THE BOOK OF DANIEL (CHAPTER EIGHT---PART TWO)

CONTINUING WITH THE FORMATION OF THE ONE WORLD SYSTEM,  SATAN BEING IN CHARGE OF THE WHOLE WORLD, AND THE END OF THIS EARTH AGE (FUTURE).

Daniel 8:11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the Prince (CHRIST) of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice (HOLY COMMUNION) was taken away, and the place of His sanctuary (JERUSALEM= EZEKIEL 16) was cast down.

LITTLE HORN (SATAN) MAGNIFIED HIMSELF BY PLAYING THE ROLE OF CHRIST, TAKING HOLY COMMUNION AWAY AND REPLACING IT WITH HIM. IT'S THE GREAT APOSTASI OF THE CHURCH (II THESS. 2:3), MEANING, THE CHURCH CHANGING FROM WORSHIPPING THE TRUE CHRIST, TO WORSHIPPING THE FALSE ONE THINKING HE IS CHRIST. THEY TAKE HOLY COMMUNION TO HONOR HIM INSTEAD OF THE TRUE CHRIST.

THIS BELONG TO THE TIME OF THE END, AND WAS NOT FULFILLED OF ANTIOCHUS AS SOME BELIEVE. HIS CAREER WAS A FORESHADOWING OF IT, TO SHOW THAT THE FULFILMENT WILL YET BE EXHAUSTED BY HIM WHO IS "THE LITTLE HORN" (SATAN).

8:12  And an host (LIKE AN ARMY) was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practiced, and prospered.

AN ARMY OF SINNERS THAT CAN BE EASILY DECEIVED WENT AGAINST THE DAILY SACRIFICE. THE TRUTH OF GOD WAS GONE.

IN OTHER WORDS, DECEPTION HAS TAKEN OVER AND THE CHURCH HAS ACCEPTED IT.

8:13  Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, 'How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice ( HOLY COMMUNION, CHRIST'S CRUCIFIXION), and the transgression of desolation (THE SETTING UP OF THE DESOLATING OR ASTOUNDING REBELLION), to give both the sanctuary and the host (THE TECHNICAL TERM FOR THE MINISTERS OF THE SANCTUARY) to be trodden under foot?

8:14  And he said unto me, 'Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.'

HE WON'T CLEANSE IT AGAIN UNTIL HIS RETURN.

MAKE A NOTE OF JOSHUA 23:13.

8:15  And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.

HERE IT IS GABRIEL (GOD'S MAN IN THE HEBREW). GABRIEL IS THE ANGEL WHO SOUNDS MANY ALARMS.

8:16  And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai (PURE WATER), which called, and said, 'Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.'

THE FIRST OF TWO ANGELS WHO ARE NAMED IN SCRIPTURE. THE SECOND ONE IS MICHAEL.

8:17  So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face (HE PASSED OUT): but he said unto me, 'Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision (END OF THIS EARTH AGE).'

GABRIEL IS SAYING HERE THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AT THE END OF THIS AGE, NOT AT THE TIME OF ANTIOCHUS.

8:18  Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground (HE PASSED OUT. HE COULD HANDLE SEEING GABRIEL. WHY ? BECAUSE HE IS SUPERNATURAL): but he touched me, and set me upright.

8:19  And he said, 'Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation (WRATH OF GOD): for at the time appointed the end shall be. 

ANOTHER INDICATION OF THE TIME OF THE FULFILMENT OF THE VISION AT THE TIME APPOINTED.

8:20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media (MIDDLE LAND) and Persia (PURE).

HERE IN VERSE 20 WE HAVE THE BEGINNING OF THE INTERPRETATION; WHICH COMMENCES WITH PAST HISTORY WITH WHICH THE PROPHECY (WHICH BELONGS TO THE FUTURE) IS LINKED ON. THIS IS TO CONNECT ANTICIPATORY AND PARTIAL, OR FORESHADOWING, FULFILMENT, WHICH SHOWS HOW THE "LITTLE HORN" WILL ACT, IN A SIMILAR WAY AS AN INDIVIDUAL, AND NOT AS A SERIES OF KINGS OR POPES.

