Daniel Chapter Seven:
2 Daniel said, "I saw in a vision by night, an behold, the four winds of heaven strove over the great sea."
3 And four great beasts came up out of the sea, different from each other.
4 The first was like a lion and had eagle's wings, then I looked till its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand upon two feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
5 And behold, a second beast which looks like a bear, and it raised itself on one side, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth, and it was told, "Arise, devour much flesh."
6 After this I looked, and lo another, like a leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back, and the beast had four heads, and dominion was given to it.
7 After this I saw in the night vision, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible and exceedingly strong, and it had great iron teeth, it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.
8 I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little horn, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots, and behold, in this horn were eyes like those of a man , and a mouth speaking great things.
9 As I was looking thrones were placed and one who was ancient of days took his seat, his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool, his throne was like the fiery flames, and its wheels as burning fire.
10 A stream of fire issued and came forth before him, a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousands stood before him, the court sat in judgment, and the books were open.

11 Because of the sound of the great words which the horn spoke I kept looking till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire.
12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
13 I saw in the night vision, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a Son of man, and he came to the ancient of days and was presented before him.
14 And to him was given dominion and glory and kingdom, that all people, nations and languages should serve him, his dominion is ever lasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed.
15 I Daniel, my spirit within me was anxious and the vision of my head troubled me.
16 I approached one of those who stood there and asked him the truth concerning all this, so he told me, and made known to me the interpretation of the things.
17 These four beasts are four kings who shall arise out of the earth.
18 But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and posses it forever and ever.
19 Then I wanted to know the truth about the fourth beast, which was different from all the rest, exceedingly dreadful and whose teeth were of iron, and his claws of copper, and which devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with its feet,
20 and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up and before which three of them fell, the horn which had eyes and a mouth that spoke great things, and which seemed greater than his fellows.
21 As I looked, this horn made war with the saints, and prevailed over them.
22 until the ancient of days came, and the judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came when the saints received the kingdom.

23 Thus he said, " As for the fourth beast, it shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be different from all other kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces."
24 As for the ten horns out of this kingdom, ten kings shall arise, and another shall arise after them, he shall be different from the former ones, and shall subdue three kings.
25 And he shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and laws, and they shall be given into his hands for a time, two times and half a time.
26 But the court shall sit in judgment, and his dominion shall be taken away, to be consumed and destroyed to the end.
27 And the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

It looks as if the vision of Daniel is talking about the four kingdoms of his time, which were, the Babylonian Empire (the lion), the Persian Empire (the bear), the Greek Empire (the leopard) and finally the Roman Empire, but that is not true, because the appearance of these four kingdoms or countries of the prophecy is close to time of the end, that is when the little horn shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and when the ancient of days sits on the judgment seat. And since the saints did not take the kingdom after the Roman Empire, it meant that the prophecy is talking about countries other than those of Daniel's time, whose appearance is close to the time of the end and the judgment day.

So let us see what is going on around us these days:

The first beast, which is like a lion and has eagle's wings:
This represents, "The British Empire", whose emblem is the lion standing on two feet, the British Empire has ruled most parts of the world, and was named as the empire from which the sun never sets. It had ruled the world with vanquish, brutal might and aggression, till it finally disintegrated and vanished. But today's Britain talks about human rights and democracy.

The second beast, which is like a bear and has three ribs in its mouth:
This represent, "The Soviet Union", whose emblem is, "The Russian Bear." Russia did rise on one side of the world . And the three ribs in its mouth are the countries whose uprisings and revolutions were crushed by the Russian tanks, these were the Hungarian revolution of 1956, the Polish revolution and Afghanistan revolution. That is why it was told, "to devour much flesh" that is the flesh of the people who were crushed.

The third beast, which is like a leopard, which has four heads and four wings of a bird on its back :
This represent, "Hitler's Germany," whose emblem used to be a four winged eagle, and which was later on changed to the swastika, the beast is compared to the leopard because of its fast conquest and invasions. The four heads of the beast represent Germany and its partners in world war two, that is, Germany, Japan, Italy and Romania which joined the war along side Hitler from 1941 till 1944 AD.

The fourth beast, which is dreadful, terrible and exceedingly strong, which has iron teeth and copper claws:
This represents, "The United States of America," which is exceedingly powerful. America entered world war two along side Britain and against Hitler. But the true result of the war was that The United States of America won the war against all those who participated in it, except for the Soviet Union. Germany and its partners (the leopard) lost the war and became American and Russian colonies, they have all been subjected to the American economical power and mercy, and that included Britain itself where the Americans keep till today military airbases, air forces, and atomic rocket bases. And the British Empire from which the sun never used to set off, today is but an obedient economical follower and the first defender of the American interests all over the world whether right and just or false and totally unjust.

