    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?

    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...

    Thanks for your thoughts! 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...

    How many kingdoms in Daniel?

    FYI, why do you think God placed the KOS and KON at both ends of chapter 11? Who do you think are these entities? Do you think the "times of the Gentiles might be relevant to this?

    How many kingdoms in Daniel?

    For what it is worth.... I would ask that you might consider why the KOS and the KON are mentioned at the beginning of chapter 11 and then at the end of chapter 11. That might tell you something..... and then you can begin to unpack the large middle section of chapter 11....

    Nebuchadnezzar's Statue vs. Heads of the Beast - How Would You Link Them?

    Well, thank you for your thoughts.... but I believe we are not on the same page.... I believe the symbols provided by God in chapter 2,7,8,9, and 11 are speak as one.... they provide for a consistent and clean intepretation from Babylon to the end of time. However, almost all of Daniel takes us...
