“And the vision of the evenings and mornings, which was told is true; Therefore, seal up the vision, for it refers to many days in the future.” Daniel 8:26 Anyone today knows the visions of Daniel are true. Every generation, from the youngest to the oldest, is aware of the thing which forms what they think, feel, and do. What they aren’t being told is what the Bible tells us, that it enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them. They are unknowingly being synchronized to the mark of the beast.

Every generation also knows that the world is forming under the global government, which is referred to as the “democratic” society of peace and tolerance. They are thrilled that masses of people around the world can protest and riot for the same goals. They are thrilled for the global unity, which pushes forward the agenda of the global government. They are not being told what the Bible says, that it is the global government of the beast. We are living in those days referred to 25oo years ago as “many days in the future.”

The vision tells us we are living in the time of the end. “Then it happened, when I, Daniel, had seen the vision and was seeking the meaning, that suddenly there stood before me one having the appearance of a man.” Daniel 8:15 The vision of Daniel is mentioned in the verses 1-7 of Daniel 8. “And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, who called, and said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.” Daniel 8:16 Daniel’s dream is now going to be summarized/interpreted. Because we are living in the days of the vision’s fulfillment, as verified by the airplanes talked about in Daniel 8:5, it’s easy for us to understand. “So he came near where I stood, and when he came I was afraid and fell on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the time of the end.” Daniel 8:17 We are living in the time of the end, which began with establishing the new global orde, which handed a welcome mat to the image and mark of the beast (Daniel 8:8-9).

Wake up, look, and stand in these end times. “Now, as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep with my face to the ground; but he touched me, and stood me upright.” Daniel 8:18 In a sense, Christianity is in a deep sleep nowadays, which is easy to see by the absence of the Gospel of Christ in the churches and the passing of government laws that make war with the teachings of the Bible. As followers of Christ, we need to stand upright in these times of the end.

“And he said, “Look, I am making known to you what shall happen in the latter time of the indignation; for at the appointed time the end shall be.” Daniel 8:19 All we have to do is look. Look around at the direction of the world, look in the Bible to see the prophecies unfolding, and look within us. As we look within ourselves, we know there is a thing that forms what a person thinks, feels, and does to enable the image of the beast to live and speak through us. It synchronizes to the mark of the beast.

We are living in the latter times of indignation. The followers of Christ experience indignation towards the blaspheme against God, indignation at discarding the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and indignation at the way the Holy Spirit is trampled on.

Summary/interpretation of Daniel’s vision.

Two nations on the eastern side of the world collaborate to make war. “The ram which you saw, having the two horns—they are the kings of Media and Persia.” Daniel 8:20 Daniel’s vision had relevance for the times back then, but even then, much of what Daniel revealed made absolutely no sense at all for his times. Such as mentioning the beast with iron teeth, the little horn with human eyes, and crossing the whole earth without touching the ground. Media and Persia were located on the eastern side of the world and conquering other nations without restraint. In the context of Daniel 8:1-7, they are symbolic and mirror exactly Germany and Japan during WW2 (Daniel 8:3-4).

One nation on the western side of the world defeats the two eastern nations.  “And the male goat is the kingdom of Greece. The large horn that is between its eyes is the first king.” Daniel 8:21 The United States was a king, or a world power as it was majestic and powerful as it stood for God, Christ, and freedom since about 1776 (The other global kings are talked about in the next section).

Greece (Crete) was far to the west of Media and Persia and would be impossible to get to those eastern nations without crossing very large seas. In fact, Daniel 8:5 says that the western nation crossed the whole earth without touching the ground. That makes it pretty clear that Greece/Crete is symbolic for a nation on the western side of the world that used airplanes to defeat the two nations on the eastern side of the world. That describes how the United States defeated Hitler’s Germany and Japan in WW2.

The new world government was established after the East and West war. “As for the broken horn and the four that stood up in its place, four kingdoms shall arise out of that nation, but not with its power.” Daniel 8:22 The broken horn is referring to the western’s nation loss of majesty and glory after the war with the two eastern nations. After WW2, the New Global Order was established to bring all the nations together (four kingdoms) in a pact of peace. At that time, the United States joined the global government (United Nations).

After WW2, as a member of the new global government, America shared its majesty and glory with all the other nations of the world (from its broken horn arose four kingdoms). The powerful and majestic horn once embraced God, Christ, and freedom and is now broken. America would no longer be the leader of the world with it its own power, but today lends its power to the “democratic” and “peaceful” agenda of the global government of the beast. The four kingdoms symbolize international dominion relating to the four winds, meaning in every direction from north, south, east, and west as described in Daniel 8:8.

The image and mark of the beast rules from the formation of the global government. “And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have reached their fullness, a king shall arise, having fierce features, who understands sinister schemes.” Daniel 8:23 The kingdom of the global government of the beast appears during the latter days. Today, we are living in the latter times during the existence of their kingdom.

Arises within those who deny God, Jssus, and the Holy Spirit. Under the global government, transgressors are at their peak, and the transgressors are those who deny the existence of God, discard the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and trample on the Holy Spirit. The transgressors make it possible for the global “king” to arise. The “king” refers to one which rules over the earth, and today, the masses in every city around the world embraces the thing which forms what they think, feel, and do which enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them. It synchronizes the masses to the mark of the beast.

In the verse below, the “sea” refers to the populations around the world, and the beast refers to the “king” mentioned above. The “Great Sea” is also mentioned in Daniel 7:2-3.

Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.

