I. The Dream of Nebuchadnezzar(Dan.2:1-9,31-45)
"Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled. Then the king
commanded the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans,
for to shew (show) the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king and they
failed to interpret the dream. This lead to God giving Daniel the interpretation of the dream
which was "what shall be in the latter days"(Dan.2:28) "the God of heaven set up a king-
dom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people,
but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Forasmuch as thou sawest (you saw) that the stone was cut out of the mountain without
hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the
great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream
is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. (Dan.2:36-44)
A. The focus of this dreamis "what shall be in the latter days"
1. The "latter days"(Dan.2:28)
Many have said in the past that we are in the last(or latter) days. Some even
think that even the early apostles thought that JESUS would return in their day.[0]
(i.e. the 1st Century AD), and now after 2000+ years they are saying "where is the
promise of His Coming?" (2Peter.3:1-9)
The answer is still the same "be not ignorant of this one thing, thatone dayis
with the Lord as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is
not slack (tardy / late)[0] concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but
is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should
come to repentance. (2Peter.3:8-9, Psa.90:4)
You may say, "we are in the last of the last days"
a. God has a CREATION WEEK and a REDEMPTION WEEK (Review: PHASE 3)
b. The Old Testament is the FORMER DAYS (Day 1-4 of chart below)
c. The New Testament is the LATTER DAYS (Day 5-6 of chart below)
d. The Seventh (7th.) day the day of rest (Note chart below)
2. NOTE: The Stonecut out of the mountain without hands
a. Without hands. (Without the arm of flesh Isa.0:00)
(1) God says that He ruleth (rules) in the kingdom of men, and giveth (gives) it to whomsoever
he wil. (Rom.9:1-21; 12 :1-2, 1Peter.2:13-21)
(2) All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed (regarded) as nothing: and he doeth (or does)
according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth:
(a) None can stay his hand(Gen.11:, Exod., Rom.9:1-21, Dan.2-12, Jer.29:10-11, Ezra.1:1-,)
(b) Or say unto him, What doest thou? (i.e. what are you doing? Dan.4:28-35, Rom.9:14-21)
(c) Therefore the Purpose of God(PHASE 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)(Eph.3:1-12)
CANNOT and WILL NOT be effected, impacted, controlled, dominated over by the king-
doms of this world. God is Sovereign[0] and Providential[0]
NOTE: These examples: Pharaoh (Gen.15:1-13; 17:1-8; 21:1-13; 25:5-34;
26-45; Exod.1:1-7; 2:24; 7-12, Rom.9:15-20) Cyrus(2Chron.36:22,
Jer.29:10-11 / Lev.25:1-7, Dan.9:1-27)and Darius(Dan.9:1-27)
b. The "stone" (Second Coming) takes place at the end of the six day.
(1) As it was in the creation week, "on the seventh day God ended his work
which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work
which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:
because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and
made. (Gen.1:31; 2:1-3)
(2) So it is in God's Redemptive week, the mystery of God is finished. THERE
IS NO GOSPEL WORKING IN THE 7th. DAY / MILLENNIUM (Acts.3:18-24,
Rev.10:7; 11:15)
B. "Thou (you) art the head of gold"
Daniel said, "Thou, (you) O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heavenhath given
thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory." (Dan.2:37-38; 4:28-25, Rom.13:1-3)Not
only did God give Nebuchadnezzar the kingdom of Babylon, He also place the next three
kingdoms. (Psa.24:1, Dan.2:37-38; 4:28-25, Rom.13:1-3) He (God) gave Nebuchadnezzar
understanding of the Second Coming of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST,[0] who would destroy
all these kingdoms. (Dan.9:24-30, Rev.11:15; 19:11-21, NOTE: Dan.12:4-, Eph.3:5)
NOTE: God sovereignly[0]controlled Nebuchadnezzar (the king of the Babylonian Empire
to remove the House of Judah from the land "until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths
(Lev.25:1-7, 2Chron.36:1-21, Jer.29:10-11) to bring disciple to the House of Judah into a
70 year captivity. (Daniel was among that captivity Dan.1:1-21; 9:1-2)
C. "After thee (you) shall arise another kingdom" (Silver)
Daniel told Nebuchadnezzar that there "shall arise another kingdom inferior to
thee (you)" (Dan.2:32,39). This kingdom was Media-Persia and is not named by
Daniel in his interpretation but Gabriel does in Dan.8:20-21. Also History does
tell us the next kingdom after Babylon was Media-Persia. (NOTE: Also in Dan.11:1-2)
NOTE: God sovereignlycontrolled Cyrus(Ezra.1:1-2) to release the House of Judah
would be released exactly as Daniel prophesied it would (Dan.9:24-27, Ezra.1:1-5) to
fulfill His purpose. Israel could count the number of years from the "going forth of the
commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem, until MESSIAH would come.
