For the past 2500 years, many have come up with different interpretations for Daniel 9:24-27. Much of what I am going to present is therefore not new. However, I myself have struggled with this prophecy for the past 12 years. I have read just about every popular interpretation out there, but still something has always been missing. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it until last week.
This teaching is meant to give a basic understanding of how visions and dreams work in relation to their interpretation. A lot of prophets have become discouraged and others have been labeled false prophets simply because they lacked an understanding of a few principles.
Acts 2:17 Living Bible (TLB)
17 ‘In the last days,’ God said, ‘I will pour out my Holy Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men dream dreams.

SATAN’S SEAT/ SATANS THRONE
Jesus explains…
Revelation 13:2 (NRSV) And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And the dragon gave it his power and his throne and great authority.

Revelation 4:1 (NKJV) After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”
Daniel 2:44-45 (WEB)
44 “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, nor will its sovereignty be left to another people; but it will break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it will stand forever.

A more detailed analysis of the visions of Daniel is given as separate teachings. This teaching assumes you have already read them.
A lot of people read Daniel and Revelation and when they see all these beasts and horns they shudder. What’s all this about? People have made the assumption that a nation or king that is seen as a beast, is somewhat more wicked than the rest. It’s not about being the most evil person. It’s about how they relate to Israel and the Christ. None of the scriptures in the bible will ever make sense until we see how Jesus Christ fits in to it.
The book of Revelation is the only book in the bible that is directly written by Jesus Christ; John is a mere scribe in the same way that Baruch was a scribe for Jeremiah.
Ever since Azusa, the world has seen a rise in the number of prophets. In fact, we have more prophets now than there has ever been in the world since creation. Think about that for a moment. This office is riddled with controversy, and many doctrines have been formulated and preached regarding the status and role of the prophet in the life of a believer. This teaching seeks to bring a balanced, scriptural perspective on the subject. By the end of this we will see what exactly is the role of a prophet in the church and life of a born again believer.
