Who was the little horn of Daniel 7?

For generations, many Christians have identified Nero as the primary fulfillment of the beastly ruler who persecutes the saints. But does the text actually point somewhere else?

In this episode of The Millennial Medic, Jacob Glass examines Daniel's fourth beast, the ten horns, the Roman Empire, and the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. Drawing connections between Daniel 7, Revelation 13, Revelation 17, and the Jewish War, he argues that Nero fits the wounded head and the number 666—but not the little horn itself. Jacob compares interpretations from John Calvin, Jay Rogers, and Phil Kayser while exploring the role of Titus, the siege of Jerusalem, and the spiritual powers operating behind earthly kingdoms.

Topics include:

• Daniel 7 explained

• The fourth beast of Daniel

• The little horn prophecy

• Nero and 666

• Titus and the destruction of Jerusalem

• Revelation 13 and Revelation 17

• The Roman Empire in biblical prophecy

• Partial preterism and eschatology

• A.D. 70 and the fall of Jerusalem

Whether you agree or disagree, this study will challenge common assumptions about one of the most debated prophecies in Scripture.

On this week’s Prison Pulpit I talk to my good friend, Pastor Dan, about the death of his adult daughter on the mission field, and how to pray for others who go through similarly devastating circumstances.

Will there really be a Third Temple built in Jerusalem before the return of Christ? Many Christians believe Ezekiel 40–48 predicts a future physical temple that must be rebuilt before the end times unfold. But is that what Ezekiel was actually pointing toward?

In Episode #6 of Top 10 Most Controversial Verses: Eschatology Edition, George Sayour examines one of the most debated prophetic subjects in Scripture. Looking closely at Ezekiel’s temple vision, the promises of God dwelling with His people, the words of Jesus in John 2, and the imagery of Revelation, this episode explores whether the prophet was describing a future building—or something far greater. Could Ezekiel’s vision ultimately point to Christ and His people rather than a reconstructed temple of stone?

Ditch Big Tech for good. Visit MARK37.COM/LIBERTY

America's 250th birthday brought more than fireworks. President Trump escalated his war of words against communism; the White House released a sweeping report accusing the Smithsonian of promoting anti-American ideology; the DOJ unveiled a major blueprint to restore religious liberty; and RFK Jr. moved to end COVID-era liability protections for vaccine makers. On this episode of The Sentinel Report, Alex Newman breaks down what these developments mean, plus the latest on trade, surveillance, homeschooling, and the biggest stories the legacy media would rather you miss.

Later, four outstanding guests join Newman: former Iranian Revolutionary Guard member turned Christian leader Mohamad Faridi on Iran, Islam, and the hope of the Gospel; Lauren Gideon of Classical Conversations on the shocking imprisonment of homeschooling parents in Brazil and the growing global assault on parental rights; Sean Patrick Tario of MARK37 on digital privacy, surveillance, and reclaiming your freedom from Big Tech; and Heritage Foundation Senior Fellow Mike Gonzalez on the White House's explosive Smithsonian report and the battle over America's history and identity. You won't want to miss it.

What does godly leadership actually look like? In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing examines two dangerous extremes: tyrannical control and passive neglect. Looking at Adam, Eli, Saul, Nehemiah, Moses, and ultimately Jesus Christ, Corey shows that biblical leadership is neither domineering nor absent—it is sacrificial service exercised with godly authority. True leaders protect, guide, confront, encourage, and serve, following the example of the Good Shepherd who laid down His life for His sheep.

In this 4th of July reflection, Pastor George Sayour explores liberty as a central theme of Scripture—from creation and the fall to Exodus and the freedom secured in Jesus Christ. True freedom is not freedom from all boundaries, but freedom to live as God created us to live—no longer slaves to sin, but sons and heirs through Christ. George also reflects on how Christian truth shaped America’s founding principles: worship, conscience, government under God, and ordered liberty.
