Episode notes
Beasts, Horns, And Divine Judgment
- Daniel's vision shows four beasts representing empires and horns representing kings with a final horn persecuting God's people.
- The horn fails after a limited time because the Ancient of Days judges and removes its power.
Son Of Man And Everlasting Rule
- The vision culminates with the Ancient of Days judging and the Son of Man receiving everlasting dominion.
- Tara-Leigh identifies the Son of Man as Jesus and connects this title to New Testament usage like Mark 14.
Two Ways To Read The Empires
- Daniel's beasts may parallel Nebuchadnezzar's statue dream, using different imagery to convey the same rise-and-fall of empires.
- Commentators debate whether the fourth empire is Greece or Rome and who the oppressive horn specifically represents.
