So I read that Alexander the great arrived at the gates of Jerusalem and the Jews did the right thing by opening the gates to him for the first time lol, after they had given him wine and bread, the priests read to him a prophecy which was written by Daniel that foretold how a goat from the West(King of Greece) would knock out the ram(Persian Empire), Alexander upon hearing this was glad but did he not appoint a viceroy over the Jews to run the province for him like he did with many of his other provinces and why does scripture mention the leaders of the other empires and leaves out Alexander, Alexander is expressed figuratively while the others have been mentioned by name:
King Nebuchadnezzar-Babylonian Empire
Cyrus The Great-Persian Empire
Goat from the West-Greco Empire
Augustus Caesar-Roman Empire
Are there any canonical sources that mention what Alexander did when the Jews surrendered, I would really love to know what happened.
And then the king of Greece does not serve any close role like Nebuchadnezzar throwing Daniel in the furnace and notices the Son of Man in there or Cyrus ordering the rebuilding of the temple and ending of the Babylonian exile of the Jews or Augustus Caesar ordering the counting of all people, Jesus involved. Why is Alexander not even mentioned anywhere in the following version "and when the king of Greece approached Jerusalem, the king and priests knowing this to be a fulfillment of prophecy, opened the gates to him and gave him bread and wine and read to him a prophecy by Daniel foretelling his military conquest." Is there any source that sites this?
