The concepts of kings and kingdoms are interchangeable in Daniel’s dreams and visions. In Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, he (the king), was the head of gold on the image (2:38). Yet, the head was also the Babylonian kingdom. In the next chapter the he-goat was the “king of Greece” (8:21a), yet the single horn on its forehead was “the first king” (8:21b). Thus, the goat is not a single king but a kingdom.
This same rule, where the king/kingdom description is amalgamated, is later seen in the “king of the north” (11:5-35) and the “king of the south” prophecies, representing entire “kingdoms,” including even succession of kings or leaders. Here in 7:17, the four beasts are shown to represent four kings; in 7:23, the fourth is a kingdom.
TROUBLING ACTIVITY OF THAT LITTLE HORN
(Daniel 7 – Part 4)
You have not clearly shown anything other than a bias trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.
I clearly understand: You have an agenda.
No thanks.
It’s called truth. You are more than welcome to reject it.
It’s called pigeon holing. You are more than welcome to correct it when you do it, so correct it.
Unless it’s already the truth, of course. Then, no correction is needed.
America wasn’t even around then and why it’s not listed....neither is Canada nor South American nations.....However.... there are many scriptures that do refer to “the whole world’...or “portions of mankind”..so we will not be exempt.
Unless America is this guy...
Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Joe Biden has no power except what is given him.....just as with Pilot. God will even use the rebrobate to accomplish his will and purposes.
Admittedly the nations have been lining up for several decades and it’s been fascinating to watch. Also interesting as been observing China and Russia.... some believe Russia will make a play for Israel but be defeated and go home with it’s tail between it’s legs.....before it rearms and does so again in time with a host of the middle Eastern nations.
It’s all very interesting to watch......I’ve been years doing so...however I’m moreso watching for His return in the clouds to take us with Him before all that happens.
Nah.....that beast (Individual) plays a religeous role.....with just as much authority as the first beast but submissive to him .....He’s the one who encourages people to worship the first beast..(The Anti-Christ)
Nah.....that beast (Individual) plays a religeous role.....
Um, so what you are saying is that THAT beast is an individual.... let me check my prophecy symbols chart (checking now, music playing, etc...)
Nope. You are not correct.
Prophecy Symbols:
Beasts – Kings/kingdoms (political powers). Daniel 7:17, 23
Horns/heads – Subdivisions of political powers. Daniel 7:24, 8:21-22
Wings – Speed or swiftness.
Winds – War/Strife. Jeremiah 49:35-37
Sea – Multitudes of people. Revelation 17:1, 15
And that first beast is not an individual either.
Predicting dates...
Only GOD knows the TIME, but we will know the season.
I agree with you. All goodness will be gone when believers are lifted up to meet JESUS in the air. Then GOD’S wrathful come, just as in the days of Noah and Lot.
We’ll just disagree on those notes.