Finally the Soviet Union which came as a victor of world war two (The Russian Bear), and ruled the world together with the United States of America for a few years. And in spite of its apparent might has finally joined the countries, which are subjected to the mercy of the American economical influence. And what is happening these days to the states and countries which used to be called, "The Soviet Union" is but a strong proof that the fourth mighty beast (America) has devoured and broken to pieces all the previous three beasts, (Britain, Germany and its partners, and the Soviet Union), and stamped and trampled over them with its feet.

In short, Britain (the lion), Germany, Japan, Italy and Romania (the leopard with four heads), and the X-Soviet union (the bear), all are subjected to direct or indirect American influence be it economical or otherwise.

Daniel says that, "The fourth beast is different from all before it. It shall devour the whole earth and trample over it, and break it to pieces. And this is exactly true, for all the countries and empires which came before America, used to rule their colonies with military might and oppression. But this is not the case with America who was itself a colony one day, and was ashamed in the beginning to be an imperialistic power; it gradually changed to become a new kind of imperialistic power. It followed an indirect way of colonizing others. That is the economical way, and if money and economy did not do the trick, it would then pull out its military stick and show its nuclear muscles to protect "The Human Rights" all over the world, which means the protection of the American interests and without any mercy. In this way all countries of the world became under America's might, power, influence and mercy, and it has devoured the whole world and trampled over it. And alas still more will come, and woe for him, with whom America is not satisfied!

Daniel says, "The fourth beast has ten horns and a little one came up among them, which made three of the ten fall,"

These ten horns are ten countries, which directly or indirectly belong to America (the fourth beast). These countries were previously part of the British Empire but their control and their indirect ownership changed hands and was passed to America when the British Empire was weakened.

These ten horns above (countries), are the same ten horns of the beast that came out of the sand of the sea, in chapter thirteen of the Revelation, That is the ten countries into which the Islamic Empire broke up. And they are also the same ten horns of the scarlet beast of chapter seventeen of the Revelation, on whose back Rome sat in the past ruling the world.

These countries are apparently and officially independent and are members of "The United Nations" as of 1948 AD, and they are:

First : Egypt and Sudan . . . . . . . Second : Iran. . . . . . . . . . . . . Third : Iraq

Fourth : Lebanon . . . . . . . . . . . . .Fifth : Saudi Arabia. . . . . . . .Sixth : Syria

Seventh : Turkey. . . . . . . . . . . . . Eighth: Afghanistan. . . . . . . Ninth: Pakistan

Tenth : The Yemen.

All of the above ten countries were parts of the Islamic Empire, and became members of the United Nations before 1948 AD. The small little horn that grew between them in 1948 and which made three of the ten horns fall is the State of Israel, which became a member of the United Nations in 1949 AD. Yes, it was this little horn (Israel), which humbled and humiliated three of the ten horns and which were Egypt, Lebanon and Syria, whose lands were occupied and annexed through Israel military force which seems greater than that of the ten horns around it.

Daniel says, "The little horn had eyes and a mouth that spoke great things."

As in the revelation of John, the two witnesses that God shall send will be killed in Jerusalem (where our Lord was crucified), by the Anti-Christ, which is the beast that shall ascend from the bottom-less pit. He shall appear in Israel, the little spoiled horn of America. And shall make war against all Christians and Jews, and including America itself. They shall be given into his hands for a time, two times and half a time, that is, three and a half years. He shall burn America with fire, as the prophecy says, "The beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire."

The rest of the beasts (countries), which are the lion (Britain), the leopard (Germany, Japan, Italy and Romania), and the bear (Russia and the remains of the Soviet Union). Their dominion will be taken away, but their lives will be prolonged for a season and a time, that is, for a year and a bit after America is burned with fire.

Rome sat in the past on the back of the scarlet beast (chapter seventeen of the Revelation) ruling the world. But now a days there sits on his back a new Babylon, a new Rome, which is the "United States of America," and the devil has given her authority and power over all the world. Which it calls "The New World Order," that is, the new order of economical interests of the big looting and thieving the oil, the gold, the diamonds, the copper and other minerals and raw materials of the small countries.

