Daniel 7: 1-8 (combined with Revelation 7:1-8)
2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the
FOUR WINDS of the heaven
(GOD maketh His angels WINDS)strove upon the Great Sea
(upon the PEOPLES, AND NATIONS, AND MULTITUDES OF ALL TONGUES-GENTILE NATIONS-Gentile Kingdoms).
3 And
FOUR great BEASTS came up from the sea(four KINGDOMS came up from the Gentile nations), diverse one from another.
Revelation 7:1-8 (current time)
1...I saw
FOUR ANGELS standing on the four corners of the earth
(Israel), holding the
FOUR WINDS of the earth, that the WIND should not blow on the earth
(Israel), nor on the sea
(Gentile nations), nor on any tree
(the believers of the Churches of the Lord around the world).
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living GOD: and he cried with a loud voice to the FOUR ANGELS, to whom it was given to hurt the earth
(Israel) and the sea(
Gentile nations),
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth(Israel), neither the sea(Gentile nations), nor the trees(the believers of the Churches of the Lord around the world), till we have sealed the servants of our GOD
(Jewish servants of GOD) in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. 6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. 7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. 8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
Daniel 7:4-8
4 The first (BEAST, FIRST KINGDOM) was like a lion: Kingdom of Babylon
(70 years-Israel was captive)
5 And behold another BEAST, a second, like to a bear; Kingdom of Medo-Persia
(Israel is free of the captivity)
6 After this I beheld, and lo anothe
r(the 3rd BEAST),
like a leopard; Kingdom of Greece (Judea was deeply affected and due political changes, the people of Israel is used as an important piece and object of dispute between Ptolemies and Seleucids. The Seleucid kings were great supporters of Greek culture, so it left its mark on the Jewish people and their culture. Even the Hebrew Bible was translated into Greek, the so-called Septuagint.
7 After this I saw...and behold a fourth BEAST(fourth Kingdom-the Gentilic Roman Empire),
dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it:
and it was diverse from all the BEASTS(diverse of all the KINGDOMS) that were before it; and it had ten horns.
(it was diverse because there was/is no animal with these anomalous aspect or characteristics).
8 I considered the (10) horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn; (an eleventh horn, but a little one)
Revelation 13:1-2
13 And I stood upon the
SAND of the sea
(John was a Jewish citzen), and saw a BEAST rise up out of the sea
(rise up out of the Gentile nations), having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
What is the roots of this devilish Beast of sea? Here goes:
2 And the BEAST which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion Daniel 7:4-6) and the dragon(
the dragon mentioned in Revelation 13:11 and 12:verse 9) gave him(gave to the BEAST of sea) his Power, and his Seat /Throne (in Jerusalem, spiritually called Sodom and Egypt), and great Authority.
Verse 3: And one (1) of his (7) heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the BEAST.
4 And they (the world)worshipped the Dragon which gave power unto the BEAST(
unto the BEAST of sea):
and they worshipped the BEAST, saying, Who is like unto the BEAST? who is able to make war with him? (Michael is)
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. (1260 days-FIRST half of the week 70th, Daniel 9:24-27-the last week).
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against GOD, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven (Ephesians 1:3-8).
7 And it was given unto him to make WAR with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth
(people of Israel) shall worship him(2Thessalonians 2:11-12), whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
The Word0f GOD is from everlasting to everlasting, the Word is GOD, GOD Himself, GOD the Father , Father of my Lord JESUS Christ-the beginning and the ending, Self-executing, yeah, Self executable. -> John 1:18.
