While there are many prophecies that can be found in the Bible, one very interesting one can be found in Daniel. The Book of Daniel Prophecy contains the hardest chapters to decipher. However, it is important because it also contains some visions about the end times that all Christians have to take note of.
Now, if one would read these chapters, then he or she would definitely draw some parallelisms with the other end times predictions found in the Bible. Of course, revelations would be the chapter has the most end times predictions and these chapters in Daniel somehow lead up to the beginning of end times. Most wars have already happened in history but some interpret the last war as the final bout before the restoration of modern day Israel.
One very interesting thing to take note was that the vision started after the third year of Cyrus but was given to Daniel during the third year. It showcased the succeeding battles of Cyrus, the conqueror of Babylon. The angel who gave the vision was Gabriel the archangel before any of these events took place.
The next part of the vision showed a battle against the prince of Greece which signified another big battle after Cyrus. True enough, this was the battle of Macedonia and Greece waged by none other than Alexander The Great. The vision did not really emphasis his conquest though but did showcase him as the prince of Greece.
Next, the vision also showed the rise of the huge Roman Empire that happened sometime during sixty four BC up to seventy AD. This was followed by the fall of Jerusalem when Pompey invaded which was sometime in sixty three BC. Lastly, the angel predicted the death of yet again one of the big kings that would rule the world which is none other than the great Julius Caesar.
The thing about the last chapter, which is chapter twelve, is that there are a few ways of interpreting it. Firstly, it could be the depiction of the coming of Jesus Christ as well as the resurrection after the cross leading to a new kingdom of Israel. From there, many struggles and tribulations would come until the Christ returns.
On the other hand, Christian millennialism would interpret this chapter as the restoration of Israel in the present day. The end of chapter ten could also interpret the rise of the Antichrist in which he will be one of the big four princes mentioned in the previous chapters taking over the world. Of course, the Antichrist would also fall signifying that the Messiah will come back.
This is an extremely interesting book because it contains a vision or prediction that can give present day researchers clues on end times. While the interpretations may still vary, the whole point that wars were already predicted before they happened even during that time gives hope to more possible clues found in the Bible about the future. As what most Christians believe, the end is definitely near and the Messiah, along with the heavenly host would return eventually and take down the Antichrist.
