This dream is extremely relevant to us today, because it refers to current events, namely, current empires that will face Jesus Christ at Armageddon. This chapter contains the accounts about the woman, the dragon, and the.Daniel 7:1-28 contains the account of a dream that Daniel the prophet had. The first reference to eagles states that the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt on eagles wings 27 , the last reference in the Bible to eagles also appears to be Israel being rescued from persecution using the wings of an eagle.Revelation 12 is the twelfth chapter of the Book of Revelation or the Apocalypse of John in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. Reading the thirtytwo verses in the Bible that mention the eagle tends to confirm that which the statistics show however a number of interesting things can be noted.
Are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues," Revelation 17:15.The dragon is angry and makes war against the faithful Christians of earth. "The waters which thou sawest. These winds correspond to the FOUR HORSEMEN of Revelation 6 and Zechariah 6:5, "These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth." The great sea represents the human masses in the last days. The first thing he saw was FOUR WINDS striving on the great sea. He wrote it down and told what he saw. Soon after Belshazzar came to power in Babylon, Daniel dreamed a very disturbing dream.
A Four-headed Leopard with wings of a fowlThe Four Beasts of Daniel 7 - What they CANNOT represent.The vast majority of all Bible commentaries and teaching material will tell you that the Four Beasts in Daniel's dream are the same four empires that are mentioned in Nebuchadnezzars statue: namely, Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome. But first, let us consider what the Four Beasts are.3. Consequently, it is worthless to interpret these verses using ANCIENT KINGDOMS THAT NO LONGER EXIST!Daniel dreamed of four great kingdoms that necessarily EXIST ON EARTH at the time of the Second Coming of Jesus.Daniel 7:3 - "Four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another."We will get into the specific details of the identity of the Four Beasts later. But the SAINTS of the MOST HIGH shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever."The event referred to in that verse is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ with all His saints to the Battle of Armageddon, where He will finally conquer all kings and kingdoms and set up HIS KINGDOM for 1000 years on earth - the "Millennial Kingdom of Christ," as some call it.Therefore, the TIME-FRAME in which Daniel's Four Beasts appear MUST BE the LAST DAYS immediately before the Second Coming of Jesus. Grieved and troubled, Daniel asked for "the truth of all this." "These great beasts, which are four, are FOUR KINGS, which shall arise out of the earth.
(7:12)"It is perfectly clear that the Fourth Beast is a modern kingdom in power when Jesus comes, because the "little horn" on that beast, "made war with the saints, and prevailed against them 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 7:21-22.It proves that Jesus Christ will NOT confront ancient Babylon, ancient Persia, ancient Greece, or ancient Rome at His coming.He will confront EXISTING MODERN NATIONS at Armageddon.These PROPHECIES absolutely MUST refer to MODERN NATIONS.These nations will be stripped of their powers at Armageddon, yet they will continue to exist, "their lives were prolonged for a season and time." That could NOT be true if the LION is ancient Babylon, or if the BEAR is ancient Persia, or if the LEOPARD is ancient Greece, or if the DREADFUL BEAST is ancient Rome.1. Here is why:At Armageddon, Daniel saw that the OTHER THREE BEASTS "had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. The earlier empires had already passed from the scene.But ALL FOUR of Daniel's Four Beasts are said to be IN POWER - IN EXISTENCE - when Jesus returns!These Four Beasts CANNOT be the ancient kingdoms of Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome - as most Bible commentators and teachers assert. The Babylonian Empire was conquered by Persia, which was conquered by Alexander the Great and the Grecians, which was conquered by Rome.In the end of Nebuchadnezzar's imagery, ONLY the IRON AND CLAY FEET were crushed by a Rock, symbolizing JESUS CHRIST at Armageddon. From one empire to the next, they were SUCCESSIVE empires - they followed one another. It would have been IMPOSSIBLE to identify these nations as we now can, as recently as one century ago!Most so-called prophecy teachers will tell you that Daniel's beasts represent the same nations depicted in the great STATUE OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR.That interpretation cannot possibly be accurate, and here is why:In Nebuchadnezzar's dream, each level of the great statue represented an empire.
Now there have been many nations that have utilized the lion as a symbol. The prophecies can only be true if these nations can be identified at the time of the coming of Jesus Christ for the Battle of Armageddon.Daniel 7:4 - "The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it."Again, the million-dollar question is this: "Where is a modern empire symbolized by a lion?" Here is the answer: Great Britain. We must identify a MODERN GLOBAL government that fits the description of the DREADFUL BEAST.We MUST identify these Four Beasts in modern times. We must identify a MODERN nation symbolized by a LEOPARD.5. We must identify a MODERN nation symbolized by a BEAR.4. We must identify a MODERN nation symbolized by an EAGLE.3.
A lion is also used as a symbol on the non-ceremonial flag of the British Army.What about the eagle's wings that were plucked?Again, there are few symbols more easily recognizable in the world today than the American Eagle. The lion symbol is depicted behind Britannia on the British fifty pence coin and a lion is shown crowned on the back of the British ten pence coin. Another British symbol, lady "Britannia," is depicted riding the back of a lion. It also appears on several national emblems and flags. It has appeared on the Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom since King James VI of Scotland ascended to the English throne in 1603. In recent memory, it could be said that "the sun never sets on the British Empire." The British Lion is universally recognized.
It was the founding document of what is arguably the greatest nation that ever existed! And Daniel saw it!After the wings of the eagle were plucked from the British Lion, "it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it," Daniel 7:4. TWO-THOUSAND FIVE-HUNDRED YEARS AGO, the prophet Daniel envisioned the Declaration of Independence, which any educated person knows is one of the most important documents ever written in the history of mankind. But IT WAS PLUCKED UP from the British Empire when the citizens of the thirteen original American colonies wrote and signed The Declaration of Independence in 1776, declaring their independence and BREAKING AWAY FROM the British Crown - King George III.Herein is a most wonderful fulfillment of ancient Bible prophecies. The United States of America was originally a colonial territory of Great Britain.
Coincidentally, the NAME of the President elected in 2008, Medvedev, is a form of a word meaning "bear."So there is no doubt whatsoever. A bear is the symbol of the United Russia Party, which is a major force in Russian politics. A bear named "Misha" was Russia’s mascot at the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games.
Roosevelt, President of the United States.The Yalta Conference - 1945 - at the close of WWII"…it raised up itself on one side, …and THEY SAID thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh," Daniel 7:5. Joseph Stalin, Czar of Russia, met with Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of Britain, and Franklin D. It was the meeting of the world’s three most powerful nations in YALTA – on the SOUTHERN-MOST SIDE of RUSSIA. THIS EVENT WAS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS IN MODERN HISTORY.