8:21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia (ALEXANDER THE GREAT):  and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

8:22  Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it (IN THE PLACE THEREOF), four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power (SATANIC POWER).

THESE ARE SAID TO HAVE BEEN: 1. PTOLEMY'S (EGYP, PALESTINE, AND SOME PARTS OF ASIA MINOR), 2. CASSANDERS'S (MACEDONIA, AND GREECE), 3. LYSIMACHUS'S (BITHYNIA,THRACE, MYSIA), 4. SELEUCUS'S (SYRIA, ARMENIA, AND TERRITORY EAST OF THE EUPHRATES). BUT THE CONTINUITY OF ALEXANDER'S DOMINION CEASED WITH HIM, AND WILL NOT BE SEEN AGAIN TILL "THE LITTLE HORN" ARISES.

THIS IS ALL FUTURE.

8:23  And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full (OR, HAVE FILLED UP THEIR MEASURE. THEREFORE NOT FULL YET. THE ONE WORLD SYSTEM), a king of fierce countenance (A KING OF MIGHTY PRESENCE. ONE OF THE TITLES OF THE ANTICHRIST), and understanding dark sentences (SKILLED IN DISSIMULATION), shall stand up.

IT'S SATAN PLAYING THE ROLE OF CHRIST (ANTICHRIST=INSTEAD OF CHRIST IN THE GREEK).

8:24  And his power shall be mighty, but not of his own power PEOPLE MAKE SATAN POWERFUL): and he shall destroy the mighty and the holy people (HE WILL DESTROY THE MIGHTY AND THE CHURCH, BY DECEPTION).

8:25  And through his policy also he shall cause craft (DECEIT) to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify (PRIDE) himself in his heart, and by peace (NOT WAR) shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes (THE MESSIAH); but he shall be broken without hand (CAST DOWN TO THE PIT).

MAKE A NOTE OF 2 THESS. 2:8.

8:26  And the vision of the evening and the morning (THE 2,300 DAYS) which was told is true (YOU CAN COUNT ON IT. IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN):  wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.'

8:27  And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.

IT WASN'T MEANT FOR DANIEL TO UNDERSTAND BECAUSE IT WAS NOT MEANT FOR HIS TIME.

GOD BLESS

THE BOOK OF DANIEL (CHAPTER EIGHT---PART ONE)

 

                                                 THE VISION OF THE TWO BEASTS.

CHAPTER SEVEN ENDS THE PORTION OF THE BOOK WRITTEN IN CHALDEE. NOW WE ARE GOING BACK TO THE HEBREW.

IN THIS CHAPTER (# 8 IS A NEW BEGINNING IN BIBLICAL NUMERICS), WE WILL SEE WHAT THE CHILDREN WILL BE DOING WHEN THEY COME OUT OF CAPTIVITY FROM THE KING OF BABYLON. HE WAS ONLY A TYPE, SHOWING US WHAT SHALL HAPPEN UNDER THE REIGN OF THE NEW KING OF BABYLON IN THE END GENERATION.

THE FUTURE KING OF BABYLON IS SATAN.

Daniel 8:1  In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar (PRINCE OF BAAL) a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.

THERE IS A TWO YEAR DELAY BETWEEN 7TH AND 8TH CHAPTER. AT THE END OF THE BABYLONIAN EMPIRE, FOR BELSHAZZAR REIGNED LITTLE MORE THAN TWO YEARS.

THIS IS TWO YEARS LATER, AFTER THE DREAM OF THE 4 BEASTS OF CHAPTER 7.

DANIEL IS 87 YEARS OLD HERE.

LIKE THE VISION IN CHAPTER 7, THIS ALSO IS COMPLETE IN ITSELF, BUT IS NECESSARY TO CONTRIBUTE ITS PROOF OF THE UNITY OF THE BOOK AS A WHOLE. THIS VISION (AND THE REST OF THE BOOK FROM HERE) IS WRITTEN IN HEBREW; BECAUSE ITS PURPOSE IS TO SHOW HOW GENTILE DOMINION (OF CHAPTER 2) SPECIALLY CONCERNS AND AFFECTS ISRAEL.

