Daniel 7-9, Isaiah 44
from Commuter Bible Hosted by John Ross
We are now in the second half of Daniel which focuses on the dreams and visions that Daniel himself received. These visions include imagery of beasts, animals, and horns, representing kingdoms and the kings who come from them. Some of what Daniel sees is explained within the text itself while some remains the topic of debate and speculation to this day. Some, however, has clearly been fulfilled, like the goat which tramples the ram. The goat is the Greek Empire and it’s conspicuous horn is Alexander the Great, who trampled the Medo-Persia empire only to die suddenly at the peak of his power. Antiochus emerges from one of the four new kingdoms, a ruler who persecutes the Jews, stops regular sacrifices, and defiles the temple. Daniel 7 - 1:09 . Daniel 8 - 8:12 . Daniel 9 - 14:39 . Isaiah 44 - 21:51 . ::: Christian Standard Bible translation. All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.
