  • Daniel 10-12

    Daniel 10-12
    Sep 13 2025
    Daniel 10-12Daniel 10–12 contains some of the most apocalyptic and prophetic material in the Old Testament, and it closely parallels themes found in Revelation and other New Testament apocalyptic passages. Here is a breakdown of key parallels between Daniel 10–12, the Book of Revelation, and other NT scriptures:1. Angelic Visitation and Spiritual WarfareDaniel 10:1–21* Daniel receives a vision after 21 days of fasting. An angel (possibly Gabriel) explains that he was delayed by the "prince of Persia" and assisted by Michael.Parallels:* Revelation 12:7–9: Michael and his angels fight the dragon (Satan) and his angels in heaven.* Ephesians 6:12: Paul speaks of wrestling not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.Key Themes:* Spiritual warfare behind geopolitical events* Angels and principalities interacting in unseen realms2. The Vision of Future Conflicts (Kings of the North and South)Daniel 11* A detailed prophecy of wars between northern and southern kingdoms (interpreted historically as Seleucids and Ptolemies, and typologically as ongoing conflicts leading to the Antichrist).Daniel 11:30 “For warships from western coastlands will scare him off, and he will withdraw and return home. But he will vent his anger against the people of the holy covenant and reward those who forsake the covenant.”"Kittim" (Hebrew: כִּתִּים) is an ancient term used to describe western maritime powers.It originally referred to Cyprus, but later also came to symbolize western regions, especially the Mediterranean seafaring powers—and by the time of Daniel, often Rome. The king's frustration turns toward the holy covenant — usually interpreted as the Jewish faith and people in Daniel’s time. He lashes out by persecuting the faithful.Ships of Kittim today—US., EU, NATO, or Western powersThe King/Leader—A rising Middle Eastern, Eurasian, or globalist figure (Antichrist-type)Holy Covenant—Israel, or the covenant people (Jews/Christians)Reward those who forsake the covenant* Co-opting compromised religious leaders, politicians, or even nations who abandon biblical values for gain.* Forming alliances with apostate or secularized entities who undermine biblical truth, both within Israel and globally.Parallels:* Revelation 13: Rise of the beast from the sea (political power) and the beast from the earth (religious power).* Matthew 24:6–7: Jesus speaks of "wars and rumors of wars," aligning with Daniel's ongoing conflict theme.* Antichrist — a future world leader who:* Makes a deceptive peace with Israel (Daniel 9:27),* Breaks that covenant mid-way,* Persecutes the faithful.3. The Abomination of DesolationDaniel 11:31; Daniel 12:11* Reference to the stopping of daily sacrifices and the setting up of the "abomination that causes desolation."Parallels:* Matthew 24:15: Jesus references this exact phrase from Daniel, linking it to the end times.* 2 Thessalonians 2:3–4: Paul describes the "man of lawlessness" who sets himself up in God’s temple.* Revelation 13:14–15: The beast sets up an image to be worshiped under penalty of death.4. The Time of Great TribulationDaniel 12:1* "There shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been..."Parallels:* Matthew 24:21: Jesus: "Then there will be great tribulation..."* Revelation 7:14: "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation..."* Revelation 6–16: Series of judgments during the tribulation period5. Resurrection and Final JudgmentDaniel 12:2–3* Multitudes asleep in the dust will awake—some to everlasting life, others to shame.Parallels:* John 5:28–29: Jesus: "Those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned."* Revelation 20:11–15: Great white throne judgment; resurrection of the dead and final separation* 1 Corinthians 15:52: The resurrection at the last trumpet6. Sealed Book and Mystery of the EndDaniel 12:4, 9* Daniel is told to “seal up the words” until the time of the end.Parallels:* Revelation 5:1–5: A sealed scroll is presented; only the Lamb can open it.* Revelation 10:4: John is told not to write what the seven thunders said.* Revelation 22:10: Unlike Daniel, John is told not to seal the prophecy—“the time is near.” This is a public episode.

  • DANIEL 9

    DANIEL 9
    Sep 7 2025

    Daniel 9

    * "He" = Antichrist

    * The 70th week is a yet-future 7-year tribulation period.

    * Antichrist makes a false covenant with Israel, breaks it halfway through (3.5 years), and causes the "abomination of desolation."

    * This view often includes the Rapture, the rebuilding of the Temple, and the rise of a global leader.

    Aligns with Revelation (chapters 6–19) and Jesus' words in Matthew 24

    Key Themes and Connections:

    * Covenant: Daniel 9:27 begins with a deceptive peace treaty made by the Antichrist.

    * Abomination of Desolation: Central turning point — aligns with Jesus’ warning in Matthew 24:15.

    * 3.5 years + 3.5 years: Common division in both Daniel (9:27; 7:25; 12:7) and Revelation (11:2–3; 12:6; 13:5).

    * Global Leader: The Antichrist mirrors the Beast in Revelation 13.

    * Temple Rebuilt: Implied by need for sacrifices to be stopped (Dan. 9:27).