D. "And another kingdom of Brass"
Daniel told Nebuchadnezzar that there would be a third kingdom, (the belly
and thighs of brass that shall "bear rule over all the earth" (Dan.2:39). History
records this to be the kingdom of Greece, under the leadership of Alexander
the great and Gabriel also acknowledges Greece as the next kingdom
(Dan.8:20-21; 11:1-4
E. "The fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron"
The "fourth kingdom (the legs of the image) shall be strong as iron: forasmuch
as iron breaketh (breaks) in pieces and subdueth (subdues) all things...shall it
break in pieces and bruise" (Dan.2:40). History records this "fourth kingdom" to
be Rome[0] which was divided into two, east and west.
1. The two legs of iron[0]
This4th kingdom) stretches from approx. BC 27[0] through to ourpresent day, (approx. over
2,000 years (or 2 days/ 2Peter.3:1-9) These "latter days" (Dan.2:28) are the5th and 6th day of
God's Redemptive Week (Review: PHASE 3)
NOTE: This chartis IT IS NOT SAYING that the earth is only 6,000 years old or that the Second Coming is at the end
of the 6th day. This chartbegins when sin entered the word until the end of the 1000 year rest (the Millennium / 7th day)
taking into account that GOD WORKS 6 DAYS and RESTS the 7th. in His Creation and in His Redemption Plan.
a. However the Roman Empire ended / declined approx. 376–476 AD, abouthalf way through
the 5th day(2Peter.3:1-9) In the interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's "dream" (Dan.2:1-45) reveal
that the 4th kingdom (the "legs") are reaching to the "latter days." (the two feet and 10toes / kings
(Dan.2:42-45; 7:23, [Dan.12:4-9] Rev.12:3; 13:1; 17:3,7,12,16) No other kingdoms are mentioned until
the "latter days." (i.e. the last of the last two days 5th and 6thday time of the end.
(1) These Visions(Dan.7:1-28; 9:1-27; 11:1-35, 36-45) confirm this prophetic silence
/ or gap / time period depicted by the legs (i.e. The 4th kingdom / Roman
Empire) that reaches to the "Latter days"
(2) THEN (at the end of the "latter days" / the 5th and 6th day / the feet of the
legs with 10 toes) this 4th kingdom / ROME will "subdue the whole[0] earth"
(Dan.7:1-28) and become divided into 10 kingdoms. (Dan.2:28, 41-45; 7:23)
(a) These kingdoms and kings are not mentioned by name Daniel because he
was "to shut up the words, and seal the book (scroll)[0]...to the time of the
end (Rev.12:1-13) That is why the order of the end time events (in Revelation)
begins with a "sealed book" being opened. (Rev.1-5:1-14; 6:1)
(b) There is no historical account of the 4th kingdom subduing the whole earth yet.
However there isevidence of the presence of the 4th kingdom / ROME in
the 5th and 6th days of God'sRedemptive Week.
