The
Timeline of Daniel and
Revelation
The story begins
in 605 BC with Daniel a
captive in Babylon.
Daniel’s first dream of
the great image is the figure
of a man. ‘The
great image’
of the man is the foundation
of the story. It is a representation
of all the
kingdoms of the world until
the Second Coming of Jesus. |

The
Great Image of Daniel 2:31-35
God uses metals
to show the value of each
kingdom starting with gold,
which is very
precious; and
ending with iron mixed with
clay that is
worthless. As
time passes the kingdoms of
the earth degenerate morally
and financially from precious
as gold to worthless as iron
mixed with clay. The kingdom
of iron and clay represents
the last generation of the
world just before Jesus
comes. What is the strength
or value of a building or
machine of iron mixed with
clay? |

"The
Great Image of Daniel 2:31-35
is a 'part' of the world that
represents 'the whole world.'
The way God treated the kings
and the inhabitants of the
Mediterranean area represents
how God loves
and disciplines all His
children in the entire
world."

Daniel
2:34 'While you were
watching, a rock was cut out,
but not by human
hands. It was moving at
the speed of light from the
heavens.'
This phrase means the end
of the world, but the end
will not occur by the hands
of people. Jesus, the Rock,
will bring this world to an
end. |
 |

'The
Rock [Christ] struck the
statue on its feet of iron
and clay.'
The Rock
represents Jesus, the King of
Kings and Lord of Lords
coming on His white horse, in
Revelation 19:11, to save the
saints and destroy all earthy
kingdoms that are worthless
as iron mixed with clay. Then
Jesus sets up His everlasting
kingdom. |
 |

Daniel
2:34 '...and smashed them.'
The Rock
represents Jesus, the King of
Kings and Lord of Lords
coming on His white horse, in
Revelation 19:11, to save the
saints and destroy all earthy
kingdoms that are worthless
as iron mixed with clay. Then
Jesus sets up His everlasting
kingdom. |

'Daniel
2:45 This is
the meaning of the vision of
the rock cut out of a
mountain, but not by human
hands - a rock that broke the
iron, the bronze, the clay,
the silver and the gold to
pieces. "The great God
has shown the king what will
take place in the future. The
dream is true and the
interpretation is
trustworthy." |
 |

Daniel
2:35 '...[The
Rock - Christ] became a huge
mountain and filled the whole
earth.'
[Christ’s
kingdom is global] The
‘Rock’ breaks all
the different metals at the
same time. This means that
all the different kingdoms
will be present at the end by
their cultures, traditions,
religions and politics. The
beast of Revelation 13:1-2 is
the global crisis government
of the future Great
Tribulation, which is a
composite beast of the past |

"Four
Winds are a Global
Event."
Daniel 7:2
Daniel said: “In my
vision at night I looked, and
there before me were the four
winds of heaven [global]
churning up the great sea.
Four great beasts [kingdoms],
each different from the
others, came up out of the
sea [many people]. |

Babylon
605 B.C.
“The
first was like a lion
[Babylon 605 BC], and it had
wings of an eagle [fast]. I
watched until its wings were
torn off and it was lifted
from the ground so that it
stood on two feet like a man,
and the heart of a man [like
King Saul] was given to
it.” |
 |
| 11 |
Medo-Persia
538 B.C.
“And there before me was
a second beast, which looked
like a bear [Medo-Persia 538
BC]. It was raised up on one
of its sides, and it had
three ribs in its mouth
between its teeth. It was
told, ‘Get up and eat
you fill of flesh!’ |
 |
| 12 |
Greece
331 B.C.
“After that, I looked,
and there before me was
another beast, one that
looked like a leopard [Greece
331 BC]. And on its back it
had four wings like those of
a bird. This beast had four
heads [four generals], and it
was given authority to
rule.” |
 |
| 13 |
Pagan
Rome 168 BC
“”After
that, in my vision at night I
looked, and there before me
was a fourth beast [Pagan
Rome 168 BC] –terrifying
and frightening and very
powerful. It had large iron
teeth [like the legs of the
image]; it crushed and
devoured its victims and
trampled underfoot whatever
was left. It was different
from all the other former
beasts, and it had ten horns
[division of Rome 476 AD]. |
 |
| 14 |
Papal
Rome 538 AD to 1798 AD
“While
I was thinking about the
horns, there before me was
another horn, a little one
[papal Rome 533 AD], which
came up among them; and three
of the first horns were
uprooted [538 AD] before it
[three kingdoms]. The horn
had eyes like the eyes of a
man and a mouth that spoke
boastfully [ruled for 1,260
years 1798 AD].” |
 |
| 15 |
Daniel
7:9-10
"As I looked,
"thrones were set in
place [in 1798AD], and the
Ancient of Days took his
seat. His clothing was a
white as snow; the color of
his head was white like wool.
His throne was flaming with
fire, and its wheels were all
ablaze. A river of fire was
flowing, coming out from
before him. Thousands upon
thousands attended him; ten
thousand times ten thousand
stood before him. The court
was seated, and the book were
opened." |
 |

