"The king of the South will become strong, but one of his commanders will become even stronger than he and will rule his own kingdom with great power. 6 After some years, they will become allies. The daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to make an alliance, but she will not retain her power, and he and his power ^[a] will not last. In those days she will be handed over, together with her royal escort and her father ^[b] and the one who supported her. (Daniel 11:5-6) NIV

The son of Ptolemy I (Ptolemy II), king of the South, gives Berenice, his daughter, to the king of the North who is Antiochus II, the successor of the Seleucid empire. After Ptolemy II died, Antiochus returned to his first wife, Laodice. Laodice poisons Antiochus and has Berenice and her son murdered; thus this fulfills verse 6.

"One from her family line will arise to take her place. He will attack the forces of the king of the North and enter his fortress; he will fight against them and be victorious. 8 He will also seize their gods, their metal images and their valuable articles of silver and gold and carry them off to Egypt. For some years he will leave the king of the North alone. 9 Then the king of the North will invade the realm of the king of the South but will retreat to his own country. 10 His sons will prepare for war and assemble a great army, which will sweep on like an irresistible flood and carry the battle as far as his fortress. (Daniel 11:7-10) NIV

Berenice's brother, Ptolemy III, strikes at Seleucus II, the son of Laodice. The result is a success and Ptolemy takes much treasure from his campaign. Seleucus manages to flee from the attack. When Ptolemy returns back to his land, Seleucus reclaims Syria.

Verse 10 is fulfilled when Seleucus III, the son of Seleucus II, amasses an army against the south. He was killed within two years. His brother, Antiochus III, continued the campaigns against the south.

"Then the king of the South will march out in a rage and fight against the king of the North, who will raise a large army, but it will be defeated. 12 When the army is carried off, the king of the South will be filled with pride and will slaughter many thousands, yet he will not remain triumphant. 13 For the king of the North will muster another army, larger than the first; and after several years, he will advance with a huge army fully equipped (Daniel 11:11-13) NIV

Ptolemy IV defeats Antiochius III in the battle at Raphia. As a result, the prideful king tries to enter the Jewish Holy of Holies which is forbidden. He slaughters "thousands" of Jews:

Later. Ptolemy IV loses the land he just received to the King of the North's new army.

"In those times many will rise against the king of the South. The violent men among your own people will rebel in fulfillment of the vision, but without success. 15 Then the king of the North will come and build up siege ramps and will capture a fortified city. The forces of the South will be powerless to resist; even their best troops will not have the strength to stand. 16 The invader will do as he pleases; no one will be able to stand against him. He will establish himself in the Beautiful Land and will have the power to destroy it. 17 He will determine to come with the might of his entire kingdom and will make an alliance with the king of the South. And he will give him a daughter in marriage in order to overthrow the kingdom, but his plans ^[c] will not succeed or help him. 18 Then he will turn his attention to the coastlands and will take many of them, but a commander will put an end to his insolence and will turn his insolence back upon him. 19 After this, he will turn back toward the fortresses of his own country but will stumble and fall, to be seen no more. (Daniel 11:14-19) NIV

Ptolemy IV and V face rebellion from Egyptians, but eventually fail. The might of the Seleucid Empire then defeats the Ptolemys and takes back the "Beautiful Land", which of course is Palestine/Israel. Finally, Antiochus gives Ptolemy Cleopatra I as a wife in hopes that she will tear Egypt apart. Unfortunately, Cleopatra did no side with her father, so Antiochus reached Greece (the coastlands). He was stopped by Rome which ended his glory. He returned to his country and later was killed.

Because of such accuracy of this prophecy, Daniel is usually dated in 160 BC by scholars since they disbelieve the existence of God. However, this theory holds no water. The book claims to be written in the 6th century BC and is supported. Josephus the historian has documented that Alexander the Great received a copy of Daniel when he took control of Jerusalem. The Septuagint includes Daniel (compiled from Hebrew to Greek in 300 BC). Furthermore, the Dead Sea Scrolls include Daniel and they are dated to about 200 BC.

Therefore we see that the prophecies of the Bible are very descriptive, accurate, and obviously divinely inspired. If you wish to see more, you may ask.

I have displayed the previous prophecies as evidence for the divinity and validity of the Bible whilst giving you examples what quality I expect prophecies from the Qur'an should have.

May God Bless You
