Sure. It's talking about the time of Roman rule. Sounds 1st century. Wasn't aware there were nuclear weapons at that time.
No I mean just the book of Daniel all together the apocalyptic Hebrew style it’s written in ?
Chapter 2 neb. Has a dream Daniel explains what it means
This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all.
Thou art this head of gold.
And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee,
and
another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
And
the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these,
shall it break in pieces and bruise…..
And in the days of these kings shall
the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and
it shall stand for ever….
Daniel 2:36-45 KJV
weve learned a general story of four kingdoms the fourth being strong and destructive and then that god would set up a kingdom that would eventually overcome them all and destroy and stand forever
Do you see how the following visions and dreams in the book of Daniel are adding to the general subject matter we’ve heard there ? How all the book is connected and adds more details to that first subject matter in the end daniels seeing details of the general dream bout the four kingdoms later we learn more about those four kingdoms
“And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. 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. 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. 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. 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. I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 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. These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth. But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; and of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.”
Daniel 7:3-8, 13-14, 17-22
ado you see the generality in chapter two and then more details of the same subject matter In seven how in seven you see also the kingdom set up and victorious in the end after these four kingdoms rise and fall ?
a much of the book is doing this it’s slowly adding new details by the successive visions by the end the little horn is being described as this fierce king who would do much damage to the holy people but the everlasting kingdom would in the end overcome them all ect
I’m only asking this because it’s a perfect example of the nature of the Old Testament Hebrew prophecy which has that same design as where you layer things on top of the next and find new details each time you do or as the apocalyptic design promotes
it is slowly uncovered simply by hearing it and then hearing the next layer
I was trying to explain what I meant the other day when I said apocalyptic style and design . If you. Price a lot of people think each vision is it’s own thing but that’s not really the design of scripture is my point I was wondering if you had noticed this design in the book of Daniel how it’s really about one subject matter but each time we learn more through the explainations given to Daniel of what they meant
sorry brother lol 😂
