Today, we explore Daniel chapter 2, which I call “the ABCs of prophecy”—another one of the most foundational chapters for understanding Bible prophecy. This chapter provides a complete panorama from Daniel’s day to Christ’s Millennial Reign through Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of a great statue. The statue represents four successive Gentile kingdoms during the “times of the Gentiles” when Israel is under foreign domination. The head of gold represents Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar, the chest and arms of silver represent the Persian Empire, the belly and thighs of bronze represent Greece under Alexander, and the legs of iron represent the Roman Empire. The feet of iron and clay with ten toes represent a future reunited Roman Empire ruled by ten kings simultaneously—possibly emerging from today’s European Union. A supernatural stone (Christ) will smash this final kingdom at His Second Coming and establish His Millennial Kingdom that fills the earth. This final victory isn’t a gradual spiritual conquest, but a sudden, cataclysmic destruction followed by Christ’s literal, visible earthly reign.

The Persian Storm: Bible Prophecy and Iran’s Last Threat to Israel

In The Persian Storm, biblical prophecy expert Dr. Mark Hitchcock shows you exactly why Iran will continue to be dangerous, tracing the striking link between today’s volatility and ancient Scripture. With a Scripture-first approach—without hype or sensationalism—Hitchcock helps you explore the prophecies involving Persia (modern-day Iran) and its long, defiant posture toward Israel, giving you a grounded way to understand what matters and why. You’ll learn how to:

* Understand key Bible prophecies with greater clarity and confidence, and the role of the United States and Israel

* Evaluate current events through a steady biblical lens (without chasing headlines)

* Live with greater peace and readiness instead of fear and confusion

* Stay spiritually alert as you anticipate the return of Jesus

As you explore the biblical books of Jeremiah and Ezekiel, where the Bible records many predictions about the region known as Mesopotamia or Persia, you’ll dig deeper into ancient prophecies that will shed light on important questions for the present day, like:

* Do these interpretations still hold true today?

* What about a possible invasion of Israel?

* Does Iran still plan to wipe Israel off the map?

* And what about the role of the United States in Bible prophecy?

The Persian Storm is a sober, hope-filled guide to help you discern prophetic truth and face the future with confidence—because prophecy is meant to prepare you, not scare you.
