the Book of Daniel – Chapter 7-8, Episode 8

As the angel interprets Daniel’s vision of the four beasts, we examine the traditional understanding of the fourth kingdom as Rome, along with the symbolism of the ten horns and the rising “little horn.” Daniel’s next vision—the ram and the goat—introduces Antiochus Epiphanes, a pivotal figure in salvation history and a prototype of future persecution. The imagery culminates in striking parallels with the Beast from the Sea in Revelation, revealing a sweeping biblical theology of worldly power, spiritual opposition, and God’s ultimate sovereignty.
