Setting The Stage with Daniel 7:14

First, Daniel 7:14 is a Messianic prophecy referring to Christ, not the Antichrist. It is the victorious reign of the Lord portrayed in the text. The fourth, ten-horned beast (ancient Rome) was prophesied to dominate the ancient world, which it did, (Daniel 7:23) and was so ruling in the time of Christ, (Luke 2:1).

Secondly, the little horn (first century national Israel) gave their allegiance to Rome, thus flirted with the beast, conspired with Rome to murder Christ. Through the power of that allegiance fleshly Israel later persecuted the saints, --Christians, (Daniel 7:25) until Christ, the Ancient of Days, came and destroyed Israel and the Beast (Rome) in A.D. 70.

Matthew 24:30 is Jesus