8:2  And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan (THE CHIEF CITY OF ALL PERSIA. IT MEANS LILLY) in the palace, which is in the province of Elam (ETERNITY); and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai ( PURE WATER.  THE EULAEUS CANAL NEAR SUSA. NOW KARUN RIVER).

8:3  Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram (SYMBOLIC OF A LEADER IN ISRAEL=FUTURE. NOT THE TODAY'S COUNTRY OF ISRAEL, BUT THE TRUE ISRAEL=CHRISTIAN KINGDOM) which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last (LESS POWERFUL).

IN HISTORY, THE RAM WAS PERSIA, AND THE TWO HORNS WERE THE KINGS OF MEDIA AND PERSIA. CYRUS WAS HIGHER MEANING, HE BECAME GREATER THAN HIS FATHER ASTYAGES. BOTH WERE IN EXISTENCE WHEN DANIEL SAW THE VISION (VERSE 20).

IN THE FUTURE, THE RAM IS A LEADER FORM ISRAEL, THE CHRISTIAN NATIONS OF GREAT BRITAIN, CANADA, UNITED STATES.

8:4  I saw the ram pushing westward (TO THE WEST), and northward (TO THE NORTH), and southward (TO THE SOUTH); so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great (ACTED PROUDLY).

8:5  And as I was considering, behold, an he goat (SYMBOLIC OF EVIL) came out of the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

THE HE-GOAT WAS THE ACKNOWLEDGED SYMBOL OF GREECE, AS THE RAM WAS OF PERSIA.

IN THE FUTURE, THIS IS THE FORMATION OF THE ONE WORLD SYSTEM.

8:6  And he came to the ram that had two horns (HORNS ARE SYMBOLIC OF POWER), which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.

IN HISTORY, IT SYMBOLIZES THE RAPIDITY OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT 'S REQUESTS, WHICH, IN THE SHORT SPACE OF 13 YEARS, SUBDUED THE WORLD.

8:7  And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved (MOVED HIMSELF, OR STROVE VIOLENTLY WITH) with choler (BILE) against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand (NO DELIVERER THAT COULD DELIVER HIM OUT OF HIS POWER).

8:8  Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven (ONLY GOD CAN CAUSE THE 4 WINDS TO BLOW ON EARTH.  THEY BLOW FROM ALL 4 DIRECTIONS AT ONE TIME AND AT ONE POINT. GOD HAD STEPPED IN WHEN YOU HEAR OF THE 4 WINDS).

IN HISTORY, IT WAS THE GREAT EXTENT OF ALEXANDER'S CONQUESTS, AS "RAN" (VERSE 6) REFERS TO THE RAPIDITY OF THEM.

IN THE FUTURE SATAN IS FORMULATING HIS SYSTEM TOWARD THE ONE WORLD ORDER.

8:9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn (SATAN), which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land (JERUSALEM).

HE CAME IN ALL DIRECTIONS.

8:10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven (STARS= ANGELS); and it cast down some of the host and of the stars (ANGELS) to the ground, and stamped upon them (TRAMPLED FROM UNDER FOOT).

THEM= THE PEOPLE SYMBOLIZED BY THEM.

DO NOT MISS PART TWO.

GOD BLESS

THE BOOK OF DANIEL (CHAPTER SEVEN---PART TWO)

 

DANIEL WAS A PROPHET AND HE PROPHESIED DURING JUDAH'S CAPTIVITY BY THE BABYLONIANS. GOD GAVE DANIEL DREAMS AND VISIONS IN REGARDS OF THE FUTURE AND THE COMING OF SATAN AND HIS ONE WORLD SYSTEM.

CHAPTER SEVEN ADDRESSES THE FOUR HIDDEN DYNASTIES (POLITICS, ECONOMY, EDUCATION, RELIGION) THAT BRING THE ONE WORLD SYSTEM INTO POWER WITH SATAN BEING THE HEAD OF IT.

IT ALSO ADDRESSES THE DEATH OF THAT GOVERNMENT AND THE DEATH OF THOSE WHO FOLLOWIT, WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH (THE DEATH OF THE SOUL).

Daniel 7:11  'I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake (HORN=POWER. ) I beheld even till the beast (SATAN'S POLITICAL SYSTEM, REV. 13) was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.

