Chapter 15 STRATEGIES FROM A WORLD-FAMOUS GENERAL

N ATURAL TRUTH CAN REFLECT SPIRITUAL APPLICATIONS . This is true when comparing how strategies in a natural war can mirror the same strategies in a spiritual conflict. For example, there have been sixmajor empires of Bible prophecy: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Greece, Media-Persia, and Rome. At its peak each of these empires was noted to have both a strong military and strong leaders, each overpowering in war the empire that preceded it. To me, the most fascinating was the Greek Empire under the leadership of Alexander the Great. Without going into detailed history, at age twenty Alexander began his military campaigns, and by age thirty he had conquered and occupied all of the Babylonian and Media-Persian empires. At age thirty-three he died in Babylon, with practically no more nations to conquer. He did great things with a small army. It is the fighting methods and treatment of his army that distinguished Alexander from past and future commanders.
