"Re: EAR, Daniel, beasts, goats and leopards and rams..."


 

EAR states of Daniel  chapter 7:11:-

 

v.11  I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.  v.12   AS CONCERNING THE REST OF THE BEASTS, THEY HAD THEIR DOMINION TAKEN AWAY: YET THEIR LIVES WERE PROLONGED FOR A SEASON AND TIME.  (He is here referring to the three remaining Beast Empires of Babylon, Persia and Greece.)

 

After Babylon was defeated by Persia and it’s dominion taken away, Babylon did not have it’s life extended by a season and a time – Babylon was FINISHED. Therefore, QED, Babylon is not one of the beasts of Daniel chapter 7.

 

 

Dan 5:25  And this is the writing that was written: A MINA, A MINA, A SHEKEL, AND HALF MINAS.

Dan 5:26  This is the meaning of the thing: A MINA: God has numbered your kingdom and finished it.

Dan 5:27  A SHEKEL: You are weighed in the balances and found lacking.

Dan 5:28  HALF MINAS: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.

Dan 5:29  Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and a necklace of gold around his neck. And they made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

Dan 5:30  In that night Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldeans, was killed.

Dan 5:31  And Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being a son of sixty two years.

 

 

 

It is clear, then, that the beasts in chapter 7 are not Babylon, Persia and Greece.

 

 

EAR States:-

 

v.25  “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High,...   On 30th January 1939, Hitler threatened the Jews during his Reichstag speech. On  6th October 1939 he made a further proclamation on the isolation of Jews.  In January 1940, the Nazis chose the town of Auschwitz in Poland as the site for a new concentration Camp.  From 1941, after wiping out his opposition, Hitler was then free to do what he wanted and his previous  propaganda programme was directed towards the persecution and killing of the Jews “the saints of the most High”, whom he blamed for all of Germany’s problems. 

 

 

Are we really to believe that the Jews in the holocaust were the saints of the most high.

 

 

Rom 11:20  Well! For unbelief they were broken off. And you stand by faith. Do not be highminded, but fear.

Rom 11:21  For if God did not spare the natural branches, fear that it may be He will not spare you either.

Rom 11:22  Behold, then, the kindness and severity of God: On those having fallen, severity. But on you, kindness, if you continue in the kindness. Otherwise, you will also be cut off.

 

Isn’t this scripture talking about the holocaust:-

 

Deu 31:16  The LORD said to Moshe, Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers; and this people will rise up, and play the prostitute after the strange gods of the land, where they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.

Deu 31:17  Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in that day, Haven't these evils come on us because our God is not among us?

Deu 31:18  I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evil which they shall have worked, in that they are turned to other gods.

 

 

 

Psa 37:18  The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their heritage will remain forever;

Psa 37:19  they are not put to shame in evil times; in the days of famine they have abundance.

 

The blameless are not put to shame – the Jews fell before their enemies in the holocaust which means they were not blameless.

 

 

It is clear that the Jews are still in unbelief but the Lord has plans for (perhaps only for some of) them. Those who perished in the holocaust were abandoned by their God for they had abandoned Him a long time ago.

 

EAR states:-

and think to change times and laws;...

“Legal subversion” was the very means by which Hitler and the Nazi party came to power.

Laws were enacted quickly from January 1933 onwards to secure Hitler’s dictatorial powers in March 1933, and to restrict the activity of any Parliamentary opposition by July 1933.

 

To fulfil the prophecy Hitler had to change ‘times’ as well. He didn’t. QED. EAR’s thesis is incorrect.
