The prophet Daniel who’s mane in the Hebrew language means “God is my judge” is one of the four major prophets in the Scriptures; a descendant of King David’s family tree (1:3), who was taken captive to Babylon in 600 BC, as a young boy, when Jehoiakim, from the Kingdom of Judah in Jerusalem, met his first three years as king. Daniel found favor with the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar, along with other young Jews which were instructed by their universities for three long years, becoming, for his wisdom and as a prophet, first minister and friend of the king-emperor, subsequently influencing policy and decisions within the empire.
This prophecy coming from the wise man of God Daniel has been taught in all schools of theology, recognizing it as a repetition of the prophecy discussed in Chapter 2 in this Book of Daniel, about the vision related with the statue that King Nebuchadnezzar dreamed of, but in reality it is not the same. The Holy Spirit would not leave in blank the modern historical period that would precede the End Times, and Daniel was not troubled—as you will read—during that earlier vision, but with this one he was.
He was watching-understanding a strange time for him related with rockets, planes, trains, submarines, that is, our time since the industrial revolution. It is thus the history we are living now and which will trigger soon the resurgence of the last World Empire.
