The next vision Daniel has (Daniel 8) features a ram and he goat. This vision is about Medo-Persia and Greece—the Bible actually confirms this explicitly! There is still a bit of debated prophecy, namely the beginning and end of the 2300 days, well also, how long is 2300 days? It sounds like a dumb question, but once we start talking about it you might start asking yourself the same question... 26 And the vision of the evening and the morning… Read more »

Daniel 7 is a lot. A lot! But we're going to work our way through this. In part 1 we're going to talk about the vision itself and how the imagery in the vision appears in other parts of the Bible. Introduction Daniel 7 gives us the prophecy of four beasts which represent kings—people often interpret this to mean kingdoms, but I double checked an interlinear Bible [1] and the word used in Daniel 7:17 is actually king, not kingdom.

In this episode we're going to talk about the vision/dream that Nebuchadnezzar had in Daniel 2. Daniel not only receives the interpretation of this vision to tell us that there will be a series of successive kingdoms before the Kingdom of God comes, but God also tells him the dream itself. Plus, it wouldn't be prophecy if it didn't pull from symbolism elsewhere in the Bible. Let's take a look! Introduction In Daniel 2, we learn tha… Read more »

Not to be confused with the Whore of Babylon, not much info is given on the Queen of Babylon, but that which is definitely makes her worth studying!
