Daniel
Jehovah God revealed to Daniel about the dreams and visions, and all of them are related to “The End of Time”, God’s Kingdom, Holy people and Sanctuary, Jerusalem and the beasts. They are <Dream of Statue>, <The Greatest Top Tree and 7 Periods>, <The Four Great Beasts>, <The Ram and The Goat>, <Seventy Sevens> and <Sealed until the time of the end>.
Dream of Statue
Firstly, in Daniel chapter 2 of the Dream of Statue is about a statue formed with Golden head, Silver arms, Bronze hips and thighs , Iron and Clay leg and foot. Each material represents a kingdom. And finally God’s kingdom will break this statue and rule over the whole world, it will happen at the end time.
The Greatest Top Tree and 7 Period
And then chapter 4 is the dream about the greatest top tree and 7 periods. As same as the dream of statue, this dream is about people “know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom(holy people) he will”, so God will give the kingdom to the holy people. Actually, we can say the dream separated into 2 parts, part 1 is the dream of statue and part 2 is the dream of greatest top tree and 7 periods. Both of them are about God’s kingdom, the beasts(dominion of the world) and saints.
From the Jerusalem destroyed in 607BC to the end time, there are 7 periods, from AD 70 to the end time is “a time, times, a half of time”(three and half times) period. That means from sanctuary(Jerusalem) destroyed from 607BC to AD 70 is also three and half times(3.5 period).
The tree(Jerusalem) represents the dominion of the whole world. When the tree copped down means the dominion of Jerusalem was stopped. At the same time, the dominion changed(transfered) to the beasts. After the 7 periods, the tree grow again, that means God’s kingdom will rule again and it is the “New Jerusalem” from heaven.
The Four Great Beasts
After that in chapter 7 God reveals a vision to Daniel, that is the four great Beasts. They are Lion(Babylon), Bear(Media and Persia), Leopard(Greece) and the fourth beast is an unnamable beast(Roman and ten horns, EU, US). The description of the fourth beast is mainly about the final part of it, because it is related to Holy people and the God’s kingdom at the end time. In the End Time, the forth beast will “made war with the saints and prevailed over them”. God will judge and burn the fourth beast and give kingdom to the holy people(saints).
The Ram and Goat
In chapter 8, this vision is related to the ram and goat(Media and Persia, Greece), and it’s about the sanctuary at the end time. This vision is about Jerusalem destroyed in AD 70, it tells us after 2300 evenings and mornings the sanctuary will be restored. It also tells us the goat(third beast) is related to the fourth beast, one of their kingdoms will grow up and become the little horn(the fourth beast). God reveals that “a king of bold face, one who understands riddles, shall arise”, finally “he shall even rise up against the Prince of princes, and he shall be broken—but by no human hand”.
Seventy Sevens – Seventy Weeks
In chapter 9, this is a very exciting and interesting vision about “Seventy Sevens” or “Seventy Weeks“. This vision is about “your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place”. When did this vision start? What does it mean of “1260 days”? And what does “a time, times, a half of time” mean? This is also related to the end time, holy people, sanctuary and God’s kingdom. Please read it.
The North King and the South King
And finally, Daniel chapter 10-12 is related to North King and South King conflict. At the end time “shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble(the Great Tribulation), such as never has been since there was a nation till that time “. What is 1290 days? and what is 1335 days? “For the words are shut up(keep secret) and sealed until the time of the end“. Maybe we can know God’s words now, for our time is the end time.
Let’s Prayer
Our heavenly Father, may you reveal and help us to understand Daniel’s dreams and visions. May Jesus send Angel Gabriel to let us know God’s words. For your words is hidden and nobody known unless you reveal it. May your name be holy, your kingdom come, sanctuary restore(New Jerusalem). May we all give Glory, Praise, Power and Honor to Father and Jesus Christ. Amen.
Prayer is also in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
