Alexander died on June 10, 323 BC, in Babylon when he was 33 years old. He was at the height of his power and wanted to be worshiped as a god.
Alexander's descendants could not govern, and his brother Philip was not capable.
because his kingdom will be … given to others: Several of Alexander's generals divided his empire. By 301 BC, their conflicts had divided it into four parts (see Daniel 7:4–7; 8:8–12 and Daniel 7:7–7; 8:8–12). God guides history, and its end belongs to him.
