THE BIBLE & GREECE: THE SHAGGY GOAT
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. The Bible And Greece
a) The Old Testament, although completed before the time of the Greek empire, speaks of it predictably in prophecy.
b The New Testament, although written after the time of the Greek empire, is still influenced by it because Greek culture lived on strongly even after the empire fell. The Greek language was chosen by God as the tongue in which every book of the New Testament was written. The New Testament sometimes even calls all non-Jews "the Greeks" because in New Testament times a lot of the world spoke Greek and borrowed its culture.
2. The Shaggy Goat
a) The beasts of Daniel 7 and 8 tie in with the parts of the image in Daniel 2. The ram represents Medo-Persia and the shaggy goat Greece, as explained by the angel Gabriel (Daniel 8:20-21).