All who dwell on the earth will worship it, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Revelation 13:1,8

Has fierce features. The phrase, “fierce features”, is used in the same way as the phrase, “on the face of the whole earth.” The earth doesn’t have the face of a human, and “fierce features” isn’t talking about an individual person. The fierce features relate to the beasts in Daniel 7. The fierce features of the “king” which governs the world include;

1. The lion, which is aggressive against the human spirit mixing with the Spirit of Christ.
2. The bear with ribs dangling from its mouth, which devours any relationship, including marriages, where the human spirit bonds with the Spirit of Christ.
3. The leopard with bird wings which is given authority. It has authority over the grassroots populations to enforce that everyone embraces the thing which forms their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to enable the image of the beast to live and speak through them.
4. The beast with iron teeth, which is the result of the fierce actions of the other beasts which comes against the human spirit and the Spirit of Christ. Without the human spirit mixing with the Spirit of Christ, the fierce “king” is able to rule within the soul of people as the little horn with human eyes dominates the world.

Filled with sinister schemes. The “king” which arises from within the population of the world is the fierce thing which rules over all the earth. That king understands sinister schemes but gives no place to understanding God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit within the mind and hearts of the people. Its sinister schemes come through the four beasts mentioned above.

Although the “king” is able to endow people with uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, and extraordinary worldly understanding, it opposes the fruitful understanding of the Gospel of Christ. It has the power to form thoughts but torments any natural thoughts which arise in the name of Jesus. It has the power to form feelings but opposes natural feelings in the love of God. It has power to form behaviors but opposes deeds which spreads the Gospel or enlivens praise for the Lord Jesus Christ

Power is through the masses of people. “His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; He shall destroy fearfully, and shall prosper and thrive; He shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people.” Daniel 8:24 Daniel 8:24 The power of the global government of the beast comes through people who welcomes the thing to form what they think, feel, and do to enable the image of the beast to live and speak through them. They are synchronized to the mark of the beast.

Prospers and thrives. The masses thrive in everything they do relating to worldly success. The thing which has power over physiology endows them with whatever is necessary to succeed. People who allow the image of the beast to live and speak through them are endowed with uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, extraordinary skills, attractively appropriate emotions, amazing physical ability, authority, etc. Add all of that to the collective force of the masses in every city working together and it sums up to people boasting, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Revelation 13:4

Destroys mighty nations. Today, we see how mighty nations are destroyed by the masses of people demanding their “democratic” rights. Those demands are the protests and riots worldwide which are pushing conformity to the agenda of the global government of the beast. Their demands detest the teachings of the Bible and anything to do with the Gospel of Christ. The masses of people are allowing the image of the beast to live and speak through them. The United States is certainly an example of a mighty Godly nation which has been destroyed by the demands of the masses, in the name of “democratic” rights. The killing of the unborn and the LGBQT+ community etc. has been lifted up while Christianity has been torn down.

Destroys the children of God. The Holy people of God has been destroyed. The Gospel of Christ is no longer found in the churches, government policies reveal that the influence of Christianity is non-existent, the educational system scorns the teachings of the Bible, the workplace has no tolerance for outward expressions of Christian beliefs, etc. Even then, we who are faithful to Jesus Christ will always exist, no matter how few we are.

It was granted to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given it over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship it, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Revelation 13:7-8

Deceitful in the process of promoting the image of the beast. “Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper under his hand; And he shall exalt himself in his heart. He shall destroy many in their prosperity. He shall even rise against the Prince of princes; But he shall be broken without human means.” Daniel 8:25

Deceit used is to get the masses of people to live according to the image of the beast. Today, those promoting the “democratic” society wants you to believe there is no harm in embracing the thing that forms what a person thinks, feels, and does. In fact, there is no secret about its existence because it is being promoted in every sector of society, including schools and churches. The thing they are being deceitful about, and not speaking a word about, is that it enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them. They are definitely deceitful about the mark of the beast which is determining a person’s station in life.

And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which it was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.

Revelation 13:14

Exalts itself above God and all that is called God. The beast exalts itself and rises against the Lord Jesus Christ so that it can sit in the temple of God, our body, as if it were God. It does that through the thing which has the ability to influence what a person thinks, feels, and does. It is destroyed, but not by human means such as rebellion in any form, and certainly not armed rebellion.

…it opposes and exalts itself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that it sits as God in the temple of God, showing itself that it is God.

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

Revelation 13:4 and also 2 Thessalonians 2:8

Plunders the prosperity of its opposers. It employs tactics similar to behavioral modification to reward those who allow the image of the beast to live and speak through them, and to punish those who reject the image of the beast. The tools used to modify behavior are money, possessions, physical comforts, and social approval. If a person is living according to the will of the government of the beast, then all of those things are given as positive reinforcers. If a person opposes the “democratic” society of the beast, then all of those things are withheld as punishment. That is their way of mandating that everyone welcomes the thing which forms what they think, feel, and do to enable the image of the beast to live and spesk through them.

Today we are living in the “many days in the future.”  “And the vision of the evenings and mornings, which was told is true;
Therefore, seal up the vision, for it refers to many days in the future.” Daniel 8:26 Anyone today knows the visions of Daniel are true. Every generation, from the youngest to the oldest, is aware of the thing which forms what they think, feel, and do. What they aren’t being told is what the Bible tells us, that it enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them.

Every generation also knows that the world is forming under the global government, which is referred to as the “democratic” society of peace and tolerance. They are not being told what the Bible says, that it is the global government of the beast. We are living in those days referred to 25oo years ago as “many days in the future.”

“And I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for days; afterward I arose and went about the king’s business. I was astonished by the vision, but no one understood it.” Daniel 8:27
