Show Notes

Daniel 8 recounts another prophetic vision received by Daniel, set in the third year of King Belshazzar's reign. In this vision, Daniel finds himself in Susa, where he sees a ram with two horns, representing the kings of Media and Persia, being overpowered by a goat with a prominent horn, symbolizing the kingdom of Greece under Alexander the Great. The goat's horn breaks, symbolizing Alexander's untimely death, and four horns emerge, denoting the division of his empire among his generals. A small horn appears, growing exceedingly great and symbolizing a power that challenges the heavenly host and the truth itself. This power is identified as coming after the demise of the Greek empire. The vision concludes with a prediction of the sanctuary's cleansing after a period of transgression, pointing to a time of restoration. The angel Gabriel explains the vision to Daniel, emphasizing its relevance for the “time of the end,” leaving Daniel overwhelmed and exhausted by the experience.
