The document provides a summary of Lesson 8 from a series on the Book of Daniel. It discusses the key chapters and visions in Daniel 7. These include the four beasts that represent future kingdoms, the little horn power representing the papacy, the judgment scene, and the Son of Man. It then explains each of the symbols representing Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. It analyzes the 1,260 year period of papal rule and the acts of changing times and law. The vision foretells that God's people will receive His everlasting kingdom after overcoming persecution by the little horn power.
The Antichrist And His Kingdom
Daniel 7: 7 And behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8 I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words. 23 The fourth beast shall be: a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all other kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, trample it and break it in pieces. Daniel 8: 23 ...When the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. Rev. 13: 4 And they worshipped the beast (Antichrist), saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 7 ... And power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him.

Bible prophecy tells us that the time is coming when the world will be united under an incredibly intelligent, charismatic, powerful, evil man. And it states that the Antichrist’s coming will be according to the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders. The antichrist will exalt himself above all that is worshiped or called God and he will force everyone to take a mark (called the mark of the beast) or they will be killed. The bible gives a stern warning and demands that no one is to take this mark.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

They were

Kingdom
They used

9. “I was watching; and the same horn was
making war against the saints, and prevailing
against them.” (Daniel 7:21)
The Roman empire was divided into several parts
which were governed by Barbarian tribes.
Speaking against the Most High. He proclaimed himself
vicar (representative) of God on Earth, infallible
Persecuting the saints. Primarily through the Holy
Inquisition
Changing times and law. He removed the 2nd
commandment and changed the day of worship in the
4th commandment
A different power emerged during that period. It was a
religious power that took over Rome in the Western world.
The acts of the Bishop of Rome were:
10. For how long is the little horn (Papal Rome) allowed to rule?
1 time times ½ time
3 and a
half times
1 year 2 years ½ year
3 and a
half years
538 AD
Justinian delivered Rome
from the Ostrogoths
He gave the Pope power
over the city of Rome
1798 AD
Napoleon incarcerated
Pope PiusVI
The Papacy lost their
political power
“I was watching; and the same horn was making
war against the saints, and prevailing against
them.” (Daniel 7:21)
11. “The special characteristic of the beast, and
therefore of his image, is the breaking of
God’s commandments. Says Daniel, of the
little horn, the papacy: 'He shall think to
change times and the law.' Daniel 7:25, R.V.
And Paul styled the same power the 'man of
sin,' who was to exalt himself above God.
One prophecy is a complement of the other.
Only by changing God’s law could the
papacy exalt itself above God; whoever
should understandingly keep the law as thus
changed would be giving supreme honor to
that power by which the change was made.”
E.G.W. (The Great Controversy, cp. 25, p. 446)
12. “The court was seated, And the
books were opened.” (Daniel 7:10)
When would the judgment in Daniel 7
take place?
According to verses 11 and 12, the
judgment would begin during the time
of the beasts and the horn. That is,
before the Second Coming.
According to verse 25, the judgment would
begin after the 1,260 years of Papal dominion.
That is, after 1798 AD. Chapters 8 and 9 are
more precise on the date when the judgment
would begin.
What's the purpose of this judgment?
To give Christ His dominion back (v. 14), and to
vindicate the people of God (v. 18, 27). The
people of God would be given the dominion
they lost in Eden back.
13. "Son of man" is used in the Bible to refer to
human beings (Nm. 23:19; Job 25:6; Ps. 144:3;
Is. 51:12; Jer. 49:18; Ez. 2:1). It is also a
messianic title (Ps. 80:17) that Jesus used to
refer to Himself (Mt. 8:20; Mr. 13:26; Lk. 9:26;
Jn. 3:13).
Jesus is shown in this vision as in His Second Coming,
"with the clouds of heaven." However, it's not the Second
Coming, because He is not coming to Earth but to the
Ancient of Days as our representative (1Tim. 2:5).
Daniel 8:13-14 explains that this moment is the cleansing
of the Heavenly Sanctuary. After the cleansing ends, the
distorted false worship from the Papal system will be
replaced by true worship.
14. “But the saints of the Most High shall receive
the kingdom, and possess the kingdom
forever, even forever and ever.” (Daniel 7:18)
The saints of the Most High “are to be
identified with God’s faithful followers who
constitute His remnant people, who are His
chosen ones, set apart from the rest of the
nations, persecuted by the power opposing
God, but keeping the covenant faith and
maintaining their trust and confidence in
God from whom they finally receive an
everlasting kingdom.” (Gerhard F. Hasel, “The
Identity of ‘The Saints of the Most High’ in Daniel 7,”
Biblica 56, no. 2 [1975]: p. 192).
After the persecution of "the little horn"—
which will be revived at the End Time by
"the image of the beast" (Rev. 13:14-17)—,
the people of God will receive the kingdom,
an everlasting kingdom.
15. “The kingdom of God’s grace is now being
established, as day by day hearts that have been
full of sin and rebellion yield to the sovereignty
of His love. But the full establishment of the
kingdom of His glory will not take place until
the second coming of Christ to this world. 'The
kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the
kingdom under the whole heaven,' is to be given
to 'the people of the saints of the Most High.'
Daniel 7:27. They shall inherit the kingdom
prepared for them 'from the foundation of the
world.' Matthew 25:34. And Christ will take to
Himself His great power and will reign.”
