The book of Daniel is one of the great books of the Bible. All of them are great, but if you want to know what is going on in the world and how the ending is going to be, then; you have got to read this book. From the idol of the dream of Nebuchadnezzar, to the beasts and visions of Daniel, and what child who attended Sunday School did not admire Daniel and his friends surviving the night in the lion's den, all this and much more are in this book. I had done this book before, but; then, I concentrated more on Daniel. Now, because of Gaddafi, who is not on a league with Nebuchaddnezzar, but who acted so unreasonably like trying to be a king of old, trying to disregard the rest of humanity sharing the world with him, I have looked more at Nebuchadnezzar. He was the first king, the first world dictator of the first world empire which is mentioned in the book of Daniel. His was the Babylon Empire, now known as Iraq. Following his empire came the Medo-Perisan Empire. Then, enters Alexander the Great and his Greek Empire. Last, but not least is the Roman Empire, which still rules the world in a broken manner, but very much alive. It has never completely died. And it is going to be revived for a short time in the near future. The Europeon Union led by possibly Germany will be it. This four empires are the only ones dealt with by God. The others are just fractions of the orginial. Daniel did not mentioned any other empires in his book by name or locality.

I have been interested in the Bible for many years. I have been saved by Jesus Christ since the age of eleven. I am now sixty-seven. I did not study the Bible until the birth of my Downs Syndrome son, Geraldo, when I was thirty-five. Only in my LORD could I find comfort and consolation. So, I pray there are like minded souls out there. Leave a comment, no matter if you have positive or negative thoughts about what you read.
