Daniel 11:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
11 A prophecy of the kingdoms, which should be enemies to the Church of God, as of Persia, 3 Of Greece, 5 of Egypt, 28 of Syria, 36 and of the Romans.
1 Also I, in the first year of Darius of the Medes, even I [a]stood to encourage and to strengthen him.
2 And now will I show thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet [b]three kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength, and by his riches he shall stir up [c]all against the realm of Greece.
3 But a [d]mighty King shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his pleasure.
