What are you talking about? Rome does not fulfill one single verse regarding the beast of the sea. No not one. Does Nimrod? Yes, every single verse is fulfilled by the return of Nimrod.
Is Rome "was and is not". Will Rome ascend out of the bottomless pit? NOPE.
Point #2 The Beast Was and Is Not and Will Ascend Out of the Bottomless Pit
Revelation 17
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Is Rome the Assyrian? NOPE.
Point #3 The Antichrist is known as THE ASSYRIAN.
Isaiah 14
25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
Is Rome the King of Babylon? NOPE.
Point #4 The Antichrist is known as THE KING OF BABYLON
Isaiah 14
4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
Will the fir trees rejoice when Rome is laid down? NOPE
Point #7 The whole earth is at rest and the fir trees, and the cedars of Lebanon rejoice when he is laid down.
Isaiah 14
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
5 The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.
8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.
Nimrod fulfills all the descriptions of the beast of the sea. Rome fulfills none of them. Conclusion - Rome is not the beast of the sea, Nimrod is.
I already laid out all the verses that apply to the beast of the sea and as shown Rome fulfills none of them.
Is Rome an Antichrist and the beast of the sea. NO!
What is Rome? Rome is mystery Babylon, that dresses in purple and scarlet and has a gold cup in her hand.
Revelation 17
Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
That great city that reigns over the kings of the earth is Vatican City. Vatican City will be destroyed by the beast.
Revelation 17
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
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.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Is Rome involved in end times? Yes, heavily, but she is not an Antichrist.
Two horned beast in Book of Revelation that rises out of earth represents phase of Babylon that not only includes traditional pagans but also Apostate churches. It arises from earth because they are earthly minded not spiritually minded and focused on things like money. One Apostate church recently hid $32 billion from IRS. Some Apostate churches have their own bank. Parable of merchant shows how Christ is the merchant. The Apostate churches are Antichrist merchants who are "selling" a fake gospel that people are "buying". This explains "buying" and "selling" in Book of Revelation. Also Rome is a daughter of Babylon but not the mother of of paganism again ruling Rome as not being Mystery Babylon. Babylon is mentioned over 300 times in Babylon and always means literal Babylon. To get to Book of Revelation and have it mean some other city would not be consistent. In addition what would be the Anti-city of Jerusalem? Rome? does not make sense but Babylon makes sense and consistent from Old to New Testament. Also end time events revolve around middle east. Rome is not in the middle east. So this all points to the possibility of city of Babylon being rebuilt. Many theologians hold this view.What two horned beast?
The two horned beast of the earth has nothing whatsoever to do with Babylon. The two horned beast is the rider on the white horse and the false prophet. Ten horns = 10 kings. Two horns = 2 people.Two horned beast in Book of Revelation that rises out of earth represents phase of Babylon that not only includes traditional pagans but also Apostate churches.

That I can agree with.Babylon is mentioned over 300 times in Babylon and always means literal Babylon.
There is a difference between Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans and mystery Babylon that dresses in purple and scarlet.To get to Book of Revelation and have it mean some other city would not be consistent.
If they are going to rebuild the city of Babylon, they better get busy as the return of the Lord is at hand.In addition what would be the Anti-city of Jerusalem? Rome? does not make sense but Babylon makes sense and consistent from Old to New Testament. Also end time events revolve around middle east. Rome is not in the middle east. So this all points to the possibility of city of Babylon being rebuilt. Many theologians hold this view.
Two horned beast has nothing to do with the white horse. Two horned beast = Hades of 4th horseman. 4 horsemen align with 4 colored horseman chariots in Zechariah. 1.Assyrian (no coincidence Babylon not #1 see #4) 2. Media Persia, 3. Grecian and 4. Roman+Babylon . 4th chariot on Zechariah unique it has two types of horses equivalent to Roman Empire and Babylon. 4th horseman in Book of Revelation embodies two beast, Death = 10 horned beast or secular Roman Empire advancing death via persecuting Christians and Hades = Two horned beast is the Apostates of the Roman Empire advancing death via persecuting Christians.The two horned beast of the earth has nothing whatsoever to do with Babylon. The two horned beast is the rider on the white horse and the false prophet. Ten horns = 10 kings. Two horns = 2 people.
Rome is not the Mother of all spiritual fornication Babylon is the MotherRome is mystery Babylon that is a woman that dresses in purple and scarlet.
Book of Revelation says the city is spiritually like Sodom and Egypt so the city must be literal Babylon.There is a difference between Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans and mystery Babylon that dresses in purple and scarlet.
Jerusalem exist, Egypt rebuilt Avenue of the Sphinxes so no reason to believe Babylon can't be rebuilt.If they are going to rebuild the city of Babylon, they better get busy as the return of the Lord is at hand.
(Jerusalem) Is The Whore, Mystery Babylon The Great.Two horned beast in Book of Revelation that rises out of earth represents phase of Babylon that not only includes traditional pagans but also Apostate churches.

If you told people to look at a Levitical priest and asked them what color the priest was dressed in, they would blue and white. Yes there is gold and purple and scarlet in the mix, but the main color is blue and the second color is white.(Jerusalem) Is The Whore, Mystery Babylon The Great.
