I delay in answering because quite honestly I haven't really studied
Daniel 8 yet.

On a different, but similar note, I read (skimming) a couple of Joel Richardson books. Inspire on his possibility of the Islamic Caliphate being the center, not the Romans, I came with these interpretation ideas for Revelation 13 and 17 regarding the 7 headed beast (Joel says the seventh is the Islamic Caliphate and the eighth is the revival, which doesn't make sense to me)

The problem I have with the theory is that the Islamic Caliphate is already in consideration during the later trumpet judgments. I would have to look at the theory and study it out. But to suggest the fourth beast in
Daniel 7, the fourth kingdom in
Daniel 2, is the Islamic Caliphate, and thus to pretty much pass over the Roman Empire in prophetic silence seems incongruent with the rest of prophecy. Prophecy isn't about "the big events of world history" so much as about "the big events of history that affect Israel and God's Plans for His people". And the fourth beast, the Little Horn persecutions, etc which are described in
Daniel 7 happen to fit the history of the Imperial and Papal Roman power.
But like I said, I would have to look at the theory to study it. Is there a link to any articles written by the author that explain his interpretation?
