The epistle of Second Timothy is considered to be one of Paul’s most personal letters. He is writing during his second and final imprisonment to his trusted and beloved son in the faith. Paul knows his execution is imminent. His concern is not for himself, but for Timothy, who must continue in the spiritual battle. His theme, “the good soldier of Jesus Christ” follows that of first Timothy, “Fight the good fight” (1Ti 1:18; 1Ti 6:12).

Daniel #17
Time frames in Daniel: a week (Dan 9:27), "time of distress" (Dan 12:1), "time, times, and half time" (Dan 7:25), "42 months" (Rev 12:6-14, Rev 13:5), "Great Tribulation" (Mat 24:15). Daniel Chapter 8 - two beasts - Medo-Persia and Greece. The vision is given (Dan 8:1-14), then the interpretation (Dan 8:15-27). Chronologically, Daniel Chapter 8 comes before Chapter 5 (Dan 8:1-2). The two horns are analogous to two silver arms, the bear with one side larger. Babylon, Libya, and Egypt - the three power alliance - were the ribs the bear crushed (Dan 7:5). The ram with two horns represents Medo-Persia. The he-goat "with notable horn" represents Alexander and Greece defeating Medo-Persia (Dan 8:3-7). Four generals took control of the Grecian kingdom after Alexander died. The little horn comes out from one of them (Dan 8:8-9).
