Daniel 11:21–45 traces the rise of a ruthless ruler—first fulfilled historically in Antiochus IV—whose actions foreshadow a later, greater tyrant: the Antichrist. The passage describes deceit, political manipulation, military campaigns, persecution of God’s people, and a climactic final conflict. It shows how history previews future prophecy and affirms God’s sovereignty over both past and future rulers.

Daniel 10 records Daniel mourning and fasting for three weeks when a radiant heavenly figure appears by the Tigris River. Daniel collapses at the sight, and an angel strengthens him, explaining that his arrival was delayed by the “prince of Persia” until Michael came to help. The messenger tells Daniel he has come to reveal future conflicts involving Persia and Greece. The chapter exposes the unseen spiritual warfare behind earthly kingdoms and prepares Daniel for the vision that follows in chapters 11–12.

Daniel 9 presents Daniel’s prayer of confession for Israel’s sins and his plea for restoration.

Daniel 8 records Daniel’s vision of a ram with two horns (symbolizing the Medo-Persian Empire) and a goat with a prominent horn (representing Greece and its first king, Alexander the Great). The goat’s great horn is broken, and four arise in its place—referring to the division of Alexander’s empire. From one of these comes a “little horn”—a fierce, blasphemous ruler (fulfilled in Antiochus Epiphanes and foreshadowing the Antichrist)—who desecrates the sanctuary and persecutes God’s people until divine judgment brings his downfall and the sanctuary is restored.

In Daniel chapter 7, Daniel sees four beasts rise from the sea: lion with eagle wings, bear with three ribs, four-headed leopard, and a terrifying ten-horned beast with iron teeth. A little horn uproots three, speaks boastfully. The Ancient of Days judges on a fiery throne; books open, beast slain. The Son of Man receives everlasting dominion; saints inherit the kingdom. The vision foretells empires and end-time victory for God’s people.

In Daniel chapter 5, King Belshazzar holds a lavish feast using the sacred vessels from the Jerusalem temple, mocking God. A hand appears and writes mysterious words on the wall: Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin. Daniel interprets the writing as God’s judgment—Belshazzar’s reign has been weighed, found wanting, and will end. That very night, Babylon falls to the Medes and Persians, fulfilling divine prophecy.
