god and communication, page-21

Prophecy is what sets the bible apart from all other so called religious writings. Just ask Alexander the Great.

That's a powerful point Trademanic.

Josephus, in the first century C.E., records the Jewish tradition that Jerusalem opened it's gates in surrender & was spared. Alexander was met by the Jewish high priest and was shown the divinely inspired prophecies recorded by Daniel foretelling the lightning conquests by Greece. (Jewish Antiquities, XI, 326-338 [viii, 4, 5]; Da 8:5-7, 20, 21).
How's that for an example of benefitting from paying heed to divine communication.
