AT ALEXANDER'S SUDDEN DEATH
HIS FIGHTING GENERALS TOOK COMMAND
BUT ONLY TWO CAME INTO VIEW
BECAUSE OF ISRAEL AND THE JEW.
AS DANIEL TOOK A SECOND LOOK
THE BATTLE LINES WERE QUICKLY DRAWN
BETWEEN THE KINGDOM OF THE NORTH
AND EGYPT'S KINGDOM TO THE SOUTH.
A RAPID GROUP OF PHOTO APPS
ARE SEEN DEPICTING BATTLES FOUGHT
BETWEEN THE MEN OF PTOLEMY
AS VERIFIED FROM HISTORY.
SELEUCID KINGS WHILE MARCHING SOUTH
ENGAGING WARS AGAINST THEIR FOE
WOULD OFTEN CONQUER JEWISH LAND
ENSLAVING ALL IN THEIR COMMAND.
BUT ONE WHO STANDS ABOVE THEM ALL
THE LITTLE HORN OF DANIEL EIGHT
REVEALS A MADMAN WITH DECEIT
WHOSE SUBTLE SCHEMES COULD NOT BE BEAT.
THIS KING, ANTIOCHUS THE FOURTH
WHO NAMES HIMSELF EPIPHANES
COMPELLED THE JEWS TO CHANGE THEIR LAW
BY OFFERING SWINE, THE CURSE OF ALL.
AS HELLENISTIC CULTURE SPREAD
WITH PAGAN RITUALS TAKING PLACE
THE TEMPLE MOUNT WHERE YAHWEH DWELT
BECAME THE PLACE WHERE ZEUS WAS FELT.
BUT MATTATHIAS, PRIEST OF GOD
CONDEMNED THE BREAKING OF THEIR LAWS
AND SOON A REVOLUTION SPREAD
BY JUDAS MACCABEAN LED.
THE WARS THAT DANIEL SAW THAT DAY
FULFILLED PRECISELY HISTORY'S CHART
BUT VIDEO SCENES THAT NEXT APPEAR
WERE SEALED UP FOR A FUTURE YEAR.
