Daniel had two visions under king Belshazzar. “In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar a vision appeared to me—to me, Daniel—after the one that appeared to me the first time.” Daniel 8:1 Daniel had two visions under the rule of Belshazzar, and Belshazzar totally corrupted the vessels of God during his time as king. The first vision Daniel had related to the four beasts and little horn with human eyes. The second vision is the one in this post about the ram with two horns who was making war from the east. Then a goat with one prominent horn came from the west to put an end to the war. “I saw in the vision, and it so happened while I was looking, that I was in Shushan, the fortified palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision that I was by the River Ulai.” Daniel 8:2 Daniel is explaining where he was during the vision.

Hitler’s Germany and Japan. “Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and there, standing beside the river, was a ram which had two horns, and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last.” Daniel 8:3 The two horns of the ram represent Germany and Japan, which formed a union during WW2. Japan attacked Pearl Harbor after the United States expended a lot of effort in Europe to defeat Hitler’s army. Perhaps Japan thought America wasn’t strong enough to withstand a war with them. At any rate, Japan came up last behind Germany as far as an attack on American soil goes.

“I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward, so that no animal could withstand him; nor was there any that could deliver from his hand, but he did according to his will and became great.” Daniel 8:4 That verse describes what Hitler was doing on the eastern side of the world, in Europe, as his invasions were unstoppable. Hitler began the invasions in 1939 and kept invading one nation right after another, eleven in total. There was no one who was able to rescue the nations that were being invaded and no one was able to rescue the Jewish people from the Holocaust. Hitler’s Germany came up first with its invasion of the European countries before Japan launched an attack on Pearl Harbor.

Hitler’s Germany and Japan were both atheistic countries who had no regard for God, discarded the need for Jesus Christ, and trampled on the Holy Spirit. There were about six million Jewish people slaughtered under Hitler’s reign of terror.

USA Instrumental in Defeating Germany and Japan. “And as I was considering, suddenly a male goat came from the west, across the surface of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.” Daniel 8:5 Coming across the whole earth without touching the ground is talking about airplanes, and coming from the west is referring to America. Having only one, but notable, horn is definitely the description of America’s previous ability to stand alone as a prominent world power. America came across the whole earth, and across the ocean, with B-29 bombers and P-51 Mustangs.

The fact that Daniel mentions airplanes makes it clear that this is referring to the 20th century and could not possibly be before that. Planes capable of crossing the ocean didn’t exist until around the 1930’s or 1920’s. However, the fighter jets and bombers America used to cross the ocean to drop the nuclear bomb weren’t invented until around 1940. Airplanes are a sign of the later days, or end times, which we are currently in. Daniel refers to the later days in this chapter, quoted below. The book of Daniel was written about 2500 years ago, so we are definitely living the days which are referred to as the “many days in the future.”

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^.

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 8:19, 26

“Then he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing beside the river, and ran at him with furious power.” Daniel 8:6 America came against Germany and Japan with the ferocious power of B-29 bombers, P-51 Mustangs, and the nuclear bomb. “And I saw him confronting the ram; he was moved with rage against him, attacked the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to withstand him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled him; and there was no one that could deliver the ram from his hand.” Daniel 8:7 The rage that America possessed was unleashed in the explosion of the nuclear bomb and it brought the end to WW2. Germany and Japan were defeated. They were knocked to the ground, and no one could help them.

Establishment of the New World Order. “Therefore the male goat grew very great; but when he became strong, the large horn was broken, and in place of it four notable ones came up toward the four winds of heaven.” Daniel 8:8 America once had a very notable horn as a dominant and powerful nation within the world. America has never been stronger than during the days of its WW2 victory. Immediately after WW2, the New World Order was formed to join all the nations together as a method to establish world peace.

After WW2, and since the formation of the global government, no longer would nations be able to embark on individual war conquests against peaceful nations. Military powers, such as the United States, would now be working for the new global order to put down violence, aggression, and inhumanities all around the world. The mighty and sovereign power of the United States was broken and given to the four winds. Those four winds represent every direction on the planet, north, south, east, and west. The United States is now a member of the United Nations, which is the global government of the beast.

When the United States joined the United Nations, they also surrendered the belief in God, discarded the need for Jesus Christ, and trampled on the Holy Spirit. The goal of the global government is to eliminate territorial boundaries based on political and religious affiliations. They set themselves up as God and above all political affiliations.