(3) In "the days of these kings" (the 10 toes of the feet of the two legs of iron (Dan.2:40-45) shall
the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not
be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, (i.e. Babylon,
Media-Persia, Greece, the 4th kingdom / Rome) and it shall stand for ever. (Dan.2:44) The
Second Coming of the MESSIAH / JESUS (Rev.10:7; 11:15; 19:11-21) THE FOCUS OF
NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S DREAM.
NOTE: The next dream and vision of our study (Dan.7:1-28)will overlay Nebuchadnezzar's
dream and expand on "the days of these kings"
(a) Between the 10 kings and the Second Coming, (Dan.2:40-45) there is a "little horn"
(Dan.7:8,20-25) that shall arise. This is the antichrist because of this identification mark
that "he shall wear out the saints...until time, times and dividing of time." (Dan.7:24-26,
Rev.13:5) until the ancient of days takes away his dominion
(b) This is is harmony with what Paul wrote to the Thessalonians. "That day (Second Coming)
shall not come...except the man of sin be revealed first(2Thes.2:1-4) who JESUS / MESSIAH
shall destroy him with the brightness of His Coming.
(c) ALSO NOTE: That in the Book of Daniel and Revelation there is ONLY ONE Second Coming
F. To Summarize Nebuchadnezzar's dream
1. God is Sovereign[0] and Providential[0]over all kingdoms
a. God told Nebuchadnezzar the "most High (God) ruleth (rules) in the kingdom of men,
(Sovereign) (Dan.4:28-37 / Gen.11:1-9; 19:1-24; 20:1-3; Psa.24:1, Rom.9:15-20, Josh.6:27, Dan.4:28-35,
Ezra.1:1-4, Rom.13:1)
b. God gives "the kingdom of men" to whomsoever he will... (Providential) (Dan.4:28-35, 2Thes.2:1-9)
c. None (NO ONE) can stay (i.e. to strike in pieces, arrest, impale) his hand (Dan.2:44, Rev.11:15)
d. NO ONE can say unto him, What doest thou? ("What are you doing?") (Dan.4:35, Rom.9:20)
e. ALL the inhabitants of the earth are reputed (regarded) as nothing: and he doeth (does)
according to his will (Dan.1-4:28-37, Rom.9:14-21; 13:1-1, Psa.24:1)
2. God"sovereignly" used Nebuchadnezzar "according to his will" / Purpose(Dan.4:28-35)
a. It was God's sovereign will that the House of Judah should be removed from off the LAND[0]
"until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil
threescore and ten years." (70 years) (2Chron.36:21, Lev.25:1-7)
b. This is why Nebuchadnezzar (Babylon) was "set up"[0](Psa.24:1, Prov.21:1, Dan.2:21;4:28-35)
to physically removed the House of Judah from the LAND. (Jer.29:10-11, 2Chron.36:21)
c. What is the "significance" (gravity / importance) of THE LAND.
(1) The LAND was promised to the "SEED" of Abraham (Gen.12:1-2; 15:1-22, Gal.3:16)
(2) Paul writes, "Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises (i.e. LAND) made. He saith
not, And toseeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ." (Gal.3:16)
(3) It is no wonder that Abraham rejoiced to see CHRIST'S (MESSIAH's) day. (Dan.9:24-27,
John.1:1-14, 29-41; 8:56-58)
(4) Furthermore, Abraham looked beyond this LAND / REST (Heb.4:1-11) / SABBATH,
(a) David said there is a Sabbath rest / LAND still to come. "Again, he limiteth[0] a certain
day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice,
harden not your hearts. For if Jesus (Joshua)[0] had given them rest, then would he not
afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of
God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God
did from his. Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the
same example of unbelief. (Psa.95:7-11, Heb.4:1-11)
(b) .
