Daniel chapter 2’s Statue

The four kingdoms of Daniel 2:37-40 (below) are NOT the four beasts/kings/kingdoms which will be upon the world scene at the feet and toes of the Daniel 2:31-36 statue.

The four end-time beasts/kings will all ascend from the bottomless pit together AT THE SAME TIME at the Fifth Trumpet, the first Woe. They will play their end-time role upon the world scene FROM the Fifth Trumpet THROUGH TO the battle of Armageddon and A SEASON AND TIME beyond the battle.

After the battle of Armageddon, the first three beasts/kings of the four beasts/kings (Dan.7:3, Dan.7:17) WILL HAVE THEIR LIVES PROLONGED for a season and time BEYOND the destruction of the fourth beast/king and the false prophet at the battle of Armageddon (Dan.7:11-12, Re.19:20).


The Great Image

Dan.2:31 Thou, O king (Nebuchadnezzar), sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness [was] excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof [was] terrible.

Dan.2:32 This image's head [was] of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,

Dan.2:33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.

Dan.2:34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet [that were] of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

Dan.2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

Dan.2:36 This [is] the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.


Interpretation of the Great Image

NOTE: Nebuchadnezzar is FAVORED of God (Dan.2:37-38 above). None of these kingdoms are referred to as beasts (Jude 1:10-11, Titus 1:12, 2 Pe.2:11-13 below)


Dan.2:37 Thou, O king (Nebuchadnezzar), [art] a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.

Dan.2:38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he (God) given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou (Nebuchadnezzar) [art] this head of gold.

Dan.2:39 And AFTER thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
Dan.2:40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all [things]: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.


The Feet and Toes of the Great Image

Dan.2:41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

Dan.2:42 And [as] the toes of the feet [were] part of iron, and part of clay, [so] the kingdom (singular) shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

Dan.2:43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

Dan.2:44 And in the days of these kings (toes - kingdoms) shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, [but] it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

Dan.2:45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream [is] certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.


End-Time Role of the Four Beasts of Daniel chapter 7

NOTE: The four kings of Daniel chapter 7 (below) are described as four beasts (Jude 1:10-11, Titus 1:12, 2 Pe.2:11-13 below). These kings/beasts ascend from the bottomless pit/hell.


The four beasts of Daniel chapter 7 have an end-time role after the Sixth SEAL (Re.6:12-17).

The four beasts of Daniel chapter 7 are four kings who come up from the sea (Dan.7:3) arising out of the earth (Dan.7:17).

These four beasts/kings ascend from the bottomless pit once it has been opened at the Fifth TRUMPET, the First Woe (Re.9:1-2, 12). These four beasts/kings ascend out of the bottomless pit at the same time.

These four beasts/kings are "the transgressors" and are of a single nation with a plural kingdom (Dan.8:22-23). AFTER the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up (Dan.8:23). He is the little horn (Dan.7:8), the false prophet. He also ascends from the bottomless pit (Re.11:7, Re.17:8, Isa.38:18, Ps.28:1).

The fourth beast of Daniel chapter 7 is seen in the book of Revelation as the beast of Revelation 13:1.

The little horn/false prophet is seen in the book of Revelation as the beast of Revelation 13:11, and he is also seen as the scarlet-colored beast once he sits in the temple of God showing himself that he is God (2 Thess.2:4).

The ten horns on the scarlet-colored beast’s head (Re.17:3) will have power as kings for ONE HOUR with the scarlet-colored beast (Re.17:12), one hour before the battle of Armageddon is fought (Re.19:11-21).

After the battle of Armageddon, the first three beasts/kings of the four beasts/kings (Dan.7:3, Dan.7:17) will have their lives prolonged for a season and time beyond the destruction of the fourth beast/king and the false prophet at the battle of Armageddon (Dan.7:11-12, Re.19:20).

The spiritual opening of the bottomless pit (Re.9:1-2, Isa.38:18, Ps.28:1) is in the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is outside of Jerusalem, and will be outside of that great city, the holy Jerusalem (Re.21:10) in the new earth. In the new earth there is no more sea (Re.21:1). In the new earth, all those who have transgressed against God will be looked upon (Isa.66:24, Re.14:10)


Beasts of the Earth

Jude 1:10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

Jude 1:11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain (1 Jn.3:12, Matt.13:38), and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

Titus 1:12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

2 Pe. 2:11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

2 Pe.2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

2 Pe.2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;

Neither Beast of Revelation 13 is referred to as the Anti-Christ

Neither one of the beasts of Revelation 13 are referred to as the anti-Christ.

The beasts of Revelation 13 are referred to as beasts/kings, and in the case of the beast of Revelation 13:11 he is also seen as the false prophet and the scarlet colored beast.

