The Shadow of Antichrist (8 of 11)
Series: Daniel
Zach Terry
Daniel 8
CONTEXT: Remember last week we said: The book of Revelation is the end time with Christ as the Key figure. It is the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Well, Daniel 7-12 is the end time period with Anti Christ as the Key figure. So in many ways the two books overlap.
Here in Chapter 8 we read a prophecy concerning a time that many Evangelicals are highly unfamiliar with. This prophecy is fulfilled during the time we call the inter-testimental period.
That is the 400 years between the prophecy of Malachi and the Gospel of Matthew. 400 where God was silent, SORT OF.
You see, we don't believe that any authoritative revelation occurred during this period, that is the kind that would included in the Canon of Scripture. But that does not mean that God wasn't working. He was very much working, this was no 400 year Sabbatical.
As a matter of fact - Daniel prophecies about some of God's work that occurred between Malachi and Matthew.
Now the Catholics had a section of books between the Old and New Testament that we call the, ''apocrypha''. They consider it secondary, or less authoritative than the Old or New Testaments.
But the prophecy of Daniel 8 IS SCRIPTURE, it is AUTHORITATIVE. We all agree on that and it also covers this intertestimental time.
NOW - this chapter is consider TYPICO-PROPHETIC. That is - it gives us a historical figure that we can watch and wrap our minds around who will serve as a TYPE of the final person of ANTICHRIST.
We see this all through scripture:
Isaac lays helpless before Abraham - as a type of a far greater Son who would be sacrificed.
David fights Goliath - as a type of one greater than David who would come and fight a greater Goliath.
Even here in Daniel we see Daniel cast into a pit of death yet come out alive as a type of a far greater than Daniel who would one day come. ?
There are times when you see a prophet describing an earthly ...
