Thanks for this video. I didn't think you would finish the series and wondered if you were ok. Looking forward to seeing chapter 12. Blessings and Maranatha.
Thank you for these videos! I lead the adult small group Bible study and these videos sometimes make a very nice supplement. The quality of these videos really high quality - script, visuals, narration, audio. 👍🏻
Right now Israel has no temple nor sacrifices for sin. And the Temple Mount sits on Mt Zion preventing the construction of the temple for the Lord. We live in interesting and trying times. Thank God that He is sovereign over all things.
And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. {Revelation 17:15} The seven headed beast of Revelation 17: The seven heads are symbolic of seven kingdoms, starting with the beast of Daniel chapter 7 1st < Babylon 2nd < Medo-Persia 3rd < Greece 4th < Pagan Rome 5th < Papal Rome; the little horn ("that was" & "is not" & "yet is") 6th < "one is" ^ The woman that rides the beast is in captivity at the time of John's vision, AFTER receiving the deadly wound from the (atheist) beast from the bottomless pit [Rev 11:7]. This is the beast of THE TIME of John's vision IN THE WILDERNESS. (Meaning that John is in the wilderness in his vision and not physical on Patmos, and he sees a beast that would come up from out of this wilderness. Read Job 38:26.) The 7th < "is not yet come" At the time of John's vision *in the wilderness* this head of the beast was yet to come; this is *the beast from out of the earth* [Rev 13:11]; (And he shall exercise all of the power of the first beast...) when this beast will speak like a dragon. This beast must continue a short time, as per the others before him. I believe by the testimony of Jesus, that we are now living in that "short time". The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. {Revelation 17:8} :11...even he is the eighth, AND IS OF THE SEVEN, and ascends out of the bottomless pit and goes into perdition. --There are seven heads at the time of John's vision, five kings/heads/beast are fallen, so this eighth is of the seven kingdoms...."that was"...."and is not"...."yet is" AND received a deadly wound; AND his deadly wound was healed. This wound is the loss of her (the woman/church that rides the beast.) temporal sword (also her captivity), which is the earthly secular world kingdom. This is the image of the beast (that great city), who like Babylon of antiquity, who thinks to usurp church and state craft. The number eight is a metaphor for the resurrection. The eighth is resurrected from a former head of the seven; the 5th head that received a deadly wound. (When he shall go into perdition: this will be the final dispensation of this beast with seven heads, that is a metaphor for satan.) Jesus; (The resurrection; Jn 11:25) Ἰησοῦς/Iēsous = 888 by counting the letter values of the Greek transliteration; I(10), E(8), S(200), O(70), U(400), S(200). In antiquity the mountain was not only a metaphor for a kingdom, but it was also symbolic of the head of a (river) dragon that was symbolic of a river that flows out from a mountain, after the spring thaw and overflowing its banks, spreading out in the form of the dragon's tail. The color is scarlet because it is symbolic of the blood of the saints of the Lord. A woman in prophecy is always a metaphor for a church, in this case (Jezebel) it is the fallen temple of God. The false prophet, a lamb (Christ like) with two horns, and/but will speak like a dragon (a wolf in sheep's clothing), will be the beast (from out of the earth ... the USA) that will make an image unto the first beast from out of the sea, who received a deadly wound and his deadly wound was healed. The two horns are a metaphor for two (equal) kingdoms in one, church and state craft. Medo-Persia also is expressed as having two horns [Dan 8:3], but one was higher, (Persia) and eventually usurps the other. This is the image of the first beast from out of the sea (Papal Rome). Once the wall of separation of church and state is lost, then will the second beast from out of the earth become the image of the first beast, who claims the authority of both church and state. Even so, come Lord Jesus. Amen.
