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

[Exegesis]

I am curious as to how you would link Nebuchadnezzar's statue with the heads of the beast in Revelation.

Here is my list:

• Head of Gold = 3rd Head of the Beast = King of Babylon
• Breast/Arms of Silver = 4th Head of the Beast = King of Medo-Persia
• Belly/Thighs of Brass = 5th Head of the Beast = King of Greece
• Legs of Iron = 6th Head of the Beast = King of Rome
• Feet of Iron and Clay = 7th Head of the Beast = Hitler
• Toes = 8th Head of the Beast = Image of the Beast (Final Antichrist)

​

I see Hitler as being a good fit for the Seventh Head. The Image of the Beast will be the final 'Eighth of the Seven'. These are just my opinions of course.

Would you link any of the Little Horns in Daniel to these 'heads'? Are they the same? Different?

Do these even link together in the first place?

Please post your thoughts.

I view the Little Horn in Daniel 7 as coming in the future, somewhere in the 'toes' part of the statue timeline:

Daniel 7:8 "I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things."

The Little Horn in Daniel 8 however, appears to have come and gone a long time ago:

Daniel 8:9 "And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land."

What do you think?

Even though I disagree with the graphic - nice job on posting a visual as part of explaining your view.

The statue image of Nebuchadnezzar's dream does not correspond to the kings of Revelation 17:10-11. The ten toes of the statue image do correspond to the ten end times kings of Revelation 17:12.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The kings of Revelation 17:10-11 are represented by the 7 heads on the beast in Revelation 17, 12, 13.

The 7 kings are of the Roman Empire (historic), and Roman Empire manifest in the end times (the EU).

(the first five kings) the five fallen (at the time of John given Revelation)
Julius Caesar
Augustus Caesar
Tiberius
Caligula
Claudius

(the sixth king)) the one is
Nero

(the seventh king) the one yet to come
the end times little horn person of Daniel 7 and Daniel 8

(the eighth king) the beast-king of Revelation 17:11
the end times little horn person after being killed and come back to life

When it comes to the Ten Toes, I view them as not of this world. I interpret them as fallen angels. This would be the 'falling away':

2 Thessalonians 2:3 "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;"

They all combine their minds to bring about this final antichrist, i.e., the 'eighth of the seven'. They bring it back to life.

Maybe this is too much for the average person to receive? This video is very close to how I interpret them:

I am curious as to how you would link Nebuchadnezzar's statue with the heads of the beast in Revelation.

Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. The Roman Imperial Culture continues to this day via European Civilization. Out of Europe will emerge 10 kings/presidents, 3 of which will fall. Antichrist will be the king presiding over them all.

With 3 kings in Europe falling, there will be 7 heads (kings) and 10 horns (countries). Antichrist will be the "Little Horn" of Dan 7, who forms a European Empire around himself.

Who these 7 heads and 10 horns will be I don't know. I think probably 5 countries from Western Europe and 5 countries from Eastern Europe, possibly including Russia. But I don't know. Purely partially-informed speculation on my part.

I believe that the image is the same as Daniel's identity of the 4 beasts.

1st head: Head of gold: Babylon. Daniel himself identified the king of Babylon as that head in Daniel chapter 2.
2nd head: Chest and arms of silver: Media-Persia.
3rd head: Belly and thighs of bronze: Alexander the Great's Greek Empire.

4th head: Two legs of iron. The two kingdoms that rose from the Greek Empire and came to dominate over all four of the kingdoms that rose from the former Greek Empire, which were constantly at war with one another: The Seleucid Empire, and the Ptolemaic kingdom of Egypt

5th head: Antiochus Epiphanes' Seleucid kingdom. The beast that will ascend from the abyss. The lion, the bear, and the leopard.

All five had fallen by the time John received the Revelaiton.

6th head: Rome. The kingdom that existed when John received the Revelation.

7th head. The kingdom of the beast that will ascend from the abyss, with whom the ten kings will reign.

The beast that will ascend from the abyss will be the 8th king, but is of the seven. That kingdom covers the entire region which includes Iran, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, parts of Saudi Arabia and its surrounding states, Turkey and parts of Eastern Europe, because that's the area the Seleucid Empire covered - the lion, the bear, and the leopard of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13.

• Toes = 8th Head of the Beast = Image of the Beast (Final Antichrist)

The problem I see with that is this...

The Daniel 2:34-35 Scripture shows the beast statue is struck upon its feet of part iron and part clay, and then the WHOLE comes tumbling down TOGETHER. And then an everlasting Kingdom is setup in its place.

Dan 2:34-35
34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
KJV

That "stone" represents Lord Jesus Christ, and His future coming to destroy that beast.

The idea of all those pieces being broken 'together' means they ALL are together into ONE beast at the END of this world. Thus the feet of ten toes of part iron and part clay actually represents a 5th beast in final at the end of this world that will carry all... the others. It will be the beast described in Revelation 13:1.