IN OTHER WORDS,  SATAN'S POLITICAL SYSTEM IS DESTROYED UPON CHRIST'S RETURN.

7:12  As concerning the rest of the beasts (THE REST OF HIS DOMINIONS), they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time (FOR AN APPOINTED TIME).

A  LENGTHENING OF THEIR LIFE WAS GIVEN TO THEM: I.E. THE REMAINING THREE AFTER THE FOURTH BEAST HAS BEEN DESTROYED.

IN OTHER WORDS, SATAN'S POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS SYSTEM ARE THROWN IN THE LAKE OF FIRE (REV. 20:10).

HOW THEIR LIVES WERE PROLONGED FOR THE APPOINTED TIME, WHICH IS THE MILLENNIUM (CHRIST'S THOUSAND YEAR REIGN)? THEY WON'T BE DESTROYED UNTIL AFTER THE MILLENNIUM, WHEN SATAN IS RELEASED FOR A SHORT TIME TO DECEIVE THE NATIONS AGAIN. THEIR DESTRUCTION WILL HAPPEN ON JUDGMENT DAY (REV. 20).

ON THE OTHER HAND, THE SEVEN THOUSAND FALLEN ANGELS (SATAN'S OFFICERS) WILL DIE INSTANTLY UPON CHRIST'S RETURN (REV. 11:13).

7:13  I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of Man (CHRIST) came with the clouds of heaven (HE IS COMING BACK WITH A CLOUD OF WITNESSES), and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought Him near before Him.

HARVEST ARRIVED AND CHRIST IS READY TO RULE THE WORLD.

7:14  And there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve Him: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

EVERY KNEE WILL BOW DOWN TO CHRIST, BUT SADLY WHEN SATAN IS RELEASED FOR A SHORT TIME (REV. 20) TO TEST THE WORLD AGAIN, THEY WILL FAIL THE TEST AND FOLLOW SATAN INSTEAD OF CHRIST.

7:15  I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.

I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT. HE DID UNDERSTAND THE ONE IN CHAPTER TWO.

7:16  I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.

THE ANGEL THAT STOOD THERE EXPLAINED THIS TO ME.

7:17  'These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise from the earth.

THESE ARE SATAN'S FOUR DYNASTIES.

THE TWO WHICH HAD ALREADY RISEN CANNOT BE THEREFORE INCLUDED: VIZ. BABYLON AND MEDO-PERSIA, WHICH ALMOST (AT THIS TIME) EQUALLED BABYLON IN EXTENT.

THE VISION IS NOT CONTINUOUS HISTORY, BUT THE PROPHECY OF A CRISIS: AND REFERS TO THE TEN TOES (TEN KINGS=ONE WORLD SYSTEM) OF THE FIFTH POWER OF DANIEL 2 (THE FIFTH PART HAD TO DO WITH NATIONS THAT WILL BRING THE ONE WORLD SYSTEM INTO POWER). THE ONE WORLD ORDER WILL NOT BE COMPLETED UNTIL SATAN COMES IN POWER TO COMPLETE IT. IT WILL RECEIVE A DEADLY WOUND (REV. 13:3) IN THIS, AND IN EACH SUCCESSIVE VISION WE ARE ALWAYS DIRECTED TO THE END AND CONSUMMATION.

7:18  But the saints of the MOST HIGH shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.'

THE SAINTS WILL FIGHT A SPIRITUAL WAR AND THEY WILL WIN AT THE END.

7:19  Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast (THE DECEPTION OF THE CHURCH=RELIGION IS ONE OF THE FOUR DYNASTIES HE WILL CONTROL), which was diverse (BECAUSE IT'S A SYSTEM) from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;

THE DECEPTION IS VERY STRONG.

7:20  And of the ten horns that were in his head (THE ONE WORLD SYSTEM) , and of the other (LITTLE HORN= SATAN) which came up, and which three fell; even of that horn (LITTLE HORN) that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.

HE IS COMING TO PLAY THE ROLE OF CHRIST AND HE WILL DECEIVE MANY. HE IS SUPERNATURAL AND VERY INTELLIGENT.

