Index for skipping ahead.
We've seen in Part 1 and Part 2 the age of the scrolls of Daniel, how it was written long before Jesus was born and how the prophesies foretold by Daniel have been proven from the time of Babylon until the time of the fall of the Papacy. We went thru the 2300 day/year prophecy of Daniel real fast without much details involved.
Amazing isn't it?
How God loves us so much to give us future prophecy to double check on and believe.
1 Kings 18:21-40 If Baal is god, follow him; If the Lord is God, follow Him.
God's Challenge:
Isaiah 41:21-23 Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob. (22) Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come. (23) Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
If Atheism is true, let man show the future and follow him. If God be God, and He is able to produce the future, then follow Him. (Paraphrased). God gives us prophecy for those who need more information before blindly believing, and for those who research to know what is to come in the future as the Bible does in fact talk about our future, of which is to come.
This is not some weird denomination teaching/doctrine, this what we see in Daniel from the Bible, which we will start to dive more into in the series of "The Book of Daniel Exposed".
This picture (above) is very helpful while taking the time to dive into the Book of Daniel. We can also go into the Book of Revelations but just using Daniel alone is all you need when trying to prove to others that the Bible is true and holds stand fast to all scrutiny (critical observation or examination) that comes.
I have already said alot and provided much material inside parts one and two:
How much more material does Daniel give?
Well let's recap real fast.
I provided some links which you can easily access yourself to find out that Daniel was written long before the time of Jesus, and talked about the fall of Babylon and the rise and fall of the next 3 empires after Babylon which you can find in historical documents.
What is more amazing is the horns and many heads. Daniel and Revelations use the principal of repeat and enlarge. Each chapter associated with a certain prophecy must be gone thru back and forth for more information sometimes if you can't get all the details needed from the previous chapter(s).
Example: Daniel 2 talks about the image inside Nebuchadnezzar's dream.
Daniel Interprets the Dream
Daniel 2:31-35 KJV Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. (32) This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, (33) His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. (34) Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. (35) Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
Continues on the rest of chapter, ...
Daniel 2 gives alot of information alone. Head is Babylon V:38 ... Thou art this head of gold. Then goes on to next king describes as arms of silver, we see the Medo-Persia empire is 2 empires merged as one in a joint union and 1 is stronger than the other and they are known for the silver they use.
Brass/Bronze is Greece, also known for the Bronze age.
Iron is Rome with 10 toes and mixed with clay. Just Daniel 2 gives us alot and the time set starting in Babylon and ending with the rock: 2:34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
This chapter alone is enough to some people, but to those who want to study, we need more information and so we use the entire Bible, not just 1 verse or 1 chapter when doing a study.
Then in part 2 I started talking about the Religious system that came out of Rome's 10 generals after the fall. This also can be seen in history without much searching, just got to do the actual searching of it to find it. Google is a wonderful program to use when searching but not always needed, cause there are some people out there with zero access to internet, and so they rely on books and scrolls and whatever is written down. You know, the old fashion way, verbal and written teachings.
From a Catholic point of view, the censorship of the Bible was done both by restricting Bibles from those lacking instruction and by censoring translations thought to encourage deviations from official Catholic doctrines.[4]
You can research more on that topic more if you like. Censorship on the Bible has been done for over 1000 years. 1260 for the Papal rulership, and in many places even to this day long after the 1260 is over if you wanna think North Korea or almost any and all Muslim dominate regions where Bible is banned. It's a known fact that many countries do not like and some do not allow Bible. On a nation's view, I understand that point, but on a Religious view I do not understand that. Only reason for a church to censor or ban Bible is to teach practices that are not in the Bible, which is why many people celebrate:
Oct 31, Reformation day.
Halloween (October 31) is celebrated by millions each year with costumes and candy. Halloween’s deepest roots are decidedly pagan, despite its Christianized name. Its origin is Celtic and has to do with summer sacrifices to appease Samhain, the lord of death, and evil spirits. Those doing the pagan rituals believed that Samhain sent evil spirits abroad to attack humans, who could escape only by assuming disguises and looking like evil spirits themselves. Christians tried to confront these pagan rites by offering a Christian alternative (All Hallows’ Day) that celebrated the lives of faithful Christian saints on November 1. In medieval England the festival was known as All Hallows, hence the name Halloween (All Hallows’ Eve) for the preceding evening.
Reformation Day, anniversary of the day Martin Luther is said to have posted his Ninety-five Theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany (October 31, 1517), later identified by Protestants as the beginning of the Reformation. (SeeResearcher’s Note: The posting of the theses.)
