Q1 Where was Daniel the prophet when God gave him a second vision (for his first vision see Module 14) of the progression of world powers?
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters. Daniel 7:1
Q2 What did he see at first?
I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. Daniel 7:2
NOTE: There was a great storm with winds swirling from all sides. The Great Sea was a name given to the Mediterranean Sea. Winds in prophecy stand for strife, war and commotion. Jeremiah 49:36. In Daniel, kingdoms rise and fall with war and strife. Waters in prophecy denote peoples and nations. Revelation 17:15.
Q3 What did Daniel see next?
And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. Daniel 7:3 |
