Russian Bear in Daniel 7 Take Ukraine, Georgia and Belarus? "Get up and eat a lot of meat"

The book of Daniel begins with Daniel in captivity. Could this mean that martial law is imminent?

Was Sarah Palin reading Daniel when she predicted that Russia would invade the Ukraine?

In Daniel 2, the king had a dream. He was impressed with the importance of it, but he couldn’t remember it. He was about to execute his wise men who claimed to know the gods, because they could not tell him the dream. He included Daniel, but he asked for time because he said that the God of heaven (Creator) could make the dream known. and its definition.

God revealed to Daniel the dream of the king of Babylon and its meaning that is expanded in Daniel 7 where four kingdoms are represented by a lion, a bear, a leopard and a dragon. Daniel’s dream near the end of Babylonian supremacy (606-538 BC).

The instruction given to Daniel was: “These great beasts, which are four, are four kings [kingdoms] that shall come forth out of the earth.” Daniel 7:17 is in the context of the end-time judgment, verses 9-18. At the time of Daniel’s dream, Babylon was declining, so the vision of “four kings [kingdoms] which shall arise” again supports an end time application.

The bear had three ribs in its mouth. Could it be Ukraine, Georgia and Belarus? “Rise and eat much meat” seems ominous. Rise up, because Russia has been down, but clearly has world power.

In historical application, the four beasts represented Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. From the fourth beast came a little horn that became big, spoke words of blasphemy against God, persecuted the saints, and changed times and laws.

The Protestant Reformers were united in their belief that the images conformed to the papacy that arose from the Roman Empire as the little horn arose from the beast. They considered one of the Pope’s titles, “Lord God the Pope”, to be blasphemy. Conservative historians say that between 50 and 100 million Christians died in protest during that “Dark Age”, and there is no denying the change in times (Gregorian calendar) and laws (the catechism removes the second commandment against the worship of images and divide the tenth to keep ten). ) Daniel 7:25.

It is in the context of the great words of the little horn that the judgment begins and the kingdom is given to the “Son of man”, verses 9-14. This article is a call to consider the words of Christ that could refer to martial law when he said: “He who reads [Daniel] understand…” Mark 13:14.
