Prophecy of the 4 Beast Kingdoms
Daniel 7
Remember the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 is made up of the Kingdoms (LANDS) of the Lion, Bear, and Leopard. There are 4 stages to this beast, corresponding to the 4 horsemen of Revelation 6 and Zechariah 6.
Persia = Iran & Yavan = Turkey's realm
1st: 1941-1979 = Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi
2nd: 1979-1989 = Ruhollah Khomeini
3rd: 1989-present = Ali Khamenei
4th: ??? - could be a coup by their Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) installing themselves or a hand-picked Successor - possibly their long awaited "12th Imam" Mahdi.
Verse 3 =
"Great horn"/"first king" of chapter 8, likely Erdogan
Verse 4 =
Parcelling lands into 4 nations, see Dan. 8
Verse 15 =
Egypt falls and submits to the Caliphate.
Verse 6 =
likely refers to Saudi Arabia who will ally with Egypt but negotiate with Turkey to keep the status quo, but house of Saud will come to an end.
Verses 5 - 20 =
Power struggle for the future of this Caliphate for an unspecified period of time.
Verse 23 =
Covenant confirmed with 10 Kings and Israel, see Daniel 9:27 - final 7 years begin.
Verse 21 =
Little Horn rises - must come from Turkey, Syria or Iraq (land of the north/the Assyrian).
Verse 32 - 45 =
the Great Tribulation - Antichrist's war against the Saints and the Jews leading to Gog/Magog invasion and battle of Armageddon at Christ's return.
Verse 31 =
Abomination of Desolation - Great Tribulation/final 3.5 years begins.
Verse 24 - 30 =
First 3.5 years, "Beginnings of Sorrows".
Lion = land of ancient Babylon = Iraq/Syria
Iraq was made to stand like a man, not a beast, and given a man's heart - dictator overthrown and democracy forced upon it by military of USA/UK 2003-2011. Attempted the same in Syria but failed 2012-2013. Caliphate begins to be reborn there on June 29, 2014. ISIS could not be stopped from Conquering, then 2 twin capitals of Raaqa and Mosul "plucked". Iran and Turkey fighting for control.
Bear = land of ancient Medo-Persia = Iran
There are 3 ribs telling it to rise and strike. Is this the Kurds (Media), Shia in Iraq and in Syria? Or Turkey, Iraq and Saudi Arabia (see Dan. 8)?
Iran will invade the Middle East. Perhaps under the auspices of overthrowing ISIS/terrorism or helping the Kurds, but it escalates into full Shia vs Sunni War for the Caliphate crown. Iran will "take peace (of mind) from the earth".
Leopard = land of ancient Javan = Turkey leading coalition of Sunni Islamic nations
Turkey leads the counterattack and defeats Iran and claims leadership the Caliphate. Brings time of economic collapse as the strong and legitimized Caliphate will now control up to 80% of global oil supply. It will literally redraw the map of the Middle East and a time of severe econominc trouble will come upon the earth.
10 horns on last beast = leaders of new globally recognized Islamic government (Caliphate). Little Horn (Antichrist) rises on this last beast
The Antichrist ascends to power over the 10 kings of Middle Eastern Islamic nations. He makes the "Death and Sheol" pact with Israel over Jerusalem - specifically the Temple Mount; thus begins the first half of the final 7 years. Brings time of famines, pestilence, earthquakes, "kingdom against kingdom"; IE the beginnings of sorrows Jesus warned us about. After 3.5 years, the covenant is broken, the Antichrist-led Caliphate invades Israel, Abomination of Desolation is set up in the Temple. The Time of Jacob's Trouble/The Great Tribulation then begins.
