Daniel 11
This chapter has incredible prophecy in it. For most kids, at least not yet in high school, the details of the kings won't make much sense. However, God documents the order of succession for Persia, Greece, and the fall of Greece...hundreds of years before they happened!
(v.32) The term, Abomination of Desolations, refers to the blasphemy of the Holy of Holies in the Temple. This is believed to ignite the Maccabees revolt, which took Rome years to put down.
A few hundred years later, Jesus told His disciples that the same thing will happen in the last days.
For families that love history, use a secular history text, and compare it to this chapter...you will see that it matches exactly! God is outside of time, so He can see the ending and the beginning of things at the same moment. I describe it as like being in a helicopter over a parade. The people in the streets only see what's happening in front of them, but the helicopter can see the beginning of the parade and the end of the parade at the same time!
