Daniel is Revelation concealed and Revelation is Daniel revealed - the prophecies of the one cannot be properly interpreted without the other. Revelation 13 declares that after its "deadly wound" was healed, "all the world would wonder after the beast."
I have presented many Protestant Historicism arguments here against what are regarded as "foundational" for the establishment of Jesuit Futurism, to which those who subscribe are unwilling to acknowledge has its origin in the Jesuit Order, yet not one has been able to offer a reasonable refutation to the either plausibility or plain established fact of these arguments, some of which are:
- the complete absence of a Biblical precedent-setting "gap" insertion into a numerically specific time prophecy as is claimed has been done to the "70 Weeks"
-the historic ECF and Reformation era claim of Pagan Rome as the Restrainer, the fall of which links the rise of Antichrist to the distant past, not future, and the complete absence of church belief of a "agent of holiness" Restrainer anywhere in the historical record
-that Dispensationalism, too, has its roots in post-Reformation acceptance of Jesuit ideas which is found no where supported in proper contextual interpretation of the Scriptures, but the father of which, John Nelson Darby, was an adamant proponent of the same Jesuit ideas so popular today - ideas which were once crushed and buried over for 300 years by the solid Scriptural arguments of the giants of the Protestant Reformation before Darby, Scofield, and the rest of those afflicted with spiritual amnesia helped resurrect them what seems as just yesterday
-that the pre-trib "thief in the night secret rapture" cannot possibly supported by Scripture as evidenced by the testimony of both OT and NT of the utter destruction and era of darkness and desolation which will prevail before the "earth made new", which Jesuit Futurism wholly ignores with its description of continual earthly human activity throughout its warped prophetic timeline
-that God would in no way refer to a blasphemous, abominable, national "f - You and Your Messiah" re-establishment of Jewish temple sacrificial services in a rebuilt temple (Gr. "naos") in Jerusalem as His "temple of God" and that Paul used the Greek "naos" found in 2 Thess. 2 to refer to the church as the "temple of God", which services could only honor who Jesus referred to as the father of the Jews - "the devil".
- that Artaxerxes' decree of 457 B.C is the only one comprehensively adequate to fulfill Gabriel's "restore and build Jerusalem" description
-that Artaxerxes' 444 B.C. decree was nothing more than the lifting of the moratorium of his original 457 B.C. decree, put in place due to Daniel's prediction of "the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times" at the hands of Israel's enemies.
-that 69 Weeks from 457 B.C. brings us to a baptismal date for Jesus as 27 A.D., in light of Dr. Luke's almost certain use of the Syro-Macedonian calendar in his calculation of "the fifteenth year reign of Tiberius...", which completely eliminates the possible consideration of 444 B.C. as the decree date or a post-31 A.D. crucifixion.
-the complete disregard for "chiastic structure" of Hebrew writing which is destroyed by the false interpretations of Jesuit Futurism/Jesuit Preterism, but preserved intact by Protestant Historicism (I'll not labor an expose' here seeing that Protestantism no longer has the slightest idea or cares what "chiastic structure" means or its relevance)
The Beast was identified by the Reformers as the Papacy. Yet, many here are unwilling to acknowledge the conspiracy fact (not "theory" as is so contemptuously suggested by those who are ignorant of the issues of the Protestant Reformation and church history at large) as demonstrated by the Papacy's very own Imprimatur-bearing encyclicals declaring their object of world dominance of every single aspect of humanity, including all things spiritual, and the political intrigue that is covered over by those in politics, the media, academia, and organized religion who are servants of the god of this world, guilty by their associations to various secret society "think tanks" whose object is to bring about the NWO found in Revelation 18:1-4 KJV
By its failure to adhere to the lessons of the past, non-Catholics can no longer be referred to as "Protestants" because they have ceased to protest the errors of the Papacy and teach the foundational beliefs of Protestantism, preferring to embrace the more PC label "evangelical" which makes me want to vomit. It is sad but true that Protestantism will join in with the rest of the world as "all the world wondered after the Beast" and the fact that the Papacy has co-epted the 2017 Five Hundren year anniversary of that memorable day of a German hammer and nails, with jubilent excitement and expectaition among Protestants, is proof positive that the long sought goal of the Papacy to destroy Protestantism has all but been realized. Well played, Rome, well played. SMH
