Daniel 7 is at least eight beasts not four.

It contains three visions. Two of them had four beasts seen
during them.

Chapters 2,7,8 have similarities and synergies. The 10 horns coming out of the beast are the European nations. what form thats going to take at the end times is debated.

I agree with most of this. This sets it out very well, visually.

He will finish the years left for Babylon to rule
the nations. This will bring Jeremiah 25:11-12 to
pass. He must rise to the east of Israel.
Babylon is the Nations that come against Israel at Meggido. Go read Revelation 16:19. It is not a place or City.

Before the beginning of sorrows starts with
another world war....nation against nation.....
kingdom against kingdom will happen other
world wars, then rumours of wars.

Go reread Matthew with this in mind. The Lord has just given me all of Matthew 24's meaning. The Nation will rise against nation rumors of war etc. was Jesus telling his disciples about the destruction of the Temple. They asked him 3 questions. When will these things com to pass ? TEMPLE JESUS SPOKE OF.....What will be the sign of your coming and when will the End be. If you notice, Jesus never speaks to them about the Temple again....OR DOES HE ? I understood verse 6 to be Jesus telling them about the Temple, I had always overlooked it....Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Jesus knowing all things, knew that the Holy Spirit would lead them away from Jerusalem at this time, else the Church might have been wiped out. So they will hear of these wars and rumors of wars, (Temple being destroyed/Rome conquering the uprising in Jerusalem) but Jesus says, THE END IS NOT YET. So Jesus does tell them about the Temple.

Then he mentions Kingdom vs. Kingdom etc. etc. Reminding them this is NOT THE END, there are many more wars coming. I think Jesus was trying to emphasize, the Temple Destruction was not THE END TIMES.

Then of course he told them about the Rapture Matthew 24:32-44

The Times of Trouble Matthew 24:16-26

The Second Coming Matthew 24:27-31

The he in Daniel 9:27 does not link to the time of
Titus, but to the part as to finish the transgression....
till the consummation. A Babylonian king prophecy is what is
causing Daniel to fast and supplicate at the first part of the
chapter. Daniel had read books by Jeremiah and realized the
time of the Babylonian king ruling had ended before their time
was up. They would remain in captivity for about 4 more years,
then they can return to the land. Yet, there is also a prophecy as
to 70 years must be over when the Babylonian king
and his land....Chaldea falls. Iraq is the land that will
rise to bring in the last part of Jeremiah 25:11.

The HE in Dan. 9:27 is the Anti-Christ.............

The beast out of the sea is not the little horn.
The beast is first wondered after by the world, then
later he gains another mouth. This new mouth is the little
horn that will come from the east.

Gog happens after Armageddon ends and Israel
has returned to her land, then starts the 1000 years.
See the last part of Zechariah 14.

The Beast in Rev. 13 represents ALL THE BEASTS of All Time, of which the Anti-Christ is one of the Seven Heads. They would be Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome and the Anti-Christ. You have to have Conquered Israel whilst she was in the Land of Israel, to be a BEAST !! Daniel 7 proves this.

Daniel 7 is at least eight beasts not four.

It contains three visions. Two of them had four beasts seen
during them.

Daniel 7 is actually 5 BEASTS in total. Gabriel only interprets the Dream for Daniel. There is the Loin (Babylon) the Bear which stands for (Persia) the Leopard which is of course (Greece) the Fierce Beast (Rome) and the Little Horn, which arises out of the footprint of Rome.........In the LATTER TIME !!

What do you think caused this chapter in Daniel? What did Daniel tell us at the first part of it? What time in history was it and what was he reading? The Babylonian Empire had fallen to Darius the Mede and Daniel had been reading books that were written by Jeremiah.
Daniel 9:1
"In the first year of Darius...of the Medes..."
So, the year is about 539 BC and the captivity of the Jews started around 605 BC.
Jeremiah 29:10 tells how they will return to the land after they have been in Babylon for seventy years. Darius will rule and even send Daniel to the den of lions before Cyrus will give the decree around 535 BC.
I know fully about the Decree and its meaning. I also know when Gabriel came he explained to Daniel that he was confused. The 70 years he assumed were Seventy Sevens.

