The Times of the Gentiles

Daniel 7 marks the start of the second major section of the Book – Prophetical. In the first half of Daniel (1-6), Daniel interprets the dreams of others. Now he receives his own visions directly from God. This chapter is a parallel to chapter 2, giving another overview of what Christ referred to as the "times of the Gentiles" (Luke 21:24) with additional details, particularly in relation to the rise of Antichrist.
