UNFOLDING THE WORD With Dr. Gary Kuhne

“SUNDAY EXPOSITIONS” are extended weekly Bible teaching times in which I go through a Book of Bible verse by verse. My current exposition is taken from the Book of Galatians. The SUNDAY EXPOSITIONS are posted on Sunday each week.

The “Beasts” refer to specific kingdoms God permits to rule in human affairs at various points in history. The first three kingdoms were the Babylonian empire, the Medo-Perian Kingdom, and the Greek Empire under Alexander the Great. Acts 4 and 5 introduce us to the Terrifying Beast and the “Ten Horn Beast”, which actually are the same nation/kingdom at different points in the unfolding history of the world. The clear explanation is this empire refers to the Roman Empire, which eventually lost control of the world, only to reemerge at a future point of human history in the form of a 10 nation-confederacy. And in the era of the 10 Horns, eventually one of the leaders and countries will emerge that takes over the world.

The “Beasts” refer to specific kingdoms God permits to rule in human affairs at various points in history. The first “Beast”, the “Flying Lion” refers to the Babylonian Empire, the empire represented by the “Golden Head” of the Chapter 2 dream. In today’s verses we examine the next two kingdoms, the Bear Beast (refers to the Medo-Persian Empire) and the Leopard Beast (The Greek empire that was led initially by Alexander The Great).

The Chapter 7 dream is now like a play with 7 acts, providing an accurate picture of the future. In fact, the various prophecies in Chapters 7-12 underscore that God is the Lord of History. The thread of the prophecies is the link to the 1^stand 2^nd Comings of the promised Messiah. The dream in Chapter 7 covers the same time frame as found in the dream of Chapter 2. The “Beasts” refer to specific kingdoms God permits to rule in human affairs at various points in history. The first “Beast”, the “Flying Lion” refers to the Babylonian Empire, the empire represented by the “Golden Head” of the Chapter 2 dream.

Chapter 7 begins a new focus in Daniel. Chapters 1-6 focused on the chronology of Daniel’s life from the time of his childhood under the Babylonian Empire through the time in his early 80’s serving Medo-Persian Empire. Chapter 7-12 now focus on a number of prophetic visions given to Daniel that concentrate on the future events and groups that would be impacting on the Jewish people. The thread of the prophecies is the link to the 1^st and 2^nd Comings of the promised Messiah. The Chapter 7 dream is now like a Play with 7 acts, providing an accurate picture of the future. All the prophecies in Chapters 7-12 underscore that God is the Lord of History.

The jealous leaders plot Daniel’s downfall by tricking King Darius into making a law that would conflict with Daniel’s faith and Daniel now found himself in the Lion’s Den. King Darius was grieved that the law trapped Daniel, but couldn’t change the result. But Darius knew that God could save Daniel & he p[rayed for this miracle. The morning proved God had worked – Daniel was alive and untouched! Darius accepted Daniel’s innocence and condemned the conspiring leaders to the same death penalty. Darius also provided some signs that perhaps he had become a believer and follower of Daniel’s God.