Daniel reckoning the 70 years from the year 605 (when the Jews went into exile) would bring the end of the 70 years to 536 B.C.E. Daniel realized that the captivity had only about three years to go.

But Daniel not only expected the captivity to end after 70 years, he also expected a final termination of any possibility of future desolation's for Jerusalem. He had acted as if the messianic kingdom were about to occur: since the Word of God was to be established on the basis of prayer, he prayed; and realizing that the prerequisite was the confession of national sin, he confessed the sins of Israel.

Then, while Daniel was presenting his supplications,(Daniel 9:20-23) he was interrupted. He apparently had intended to say more, when Gabriel arrived. The interruption came by the touch of the angel’s hand, "about the time of the evening oblation." This refers to the daily, regular evening sacrifice that was offered while the temple stood. Although it had not been practiced for seven decades, Daniel showed his longing for the return from captivity and for the rebuilding of the temple by remembering the sacrifice.

Gabriel told Daniel that the purpose of his visit was 1. to correct Daniel’s misunderstanding concerning when the messianic kingdom would be set up and 2. to present God’s revelation, which contained a timetable for Messiah’s coming.

THE DECREE OF THE SEVENTY SEVENS: Daniel 9:24

Gabriel’s prophecy to Daniel began with the words, “Seventy sevens are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city…”

Many English versions have translated the phrase to read “seventy weeks.” But this translation is not totally accurate and has caused some confusion about the meaning of the passage. Most Jews know the Hebrew for “weeks” because of the observance of the Feast of Weeks, and that Hebrew word is shavuot. However, the word that appears in the Hebrew text is shavuim, which means “sevens.” The word refers to a “seven” of anything, and the context determines the content of the seven.

Here it is obvious Daniel had been thinking in terms of years—specifically the 70 years of captivity. Daniel had assumed that the captivity would end after 70 years and that the kingdom would be established after 70 years. But here Gabriel was using a play upon words in the Hebrew text, pointing out that insofar as Messiah’s kingdom was concerned, it was not “70 years,” but “70 sevens of years,” a total of 490 years (70 times seven).

This period of 490 years had been “decreed” over the Jewish people and over the holy city of Jerusalem. The Hebrew word translated “decreed” literally means “to cut off” or “to determine.” In chapters 2, 7 and 8, God revealed to Daniel the course of future world history in which gentiles would have a dominant role over the Jewish people. This lengthy period, which began with the Babylonian Empire to continue until the establishment of Messiah’s kingdom, is for that reason often referred to as the “Times of the Gentiles.” Now the prophet was told that a total of 490 years was to be “cut out” of the Times of the Gentiles, and a 490-year period had been “determined” or “decreed” for the accomplishment of the final restoration of Israel and the establishment of Messiah’s kingdom.

The focus of the program of the 70 sevens was “thy people and…thy holy city.” The “people” were Daniel’s people, the Jewish people, and the city was Daniel’s city, Jerusalem. Though he had spent the vast majority of his life in the city of Babylon, Jerusalem was still Daniel’s city. For Jews, whether they are in the land or outside the land, their city is always Jerusalem and not any other.

I can give you the purpose of the seventy sevens if needed.

The Little Horn is the Beast.

Daniel 7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. 9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, (JESUS) whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

Daniel 7:11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.


Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

You still think the LITTLE HORN is not the Beast of Revelation or Anti-Christ?

Revelation 15:6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
/the trumpet plagues

Revelation 15:7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
the vials/first round


Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Revelation 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Revelation 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters:


Revelation 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
It seems that based on Revelation 15:6-7 that there are seven plague angels . . . seven angels who had the seven plagues were given seven vials or bowls. A trumpet starts a plague and a vial / bowl finishes it? For each angel?
