In reference to Daniel 7 it is the same dream as Nebuchadnezzar had.Daniel had the religious side Nebuchadnezzar was political.First the lion is Babylon the head of gold with a lion body was their symbol.The bear was the medo and Persia empire and the leopard is Greece the four wings represent the four kingdom 's that came after the death of Alexander the great.The fourth beast was Rome the legs of iron of Nebuchadnezzar dream and Daniel beast that is diverse Rome took on all the character of each nation before it.the ten horns are kings or kingdoms that Rome divided into.the little horn is papel Rome which plucked up the three little horns they were the Heruli,Vandals,Ostrogoths Daniel chapter7 n 8
I had a dream. It was bizarre. I woke up singing " and the little horn was one , and the little horn was one " over and over again. I was so moved by my dream that I looked it up on the internet. I found that the words were in the Bible. I was so overcome by what I read that I started researching "The Little Horn " in the book of Daniel. The fact that it appeared in a dream to Daniel was extremely disturbing.
The verse is referring to the change of God 's law, especially the Law that deals with time and that is the 4th commandment. Sadly the majority doesn 't want to see this
That is because it will be Islam. They are the ones who will change everything to fit their Sharia laws. The Vatican may be the leader but it will be under control of Islam.
Jay 's comment sounds intriguing. Unfortunately, taken in context, the bear is one of four kingdoms. It occurs between the Lion which was Babylon and the Leopard, which was Greece. That kingdom was Media Persia as Wesley 's Notes states and is further backed up by other Daniel visions. One should not try to force current events to fit Bible Prophesy.
A beast, in the Bible, represents a country. In this case we see a bear. Russia is commonly known as the bear in our world today. Note it raises on its side. The Ukraine, is to the side of Russia. It is also, according to Wikipedia, broken down into 3 main administrative divisions. The three ribs represent the Ukraine as a side country with three divisions that are being slowly devoured by the bear Russia .
Fourth beast is roman empire and ten horns are kings of Europe which rose after roman empire in 476 ad. Now the little horn which subdue three horns is power of papacy who killed the saints of most high changing the law of God times .All churches worship this seat as their holy father on earth.
Herman 's is the most accurate but none are right. No one seems to have the right idea and what is really happening. No one has the fourth beast right and quite a few have them all wrong. Here is a hint, the fourth beast is more powerful than all the rest, that is the kingdom that the anti christ will be in control of. Just because it is not recognized as a powerful kingdom yet it will at the proper time. This kingdom is quite powerful already and everything is set. It will not have to get extremely powerful because the others are going to lose their power. Also the third beast is China not Germany.
You were perceptive enough to see that the 4th Beast was killed BEFORE the 2nd or 3rd Beast... but you need to FIRST understand "what " or "who " the Beasts Kingdoms represent before ASSUMING the "season and time " equates to the "1000 yrs "... because it does not. When you understand what Daniel 's Beasts represent, then all related passages begin to harmonize.
Times feast days shabbat Law Torah aka Ten commandments This is a prophetic vision predicting how constatine and the councile of nicea would replace jewish holy days with paganized christian holidays and overide the ten commandments
Ten horns may be the rise of a new Roman Empire or Ten Kings. The little horn is the Antichrist.
The first Beast is Britain and the Wings of that Beast which break away is the birth of the United States, the second Beast is Russia the Bear, The third Beast is Germany. These are the current Nations today. The coming of the Lord is soon and the Antichrist will soon arise and decieive many. Much will happen in a short time now. Be ready. Watch for the two witnesses who will reveal both present, past and future with great power and testimony and then slain, but will rise again to be with the Father after their witness of Christ which is why the Antichrist will kill them and leave their bodies in the streets. Because of Satellite everyone will be able to see this happen in real time. Also beware of the mark of the beast where you will not be able to buy or sale without the mark. This will also be your sign of service.
Daniel seven reveals four beasts, the first is Babylon, Medes and Persians, Grecian Empire and the dragon kingdom, amazingling it does not speak of the Roman Empire although it was the next in the chronological order but it skips to the dragon kingdom and is also identical to Daniel 2 in Nebuchadnezzar's dream, I know all commentaries refer to the Roman Empire as the fourth beast due to the chronological order of empires that rules the world but the dream and Daniel's vision do not refer to this Roman Empire instead it goes direct into the Dragon Kingdom and this is why all commentaries have mis-interpreted the meaning of the dragon kingdom as it is futuristic, therefore we cannot know from history about the little horn since he arises from one of the four horns of the four kingdoms that had split Alexander's kingdom of the leopard. One thing we are sure of is that all those nations mentioned in prophecy concerning the end times and those battles are all Muslim today from Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Egypt and North Africa as this appears to be a battle between Islamic nations and the Lord Jesus Christ in the valley of decision or Armageddon in the final end.
