1. Revelation Part 3
Lesson 5a

2. Daniel 7:17-28
Daniel has a vision of 4 beasts but wants to understand the fourth beast
Beast has a kingdom, but different than the other 3
Beast devours the whole earth
This fourth kingdom has 10 kings
Horn comes up among the ten horns/kings
Rev. 17:11-12 The beast who once was, and now is not, is an 8th king…
This horn arises and does away with 3 of the 10. He becomes greater

3. Daniel 7:17-28 King/Beast speaks out against the Most High
Wages war with the saints, wearing them down
They are given into his hand for time, times and half a time.
Rev. 13:5-7 Beast persecutes the saints
After the time, times and half a time: the king/beast is judged – destroyed forever
Rev. 19:19-20
Saints receive the kingdom forever Rev. 20

4. Daniel 9:24-25 70 weeks decreed for Daniel’s people – Israel
Finish the transgression
Make an end of sin
Make atonement for iniquity
Bring in everlasting righteousness
Seal up/ both vision and prophecy
Anoint the/a most holy place
All of this has been fulfilled in Jesus (vs. 24)
From the decree to restore (Neh. 2)
Until Messiah the Prince 69 weeks

5. Daniel 9:26-27
All 69 weeks had gone by when Messiah the Prince – Jesus came
One week remains
Messiah/the Anointed One was cut off
Jerusalem and its Temple destroyed 70 A.D.
“The people of the prince who is to come” are the Romans
This prince makes a covenant, and then breaks it in the middle. 3 ½ 3 ½
He stops sacrifice and grain offerings

6. Daniel 9:26-27 There must be a temple
On the wing of abominations comes one who makes desolate
“Abomination of desolation” Matt. 24:15
The prince Daniel 9
The king Daniel 7
The beast Revelation
All the same

7. Daniel 11:36-12:13
This king describes a world ruler at the end, just like Daniel 7 and 9
The end. The appointed time.
This king exercises his authority and power
He exalts himself above every god
He speaks against the God of gods
He has a limited amount of time
He will be in Israel at the end time

8. Daniel 11:36-12:1-13
Edom, Moab and Ammon (modern day Jordan) escape him
The king of the South = Egypt
King of the North = Syria
He comes to an end and no one helps him
12:1 “At that time” the time of this king, Michael arises.
Michael is the angel of Israel and stands guard over them

9. Daniel 12
Time of great distress on Daniel’s people, Israel such as “has never occurred/has been since there was a nation”
Matt. 24:21 Great Tribulation
Those written in the book of life – rescued
According to the “man dressed in linen” the tribulation will last 3 ½ years
King of Daniel 7 Beast of Revelation 13
War is waged with the saints. Overpowered

10. Daniel 12 Many at that time: purged, purified and refined = rescued
The wicked, those who do not understand are NOT rescued
From the time of the abomination of desolation there are 1,290 days – 30 days longer than the 1,260 days in Revelation
Those who reach 1,335 days are blessed: another 45 days difference
Since Jesus’ coming ends the last 3 ½ years, the extra 75 days are within the 1,000 year reign of Revelation 20