(5) Abraham looked for a City (Jerusalem) whose builder and maker is God)[0]
(a) The Temple is the center of the city of Jerusalem (Deut.12:1-12, 1Chron.17:1-15; 22:19, 2Chron.5:1-14) Review: PHASE 2
(b) This land (rest / sabbath) foreshadows the conclusion of God's PURPOSE.
(c) The ultimate goal of entering the LAND is to arrive at Solomon's Temple
(Review: PHASE 2, Page.)
(6) In a better country. (Heb.11:8-16 12:18-22)
CONCLUSION: THE LAND is pictuing God's Purpose. To destroy this is the come against God
Don't voilate His patterns. What God was doing here with Nebuchadnezzar was being consistent
with His overall Redemptive purpose IN THE MIDST OF THE CAPTIVITY of Babylon w
(2) In the Book of Daniel. some came against the daily sacrifice. this was an assalt on God in heaven. (to heaven itself Heb.9:23-24)
(b) ,
(2) The Law was to points to CHRIST THE MESSIAH there would be peace / rest
(3) Daniel told Nebuchadnezzar that his dream was about the return of CHRIST THE MESSIAH
in the "latter days" (NOTE: CHRIST THE MESSIAH is the focus for each of Daniel's dreams and
visions.
b. Nebuchadnezzar was the instrument to fulfill HIS PURPOSE
(1)
(that was promised
to Abraham (Gen.12:1-2; 15:1-22, Exod.1:1-12:1-51, Deut.12:1-12, 1Chron.17:1-15, 2Chron.5:1-14)
a. Note: God's PURPOSE was the priority
(1) Because this line could not be broken because of covenant (Matt.1:1-17, Rom.9:5)
(2) Therefore God disciplined them using Nebuchadnezzar (Dan.1:1-7
b. A Summary of God's "will" concerning the children of Israel from their deliverance from
Egypt up to the House of Judah going into Babylonian captivity. (Review: PHASE 2)
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4) The House of Judah (Daniel's people), had neglected God's Law concerning the LAND
which needed to rest every 7th year. (Lev.25:1-7; 26:1-33, 2Chron.36:11-20)
b. Then the Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah[0] who prophesied (in agreement with the
written Word of God) that He (God) would bring desolation upon Jerusalem. (Jer.29:10-11,
2Chron.36:11-20)
c. This desolation would come with God "sovereighly" using Nebuchadnezzar
(1) This was not to eliminate them, but to discipline them (1Kings.11:1-39, Heb.12:5-11)
(2) God was remaining faithful to His promise of the woman's seed. (Heb.6:16-19, 2Tim.2:13)
They were preserved because of Covenant because of God Purpose to bring the genealogy (according to the flesh) through to Christ. (Gen.3:15-16, 1Kings.11:1-39, Matt.1:1-17, Luke.3:23-38,
Rom.5:10-22; 9:1-5, Phil.2:5-11, John.1:1-18)
(3) However the House of Judah was not faithful. (Review: Chart) Think of Ishmael / Esau Rom.9
(1) This example for our admonition (1Cor.10:1-11, Rom.15:4, 2Tim.3:16-17 / Matt.4:)
c. God (sovereignly) did this using Nebuchadnezzar because they would not correct themselves
(1) Why70years? (2Chron.36:21)
(a) For 490 years Daniel's people did not allow the LAND to rest every 7th year. (Lev.25:1-7)
(c) The Law (i.e. the school master to bring us to Christ / MessiahGal.3:24, Heb.9:1-10,
John.1:28-44) says, "every seventh year shall be a sabbath rest for the LAND. (Lev.25:1-7)
(NOTE: This also points to Heb.3:1-19; 4:1-10)
b. During this time of chastening (correction)[0]
(1) Daniel (who was taken into captivity with the House of Judah Dan.1:1-7) prophesied that the
House of Judah would be released. (Dan.9:1-27, NOTE:v.25)
(2) Seven weeks to restore and build Jerusalem (49 years)
(a) Now Israel can start counting to the Messiah / The Woman's seed
Gen.3:15-16 / Shiloh (Gen.49:8-10) / a prophet like unto me (Moses
Deut.18:16, Acts.3:22) / The Branch (Jer.33:15) / The Passover Lamb
(1Cor.5:7-8, 1Peter.1:18-19, Eph.3:1-12)JESUS (The WORD made flesh
John.1:1-18; v.41; 4:23-24)
(b) Up to this time Israel knew (Rom.10:19-21) to look for Messiah but
they could begin to count down to Messiah at the appointed time.