Sorry for the late response. The Stone is from Daniel 2 where King Nebuchadnezzar has a dream of a statue representing the world kingdoms. Then a Stone without hands smites the statue and the whole thing comes down. This Stone in the dream speaks of Jesus Christ. It speaks how all the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdom of our LORD and His Christ (Revelation 11:15). That's why Jesus said in Luke 24:27, 44-45, Jesus said, "...all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me (Jesus)." Blessings
No prophecy is of any private interpretation. Thy way, O God, is in thy sanctuary, who is so great a God as our God? {Psalm77:13} ...as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith God, that thou make all things according to *the pattern* shewed to thee in the mount. {Hebrews 8:5} The *sanctuary* [tabernacle] was a pattern of types and shadows of the heavenly temple, and Jesus Christ is the substance of those types and shadows. He is the door to the sanctuary; Jesus is the door to the Kingdom of heaven. He is the inner court surrounded by white linen; which is symbolic of being covered Christ prefect righteousness. He is our passover sacrificed for us on burnt alter for sacrifice. He is the laver for washing; symbolic of the rebirth, being born again of the Spirit. He is the table of Showbread; the two stacks of loves of bread are symbolic of the word of God (the bread of life) in two testaments / witnesses, also the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve Apostles. He is the Lampstand; the oil being symbolic of his Spirit; the Lampstand symbolic of his light unto the world. He is our Altar of incense; making intercession for his saints. He is our Mercy seat covering the Ark of the covenant; Jesus is both our advocate standing for his saints with the Father and He is our judge in judment. Jesus Christ caused the sacrifices and their oblations to cease, (Dan 9:27) by his one perfect sacrifice. In contrast to the time of the Gentiles, wherefore the sanctuary of God is trodden under foot for forty and two months. How so? This church who calls herself the mother church, claims to be *the door* to salvation. And the white linen surrounding the inner court is the righteousness of Mary and the saints of the Roman church. She claims that Christ sacrifice and Atonement for sin was not sufficient, for she instituted seven (works) sacraments. She through infant baptism makes a mockery of the rebirth of the new man. Her Catechism thinks to replace the inspired word of God. Her prayers to dead saints and to Mary, thinks to replace Christ work of intercession at the altar of incense. Hers is a false spirit which thinks to cover the light of truth. This beast and her king think to change times and laws of God. And goeth into perdition.
Thank you for another great video on these End Times. One thing I notice is that the Red Dragon and antichrist references seem to be used interchangeably. I do believe the Red Dragon is an antichrist figure and it is listed further in Revelation 17. However, the dragon gives power unto the antichrist. The 1999 Rebecca Sterling prophesy describes this scene very well. Also, Revelation 19 lists the 3 beasts as each having a spirit like a frog exot their mouths. I believe all 3 of the beasts in Revelation 13 each have a unique human (or humanoid) form. Blessings 💛
Revelation 13:1-10 the (conglomerate) beast from out of the sea. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and *ten horns* and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto *a leopard* and his feet were as the feet of *a bear* and his mouth as the mouth of *a lion* and *the dragon* gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. {Revelation 13:1-2} Greek > philosophy Persian > religious sects and monachism Babylonian > sun worship (Mithraism) *Roman* > law A reformation truth! Every reformer of the reformation from John Wycliffe to John Wesley, came to the same conclusion on the truth of the antichrist beast and that man of sin by studying the scriptures. The Popes of Rome are THAT man of sin, and the Roman church is that woman that rides the beast of Revelation 17, having power over the nations and rulers of the earth. "And all the world wondered after the beast" She is both a church and a secular kingdom, diverse from all other previous beast which came before. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. {2 Peter 2:22} The Mother has many daughters today, who have fallen away from the faith, making an image to the beast, combining church and state.
If the queen of the south was queen Sheba from Eithopia, then the King of the South from verse 40-44 is Emperor HAILLE SELAISSE and the King of the North King of Italy with prime minister Benito Mussolini. Benito came to the south with a huge army and persecuted Jews. He fought in Eithopia and the Italian army conquered Libya, Somali and Egypt. He even bombed Palestine. Verse 45 is for the Anti-christ who is coming after the rapture of the church in Chapter 12...
