The History of Daniel, Part 3 (Ironworks Podcast #65) | Pastor Tyler Warner and Zachary Grafman

Firebrand is available NOW! https://www.ironworks.media/bookstore... Welcome to Episode 65 of the IronWorks podcast! Join Pastor Tyler and Zach as they continue their intriguing series on biblical history, focusing on the compelling narratives within the Book of Daniel. This episode unravels the fall of Babylon and its historic and prophetic significance. In this episode, we cover: 🏛️ Daniel 11 & Verified Prophecy in History: Why Daniel 11 is one of the hardest chapters for pastors to teach—and one of the strongest proofs of biblical prophecy. How skeptics use circular reasoning to deny predictive prophecy in Daniel. The role of Porphyry of Tyre and his ancient attack “Against the Christians.” ⚔️ Persia, Greece, and the Rise of Alexander: Daniel’s prediction of the last Persian kings and the rise of Greece. Xerxes (Ahasuerus of Esther) and his failed invasion of Greece, including the Battle of Salamis. Alexander the Great as the “mighty king” whose kingdom is shattered and divided after his early death. 🧭 Kings of the North & South: Egypt vs. Syria: Identifying the “king of the South” (Ptolemies in Egypt) and “king of the North” (Seleucids in Syria). How their border wars constantly rolled through the land of Israel. Specific fulfillments in Daniel 11 that line up with: Ptolemy and Seleucid intermarriage alliances. The scandal of Berenice and Laodice and the assassinations that followed. Multiple “Syrian Wars” and the tug-of-war over Judea. 🧱 Rome Enters the Story: How Antiochus III pushed into Thrace and ran into early Roman power. The Battle of Magnesia and the Treaty of Apamea. Why Roman commanders (like Scipio) show up right where Daniel 11 says “a commander” would arise. 👑 Antiochus IV Epiphanes & the Abomination of Desolation: How Antiochus IV seized the throne “by flattery” and political maneuvering. His repeated attempts to invade Egypt and how Rome stopped him. His rage-fueled crackdown on Jerusalem when those attempts failed. Forced Hellenization of the Jews: Outlawing Torah, Sabbath, and circumcision. Converting the temple into a shrine to Zeus. Offering pigs on the altar. How this fulfills Daniel’s “abomination that makes desolate” and sets the stage for later New Testament usage of that phrase. 🕎 The Maccabean Revolt, Hanukkah & Jewish Independence: Mattathias and Judah Maccabee (“the Hammer”) launching guerrilla warfare. Cleansing and rededicating the temple—the historical backdrop to Hanukkah. The Hasmonean dynasty, the rise of the Pharisees, and growing internal division. How these events convinced Jewish leaders to court Rome as a protector—laying the groundwork for Roman occupation. 🏛️ From Daniel to the Gospels: Filling the 400 “Silent” Years: How Daniel 11 effectively walks us through the intertestamental period. The fall of the Seleucids, Rome’s takeover, and the rise of Herod the Great. Why the political and religious world of Jesus’ day (Pharisees, Sadducees, Herod, Pilate, Caesar) only makes sense if you understand this history. 🐉 Typology & the Future Antichrist: Why Antiochus IV is seen as a type or foreshadowing of the final Antichrist. Where many scholars see Daniel 11 pivot from near-fulfillment (Antiochus) to far-fulfillment (future Antichrist) in verse 36. How incredibly specific fulfilled prophecy strengthens our confidence in what’s still to come.