More can be said about this holiday, but the point is Martin Luther picked this day cause many people would be there from many parts of the surrounding area.
Bible is banned in many places today, this is not a debate cause it's a well known fact. But Bible holds so much truth inside it, so why is Bible banned from many places? Even inside the Catholic church according to our history?
There are many good links to consider like this one that try and talk about what happened in our history concerning the Bible.
The Romans perfected crucifion for 500 years until it was abolished by Constantine I in the 4th century AD. Crucifixion in Roman times was applied mostly to slaves, disgraced soldiers, Christians and foreigners--only very rarely to Roman citizens.
Did Constantine merge church and state?
The night before meeting at the Milvian Bridge, Constantine prayed for success in the coming battle. Either in a vision or a dream, he saw an image with the script "In Hoc Signo Vinces" ("In this sign, conquer"). Controversy still swirls around both the event and the image that he saw.
Christians have been persecuted for a long long time, and to this day some Christians are still persecuted daily. Why? Why would people seek to kill someone who does not fight but only spreads the Gospel to others? As a nation, again I understand, but as a church I do not understand except thru censorship. The truth inside the Bible has gone thru alot of censorship. Why? Even today I can find on YouTube some Catholic person claiming Tradition over Bible. Why would people today try and censor the Bible? If you believe in satan and God, then you will believe that satan does not want the truth exposed. Satan does not want any of the truth found inside the Bible to come out. And so, this is my goal.
I once was in the Religion of Atheism (Wix), (Also on Quora: Religion of Atheism Quora post) but after learning a tiny bit about this did I start to research more and more into my beliefs and this new belief. I had to figure out if what is said is true or false, but that is what I went thru and so I share this to others. Bible is true and holds strong, and what other Religions out there is able to hold strong on a prophecy over 2K years and be found factual? That is your goal if you want to know.
Recap 2
Daniel's scrolls were written before Jesus.
Daniel's prophecy expands over 2300 years.
Daniel cannot be disproven.
The Christian Church after Jesus were persecuting people, mainly other Christians.
Bible was banned by state and Religion.
Contents inside Bible were hidden from public, by church.
Did I miss anything on the recaps?
Let's examine these 4 chapters inside Daniel. Chapters 10, 11 and 12 can be on another post.
Daniel 2 prophecy interpretation starts at 31-45.
Daniel 7 prophecy interpretation starts at 15-28.
Daniel 8 prophecy interpretation starts at 15-27.
Daniel 9 prophecy interpretation starts at 20-27.
Now the whole chapters can be examined for more information but we are just trying to get to the point of the prophecy and how each chapter is talking about the same prophecy. As soon as we can understand what is said inside Daniel 2 and 7,8,9, we can then start to paint a picture and how many other prophecies from men do not meet the text inside Daniel.
Which is why I love this picture.
This picture helps summarize Daniel.
But some people don't want some man made picture, and so we must show text from the Bible. You can cross reference the text thru translation all you want, as I use mainly KJV or NKJV and concordance. Hardly do I ever use NIV or anything else when concordance is available.
So in Daniel 2 we see an image that the king dreamt and Daniel was able to interpret it.
4 Metals:
Gold
Silver
Brass
Iron
Iron/Clay
Rock
Daniel 2:38 KJV ... Thou art this head of gold. This starts the time frame of the statue, with Babylon, specifically Nebuchadnezzar.
Daniel 7:2 make start with Babylon as beasts. Babylon being the Lion
Daniel 8:20 KJV The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. This verse indicates the start of this vision, not with Babylon but with Medes and Persia.
Daniel 9:2 KJV In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. Daniel 9:24 KJV Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Daniel 9 starts at the prophet Jeremiah. This indicates that there was more than 1 prophet in Babylon's time.
With just these 4 chapters, we see how Daniel is making a claim. A claim on the future which no human has the ability to know, and yes, people do make claims and predictions all the time, but what human has ever been correct on his prediction concerning over 2300 years? Concerning over 100 years? Concerning over 1 year? Concerning over a couple weeks? Our Weather men/ladies have a difficult time trying to predict the weather of tomorrow and yet majority of people trust our weather men/ladies as if they hold the truth that it is raining today and yet you step outside and see no clouds... Yet you still believe them without question.
Why do you question the Bible while believing "Blindly" to man's opinion?
Each of these chapters is a repeat and enlarge method which is used when reading Daniel and Revelations. When something is talking about the same thing from another chapter or book, we must goto that place and see what is being said and how they line up together.
