The Medes were the inferior part of the Medes-Persia Empire. Regarding your second comment- I agree with you. It is the people of the saints of the most high who will get into heaven- those that accept Jesus and obey His commandments.

I do. But the Medes-Persia Empire conquered Babylon, but without firing a shot. The king, identified as Cyrus, made Darius, the king of the “inferior” part of the Medes-Persia Empire, to rule over Babylon.

I understand what you are saying, but please remember the Book of Daniel is not a history book that recounts the actors and events found in our history. God has specifically selected 4 and only 4 kingdoms out of the many to place His prophetic messages that pertain to His plan of salvation for...

Hope you do not mind if I jump in here... Unless I am mistaken, most interpreters agree the 4th kingdom beast began as pagan Rome. This was the kingdom that came after Greece and was in power at the end of the 70 weeks of years prophecy and when the Messiah arrived on the first day of the last...

Wow! That is certainly an interesting interpretation.

That is a terrific thought. And you are right, the 4th kingdom is quite different. It comes in as pagan Rome but around 476 AD it is no more- it is slain and its body is destroyed (7:11). This s is when pagan Rome ceases to be and will be replaced by papal Rome who is headed by the “little...

Well, we know the first is Babylon. The second is Medes-Persian since we are given the names of their kings. Chapter 8 is named by Gabriel as Greeece, and the only kingdom that comes after Greece (kingdom not anything but a kingdom) is pagan Rome who fits perfectly since they are the kingdom...

I understood you... all good... why is the 4 kingdoms more difficult?

Well, I agree with your first comment but not the second, since the last week of the 70 years prophecy brought forward the Messiah... nothing is or will ever be as important that His first coming. This was the week / time when He would sacrifice His life for the sin of all mankind and give us...

Well, I do believe that your interepretation is in line with "today's accepted interpretations." And that also throws much of th last week of the 70 weeks of years prophecy some 2000 years into the future from the time of the cross. But for me, the verses 9:24-27 speak of the restoration of the...

I agree with you that the 70 weeks of years prophecy is the key in Daniel. It is, or perhaps should be our focus and not in the 4 kingdoms, their kings and their conflicts. The entire timeline in Daniel, is from 606 BC (taken into captivity) to His second coming. However, it is these 70 weeks...

Davy, do you think there might be another interpretation that considers the “Stone”, the Messiah struck the feet of the image but did not destroy the entire image? Could 2:34 represent His first coming while 2:35 represents His second coming? This is what I have found in my study of Daniel...

That was very nice and true. Have you looked into 2:34?

Sleep tight, nighty night.

David, I am very sorry but I really do not believe you are interested in discussing or answering these questions in Chapter 2. Sorry!

Thank you very much. I can assure you that your interpretations are much more enlign with "today's accepted interpretations." Meaning, I would say that close to 99 % of folks believe the 10 are indeed powers that have yet to come and may relate to the EU. The other 9.99999% believe they...

Okay, then you might tell me what the Gospel of John is telling you about the questions I asked of you in Daniel Chapter 2... Thanks.

David, sorry, but you lost me....

Thanks! But it does seem to get much more complicated to unpack - at least for me it was. So, without putting words in your mouth, the 10 toes are also the 10 horns? When did they arrive and why? Didn't they exist within the 4th kingdom of pagan Rome, meaning they had to be in existence before...

Thanks,