The ten horns of the scarlet beast, and which are the ten horns of the beast that came out of the sea (the beast of the third seal), that is, the countries into which the Islamic Empire was divided into are

First : Egypt and Sudan. . . . . . . Second : Iran.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Third : Iraq

Fourth : Lebanon . . . . . . . . . . . . Fifth : Saudi Arabia. . . . . . . . . Sixth : Syria

Seventh : Turkey. . . . . . . . . . . . Eighth: Afghanistan. . . . . . . . . Ninth: Pakistan

Tenth : The Yemen.

These countries (horns) have not yet taken the kingdom and control over the world, but they shall take power like kings for a short time, and they will be of the same opinion. They will give their power and authority to the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit, until the word of God is fulfilled. That is, to the beast that has two horns of a lamb. That is, to the Anti-Christ, who will make use of all the power and authority of some known states (the quarter of the earth surface), and he shall make the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. Acting as if he was Christ himself.

Further, these ten countries (horns) will hate the new harlot, that is, America, and they will make her desolate and naked, devour her flesh and burn her up with fire, (don't forget Anti-Christ can make fire come from heaven down to the earth in the sight of men).

So would the new harlot, "America and its White House" which sits on the back of the scarlet beast ruling the world now a days learn the lesson of the burning Rome? Of course not! The first two Babylons did not learn the lesson in time, and neither would the new one, for whoever is given the power by the beast does what his master the Devil tells him till the very bitter end.

Then Daniel says, " With the clouds of heaven there came one like a Son of man" and "The saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom forever and ever."

Yes, after the terrible prosecution and tribulation, Christ will come on the clouds of the heaven, and the court shall sit in judgment, and Anti-Christ dominion shall be taken away. And the dominion and kingdom shall be given to the saints of the Most High, and the kingdom of Christ shall last forever and ever. He shall establish "the New World Order", a world without death, pain suffering or sorrow. Nothing like the American New World order of the intelligent and stupid bombs, and the Atomic bombs which fell and are still falling on towns and people and their countries.
Daniel says, "He shall speak words against the Most High and shall wear out the saints of the Most High," and shall think to change the times and the Law.

This is exactly what Anti-Christ will do. He will claim that he is the actual "Jesus Christ" and that he is the son of Mary, and not the Son of God. He shall speak blasphemies against God, and wear out the Christians and the Jews. And whoever follows his mission up will come to thing that he is changing the times and the Laws of God. He shall refuse the crucifixion, saying that he is the Christ and that he was never crucified. He shall accuse the Christians and Jews of deforming and changing the Old And New Testaments, that is the Laws of God, which he will change and restyle to suit his purpose of Mankind destruction. He will try to take away from them the only weapon they have against him, and that is "The Crucifixion and the blood of the Son of God,".

The Anti-Christ mission will last for three and a half years, which is equal to the period which Christ took to complete his mission . Anti-Christ mission ends only when Jesus Christ comes in his glory to put an end to Anti-Christ and his followers.

Finally Daniel say, " The fourth beast had teeth of iron and claws of copper."

This is exactly true of America, which is controlled by; "The Zionist Lobby" and they control the whole world through directing America's policies. And they are (the Jews) described in the Old Testament as being of, " Iron and Copper" as we see in:

Micah (4 - 13):
Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion, for I will make your horns iron, and your hoofs copper, you shall beat in pieces many people, and shall devote their gain to the Lord, their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.

And in: Jeremiah (6 - 26):
O daughter of my people, grid on sackcloth, and roll in ashes, make mourning as for an only son, most bitter lamentation, for suddenly the destroyer will come upon us.
27 I have made you an assayer and tester among my people, that you may know and assay their ways.
28 They are all stubbornly rebellious, going about their slanders. They are copper and iron; all of them are corrupters.

And in: Isaiah (48 - 1):
Hear this O house of Jacob, who are called by the name Israel, and who came forth from the loins of Judah, who swear by the name of the Lord, but not in truth or righteousness.
2 For they call themselves of the holly city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
3 I have declared the former things from the beginning, they went forth from my mouth and I made them known, then suddenly I made them and they came to pass.
4 because I know that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew and your forehead copper.

From above we see that the words, "Iron and Copper" are used to describe the Jews, because their faith usually rusts and fades away.

And we also notice that, after Britain, Germany, Russia and America. We shall witness the coming of the Anti-Christ who will appear in Israel, and he shall speak blasphemies against God and shall make use of the grounds prepared for his mission

We have read chapter seven of the prophecy of Daniel, and seen what it meant for our present and future.
