This term is significant within biblical eschatology and is often associated with the unfolding of God's divine plan and judgment in the end times.<br><br><b>Biblical Context</b><br><br>In <a href="/bsb/daniel/8.htm">Daniel 8</a>, the prophet Daniel receives a vision concerning a ram and a goat, which symbolizes the Medo-Persian and Greek empires, respectively. The vision extends beyond these historical empires to a future period of tribulation and judgment. <a href="/daniel/8-19.htm">Daniel 8:19</a> states, "Behold, I will make known to you what will happen in the latter time of the indignation, for it concerns the appointed time of the end" . This indicates a period when God's wrath or indignation will be fully expressed against sin and rebellion.<br><br><b>Interpretation</b><br><br>The "latter time of the indignation" is often interpreted as a reference to the end times, a period characterized by increased turmoil and divine judgment. This period is seen as part of God's sovereign plan to bring history to its culmination, where evil is judged, and righteousness is established. The indignation refers to God's righteous anger against sin and the rebellion of nations and individuals who oppose His will.<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, the latter time of the indignation underscores the holiness and justice of God. It serves as a reminder that while God is patient and longsuffering, there is an appointed time when His judgment will be executed. This period is also seen as a time of purification and preparation for the establishment of God's eternal kingdom.<br><br><b>Relation to Other Prophetic Scriptures</b><br><br>The concept of the latter time of the indignation is related to other prophetic scriptures that speak of the end times. For instance, the Book of Revelation describes a series of judgments that will be poured out upon the earth, culminating in the return of Christ and the establishment of His kingdom. Similarly, the Olivet Discourse in <a href="/bsb/matthew/24.htm">Matthew 24-25</a> provides insight into the events leading up to the end of the age.<br><br><b>Historical and Future Fulfillment</b><br><br>Historically, some interpreters see partial fulfillment of this prophecy in the events surrounding the rise and fall of empires, such as the persecution of the Jewish people under Antiochus IV Epiphanes. However, many conservative scholars believe that the ultimate fulfillment of this prophecy is yet future, pointing to a time of great tribulation preceding the second coming of Christ.<br><br><b>Practical Implications for Believers</b><br><br>For believers, the latter time of the indignation serves as both a warning and a source of hope. It is a warning to remain vigilant and faithful, understanding that God's judgment is certain. At the same time, it is a source of hope, as it assures believers that God is in control and that His justice will ultimately prevail. This period calls for perseverance and trust in God's promises, as believers anticipate the fulfillment of His redemptive plan.</div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><a name="sub"
