Daniel 8• This vision of Daniel is his 3rd

regarding futuristic kingdoms.• It pertains to the “ram with two

horns”=Persian/Medes.• Persia would grow more dominant and

control that kingdom (which they did under Cyrus)

• The “goat with the prominent horn” is a likely reference to Greece and Alexander.

Page 9: Prophesy of The Coming Kingdom

The “Broken Horn”• After many battles Greece did replace

Persia as the dominant power in the world.

• Alexander was “broken off” in his prime (dying at just 33 from illness).

• At his death the Greek empire splintered into 4 parts…• Daniel saw this 200 years earlier!

God’s Kingdom• Daniel 2:44 refers to it as the BEST of

all Kingdoms.• Luke 17:20-21

• Spoken of in Chapter 7:18 as the Kingdom that will be possessed by the saints (those set apart) FOREVER!!!

• Acts 2:38-39• 2 Corinthians 3:17• Ephesians 1:19-23

Conclusions… Daniel is an Accurate fulfillment of Isaiah’s

prophecies about Cyrus (Isaiah 54)…down to his name and function.

Daniel was moved—are you?
