The story of Daniel from the Bible, narrated as an ‘Ancient’ news channel
It has been an exciting journey as we have looked into both the past and the future. In exile, God was able to use him as a witness to a Godly life and in his retirement to receive messages from regarding world history, and particularly the end times.
In today's broadcast, we drill deeper into some key dates that the late Daniel was shown in the last vision that was recorded in his writings. In the vision, Daniel was shown two periods, one equivalent to 1290 days, and the other, 1335 days.
Daniel appeared to be stumped by the vision that we tackle today. He saw events occurring until Christ's second coming. At first, these were earthly battles, but as time went on, turned out to be more to do with truth and error within Christianity.
Daniel saw the Son of God in his priestly garb and how Michael fights for His people. We learn about, “The King of the North” and “The King of the South” who fight each other in the future and adversely affect people aligned with Daniel's God.
It appears his next revelatory episode included an image of “a man,” and an angel, who helped explain the vision concerning a series of wars and time-prophecies of the future. This is a preview of a behind-the-scenes spiritual struggle.
In writings discovered after his death, Daniel claimed to have been visited by an angel that gave him some clarity on very cryptic information about a 70-week period and how this fit into the 2300-day prophecy we discussed in our last broadcast.
We look more closely at our latest vision and how the little horn reduces the meaning of the Hebrew sanctuary service, which God's plan of salvation for humankind. Daniel was understandably distraught at this complex vision.
Today will zero in on a time-prophecy spanning 2300 years, and what happens in that time. Last broadcast, we talked about a goat. It loses a big horn which is replaced by four others. Out of one, a little horn grows with outsized influence.
In our last broadcast, we learned of a combative ram that takes center stage at the start of a vision the late statesman Daniel had. AWR's investigative team has discerned from Daniel's writings, that another animal, this time a goat, enters the vision.
We discover yet another vision that Daniel had and wrote about. This particular vision starts out with him finding himself in the city of Susa. A ram then appears with two long horns, one of which is slightly longer than the other.
In our most recent show, we identified the fourth beast of Daniel's dream as the Roman Empire, and its ten horns as tribes within the Empire. A mysterious little horn emerges and the power of the little horn seems disproportionate to its size.
We dig deeper into Daniel's writings that describe his dream involving four beasts that come out of an ocean. Today the AWR news-team will share details of a fourth terrifying beast with metal teeth that devoured the third kingdom, Greece.
The deceased statesman Daniel's dream was dominated by four beasts, the first two of which were a lion and a bear. We bring you breaking news as researchers have tied the third beast, a leopard, to another great world empire.
Today we further unpack our previous episode. AWR confirmed that the first of four animals representing four political powers in Daniel's dream, was a lion that represented Babylon as a Mesopotamian superpower that eventually lost political power.
We take a closer look at Daniel's nightmare, where he dreamed of four animals representing four political powers, coming out of an ocean. The first, a powerful lion, shows deterioration on a humiliating scale for whatever power this beast represents.
Reports have indicated that certain prophetic writings of the late Daniel have been discovered. He interpreted the dreams of kings, but it appears he was also given some prophetic dreams by his own God. We wonder what they could reveal?
Daniel, the highly-respected statesman, has died. The Medo-Persian empire, its leaders and the Jews mourn his passing. Tributes poured in from every corner of the empire and it's impossible to put into words how everyone feels this morning.
The widely-respected Hebrew statesman, Daniel, was thrown into a lions' den. King Darius appears to have been caught off guard by Daniel's arrest. Before Daniel was thrown into the pit, the monarch told him that he hoped Daniel's God would save him.
The new law that required everyone to pray to only Darius for the next 30 days. Daniel prays in full view of the public, three times a day. Will he continue to do so, despite the law. Daniel does not keep us in suspense for long.
A plot against Daniel's life was uncovered in the Medo-Persian courts of the city of Babylon. Much of the influence that he had in the Babylonian court of Nebuchadnezzar, the new king, Darius, also has given Daniel.
Cyrus of Persia, who put Darius the Mede on the throne, seems to have a more respectful policy to refugees, foreigners, and exiles. He issued a decree that those who wish may return home and rebuild the temple, their place of worship to YAHWEH.
A hand has appeared and written, supernaturally, on a wall, “Mene, mene, tekel, parsin.” The queen has suggested that the king summon Daniel, the old interpreter of Nebuchadnezzar's dreams, to help make sense of things.
Once a larger-than-life figure on the world stage, the late King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon is now a fading memory. Belshazzar's style of government is very different and his subjects are being forced to adjust to a “new normal” under his reign.
“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” The Babylonian monarch has emerged from seven years of living like an animal in the wild, with other animals. The monarch was struck by a severe psychosis for the entire period.
King Nebuchadnezzar commanded all seven classifications of Babylonian governmental officials to bow down and worship an enormous statue that was recently built in the image of his god, Nabu. Violators would be thrown in a furnace!
Three years after their hometown of Jerusalem was attacked and they were exiled to Babylon, D-Day came for an elite group of young Hebrew men. Graduated as top of the class, each trainee was interrogated by King Nebuchadnezzar himself.
In an unprecedented turn of events, King Nebuchadnezzar reversed his decision to execute his advisors. Daniel claimed to have been shown King Nebuchadnezzar's dream by his God, YAHWEH.
The often-unpredictable ruler made the decision in what eyewitnesses described as a fit of rage because his advisors were unable to tell him the details of a dream he had the night before.
Jerusalem's exiled young elite arrived in magnificent Babylon after a two-month-long march. The curriculum ensured a thorough indoctrination in Babylonian thought and culture.
In high-tension talks with Judah's King Jehoiakim, the Babylonian leader, intent on dominating Mesopotamia, insisted that Judah relinquish its alliance with Egypt.