7:21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with saints, and prevailed against them;

THE TEXT SAY, 'HE CAUSED THEM TO MISS A STEP'. HOWEVER, GOD WILL GUIDE OUR WAY AND  WILL NOT MISS A STEP.

7:22  Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

WE WILL HAVE THE VICTORY AT THE END.

7:23  Thus he said, 'The fourth beast shall be the four kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

THIS IS HIS RELIGIOUS SYSTEM. HE IS GIVING HERE AN ADDITIONAL INTERPRETATION.

7:24  And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings (THESE ARE THE WORLD LEADERS THAT CONTROL THE WORLD. THEY REPRESENT THE SEVEN DOMINIONS OR SEVEN CONTINENTS) that shall arise: and another shall rise after them ; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings (GREAT BRITAIN, CANADA, UNITED STATES. IT WILL BE HARD FOR THE THREE KINGS BECAUSE THE SAINTS WILL BE WORKING HEAVILY).

7:25  And he shall speak great words against the MOST HIGH, and shall wear out (AFFLICT) the saints of the MOST HIGH, and think to change times and laws (SEASONS AND LAWS. GOD WAS THE GOVERNMENT. NOT EVEN ONE DOMINION TODAY OBEYS GOD. SO WE CAN SEE HOW THE SEASONS AND LAWS HAVE BEEN CHANGED.): and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time (3 1/2 YEARS. HOWEVER, CHRIST CHANGED THE TIME, NOT THE EVENTS, TO FIVE MONTHS FOR THE ELECT'S SAKE. MARK 13:20, REV. 9:10-11).

7:26  But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end (WHEN CHRIST RETURNS).

THIS IS THE DETERMINING FACTOR OF THE INTERPRETATION.

7:27  And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven (UNDER HEAVEN IS EARTH), shall be given to the People of the saints of the MOST HIGH, Whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him.

NOT EVEN ONE OBEYS HIM TODAY.

7:28  Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much trouble me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.

DANIEL COULD NOT QUITE UNDERSTAND IT.

HERE ENDS THE PORTION OF THE BOOK WRITTEN IN THE CHALDEE (OR GENTILE) LANGUAGE.

NOTE: THE BOOK OF REVELATION IS AN OVERLAY OF THE BOOK OF DANIEL.

DAVID IS RETURNING WITH CHRIST EZEKIEL 34:24).

GOD BLESS

THE BOOK OF DANIEL (CHAPTER SEVEN---PART ONE)

                         CHAPTER SEVEN IS THREE YEARS BEFORE CHAPTER SIX.

                            BELSHAZZAR IS STILL ALIVE IN THIS CHAPTER.

IN THE LAST CHAPTER DANIEL WAS THROWN IN THE DEN OF LIONS FOR NOT OBEYING THE DECREE OF THE KING. THE KING WAS TRICKED BY HIS OWN GOVERNORS TO SIGN A DEGREE TO STOP ALLOWING DANIEL TO WORSHIP HIS GOD. THEREFORE, DANIEL WAS THROWN INTO THE DEN OF LIONS FOR DISOBEYING, BUT THE LORD RESCUED HIM. 

THE KING PUNISHED THOSE EVIL GOVERNORS (HE LOVED DANIEL), BY THROWING THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES INTO THE DEN OF LIONS AND THEY WERE ALL CONSUMED.

Daniel 7:1  In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.

THIS WAS IN 429 B.C. DANIEL BEING 84 YEARS OLD. THREE YEARS BEFORE THE EVENTS OF CHAPTER SIX.
THIS VISION (CHAPTER 7) IS STILL IN CHALDEE (THE GENTILE LANGUAGE), BECAUSE IT IS THE CONTINUATION OF 2:44, AND SHOWS WHAT WILL TAKE PLACE IN "THE DAYS OF THOSE KINGS" BEFORE THE STONE STRIKES THE IMAGE. IT BRINGS US UP TO THE END OF GENTILE DOMINION OVER ISRAEL.

BELSHAZAR WAS THE LAST KING OF BABYLON.

THE FUTURE KING OF BABYLON (CONFUSION IN THE HEBREW) IS SATAN.

7:2  Daniel spake and said, "I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.

THE FOUR WINDS REPRESENT THE END OF THIS EARTH AGE (REV. 7). ALL BLOWING AT THE SAME TIME BRINGING THE END.

