1) Daniel has a vision of a two-horned ram being attacked and defeated by a goat with a prominent horn between its eyes.
2) The goat's large horn is broken off and replaced by four prominent horns. Another small horn grows and becomes very powerful, threatening heavenly beings.
3) The vision is explained to Daniel - the ram represents the kings of Media and Persia, while the goat is the king of Greece. The small horn represents a future wicked king who will prosper for a time but will ultimately be destroyed.
Not a textual lesson on the chapter itself for it has been previously explained. This lesson deals with the concept of the kingdom of God and how the church IS the kingdom prophesied in Daniel 2.
Looks at how the last two chapters of the Book of Daniel fit in with the end times chronology of the New Testament in the Book of Revelation and Synoptic Gospels.

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.
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. 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.

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.

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
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.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

4. Daniel 8
1 In the third year of King Belshazzar’s reign,
I, Daniel, had a vision, after the one that had
already appeared to me. 2 In my vision I saw
myself in the citadel of Susa in the province
of Elam; in the vision I was beside the Ulai
Canal. 3 I looked up, and there before me
was a ram with two horns, standing beside
the canal, and the horns were long. One of
the horns was longer than the other but
grew up later.
5. Daniel 8
4 I watched the ram as he charged toward
the west and the north and the south. No
animal could stand against him, and none
could rescue from his power. He did as he
pleased and became great.
6. Daniel 8
5 As I was thinking about this, suddenly a
goat with a prominent horn between his eyes
came from the west, crossing the whole
earth without touching the ground. 6 He
came toward the two-horned ram I had seen
standing beside the canal and charged at him
in great rage.
7. Daniel 8
7 I saw him attack the ram furiously, striking
the ram and shattering his two horns. The
ram was powerless to stand against him; the
goat knocked him to the ground and
trampled on him, and none could rescue the
ram from his power. 8 The goat became very
great, but at the height of his power his large
horn was broken off, and in its place four
prominent horns grew up toward the four
winds of heaven.
8. Daniel 8
9 Out of one of them came another horn,
which started small but grew in power to the
south and to the east and toward the
Beautiful Land. 10 It grew until it reached the
host of the heavens, and it threw some of
the starry host down to the earth and
trampled on them. 11 It set itself up to be as
great as the Prince of the host; it took away
the daily sacrifice from him, and the place of
his sanctuary was brought low.
9. 12 Because of rebellion, the host of the
saints and the daily sacrifice were given over
to it. It prospered in everything it did, and
truth was thrown to the ground.
13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and
another holy one said to him, “How long will
it take for the vision to be fulfilled—the
vision concerning the daily sacrifice, the
rebellion that causes desolation, and the
surrender of the sanctuary and of the host
that will be trampled underfoot?”
10. Daniel 8
14 He said to me, “It will take 2,300 evenings
and mornings; then the sanctuary will be
reconsecrated.”
11. 15 While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and
trying to understand it, there before me stood one
who looked like a man. 16 And I heard a man’s
voice from the Ulai calling, “Gabriel, tell this man
the meaning of the vision.”
17 As he came near the place where I was
standing, I was terrified and fell prostrate. “Son of
man,” he said to me, “understand that the vision
concerns the time of the end.”
18 While he was speaking to me, I was in a deep
sleep, with my face to the ground. Then he
touched me and raised me to my feet.
12. Daniel 8
19 He said: “I am going to tell you what will
happen later in the time of wrath, because
the vision concerns the appointed time of the
end. 20 The two-horned ram that you saw
represents the kings of Media and Persia. 21
The shaggy goat is the king of Greece, and
the large horn between his eyes is the first
king. 22 The four horns that replaced the one
that was broken off represent four kingdoms
that will emerge from his nation but will not
have the same power.
13. Daniel 8
23 “In the latter part of their reign, when
rebels have become completely wicked, a
stern-faced king, a master of intrigue, will
arise. 24 He will become very strong, but not
by his own power. He will cause astounding
devastation and will succeed in whatever he
does. He will destroy the mighty men and the
holy people.
14. Daniel 8
25 He will cause deceit to prosper, and he
will consider himself superior. When they
feel secure, he will destroy many and take his
stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he
will be destroyed, but not by human power.
26 “The vision of the evenings and mornings
that has been given you is true, but seal up
the vision, for it concerns the distant future.”

16. Daniel 8
27 I, Daniel, was exhausted and lay ill for
several days. Then I got up and went
about the king’s business. I was appalled
by the vision; it was beyond
understanding.
