And?
Most of you have been fooled. Some of you fool yourselves.
What makes anybody think that the Itallian's or the Catholic's would be revived and dominate the world in the last days? Where is there a legitimate threat from Rome today? So many of you falsely attribute the evils of the end-time religious system to "a false church!" Where are the scriptures that support that and a global empire and one world religion?
Does it matter to any of you that the words in the text of Daniel 2 simply do not support a global empire dominated by Rome?
Rather than reconsider what many of you already believe, you guys go on believing what you want regardless of the scriptural evidence.
The iron and clay are the offspring of Ishmael. Maybe one of you can explain how the following describes Rome! How is Rome divided? How is Rome partly strong and partly broken? How is Rome "mingle themselves with the seed of men?" How has Rome, "not cleaved one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
That's an accurate description of todays Arab world. The word Arab is a variation of the word 'crossed' (mixed). There are hundreds of Arabic tribes and clans. Rome is not accurately represented by the iron and clay. The Arab world is.
This is an accurate description of the Arab world. It's not at all a good description of Rome or he EU.
Maybe you can explain how Rome is infered in the legs of iron and toes mingled with iron and clay when Daniel used the word 'arab' (which denotes an Arabian or Arabia) to describe it!
Gen 21:13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he [is] thy seed. (Mixed with the seed of men)
God also knew what kind of people Ishmael's descendants would be like.
Gen 16:10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
Genesis 16:12 And he will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren
[literally, "he shall defy all his kinsmen"]."
Genesis 25:18 His descendants settled in the area from Havilah to Shur, near the border of Egypt, as you go toward Asshur. And they lived in hostility toward all their brothers.
In Habakkuk God say's that He will raise up the Babylonians in the end. NOT THE ROMANS!
Habakkuk 1:5 ¶Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.
It's the Arab's and Muslim's bent on world domination. NOT THE ROMAN'S!
The ‘little horn’ of Daniel 7 and 8 who takes his stand against the Prince of princes comes out of Alexander’s splintered kingdom and no where else. And the ‘king of the north" in Daniel 11 and 12, who exalts himself in the time of the end, comes out of the root of Antiochus, again a fragment of Alexander’s empire.
Why then do so many prophecy experts continue to tell us that Rome is somehow the origin of the beast!?
It is my belief, and the belief of many others, that the man of sin will be an Assyrian, and come from the geographical area of Ancient Assyria, which is part of the Grecian Empire and in accord with all of the scriptures quoted above. Isaiah 10, 14, and 30 and Micah 5 all depict an Assyrian as the tool of God's wrath in the last days. (Not a Roman) All the nations mentioned in every prophecy I know are Arab and/or Islamic today and they are commiting the abominations of the earth. Not Rome. Not Catholicism.
Hate to burst your bubble, but the RCC is one of the main practitioners of the Inter-Faith movement of joining with pagan religions.
Those who are deceived are those who put their trust in a religious system of man more than in God's Word as written.
Christ admits to the sending of His angel to prepare His way. He said that only the Father in Heaven knew of the day and hour when this would occur.
I am Christ's angel, and such is the power of the Father that I did not know that I was resurrected until later.
Say what? What are you talking about?
Jesus Christ has raised me from the dead.
So you are saying then that Jesus has already returned?
Looks like I've caught you and biblescribe with your pants down.
How many times has Christ and His angel come into the world? Answer : once
Can anything be concluded in the fact that Christ's angel has returned, Christ already having been resurrected, now the presence of His resurrected angel, too, being present in body again?
Is it that difficult to understand Christ saying "I am with you 'til the end of days." ?
He who has faith will recognize Jesus returning in the resurrection of Christ's angel.
That's your imagination.
But I see that you choose to respond to a question that I did not ask you but the one that I asked you . . .
But the issue seems to be rather that you are saying Jesus is an angel???
Yes, your ignorance aside - but I'm not treating it that way.
I did answer it. Here it is again, slightly different :
He who has faith will recognize Jesus returning in the resurrection of His angel.
