Those who populate the earth after the tribulation will give their allegiance to Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords. Things are not as they appear to be! We are not to base our thinking and actions on circumstances, but upon the Scriptures. Some of his alarm arose from his not yet having been given the interpretation of his vision. Passing over the first three beasts, his questions focus on the last beast. What God says, He will do. Even those portions which we believe have been fulfilled, students of prophecy differ about the way of their fulfillment. He distinguishes himself by his ability to overcome the whole earth, crushing it under foot. And yet God said they would. The Old Testament prophet did not see the gap because he viewed the coming of Christ as God does. As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings. This part of Daniels dream is new information that was not conveyed in Nebuchadnezzars dream in chapter two. If, in Gods eyes, a day is as 1,000 years and 1,000 years as a day (2 Peter 3:8), then the coming of our Lord has only been a few days from beginning to end. It may seem to them that their defeat is certain and that their hopes of entering into the eternal kingdom are lost. Suffering and glory are a part of one work. - As for these four children, God gave them knewledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.Or, as the words might be more accurately rendered, "these lads, the four of them" (Ezekiel 1:8-10).This indicates that somehow they were separated off into a quaternion. What God determined to reveal to Daniel should be enough for us. The prophecy of this chapter is divinely interpreted. If you remember from two weeks ago the bear was raised up on one side, this was to indicate that one part of this united kingdom overshadowed the other portion. (Numbers 23:19). Nothing has caused him to panic or depart from his faith and practice as a godly Jew. In my opinion, the most dramatic reference of our Lord to His identity as the Son of Man comes as the Lord Jesus stands on trial before the Sanhedrin and the high priest: 59 Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus, in order that they might put Him to death; 60 and they did not find it, even though many false witnesses came forward. a. And the high priest said to Him, I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God. 64 Jesus said to him, You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you shall see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, AND COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN (Matthew 26:59-64). He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time. A lawsuit could force the F.D.A. He had interpreted dreams for this king and yet this dream caused Daniel to be alarmed and to feel physically sick. The fourth beast is a fourth king, different than the others. The third portion of the statue in Daniel 2 was the belly and thighs of bronze which represented the Greek empire. (1) Daniel 7 is the last chapter written in Aramaic in the Book of Daniel. The only human things mentioned of the fourth beast are his eyes and his mouth. Daniel was an intelligent young Jew living in Jerusalem during the late 600s B.C. Our deliverance from the power of sin and the penalty of death has been accomplished by our Lord, who suffered in our place. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but an extension of life was granted to them for an appointed period of time. Prophecy becomes necessary from time to time to remind men of those things God has planned for the future which He will surely fulfill. Neither is prophecy written to make us happy or to feel good. The process of having a baby involves the pains of childbirth. 12 and he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. His disciples were promised that they would share in His reign as King (19:20). This fourth beast has the distinction of ten horns. This also underscores that these four kingdoms go from reasonably good to unbelievably bad. Nebuchadnezzar was the first ruler of Babylon to have contact with Daniel. This little horn is more intelligent and more arrogant than the other horns. (7) Who is the Ancient of Days? This angel, beginning in the second half of verse 23 is describing the revived Roman empire which is yet future. The first time in Daniel 7:13, he is referring to Messiah, who will sit on the eternal throne of His father, David. 16 At this, Daniel went in to the king and asked for time, so that he might interpret the dream for him. So, I began the review by looking at the first 14 verses where Daniel gives us a summary of the visions he had as he dreamed in his sleep. As Daniel watches, the wings are torn off the beast, and the creature stands erect like a man and a human mind is given to it. 81 See Ezekiel 29:21 for a similar use of the imagery of making a horn grow to describe a kings promotion to power. Humanly speaking, it was impossible for them to have a child. Those who rejected the Lord Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of Man, would mourn when they saw Him returning in the clouds: And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory (Matthew 24:30). At-A-Glance 1. