The time period in Daniel 11:2-9 is later than Nebuchadnezzar’s dream but corresponds with chapter eight’s prophecy on the ram and the goat. Since the Babylonian empire has passed off the scene, the question arises about the length and scope of the Persian empire. The angel informs Daniel that he will tell him the truth and mentions three kings that will arise, and then a fourth king who will be greater in power and richer than his predecessors. He will use his wealth, power, and influence to stir up resentment against Greece.