In bible prophecy as well as now nations are represented by animals.In chapter 2 history is laid out very clearly.The terrible beast is the fourth kingdom.The 10 horns are 10 kingdoms that arose out of that 4th empire.
The term God is a title not a name. As such can and does apply to the Father( 2 Peter 1:17),The Son ( John 5:16-18,23;Philip 2:6 "who being [Grk. remaining] in the form of God"; Heb. 1:8,10; Ps.102:25; Jn.20:28; 1Jn. 5:20; Exod. 3:14; Jn. 8:24. 58; Is. 44:6; Rev. 1:17-18; 2:8; Is. 6:1-10; Jn. 12:39-41), and of the Holy Spirit ( Acts 5:3-4; 2 Cor. 3:17) Also the word "serve" in Dan. 7:14 is only used 10 times in the bible, each referring to religious service or worship of Jesus.
Gladys, u could be right. From wikipedia on Obama symbol you find - "The logo was designed by Chicago-based Sender LLC (a brand development and design company) on assignment from Chicago-based mo/de (a motion design studio). The latter had been brought on board early on by David Axelrod, Obama�s chief campaign strategist, although it had never done a political identity before. Creative director Sol Sender, now a partner at VSA Partners and founding director of the IBM Design Lab, led the design team of three which included Amanda Gentry and Andy Keene. Project managers at mo/de were Colin Carter and Steve Juras.[1]
"We were looking at the �o� of his name and had the idea of a rising sun and a new day,� according to Sender. �The sun rising over the horizon evoked a new sense of hope."[2] "The design expression was so constrained and so bland for so many years in politics," Sender says. "I think we had a fresh approach because we�d never worked on a campaign before� � and, of course, the power of the logo had a lot to do with �the power of the candidate�s message.""
I believe that God the Father is portrayed as the ancient of days;the wise and sage judge.The Son of man is humanity's representative in the heavenly courts
The beasts are powers both political and religious superpowers of the world.they turn out to be the remnant's main enemy

Yes, we all agree that the Son of Man is Jesus Christ. For the Ancient of Days, i am not fully convinced that it is God Himself, mainly because,, 'no human being have never seen God, the Father' but they only hear His Voice, or see his presence like the flame of fire that led the Israelites during the night in their journey to Canaan, etc. What we can say we know is the image of God as indicated by Genesis 1 vs 26 that God created man out of their image.. In my opinion I can link this Ancient of Days to the Comforter mentioned in John 14 vs 16. The Ancient of Days is someone with great authority. So I am sure that the Comforter is the Holy Spirit but would come in person.
The Jehovah Wittness use the prophecy teaching of the 144000, but they did not originate it. The 144000 is God's prophecy, it is scriptural but unfortunately since people perceive it as a Jehovah Witness doctrine, no one really preaches on it and its interpretation.
Sounds like an individual or waxing evil Empire that does the following: denies the (triune) God, persecutes God's Kingdom on Earth (the church), changes calendars to honor something other than the birth of out Lord Jesus Christ, and replaces the respective laws of nations that submit to his rule with a "new" law. The reign of this evil individual or kingdom will be terrible but finite.
In the context of current events, I would say that Islam and the Mahdi fit this the best. Anno Domini is changed to the Common Era, Democracies with religious freedom yield to Sharia Law, and one modern nation after another submit to the Caliphate. These are examples of this prophecy enfolding in our own time, before our very eyes. God Bless.
The four beasts are the four empires, Babylonian 606-538 BC, the Medo-persian 539-332 BC, the Greek, 332 BC-65 AD, the four horns were the division of the empire after the death of Alexander the Great, the last beast is the Islamic empire, Umayyad, 661-750 AD, this was the empire which destroyed Jerusalem and slaughtered Jews and Christians, they also murdered them to prevent them from making a pilgrimage into the Holy Land, which finally brought about the Crusades in 1099. This is the diverse beast which wars against the whole world, and treads on, tramples and breaks it into pieces...Daniel does not speak to the New World, only the known world at the time, the Holy Land. Not to say the US will not play a part, we will,in Revelations it says the rule of the Anti-Christ will not come about until the sun rises in the West, not to be political, but if you look at the Obama symbol, it looks like the sun rising over the symbol of the West (the American flag), some in theological circles believe he is the Mahdi spoken of in the Quran...I kind of think the sun rising in the West could mean power being that of a Western country, could be the US or not, it could mean just what it says, the sun will rise in the West literally because of a polar flip or something of that nature...I definitely believe Obama being elected is part of the Biblical prophesy if only we had the knowledge to understand how.
As a Christian believer, this will be happening after the rapture. Religion cannot save us but by the Grace of Jesus Christ alone who appeared in the vision of Daniel, the Son of man cometh from the sky. The 144,000 are the people that came from the twelve tribes of Israel.
I believe that Daniel is a prophet of the most high God and that God gave him a vision that no man can interpret the revelation without the Holy Ghost. Any answer other than that is just what the human mind thinks.
