"Rev 17:10-11"
Hi John:
Text from the NASB:
...and they are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while. And the beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction.Rev 17:10-11
I felt the Lord impressed upon me last night that this passage makes sense in light of the angel encounter of Vincent Tan, and Charity's dream.
The seven kings would start with Jimmy Carter and the Camp David Accords; which sought to give back the land gained in the Six-day war (i.e. dividing Israel). Here's the list of presidents and their years...
Carter 77-81Reagan 81-89Bush (sr) 89-93Clinton 93-01Bush (jr) 01-09Obama 09-17Trump 17-21Biden 21-25Trump 25-
I believe Vincent Tan's number of $2.34 was given on 12-23-1993; right at the beginning of the fourth king's reign (Clinton). Meaning we are at king #4 on the timeline at that point.
I believe Charity's dream was given on 4-22-09, right at the beginning of Obama's reign. Meaning we have king's #6 and #7 to go, before we meet Jesus (in the Rapture).
I don't have an explanation of why Biden's term is left out. Maybe an illegitimate election, or simple fact that the passage only references the first seven in sequence, not eight. Because the eighth king is one of the seven! So we have Clinton, Bush (jr), Obama and Trump to pick from as the eighth; since the others are deceased.
The fact that Trump will be inaugurated tomorrow is interesting to me, since he would be the "last trump". Yes, I believe God has a sense of humor!!!
Anyway, I would welcome any thoughts or comments on this; as "I really don't know, and I really don't care; I just want to go up in the air" (with Jesus)! I know, it rhymes...
That's my two cents...
Come Lord Jesus!!!
Thanks for all you do John, and to all the Doves. It's a great site!!!
Blessings to all...
