THX. I look forward to your inputs.
your 'head in the sand' observation caused me to examine my thinking & feelings about why im not too concerned about globalist conspiracies. i didn't think it's something i was trying to ignore or avoid....that shoe just didn't seem to fit, but i wanted to make sure. so, thank you! - for 'making me' study the scripture :).....i think i know why now.
interestingly enough, it's right there where we've been studying! as i went thru it again, i came upon verse 43, in daniel 2. two points impress me from that verse: 1. the mixture "will not cleave to one another"...which seems to say that there's no 'one', or 'unalloyed' kingdom....in the context of the preceding symbols (of the SAME STATUE!). 2. (this one makes me smile, because i guess i just realized - again thank you! - how subtle, yet obvious it is) they will try to "cleave to one another". i think i just assumed this without really examining "why"....
oh, another point, but having more to do with what i am able to perceive from daniel AND revelation - their connection, use of parallel symbols, etc. - is that the one-worlders, be they 'earthers', 'bildys', 'moonies', whatever - can 'conspire away' all they want! it comforts me when i read revelation 13; 3 (for one good example)...seems to me THAT'S the 'real deal' that god wants me to know of beforehand - it will all be out in the open! the 'secret handshakers' dont seem to merit much press in his word - at least from what im understanding and reading - LUB
