The Time of the End

THE TIME OF THE END
 

Daniel 12:1-13
 
There are those who do not believe that there is a God, or that He can show us a glimpse of the future. All of the last chapter was history, written before it ever happened, and we know that everything happened just as God told Daniel that it would.
If, indeed, [...]

The Word of God Fulfilled

THE ANGEL’S CONTINUED EXPLANATION
 

Daniel 11:1 - 12:1
 
The first verse is clearly the angel, whom we believe to be Gabriel, still speaking to Daniel to give Him understanding of all the things he has seen.

Daniel 10:1-21
 
There are wars in our world today. That is no profound statement I realize that, but it is none the less true. We grieve over the war in Iraq, and the young soldiers who are dying, civilians dying, women and children included in that. No war is pleasant. It is not really pleasant [...]

Men’s Kingdoms As Revealed By God (2)

 Daniel 8:9-27
In the first installment we looked at Daniel, Cyrus and Alexander - the first of three of the personages of Daniel 8.  In this final installment we look at Antiochus Epiphanes, and the Antichrist who will come during the final week of Jeremiah’s prophecy.
ANTIOCHUS EPIPHANES (vv. 9-14). One ‘great leader’ comes from out of [...]

MEN’S KINGDOMS OF BIBLE PROPHECY
 

Daniel 8:1-8, 15-22, 26-27
 
The ram with two horns is the Medo-Persian empire (vv. 3-4, 20).
The he-goat with the great horn is Alexander the Great (vv. 5-8, 21).
The broken horn with the four new horns is the death of Alexander and his four generals taking power of four kingdoms after his death [...]
