    How many kingdoms in Daniel?

    In general, there are many elements in Daniel that move forward to Revelation. Specifically, you made a comment (below) regarding the 7 beasts.... the eight king, etc. I would like to understand those verses in Daniel - perhaps chapters 2 or 7or 8 or 11 that are reflected in Revelaiton...You are...

    How many kingdoms in Daniel?

    Agree. The Stone does not destroy anything or anyone. The Jewish people will decide on their own at the cross as to whether they would accept Jesus as their Messiah. The destruction of everything, including the ceramic or miry clay (2:35 and 2:45) takes place at the end of time. So now we can...

    How many kingdoms in Daniel?

    Cetainly agree with your four kingdoms! Well, can't disaree with you here - only a few differences though: a) there are ONLY 4 kingdoms within God's plan of restoration and salvation (book of Daniel) for His people and mankind. Each of the 4 kingdoms are constructed ONLY of 4 different metal...

    The Beast of Revelation is a Political and Religious Entity.

    Rome (pagan then later papal), is the most 4th kingdom / beast that is identified in the metal man image of chapter 2. The book of Daniel is meant to reveal God’s plan of restoration for His people after they spend 70 years in exile in Babylon, the 1st of the 4 kingdoms. God will reveal His...

    How many kingdoms in Daniel?

    I could not agree with you more! So, do you have an understanding of chapter 11 and how it speaks to Revelation? Thanks.

    How many kingdoms in Daniel?

    For what it is worth..... If you are discussing chapter 13 in Revelation, then there are 3 actors: 1) dragon -- I don't believe anyone would disagree this is represents Satan, So who do you folks think is the "sea beast," and who might be the "land beast"? i think everyone will agree that...

    Does Daniel 11 Describe King Herod and His Dynasty?

    For what it is woth..... In chapter 9, Daniel provides us with the 70 weeks of years prophecy. This prophecy would complete God's plan of restoration for His people. They would have already spent 70 years in exile, then they would spend exactly another 80 years from the decree from Cyrus to the...

    Daniel and Revelation show the same time period.

    After the cross, we find the Christian church growing exponentially throughout the Roman Empire. And this is despite their being severly persecuted and murdered for almost 300 years. But the church would grow and become very powerful. And when Constantine came to power, it made the Christian...

    Daniel and Revelation show the same time period.

    That is indeed a terrific question. And you are absolutely rigth - In Daniel 2:34, we find the Stone (Messiah) would strike the feet (not the toes) of the 4th beast kingdom. This is pagan Rome which is made of iron (not iron and clay, but pure iron). However, God has inserted another symbol...

    How old is the Earth?

    You certainly may be right!

    How old is the Earth?

    Apparently, there were 4000 years from the birth of Christ back to Adam. Then, I might just add another 5 days and get 4000 years and 5 days, plus or minus a few days.... :crossword:

    Does Daniel 11 Describe King Herod and His Dynasty?

    Okay, there is no problem. As you know there are many views and interpretations on these verses, and others, in the book of Daniel. Daniel is full of cryptic verses. Best wishes!

    Does Daniel 11 Describe King Herod and His Dynasty?

    the 70th week was indeed fulfilled or completed. The cross did not stop the timeline for the prophecy, in fact, the prophecy clearly tells us what will happen in the midst of the week..... I am not sure we are on the same page here... there is NO 7 year covenant. The verse tells us that the...

    Does Daniel 11 Describe King Herod and His Dynasty?

    Does this make any sense... please let me know, and thanks, Daniel 9:24a — Seventy weeks are determined Daniel 9:24b—For your people and your holy city Gabriel’s introduction in Daniel 9:24 opens one of the most critical time-based prophecies in Scripture. He begins not with symbols or...

    Does Daniel 11 Describe King Herod and His Dynasty?

    I understand but that is why I mentoned the timing of the Messiah, the tie in to the 7 weeks prophecy, the tie in to the 70 AD destruction.. They all took place during the early reign of pagan Rome... do you see that? Thanks.

    How many kingdoms in Daniel?

    Well, yes and no. Certianly, chapter 11 begins and ends with recognizing both KOS and KON but in between 11:5 45 there is so much that takes place. I would respectfully ask that you might consider each of these important events that make up chapter 11 (outside of 11:4): 1) we have the arrival...

    Does Daniel 11 Describe King Herod and His Dynasty?

    Okay, I see and thanks. Would you mind telling me the identities of the 4 kingdoms or kings within chapters 2, 7 and 8 please. And, does the fact that the 4th kingdom beast in those chapters (IMO) represents pagan Rome for many reasons, but perhaps the most obvious is this is when the Messiah...

    I am confused. I was speaking of Daniel, want are you talking about?

    Does Daniel 11 Describe King Herod and His Dynasty?

    For what it is worth..... The book of Daniel is extremely difficult to understand and interpret. And chapter 11 clearly surpasses the other 11 chapters... it is on the 100 floor while the others are near the street level. But it is about the Messiah, His church, the appropriation of His...
