Seventy 'Sevens'

Scott Risley

Nehemiah 2:1-8

In the first year of Darius' reign, Daniel says that he was reading about how the prophet Jeremiah said that Jerusalem would stay destroyed for seventy years before it could be restored. God has given us predictive prophecy in his word especially related to his Son, Jesus. This study is one of the greatest prophecies predicting the coming of Jesus Christ as the Savior, what He would do and that He would be killed and it predicts it to the very year, 33AD. We'll do the math from evidence in Scripture as well as extra-biblical sources to see this.

Two More Beasts

Dennis McCallum

Luke 21:20-24

Daniel has another vision. This vision includes more beasts that represent the different nations that eventually took over Israel, but are these predictive prophecies still coming true today? This teaching will answer that question along with showing whether or not we can trust in the promises of God.

Two Remarkable Predictions

Conrad Hilario

Amos 9:14-15

God gives Daniel detailed predictions of future events, some of which have already come to pass, and others that are yet to be fulfilled in the end times. We see how God uses prophecy to show he is real, bolster our faith, and give us confidence in His written word.

The Four Beasts and The Little Horn

Scott Risley

Daniel 7:1-25

While Belshazzar was still king of Babylon, Daniel had "visions of the night", which he wrote down. He describes how he saw the four winds blowing on the ocean. Four different beasts come up from the sea; a lion, a bear, a leopard with four bird wings, and the fourth beast is the worst and most terrible with teeth made of iron. It also has ten horns from which one little horn pops up and knocks out three of the other horns. The little horn has human eyes and speaks arrogantly from its mouth. We will look at types, types of Christ, and the Antichrist.

The Old Testament Antichrist

James Rochford

Isaiah 11:11-12

Only God can tell us the future before it even happens. In Daniel we see God prophesy Antiochus Epiphanes IV as a foreshadowing of the end times antichrist. God validates who He is and gives undeniable evidence through prophecy. In Isaiah, we see God predict a historically unique event; the Jewish nation being regathered and put back in the land if Israel.

The Tale of the Beasts

Dennis McCallum

Revelation 17:8-11

Daniel has been given more visions for the future. This time the visions take the form of multiple beasts. This teaching covers the very interesting prophecy that applies both to Daniel's time and to the future.

Climax of Human History

Conrad Hilario

Revelation 17:9-12

God reveals to Daniel the future course of history, accurately predicting the Greek and Roman empires, as well as foretelling the events of the end of human history yet to come. When we trust in Jesus, we can have hope and security, even in the midst of such turbulent times.

The Ram, The Goat and The Small Horn

Scott Risley

Daniel 8:1-27

Non-biblical attempts to predict the future, including those of Nostradamus, have failed. The book of Daniel, however, contains multiple fulfilled prophecies, including the vision recorded in Daniel 8. In the third year of King Belshazzar's reign, Daniel sees a vision of a ram, a goat, and a small horn. The angel Gabriel visits Daniel and explains the vision to him. The ram represents the Medo-Persian empire united under Cyrus the Great. The goat represents the Greek empire under Alexander the Great. The small horn represents King Antiochus IV, the great persecutor of the Jews. Antiochus is also a type of the antichrist described in the book of Revelation.\r\n

The Final World Ruler

James Rochford

2 Thessalonians 2:4

In Daniel's prophetic vision in chapter seven we get a picture of the antichrist. He is going to come and rule for seven years on earth. During this time he will: be the single world ruler, be a powerful speaker, control the worlds finances, and persecute the people of God. He will gain his power by leading through misinformation and claiming to be God himself. The antichrist can come in any generation and will be identified by the number, "666". Believers can be comforted in knowing that God is ultimately in control and will one day return.
