So now that various people have interjected whatever diversions from the OP, -- I forgot what the QUESTION was!
Rev. 13:4 'And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast:
and they worshipped the beast, saying,
"Who is like unto the beast? [therion = a wild beast (G2342)]
Who is able to make war with him?'
... This monstrous kingdom by which Gentile dominion in the earth will end. All of the nations appear like so many wild beasts, of which Nebuchadnezzar is symbolic, who became as a wild beast for seven times (Daniel 7:25).
Does anyone have anything to share on this?
Well, for one thing, Daniel 7:25 doesn't say "seven times", it only says three and a half times:
Daniel 7:25 He shall speak words against the Most High,
and shall wear out the saints of the Most High,
and shall think to change the times and the law;
and they shall be given into his hand
for a time, two times, and half a time.
WE'RE TOLD by the Hirelings that Daniel's seventieth week is the "
Tribulation Seven Years", but that's a lie. The Seventieth Week is for a completely DIFFERENT event -- AFTER WHICH "
shall come" the
destroyer.
Both Daniel 7:25 and Rev. 13:5 say
three and a half years:
Rev. 13:5 And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months;
But the issue still remains, -- who is the BEAST such that none can make war with him --, and I'm reminded of one of the "STAR WARS" movies where all the nation's representatives are gathered in an auditorium sized chamber. -- And I'm just now thinking that WE have an auditorium sized chamber where all the nations of the world are represented. Yep, the European Union! -- Yeah, NO.
Could it be that the United Nations is that One-World-Government? -- Nah, too obvious. We have to contrive something like:
OPEC! Or how about the
AFRICAN UNION! Or maybe we can get
SPAIN involved!
TURKEY, -- they gotta have a role, and
SYRIA too! -- No, don't leave this Post, I've got TONS more nonsense which you gotta follow with me, cause I believe ALL THE NONSENSE which stupid people espouse.
Give me a chance, I can guess what will tickle your ears, --
AUSTRALIA!
