Daniel 7–12

Daniel’s Prophetic Dreams and Visions

Daniel 7–12 contains the record of several of Daniel’s visions about what was going to happen to his people, the house of Israel, and to the world. As the table below shows, some of Daniel’s visions had the same meaning as Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in Daniel 2. The Lord has not revealed to us the meaning of all that Daniel saw.
