Two Remarkable Predictions

Conrad Hilario
Amos 9:14-15

God gives Daniel detailed predictions of future events, some of which have already come to pass, and others that are yet to be fulfilled in the end times. We see how God uses prophecy to show he is real, bolster our faith, and give us confidence in His written word.

The Four Beasts and The Little Horn

Scott Risley
Daniel 7:1-25

While Belshazzar was still king of Babylon, Daniel had "visions of the night", which he wrote down. He describes how he saw the four winds blowing on the ocean. Four different beasts come up from the sea; a lion, a bear, a leopard with four bird wings, and the fourth beast is the worst and most terrible with teeth made of iron. It also has ten horns from which one little horn pops up and knocks out three of the other horns. The little horn has human eyes and speaks arrogantly from its mouth. We will look at types, types of Christ, and the Antichrist.

The Old Testament Antichrist

James Rochford
Isaiah 11:11-12

Only God can tell us the future before it even happens. In Daniel we see God prophesy Antiochus Epiphanes IV as a foreshadowing of the end times antichrist. God validates who He is and gives undeniable evidence through prophecy. In Isaiah, we see God predict a historically unique event; the Jewish nation being regathered and put back in the land if Israel.

Climax of Human History

Conrad Hilario
Revelation 17:9-12

God reveals to Daniel the future course of history, accurately predicting the Greek and Roman empires, as well as foretelling the events of the end of human history yet to come. When we trust in Jesus, we can have hope and security, even in the midst of such turbulent times.

The Ram, The Goat and The Small Horn

Scott Risley
Daniel 8:1-27

Non-biblical attempts to predict the future, including those of Nostradamus, have failed. The book of Daniel, however, contains multiple fulfilled prophecies, including the vision recorded in Daniel 8. In the third year of King Belshazzar's reign, Daniel sees a vision of a ram, a goat, and a small horn. The angel Gabriel visits Daniel and explains the vision to him. The ram represents the Medo-Persian empire united under Cyrus the Great. The goat represents the Greek empire under Alexander the Great. The small horn represents King Antiochus IV, the great persecutor of the Jews. Antiochus is also a type of the antichrist described in the book of Revelation.\r\n

The Final World Ruler

James Rochford
2 Thessalonians 2:4

In Daniel's prophetic vision in chapter seven we get a picture of the antichrist. He is going to come and rule for seven years on earth. During this time he will: be the single world ruler, be a powerful speaker, control the worlds finances, and persecute the people of God. He will gain his power by leading through misinformation and claiming to be God himself. The antichrist can come in any generation and will be identified by the number, "666". Believers can be comforted in knowing that God is ultimately in control and will one day return.

Predictions of World Empires

James Rochford
Daniel 2:1-45

Daniel interprets King Nebuchadnezzar's dream, laying out a prophecy which predicts the rule of World Empires centuries in advance.

Nebuchadnezzar's Nightmare

Scott Risley
Daniel 2:1-44

King Nebuchadnezzar has a nightmare and none of his astrologers or wise men can tell him what it was or what it meant. Daniel and his friends pray and God gives Daniel insight. Daniel predicts for Nebuchadnezzar the end of his kingdom and the kingdoms that will follow.

Nebuchadnezzar's Dream

Dennis McCallum
Daniel 7:23-24

Nebuchadnezzar has a dream. He is bothered by this dream and asks for all the wise men to come him what it means. There is only one man in all of Babylon with the ability to do that, Daniel. Daniel explains what Nebuchadnezzar's dream is and what it means. This teaching covers biblical prophecy for Daniel's time and also for what is still to come...
