Episode Details
Back to Episodes#479 - Kyle Thompson // Alexander the Great: The Dark Star
Description
We use Alexander the Great as a cautionary tale about a hunger that only grows, even when you “win.” We connect a chilling poem and Daniel’s prophecy to a personal gut check about whose glory we are building.
• the Word of God as the sword of the Spirit for the fight
• why Edmund Richardson’s Alexander biography lands so hard
• Lucan’s poem and the image of a “dark star”
• Alexander’s endless appetite for more and self-glory
• Daniel 8 and Daniel 11 as a prophetic obituary
• the empire splitting into four kingdoms after his death
• Proverbs 27:20 and the eyes of man never satisfied
• modern versions of conquest like promotions status and recognition
• the core question whose glory are you building and whose name is on it
Before you go, if you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five star rating and review.
