We read Daniel 8, trace the ram and goat through history, and wrestle with Gabriel’s explanation that still leaves Daniel stunned. We weigh Antiochus, Nero, and future fulfillment, and land on a steady note: God sets the limits on evil and restores his people.
• reading Daniel 8 aloud with context
• Media-Persia as the ram, Greece as the goat
• Alexander’s broken horn and four successors
• the “little horn,” Antiochus, and desecrated temple
• stars cast down and the prince of the host
• 2300 evenings and mornings: days or sacrifices
• layered fulfillment and typology across history
• God’s sovereignty over empires and outcomes
• practical response: watch, pray, do not fear
Read your Bible. Don’t rely on other people to read it for you. Read it.
