"I beheld, and lo! that horn made battle against holy men, and had mastery of them, till the Eld of days came, and high God gave doom to holy men; and lo! time came, and holy men got realm." (Wycliffe Bible) What things we bear up under for the just now is but the token of the doom (judgment) that God makes upon the world through us: and we are made in Christ for the standard and measuring of all.
"The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble." In Daniel 7:17 Wycliffe Bible is something for us to consider well for interpreting the vision and learning the words told us from the Lord. "These four great beasts be four realms, that shall rise of the earth. And he said, These four great beasts be four kingdoms, that shall rise upon the earth. " In the beginning, God spoke and the earth and all that was in it brought forth life after its kind. Thus it is of the world and the kingdoms of men that by the word of our God they are come into being "after their kind " and according to of what kind everything is, shall it be preserved or instead destroyed. We are of God, little children ALL thanks and praise forever to the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour! and as His children He will spare us if we serve Him with a pure heart in love, and with a good conscience toward God and men, and by faith without hypocrisy. By the sacrifice and offering of His only begotten Son Jesus the Anointed we have mercy and reconciliation, and complete deliverance from sin and death. He alone is worthy of all our love and perseverance through these fearful and dangerous times: and Jesus will be with us all the days, even to the end and will not fail to do ALL that He has said concerning us.
Verse 15 shows that even though Daniel was a prophet used by Jehovah God, he still found things troubling. He received a great amount of God given knowledge and because he could not fully understand these things he found them troubling.
"As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time." Daniel 7:12 This is one of several Scriptures which alludes to the Lord NOT coming to destroy men's lives, but to SAVE them; and of a time to come when the world will be able to enjoy life under the glorious reign of the Lord Jesus Christ with all His Saints.
The earth will be divided into 10 divisions. In Rev.17:12 these 10 rulers will destroy Babylon the great which is a very strong spiritual force who alighted down off of the beast and took control of all of man's endeavors in the areas of economics ,politics, religion, and social media. The 11th king will appear when this is done and take control.
Harry,"they" from V.43 are in V.44"And in the days of these Kings". Daniel 7:23"The 4th beast shall be the 4th kingdom upon earth,and shall devour the whole earth,shall tread it down"The earth is being destroyed by the 4th beast that God sends down from heaven.Rev.4:7 last part"4th beast was like a flying eagle"Rev.6:15men are hiding in mtns,not fighting.Rev.6:17"who shall be able to stand?"NONE
Because Ancient of days is capitalized, one might assume this to be referring to God. The saints of the most High must also be referring to the saints of God for the very same reason that High is also capitalized.
The word times in Daniel 7:25 MEANS H2166 זְמָן zmân from H2165; the same as H2165:—season, time. The root word H2165 זְמָן zmân zem-awn' From H2163; an appointed occasion:—season, time.So the third set of Kings desire to change occasions and laws. Occasions are entities set up in time for a purpose or celebration. Birthdays, CIA, FBI, EPA. These are occasions. This is being established today.
Bruce,The truth of Salvation always touches my heart.We live in a world where hatred is on the rise. Matt 24 10-12. I have been confronted by people I love say the creation story of Christians and the book they read is a flat out lie.It is turning millinials away in the groves.I know I will not win the battle Daniel 7:25Daniel 8:24Daniel 11: 36 -39.I hope for either Matt 24 :13 or Luke 21:36
It seems to me, that the "Roman" system has never really been completely taken away, but rather splintered and dispersed throughout the world, and remains today as it were "mingled with the clay." As for those other "beasts;" it says that "their lives shall be preserved," but the dominion will be given to the Saints. The Antichrist and its followers shall be ashes under our feet; ( Malachi 4:1-3).
Daniel's vision here in chapter 7(particularly the 4th Beast, 10 horns and little horn, the thrones, books being opened,etc ) are a precursor to Revelation 20.
