daniel’s version different is that it was written before the events happened! That’s right. Daniel wrote about 400 years of history before it was history! That makes it fulfilled prophecy. But part of this recorded history is yet to be fulfilled. Daniel said it would happen at the “time of the end.”

In this booklet, we will cover both parts of Daniel’s prophecy: that which has already been fulfilled, and that which will be fulfilled. Once you discover how astonishingly accurate Daniel was in recording events that have since happened, there should be no question that what he said would happen in the near future will, in fact, happen. As we study this passage, please read along in your own Bible, and learn this vital Middle East lesson in history and prophecy

Daniel 10:10 through 12:4 is the longest single vision in the Bible. God revealed it to Daniel during the third year of the reign of Cyrus the Great (Daniel 10:1)—around 535 b.c. That date alone makes what Daniel wrote in chapter 11 astonishing.
