Sister Ellen:
I believe your logical conclusion and I quote: “I can only think of one group of people who commonly behead their enemies, and still do to this day, and even gloat about it. And they are not Romans” is in fact correct!
I remember several years ago thinking about this same subject, before The Lord opened my eyes to the coming Super Islamic Caliphate being the final beast empire rather than the EU . Back then, I thought the French guillotine would be the way Revelation 20:4 would be fulfilled, but know I know for 100% sure it will be by the sword of Allah!
I put together a series of maps of the empires in the book of Daniel that prove the Muslim empire AS DEPICTED BY DANIEL THE PROPHET is in fact the coming beast empire. Scroll to the bottom of this post and you will see what I mean. http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2006/watchman102.htm
God Bless You Ellen