Unlike most commonly held views, this 4th beast is not Rome, but a resurrected Rome-like Endtime government during the Great Tribulation period. This government is ruled by the indwelt satan-Antichrist who receives power from 10 kingdom-nations
Bruce, thank you for your ans. I posted the scriptures Revelation 13:7 and Daniel 7:25 because these two scriptures would keep me from believing in the "rapture." If the beast is coming to make war with the saints Rev 13:7 or to wear out the saints of the Most High Dan 7:25 then explain how this can happen if we are not here? I am afraid God's people will not be prepared for what is to come.
4th beast takes the 1st 3 into itself and becomes a one-world power. This is why the political beast in Rev 13:1-3 has the characteristics of the 3: Lion, Bear, Leopard. It's the same beast, but in Daniel we get more insight into how it comes together. 1st 3 kings/kingdoms (horns) are plucked up (subdued) by roots by little horn. "Babylon" of end times is spiritual world system Jerusalem centered.
If the saints of God are raptured out then how does He fulfill these scriptures? Daniel 7:25“And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High; Revelation 13:7“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints,
the first beast can not be England just because they use the lion as their coat of arms. If you look at the many ruins of Babylon you will see a lot of lions also. Also this was the first kingdom in Daniel 2. Also the Bible is revealing the line of Gods people, kingdoms that held them captive and oppressed them through history and into the future. Babylon to the Vatican Gods people are opressed.
The first beast can not Babylon. This vision was in the 1st year of its last king. "These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth." Probably in a broader sense England which like Persia let the Jews go home (see the coat of arms for the Lion standing on two feet), Russia the Bear (religion Greek Orthodox), America the Leopard (gov't like Rome),
Daniel 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.
The Kingdom and dominion of Christ mentioned in the book of Daniel Chapter 7V14 can begin in our hearts if we allow Christ to take authourity of our life and be our ruler in all angles of our lives today.Christ's dominion of our lives will be everlasting even if we die because his dominion shall neither be destroyed nor pass away
These represent the world powers that usher in and fulfill the last days. The first was like a lion the British Isles and had eagle 's wings: America I beheld till the wings thereof were pluckt, separated and it was lifted up from the earth, elevated and made stand upon the feet stood independently as a world power as a man, and a mans heart was given to it. a man 's heart can be evil, deceived, or pure
Daniel 7:22 Them 's some powerful wheels. Also they were not metallic. Probably carved out of precious stone as said in ea vs. They either generate or resonate. A nice mystery.
The Church will be taken out before the tribulation happens. Those fascinated with these signs will be deceived. The Christian is to walk by the Bible 2 Corinthians 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight: Look at what the Bible says, Jeremiah 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven for the heathen are dismayed at them. The Christian is not looking for signs like the Jews 1 Corinthians 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: The church will see tribulations which are hard times but not the wrath of the tribulation Revelation 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come and who shall be able to stand? Look here 1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. The Antichrist prevails against saints in the tribulation Daniel 7:21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them but not the church Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Look for Jesus Christ to come for His church any minute not the signs for the Jews. Have a nice day.
THIS CHAPTER LETS US KNOW THAT THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING HAS WOOL HAIR, SENT HIS SON TO REDEEM HIS PEOPLE FROM BEING ABUSED, USED, KILLED, INPRISONED, AND OPPRESSED. IT ALSO SHOWS US HOW SOME OF THE WICKED CUSTOMS CAME INTO PLAY. HIS PEOPLE TIME OF BEING WORN OUT IS ALMOST AT AN END HAIL YAHUAH!!!! SHALOM
You can worship God any day of the week...God is seeking worship in spirit and in truth...The sabbath day is a day of rest under the law of the old covenant, when God created the heavens and the earth in six days Genesis chapter 1 ...If you want to keep the sabbath day? Do no work on the sabbath day... You are not under the works of the law of the old covenant, but under grace.
I have always attended church on Sunday, never thought to observe the Sabbath Day which is a commandment of God. However, my faith and trust Have grown more and more and the Holy Spirit lead me into all truth. When I started reading Revelations then I received the truth about the Sabbath Day. I have attended Life church for 22 yrs. Never taught about what day to worship to keep the Sabbath. Now I do not want to attend the church because they worship on Sunday what should I do in between looking for another church who worship on Saturday? Since Saturday was changed to Sunday through man 's law and not of God because God does not change.
