This site is designed to provide you with comprehensive studies on Jesus, discipleship, and biblical Christianity in general. But the overall stress is on Jesus. In him, God has and is bringing His promises to fulfillment. History's decisive moment has occurred already in the Death and Resurrection of His Son.

I am a lifelong student of the Bible. This present effort is intended to share with others what I have learned over that time. Currently, I reside on Whidbey Island in the state of Washington.

The “little horn” is named in two visions. Is it the same figure in each case, or two different individuals?  -  Daniel 7:7-8, 8:9-14 .  The figure called the “ little horn ” figures prominently in Daniel’s visions, and it is explicitly named in the vision of the “ fourth beast ” and that of the “ ram and goat .” It is reasonable to assume both visions refer to the same figure. The historical references in the first vision are enigmatic, in the second, they are explicit. The careful comparison of parallels between the two visions is vital - [ Acropolis Photo by  Cristina Gottardi  on Unsplash ].