You have it all wrong in this video. The little horns of Daniel 7 and 8 are not the same person. Daniel 8 is about Antiochus IV Epiphanes while Daniel 7 is speaking of Domitian the Roman emperor. The vile person and the willful king are not the same person either. The vile person you have right and is indeed Antiochus IV Epiphanes but the willful king is a Roman emperor, Augustus (Octavian). Daniel 11 is nothing but transitions without telling you and it does it again near the end but it swaps to Rome in verse 36. Verse 36 to the end of the chapter are not about Antiochus IV Epiphanes at all and that is why it does not historically match him.... because it clearly is not about him. Read Daniel 11:40 again, but very carefully and slowly. See the usage of the semicolon? Daniel 11:40, "And at the time of the end shall the king of the south shall attack HIM; and the king of the north shall come against HIM like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and HE shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through." This verse is NOT saying that the king of the south will attack the king of the north, not even close. In fact, it is the complete opposite. It is saying that both the king of the south and the king of the north will both attack 'HIM'. So who is this 'him' character? Well, it is none of the than the willful king (who is not the vile king). The willful king is Caesar Augustus (Octavian), the greatest Roman emperor of all time. When did all of this happen you may ask? This verse is telling you about the battle of Actium which took place in 31 BC. The king of the south, who was Cleopatra at the time shall attack the willful king, Caesar Augustus (Octavian) and at the same time the king of the North, who was Mark Antony at the time, would come against him (Caesar Augustus / Octavian) like a whirlwind, etc. This is a perfect description of the battle of Actium. All of that flows perfectly with how Daniel 11 has been reading while also keeping it chronological. Verses 41-44 are all also still about Caesar Augustus (Octavian) but for verse 45 it makes one last switch to Caesar Nero, a person very famous for not being helped at all even when trying to kill himself, they still did not help him. Then it continues on, as you said, in chapter 12 to say, "And at THAT TIME shall Michael stand up...etc." It is "the time of the end", NOT "the end of time". The end of time exists nowhere in the Bible. The time of the end of what? The end of the old covenant and the beginning of the new. Jesus was born during the reign of Caesar Augustus (Octavian) and this is when Jesus (Michael) stood up and began his ministry until he was crucified during the reign of Tiberius Caesar. That whole time from when Jesus was born until the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD was all the "time of the end". The end of the old covenant, not the end of the world or the end of time. It all matches perfectly. Daniel 11:40 tells you that at that time when that verse was playing out, it was the time of the end. They were already in it at that time. Remember what the book of Hebrews starts off by saying. Hebrews 1:1-2, "1 On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets. 2 But in THESE LAST DAYS He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe." The writer of Hebrews is telling you point blank to your face that they, back then, were in the last days. Also remember what John said in the beginning of Revelation in verse 9, "I, John, YOUR BROTHER AND PARTNER IN THE TRIBULATION and kingdom and perseverance that are in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and my testimony about Jesus." Again, John tells you that they were in the end times and he was their partner in the tribulation. Not us today in 2024 or at any future date.
Your explanation is Preterist theology. This is not giving the bible a wholistic interpretation. This leads people to believe there is no end times and it is all past. God’s wrath at the end is not for His church. Read Matthew 24 this end time is for the Jews. The church will be taken out before. As you can see from all the book of Daniel - this time is for the Jewish nation so they will turn back to Jesus and receive their “once rejected” Messiah.
@@catherinewest4494 It is preterist, although I disagree with most other preterists in saying that everything was all wrapped up by the end of 70 AD. I say it goes slightly farther out, to at least Domitian or possibly a bit farther to Hadrian but not much farther than that and I doubt it does go to Hadrian. There are no end times as in an end of the world. The Bible never says that there will be an end of the world. It says the, "time of the end". The end of what? The end of the old covenant, not the end of time or the world. The Jews already had their shot back before 70 AD and some did repent and become Christian. Then those Christians were told in Revelation to watch out for persecution and that for a time, the saints (Christians, not Jews who rejected Christ) would be over come. They were not told in Revelation to just sit back and relax and wait to be sucked up into the sky and disappear. The rapture, I have to disagree. No such thing ever happened nor will it. If you read Revelation carefully you will see that it is written to the 7 churches in Asia who were Christians (aka not to the Jews because they were about to be crushed by the Romans when Revelation was written in 69 or 70 AD itself, just before the destruction of the temple). And it says to the audience of that time (just prior to 70 AD) multiple times that the events would take place soon or shortly, not nearly 2000 years later to other people who are definitely not of the 7 churches in Asia who do not even exist anymore. Both the early and late date for the writing of Revelation are wrong. The king count in Revelation 17 is the key. No count fits except mine and they have to be KINGS, not kingdoms. Kingdoms do not work and that is not what it says. Those counts all fail and so does any count trying to make Nero the 6th king. The true count that fits without having to finagle anything is this: Julius Caesar does not count because he was never a king. 5 are fallen: 1 Augustus (Octavian), 2 Tiberius, 3 Caligula, 4 Claudius, 5 Nero. 3 plucked up according to Daniel. Daniel counts them but Revelation does not. This is how you can tell you are on the right count. If both agree even with the small change of counting or not counting the 3 who died in the year of 4 emperors. Those 3 are 1 Galba, 2 Otho and 3 Vitellius. All of which are skipped for Revelation's count. 1 "who is" : The one that was currently reigning when Revelation was written and that king was #6 Vespasian. Making the book written in either 69 or 70 AD just before the temple fell. 7th to continue a short space : 7 Titus who indeed only ruled for a little over 2 years which is indeed short. Anyone trying to say the short space king is Galba is blatantly ignoring the fact that the next 2 after Galba were also very short which then screws up the count... but they will just ignore and glance over that fact so they can keep their precious Nero as #6 and so they can cram everything into 70 AD. 8th who is of the 7: is Domitian. Domitian ruled for a short time in his father Vespasian's place until he could return from the battle front of the siege of Jerusalem. So he (Domitian) was, but was not, but then would be again. Making him the 8th or 11th, depending on Revelation's or Daniel's count. No other count fits and no other time period works. Neither Daniel nor Revelation was written to us today in 2024 or beyond. It was written for us, for our benefit, but not to us. Did you read the entire thing I posted or just the first part? It is all right there and it all lines up perfectly. Could you point me to a video that explains what you are seeing in Daniel? Check out this presentation on Domitian if you like: th-cam.com/video/uThyuSy8CsM/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this video. I didn't think you would finish the series and wondered if you were ok. Looking forward to seeing chapter 12. Blessings and Maranatha.
