While there are many prophecies that can be found in the Bible, one very interesting one can be found in Daniel. The Book of Daniel Prophecy contains the hardest chapters to decipher. However, it is important because it also contains some visions about the end times that all Christians have to take note of.
Now, these visions were actually found in between chapter ten up to twelve with twelve possibly also talking about the wars that could be signifying the end times. In fact, one may even draw out some similarities between the visions of the chapter and some chapters of Revelations. More like, the visions happen after the third year of Cyrus and before the Revelation times.
Chapter ten already predicted the rise of a prince of Persia that would go to war against a supernatural being. The thing about this chapter is that the supernatural being was the one who told Daniel that he is at war with the prince of Persia along with Michael the Archangel. According to the chapter, Archangel Gabriel gave the visions at the third year of Cyrus.
The next part of the vision showed a battle against the prince of Greece which signified another big battle after Cyrus. True enough, this was the battle of Macedonia and Greece waged by none other than Alexander The Great. The vision did not really emphasis his conquest though but did showcase him as the prince of Greece.
Next, the vision also showed the rise of the huge Roman Empire that happened sometime during sixty four BC up to seventy AD. This was followed by the fall of Jerusalem when Pompey invaded which was sometime in sixty three BC. Lastly, the angel predicted the death of yet again one of the big kings that would rule the world which is none other than the great Julius Caesar.
The thing about the last chapter, which is chapter twelve, is that there are a few ways of interpreting it. Firstly, it could be the depiction of the coming of Jesus Christ as well as the resurrection after the cross leading to a new kingdom of Israel. From there, many struggles and tribulations would come until the Christ returns.
On the other hand, Christian millennialism would interpret this chapter as the restoration of Israel in the present day. The end of chapter ten could also interpret the rise of the Antichrist in which he will be one of the big four princes mentioned in the previous chapters taking over the world. Of course, the Antichrist would also fall signifying that the Messiah will come back.
This is an extremely interesting book because it contains a vision or prediction that can give present day researchers clues on end times. While the interpretations may still vary, the whole point that wars were already predicted before they happened even during that time gives hope to more possible clues found in the Bible about the future. As what most Christians believe, the end is definitely near and the Messiah, along with the heavenly host would return eventually and take down the Antichrist.
