Your "beef" is not with a "source" but rather an excuse to accuse and attack the TRUTH of Scripture and History. And there will be a price to be paid.

The problem is that your matching of history to the scriptures is flawed as is your understanding of who or what the five beasts of Daniel 7:1-12 are.
In the Statue prophecy in Daniel 2 your historical reference that the Roman Empire had dominion over the Lands of the Chaldeans is also flawed. Nor do you acknowledge that Jeremiah 50-51 has significant prophetical insight into the events that will occur in the Land of the Chaldeans, and which Daniel glosses over, although there is a hint of his surprise about the fourth segment of the statue, but he give no indication of when that will occur. His words of "and the fourth kingdom" gives no indication of when it will appear within the history of the earth. Revelation 16:17-21 does indicate when the fourth kingdom over the land of the Chaldeans will occur. Jeremiah 50 also gives an indication of when the fourth kingdom in the Land of the Chaldeans will be. Our modern history over the last 100 plus years does confirm this fact with respect to the fourth kingdom in the statue prophecy. Jeremiah 50-51 also reveals the fifth kingdom that will have dominion over the Land of the Chaldeans and our history of the present times also confirm for us the make up of the nations associated with the fifth kingdom.
But you have your theory as to the truth of the matter, and you defend your understanding through ridicule and bullying without providing conclusive evidence to back it up.
