Evidence for the Divine Inspiration of the Bible 07 – Daniel 11:5-12 Episode 169

Dan 11:5 And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.

In order to bring peace between the Northern and Southern kingdoms, Ptolemy II gave his daughter, Bernice in marriage to the King of the North, Antiochus II, in 249 B.C.

Upon hearing the news that Bernice's father, Ptolemy II had died, Bernice was told to pack her bags and go home. But wait…this soap opera isn't over.
