Did Alexander the Great ever lose an army?
Alexander the Great never really lost an army. He was known as a general who conquered with remarkable swiftness, moving his armies at speeds the then-known world had never seen. He took reckless chances, yet he always seemed to come out ahead, and his military campaign was unique in that he never truly lost an army.
Les teaches that Alexander the Great never really lost an army. He was known in history as a general who conquered with such swiftness, moving his armies with a speed the then-known world knew nothing of. He would take chances and was almost reckless, but he always seemed to come out, and he never really lost an army. Les notes this was unique to Alexander the Great's military campaign. The Scripture passage being discussed pictures this swiftness as the he-goat running in the fury of his power, and it identifies the rough goat as the king of Grecia and the great horn as Alexander the Great, the first king. Les also explains that after Alexander was broken—he died young, probably of alcoholism, at age 33—his empire was immediately divided between four of his generals.
