Transcription

"I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke; I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed and given to the burning flame. As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.

I saw the night Visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he, came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. And to him was given dominion and glory and kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.

(Book of Daniel 7:9-14)

The man being mentioned in the above verses of scripture is the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) of Arabia; the Prophet Daniel is describing the Prophet Muhammad as he is being raised through the seven (7) heavens by the Angel Gabriel. The Prophet Daniel was being blessed by Allah to see into the future. The Seven stars symbolize the seven Revealers or Prophets that God sent to the world to guide the people of the world, and the candlesticks symbolize the world religions as we mentioned previously.

The one who is like unto the Son of Man in the above verses of scriptural is none other than the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the Ancient of Days is the Angel Michael as previously mentioned. The one like unto the Son of Man and the Comforter or one and the same Muhammad is calling all of the congregations back to the root knowledge Al-Islaam (peace/truth). Pure monotheism is at the root of all the major religions of the world. The event John the Revelator is describing is happening as we explained earlier during the Prophet Muhammad's Isra (Night Journey) and his Mi'raj (Ascension) into the seven heavens in the year 620 AD.