ALL who deny that Jesus is the Christ, who deny the Father and the Son is anti-Christ. (1 Jn.2:18, 1 Jn.2:22, 1 Jn.4:3, 2 Jn.1:7).

Except those Days be Shortened

The two prophets have been slain at the last week (Re.11:8-12, Dan.9:27) prior to the Seventh Trumpet, the ascension. The 144,000 are those who are "alive and remain" (1 Thess.4:16-17).

I believe that the days will be shortened (Matt.24:22, Mk.13:20 below) so that the 144,000 will be with the Lord in heaven (Re.14:1, Heb.12:22 below) on the Sabbath Day, the seventh day.


Matt.24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened (Mk.13:20 below).

Mk.13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but or the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen (Eph.1:4), he hath shortened the days.

Re.14:1 And I looked, and lo, a LAMB (the Savior) stood on mount Sion (Heb.12:22 below), and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads (Re.7:3-4, Eze.9:4).

Heb.12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion (Re.14:1 above), and unto the city of the living God, the HEAVENLY Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels.

Restrainer - Falling Away - 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12

The term “restrainer” is not found in the King James (Authorized) Version of the Holy Bible.

The church of God (1 Cor.10:32), Jesus’ living body (Col.1:24) will fall away from deception first (2 Thess.2:3-4, Eph.4:14) before the son of perdition (Re.11:7, Re.17:8, Re.17:11) is revealed.

Note 2 Thessalonians 2:6: "in his time". The son of perdition will be revealed “in his time”. His time will occur when he ascends from the bottomless pit after the bottomless pit has been opened. The bottomless pit will be opened at the Fifth Trumpet, the First Woe (Re.9:1-2). Until the son of perdition ascends from the pit (Re.11:7, Re.17:8, Re.17:11, Jn.17:12) it is not "his time".

Who will inhabit the Earth throughout the Millennium?

The saints of the most High will face the tribulation under the beasts of Revelation chapter 13, which will conclude at the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17), the ascension. The earth will have been reaped (Re.14:16).

Gentiles (1 Cor.10:32), who know not God (1 Thess.4:5) and have no hope (Eph.2:12), will come against the saints and kill them. (Dan.7:21, Dan.7:25, Dan.8:24, Re.12:17, Re.13:7, Re.13:15, Re.16:6, Re.17:6, Dan.12:6-7)

Gentiles will remain upon the earth after the ascension to endure the Seven Last Plagues (Re.16:1).

Armies of Gentiles will be gathered together to fight the battle of Armageddon against The Word of God and His armies (Re.19:13-14).

Zechariah 14:4 (below) is fulfilled directly after the battle of Armageddon and will mark the beginning of the Millennium.

God will spare one-sixth part (Eze.39:2 below) of Gentiles (heathen) who will go into the Millennium to re-populate the earth (Re.20:8). It seem to me that the one-sixth part (Eze.39:2 below) would be the “ye” at Zechariah 14:5, below.

During the Millennium, The Word of God (Re.19:13) will rule all nations with a rod of iron (Re.12:5, Re.19:15).

Immortal saints, Christ Jesus' wife (Re.19:7), will live and reign with Christ on earth throughout the Millennium (Re.20:4).

Jesus' wife are God’s glory set among the heathen (Eze.39:21 below).

Eze.39:2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:

Eze.39:21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.

Zech.14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which [is] before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, [and there shall be] a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

Zech.14:5 And ye shall flee [to] the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, [and] all the saints with thee.

Technorati Tags: Millennium

The Shroud of Turin

John 20:5-7 (below) does not depict that Jesus was laid in the sepulchre in a SHROUD. Jesus was laid in the sepulchre in linen CLOTHES. Separate from the clothes a NAPKIN that was wrapped about Jesus’ head lay in a place by itself.

Based upon the Scriptures, I believe the shroud imprint is not that of Jesus.


Jn.20:5 And he stooping down, [and looking in], saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

Jn.20:6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

Jn.20:7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

The Evening and the Morning is a Day

God’s Word is true from the beginning (Ps.119:160 below).

The evening (singular) and the morning (singular) is a day. Creation occurred in sixth literal days, as it is written. (Genesis Scriptures below).


Ps.119:160 Thy word [is] true [from] the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments [endureth] for ever.

Gen.1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the FIRST day.

Gen.1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the SECOND day.

Gen.1:13 And the evening and the morning were the THIRD day.

Gen.1:19 And the evening and the morning were the FOURTH day.

Gen.1:23 And the evening and the morning were the FIFTH day.

Gen.1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the SIXTH day.

Gen.2:2 And on the SEVENTH day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
