Daniel said that the saints would be given into the hands of the "little horn" for a time, times and a half time. This time period is found in other prophecies, and even in Daniel.

Daniel 7, The Little Horn, and Paul MM #2085/15/12 11:31am
The persecutorial "little horn" of Daniel 7 was to arise in the days of Rome. Paul said the Man of sin was already alive and being restrained! Furthermore, Paul's description of the Man of Sin, tells is that we are to look to the first century Jewish Temple and priesthood for help in understanding who the Little Horn, and the Man of Sin was. Take a look and pass it on!
Daniel 7 and the Little Horn MM # 2075/14/12 12:22pm
Daniel 7 speaks of the "little horn." Who is that enigmatic figure? Was it a man, or a kingdom? I suggest that the popular ideas of the identity of the little horn are misguided, and that we hjave direct clues from Daniel as to who or what he / it was! Take a look and pass this aong!
Daniel 7:13-14 and Jesus MM # 2065/11/12 11:24am
Jesus cited Daniel 7:13-14 several times in predictions of his coming in judgment-- in his generation. This has profound implications for our understanding of Daniel
Daniel 7 and the Great Throne Judgment MM # 2055/10/12 12:50pm
Daniel 7 foretold the Great Throne Judgment when the little horn would be judged for persecuting the saints. This has profound implications for our understanding of Revelation-- and eschatology. Take a look and pass it on!

The Synagogue of Satan and the Dating of Revelation MM # 2035/08/12 12:20pm
Jesus told the church at Smyrna and Philadelphia that the synagogue of Satan, those who say they are Jews but are liars, was about to persecute them for a short time. This was not the first time that Jesus identifed "Satan" as the persecutor of the saints, and it has a direct bearing on the dating and application of Revelation. Take a look and pass it on!
The Last Days and Daniel 8- Answering Viewer's Questions MM #2025/07/12 11:34am
A viewer has asked me to comment on Daniel 8, where we find the term "the latter times." Normally that term refer to the eschatological period, but, this text is an exception. Take a look, and pass it on!
Eschatology: The Hope of Israel MM # 2015/03/12 12:26pm
All futurist eschatologies claim to believe that the law of Moses passed away in the first century. Then, amazingly, they then appeal to that supposedly dead covenant / law, for their futurist eschatology! How can you appeal to a dead law, a dead covenant, whiich of logical necessity means "dead promises" for your future hope? If a covenant is dead, it is dead! This is really important stuff, so take a look and pass it on!
Gog and Magog #6 MM #2005/02/12 12:11pm
Revelation mentions the battle of Gog and Magog. This is an unfortunate rendering. It is literally "the war." The War" is an important eschatological theme, foretold in Isaiah, Daniel and other prophecies. This is great stuff, so take a look and pass it on!
