Daniel 2, 7, 8–9, 11–12 and Revelation 12–14 laid out as five passes over one history — Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, pagan Rome, divided Europe and papal Rome, then judgment and the kingdom.
pass 1 — more detail
pass 2 — more detail
pass 3 — more detail
pass 4 — more detail
pass 5 — more detail
Each pass covers the same ground and adds detail — the visions do not describe different histories, they zoom in on one.

Daniel 7 beside Revelation 13
Trait by trait, the sea beast of Revelation 13 gathers up Daniel 7's lion, bear, leopard, ten horns, blaspheming mouth, war on the saints and 1260-year span.
Daniel 7
Four beasts and the little horn
Revelation 13
The composite beast from the sea
Rises from the sea
And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
And I saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns.
Leopard, bear, lion
The first was like a lion... a second, like to a bear... another, like a leopard.
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion.
Ten horns
A fourth beast... and it had ten horns.
Having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns.
A blaspheming mouth
And he shall speak great words against the most High.
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies.
War on the saints
The same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them.
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them.
The same 1260-year span
A time and times and the dividing of time.
And power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Judgment ends it
But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion.
He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity.
Seven traits, matched line for line: Revelation 13 gathers Daniel 7's beasts into one power and carries the same 1260-year span.

Daniel and Revelation in ten words
Five visions on each side, welded together: statue and candlesticks, beasts and showbread, sanctuary and incense, cross and gospel, king and rescue.
CANDLESTICKS
The outline vision, then the light-bearing church walking through the same history.
SHOWBREAD
Judgment opens in Daniel 7; the sealed book is opened before the throne in Revelation 5.
The 2300 days end in the cleansing of the sanctuary; the trumpets open at the altar of incense.
The centre of the seventy weeks is Calvary; the centre of Revelation is the everlasting gospel.
Daniel 11:40–12:2 and Revelation 15–22 narrate one final crisis and one deliverance.

The time prophecies on one line
Seventy weeks, 2300 days and the 1260 years measured on a single scale, so the shared 457 BC starting point and the 1798 and 1844 termini are visible together.
490 days = 490 years · Daniel 9:24-27
457 BC decree, Messiah anointed AD 27, cut off in the midst of the week AD 31, close AD 34.
Go deeper: The 70 weeks — 490 years2300 days = 2300 years · Daniel 8:14
The seventy weeks are cut off from the same starting decree; the longer line closes in 1844.
1260 days = 1260 years · Daniel 7:25; Revelation 13:5
One span given five times over in Daniel and Revelation.
Symbolic days stand for years (Numbers 14:34; Ezekiel 4:6). The seventy weeks are cut off from the front of the 2300 days, which is why one decree dates both lines.