(c) God (sovereignly) took the kingdom of Media / Persia(The
Breast and armsDan.2:32; 36-39) that was hostile to the House of Judah
(Jews) to do according to His will. (i.e. to provide the countdown
to the Messiah. (Dan.9:25)
(d) God sovereignly "stirred up the spirit of Cyrus" to do according to His will
(e) Turned around an Empire to fulfill His purpose
(f) The street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. (Dan.9:24-26)
(3) And threescore and two weeks: (434 years)
(a) Greece (The Belly and thighs Dan.2)
(b) This period was waiting time for Messiah between the Old and New Testaments
(c) This was the Ram and He Goat Vision (Dan.8:1-) NOTE: Before the Cross
(d) The Vile person (Dan.11:1-35) NOTE: Before the Cross
(4) Messiah comes and minister's 3 1/2 years (Gospels) during the time of the 4thkingdom / ROME
(a) The Word made flesh (John.1:1-18, Gen.1:1, 1John.5:7-8)
-- THE WORD was called JESUS / Emanuel (God with us Matt.1:18-25)
-- Then at His water Baptism, the dove came anointed Him. Now He is called Jesus
Christ (the anointed one / MessiahJohn.1:28-41, Acts.10:38, Heb.1:9 / Psa.45:7)
(b) We know it was 3 1/2 years because He was on this earth for three Passover Feasts and
Daniel prophesied that Jesus / Messiah would be "cut off" in the "midst of the week"
which is 3 1/2 years. (Dan.9:27)
(5) THENJesus / Messiah was cut off but not for Himself (Isa.53:, 2Cor.5:21, Heb.10:1-25)
(a) We are still during the reign of the 4thkingdom / ROME / The two legs of Nebuchadnezzar's
dream. NOTE: It was Rabbis, Pharisees, Saduccees with the power of the 4thkingdom /
ROME that Crucified (cut off) Jesus / Messiah
(b) Jesus gave Himself to reconcile BOTH JEW and GENTILE (in other words "whosoever will"
(Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12) for His Church (Eph.5:21-33)
(1) Dan.2:1-9; 31-45
(2) Dan.8:1-13; 19-26
(3) Dan.8:14; 26-27
(4) Dan.7:1-28
(5) Dan.10:1-21; 11:1-45
3. Daniel interpreted that this sovereignty will continue until the "latter days" when a "stone cut out
of the mountain" / THE SECOND COMING OF MESSIAH (THE LORD JESUS CHRIST)
a. After the Babylonian Empire, Daniel prophesy's also true concerning Media-Persia, Greece,
the 4th kingdom
b. This will also be true concerning (the "legs, feet, toes"/ 4th kingdom / ROME)
c. Also true when God USES the reign of antichrist to fit His Purpose at the end of the "latter days"
When "the stone cut out of the mountain without hands" (Dan.2:45) /
The Second Coming of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST / MESSIAH. (Rev.13:7, Rom.13:1, 2Thes.2:11)
3. After placing Nebuchadnezzar as king of the Babylon Empire
4. While in captivity Daniel was reading towards to end of the 70 years of captivity which caused him to set
his face to seek the Lord because he realized that the House of Judah was about to be released
by the SAME SOVEREIGN hand of God that allowed them to go into captivity. (Dan.9:1-2)
5. It was during this time (70 year captivity) that Daniel received these dreams and visions
a. Interpreted Nebuchadnezzar's dream (Dan.2:1-45)
(1) Babylon, Media-Persia, Greece, and the dreadful 4th kingdom that will be combined in the
Latter days
(2) .
b. Vision of the "little Horn" out of those 10 last day kingdoms
c. The Ram and he goat vision - trying to destroy the geology
d. The Seventy Week
(c) While in captivity God gave Nebuchadnezzar a dream in "Latter day" kingdoms before
the Second Coming of MESISAH / JESUS.

