Toward the end of this dream we read: (KJV)  Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Even though this portion of Daniel is written in high Syriac (Aramaic), it is reasonable to begin by presuming that this strikingly similar idiom would indicate the same factor that we discovered earlier in the Hebrew idiom, so let's calculate what AD year this problem would then indicate. Since 552 is BC, we have to subtract it from our total of 2500 years, to arrive at our AD date. Please click on the button that corresponds to your calculations.