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints (Revelation 13:1-10). The second time, the expression is used in reference to Daniel himself, as it will be used very frequently in Ezekiel to refer to this great prophet: So he came near to where I was standing, and when he came I was frightened and fell on my face; but he said to me, Son of man, understand that the vision pertains to the time of the end (Daniel 8:17). 27 Then the sovereignty, the dominion, and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him. 28 At this point the revelation ended. Lets pray and ask God to teach us and guide us as we look at His prophetic word. The interpretation of the events Daniel witnessed in his vision is given in its most concise form in verses 17 and 18: The four beasts were four kings, who will arise from the earth. That was bad enough, from the religious leaders perspective, but the way in which He answered them was the last straw. I have heard a number of attempts to explain the gaps in Old Testament prophecy. Children need to know that as believers, we are on the winning team and God wins in the end. Having related the dream, Daniel then interprets it: it concerns four successive kingdoms, beginning with Nebuchadnezzar, which will be replaced by the everlasting kingdom of the God of heaven. (9) The interpretation of Daniels vision comes in two parts, beginning with a general interpretation and then a more specific one based on Daniels questions. The statue has four parts; there are four beasts. Thus he said: The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it. In His response to the demand of the high priest, Jesus directly claimed to be the promised Messiah. Chapter 2. Just a few years later Alexander died, and his empire was divided into four parts and his four generals became the monarch of a quarter of the Greek empire. If taken seriously, we will find the future sobering as well. As Daniel continues to watch, another horn emerges, as three of the other horns are plucked out by the roots to make room for it. The other seven will then likely submit out of fear or a sense of the unavoidable consequences of resisting represented by this little horn growing larger than the seven. In verse 1 Daniel indicates his vision came to him in the first year of the reign of Belshazzar. With the commencement of Belshazzars co-regency may have come not only a rejection of the Jewish faith and worship, but a new wave of persecution directed toward it. These were represented by the image of a statue. The beasts are a horrifying and frightening sight; the heavenly court scene is one of regal splendor and beauty. (19-26) Daniel explains the rise and coming fall of Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel boiled down his vision to its essence, so we would not fail to understand the message he meant to convey to us. Introduction to Daniel 11 And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast; 4 and they worshiped the dragon, because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him? 5 And there was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies; and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him. Many others may have reluctantly professed or actually adopted the Jewish religion. All distinctions of race and colour and nationality are stripped away and one apparently human figure represents the whole human race. Joyce C. Baldwin, Daniel: An Introduction and Commentary (Downers Grove: Inter-Varsity Press, 1978), p. 150. Now, in verse 23, the angelic interpreter explains the relationship of the boastful beast and the coming of the eternal kingdom of God. These horns are also kings, from whom kingdoms arise (verse 24). Daniels vision ends here, but its impact on him does not end. When that happens, Daniel goes for option #2 of those listed above: he asks one of the people in his dream to interpret what is happening for him ( Da 7:15-16 ). We do not walk by sight, but by faith. Their perception is wrong, for suddenly and without warning their day of destruction will come upon them. Prophecy is always practical and relevant to the person(s) receiving it. Daniel said the king's dream was about a giant statue that was destroyed by a stone cut out of a mountain. The blasphemous horn of Daniel 7, which goes so far as to oppose the people of God, is suddenly taken by death, and his kingdom is removed. The prophecies of Daniel 7 speak of a future day of reckoning, foreshadowed by the actions of Belshazzar and the judgment of God on him and his kingdom. A look through the Scriptures shows that Daniels response to the prophecies he received was not unique. We dare not ignore that which is revealed nor do we dare go too far afield in speculating about what is concealed (see Deuteronomy 29:29; 1 Timothy 1:4; 2 Timothy 2:23). The saints should neither believe nor behave on the basis of how things appear to be (the wicked prospering and prevailing over the righteous). The Ancient of Days is a designation for God, not found elsewhere in the Bible. In Ezekiel, and even in Daniel (8:17), it is used in reference to a prophet. In the second scene, heaven calmly prepares for court, which will determine that the time for judgment has come. Prophecies are given so that we may look at history, especially events occurring in our own lifetime, from Gods perspective. La Habra, CA : The Lockman Foundation, 1995, [7]New American Standard Bible : 1995 Update. It seems that three of the kings try to resist him and he overthrows them by force. Abraham and Sarah were elderly and childless. Daniel was exiled to Babylon when he was still a teenager. 