NOTE: How God has removed the House of Judah (including Daniel) from the Land
using Nebuchadnezzar (Babylon / the head of gold). THEN gave Nebuchadnezzar a
Dream of His Sovereignty over the kingdoms of this world in the "latter days"

a. Cyrus
b. Nehemiah
c. Joseph in Egypt

_____________________________________________________________________________________________
a. Some Extra thoughts
1. .
2. REMEMBER: Daniel wanted to know more about the "latter days" (Dan.2:28; 12:4-13) but he was
told "shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end" (i.e. the latter days)
a. This dream is NOT the "whole matter" (Word[0] - Prov.18:13)
b. Neither is (Dan.7:1-25; 8:1-27; 9:24-27, 11:1-45; 12:1-13)
c. The "book"[0] needs to unsealed and reveal in the "latter days" (Dan.12:4) which is what John
saw (Rev.4:1-2; 5:1) The opening of the 1st Seal is the beginning of the order of events in the
Book of Revelation.
3. NOTE: The gap pictured by the legs reaching until the time of the end / consummation (Dan.9:27) /
When putting all the pieces together Daniel was seeing the Second Coming of MESSIAH, which now
know (Eph.3:5) to be THE LORD JESUS CHRIST / THE WORD MADE FLESH) THE FOCUS!!!!!!!!
3. Daniel ends with a sealed book (with questions Dan.12) and Revelation begins with a sealed book being opened by JESUS
1. God told Nebuchadnezzar that He (God) rules in the kingdoms of men, and giveth (gives) it to
whomsoever he will...and none (no one) can stay (stop) his hand, or say unto him, What doest
thou? (why are you doing this) (Dan.28-37) These kingdoms are NOT hindering or influencing
God's purpose, (NOTE: Pharaoh (Rom.9:15-21) and Cyrus (Ezra.1:1-4)
2. When God gave Daniel these prophetic pictures He was not forgetting His original PURPOSE
since the the beginning of the world.
a. God was preserving the House of Judah, even though they were in 70 years of captivity
b. Notice in these visions there are warnings to God's people not to get mixed up with the
kingdoms of this world (Not entangled with / mingled)
3. We MUST remember this dream of Nebuchadnezzar and the other visions the Daniel saw were
One BIG pictured / not double minded /
Looking at Book of Daniel and Revelation
4. This 4th kingdom (dreadful, terrible, strong exceedingly) "shall devour the whole earth." (Dan.7:23)
5. NOTE: The word "diverse" (Dan.7:23; 11:36-45)
6. Then 10 horns (kings) shall shall arise out of the "whole earth" that has been devoured (Dan.7:23)
7. And another shall arise out of the 10 (kings) (Dan.7:24)
a. .
b. .
8. God as made Him BOTH LORD and CHRIST (The Lord Jesus Christ
9. Whenever you see Christ (you are seeing MESSIAH | God the Word made flesh
10.
