Daniel 8:1 - 9:23

DanielSteve Gregg
In this session, Steve Gregg delves into Daniel 8:1-9:23 and discusses the last vision, which follows on from the four empires featured in Chapters 2 and 7. The vision talks about the Persian Empire that is on the horizon and how suddenly a male goat appears from the west. The goat comes with notable horns and eyes and takes on the ram with two horns. Steve also relates this vision to the events surrounding the reign of Antiochus Epiphanes, who profaned the Jewish Temple and caused a reactive movement among the pious Jews that led to the sacrifice being ceased for a period of six years.
