Hi John and Doves,
Hi Donna,
I have posted a Biblical history
of the Seven-headed Beast under a separate
heading, for the Doves and for your information. Some it
has been posted before, but this version has been
updated, and it might clear up how prophecy fits
into the historical timeline of the Divided Roman
Empire. I suggest anyone who is willing to learn
the truth about this Seven-headed Beast, take the time
to follow Daniel's color-coded
visions and study the references I have
given. This document holds the sum of my
25-yearlong pursuit of prophetic clarification relating
to the historical fulfilment of the worldly empires
featured in the Bible.
You will see from my document how the Roman
Empire was divided into two administrative governments -
that only lasted for a 200-year period of time - AD
285-476, after which The Western Roman
Empire ceased to exist!
Consequently, when the Iron legs of the
Roman Empire came under attack by the Clay of
the Germanic and Barbaric tribes
from North of the Danube during this period, Europe had
entered into Daniel's metallic man vision, (feet
and toes stage in Daniel chapter 2) where the iron
of Rome interfaced with the foreign clay of
the German tribes that had invaded Europe. The
German tribes won in AD 476, and the
transformation of Europe continued until the Papal
era, when the Papacy eventually became the
Holy Roman Empire with its 3 Reichs, (aka Daniel's
Fourth 'dreadful and terrible' Beast in
Europe Dan. 7:7 -->), which colonized the
New World and broke it in pieces); while
Germany caused Two World Wars),
which were centered on Europe.
Daniel chapter 7 fills in the details about the
German 3rd Reich 'Fourth Beast' and the 10
'horn' European nations that became founding
members in the League of Nations in 1920, until
Germany joined The League after them in 1926; until Hitler
the 'little horn' of the 4th Empire took Germany out
of the League in 1933 in preparation for war.
(This discovery took some investigation, and searching
out, but it is clearly documented)
You can also see from my
chart how the Governmental power and Capital of
Rome plus the Imperial Insignia of the former
Roman Empire was sent EASTWARD to New Rome in
Constantinople, (aka Byzantine Empire),
where it stayed for 1,000 years; until the iron
of Eastern Byzantine/Rome also interfaced
with foreign clay (as per the metallic
man feet and toes vision), until the
Muslim Ottoman Empire eventually became
Rome's heir, as the consecutive 7th
'head' (cf. the Beast vision in
Rev. 13). It is only later in Rev. 17
that we see Mystery Babylon is linked to the
7-headed beast when John's futuristic vision
refers to Mystery Babylon as the great city
(in the end time) that is in a symbiotic
relationship with the 7-headed beast and a yet to
arise eighth alliance of the beast, who
are drawn together from around the world and from
east of the River Euphrates in Rev. 9:13-21
and 16:12-14 to assemble at Armageddon.
The Ottoman's (7th head)
extensive territorial conquest was based
on parts of the Old Testament lion, bear and
leopard eastern empires (aka Babylon, Media-Persia
and Macedon-Greece) that had preceded Rome.
Daniel 7:11-12 - looking into the future - saw
that after the 4th Beast (German 3rd Reich)
in Europe and its little horn were
destroyed in burning flame (which occurred
historically in April/May 1945 at the end of WWII),
that these three old Empires would have
their lives prolonged for a season and a time. Thus,
they reappear in John's prophecy in Revelation
13:1-2 in his end time vision, which shows
the lion-bear-leopard beast
complete with all seven heads, and ten
'crowned' Muslim 'horn' nations. These 'crowns'
must relate to those nations gaining their independence and
sovereignty in the mid 20th Century -->
after the mandates imposed by UK and France after
WWI had ended, which also led to the declaration of
Israel as a nation in May 1948.
What many people don't
understand, is that Daniel's two major prophecies
are linked together by history and they
overlap one another! Without that
historical knowledge no ancient scholars had any
inkling of what Daniel meant regarding real earthly
events, until after WWI and
WWII. Here in the end
time, it is increasingly clear that the
Middle Eastern territories with their 10 Muslim
nations and 2.06 billion followers of Allah (whose
population have also infiltrated into the West) is
where the end-time focus lies; not in Europe!
I have frequently tried to
show the progression of these seven ancient and
modern Empires that existed on one
major piece of earth's real estate in the
East, via maps and diagrams, and I have
been faithful in warning others, but some people
just do not want to give up on Medieval
interpretations of scripture, when those Medieval
scholars had absolutely no idea about the two World
Wars that would transform the political,
governmental, religious and immigrant status of the
Nations in the World that will be affected
existentially in the days soon to come.
I am presently writing a
book about what lies ahead, and I can't afford to
spend any more time on this subject.
God Bless you in your
search for the truth!