Thank you so much for a wonderful explanation I learnt so much
Thank you I’ve learned so much from your videos
Thank you for these videos! I lead the adult small group Bible study and these videos sometimes make a very nice supplement. The quality of these videos really high quality - script, visuals, narration, audio. 👍🏻
What does that matter if the content are lies.
Right now Israel has no temple nor sacrifices for sin. And the Temple Mount sits on Mt Zion preventing the construction of the temple for the Lord. We live in interesting and trying times. Thank God that He is sovereign over all things.
And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
{Revelation 17:15}
The seven headed beast of Revelation 17:
The seven heads are symbolic of seven kingdoms, starting with the beast of Daniel chapter 7
1st < Babylon
2nd < Medo-Persia
3rd < Greece
4th < Pagan Rome
5th < Papal Rome; the little horn
("that was" & "is not" & "yet is")
6th < "one is"
^
The woman that rides the beast is in captivity at the time of John's vision, AFTER receiving the deadly wound from the (atheist) beast from the bottomless pit [Rev 11:7]. This is the beast of THE TIME of John's vision IN THE WILDERNESS.
(Meaning that John is in the wilderness in his vision and not physical on Patmos, and he sees a beast that would come up from out of this wilderness. Read Job 38:26.)
The 7th < "is not yet come"
At the time of John's vision *in the wilderness* this head of the beast was yet to come; this is *the beast from out of the earth* [Rev 13:11];
(And he shall exercise all of the power of the first beast...) when this beast will speak like a dragon.
This beast must continue a short time, as per the others before him.
I believe by the testimony of Jesus, that we are now living in that "short time".
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
{Revelation 17:8}
:11...even he is the eighth, AND IS OF THE SEVEN, and ascends out of the bottomless pit and goes into perdition.
--There are seven heads at the time of John's vision, five kings/heads/beast are fallen, so this eighth is of the seven kingdoms...."that was"...."and is not"...."yet is" AND received a deadly wound; AND his deadly wound was healed.
This wound is the loss of her (the woman/church that rides the beast.) temporal sword (also her captivity), which is the earthly secular world kingdom.
This is the image of the beast (that great city), who like Babylon of antiquity, who thinks to usurp church and state craft.
The number eight is a metaphor for the resurrection. The eighth is resurrected from a former head of the seven; the 5th head that received a deadly wound.
(When he shall go into perdition: this will be the final dispensation of this beast with seven heads, that is a metaphor for satan.)
Jesus;
(The resurrection; Jn 11:25) Ἰησοῦς/Iēsous = 888
by counting the letter values of the Greek transliteration;
I(10), E(8), S(200), O(70), U(400), S(200).
In antiquity the mountain was not only a metaphor for a kingdom, but it was also symbolic of the head of a (river) dragon that was symbolic of a river that flows out from a mountain, after the spring thaw and overflowing its banks, spreading out in the form of the dragon's tail.
The color is scarlet because it is symbolic of the blood of the saints of the Lord.
A woman in prophecy is always a metaphor for a church, in this case (Jezebel) it is the fallen temple of God.
The false prophet, a lamb (Christ like) with two horns, and/but will speak like a dragon (a wolf in sheep's clothing), will be the beast (from out of the earth ... the USA) that will make an image unto the first beast from out of the sea, who received a deadly wound and his deadly wound was healed.
