  4. Medo-Persia, 539-331 b.c. “And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.” Daniel 7:5 • Lydia, Anatolia (Ancient Turkey) – 547 BC • Babylon – 539 BC • Egypt – 525 BC

  5. Greece, 331-168 b.c. “After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.” Daniel 7:6 “Each one whetted the sword against the other, and the empire went down in a tangle of strife and carnage. Within the close of the century, and the issue of the battle of Ipsus (301 B.C.) it had resolved itself into four well-ascertained domains. 1. Syria and Babylonia under Seleucus. 2. Egypt under Ptolemy. 3. Thrace and Asia-Minor under Lysimachus. 4. Macedonia and Greece under Cassander.” Wheeler, Alexander the Great, pg. 494.

  6. Rome, 168 b.c.-476 a.d. “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.” Daniel 7:7 “The empire of the Romans filled the world…the world became a safe and dreary prison for his enemies.” The Decline & Fall Of The Roman Empire, Vol. 1, Ch. 3 Revelation 12:3-4

  7. Four stages of Rome 1. Imperial Rome 2. 10 kingdoms (7:24) 3. Papal Rome 4. The wound that will get healed (Rev 13:3)

  8. Divided Europe, 476 a.d. Horn (Daniel 7:24, 8:22) • Alemanni…………… Germany • Franks………………. France • Burgundians…………. Switzerland • Suevi……………….. Portugal • Lombards…………... Italy • Visigoths…………… Spain • Anglo-Saxons………. England • Vandals…………….. Extinct • Heruli………………. Extinct • Ostrogoths………… Extinct

  9. Divided Europe, 476 a.d. Where there not more than ten tribes? • Division of West and East in 395 a.d. • What happened in 476? Quick Facts about Eastern Rome: • Got their own capital in the 4th century • New name: The Byzantine Empire

  10. Divided Europe, 476 a.d. The 100 greatest historians on the Roman Empire mention in total 20 tribes: “Some have 8, some have 12. But fundamentally you can argue for 10. Some of the tribes were divided, some disappeared. Some were so small that they could not be counted as a kingdom... Machiavelli is mentioning 10, as well as a bunch of others. All decent and intellectual historians will accept that "roughly" ten Germanic tribes – kingdoms, challenged the Roman Empire and caused to a large extent the fall of the Roman Empire around 500 AD.” K. Jørgensen

  11. Divided Europe, 476 a.d. 1. Did these tribes establish kingdoms? 2. Did they establish kingdoms within the bounds of the Western Empire? 3. Can these ten nations be found within the time period of the prophecy? 4. Do all remain until today? “The ten horns are ten kings whoshall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones, and shall subdue three kings.” Daniel 7:24

  12. Divided Europe, 476 a.d. 10 kingdoms are mentioned by: - Edward Gibbon - Machiavelli- Edward B. Elliot- Sir Isaac Newton - A.T. Jones.

  13. Divided Europe, 476 a.d. ”Here are named exactly ten nations "who established their kingdoms on the ruins of the Western Empire." Assuredly no one can suppose for a moment that Gibbon wrote with any intentional reference to an exposition of the prophecy. Nevertheless he has given an exposition of it; because he has written the one single authoritative history of the times of the fulfillment of this prophecy. That history is itself an exposition, and the very best one, of the prophecy in question. Therefore all that has been attempted in this narration is simply to produce, from the authoritative history, the history of the ten kingdoms as they were developed and established. This list, as the history develops it, will bear the test of the closest legitimate criticism.” - A.T Jones, Great Empires of Prophecy From Babylon to the Fall of Rome p. 585

  14. Divided Europe, 476 a.d. Milman and Guizot, in preface to Milman’s edition 1845, “Decline and Fall” states: ”The great work of Gibbon is indispensable to the student of history....The literature of Europe offers no substitute for the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire... it has obtained undisputed possession, as rightful occupant, of the vast period which it comprehends...his history is the sole undisputed authority to which all defer, and from which few appeal to original writers, or to more modern compilers...the vast design of Gibbon...the laborious execution of his immense plan” have made ”the decline and fall of the Roman Empire an unapproachable subject to the future historian.”

  15. The Papacy, 538 a.d- “I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.” Daniel 7:8 Plucked up by the roots: 1. Heruli, 493 a.d. 2. Vandals 534 a.d. 3. Ostrogoths 538 a.d.

  16. The Papacy, 538 a.d- "In Spain the Goth supplies an important element in the modern nation. And that element has been neither forgotten nor despised. Part of the unconquered region of northern Spain, the land of Asturia, kept for a while the name of Gothia, as did the Gothic possessions in Gaul and Crim. The name of the people who played so great a part in all southern Europe, and who actually ruled over so large a part of it, has now wholly passed away; but it is in Spain that its historical impress is to be looked for." Encyclopedia Britannica, art. Goths, par. 18.

  17. The Papacy, 538 a.d- “The Roman Christian Church was a church of world-wide importance and power, and her bishop the most influential. Out of the ruins of political Rome arose the great moral empire in the “giant form” of the Roman Church. In the marvelous rise of the Roman Church is seen in strong relief the majestic office of the Bishop of Rome.” - Alexander Clarence Flick, The Rise of the Mediaeval Church, p. 150 “A mouth speaking great things” (Daniel 7:8) Daniel 7:25

  18. The Papacy, 538 a.d- Bishop Hippolytus of Portus Romanus (of Rome): “The legs of iron, and the dreadful and terrible beast, expressed the Romans who hold the sovereignty at present; The toes of the feet were part of clay and part of iron, and the ten horns, were emblems of the kingdoms that are yet to rise; the little horn that grows up among them meant the Antichrist in their midst.” Hippolytus, Treatise on Christ and Antichrist chaps. 28,29, in ANF, vol. 5, p. 210.

  19. The everlasting kingdom “And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.” Daniel 7:14
