The Scripture makes it very clear that as we focus on purity we experience power from above. Paul stressed this in his final letter to his understudy Timothy. “Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter [i.e., “iniquity”], he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work” (2Ti 2:21). How? The process is simple: God the Father works through the Son. The Son works through the Holy Spirit. The Spirit works through the Word. The Word works through the believer. The believer works through living faith.

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).