The two horns are a metaphor for two (equal) kingdoms in one, church and state craft.
Medo-Persia also is expressed as having two horns [Dan 8:3], but one was higher, (Persia) and eventually usurps the other.
This is the image of the first beast from out of the sea (Papal Rome). Once the wall of separation of church and state is lost, then will the second beast from out of the earth become the image of the first beast, who claims the authority of both church and state.
Even so, come Lord Jesus. Amen.
thank you for your explanation though i have a question
how possibly is the stone becoming Jesus i need clarification on that
Read Daniel 2:34
Sorry for the late response. The Stone is from Daniel 2 where King Nebuchadnezzar has a dream of a statue representing the world kingdoms. Then a Stone without hands smites the statue and the whole thing comes down. This Stone in the dream speaks of Jesus Christ. It speaks how all the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdom of our LORD and His Christ (Revelation 11:15).
That's why Jesus said in Luke 24:27, 44-45, Jesus said, "...all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me (Jesus)."
Blessings
No prophecy is of any private interpretation.
Thy way, O God, is in thy sanctuary, who is so great a God as our God?
{Psalm77:13}
...as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith God, that thou make all things according to *the pattern* shewed to thee in the mount.
{Hebrews 8:5}
The *sanctuary* [tabernacle] was a pattern of types and shadows of the heavenly temple, and Jesus Christ is the substance of those types and shadows.
He is the door to the sanctuary; Jesus is the door to the Kingdom of heaven.
He is the inner court surrounded by white linen; which is symbolic of being covered Christ prefect righteousness.
He is our passover sacrificed for us on burnt alter for sacrifice.
He is the laver for washing; symbolic of the rebirth, being born again of the Spirit.
He is the table of Showbread; the two stacks of loves of bread are symbolic of the word of God (the bread of life) in two testaments / witnesses, also the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve Apostles.
He is the Lampstand; the oil being symbolic of his Spirit; the Lampstand symbolic of his light unto the world.
He is our Altar of incense; making intercession for his saints.
He is our Mercy seat covering the Ark of the covenant; Jesus is both our advocate standing for his saints with the Father and He is our judge in judment.
Jesus Christ caused the sacrifices and their oblations to cease, (Dan 9:27) by his one perfect sacrifice.
In contrast to the time of the Gentiles, wherefore the sanctuary of God is trodden under foot for forty and two months.
How so?
This church who calls herself the mother church, claims to be *the door* to salvation.
And the white linen surrounding the inner court is the righteousness of Mary and the saints of the Roman church.
She claims that Christ sacrifice and Atonement for sin was not sufficient, for she instituted seven (works) sacraments.
She through infant baptism makes a mockery of the rebirth of the new man.
Her Catechism thinks to replace the inspired word of God.
Her prayers to dead saints and to Mary, thinks to replace Christ work of intercession at the altar of incense.
Hers is a false spirit which thinks to cover the light of truth.
This beast and her king think to change times and laws of God.
And goeth into perdition.

Are you deleting my comment or is youtube broken? Yea, youtube auto deleting it cause its too much text or because I used bold....
But there is no temple yet.
And there is no truth to be found here.
Revelation 13:1-10 the (conglomerate) beast from out of the sea.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and *ten horns* and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
And the beast which I saw was like unto *a leopard* and his feet were as the feet of *a bear* and his mouth as the mouth of *a lion* and *the dragon* gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
{Revelation 13:1-2}
Greek > philosophy
Persian > religious sects and monachism
Babylonian > sun worship (Mithraism)
*Roman* > law
A reformation truth!
Every reformer of the reformation from John Wycliffe to John Wesley, came to the same conclusion on the truth of the antichrist beast and that man of sin by studying the scriptures.
The Popes of Rome are THAT man of sin, and the Roman church is that woman that rides the beast of Revelation 17, having power over the nations and rulers of the earth.
"And all the world wondered after the beast"
She is both a church and a secular kingdom, diverse from all other previous beast which came before.
But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
{2 Peter 2:22}
The Mother has many daughters today, who have fallen away from the faith, making an image to the beast, combining church and state.

You have it all wrong in this video. The little horns of Daniel 7 and 8 are not the same person. Daniel 8 is about Antiochus IV Epiphanes while Daniel 7 is speaking of Domitian the Roman emperor.

