Now we will tell the interpretation of it before the king. • 37 You, O king, • ….you are this head of gold.

  8. 39 But after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to yours; then another, a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth. 40 And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others. 4 Gentile Kingdoms will arise

  21. Vision of a Ram and a Goat The Goat overtakes the Ram. Daniel 8:8 8 Therefore the male goat grew very great; but when he became strong, the large horn was broken, and in place of it four notable ones came up toward the four winds of heaven. 9 And out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Glorious Land.

  22. Vision of a Ram and a Goat The Goat overtakes the the Ram. Daniel 8:10 10 And it grew up to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them.11 He even exalted himself as high as the Prince of the host; and by him the daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place of His sanctuary was cast down. 12 Because of transgression, an army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices; and he cast truth down to the ground. He did all this and prospered.

He did all this and prospered.

  26. Vision Explained – Goat is Greece Daniel 8:18 18 Now, as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep with my face to the ground; but he touched me, and stood me upright. 19 And he said, “Look, I am making known to you what shall happen in the latter time of the indignation; for at the appointed time the end shall be.20 The ram which you saw, having the two horns—they are the kings of Media and Persia. 21 And the male goat is the kingdom of Greece. The large horn that is between its eyes is the first king. 22 As for the broken horn and the four that stood up in its place, four kingdoms shall arise out of that nation, but not with its power.

  27. A Sinister King Shall Arise • Daniel 8:23 • 23 “And in the latter time of their kingdom, • When the transgressors have reached their fullness, • A king shall arise, • Having fierce features, • Who understands sinister schemes. • 24 His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; • He shall destroy fearfully, • And shall prosper and thrive; • He shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people.

  28. A Sinister King Shall Arise • Daniel 8:25 • 25 “Through his cunning • He shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule; • And he shall exalt himself in his heart. • He shall destroy many in their prosperity. • He shall even rise against the Prince of princes; • But he shall be broken without human means. • 26 “And the vision of the evenings and mornings • Which was told is true; • Therefore seal up the vision, • For it refers to many days in the future.” • 27 And I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for days; afterward I arose and went about the king’s business. I was astonished by the vision, but no one understood it.

  29. Antioch Epiphanies Antiochus IV, ruled from 175 until 164 b.c. During his reign there was a Jewish squabble for the high priesthood on the part of Jason and Menelaus, and because of their misbehavior Antiochus visited Jerusalem in 169 and insisted on entering the holy of holies, and carried off some of the gold and silver vessels. Pressure from Egypt convinced him of the necessity to Hellenize the Jews.

  30. Antioch Epiphanies Measures against the Jewish religion were brutal and resulted in the cessation of the sacrifices in the Temple and the erection of a Greek altar on the site of the old one on 25 December 167. The revolt led by Mattathias of the house of Hashmon and his 5 sons led to the rededication of the Temple just 3 years later. Antiochus minted coins with his image and the title he called himself (Theos) Epiphanies ‘(god) manifest’, died on campaign in Media in 164.

  31. ANTI-OCHUS ANTI-CHRIST

  32. Matthew 24:15 15 “So when you see standing in the holy place the abomination that causes desolation, spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

  33. 24 “Seventy ‘sevens’ (70x7=490) • are decreed for your people and your holy city • to finish transgression, • to put an end to sin, • to atone for wickedness, • to bring in everlasting righteousness, • to seal up vision and prophecy and • to anoint the most holy. Daniel 9:24 Prophecy of 70 “Sevens”

  34. 25 “Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ (49 years) and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ (434 years) (Total of 483 years) It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. Daniel 9:25 – Rebuilding of Jerusalem

  35. 26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing. Daniel 9:26 – Messiah Cut Off!

  36. Daniel 9:27 – Temple Destroyed! The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. 27 He will confirm a covenantwith many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’(3 ½) he will put an end to sacrifice and offering.

  37. Jerusalem Destroyed by the Roman General Titus the son of the Emperor Vespasian using the Syrian Legion

  38. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.” Antichrist will once again defile the Temple
