I agree. Let me propose something to you and get your thoughts, and we might be able to unpack chapter 2. There are indeed 4 and only 4 kingdoms that God has brought forward from the sea. To ensure we understand this He deliberately identified them as follows: 1) in chapter 2 He identified...

I don't know if that is a yea or a nea.... let me know.

Well, there is a lot to agree with here. If you do not mind, perhaps we might try and look at Daniel in a different way -one that is not focused on the 4 kingdoms and their historical conflicts, kings, etc., but where these 4 kingdoms are simply the structure where God will have its people...

Yea, that's what I want to know! Why so quiet out there .... there are so many opinions, let's have them please...

Thanks for your response, but let me ask just one more question... did Jesus "set up" or "establish" His earthly kingdom at His first coming which will not be consumated until His return?

Thanks, but I would ask that you might read my response in #83 and consider it the 10 toes have indeed been on this earth for some time.

Well, your comments are quite interesting and enjoyable to read. And you are absolutely correct in that the 10 toes are indeed the 10 horns in chapter 7. And further, they are also the 10 in Revelation. Let me propose something to you and ask that you might consider: 1) In Daniel, and other...

Thank you for your response. I certainly agree with you that no other NATION will ever rule after Rome, because God specifically brought forward 4 and only 4 kingdoms from the sea in His plan of restoration / salvation for His people and mankind. However, Daniel tells us that the 4th kingdom...

I have attempted to ask straightforward questions that have come right out of chapter 7 .... I also have repeatedly asked you to provide me with an understanding of where is the Messiah in the latter chapters of your interpretation in the book Daniel.... It is not going to happen and I thank...

Where is the Messiah in all of that?

I believe the scripures, specifically chapter 7 clearly identify the timing of both the 10 horns and a little later, the little horn as they come out of Imperial or pagan Rome. And as you know, pagan Rome saw its demise in 476 AD, thus, both were present before the "beast was slain" in...

Did you answer these? Is verse 7:11 telling us the "beast", the only beast of the original four (whether metal kingdoms or animals in chapter 7) was slain? 7:11 "I watched then because of the sound of the [f]pompous words which the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast was slain, So who...

If you do not mind, let me try another approach: Are the 4 beasts in chapter 7 the same as the 4 metal kingdoms in chapter 2? Is the 4th metal kingdom in chapter 2 Rome (pagan or Imperial Rome) and the unidentifiable 4th beast in chapter 7 also Rome (pagan or Imperial Rome)? Does verse 7:23...

Sorry, you are so wrong. God brought only 4 kingdoms out of the sea. This is not about “pieces”, (which is one of the reasons God symbolizes them as metal only. And He doubles down by identifying the distinct parts of a man. The clay is purposeful not symbolized as a metal, because the clay...

First, the pope is not the coming Antichrist, and he does not come at the end of time - this we agree on ! However, the pope is indeed the little horn of Daniel 7 and 8 and he has been in power for some 1500 years. The 4th beast in Daniel is pagan Rome but it saw its demise in 467AD (7:11)...

Well, thanks for responding. Based on your response I understand that you are an SDA member. I am familiar with your views on Daniel and believe that no other Christian organization has done more to properly interpret the book of Daniel than the SDA, however, they really have not made any...

Well, I really don’t think you addressed the verses I mentioned.

If you do not mind, let me try another approach: Are the 4 beasts in chapter 7 the same as the 4 metal kingdoms in chapter 2? Is the 4th metal kingdom in chapter 2 Rome (pagan or Imperial Rome) and the unidentifiable 4th beast in chapter 7 also Rome (pagan or Imperial Rome)? Does verse 7:23...

As you know, there are two places in Revelation that seem to speak of this "buying and selling" metaphor - 13:17 and 6.5-6. I believe they both are used in the same manner. Here is a cut / paste for some of the narrative for 6:5-6.... for what it is worth, Revelation 6:5-6 (Third seal) 5...

If the book of Daniel was a history book, I just may find your comments interesting, but it is not. The book of Daniel is about the restoration of His people back from Babylon in 606 BC. God is recording their travel back to Jerusalem through the 4 kingdoms and where it comes all together in...
