Description

33 years is a short time to live, but it was long enough for this man to change the world forever. Despite the dominance of the ancient empires of Babylon, Egypt, Persia, and the great Greek city-states, this man came from an obscure region to world-shaking prominence. Before he had finished his brief life, some were actually convinced that he was nearly a deity. Long before he was born, prophecies of his life appeared in the Old Testament, and his vision of a unified kingdom that would stretch across the known world would be realized, and would last long after his life ended. We know this man as Alexander the Great.

Ranking at the loftiest heights of military history and for his leadership skills, still he became a viciously cruel and wicked leader. Upon his death-bed, when asked to whom he would like to leave his kingdom, his only reply was "To the most worthy." Little did he know how Jesus Christ would reign supreme so shortly after his death, in the lands he had ruled over!