SEA IS SYMBOLIC OF PEOPLE, NATIONS, MULTITUDES (REV. 17:15).

7:3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

THEY ARE THE 4 HEAD DYNASTIES: 1. EDUCATION. 2. POLITICAL. 3. ECONOMY. 4. RELIGION.

7:4  The first was like a lion (LOOKED LIKE A LION), and had eagle's wings (THE WINGS THAT GOD SAID, I WILL PROTECT YOU): I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man (LOOKED LIKE A MAN), and a man's heart was given to it.

THIS IS THE KENITE SYSTEM...THE ONE WORLD ORDER.

7:5  And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear (A BEAR IS SYMBOLIC OF RUSSIA). and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it, 'Arise, devour much flesh.'

THERE WAS A 5TH PART THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE NATIONS.

7:6  After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard (THE KENITES), which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. 

7:7  After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

THE 10 HORNS ARE THE 10 RULERS OF THE WORLD THAT WILL BRING FORTH THE WORLD PEACE. THE 10 HORNS ARE ADDRESSED IN REV. 17:12.

THEY ARE DREADFUL AND TERRIBLE BECAUSE OF THE DECEPTION.

7:8  I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn (SATAN), before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots (LITERALLY DESTROY THEM): and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man (ISAIAH 14. 'IS THIS THE MAN (SATAN) THAT DECEIVETH THE WHOLE WORLD? MAN=ISH, NOT ADAM. MEANING HE IS CREATED FROM A DIFFERENT SUBSTANCE THAT US. HE IS NOT FLESH), and a mouth speaking great things.

THE LITTLE HORN=A HORN OF SMALL BEGINNINGS. THIS IDENTIFIES THE FIRST OF 12 TITLES GIVEN TO THE POWER COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE ANTICHRIST (SATAN). OTHER TITLES ARE THE KING OF BABYLON (ISAIAH 14:4), THE ASSYRIAN (ISAIAH 14:25), LUCIFER,  "SON OF THE MORNING", IN OPPOSITION TO "THE BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR" (ISAIAH 14:12), "THE PRINCE THAT SHALL COME" (DANIEL 9:26), "THE KING OF FIERCE COUNTENANCE" (DANIEL 8:23), "THE VILE PERSON" (DANIEL 11:21), "THE WILFUL KING (DANIEL 11:36), "THE MAN OF SIN", (II THESS. 2:3), "THE SON OF PERDITION" (II THESS. 2:3), "THAT WICKED OR LAWLESS ONE (II THESS. 2:8, REV. 13:18), "THE BEAST WITH TEN HORNS" (REV. 13:1).

MAKE A NOTE OF REV. 17:12.

7:9  I beheld till the thrones were cast down (THE SEATS FOR JUDGMENT. THOSE THRONES WERE DESTROYED. THE REFERENCE IS TO THIS, REV. 4:2), and the Ancient of days did sit, Whose garment was white as snow (PURE), and the hair of His head like the pure wool: His throne was like the fiery flame, and His wheels as burning fire (THIS IS GOD'S VEHICLE (EZ. 1). HIS THRONE WAS INSIDE THAT VEHICLE).

7:10  A fiery stream issued  and came forth from before Him: thousands ministered unto Him (WAITING UPON HIM), and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him (STANDING, INDICATING READINESS FOR SERVICE): the judgment was set (THE JUDGE WHO ACTUALLY SAT ON THAT SEAT).

DON'T MISS PART TWO.

GOD BLESS

THE BOOK OF DANIEL (CHAPTER SIX---PART TWO)

                                                               THE DEN OF LIONS

DANIEL WAS THE HEAD OF THE GOVERNMENT DURING DARIUS REIGN AND THE OTHER GOVERMENTAL OFFICIALS WERE NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT.  THEY TRICKED THE KING TO SIGN A DECREE THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED ANYONE  TO BE PUT TO DEATH IF HE WAS CAUGHT WORSHIPPING ANY GOD.

THE KING CARED ABOUT DANIEL BUT HE SIGNED THE DECREE WITHOUT REALIZING WHAT HE DID. THE DECREE COULD NOT BE CHANGED AFTER THE KING SIGNED IT.

