    Daniel's Vision Of World History Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 30, 2022
     | 2,519 views

    What we are about to see in the remainder of this vision is future prophecy that has not yet occurred. Beginning with verse 36, the king referred to in passage is the Antichrist who is to arise in the last days of human history.

There seems to be a definite break between verses 35 and 36. What we are about to see in the remainder of this vision is ...read more
