tip, BIOG REYE HOMB HOAT HONT = “man’s helper”. (a) Alexander the Great, King of Greece; he is not mentioned by name in the Scriptures, though he is in the apocryphal First Book of Maccabees (1 Macc. 1:1-9; 6:2). However, he is mentioned prophetically, mainly in the book of Daniel, some 200 years before he was born; the Greek Empire appears in the statue of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream (Dan. 2) as belly and thighs of bronze, as successor to the Medo-Persian Empire (chest and arms of silver); the third animal of Daniel’s vision (Dan. 7:6); the male goat, in another vision (Dan. 8:5); “a mighty king” (Dan. 11:3). In Zack. 6:2, 3, where the four great empires are alluded to, the third, the kingdom of Greece, is compared to a chariot with white horses. Alexander the Great, son of Philip II and Olympias, was born in Pella in 356 BC he became king of Macedonia when his father was assassinated in 336; he subdued the Greeks in 335; to the Persians 334; he conquered Tyre; conquered Syria and Egypt in 331; conquered Parthia, Media, Bactria, and invaded India, 330-324, and tried to make further conquests, but died in Babylon in 323 BC These dates show the crushing speed of his campaigns, consistent with the imagery we have give the passages quoted in the preceding paragraph. He was of an exceedingly cruel character, as is shown by his behavior in the conquest of Tyre; after a long and valiant resistance, Alexander, enraged, massacred 8,000 inhabitants, crucifying 2,000 of them; of the rest, those who could not flee by sea, 30,000 were sold into slavery. We see, both in its speed and in its ferocity, the leopard. Flavius Josephus gives interesting details about his conquest of Palestine and his behavior in Jerusalem (Ant. 11:8). (b) Son of Simon, the man from Cyrene who was forced to bear the cross of the Lord (Mark 15:21). (c) One of the chief among the Jews at the arrest of Peter and John (Acts 4:6). (d) A Jew from Ephesus who tried to address the crowd in the theater (Acts 19:33). (e) One of the church who, shipwrecked in faith, was handed over by Paul to Satan, that he might learn not to blaspheme (1 Tim. 1:20). (f) The tinker who hurt Paul, whom Timothy had to beware of (2 Tim. 4:14). It could be the same as the previous one.

(Defender of Man).
1. Alexander the Great, son of Philip II of Macedon and his wife Olympias. He was born in Pella in 356 BC. CE Although his name is not mentioned in the Bible, his reign over the fifth world power was predicted two centuries before his birth. (Da 8:5-7, 20, 21.)
Only two years after having ascended the throne after the assassination of his father, Alexander set out to conquer the world. He was in his early twenties at the time. (Da 8:5) The dashing young military strategist deployed his comparatively small army in a phalanx formation—a deep mass of ranks of armed soldiers—a military tactic that his father began to use and that Alexander perfected to a high standard. of efficacy.
After achieving two decisive victories over the armies of Persia (the first along the Granicus River and the second on the plain of Isos, where a large Persian army, estimated to number half a million soldiers, suffered a crushing defeat), Alexander he did not go in pursuit of the Persians, but instead fixed his attention on the island city of Tyre. Centuries before, it had been predicted that the walls, towers, and houses of Tyre would be demolished and thrown into the sea. (Eze 26:4, 12) It is significant, therefore, that Alexander took the rubble of the ancient city, which had been on the mainland and had been destroyed years before by Nebuchadnezzar, and built with it a 2,500-foot embankment . long until reaching the islet of Tyre. The attack of his fleet from the sea and the use of war machines culminated in the destruction of the proud lady of the sea in July 332 BC. CE
The city of Jerusalem, however, surrendered, opening its gates to him without offering resistance. According to Josephus (Jewish Antiquities, book XI, chap. VIII, sec. 5), Alexander was shown the book of Daniel and its prophecy—presumably chapter 8—about a mighty king of Greece who would subdue and conquer the persian empire Satisfied, Alexander spared the city and proceeded south to Egypt, where he was received as a liberator. There he founded the city of Alexandria, a cultural center where the Seventies Version would later be made. From Egypt, Alexander headed E., passing again through Palestine, and in the vicinity of Gaugamela he swept away with 47,000 men the reorganized Persian army, composed of 1,000,000 soldiers. Events unfolded quickly: Darius III was assassinated by his relatives, Babylon surrendered, and Alexander seized Susa and Persepolis. Before turning his sight towards the west, Alexander continued his campaign, marching towards India.
events after the conquest. Alexander had great projects for the reconstruction of Babylon and intended to make it his capital city, but he never carried them out. Just as Daniel had foretold, he was “broken” in death. (Da 8:8) Now, if his ambitious plan to rebuild Babylon did not materialize, it was not only because of his sudden death in 323 B.C. CE—while he was still thirty-two—because of malarial fevers aggravated by his reckless lifestyle, but because Jehovah had determined long in advance that Babylon would never be rebuilt. (Jer 50:35-40)
During his short life, Alexander married Roxana, the daughter of a subdued Bactrian king, and Statira, a daughter of the Persian king Darius III. Roxana bore him a son, whom she named Alexander (Aigos), and also had an illegitimate son, named Heracles (Hercules), with a woman named Barsina. However, Daniel’s prophecy had anticipated that his empire would not pass † œto his posterity †; consequently, a few years after Alexander’s death, both his heirs and his entire family were eliminated. (Da 11:3, 4) Furthermore, it had also been foretold: “And since that one was broken, so that there were four that finally stood up instead of him, there are four kingdoms of his nation that will stand up, but not with his power† . (Da 8:22) Thus, it was no mere historical coincidence that the empire was divided among four of its generals: Seleucus Nicator took Mesopotamia and Syria, Cassander took Macedonia and Greece, Ptolemy Lake took Egypt and Palestine, while Lysimachus controlled Thrace and Asia Minor.
Alexander’s conquest left a very deep mark on the historical future because with it both the Greek language and culture spread to almost every corner of the world at that time. Common or koi·ne Greek became an international language, which is why the last part of the Bible was written in this language and not in Hebrew.
2. Son of Simon of Cyrene and brother of Rufus. His father was forced to carry Jesus’ torture stake. (Mr 15:21; Lu 23:26.)
3. A relative of the high priest Annas who was present at the trial of Peter and John. (Ac 4:6.)
4. Jew who was present in Ephesus when the silversmiths raised a riot against Paul. When he tried to speak to the crowd, the enraged crowd silenced him. (Ac 19:33, 34)
5. A Christian who, along with Hymenaeus, †˜experienced shipwreck regarding his faith†™ and was expelled for blasphemy. (1Ti 1:19, 20) It may be the same one mentioned in no. 6.
6. The tinker whom Paul warned Timothy about for the “many evils” he had caused him. (2Ti 4:14, 15)