The end of time exists nowhere in the Bible. The time of the end of what? The end of the old covenant and the beginning of the new. Jesus was born during the reign of Caesar Augustus (Octavian) and this is when Jesus (Michael) stood up and began his ministry until he was crucified during the reign of Tiberius Caesar. That whole time from when Jesus was born until the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD was all the "time of the end". The end of the old covenant, not the end of the world or the end of time. It all matches perfectly. Daniel 11:40 tells you that at that time when that verse was playing out, it was the time of the end. They were already in it at that time. Remember what the book of Hebrews starts off by saying. Hebrews 1:1-2, "1 On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets. 2 But in THESE LAST DAYS He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe." The writer of Hebrews is telling you point blank to your face that they, back then, were in the last days. Also remember what John said in the beginning of Revelation in verse 9, "I, John, YOUR BROTHER AND PARTNER IN THE TRIBULATION and kingdom and perseverance that are in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and my testimony about Jesus." Again, John tells you that they were in the end times and he was their partner in the tribulation. Not us today in 2024 or at any future date.
Your explanation is Preterist theology. This is not giving the bible a wholistic interpretation. This leads people to believe there is no end times and it is all past. God’s wrath at the end is not for His church. Read Matthew 24 this end time is for the Jews. The church will be taken out before. As you can see from all the book of Daniel - this time is for the Jewish nation so they will turn back to Jesus and receive their “once rejected” Messiah.
@@catherinewest4494 It is preterist, although I disagree with most other preterists in saying that everything was all wrapped up by the end of 70 AD. I say it goes slightly farther out, to at least Domitian or possibly a bit farther to Hadrian but not much farther than that and I doubt it does go to Hadrian.
There are no end times as in an end of the world. The Bible never says that there will be an end of the world. It says the, "time of the end". The end of what? The end of the old covenant, not the end of time or the world. The Jews already had their shot back before 70 AD and some did repent and become Christian. Then those Christians were told in Revelation to watch out for persecution and that for a time, the saints (Christians, not Jews who rejected Christ) would be over come. They were not told in Revelation to just sit back and relax and wait to be sucked up into the sky and disappear. The rapture, I have to disagree. No such thing ever happened nor will it. If you read Revelation carefully you will see that it is written to the 7 churches in Asia who were Christians (aka not to the Jews because they were about to be crushed by the Romans when Revelation was written in 69 or 70 AD itself, just before the destruction of the temple). And it says to the audience of that time (just prior to 70 AD) multiple times that the events would take place soon or shortly, not nearly 2000 years later to other people who are definitely not of the 7 churches in Asia who do not even exist anymore.
Both the early and late date for the writing of Revelation are wrong. The king count in Revelation 17 is the key. No count fits except mine and they have to be KINGS, not kingdoms. Kingdoms do not work and that is not what it says. Those counts all fail and so does any count trying to make Nero the 6th king. The true count that fits without having to finagle anything is this:
Julius Caesar does not count because he was never a king.
5 are fallen: 1 Augustus (Octavian), 2 Tiberius, 3 Caligula, 4 Claudius, 5 Nero.
3 plucked up according to Daniel. Daniel counts them but Revelation does not. This is how you can tell you are on the right count. If both agree even with the small change of counting or not counting the 3 who died in the year of 4 emperors. Those 3 are 1 Galba, 2 Otho and 3 Vitellius. All of which are skipped for Revelation's count.
1 "who is" : The one that was currently reigning when Revelation was written and that king was #6 Vespasian. Making the book written in either 69 or 70 AD just before the temple fell.
7th to continue a short space : 7 Titus who indeed only ruled for a little over 2 years which is indeed short. Anyone trying to say the short space king is Galba is blatantly ignoring the fact that the next 2 after Galba were also very short which then screws up the count... but they will just ignore and glance over that fact so they can keep their precious Nero as #6 and so they can cram everything into 70 AD.
8th who is of the 7: is Domitian. Domitian ruled for a short time in his father Vespasian's place until he could return from the battle front of the siege of Jerusalem. So he (Domitian) was, but was not, but then would be again. Making him the 8th or 11th, depending on Revelation's or Daniel's count.
No other count fits and no other time period works. Neither Daniel nor Revelation was written to us today in 2024 or beyond. It was written for us, for our benefit, but not to us.
Did you read the entire thing I posted or just the first part? It is all right there and it all lines up perfectly.
Could you point me to a video that explains what you are seeing in Daniel?
