" This verse talks about Daniel's vision about a terrible and strong fourth animal with ten horns, which devoured and destroyed. This animal is interpreted as a powerful and oppressive kingdom that will rise in the future.

" These verses talk about the man of sin who will manifest himself as an opposite figure to God, sitting in the temple of God and wanting to look God.