9:1; 12:1, AV, RV), and the book of Daniel insists here and in subsequent chapters (8:27; 10:1, 10, 11, 15, 18) on the anxiety and psychological turmoil involved in receiving, even at Gods hand, understanding of the future course of history. Joyce C. Baldwin, Daniel: An Introduction and Commentary (Downers Grove: Inter-Varsity Press, 1978), p. 143. Chapter 7 - In the first vision Daniel sees the same kingdoms, but this time he sees them as beasts. What so upset Daniel about the future? Then the time had arrived for the saints to take possession of the kingdom. Two major divisions comprise our text: (1) Daniels dreamverses 1-14 and (2) the interpretationverses 15-28. The first of Daniel's four beasts is "like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle" ( Daniel 7:4 ). The saints of the Highest One are given all the kingdoms of the earth for an everlasting kingdom. The vision comes to Daniel in Belshazzars first year.78 A subsequent and related vision comes to him in this kings third year (see 8:1). The First Vision is a dream of the king that is interpreted by Daniel. 10 If any one is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; if any one kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Looking about with its numerous eyes, no one can escape his look or hide from him.80 With its mouth, the beast continues to speak boastfully. Upon hearing the details of the dream, Daniel too was troubled (4:19). From Daniel 2:4b to the end of chapter 7, the original text was written in Aramaic (the language of Babylon in that day). His vision in chapter 4 should have produced more distress than it did. They are far from pleasant but an unavoidable part of the process. Twice in chapter 7 Daniel speaks of his distress: As for me, Daniel, my spirit was distressed within me, and the visions in my mind kept alarming me (verse 15). 15 And there was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast might even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed (Revelation 13:4, 11-15). Ed, Issue 46, Winter 2023. Before long, Daniel was explaining the dreams of King Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel 2:24-49 New International Version Daniel Interprets the Dream 24 Then Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to execute the wise men of Babylon, and said to him, "Do not execute the wise men of Babylon. Because Daniel possessed wisdom bestowed by God and was conscientious in his work, he not only prospered during the reigns of successive rulers, but King Darius planned to put him in charge of the entire kingdom. a. The angel says the Antichrist will seek to make alterations in times and in law. Public sentiment was turning against this foreign religion, and the Babylonians, including Belshazzar, wanted a return to their old time religion the pagan worship of the gods of Babylon. We are in harmony with God when our declarations conform to his. He will abolish all the religious holidays and seek to abolish Gods law in an attempt to destroy the Jewish people. 3 And four great beasts were coming up from the sea, different from one another. (3) These prophecies must be understood in light of their historical background as provided in Daniel, in the inspired revelation provided by other portions of Scripture, and the cautious use of supplementary information by reliable historical documents or study. Alexandra, the daughter of a rich British aristocrat, caught his attention. Alexandra was also intrigued by the profession Spencer was in, which made her want to spend more time with him. The final outcome is Gods people under the Son of Man, Jesus Christ, will receive the kingdom. Chapter 2 - The original dream describing the future kingdoms of Babylon, Medo-Persian, Greek, Roman, kingdom of God. Before the coming of Christ, who would? 75 Everything in chapter 7 is on a world-wide scale, the empires of the beasts, the judgment, and the nations that worship and serve the one like mortal man. Daniel was terrified or alarmed by the scenes he had seen in his mind and desired to understand what they meant. So the king spoke, and said, "Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation trouble you." While conservative, evangelical scholars believe the prophecies in Daniel are true, their interpretations differ greatly. They will serve and obey Him forever. La Habra, CA : The Lockman Foundation, 1995, [3]Walvoord, John F.; Zuck, Roy B.; Dallas Theological Seminary: The Bible Knowledge Commentary : An Exposition of the Scriptures. It is significant for us to note Daniels reaction to this revelation from God. Daniel 2:26-49 It is virtually the opposite of the term beast. The expression, Son of man, is not new to Daniel. As the destruction of the last beast and the blaspheming horn came as a complete shock to them, so the Lords coming will catch unbelievers unprepared as well (24:27-39). As I read through the statements men have made about the God of Israel in the first six chapters of Daniel, I find that what men came to know and to acknowledge through history, God declares through prophecy. These beasts, each different from the other, are described in verses 4-7. 