The Levitical High Priest Dressing represents "The Woman", that is dressed in purple, scarlet, gold, and precious stones as seen below
This does not make sense. Weren't Levitical priests men? Do you think there is any logic at all that these priests would be described as a woman.Yes "The Woman", The Levitical High Priest, Dressed In Purple, Scarlet, Gold, And Precious Stones
Uhhhh. No. Your claim would be the false one.(Jerusalem) is the seven Mount city, where the woman sits, not Rome as many falsely claim.
I think you will be able to find the blood of prophets in Rome both in the latter days and in the early days of the Church. Your argument is not cut and dried.The Roman Empire didnt exist to be guilty of the Prophets blood seen below, Jerusalem did.
(Revelation) 18:24KJV
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Does Jerusalem reign over the kings of the earth? No. It can't even reign over itself. Does the Pope reign over the kings of the earth. All through its history.Jerusalem (The Woman) that (Great City) as seen below, Jerusalem where Jesus Christ was crucified
(Revelation) 17:18AKJV
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Has the city of Jerusalem made the merchants rich? Whereas the Church of Rome has churches all over the world that buy from the merchants of the earth. And how much riches are in Vatican City itself.(Revelation) 18:19 AKJV
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
"Yes" It Will In The Future, When The Beast Takes His Seat In JerusalemDoes Jerusalem reign over the kings of the earth? No. It can't even reign over itself. Does the Pope reign over the kings of the earth. All through its history.
The woman is the Church of Rome as she dresses in purple and scarlet and has the blood of prophets and saints and carries a gold cup."Yes" It Will In The Future, When The Beast Takes His Seat In Jerusalem
Revelation 13:8KJV
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Revelation 16:13-14KJV
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
It's going to be important very soon, for some to know who the Antichrist is.
Since I believe the Word tells us who the Antichrist is, it might be important to begin by identifying who He is not.
The Antichrist is neither Jewish, nor Roman.
Comments?
I'm pretty sure there is a difference between someone that is "claimed" to be Jewish and someone who is Jewish. Nope, I am not Jewish.The coming Antichrist will be 'claimed'... to be Jewish. So you're very wrong about that. Could you kind of want to silence that idea by rejecting it right off the bat? Are YOU Jewish?
Oh, so you agree!That coming false one won't be Jewish in reality, but claimed to be of Judah, because that is a requirement of Messiah, born of the tribe of Judah and of the house of David.
The false Messiah will not be Lucifer. There is no scripture in the Word, properly translated, that points to Lucifer as the false Messiah.But in reality, it will be the "prince of this world" they are going to exalt as Messiah in Jerusalem. That's why the small group of peoples allied with Lucifer in Jerusalem will claim he is from Judah, so they can present him as 'king'.
Whoosh!... what I said surely went right over your head.I'm pretty sure there is a difference between someone that is "claimed" to be Jewish and someone who is Jewish. Nope, I am not Jewish.
I only agree with Scripture...Oh, so you agree!
The false Messiah will not be Lucifer. There is no scripture in the Word, properly translated, that points to Lucifer as the false Messiah.
Don't you just love these Biblically ignorant folks brethren that make those above kind of statements AS IF they actually knew what God's Word teaches?The false Messiah will not be Lucifer. There is no scripture in the Word, properly translated, that points to Lucifer as the false Messiah.
Dan 11:21-23
21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
KJV
The "small people" means a small group of Jewish leaders in Jerusalem, Satan's own synagogue of Satan, those who worship Lucifer and are preparing his one-world beast kingdom.
Satan is the dragon, but he is not either the beast of the sea or beast of the earth.Dan 11:30-31
30 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.
31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
KJV
Those who will forsake the covenant (old covenant once it is started again in Jerusalem), is that small group of Jews in Jerusalem that serve Satan.
And YES... that is... going to be Lucifer as the coming Antichrist -- Rev.12:7-17 Satan as the "dragon" being kicked out of the heavenly dimension down to this earth with his angels in the last days, and he will no longer be allowed in heaven to accuse us before God's Throne. And because very few actually understand about the 2 dimensions written of in God's Word, they will not think that it possible for Satan and his angels to appear in our earthly dimension when that is exactly what is going to happen.
Per Rev.11 and Rev.13 and Rev.17, Satan is shown that he is coming as that "dragon". Rev.13:4-8 says the whole world will worship the "dragon", except Christ's very elect whose names were written in the book of life from the foundation of the world.
In John 14:30, Lord Jesus said that "the prince of this world" is coming. And He meant that for after... His crucifixion.
Speaking of ignorance, you seem to be ignorant to this.Don't you just love these Biblically ignorant folks brethren that make those above kind of statements AS IF they actually knew what God's Word teaches?
How can you not know that the fullness of the comes in before part of Israel has its blindness removed? Hence, pretrib rapture.What do they do in yal's churches now-days, twiddle your thumbs? How can you not know these things, since they are written?
Ummm. So Lucifer comes out of the bottomless pit? How do you not know that Lucifer is not in the bottomless pit? As you said there is war in heaven. You seem very confused.Rev 11:7-8
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
KJV
Rev 13:4-8
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
KJV
Rev 12:9
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
KJV
Rev 13:11-14
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
KJV
Why is that phrase "in the sight of men" included in that false one's miracle working? Because it will be Lucifer doing all that ON THE EARTH IN SIGHT OF MEN, in OUR earthly dimension, NOT hidden behind a veil.
Revelation 17 also reveals his coming, ascending out of the bottomless pit at the end of this world.
Where was Daniel given to prophesy about there? JERUSALEM.Oh boy. So you have determined that a small people, means a small group of Jewish people.
