I just thought I'd post some of my favorite verses from the Book of Daniel. Notice that Daniel didn't try to understand or comprehend things himself, he and his friends prayed for guidance. Also note what Daniel did after God revealed His wisdom. He Blesed the God of Heaven. I think we should all remember and follow Daniel's example and BLESS God whenever He reveals His knowledge and wisdom to us and pertaining to our lives Hope everyone has a blessed day!
Daniel 2:16-23 (New King James Version)
16 So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him time, that he might tell the king the interpretation. 17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the decision known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, 18 that they might seek mercies from the God of heaven concerning this secret, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 19 Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
20 Daniel answered and said:
“ Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,
For wisdom and might are His.
21 And He changes the times and the seasons;
He removes kings and raises up kings;
He gives wisdom to the wise
And knowledge to those who have understanding.
22 He reveals deep and secret things;
He knows what is in the darkness,
And light dwells with Him.
23 “ I thank You and praise You,
O God of my fathers;
You have given me wisdom and might,
And have now made known to me what we asked of You,
For You have made known to us the king’s demand.”

verse 9.I beheld till the thrones WERE CAST DOWN and the ANCIENT OF DAYS DID SIT--- ( Gods kingdom set up) (beast destroyed first)
verse11. I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake(the little horn) I beheld even till THE BEAST WAS SLAIN AND HIS BODY DESTROYED, AND GIVEN TO THE BURNING FLAME (lake of fire)
This only means that this is the last beast, last kingdom of men on earth.
This corresponds with daniel 2:41-44 . verse 44. And in the days of these kings (10 toes) shall the GOD OF HEAVEN SET UP A KINGDOM(1000YR REIGN)
This only means that the ten toes will be the last kingdom of men on earth
REV.17:3. the scarlet coloured beast full of names of blasphemy having 7heads and 10 horns; verse 8. the beast that thou sawest was and is not ,and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit(satans idea) AND GO INTO PERDITION.(destroyed)
rev19:20. and the beast was taken, and with him THE FALSE PROPHET(little horn) that wrought miracles before him,and which deceive them that hath received the mark of the beast and them that worshippedhis image. these both were CAST ALIVE INTO A LAKE OF FIRE BURNING WITH BRIMSTONE.( last kingdom of men destroyed.)
summing up: the 10 toes kingdom=the dreadful beast=beast that came out of bottomless pit=rev13.the wounded beast with the 10 horns=rev19:20beast and false prophet cast in lake of fire.
