It must apply to nations that exist during the time of the Antichrist’s Kingdom all the way until the Coming of Jesus.

Therefore, this verse cannot apply to these ancient nations. If being prolonged “for a season and time” applied to ancient Babylon, Media/Persia, and Greece, then all three would be prolonged for the same time, but two are gone thousands of years ago, and one remains. Greece exists but it is in an economic down-spiral. This is what makes us look at modern nations to be considered rather than ancient Babylon, ancient Media/Persia, and ancient Greece. Therefore, the lion, bear, and leopard kingdoms must still exist during the reign of the Antichrist. AFTER the Antichrist Kingdom is destroyed by God, which we know to be at the Coming of Jesus at Armageddon, we see this verse:ĭaniel 7:12 KJV As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. Next, in verses 7, 8, the Kingdom of the Antichrist is described. We need to understand that the bear, Russia, is on the move! Proof One – After the Antichrist is Destroyed, These Kingdoms Still Existĭaniel 7:1-6 describes the rising of the lion, bear, and leopard. Daniel 7 is something we need to understand for today because we are living in the days of the lion, bear, and leopard. They are separate because Daniel 2 deals primarily with an image of ancient nations, but the symbolic animals of Daniel 7 are dealing with modern times, which I will prove in this article.

If it were true that Daniel 7 is ancient Babylon, ancient Media/Persia, and ancient Greece, then it is nothing more than a repeat of Daniel 2 – Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of the great image. But now we can see the modern-day world and what the prophecies say about it accurately because we are now in the end times. This is based on old theology and commentaries that tried to make sense of the world as they saw it then. Tradition says the lion, bear, and leopard of Daniel 7 are Babylon, Media/Persia, and Greece.
