Rise and Fall of Empires
Kings
of the South and the North
Daniel 11:12
"[And] when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be
lifted up; and he shall cast down [many] ten thousands: but he shall

when he hath
taken... Ptolemy
IV was initially successful in delaying the invasion of Antiochus.
his
heart shall... Even though the multitude was captured, his heart

shall
cast down... Ptolemy slaughtered many
thousands.
He shall not be...
Their
captor is not strengthened.
Great numbers do not
make a great army. Great leadership and great causes, make a great

Gideon's army of 300
caused the multitude {so many they were like grasshoppers}, of
Amalekites and Midianites to flee.
The size of an army
is not important. God's blessing on that army is what is important.
