Daniel 7:24,25 - He will speak against the Most High

7:24,25

So Daniel is told that ten kingdoms will arise from the fourth beast. This does not necessarily mean there will actually be ten kingdoms. Rather it signifies completeness, so the fourth beast will establish what seems to be total dominance of the world. Then another kingdom will arise, who will get rid of three of the kingdoms. He will blaspheme against the Lord and oppress God’s people. He will also seek to change the “times and laws”. This means he will seek to have total control over nature itself. Of course, he cannot have such control. We see this today with those who say we change gender, which is essentially a lie. This sort of behaviour, of seeking or claiming to have control over nature, will be applied to various aspects of life. The supposed control will always be a sham. “The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time”. This vision does not make easy reading!
