The Holy Roman Empire, even at its peak ruled over less than a quarter of all Christians.

The HRE didn't include the Ancient Church of the East, the Assyrian Church, which in 900 formed fully 33% of all Christians and stretched from Mongolia to India to Ctesiphon.

the HRE didn't include the Orthodox who were in the Roman Empire or the Bulgarian Empire or under Islamic rule

The HRE didn't include the Copts or the Armenians or the Syriacs

the HRE didn't even include all Western Christians - even at its peak there were the Christians of Iberia, of Italia, of Poland, Hungary, England, Ireland, Scandanavia.

In what way could the HRE play any part in the kingdom of God in your opinion?

To: Cronos

Never the less it is called the holy Roman empire, it was not me that named
it.

Cronos as I have said before I agree with you on the rapture and I will give
you the benefit of doubt on the destruction of Jerusalem being the great tribulation
but after that, well I have ask you at least twice if you thought revelation
had been fullfilled with the destruction of Jerusalem, you will not answer which
Leads me to believe that you know it is so full of holes that it is like an irrigation
system.

If any one reads scripture they can plainly see that revelation covers at least two
thousand years.

It is common for people to put a bunch of scripture together to try to make it fit
what they believe but like an old preacher told me one time ( I don’t give a dam what
the scriptures say just as long as I do my best to understand what they do say).

Have you read about the four beasts in Daniel 7 it is exactly the same ones John talks
about except Daniel leaves out Egypt and assyria. because they had already passed.

John’s seven kings were not the seven kings of Rome it was the seven world empires
which Isreal had been enslaved to, that is what Daniel is referring to and so was John.

Here is proof that revelation covers two thousand years or more.

1 Cor 15:20
But now Christ has risen and become the first fruits of them that slept, past tense,
want proof?

Hosea6;2
After two days he will
revive us and on the third day he will raise us up and we will
live in his sight.

Rev14:
These were redeemed from among men being the first fruits of God and until the lamb.

Rev 20:4
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurection on such the second death
has no power but they shall be priest of God and Christ and shall reign with him a thousand
years.

20:5
but the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished, this is us.

The thousand years had to be before and or during the holy Roman empire even though the
empire itself belonged to Satan there were 14400 of God’s people in it during the thousand years and they were
alive.

You can not ignore two thousand years of history.
