⁵And 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.
⁶And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.

¹⁶But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.

¹⁸After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.
¹⁹Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.
²⁰Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle. (Dan. 11:3‑20)

• Greece follows—the Grecian kingdom as formed by the conquests of Alexander. And yet not only as held by him, for “the beast had also four heads”; and hence, just as the single head of gold symbolized Nebuchadnezzar and his dynasty, so the successors of Alexander are seen in these four heads, the dominion of Alexander being finally divided after his death into four kingdoms, ruled over by four of his generals. (“Daniel 7” by E. Dennett)

• The leopard with the four wings of a fowl on its back, are agility and speed in execution—features which, in a remarkable manner, distinguished Alexander in his wars and conquests. (“Daniel 7” by E. Dennett)