A "one world government" is the globalist's plan for the end. That is not headed by the EU. Those pointing to the EU are only using it as a mask. Globalists are located all over the world in many parts of the world. The secret Occult fraternities are a major part of that establishing of a New Word Order, as they have members in just about every nation, including Islamic nations. And they teach that all religions are equal, which is a prerequisite to the coming false-Messiah's one-world religion. He will claim they all are pointing to him as their savior, including Christianity.

That "stone" represents Lord Jesus Christ, and His future coming to destroy that beast.

The stone cut without hands in verse 45 is the kingdom of God.

44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

I see Hitler as being a good fit for the Seventh Head. The Image of the Beast will be the final 'Eighth of the Seven'. These are just my opinions of course.

Rev 17 says the heads are mountains (areas of land in the Greek). How could any man be a mountain? They can't.

Also, all 7 heads exist at the same time while your list of men did not.

Would you link any of the Little Horns in Daniel to these 'heads'? Are they the same? Different?

In symbology the horns are on heads and the horns are kings and their kingdoms and heads being land. That's ten kingdoms within 7 areas of land. The little horn in Daniel is a person so he cannot be any of the heads.

 

[Douggg]

Rev 17 says the heads are mountains (areas of land in the Greek).

What does the entire verse of Revelation 17:9 say ?

 

[Douggg]

In symbology the horns are on heads and the horns are kings and their kingdoms and heads being land.

"kingdoms" ? In Revelation 17:17, it says "kingdom" singular.

In Revelation 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

In Daniel 7:23-24, the singular kingdom is that of the fourth beast. The ten horns (ten kings) arise out of the fourth kingdom.

23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

The fourth kingdom was the Roman Empire. The ten kings will arise out of the Roman Empire manifested in the end times - the EU.

Also, all 7 heads exist at the same time while your list of men did not.

The 7 heads, as representing 7 kings in Revelation 17:10, are 7 kings that do not rule at the same time, but are sequential as indicated by the text.

Revelation 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

I view the Little Horn in Daniel 7 as coming in the future, somewhere in the 'toes' part of the statue timeline:



The Little Horn in Daniel 8 however, appears to have come and gone a long time ago:



What do you think?

The little horn in both Daniel 7 and Daniel 8 is an end times person.

You referenced Daniel 8:9. The little horn in that verse is the prince that shall come in Daniel 9:26. Fulfillment will be right after the Gog/Magog event of Ezekiel 39.

The little horn person will arrive in the middle east with a EU army on the premise of being a peace keeper in the region in the aftermath of the destruction of Gog/Magog armies.

The Jews will think that the little person is their long awaited messiah. The false prophet will anoint the little person as the king of Israel. The little horn person thus becoming the Antichrist at that point.

 

[Nameaboveallnames]

The Vatican/the Papacy is Daniel’s “little horn” (Daniel 7:8) or “little kingdom."

In Bible prophecy, a "horn" is representative of a "king" and his "kingdom."

For example, we read:

"And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings." (Daniel 7:24)

Again, we read:

"And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast." (Revelation 17:12).

The Antichrist is depicted as a "little horn" or a "little kingdom" in Daniel 7:8, and the world's littlest or smallest kingdom in none other than Vatican City.

1. Vatican City is the smallest country in the world.

Encircled by a 2-mile border with Italy, Vatican City is an independent city-state that covers just over 100 acres, making it one-eighth the size of New York’s Central Park. Vatican City is governed as an absolute monarchy with the pope at its head.

Although this article doesn’t specifically mention that Vatican City is a “kingdom," it does mention that it is “an absolute monarchy," which is basically the same exact thing.

Definition of MONARCH

monarch
noun

mon·arch | \ ˈmä-nərk , -ˌnärk \
Definition of monarch

1: a person who reigns over a kingdom or empire: such as
a: a sovereign ruler
b: a constitutional (see CONSTITUTIONAL entry 1 sense 3) king or queen

Vatican City is indeed "an absolute monarchy," and you can verify that for yourselves here:

List of current monarchies - Wikipedia

In fact, the following blog clearly identifies Vatican City as a “kingdom” with the Pope as its “king."

http://www.cgpgrey.com/blog/vatican-city-explained

Furthermore, Vatican Television Center offers a DVD entitled "THE VATICAN - Behind the scenes of the World's Smallest Kingdom," and you can verify that for yourselves here:

Amazon.com

Anyhow, this is just one of many biblical indicators that the Vatican/the Papacy is the literal kingdom of Antichrist.

 

[Douggg]

The Antichrist is depicted as a "little horn" or a "little kingdom" in Daniel 7:8, and the world's littlest or smallest kingdom in none other than Vatican City.

The little horn is a person - not a kingdom.

The person who becomes the Antichrist does so by being anointed the king of Israel thought-to-be messiah instead of Jesus the rightful king of Israel messiah.

Mark 13:2 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

To be the king of Israel thought-to-be messiah, the person must be a Jew. And his religion cannot be Christianity.

The pope/papacy therefore does not qualify to become the Antichrist.

Rev 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

The stone cut without hands in verse 45 is the kingdom of God.

No, it is the Stone which the builders rejected - Jesus Christ. It will be Jesus' future coming that will smite that final beast upon its feet of ten toes.