Image and mark of the Beast Comes to Power.

Little horn grows exceedingly under the New World Order. “And out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Glorious Land.” Daniel 8:9 The little horn spoken about in this verse is the same little horn spoken about in Daniel 7. It grows in the direction of the “Glorious Land” which is our body as the temple of the Holy Spirit. As it grows, God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit is eliminated. It grows very great by the ability it has to form what a person thinks, feels, and does to enable the image of the beast to live and speak through people. It synchronizes people to the mark of the beast.

The “Glorious Land” also refers to the State of Israel. Israel is very much in the picture of Bible prophecy relating to the latter days. God brings judgment against Israel by the hand of the global government of the beast, but at the same time, the State of Israel is a symbol of God in this world. As Israel is severely beaten down, it comes before and during the tribulation which comes to all the world. Today, we see the “Glorious Land” being dominated by those who welcome the image of the beast to live and speak through them. The Israeli citizens are demanding the government of the State of Israel to conform to the agenda of the global “democratic” society of the beast.

It evicts the Spirit of Christ and sets itself up as God. “And it grew up to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them.” Daniel 8:10 The thing which forms what a person thinks, feels, and does enables the image of the beast to live and speak through a person and is blaspheming and trampling on God. It wants to be exalted above God by destroying His sanctuary, our body, as written, “He even exalted himself as high as the Prince of the host; and by him the daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place of His sanctuary was cast down.” Daniel 8:11 It elevates itself as the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to sit on His throne within our soul. It has taken away the daily sacrifices by throwing the Gospel of Christ out of the churches as well as removing Christianity from its social network.

 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.

…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.

Revelation 13:6 and also 2 Thessalonians 2:4

Will of the masses replaces and serves as the truth. “Because of transgression, an army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices; and he cast truth down to the ground. He did all this and prospered.” Daniel 8:12 Transgression is the denial of God, discarding the need for Jesus Christ, and trampling on the Holy Spirit. Because of the transgression, masses of people from every city around the world form an army which opposes the teachings of the Bible, they despise Christianity.

The masses in every city around the world are given over to the image of the beast which lives and speaks through them as they are synchronized to the mark of the beast. Truth is thrown to the ground because they believe the will of the masses is more important than truth, in essence, truth is whatever the majority say it is. For example, because they say killing of the unborn is OK then it becomes law, because they say the LGBQT+ community is OK then it is encouraged and becomes law, etc.

In worldly terms, it prospers in everything it does. That’s because of the power it has to equip people with what they need to succeed in life. It has power over physiology to form thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviors. It endows people with uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, extraordinary skills, authority, amazing physical abilities, appealing emotions, etc. The masses in every city around the world welcome it into their life. In exchange, they deny God, discard the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and trample on the Holy Spirit. The followers of Jesus Christ are rejected because worldly success means very little, and we live in the decency of the human spirit through the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

Everyone follows the beast except whose name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life,

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 13:8

How long will the fulfillment of the vision of Daniel be in this world? “Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, “How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?” Daniel 8:13

“How long will the vision be?” is a question we ask in a different way today. Today we ask, “How much longer will the vision continue?”

We are living in the days when the fulfilment of Daniel’s vision is on us. Airplanes are here which are able to travel across the oceans. WW2 has happened to usher in the global government of the beast. The thing is here which forms what we think, feel, and do to enable the image of the beast to live and speak through us. It synchronizes people to the mark of the beast. The Gospel of Christ is taken out of this world as God is blasphemed, the need for Jesus Christ is thrown to the ground, and the Holy Spirit is trampled on. The churches are no longer a place where Jesus Christ can be found. The followers of Jesus Christ are few but faithful.

“And he said to me, “For two thousand three hundred days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.” Daniel 8:14 From the Holy Bible, especially in the Book of Revelation, we know that the global government of the beast is the last government this world will know. It is here today; we are seeing the last government that this world will ever know. It collapses globally on every level and falls into upheaval, chaos, and tribulation. When Jesus Christ comes back, His followers will be with Him eternally and we are given a new body in the resurrection. For those who are still alive when He returns, He transforms our body into the eternal body, and we are taken to be with Him. The sanctuary, our body, is eternally cleansed and free of sin.
