(they only count years of reign by full years)
Daniels interpretation 1st Neb./Gold/Babylon, 2 nd Silver/Medo-Persia, 3rd Brass/Greece, 4th Iron/Rome
Parallel passage Rev. 17:10 & 19:20

AFTER THE 70 YEARS ARE FILLED UP CHAPTER FIVE
536 BC is the Handwriting on Belshazzar the wall and the fall of Babylon the end of the 70 year
captivity.
Daniel (third in command after the King) interprets the meaning of this Handwriting: Babylon is to be
taken over by Medes & Persia

13

536 - 537 BC CHAPTER SIX

Kings law and only cared about what God wanted.
Daniel and the Lions Den because of the new law made. He was restored to the original honor in the
kingdom after he survived the Lions Den. He was one of 3 Presidents.
Daniel is about 85 years old
551 BC CHAPTER SEVEN
The Vision is the first year of Belshazzar Reign, Daniel had a dream, he sees only the first four beasts not
5-7 beasts.
V2 the 4 winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea = universal strife among the nations allowed by the
spirit of God.
V4. Of the 4 Wild Beasts: Compare with the parallel passage Rev 13
#3 Lion had wings like an eagle, Babylon (Neb goes insane and is on all 4s then lifted up to stand like a
man.
#4 Bear, (raises up on one side) power is from Persia Has 3 ribs = 3 possibilities they had to dominate to
come to full power are: 1. Egypt, Assyria or Babylon or 2. Babylon, Egypt, Ninivah or 3. Chaldea, Elam
& Assyria
#5Leopard, Greece has 4 heads, 4 divisions of the Greek empire is given dominion after Alexander the
Great died. See Rev 13:2
#6 Indescribable Beast : = Rome with Teeth of iron:
Nails of Brass = Greece
Feet = Anti Christ Kingdom
v 9-10. Ancient of Days = Jesus, YHWH Christ is the Ancient of Days in Rev 1 we are coheirs with Him.
v 12. The empires are taken away after Daniel, Rev 13:2 this is the fulfillment of the phrase the
institutions & cultures are perpetuated in the Anti X Kingdom.
V 13-14 pp is Rev 2:26-27
(The other empires that Daniel did not see are: #1 Egypt, #2 Assyria & #7 is the Anti Christ)
v 18. These 4 beasts wont rule forever, Gods Kingdom will.
V20. 10 horns Rev 17:12 10 kings with no kingdom receive power for 1 hour with the Beast (7 headed
beast at that time) (10 horns in the 7 th head)
v 23. 2 fulfillment = in Rome and the Anti Christ System
v24a = Anti Christ 24b = after 42 months are over.
V 25a Rev 13:5&7 v25b 42 month tribulation Rev 13:5, 12:6 & 14
v 26 destruction of the Anti Christ at the 2 nd Coming Rev 19:20
v 27. Manchild co. Resurrected & out translated, those coming in the tribulation (martyrs) also & 144,000
Because of the things hidden from his people- that it was more than Rome. Its hard for us now even with
all the history they could have known more and made it God wont give more light than they could
handle- God knows how much they can bear. God didnt show the 6 th beast. In Rev. 5 are fallen, 1 is, & 1
is yet to come.
549 BC CHAPTER EIGHT: The vision of the Goat & the Ram
Third year of Belshazzars Reign in Babylon. Elam is Persia in the vision of Shusham.
Vision of the Goat & the Ram:
Goat/Alexander the Great is the King of Greece, conquered Persia in 331 killed Darius III
Ram with 2 horns/Medes &Persians. One horn is higher than the other one for Mede the other for Persia.
V 5. He Goat with a horn between the eyes = Alexander the Great 330-331 BC (died in 323 BC)
A rough Goat = King of Greecia
v 9-14 Anti Christ
v 20 2 horns = Median & Persian Kings
v8 &22. 4 Kingdoms/ Nations =
Macedonian mainland = Greece
Asia Minor
14
536-537 BC CHAPTER NINE Verses 24-27 Refer to the vision of the 70 weeks of Daniel
First year of the reign of King Darius (Mede) Co-King with King Cyrus of Persia.
Lions Den
Daniels Prayer before the vision of the 70 weeks.
Vision of 70 Weeks
606 BC Daniel taken captive for 70 literal years to 536 BC. (Dates are not positive)
v4-23 Remember Chapter 7
v24-27 Thy people = Jews are the fulfillment of this Prophesy. It shows the Messiah cut off in the midst of
the week.
And upon thy Holy City = Jerusalem
to finish the transgression = to stop the transgression of the law. The sin was great but greater when they
crucified Christ.
Everlasting Righteousness = Kingdom of God on Earth
To seal up the vision & prophesy = implies over 490 years. Christ has to open it up
Anoint the most Holy = Christ as Messiah
70 weeks = 70 weeks of 360 day, years
This was upon Daniels people & Jerusalems transgression of the Sabbatical Law. Leviticus 25:3-5 The
law to leave the land fallow for a year once every 7 years. And it was to be fallow for 2 years in a row at
15
the Jubilee year. They were 70 years in arrears. They owed 70 weeks of years to God. It starts at 536 BC
and ends at the Crucifixion of Christ.
In 536 BC The Prophesy has started to be fulfilled. King Cyrus of Persia commanded them to rebuild
Jerusalem. (See Nehemiah and Ezra for the rebuilding of the Temple wall (It took 53 days) in Jerusalem.)
It took 7 weeks = time to rebuild the Temple (literal) 49 years.
It was 62 weeks until Jesus was baptized in the River Jordan and crucified in the middle of the 70 th week.
Titus the Roman Emperor destroyed the Sanctuary and the city in 70 AD after the Messiah was cut off.
V27a 70th week Christ was confirming the covenant with the nation of Israel. In the middle of the week
causes the sacrifice to cease. The veil was rent in the Sanctuary and a great earthquake, darkness over the
land etc
v27b The sacrifice of animals was kept on, in the Temple after Christ was sacrificed = abomination to
God. Jesus Christ was a one time sacrifice for all. See Hebrews.
v27c The city was left desolate. This is = the end of this prophesy. In the end time the 144,000 will
confess the covenant is for them and ask for the forgiveness of their sin.
Jesus Christ the Messiah will confirm the covenant.
People = Romans
Prince = Titus
The Reason for the Prophesy is Sin.
Why were they in Babylon for 70 Years? They neglected the Law of Lev. 25:3-5 for 490 years, a total of
70 years of Sabbath Years owed to God. From approximentally 1096BC to 606BC they neglected the law.
They were evicted from their land for 70 years and sent to Babylon. They could have had the Millennium
when they decided in stead to crucify Christ. Their sins will not be covered again until they accept Christ
as their Messiah.

