SCRIPTURES

1 During the third year that Jehoiakim (YAHUYAQIM) was King of Judah (about 605 B.C). Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon came to Jerusalem and surrounded it with his Army. 2 And YAHUAH allowed Nebuchadnezzar to defeat Jehoiakim King of Judah. Nebuchadnezzar even took all the dishes and other things from YAHUAH’S Temple (THAT SOLOMON BUILT) and carried them to Babylon (Shinar/Sumer), placing them in the Temple of his own deities. 3 Then King Nebuchadnezzar ordered Ashpenaz,

1 During Nebuchadnezzar’s second year as King, he had dreams that troubled his spirit so much that he couldn’t sleep. 2 So the King called his wise men, since they practiced magic, astrology and witchcraft to try and learn what would happen in the future. The King ordered them (as well as some Chaldeans) to tell him what he’d dreamed, so they came in and stood before the King. 3 And the King said to them, “I had a dream that deeply troubles me, and I want to know what it mean

1 King Nebuchadnezzar had an image (STATUE) of gold made that was around 30 metres high and 3 metres wide, on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. 2 Then he called the Satraps, Prefects, Governors, Advisors, Treasurers, Judges, Rulers, and all the other Officials in his Kingdom to come together. He wanted all of them to come to the dedication ceremony for this massive statue . 3 So all the men came and stood in front of the idol that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

1 King Nebuchadnezzar sent this letter to the many peoples, nations and languages living around the world: “Greetings: 2 I’m very happy to tell you about the signs and wonders that the Most High Alahim has worked for me. 3 O’ how great are his signs and mighty are His wonders. His kingdom continues forever and His ruleship will continue for all generations. 4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, happy and successful in my palace. 5 Then I had a dream that freaked me ri

1 King Belshazzar gave a big party for 1000 of his officials and was drinking wine with them all. 2 As Belshazzar was drinking his wine, he ordered his servants to bring the gold and silver cups that His father Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the Temple in Jerusalem. King Belshazzar wanted his Royal people, his wives, and his concubines to drink from those cups. 3 So they brought the gold cups that had been taken from the Temple of Alahim in Jerusalem, and the King and his offi

1 Darius thought it would be a good idea to choose 120 Governors to rule throughout his Kingdom. 2 Then he chose three men to rule over the 120 Governors. Daniel was one of these three Rulers. The King put these men in this position to keep anyone from cheating him and causing him to suffer a loss. 3 Daniel proved himself to be a better supervising Ruler than any of the others, because of his good character, great ability and the excellent Spirit that was in him. Infact the

1 During the first year that Belshazzar was king of Babylon (ABOUT 553 B.C), Daniel had a dream. He saw these visions while he was lying on his bed, and he wrote a summary of all these matters that he’d dreamed. 2 Daniel said, “In my night vision I saw the winds of the Heaven blowing from all four directions, stirring up a rough sea. 3 Then I saw four great beasts coming up out of the sea and each one was different from the other. 4 The first animal looked like a lion , but i

1 After that vision (ABOUT 2 YEARS AFTER) I, Daniel, saw another vision during the third year that Belshazzar was King (ABOUT 551 B.C). 2 In the vision I saw that I was in the city of Shushan, the capital city in the province of Elam (PERSIA). I was standing by the Ulai River. 3 I looked up and saw a ram standing at the side of the river. The ram had two long horns (symbolising two kings of two separate kingdoms). The horns were both long, but one horn was longer than the

1 These things happened during the first year that Darius son of Ahasuerus was King. Darius was a Mede by birth, but he was appointed to be the King of Babylon. 2 During his first year as King, I was studying the Scripture scrolls and noticed in YAHUAH’S message to Jeremiah that 70 years would pass before Jerusalem would be rebuilt. 3 Then I turned to YAHUAH Alahim and prayed to Him and asked Him for help. I did not eat any food. I put ashes on my head and put on the clothes

1 During the third year that Cyrus was the King of Persia, these things were shown to Daniel. (Daniel’s other name is Belteshazzar.) BY THIS TIME, THE FIRST WAVE OF JEWISH EXILES HAD RETURNED TO JERUSALEM UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF EZRA (EZRA 1-2). They are true, often troubling and hard to understand. But Daniel understood them because they were explained to him in a vision. 2 At that time I, Daniel, was very sad and mourning for three weeks. (21 DAYS) 3 During that time I did

1 During the first year that Darius the Mede was King, I stood up to support Michael in his fight against the Prince of Persia. 2 Now then, Daniel, I tell you the truth: Three more Kings will rule in Persia. Then a fourth King will come who will be much richer than all the other Kings of Persia before him ( 4 KINGS = CYRUS > DARIUS > CAMBYSES > XERXES ). He will use his riches to get power and turn everyone against the Kingdom of Greece. 3 But then a very strong and powerf

THIS CHAPTER CONTINUES ON FROM THE LAST, WHERE THE GREAT KINGS OF THE NORTH AND SOUTH GO TO WAR, THE CONTINUAL SACRIFICES ARE STOPPED AND THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION IS SET UP IN THE HEARTS OF MANKIND (LAST 3.5 YRS). GABRIEL IS SPEAKING ... 1 At that time, Michael the great Prince will stand up. Michael is in charge of your people Daniel .
