This
series of illustrations is designed to create a visual
reference tool for some of the symbols found in Daniel's
visions. Because many of us learn more easily through
visual means, illustrations serve a very useful purpose
when trying to understand not only what Daniel saw,
but also what those symbols were depicting. This
is necessary particularly because the symbolic imagery
in Daniel is often quite detailed and somewhat foreign
to our experience. These two factors make the symbols
in Daniel difficult for us to envision and keep straight,
which therefore, can make it difficult for us to grasp
what these symbols depict. By representing these abstract
concepts in a visual format, it becomes easier for us
to sort and relate which traits and features are being
associated with each entity Daniel symbolizes. For more
information regarding consistency when interpretating
the end times symbolism in Daniel and Revelation please

Symbols."