(70 weeks of years)
(10 weeks of years)
7 weeks = 62 weeks = 69 weeks This leaves 1 week short, to make the 70 weeks needed. This is the week
that is yet to be dealt with in the Great Tribulation. In verse 27 He will confirm the Covenant with many
for 1 week. The Covenant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This is the Covenant that the Jews will rule over
the earth. Christs ministry was 3 years. 3 + 3 = 7
of 7 years is 3 Christs ministry
was cut off and He has 3 years still coming to Him.
v 26 After three score and two weeks = 62 weeks, He will be cut off. Messiah cut off = Crucifixion.
The Jews sewed up the rent veil and continued the unnecessary lamb sacrifices, this was an abomination
to God. The Apostles preached it over and over but they did not hear it and kept up the sacrifices until the
Temple was destroyed.
Desolate, until the consummation =final wrap up of the ages, after the 70 weeks of years, it is still a
desolate city with out a Temple.
Pour out suffering upon the desolate = it could be repenting before the 2 nd Coming.
The 2nd half of the 70 weeks of Daniel is what never got done by the Messiah yet. The 3 years has to
happen before the 2nd Coming. We are still in the 62 weeks of time for them to get their heart right with
God when the Messiah came. They had the Temple for 7 weeks of years or 49 years, but they were not
faithful to the Temple and all its meanings. Remember 70 weeks is Hebrew, English is 490 years. Hebrew
is Christ was cut off in the midst of His week. We in English say 3 years of time. So in English 3
years is in Hebrew a week.

