Daniel Chapter two

[Mem]

The Iron and Clay simply means that Rome is DIVIDED into many factions, then reunites as MANY NATIONS (the E.U.) hence they are partly strong (Germany, Spain, France, etc.) and partly weak (Estonia, Belarus, Gibraltar, etc.) Irn and clay doesn't mix well, of course, thus many nations trying to be a united front will not work great until they give all of their power over unto ONE MAN.

We would do well to refrain from giving all power, and that of interpretation include, to any one man.... or rondonmon in this case haaa, sorry, i couldn't resist

You give me nothing, as a Preacher of over 35 years, this is my calling. If you can't understand it, maybe you ought to put in as much effort as I have, then the Hoy Spirit will reveal all things unto you.

 

[Mem]

You give me nothing, as a Preacher of over 35 years, this is my calling. If you can't understand it, maybe you ought to put in as much effort as I have, then the Hoy Spirit will reveal all things unto you.

This all seems to have an awfully supercilious tone toward me but if I'm ever able to reach the pinnacle you have managed to achieve. I'll be sure to tell everyone about it.

[Nehemiah6]

44 “In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people

This verse needs to be interpreted properly in the light of Daniel 7. "In the time of those kings" indicates that judgment will fall on the earth in the time of those kings (Revelation 17:12-14). It is only after those kings and kingdoms are destroyed that Christ sets up His eternal Kingdom.

 

[Nehemiah6]

Maybe God just wanted the Israelites to know that he could use anyone to convey what he wanted to express, even if that person believed in other gods，For example, the Koran.

Do you realize how nonsensical this sounds?

 

[Omegatime]

This verse needs to be interpreted properly in the light of Daniel 7. "In the time of those kings" indicates that judgment will fall on the earth in the time of those kings (Revelation 17:12-14). It is only after those kings and kingdoms are destroyed that Christ sets up His eternal Kingdom.

Then what do you do with Rev 11:
We give thanks to thee, Lord God Almighty, who art and who wast,
that thou hast taken thy great power and begun to reign.
18 The nations raged, but thy wrath came,
and the time for the dead to be judged,
for rewarding thy servants, the prophets and saints,
and those who fear thy name, both small and great,
and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”

 

[Nehemiah6]

Then what do you do with Rev 11:
We give thanks to thee, Lord God Almighty, who art and who wast,
that thou hast taken thy great power and begun to reign.
18 The nations raged, but thy wrath came,
and the time for the dead to be judged,
for rewarding thy servants, the prophets and saints,
and those who fear thy name, both small and great,
and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”

This passage is IN ANTICIPATION of what is to come, even though it appears as though it is happening right then. There are many events between Revelation 11 and Revelation 19 -21.

So to put it in chronological order, this is how is happens:
1. The nations raged, but thy wrath came - Rev 14 & 19
2. destroying the destroyers of the earth -- Rev 19
3. thou hast taken thy great power and begun to reign -- Rev 20
4. rewarding thy servants, the prophets and saints -- Rev 20
5. and those who fear thy name, both small and great -- Rev 21
5. and the time for the dead to be judged -- Rev 20

what you' re saying is it is worthless to make sense of the scriptures in the order they are written
