More from Daniel.

1. More from Daniel. • Previous consideration of Dan 2 and 7 showed fourth Empire to be Rome. • Represented by beast which is to continue in some form until coming of Jesus. • Such O.T. knowledge of ‘beast with 10 horns as standing for Rome’, can be used to recognize significance when it occurs again in the Revelation.

2. A Little Horn. “8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.” Dan 7.

3. Saints Possess The Kingdom. “21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; 22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.” Daniel 7

5. The Roman Beast System. • In the Revelation ten horned Roman beast appears in several forms over the period of its existence. • Book predicts continuing story of Daniel’s fourth, or Roman beast system throughout its total career. • Story begins in Apostle John’s time with Roman Empire - ends in defeat by the ‘Lamb’ at his appearance - yet future.

7. What Daniel Did Not Know. • Daniel not given interpretation of his dream of beasts - this to be closed up and “sealed” “until the time of the end.” (Dan.12:9) • That time likely to be end of the Jewish Age - AD 70. • An unsealing of that which had been sealed is identified in Revelation, “a book written within and on the backside sealed with seven seals.” (Rev.5:1).

8. “Unsealing” by Revelation. • Things partly revealed to Daniel - are explained further at close of Jewish age, in first century AD. • Book of Revelation symbolically ‘unseals’ that hidden from Daniel. • After Jesus, events progress according to Father’s plan. • Seals are unloosed - events move forward just as scroll might be unrolled. (Rev.6)