After the time of the Gentiles, the Rapture, the Martyrs are gone only the Israelites are left on earth, this is
the fulfillment of the last 3 years that were cut off from Christs ministry and God will deal with Israel
then the 144,000 will go and then will be the 2 nd Coming. God deals with Israel for the 3 years, to
confirm the covenant. Or say, for the last of the 70 th week to confirm the covenant. Israel was looking
for a Messiah to rule the world, but He was cut off half way through His ministry. The 3 years just
before the 2nd Coming will be the second half that He never got to finish to confirm the covenant with the
Jews or 144,000. He will rule the earth at the 2 nd Coming. He is confirming the covenant with the
144,000 when He is raining down plagues on the earth.
We have:
Bride
Martyrs
144,000
who are co heirs, think of them as children of God with different mothers, but all are heirs of His. God is
giving rewards to his heirs, in the analogy of the Mortgagee Scroll. The Resurrection of the Martyrs
happens before the 6th Seal, the Sealing of the 144,000 is after the 6 th and before the 7th Seal. (7th Seal is
the 7 Plagues)
533 BC CHAPTER TEN THROUGH TWELVE
Third year of King Cyrus the King over Persia and same time as King Darius of Babylon
Visions of:
Ancient of Days
Ptolemys & Seleucus (2 kingdoms of Egypt &Greece)
Antiochus of Ephephanis
Anti Christ
Chapter 10 of Daniel:
Takes place in the third year of that empire of the Medes and the Persians.
River Hiddekel = Tigrus River
This vision is a parallel with Rev 1.
Daniel saw YHWH-JESUS
Alone when saw the vision
17
touched by God,
told fear not
v 16 Same as Ezk 6
v 21 inscribed in the writing of truth = Prophets of Ezk, Jer, & Isaiah and the things Daniel had already
seen.
Chapter 11 of Daniel
The Voice of the same manifestation In the first year of King Darius the Mede and Chapter 6 of Daniel are
the same year.
V2 Yet = Yet before the prince of Greece shall come
There were 14 Persian Kings here we are only talking of 4 of them involved with the He Goat stamping
on the Ram (Greece):
Cyrus the son of:
1. Cambyses 529-522 BC
2. Smerdis
522 BC
3. Darius I
521-486 BC
4. Xerxes I 486-465 BC (probably the husband of Esther in the book of Esther)
Xerxes I was far richer than the others.
Treasure used in an army
2,500,000 Army
207 Large Ships
3000 Small Ships
Stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
V3 Alexander the Great from Macedonia was born 356 BC his father was Philip. Alexander the Great
died 323 BC at 32 years of age.
Notable Horn = refers to Alexander the Great
Ram = Persia
He Goat = Greece
v4 4 directions = North, South, East & West
4 dominions of Alexander the Great
4 divisions =
1. Babylon & North Syria
< Antigonus Selucus took it
2. Egypt
<was held by Ptolomy I
3. Macedonia (w. Greece) <Cassander the General of Alex. And lost to Demetrieus Antegemus
4. North Part of Assyria
<Alysiamachus lost part to Seleucus and other Kings other than armies of
Alexander
Far East = Babylonia
Both of Alexander the Great sons were killed. They were Hercules and Alexander so no heirs to claim his
throne.
V5 Ptolomy I 322-283 BC reigning
v6 Kings of the North join with Kings of the South
v10. Whos son? Sons of the Kings of the North. = Antiochus III was a grandson. He attacked Egypt in
219 BC.
V11. King of the South = Ptolomy IV 222-203 BC Was attacked by Antiochus III in 217 BC
V12. Another battle Antiochus III defeats Egypt in 198 BC Selucids control of Israel -so fixed with
Northern King Ptolomy V was just a child when Antiochus III attacked.
V14 Applies to Israel siding with Antiochus III
V15 King of the North = Antiochus III
Arms of the South = General of Egypt = Scopas surrender at the city of Sydon.
V16 Antiochus III against Ptolomy V
Glorious land = Israel conquered by Antiochus III
v 17 Antiochus III shall set his face, daughter of women promised younger daughter to Ptolomy V at 7
years it happened at 12 years. Her name is Cleopatra, (many were named this name) sides with Ptolomy
not her father Antiochus III.
18
V18 turn face to isle = Antiochus III aligned with Hannibal of Cartage and invaded Greece
Isles = Greece
v18b Prince for own behalf, Rome & Roman envoy = Alusus Skipo Asasicus
Hannibal & Antiochus invade Greece. Rome is desperate. So Rome stepped in, Rome is protecting Greece.
