My sanity returned, and I praised and worshiped the Most High and honored the one who lives forever. His rule is everlasting, and his kingdom is eternal. Neo-BabylonianEmpire

And I heard a voice saying to it, “Get up! Devour the flesh of many people!” Daniel 8:20 “…represents the kings of Media and Persia.” “the symbolic action [rearing up o one side] was altogether appropriate for the federated Medo-Persian Empire, in which the Persian element dominated the Median” – Dr. Walvoord, Expositors [3 ribs] “corresponds perfectly to the three major conquests the Medes and Persians made under the leadership of King Cyrus and his son Cambyses…Lydian…Chaldean…Egypt” – Walvoord

  10. Daniel 7 Daniel 8:21 …represents the king of Greece… “This beast portrays the division of Alexander's swiftly won empire into four separate parts within a few years after his death in 323 B.C.”– Walvoord 6 "After this I kept looking, and behold, another one, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird; the beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.

It devoured and crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.

  15. Daniel 7 • 7:8 …and it had ten horns. As I was looking at the horns, suddenly another small horn appeared among them. Three of the first horns were torn out by the roots to make room for it. This little horn had eyes like human eyes and a mouth that was boasting arrogantly. 7:11 "I kept looking because of the sound of the boastful words which the horn was speaking…”

  16. The 10 Horns: Unfulfilled Prophecy • [24b-25] “This little horn had eyes like human eyes and a mouth that was boasting arrogantly. He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time. ”

  17. Revelations 13: “The Beast” [1] And he stood on the sand of the seashore. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. “The Beast” is the “Little Horn” Where’s the “Little Horn” ?

  18. Revelations 13: “The Beast” • [2-3] The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority… • …The whole world was astonished and followed the beast.

Rev. 12:9 The great dragon…that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray…

  19. Revelations 13: “The Beast” [6] He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. [7] He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. Facts about “The Beast”

  20. How Does He Do It? Rev. 13:16-18 He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, [17] so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. [18] This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.
