Prophecy of King David
Daniel & The Revelation
Who is the Messiah?
According to Prophet Isaiah
THE DREAM AND THE INTERPRETATION
12. What
did Daniel say the king saw in his dream?
Daniel 2: 31
"A great ___________________ "
13:
List the elements that make up the image.
Daniel 2: 32, 33
(1) The head of ________________
(2) The breast and arms of
______________
(3) The belly and thighs of
_______________
(4) The legs of __________________
(5) The feet of
__________________ and __________________
14.
What did the stone cut without hands do to the image?
Daniel 2: 34
"It ____________ the image . . . and break them to
pieces."
15.
What did the stone become? Daniel 2: 35
"A great ________, and filled the whole earth."
Note: Nebuchadnezzar was
obviously sitting on the edge of his seat. Daniel had clearly
revealed to him the dream that the God of heaven had given to
him. Now he anxiously wondered what the dream meant."
16.
Who now gives the interpretation of the dream to
Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel 2: 36, 45
Daniel and ________________
Note: Daniel could only
give the interpretation that God had revealed to him in vision,
and we will do well to take it just as He gave it. The best way
to interpret the Bible, and the best way to interpret the
prophecies, is to let the Bible, itself, explain the symbols.
17.
What does the head of gold represent?
Daniel 2: 37, 38
Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom, _____________________
Note: The king regarded as
the head of state. That is why Nebuchadnezzar represented
Babylon, the empire that began the prophecy. His kingdom ruled
the world from 606 - 538 BC as one of the mightiest empires of
antiquity, one that could aptly be described as the head of
gold. Notice that the prophecy begins with Daniel's time.
18.
Was Nebuchadnezzer's kingdom to last forever?
Daniel 2: 39
_________________________________________
Note: Succeeding kingdoms
would be inferior to Babylon, but they would rule in their turn.
Babylon would not last forever. Just as silver is inferior to
gold, so the kingdom that followed Babylon was inferior to her.
In 538 BC the kingdom of Medo-Persia came on the scene of
action.
19.
What metal would represent the kingdom that would follow Medo-Persia?
Daniel 2: 39
The third kingdom of ____________________
Note: Even the Medo-Persian
kingdom would not last forever. Alexander the treat led the
Greeks to conquer the Medes and Persians in the battle of Arbela
in 331 BC, and the kingdom of Greece, the brass kingdom, came
upon the scene of action.
20.
What metal represents the fourth kingdom that should come.
Daniel 2: 40
______________________________________________
Note: The kingdom that
followed Greece was the iron monarchy of Rome, which ruled the
world from 168 BC to 476 AD. This is the kingdom that dominated
the world when Jesus was born. With perfect accuracy Daniel has
foretold world history for 1,000 years. The rise and fall of
these empires - Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome - are
clearly foretold in the Bible. God knows in advance what is
going to happen. He is clearly in control of human events.
Amazingly, God has foretold that there would be these four world
empires and no more.
21.
What would be the condition of Europe after the break-up of the
Roman Empire? Daniel 2: 41, 42
"The kingdom shall be ______________ . . . partly strong
and partly broken."
Note: As prophesied, when
the Roman Empire ended in 476 AD, it was not taken over by
another world empire. Instead as the Bible foretold, barbarian
tribes conquered the Roman Empire and divided it. Ten of these
tribes eventually became modern Europe. They were: the
Ostrogoths, the Visigoths, Franks, Vandals, Suevi, Alemanni,
Anglo-Saxons, Heruli, Lombards and Burgundians. Seven of them
still exist today in Europe. For example, the Anglo-Saxons
became the English, the Franks became the French, and the
Lombards became the Italians. Daniel 7 will tell the
fascinating story of the power that destroyed three of these ten
divisions.
22.
Would these ten kingdoms ever seek to unite?
Daniel 2: 43
"They shall ___________________ themselves with the
seed of men."
Note: Through marriage,
alliances and other means, men would attempt to unite the
European continent once again.
23.
Will the European continent ever be united again?
Daniel 2: 43
"They shall not ___________________ one to another,
even as iron is not mixed with clay."
Note: Men have tried to
unite Europe throughout history. Charlemagne, Napoleon,
Mussolini, Hitler, and others have done their best to unite
Europe, but these words of Scripture have stopped every would-be
ruler. Bible prophecy clearly states that the world will remain
divided for the rest of history. Remember that God is in
control of earthly events!
