Monday's article, "The End Times According to Daniel, Part 2" by Jack Kelley, will also be linked to the Daily Update page.
 

 

EXCERPT:

Two years after Daniel's vision of the four beasts that we described in chapter 7, he had another vision, this one of a ram and a goat. As we'll see, it was intended to give both him and us more detail on the things to come, because the vision has a dual fulfillment. For Daniel this vision was all in the future, but for us the first fulfillment is now history, assuring the final one, still in our future.
