The Restrainer

[Davy]

Nebuchadnezzer is NOT called a beast...it only says he'd act like one. Amazing the lengths people will go to make their Jesuit ideas work...including adding to Scripture.

Oh, I think God's Word is very clear that Nebuchadnezzar was likened to a beast by his punishment God placed upon him...

Dan 4:16
16 Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.
KJV

You well know that is true too, but you fight against The Word of God just to keep your... tradition from men!

And here lies the root of your error: the error of a "fifth" kingdom. THERE IS NO FIFTH KINGDOM. Daniel says the legs of iron would divide into ten toes, which are the ten divisions of the Roman Empire. Daniel 7 says that the Antichrist would arise among those ten divisions.

Oh, but there is, because there are FIVE PARTS to the beast statue in Neb's dream, not four.

And the FINAL piece of the beast statue is to be smote upon its feet by The Stone not cut out with hands (i.e., Jesus Christ), and His eternal Kingdom on earth is then setup, which of course is STILL future to us today!

So duh... this is so... easy! The FINAL part is the feet of ten toes of part iron and part clay. That's the one that will be setup at the end of this world in the generation that will see Christ's 2nd coming.

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 NEVER happened back in history. It is still yet future, and is about Christ's future 2nd coming. So take your Preterist BS and file it in file 13 where it belongs with the rest of Judaizer's dung.

After reading this I am now of the opinion that you don't fully read other people's posts not bother to understand where they are coming from... Your own opinion is all that matters. What phoneman is discussing is not preterism. Do try and understand what we are talking about.

I'm not so sure you understand what doctrines like Preterism are about. That is one of the origin areas where the lie that the "temple of God" in 2 Thess.2 means the spiritual temple in Christ. It is a Judaizer idea, simply because the spiritual temple can NEVER be corrupted by ANY man, not even by the devil. How could a true believer on Christ ever come up with that idea? It didn't, it had to be from a Judaizer that doesn't understand what Christ's spiritual temple is, and thus nor what temple Paul was speaking of. And for one to even compare our Lord Jesus' body... to that temple in 2 Thess.2 that the Antichrist is coming to sit in, is even greater evidence of a Judaizer lie.