THESE EVIL GOVERMENTAL OFFICIALS MADE SURE THAT THEY LET THE KING KNOW THAT DANIEL WAS WORSHIPPING HIS GOD THREE TIMES A DAY.

THE KING LOST HIS SLEEP OVER THIS MATTER BECAUSE HE DID NOT WANT DANIEL TO BE PUT TO DEATH.

LET'S CONTINUE WITH THE CONCLUSION OF THE CHAPTER.

Daniel 6:16  Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, "Thy God Whom thou servest continually, He will deliver thee."

GOD TAKES CARE OF HIS OWN. HE IS NOT ONLY GOING TO DELIVER HIM BUT HE WILL PUNISH HIS ADVERSARIES.

6:17  And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.

THE KING WOULDN'T LOOK GOOD AMONG HIS PEOPLE IF HE DIDN'T GO AHEAD WITH THE DECREE.

6:18  Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of music brought before him, and his sleep went from him.

SHOWING THE LONGSTANDING AFFECTION WHICH DARIUS HAD FOR DANIEL.

THERE WERE NO PARTIES FOR HIM.

6:19  Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.

6:20  And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, "O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God Whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions ?"

6:21  Then said Daniel unto the king, "O king, live forever.

6:22  My God hath sent His angel, and hath shut the lions mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before Him innocensy (PURITY) was found in me: and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.

DANIEL KNEW THAT GOD WAS GOING TO RESCUE HIM.

6:23  Then was the king exceeding glad for him (ANOTHER PROOF OF THE LONGSTANDING FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN DARIUS AND DANIEL), and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.

DANIEL HAD THE SEAL OF GOD IN HIS FOREHEAD.

6:24  And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.

GOD AVENGES HIS OWN.

6:25  Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; "Peace be multiplied unto you."

A TYPE OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER.

6:26  I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear (RESPECT) before the God of Daniel: for He is the living God, and stedfast forever, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and His dominion shall be even unto the end.

6:27  He delivereth and rescueth, and He worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, Who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions."

BEFORE YOU RESCUE SOMEONE THEY MUST BE IN DANGER. GOD RESCUED HIM FROM THAT DANGER.

6:28  So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

CYRUS WAS THE SON OF DARIUS THE MEDE. HE IS THE YOUNG DARIUS, HIS FATHER BEING THE OLD.

GOD NAMED CYRUS BEFORE HE WAS EVEN BORN. 

GOD BLESS

THE BOOK OF DANIEL (CHAPTER SIX---PART ONE)

 

                                                              THE PLOT TO SLAY DANIEL

Daniel 6:1 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;

HE SET UP GOVERNORS TO BE OVER THE KINGDOM. 

DARIUS THE MEDIAN OF 5:31 IS THE ARTAXERXES (THE GREAT KING) OF NEH. 2:1 AND EZRA 6:14, AHASUERUS OF ESTHER 1:1. THESE NAMES ARE ALL USED OF ONE AND THE SAME PERSON.

6:2  And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts (ACCOUNTANTS) unto them, and the king should have no damage.

6:3  Then this Daniel was preferred (FAVOURED) above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him (REFERRING TO THE AFFECTIONATE REGARD IN WHICH DARIUS HELD DANIEL AFTER MANY YEARS OF FAITHFUL SERVICE); and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

SHOWING THAT DANIEL WAS WELL KNOWN TO DARIUS THE MEDIAN, AND APPRECIATED.

6:4  Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error of fault found in him.

DANIEL WAS OVER THE GOVERNMENT AND THE TAXING, AND THE ACCOUNTING. HE WAS THEIR CHIEF EXECUTIVE, AND HE DID NOT  OVERDUE IT WITH TAXES BY BEING GREEDY.

THEY DID NOT LIKE HIM.

6:5  Then said these men, "We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God."

THEY KNEW DANIEL WOULD OBEY THE LAW.

6:6  Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, "King Darius, live forever.

6:7  All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

THEIR MOTIVE WAS TO GET RID OF DANIEL.

6:8  Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing (PUT IT IN WRITING), that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not."

