The Hellenistic World of Prophecy
After Alexander the Great's death, his empire split between the Ptolemies in Egypt and the Seleucids in Syria. We've walked the streets of Alexandria, the Ptolemies' capital, and the ruins of Antioch, the Seleucids' heart. This map shows the two kingdoms that Daniel's visions foretold - the “king of the South” (Ptolemy) and the “king of the North” (Seleucid) in Daniel 11. Their conflicts shaped the world of the Maccabees and set the stage for the coming of the Messiah. For travelers in Egypt, Israel, and Syria, this map connects the biblical prophecies to the Hellenistic cities and battlefields where history unfolded.