1. The first coming of the MESSIAH (He didn't know it would be JESUS the Word made flesh (Eph.3:5,
John.1:; 4:24)
2. The ministry of JESUS / MESSIAH
3. The Jews (Daniel's people) rejection of the MESSIAH
Daniel didn't know but he was seeing the Return of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST / THE MESSIAH that he prophecied about in
F. The two iron legs (Rome) with feet that have ten toes
"In the days of these kings (the two legs and ten toes) shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom,
which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in
pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou (you) sawest
(saw) that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the
brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to
pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure." (Dan.2:41-45)
1. In the days of these kings (the two legs and 10 toes)Dan.2:36-45
a. The "days of these kings" is the same as "latter days" (Dan.2:28)
b. This is expanded in Dan.7: 1-28
c. This is expanded inDan.9:1;27
d. This is expanded in Dan.11:36-45
NOTE: This is because all of Daniel's Visions and prophecies saying ONE THING

Forasmuch as thou (you) sawest (saw) that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and
that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made
known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation
thereof sure." (Dan.2:41-45)

In the last (latter) days preceding the return of Christ, Rome (the 4th kingdom from Babylon) will "devour
the whole world and tread it down, and break it in pieces" (Dan.7:23)
1. Then ten horns (are ten kings) shall arise from this 4th kingdom. (NOTE: This is the same 10 toes of
Nebuchadnezzar's dream. Dan.2:1-45)

3. This "horn" shall arise out of these 10 kings
4. This is A WARNING / ALERT / THE PURPOSE of Dan.2:337-45 not to get "entangled" with this World.

(REVIEW: PHASE 3)
4th kingdom "subdues the whole earth"
Daniel is
prophesying
here in the middle of the captivity. (Dan.9:1-2)
The Word of God is NOT bound. REMEMBER The House of Judah was being disciplined by God
Remember: ROME (the 4th kingdom / The legs of iron) was in power when the MESSIAH was revealed but it made no difference to God's Purpose! It was the "appointed time" for MESSIAH to be revealed.
SOVEREINITY OF GOD

FORMER DAYS LATTER DAYS
NOTE: God rules in each one of these kingdom's "and does according to his will...and none can stay [0]his hand, or say unto Him What doest thou?" (Dan.4:32-35)
with the context / focus on MESSIAH not the anti-messiah
The Redemptive Week (PHASE 3)
The MYSTERY of GOD / Daniel's people / Jews was to bring God's Redemptive Plan to CHRIST the CENTER PIECE / as concerning the flesh (woman's seed) Christ came CHRIST / THE MESSIAH / THE LAST ADAM came and reconciled both JEW (Daniel's people) and GENTILE as ONE MAN in HIMSELF in order to make THE LAST EVE / THE BRIDE. Then they will complete the purpose of Gen.1:26-31 WHAT DANIEL WAS SEEING is how GOD would bring the children of the flesh of Abraham to CHRIST / THE MESSIAH
IS COUNTING DOWN
NOTE: How God is setting up for the count down for the revealing of the MESSIAH
1. They knew MESSIAH
was coming, but
they did not know
when. Gen.-2Chron.
2. Judah's release
from Babylon gave
the "When" Dan.9
3. They could count
the number of years
from the restoration
of the City and
Sanctuary Dan.9:25
4. During this wait (the
silent period
between the Old and
New Testaments) was
the time of Greece
a the "little horn"
trying to destroy what
was foreshadowing
the coming of
Messiah
5. Dan.9 His revealing
6. His confirming the
Covenant Dan.9:27
7. Their rejection
and crucifixion (cut
off) Dan.9:26
8. Israel broken off
9. Overspreading Da.9
10. The antichrist to
deceive. Dan.7
11. JESUS / MESSIAH
Second Coming
destroying the
antichrist Dan.2
It was during the time of Media-Persia the House of Judah was released from captivity and were told to
Restore the City Jerusalem
which began count down
toMESSIAH(Dan.9:25-26)
Then there would be a
waiting for theMESSIAH.
(Dan.8:1-13 /20-25; 9:25)
Then there would be the
1st Coming ofMESSIAH.
MESSIAH "cut off"while "confirmingthe covenant
The Focus
is on Messiah. Not the kingdoms of this world
These (GENTILE) kingdoms of men think they are ruling, but God is fulfilling His PURPOSE. The kingdoms of this world have NO bearing on GOD'S PURPOSE!
