+- ["the great sea"](Dan%207.md#2) is either the Mediterranean Sea or figuratively the Gentile kings and/or kingdoms like in [Isaiah 57:20](Isa%2057.md#20) and [Revelation 17:15](Rev%2017.md#15)  
+- [the lion with eagle's wings](Dan%207.md#4) is believed to be Babylon, the grand ruler of both land and air  
+- [the bear](Dan%207.md#5) is the Medo-Persian army  
+	- the raised side is the stronger of the two armies, the Persians.  
+	- the three ribs represents the 3 kingdoms that they devoured -- Lydia, Egypt, and Babylon.  
+- [the leopard](Dan%207.md#6) represents the Greek army who rapidly conquered the world  
+	- 4 represents universality  
+	- the wings represent speed  
+	- The Greeks developed better, faster footwear that had ankle support  
+	- Nike comes from Nikeah, the Greek god of victory  
+	- leopards can reach 34 mi/hr in a straight out run  
+	- the 4 heads might have described governments (the four generals who took over after Alexander the Great)  
+- Daniel's works appeared in the Septuagint, which was finished in 325 B.C. meaning it was impossible for him to be writing in 125 B.C.  
+- [the fourth beast](Dan%207.md#7) is the Roman Empire  
+	- horns represent strength or power, they are used for battle  
+	- 3 of the horns are ripped off, as if they were completely destroyed  
+	- the little horn may represent the Antichrist, it becomes the greatest of the 10  
+- Pastor Jay's opinions  
+	- Babylon  
+		- they don't care about winged lions, they like bulls and dragons  
+		- the few lions that have showed up are normal lions  
+	- England has a thing for winged lions  
+	- Medo-Persian army  
+		- bears are not connected  
+		- they've conquered a lot more than 3 nations  
+	- Russia has used bears for centuries in their art, culture, and political writings

+		- leopards are not connected either, they like rams and goats  
+		- they only had 2 great kingdoms come out from them  
+		- "they didn't have a long-lasting influence"  
+		- rarely if ever mentioned as leopards  
+		- leopards don't even live near them

+- The Israelites hadn't made sacrifices in about 50 years  
+## [Dan 9,25-26](Dan%209.md#25)[](Dan%209.md#26)  
+- The decree that matches [verse 25](Dan%209.md#25) is found in [Neh 2](Neh%202.md) after 49 years  
+- 483 years after Neh 2 the Anointed One comes

+- [*The Revelation of Jesus Christ* by John F Walvoord](https://www.amazon.com/Revelation-Jesus-Christ-John-Walvoord/dp/0802473091)  
+- [*The Revelation Record* by Dr. Henry Morris](https://www.amazon.com/Revelation-Record-Scientific-Devotional-Commentary/dp/0842355111/ref=sr_1_1)  
+- Revelation is a Christological book  
+- The 5 most popular view of interpretations:  
+	- **Preterits (past) interpretation:** applies specifically to the problems and persecutions of the early church under the Roman Empire. Revelation was encoded so only Christians at that time would understand it. Preferred by amillennials.  
+	- **Historical interpretation:** the events symbolically described represent chronological historical events up to the coming of Christ. This includes the Roman Catholic System and the pope, the rise of Islam, and the Napoleonic Wars.  
+	- **Futuristic or dispensationalist interpretation:** chapters 4-22 describe events at the end of the church age and uses a lot of symbolism as well as literal.  
+	- **Cyclic interpretation:** combines the previous past, present, and futurist views by using cycles to represent repetition of some events in Revelation  
+	- **Idealistic interpretation:** Revelation is a series of parables and allegories meant to encourage believers  
+- Jesus's ecclesia (church) wasn't mentioned until chapter 22, but the hageos (holy ones) is mentioned  
+- Revelation is the only book that says read me and be blessed  
+## [Revelation 2:1](Revelation%202.md#1)[](Revelation%202.md#2)[](Revelation%202.md#3)[-4](Revelation%202.md#4)  
+- Ephesus is the cold-hearted church, not the loveless one  
+- pretty famous church. Paul spent most of his time here; Aquila, Priscilla, and Apollos were here; young Timothy was a pastor; and John himself taught in there.  
+- the temple of Diana was also in Ephesus  
+- the problem Jesus had with Ephesus is that they had forgotten the zeal they had started with. They had all the work but none of the passion  
+## [Revelation 2:5](Revelation%202.md#5)[](Revelation%202.md#6)[-7](Revelation%202.md#7)  
+- You don't *lose* love, you *abandon* it.  
+- When you don't continue the love you had at first for the Lord you will fall.  
+- J.C. Ryle *Practical Religion*.  
+- When Jesus takes your lampstand and put it away, it doesn't mean you will lose your salvation; it means that He won't use you as a witness for others anymore  
+- Fun fact: Jesus can hate things lol  
+- We don't know who the Nicolaitans are, but there are a few ideas:  
+	- probably a subgroup of Christianity that started right but got off track  
+	- Nicholas, an early deacon of the church in Acts, created his own heresy  
+	- The Greek word nicolaitan is a compound word of nicao ("I conquer you") and laos ("people"). So they would be people who believe in conquering others  
+- Ephesus means "to be accepted"

+<sup><b>5</b></sup> As I was contemplating all this, suddenly a goat with a prominent horn between his eyes came out of the west, crossing the surface of the entire earth without touching the ground. <sup><b>6</b></sup> He came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and rushed at him with furious power. <sup><b>7</b></sup> I saw him approach the ram in a rage against him, and he struck the ram and shattered his two horns. The ram was powerless to stand against him, and the goat threw him to the ground and trampled him, and no one could deliver the ram from his power. <sup><b>8</b></sup> Thus the goat became very great, but at the height of his power, his large horn was broken off, and four prominent horns came up in its place, pointing toward the four winds of heaven. [](Daniel%208.md#6)[](Daniel%208.md#7)  
+
+The single horn between the goat’s eyes represents the first king of Greece, Alexander the Great. It rapidly moved from west to east, and it’s one large horn symbolized Alexander's single leadership. Furthermore, the goat wanted revenge for the Persian attack, and eventually, it took over the entire world before its horn was split into four.[^1]
