Daniel’s visions: Daniel given the name “Belteshazzar”. Daniel 1:7 Daniel given the dream of the king of Babylon and its interpretation. Dan.2:9,19, 31-35 The dream of five kingdoms: the present gold kingdom, an inferior kingdom of silver, then bronze, then iron, then God’s everlasting. 2:36-44 Three men thrown in a fiery furnace become four. The fourth has the appearance of the son of God. None are hurt or clothes burned by the fire. 3:12-27

The king has another dream of a huge tree destroyed. 4:10-26 Daniel, Belteshazzar, interprets that the king will be driven into the fields to eat grass for 7 times (years) until he knows that “heaven rules”. Nebuchadnezzar’s dream fulfilled until his hair appears as eagle feathers and his nails are like bird’s claws. Then his kingdom is restored and he praised and honored God. 4:28-37

Nebuchadnezzar’s son, Belshazzar, throws a feast with, Jerusalem’s plunder, honoring

false Gods. He sees a finger write on the wall. 5:1-16 Daniel interprets the writing that God has numbered his kingdom and finished it. The king was found wanting and his kingdom would be divided. The king was slain that night and the kingdom given to Darius. 5:18-31

Daniel found favor with king Darius, who wanted to put him in charge of the kingdom. The other governors devise a plan to get rid of Daniel by convincing the king to make a decree to throw anyone asking help from any but the king into a den of lions. When Daniel heard the decree was signed, he was found praying to God. Daniel was then thrown to the lions, with the king believing that God would save him. A stone was put to seal the lion’s den and the king fasted and could not sleep. The next day Daniel was found safe, therefore, the king had the others that had accused him, with their wives and children, thrown into the lions den. They were eaten before they hit the den floor.6:1-24 Daniel’s God is honored throughout the kingdom. 6:25-27

Daniel has a dream of 4 heavenly winds stirring up the sea. Four beasts (kings): a lion with eagle wings, a bear with 3 ribs in its mouth, a leopard with 4 bird wings and 4 heads and a very strong beast with huge iron teeth and 11 horns (kings). The Ancient of Days (Christ) comes and the large beast is destroyed in flames. 7:1-12 Daniel sees the Son of Man (Jesus) coming with the clouds. 7:13-14 Daniel is told the interpretation of the dream. 7:16-27 Daniel has another dream of a ram with two uneven horns pushing West, North and South. Then a male goat from the West, with a horn between his eyes, attacked the ram and his small horn changed into 4 large horns. And out of one horn grew a small horn that grew to the South and East toward the Glorious Land. He exalted himself as high as the Prince of the host and took away the daily sacrifices and cast down the sanctuary. Due to transgression an army was given to the horn (the anti Christ) to oppose the sacrifices, casting the truth down as he prospered.

Then two holy ones discussed how long this would be endured. The reply was 2300 days. Then one with the appearance of a man told that the vison was of the end time. 8:1-19 The interpretation of the dream is given in 8:20-26. (In the latter time Satan will be allowed to become powerful and destroy much of that which is Holy. Then, he will be spiritually broken by God.) Daniel understands by the books the number of years told by Jeremiah. Seventy years would be accomplished in the desolations of Jerusalem. 9:2 He saw man’s sin and how many of Israel, and especially Jerusalem, were driven to far lands and punished because of their unfaithfulness to God an not believing His truth. (Jesus Christ is the son of God) 9:5-7,11-13 Daniel prays for God’s mercy on Israel’s behalf. 9:15-19 Daniel fasts for 3 weeks and sees a man (Christ) in linen richly arrayed and with a fierce countenance and strong voice. 10:3-11 He tells Daniel that “from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before God, your words have been heard. I have come because of your words.” He was delayed but came to help Daniel understand what was to happen in the latter days. He told of 4 kings out of Persia. The fourth, richer than all the others, would stir up the world against Greece. Then another mighty king would have his kingdom divided in four and ruled by outsiders. The king of the South and one of his princes shall gain power over him. The daughter of the South king would be taken by the king of the North, but a branch of her roots (children), one would prevail over the North king. 10:13-21, 11:1-7 The North king will go to the Southern

king’s kingdom and return. His sons assemble an army that is overcome by the king of the South. The South king’s heart will be lifted up and tens of thousands will be cast down. But the king of the North again returns to fortify a city that the king of the South cannot take. 11:8-15 One shall come against the king of the North with upright people and shall take the Glorious Land. He then attacks the coast lands, but another enters causing the attacker to turn back to his homeland where he stumbles and falls (making an error resulting in defeat) and is destroyed. He is replaced by one that taxes the glorious kingdom. Within a few days that one is destroyed, not by anger or battle. He is replaced by a vile person who does not receive honor or royalty. He comes in peaceably, but takes power by intrigue (deceit). 11:16-21