A
Restraining Order Against the
Little Horn 1798
The scene is
dated by the Ancient of Days
passing a restraining order
to stop the persecution of
the papacy against the saints
that lasted 1,260 years
[Daniel 7:25]. Look at Daniel
7:21-22 " As I watched,
this horn was raging war
against the saints and
defeating them, until the
Ancient of Days came and
pronounced judgment in favor
of the saints of the Most
High, and the time came when
they possessed the
kingdom" |

Judgment
of the World 1844 AD
The date that
God chose to judge each
person and cleanse the
sanctuary of each
person’s sins was set by
God before the world began in
1844 AD or two thousand there
hundred years from the date
of Medo-Persian King,
Artaxerxes, signed the decree
to release Israel to go home
and finish rebuilding
Jerusalem. The judgment of
the world is done by the
process of cleansing the
sanctuary. As each person is
forgiven throughout their
lives – all of their
sins are transferred
to the altars in the heavenly
sanctuary |
 |
| 18 |
Jesus
starting the judgment of
mankind with Abel being the
first to be judged
Beginning in 1844 Jesus
reviewed the life of Abel,
the first person to die, and
Abel’s sins were
cleansed from the sanctuary
because he had faith in the
Saviour; thus Abel was sealed
with eternal life. Then Jesus
opened the books of the next
person’s life and so
forth down through the
centuries of time sealing
some with eternal life and
condemning others with
eternal death. |

Horn
Boasts Again in the Future
Great Tribulation
Satan, the
little horn of
Daniel 8:11, appears
physically, masquerading as
Jesus. Jesus allows Satan,
masquerading as God on earth,
to cast Truth to the ground
for the purpose of creating
the greatest possible
contrast between truth and
lies. Those that worship
Satan are lost and those who
worship God are saved;
therefore the cleansing of
the sanctuary comes to an end
by the choices each person
makes. |

Jesus
Burns the Beast at His Secong
Coming
The story of
apocalyptic prophecy begins
with the Kingdom of Babylon
in 605 BC, and ends with the
burning of the beast in the
first lake of
fire, that is created by
Jesus with the seventh plague
of sulfur bombs, just prior
to His Second Coming
[Revelation 19:11-21]. |

Abel
- Genesis 4
All the examples
of Abel, Noah, Abraham
sacrificing lambs, and the
story of Abraham sacrificing
his son Isaac, was to teach
Israel that God was going to
send His Son to give His life
for the sins of the world
– to pay the debt of
sin, which is death. By the
time of Jesus, Israel had
completely lost the meaning
of the evening and morning
sacrifice that foreshadowed
the Messiah’s death. |

Abraham
as God the Father & Isaac
as Jesus the Son of God
All the examples
of Abel, Noah, Abraham
sacrificing lambs, and the
story of Abraham sacrificing
his son Isaac, was to teach
Israel that God was going to
send His Son to give His life
for the sins of the world
– to pay the debt of
sin, which is death. By the
time of Jesus, Israel had
completely lost the meaning
of the evening and morning
sacrifice that foreshadowed
the Messiah’s death. |
 |

God's
Original Plan
Jesus was born
to reveal the love of the
Father and to die to redeem
the world from sin. Jesus
would have voluntarily walked
into the temple on Passover,
giving His life freely for
the sins of the world. The
High Priest would have been
in agony – his eyes
would have been filled with
tears streaming down his face
as he pierced the throat of
Jesus. Then on the third day
Jesus would have been raised
from the dead, and Israel
would have taken the gospel
to the entire world. |

Israel's
Leaders Murdered the Son of
God
It was not
God’s plan for
Israel’s leaders to
murder His Son. But
the Jewish leaders hated the
truth. They had become so
self-righteous in their own
eyes they had no need of a
Saviour; thus they rejected
the altogether lovely
character of Jesus. They were
not interested in truth or
being redeemed from sin. They
wanted money, power,
prosperity, fancy houses, and
national supremacy –
they wanted to be the ones
ruling, and not to be ruled.
Literal Israel missed the
birth of Jesus and His
anointing because they were
teaching the traditions of
men just like the churches
today. Jerusalem was
destroyed in 70 AD because
Israel had rejected and
murdered the Saviour of the
world, their Creator. |

The
Birth of Jesus & The
Dragon - 4 BC Birth of Jesus
& The Devil's Attempt to
Kill Baby Jesus
This prophecy of
Revelation 12:1-6 begins in 4
BC. A picture is worth a
thousand words. Even though
Mary was chosen by God to
bring Jesus into the world,
the glorious, cosmic picture
of the woman clothed with the
glory of God represents much
more than the mother of Jesus
– the woman represents
not only God’s church on
earth, but the church of the
entire universe anticipating
Christ’s birth. The life
of Jesus has saved millions
of unfallen worlds from the
fear and doubt created by the
intruder of sin.
Lucifer’s hideous
behavior has answered their
questions concerning
Lucifer’s accusations
against God. |