190 BC fight over Rome held more than before the Greek invasion. So stopped Antiochus III and
Hannibal. Antiochus III stumbles and falls and then dies in 187 BC.
V 19 Seleucus IV 190- 175 BC next in line destroyed
v20 Raising the taxes by Helodous
Seleucus IV assasenated by Helodoris the Tax Collector
v21 Seleucus IV had a son. He was a political hostage in Caesars Palace in Rome. Thus raising him in
Roman court. Antiochus IV is living in Athens. Pulling strings with Rome to put him on the throne of
Rome. He wasnt in line, true Heir was held hostage in Rome.
V21-30 Antiochus of Epiphanies is also parallel to the AntiChrist
v21 peaceably
v22 arm of flood, broken, Prince of Covenant.
Prince of Covenant = High Priest was in Israel at that time in Jerusalem, & = Christ
So Christ against the Anti Christ but Christ is not conquered by the Anti Christ. Anti Christ takes over
the glory of the Prince of the Covenant. Or Govern Leader over the political nation of Israel.
History of the Prince of the Covenant: Onias was the High Priest. Jason built a gymn in Jerusalem
(Greek Culture) Jason became the High Priest and sent his brother to pay Antiochus, but the brother
bought it from Antiochus.
V 22 double application here: Hope for more light later. (Wording is difficult here)
v23 Antiochus IV (Epiphanies) in Rome, there are few supporters in Rome, Hired killers to kill Helodous
the Tax Collector. Epiphanies = Illusterous or manifestation = blasphemy
Connection with 10 horns then Anti Christ will rise up.
V24 enter peaceably
v25 170 BC Antiochus IV attacked Egypt while Ptolomy VI was an infant King. 181-146 BC
Egypt vassal empire 170-168 BC In 168 BC Egypt rebelled The King of the South stirred up to battle
and court & counselors.
V26-28 170-168 BC is when it happens, returns and come toward the South. Antiochus IV in 168 when
Egypt rebelled.
V29 wont be like other battles
v30 Chittim = Cyprus navy at Roman disposal or Roman navy at Cyprus. Laeonus sent by Roman Gov. to
Athens was living in Athens were old friends of Antiochus when he lived in Athens. Antiochus grieved
and returned to his own land. The Roman side, improved again.
V 30b back to Israel, more immigrated to the Israel religion - they wanted to push the Greek Culture
more.
They needed the strength of the Jewish religion in the future battles. They broke down a lot of them and
they ate unclean meats and sacrificed meat to idols. Many were martyred
v31-34 equal application to Antiochus and the Anti Christ.
Arms stand on his part is possibly an illusion to the Anti Christ. Or to his army and the backslidden ones
out of the covenant stand on his side & pollute his strength.
Sanctuary = Temple of Jews, stopped the daily sacrifice =refers to Anti Christ
v32 Apostasy of the faith, = both Antioch and the Anti Christ
exploits by Antiochus and also by martyrs of the Tribulation.
V33 double meaning
v34 clung with flatteries = Rev 11:1-2 The lukewarm Laodecians were cut off
Judas Macabean clung with flatteries too exploits by martyrs
v 35 end time prophesy as well as what Antiochus Epiphanies
Anti Christ Dan 8: 23-27 Applies to Anti Christ - Transgressions come to the full.
V36-45 = Anti Christ and are future terms from now on
v36 2 Thess 2:4; Rev 13:5; 2 Thess 2:7-8; Rev 13: 5
v 37 Prove the Anti Christ is a Jew and will be a homosexual 2 Thess 2:4
He will worship the power of military might Rev 13:4
v39-40 Possible to show things we dont know yet - possibly the Anti Christ will rise out of the East we do
not know and it is too far from us now. It may be after the Tribulation during the Plagues
v41 Glorious land of Israel
implies power over the World Bank

2 Thess 2:4
Rev 19:20
Daniel 12
v1 Jer 30:7 Jacobs Trouble

v10 Rev 22
v11 1,290 days abomination of desolation at Armageddon 2 Thess 2:4 Matt 24:15
back to 1,290 days to time daily Sacrifice is taken away
/______________________________________________________________________/
Daily
1,290 days
Abomination of
Sacrifice
42 months
Desolation = 2nd Coming
taken away
So 30 extra days could be a Calendar problem or Battle of Armageddon or out translated 30 days before
Mt. Zion. There is a 30-45 day overlap, reversal of Anti Christ government to the Millennium There is
also no Temple, possible establishment of the Temple Sacrifices.
Isa 28:14-22 is the Great Tribulation from Gods perspective.
