... when on a forum where you can get away with quite a bit of insulting !

"Insulting"? -- Ummmmmm, Scripture which can be assessed against the LITERAL TEXT and/or History should be incontrovertible. But some contrive False Doctrines in spite of BOTH. Consider the simple concept where Dan. 2 is depicted as FOUR world empires by the commentators:
1. Gold, Babylon
2. Silver, Medo/Persia
3. Bronze, Greece
4.a. Iron, Rome
4.b. Clay, "Revived Rome"
-- and of course this "agrees" with their errant "Dan. 7 duplication" of this same "sequence".
2. Silver, Medo/Persia
3. Bronze, Greece
4.a. Iron, Rome
4.b. Clay, "Revived Rome"
-- and of course this "agrees" with their errant "Dan. 7 duplication" of this same "sequence".
However, if we consider 2:34, we have the sequence: Iron, Bronze, Clay, Silver, Gold = 4,3,5,2,1 = FIVE. And this FIFTH Empire is called a "Divided Kingdom", -- where Dan. 7 delineates those participants as such:
1. Gold, Babylon
2. Silver, Medo/Persia
3. Bronze, Greece
4. Iron, Rome
-- Clay, "Divided Kingdom"
-- 5. Lion/Eagle, U.K./U.S.
-- 6. Bear, Russia
-- 7. Leopard (actually a TIGER), China
-- 8. "Dreadful", United Nations, -- which "was and is not" because it has NO Populous, NO Geography, NO Army, etc., -- just a paper entity.
So is it REALLY "insulting" to assert that the commentators are "lying", especially when the details of the Lion/Eagle; Bear with three ribs; Leopard (actually a Tiger) with Four Heads and Four Wings; and "Dreadful" don't match the respective Histories of the first Four World Empires?!?2. Silver, Medo/Persia
3. Bronze, Greece
4. Iron, Rome
-- Clay, "Divided Kingdom"
-- 5. Lion/Eagle, U.K./U.S.
-- 6. Bear, Russia
-- 7. Leopard (actually a TIGER), China
-- 8. "Dreadful", United Nations, -- which "was and is not" because it has NO Populous, NO Geography, NO Army, etc., -- just a paper entity.
Maybe calling a LIE as a LIE may be "insulting" to you, -- but actually "helping" to others:
Proverbs, 27:6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
And so we should attempt to CLEARLY SEE that which we can; and to discern that which is BLURRY so that we may not suffer loss for failing to "read" the "signs of the times": "red sky morning, sailor warning".
With Very Best Regards,