A force as a flood takes away his people and the prince of the covenant. A pact is then made with the leader, who by deceit and a small force becomes strong. He enters peaceably and disperses the plunder and spoils. For a short time he makes plans against the strongholds. He comes against the king of the South with a great army. The king of the South is defeated by plans against him. Both kings are desiring evil and speak lies at a meeting. As one (the anti-Christ) returns to his own land, he does damage to the holy covenant. As he turns South, ships from Cyprus attack and he returns to attack the holy covenant again. He allies with those rejecting the holy covenant. They defile the sanctuary fortress (temple), stop the daily sacrifices and replace them with the abomination of the desolation. (An idol causing desolation). From the time that the daily sacrifices are stopped and the abomination of desolation is set up shall be 1290 days. 12:11 The evil ones corrupt with flattery, but the godly people remain faithful and resist greatly. Eventually, they are overcome by sword and flame, captivity and plundering. A few help due to their understanding, but many join the battle by intrigue. Those that fight for the truth are overcome to purify them for the appointed time. The evil king (anti-Christ) exalts himself and speaks lies against God. He has no regard for God or the desires of women. He honors a fake god of fortresses with many riches and pleasant things, and divides the land for his gain. 11:22-39 Then the kings of the South and North attack him with successes. He, in turn attacks Egypt to gain riches.

But news of battle failures infuriates him to destroy many. He finally makes a stand between the seas and the holy mountain. 11:40-45 Now Michael, (God’s angel) pours out troubles on the world to deliver the holy people. All people living and dead are judged.12:1-3 (John 5:28-29)

Daniel then saw two others standing with the man in linen (Christ) by the river. One asked the man in white how long before all these things happen. His reply, a time, times and ½ a time when the holy people are completely shattered. 12:5-7

Problems come upon the holy ones to purify and refine them. The wise will understand this. 12:10

Hosea told to marry a harlot because the land (Israel) had committed great harlotry in departing from the Lord. Hosea 1:1-2 He married Gomer and had a son, Jezreel.God promises to avenge the house of Jehu for those Jezreel killed, by ending the kingdom of Israel in the valley of Jezreel. 1:3-5 A daughter, Lo-Ruhamah, was then born to Hosea. Her name signified that God would no longer have mercy on Israel, except the house of Judah, and would totally take the lost away from the land. Judah’s people would be saved by God. 1:6-7 A second son named Lo-Ammi, was born to Hosea.

His name meaning that God recognized Israel was no longer a people of God and therefore God rejected Israel. 1:8-9 However, the remaining people of Israel were to become as many as the sand of the sea in the same place that God rejected Israel. God further would tell them that “you are sons of the living God” in that same place. (They were to be redeemed again.) They were to come out of the land with a leader they choose in the day of Jezreel! 1:10-11

Hosea told to tell Israel that they were children of a harlot and God would not have mercy on them. Their way was to be thorny, for they would chase the evil that they loved without satisfaction. God would take away the religious celebrations. Ultimately, they would turn back to God. He would comfort them and give them vineyards in the wilderness and a door of hope in the Valley of Achor*. Then God would make a covenant with them and all creatures to be at peace on the earth with righteousness, justice, lovingkindness and mercy in harmony with God forever. Hosea 2.

* Valley of Achor: Joshua 7:24 Where Joshua brought his family and the house of Israel.

Joshua 7:26 Where God turned from the fierceness of anger. Joshua 15:7 South of Gilgal in Palestine.

Isaiah 65:10 A place of peace where flocks can lie down and God’s people can rest.

(Where Armageddon’s final war occurs between good and evil.)

No prophecy of scripture is by a private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. Beware the destructive ways of false prophets and teachers that blaspheme the way of truth.

2^nd Peter 1:20 through 2:3

Heaven and earth to be destroyed by heat with a great noise. 2^nd Peter 3:10
