Composite
Table: Apocalyptic
Symbols and Historic Empires
This
chart shows the inter-related use of apocalyptic symbols
in Daniel chapters 2, 7, and 8 as well as Revelation
13 and 17. The first five columns from the left are
dedicated to the presentation of these symbols by both
Daniel and John the Apostle. The sixth column (second
to the right) shows the historic progression of world
empires. The seventh column (all the way to the right)
interprets columns 1-6 and shows how they relate to
create an accurate Biblical prophecy of human history
up until the coming of the Messianic kingdom at Jesus
second coming. The rows of the chart compare the symbols
used in each chapter and the empires they describe and
demonstrates how each of these apocalyptic chapters
and the historical record fit each other accurately
and consistently.
