THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES (Part I)

                     DANIEL 11:1-4














AS DANIEL ROSE TO VIEW THE SCENES
FROM GOD'S PRE-WRITTEN HISTORY COURSE
HE STOOD AMAZED AT WHAT HE SAW
THE FINAL WARS THAT END IT ALL.

THE HUB OF ALL PROPHETIC TRUTH
SURROUNDS THE PROMISE YAHWEH MADE
TO ISRAEL, THEIR ETERNAL HOME
SO SCATTERED JEWS CAN CALL THEIR OWN.

THE FIRST BRIEF CLIP TELLS OF FOUR KINGS
THAT SPRING FROM PERSIA'S RULING CLASS
CAMBYSES, SON OF CYRUS CAME
WITH PSEUDO-SMERDIS NEXT TO REIGN.

THEN DARIUS WHO USURPED THE THRONE
BY CLAIMING PROOF OF ROYAL BIRTH
ALLOWED THE JEWS THE TEMPLE WALLS
TO FINISH WHAT THAT PROMISE CALLS.

THEN XERXES WITH HIS WEALTH AND POWER
DESCRIBED IN ESTHER AS HIS QUEEN
INVADED GRECIAN STATES WITH FORCE
COMPLETING PROPHECY'S FIRST COURSE.

THE VERSES END BY POINTING OUT
A MIGHTY KING OF GRECIAN BIRTH
WHO'S CONQUERING POWER LIKE MIGHTY STEEDS
WERE MARKS OF ALEXANDER'S DEEDS.
--B. Pent
