Christ spoke of the rapture and John was there plus he would have known Paul and his teaching about it.
It's different with the horns. The beast doesn't lose any of it's ten horns. The horns are intact when the beast is destroyed. There Daniels prophecies do not match up with John's. I think God made some changes after the new covenant was in place.
Another difference is in Daniel, there are 4 beasts, and the 4th is destroyed but he writes the other beasts had their lives prolonged. That doesn't happen in Revelation. There is only one kingdom beast and when it is destroyed, there are no previous beasts that continue to exist. People do the strangest things to try to harmonize Daniels prophecies with what John wrote but it's not possible because the differences are too vast.
3 beasts live past the 4th beasts destruction.
3 horns are not removed from the 7 headed beast in Revelation.
These are the only differences I know of so far.
I have a review of history theory aligning with events in Revelations which I believe show we are experiencing the end times over centuries. And we are in them now.
Kaiser Wilhelm II was White Horseman, Stalin was the Red Horseman, the Black horseman was Hitler, and the Ashen horseman was Mao Zedong. Revelations 9 indicates the end of WWII and some extension of time after WWII expressed in 9:20 and 9:21 depicted what we have done since.
Revelation 10 speaks of global trade and adds another extension of time with the 7 thunders speaking but not written what was said and of the change to sugary processed foods making us obese.
Are we in the 1260 days of Revelations 11 where Trump and Netanyahu are the Prophets and the USA and Israel are the 2 lampstands and the 2 Olive branches? Did the 1260 days begin on Oct 7th 2023? 1260 days ends on March 20 2027 - Spring equinox. 1266 days from Oct 7 2023 is Good Friday March 26 2026.
Or did the 1260 days begin on Trump becoming Potus? From Jan 20th 2025, 1260 days ends on July 3rd 2028. Or from Trump's election day on Nov 5th 2024 1260 days ends on April 18th 2028. 2 days after Easter Sunday.
IN any case we see the events unfolding and as war in the ME region is ongoing, it may be more than my personal confirmation bias leading me into these connections.

The Book of Revelations moves very quickly, but it spans for generations until it doesn't. it is compressed yet detailed in what we need to take away from it. Especially the Seven Churches. So, for me, I believe it's important to 1) know beyond a shadow of doubt which church the Lord sees me in, and 2) avoid doing anything that will cause my name to be dabbed out of the Book of Life, which tells me that once saved IS NOT always saved, and I don't want to get to the end with this being my learning curve.
