The Fourth Kingdom in Daniel

Daniel 2 and Daniel 7 both place their emphasis on a fourth kingdom that will challenge God’s purposes like no other kingdom in history. While most commentators agree on the identity of the first three kingdoms in Daniel 2 and Daniel 7, the identity of the fourth kingdom in these two chapters has been the subject of much debate. However, when we consider both chapters in context to each other and examine what the Scripture plainly says, the identity of the fourth kingdom becomes more clear. Given how much emphasis Daniel places on this kingdom and the significant events he associates with it, it is important that we understand this kingdom. In this session we develop an overview of the kingdom by looking at what Daniel 2 and Daniel 7 specifically says about the timing and the nature of this kingdom.