So when Daniel 2 talks about the 4 beasts before the end of time (Rock cut without hands), and other chapters also talk about it but with more detail, means we have to place everything together and not separate.
Daniel 7:4-7 talks about 4 beasts in more detail than chapter 2 provided. Now in chapter 7 we see many heads on 2 beasts and last one with 10 horns plus a little horn.
Lion with wings.
Bear (lopsided?) with 3 ribs in its mouth.
Leopard with 4 wings and 4 heads.
Terrible beast diverse from all others with iron teeth and 10 horns
Parallels chapter 2 but adds more information. Now we must understand what the symbols are.
Head = Nation/King/Kingdom
Horn = Nation/King/Kingdom
Daniel 7:17 KJV These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
Daniel 7:24 KJV And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
Daniel 7:21 KJV I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
So this means:
That the 4th beast with 10 horns (Plus little horn) are also Nation/King/Kingdom.
The Leopard with 4 heads also 4 kingdoms.
1. The kingdom of Cassander (circa 358-297 BC), consisted of Macedonia, most of Greece, and parts of Thrace.
2. The kingdom of Lysimachus (circa 361-281 BC), included Lydia, Ionia, Phrygia, and other parts of present-day Turkey.
3. The kingdom of Seleucus (died 281 BC; later the Seleucid Empire), comprised present-day Iran, Iraq, Syria, and parts of Central Asia.
4. The kingdom of Ptolemy I (died 283 BC) included Egypt and neighboring regions.
We know from history that after Alex died, 4 generals acquired what was left. Daniel, during Babylon time, predicted the fall of Babylon/Medes-Persia/Greece and the rise of 4 generals after Greece, .. and there's still more to read and examine cause we ain't done yet.
Lion with wings.
Bear (lopsided?) with 3 ribs in its mouth.
Leopard with 4 wings and 4 heads.
Terrible beast diverse from all others with iron teeth and 10 horns
After Rome fell,10 generals were left to claim what was left. When the little horn started to rise up, 3 horns were plucked by the roots (Genocide). And the 10 horns is what Europe is now today.
Daniel 7:25 KJV And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
This is a Religious horn/Nation/Kingdom, not like some other nation since the little horn will blaspheme and many other things, and this Religious kingdom will last a "Time and times and the dividing of time". (Time means 1 year/Times means 2 years/Half means half year).
Which Religious authority came up after the fall of Rome?
Christianity came up after the fall of Rome.
Christianity, when it started up, was given power and authority to rule by the sword under man's laws, not given by God but given by man. This is one of the reasons why people dislike Religion because of what Christians have done in the past once received the authority to kill, .. in the name of Jesus of course, cause we love you, and you must convert now or we kill you.
Kinda sounds like the Muslim Doctrines found inside the many many Qurans and Hadiths huh? They learn this method from Christianity, .. specifically the Papacy. The Roman Catholic Church is the little horn in Daniel. If Daniel can predict the entire history from Babylon to end of time and yet people wanna question the little horn is not Papal power, then you must reexamine Daniel again and see that this power is a Religious power according to Daniel 7:25.
End:
Daniel 2 and 7 are talking about the same prophecy.
Babylon = Gold and Lion
Medes-Persia = Silver and Bear with 3 ribs in mouth
Greece = Bronze and 4 headed Leapord
Rome = Iron and Terrible beast with 10 horns
Papacy = Little horn that speaks great words against the most High
But we must continue to go back and forth from each chapter. One chapter alone is enough but as we study we can't just stay in one spot, especially when learning what symbols mean doesn't always show the meaning inside the 1 chapter.
As Ivor Myers would say it, ... let me just say "Wow" for you, ... "Wow". Something like that he would say, cause this information is very interesting when I first started to learn this, ... from the Bible.
Hopes this helps, cause there is alot of details I did miss out on but trying to make this simple to understand. Some people can make this much easier to understand for which I am also learning how to also make simple for all people of almost all ages to easily look and learn and share this easy to understand information that destroys all other Religions. Yes, even the Religion of Atheism.
I'll keep working on the series of Daniel, the recaps took alot of space here, lol.
And yes, if I did miss anything, plz remember that yes I did miss alot on purpose as trying to keep it simple here. Each chapter of Daniel can be posted separately and still able to miss out on some information. This isn't about trying to get everything, but trying to understand which is more important, and I'm not even touching on Revelations, cause all you need is Daniel, Revelations provide alot more information, right now just posting how true and correct Daniel is before talking about a NT scroll.
