The "little horn" of Daniel 7 (11:36-45) The great tribulation (12:1) The Resurrections (12:2-3) The last message to Daniel (12:4-13)
4. The Vision of the Glory of God- Daniel 10:1-21 Notice the Vision Comes when he is fasting. v.1-3 When we are in tune with God through prayer and fasting, He will answer us. Joel 2:12 brought about Joel 2:28 The Lord Shows up in a vision v. 4-9 Notice the correlation to Revelation 1:12-16 Spiritual Warfare begins to take place v.10-21 Compare this to Revelation 2-3 with the Seven Churches

7. The Little Horn of Daniel 8- Antiochus Epiphanes 11:21-35 We have already met this wicked man (8:9-14) who in his character and activities is a picture of the future Antichrist.
8. The Little Horn of Daniel 8- Antiochus Epiphanes 11:21-35 According to verses 33-35, there was a small group of faithful Jews who opposed the godlessness of Antiochus and trusted God to enable them to fight back. A Jewish priest named Mattathias, with his five sons, gathered an army and were able to fight back. His son Judas, nicknamed Maccabeus ("the hammerer"), was one of the heroes of this revolt. On December 14, 165, the temple was purified and the altar dedicated. (See Daniel 8:9-14, 23-25.) The Jews celebrate this occasion annually as the Feast of Lights (Hanukkah).

14. The End Times- The Little Horn of Daniel 7- 11:36-45 Verse 39-46 When Antichrist moves into the land of Israel and sets up his image in the Jewish temple and declares himself the ruler and god of the whole world, not everybody will bow down to his will. He comes to power through war and is destroyed by war. These verses begin to set the stage for the Battle of Armageddon in Revelation 16:12-16, 19:11-21
15. The Tribulation and Resurrection 12:1-3 At that time v.1 Refers to the Tribulation period mentioned in the previous chapter Resurrections This refers to Revelation 20