THEY KNEW THAT IF THE KING SEALED THAT DECREE IT WOULD HAVE BECOME LAW, AND EVEN THE KING COULD NOT HAVE CHANGED IT IF HE WANTED TO.

6:9  Wherefore king Darius signed the writing of the decree.

IT BECAME A LAW.

6:10  Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem (BECAUSE THEY WERE CAPTIVE. THEY HAD TO DO IT 3 TIMES A DAY, I KINGS 8:48), he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.

6:11  Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.

6:12  Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's decree; "Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?" The king answered and said, "The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not (WHEN IT BECOMES A LAW IT CANNOT BE CHANGED)."

6:13  Then answered they and said before the king, "That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day (HE IS DISOBEYING YOU 3 TIMES A DAY)."

6:14  Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he labored till the going down of the sun to deliver him.

THE KING CARED ABOUT DANIEL A LOT AND HE WAS TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO SAVE DANIEL. HE KNOWS HE WAS TRICKED TO SIGN THAT DECREE.

6:15  Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, "Know, O king, that the law of Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establiseth may be changed."

IN OTHER WORDS, YOU HAVEN'T GOT A CHANCE O KING.

LESSON: DO NOT ALLOW GREEDY PEOPLE TO PLACE ANY CONDITION OR RULE UPON YOU. BE FAITHFUL TO GOD.

DON'T MISS PART TWO.

GOD BLESS

THE BOOK OF DANIEL (CHAPTER FIVE---PART ONE)

 

                                 BELSHAZZAR'S VISION OF THE HAND. HIS DOOM.

BELSHAZZAR( PRINCE OF BAAL) WAS NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S GRANDSON. HE WAS A DRUNK AND AN IDOL WORSHIPPER.

THE BOOK OF DANIEL IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS: THE FIRST PART IS HISTORIC, WHILE THE LATTER IS PROPHETIC.

DANIEL'S ENTIRE PROPHECY WAS GIVEN IN THE TIME OF JUDAH'S CAPTIVITY BY THE KING OF BABYLON.  HE WAS ONLY A TYPE AND TEACHES US WHAT WILL HAPPEN UNDER THE RULE OF SATAN AS THE FUTURE KING OF BABYLON.

Daniel 5:1  Belshazzar (PRINCE OF BAAL) the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.

5:2  Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father (GRANDFATHER) Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.

HE WAS ORGANIZING A DRUNKEN ORGY.

THOSE VESSELS WERE SACRED, AND SYMBOLIC OF WHAT WOULD BECOME THE HOLY COMMUNION. IT WAS A BLASPHEMY WHAT HE DID.

5:3  Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.

AND AGAIN, THIS WAS A BLASPHEMY AGAINST GOD.

5:4  They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

GOLD, SILVER, BRASS, IRON, WOOD, STONE= SIX.

NUMBER #6 DENOTES THE HUMAN NUMBER IN BIBLICAL NUMERICS.

THE GREAT MEN WHO HAVE STOOD OUT IN DEFIANCE OF GOD (GOLIATH, THE KING OF BABYLON, AND THE FUTURE KING OF BABYLON=SATAN) ARE ALL EMPHATICALLY MARKED BY THIS NUMBER.

5:5  In the same hour (INSTANTLY) came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.

5:6  Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.

HE WAS VERY SCARED.

5:7  The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans (WISE MEN), and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, "Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet (PURPLE=THE COLOR OF ROYALTY), and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom (HE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE THIRD KINGDOM)."

5:8  Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.

5:9  Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.

HE DID NOT HAVE A GOOD DAY.

5:10 Now the queen (QUEEN MOTHER = NITOCRIS, NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S DAUGHTER IN LAW) by reason of the words of the king and his lords cane into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, "O king, live forever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed:

5:11  There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father (GRANDFATHER) light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;

5:12  Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation."

5:13  Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, "Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah (SHOWING THAT THE KING HAD NO PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OF DANIEL, OR HAD DISREGARDED HIM), whom the king my father (GRANDFATHER) brought out of Jewry (THERE IS NOT SUCH A WORD IN THE TEXTS. IT'S JUDAH).

5:14  I have ever heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee.

DON'T MISS THE INTERPRETATION OF THE DREAM IN PART TWO.

GOD BLESS
