    Dan.8. 8-10 "the four winds of heaven"

    "And for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven./And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land./And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them."

    The Spirit presents a specific historical event(vv.20-22). The phrase 'but not in his power' is the spring board for the latter days where we have the seven beasts, " And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition" and it is in parenthesis. (Rev.17.11) A similar devise we find with 70 weeks Dan.9.26-27, notice the expression,'but not for himself' In these two phrases we have the switchover from the world of the ungodly world to the four winds of heaven associated with Jesus Christ. It is what the 'terrible crystal' signifies over the head of the four living creatures.' The little horn comes under the judgment. By the same token 'but not for himself'." Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness." (Dan.9.24)

    The pleasant land and the holy city is what God promised Abraham and God shall never go back on his promise. " For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God." (Heb.11.10)

    "And it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them./ Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host," The beast which was and which was not is referred here. Rev.12 we have the dragon, " And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth:"(Rev.12.8) This 'eighth wonder' has his agenda which he shall break in the middle of the week and how far CUFI shall go on?
