Guiding Questions: Daniel 11

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. In Daniel 11:3 is the “warrior king” quite possibly Alexander the Great?
  2. And, in Daniel 11:4 does this record the division of his Empire following his death?
  3. The sentences which follow would relate to what type of “political developments” — and do they appear to resemble the political chaos and subsequent maneuvering following the break up of the Alexandrian Empire?
  4. Although cast in the future (he will, etc.) does the narrative appear to describe events (however poeticized) which actually have transpired?
