DANIEL
The Apocalypse in Daniel.
DANIEL foretold the establishment of a kingdom which shall be a great military power in its beginning, and of perpetual continuance: that it should conquer all kingdoms extant in the Latter Days; that until then "the Kingdom of Men" would bear rule over all the earth -- until seven times, 2,520 years, should be completed; which is the age of Nebuchadnezzar's Image from the first year of his reign, B.C. 608.
That these two kingdoms, the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Men, should be antagonist kingdoms in all their elements and principles; that till the end of a period of 1,260 years, the Kingdom of Men should "prevail against the Saints," or Heirs of the Kingdom of God; that it should also destroy the power of the Jews, and rule over Palestine to the end of that period; that when this end should arrive, the power of God should be Apocalypsed, or revealed, in the person of Michael, the Prince of princes, who shall appear to deliver Israel, and awake the dead; that in effecting this deliverance, the thrones, or kingdoms of this world, shall be cast down, and the Kingdom of Men transferred to the Saints, who shall possess it under the whole heaven ad-ahlmah, "during an Aion," or Millennium, we-ad ahlam ahlmayah "even for the Aion of the Aions," or "a season and a time" (ch. 2:44; 4:15, 16; 8:24; 7:21, 22, 25; 12:1, 2; 7:9, 18, 27, 12).
