Episode notes
Four Beasts and a Horn
- Daniel's dream of four beasts represents four empires, the fourth being the most destructive.
- This beast with ten horns symbolizes kings, one of which will persecute God's people for 3.5 years, possibly symbolizing incompletion.
Son of Man
- The "Son of Man" figure who defeats the fourth beast and reigns eternally is Jesus.
- This title is Jesus' preferred self-reference in the Gospels.
Ram, Goat, and Destruction
- Daniel's vision of a ram and goat represents empires and their rulers, specifically Greece under Alexander the Great and a subsequent ruler (likely Antiochus IV).
- Antiochus IV will persecute God's people, desecrate the temple, but ultimately be destroyed by God.
