So last evening we had some soup that I had made the night before...I have to say in all honesty..something was missing. It had potatoes, black beans, chick peas, a can of chopped tomatoes with garlic and basil, a 16 ounces of vegetable stock, and then I added three handfuls of brown rice pasta...it just tastes like it is missing something.
Well I will have to work on figuring that out, maybe at lunch time.
Now onto Daniel 8...this chapter starts out with a vision that takes place during the third year of King Belshazzar, and this was when Babylon was firmly in power, and Daniel was standing by the River Ulai in Shushan, in the citadel on the kings business. And Daniel saw a ram standing there and it had two horns and one horn was higher than the other. And the ram was pushing north and south, and west and not allowing anything to get ahead of it, the ram did as it wanted and no other could get by it and it became stronger...now this ram represented the Medo-Persian Empire and the reason that one horn is taller than the other is because other Persians where bigger and stronger than the Medes. Although there maybe some that doubt the the ram as representing the Persians, apparently the rams head was stamped on their coins and the ruler carried a rams head as he lead his army, and a rams head was also incorporated into the rulers headdress so this would pretty clearly point to Persians.
As we go on with our reading in Daniel verse five Daniel goes onto say that a billy goat appears and it had a single horn (in my mind I see a goat with a horn like a unicorn), and it comes with great force, coming across the earth without touching the ground, at the ram and the goat breaks off the rams horns and with no horns the ram is powerless and the goat tramples it and assumes the rams power. And as the Goat got greater and greater his single horn broke off and four horns came in it's place and they pointed to the four winds of heaven. We also know from history that the goat is representative of Greece. And the Greek Empire came at the Medo-Persian Empire, somewhat out of no where, although it was from the west and Alexander the Great was the ruler. Now when the single horn broke off, this represents the end of Alexander's rule. And the empire was divided up between four (the four horns) leading generals of the Greek empire. It wasn't divided up by Alexander it was divided up by the generals.
We will continue with this in verse nine, tomorrow. So go and be a blessing...I will do this as well.