74 The personal cost of receiving divine revelation is never underestimated in the Old Testament (cf. But the saints of the Highest One will receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, for all ages to come. (Daniel 7:1718, NASB95)[2] The four beasts that Daniel saw in his dream were four kings and represented the four kingdoms of these kings. (5) What do the four beasts represent? The vision plays on before Daniel, almost as though in answer to his desire to know more. He couldn't sleep. In Revelation it is also referred to as 42 months and 1260 days which all work out to 3 years. The entire empire was conquered between 334 and 330 B.C., just four years. 8 While I was contemplating the horns, behold, another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were pulled out by the roots before it; and behold, this horn possessed eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth uttering great boasts. Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. He gave Daniel a general summary of the dream, These great beasts, which are four in number, are four kings who will arise from the earth. Daniel's righteousness is legendary status Don't mistake Daniel as some conjurer of cheap tricks. We must approach prophecy with fear and reverence. But the court will sit for judgment, and his dominion will be taken away, annihilated and destroyed forever. God will establish His kingdom, and that kingdom, unlike the kingdoms of men, is eternal. The first beast was lion-like, with wings like that of an eagle.79 Its wings were plucked from it; if this happened in mid-air, he must have plummeted to the ground. Daniel urged them to pray for mercy from the God of heaven, . (6) Prophecy is written to sober the saints. The prophecy of Daniel 11 includes amazing details about great empires, political developments and end-time powers that would affect the Jews and all people today. 5 And behold, another beast, a second one, resembling a bear. Daniel 2:1-13 - Nebuchadnezzar's Dream. He will keep continual pressure on the saints of the Highest One to try to break and destroy and annihilate them. Remembering this avoids confusion. Prophecy greatly benefits the Christian because it enables him to see things from the bigger and broader perspectivefrom Gods perspectiveso that when he suffers, he knows it is but a part of the process of getting to glory. (1) Prophecy is necessary because God has chosen to settle His accounts with men slowly. (3) This chapter contains the major segment of Daniel, which is primarily prophetic, although it does not contain the first prophecy in the Book of Daniel. Daniel 2:1). And it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and thus they said to it, Arise, devour much meat! 6 After this I kept looking, and behold, another one, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird; the beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it. His mouth is used to speak boastfully. Editing allows an author to set aside details which are not significant and focus on the essence of the message he is trying to communicate. 2 So the king summoned the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers and astrologers [1]to tell him what he had dreamed. Valentina's bond with Sophie, Sid's reaching out to Jesse, and Charlie trying hard to bring Sid and Jesse back together so that the group can go back to being their normal selves and not be an awkward bunch of people not wanting to discuss actual problems. God grants this king success and his saints suffering, but only for an appointed time. The use of the word time in Daniel is understood to be years. When the iniquity of the blasphemous horn reaches full bloom and his appointed time to rule is fulfilled, God will destroy him, casting his body into the fire. He intends to make changes in time and in law. 10 A river of fire was flowing And coming out from before Him; Thousands upon thousands were attending Him, And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him; The court sat, and the books were opened. We have already seen this phrase time, times, and half a time in Revelation. Prophecy is not revealed in a historical vacuum. Daniel's prophecy was one of hope. 2 Daniel said, I was looking in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea. It would be but a very few years until Cyrus would come to power and assist the Jews to return to Jerusalem and the land of Israel. The fourth portion of the statue in Daniel 2 is the iron legs and feet and toes of partly iron and partly baked clay which represented the Roman empire. While most prophecies in the Bible reveal events which will take place after the death of the recipient of the prophecy, the prophecy is revealed for impact upon those to whom it was revealed. Before the Israelites were delivered out of Egypt and brought into the land of Canaan, they suffered at the hands of the Egyptians. This beast is also unique among the four in that he grows 11 horns. Through the ages, the saints have learned that they must wait for the promises of God to be fulfilled and that this may not happen in their lifetime (see Hebrews 11:13-16, 39-40). The chapter falls into two major parts. The ten horns are of interest to him, but most of all that final horn which arose, surpassing and replacing three others and speaking boastfully. Daniel 5 is an illustration and a prototype of what will happen in the end times, as described in the prophecy of Daniel 7. The three and a half years referred to here in Daniel is the last half of the tribulation, also called the Great Tribulation and the Time of Jacobs Trouble.
