THE FULFILLMENT OF DANIEL 8, Part 1 of 2
After I believed in Jesus the Holy Spirit led me to study only the scriptures and wait for the Holy Spirit to give me insight into the scriptures I didn’t understand. One day after I read Dan 8, while I was watching the news about the Persian Gulf War Jesus revealed to me that this war was part of the fulfillment of Daniel 8. Shortly afterwards, Jesus revealed to me that the Iran Iraq war, which began in 1980, marked the beginning of the vision found in Daniel 8.
According to Dan 8:3 and 20 Daniel saw a ram with two horns and that the longer of the two horns came up last. The angel told Daniel in verse 20 below that the two horns represented the kings of Media and Persia. Jesus revealed to me that the fulfillment of the first horn to arise was Ayatollah Komeini of Iran or Persia. The second longer horn that came up last was Saddam Hussein of Iraq or Media.
Dan. 8:3 Then I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a ram which had two horns was standing in front of the canal. Now the two horns were long, but one was longer than the other, with the longer one coming up last.
Dan 8:20 "The ram which you saw with the two horns represents the kings of Media and Persia.
According to Daniel 8:4 Daniel saw the two horns butting northward, southward and westward and there was no nation around them that could stop them. During the war the ram butted northward when Saddam put down the rebellious Kurds in the north several times. The ram initially butted southward when Ayatollah Komeini and Saddam Hussein sank oil tankers destined for Saudi Arabia. During one of these missions King Fahd of Saudi Arabia shot down one of Ayatollah Komeini’s planes. The ram also butted southward when Ayatollah Komeini sent a suicide truck bomber into Kuwait. The ram butted westward when Saddam Hussein began launching Scud missiles into Israel after the Iran Iraq War ended and the Persian Gulf War started.
Dan 8:4 I saw the ram butting westward, northward, and southward, and no other beasts could stand before him, nor was there anyone to rescue from his power; but he did as he pleased and magnified himself.
When Saddam Hussein and Ayatollah Khomeini began shooting missiles into each others populated cities the UN stepped in and put and end to the Iran Iraq War in 1988.
Then, in August of 1990 the ram butted southward again when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait.
Then, according to Dan 8:5 Daniel saw a Shaggy goat, which Jesus revealed to me was the USA, coming from the west, covering the whole earth, which symbolized that the entire world was outraged at Saddam Hussein for invading Kuwait and supported the US led 34 nation coalition that formed to drive Saddam out of Kuwait. Daniel saw the Shaggy goat coming without touching the ground, which symbolized the 99% of the Persian Gulf War that took place through the air. The remainder of the time was spent processing the Iraqi soldiers that surrendered because of the bombing campaigns and pinpoint missile attacks. The large conspicuous horn between the Shaggy goats eyes symbolized Saudi Arabia, which was depicted as conspicuous because everyone wondered why the Muslim nation of Saudi Arabia allowed the USA, a nonMuslim nation, to help them defend themselves against a fellow Muslim nation, Iraq.
Dan 8:5 While I was observing, behold, a male goat was coming from the west over the surface of the whole earth without touching the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.
According to Dan 8:21 the Shaggy goat was also referred to as the Kingdom of Greece.
Dan 8:21 "And the shaggy goat represents the kingdom of Greece, and the large horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
The USA was symbolically called the Kingdom Greece in Dan 8:21 because it followed the same historical pattern as occurred in Greece after Daniel saw the vision in 559 BC. At the time Daniel saw this vision the Greeks were becoming tired of being ruled by corrupt and oppressive kings and in 506 BC they formed a Democracy. The USA started in a similar way. The Christians were tired of being ruled over by oppressive kings who would not allow them practice Christianity the way they wanted to so they left Europe and sailed to North American and formed a Democracy. After the Greeks formed a Democracy the Democratic city states loosely joined together and threw off their Persian overlords. In the same way, the 13 colonies in North America joined together and threw off their British overlords in the Revolutionary War. After the Greeks threw the Persians out they entered into the 50 years Golden Age of Greece. In the same way, after the 13 colonies drove the British out the US entered into a golden age. Then, just as humanism crept into Greece during its golden age humanism entered into the USA after the British were driven out. At the end of the Golden Age in Greece democracy was overthrown. In the same way, the Socialists in the Democratic Party and the RINOs are in the process of overthrowing democracy in the USA.
Dan. 8:6-7 depicts the Persian Gulf when it tells us that Daniel saw the Shaggy goat with the large conspicuous horn come up along side the ram with the two and was enraged at the ram and there was nothing that the ram could do and the ram was thrown down in violence.
Dan 8:6 And he came up to the ram that had the two horns, which I had seen standing in front of the canal, and rushed at him in his mighty wrath. 7 And I saw him come beside the ram, and he was enraged at him; and he struck the ram and shattered his two horns, and the ram had no strength to withstand him. So he hurled him to the ground and trampled on him, and there was none to rescue the ram from his power.
In order for Persian Gulf War to qualify as the fulfillment of Dan. 8:6 and 7, Iran had to take part in the Persian Gulf War, because Daniel saw the Shaggy goat come up along side the ram with the two horns. Ayatollah Komeini of Iran took part in the Persian Gulf War when he agreed to supply Saddam Hussein in the event that an embargo was enforced against Iraq and he allowed Iraqi private, commercial and military jets to take refuge in Iran when the Persian Gulf War started. Also, when the USA began bombing Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, Ayatollah Komeini called for suicide terrorist acts against all Americans in the Middle East.
According to Dan 8:8 and 22 Daniel saw that after the war, while the Shaggy goat magnified itself, which was fulfilled by President George Bush Sr. when he held victory parades throughout the USA and he went on a Middle East victory tour, the large conspicuous horn, which I said was Saudi Arabia once already, broke without the authority of the king of that nation and four conspicuous horns or kingdoms began growing towards the four winds of heaven. Jesus did not give me the names of the four horns, but He did reveal to me that they were the conspicuous Muslim kingdoms that began growing throughout the earth after the Persian Gulf War. Based on this revelation I was able to figure out that the horn that broke in the vision was fulfilled by Osama bin Laden, who is from Saudi Arabia, when he revolted against King Fahd for not allowing his Muslim militia to defend Saudi Arabia against Saddam Hussein of Iraq, and without the authority of King Fahd, the four conspicuous Muslim terrorist kingdoms began growing towards the four winds of heaven. As far as I can tell from my research these four kingdoms include al-Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and Hezbollah.
Dan 8:8 Then the male goat magnified himself exceedingly. But as soon as he was mighty, the large horn was broken; and in its place there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven.
Dan 8:22 "And the broken horn and the four horns that arose in its place represent four kingdoms which will arise from his nation, although not with his power.
