Ever think that isnt it funny nothing no prophets nothing in our time all these amazing wonderous things happened at the recording of these books yet isnt it a coincidence we hear nothing in all our years and even for many generations before us, maybe, its all just books and words, and theres nothing, and we are all just kididng ourselves and we will never get confirmation we will all just die, and nothing will happen that is of any merit in terms of religion in themeantime. nightmare.
The book of Daniel, according to historians was really authored during the hellenistic era. With the athiestic agenda amongst many historians, even that can be disputed. Let's assume they're correct though, that means Daniel's 'prophecies' were not legit ie that someone was just writing down events that had already occurred and presented them as if they had been foretold centuries earlier.
YET
the book of Daniel was older than the roman empire and Jesus Christ, yet it foretold events that were 100% accurate.
For example in Daniel 7 it talks about the 10 horns of the 4th beast (rome). It talks about how 3 were uprooted by another (the final horn) and how a little horn would rise to power, he would belong to the 10.
Now look at the Roman empire from Augustus Ceasar to Vespasian, to the year of 4 emperors, to Titus the son of Vespasian.
Why are these emperors singled out? it's because they ruled over the temple of God.
After the temple was destroyed, the emperors become irrelevant. So even though Titus was the 11 emperor 'horn' he is only relevant to the prophecies before he becomes an emperor, he takes charge of the seige of Jerusalem and destroys the temple.
So although these events took place long ago, we still know the prophecies were older than the events they foretold so accurately.
Now about the book of Revelation, it might appear subjective but look at Revelation 6's 4 horsemen prophecy.
The first horseman represents conquest
now look at that and go look at the entire age of colonialism.
The next horseman represents death. You only have to look at how these colonial empires and their colonial subjects went to war and how these events also resulted in the holocaust aswell as the bolshevik revolution.
look at the next horseman, does that not sound a lot like modern capitalism to you?
think Gap, apple, nike...sweatshops.
was watching a documentary on how walmarts/asda buy the tuna we eat from places like thailand where workers get paid $2 a day and live a very difficult life and then consider the amount we pay for canned tuna. There were a lot of documentaries about this sort of stuff and if you're familiar with john Pilger's material, the third horseman prophecy is very accurate and relevant.
Although many of the things within the book can are kind of subjective, it's only when they've been fulfilled we realise how accurae the were.
the end times beast system is a one world government...the whore of babylon also sits on the beast.
of course i know exactly how i understand those prophecies and their fulfillment..and these events are being fulfilled one after the other.
So we're still seeing lots of 'amazing wonderous' things.
#Feet of iron and clay, Daniel 2...they do not 'gel'
the great project to establish a totally mixed utopian united world system can only exist by force.
even i, as the son of immigrants, knows iron and clay don't mix.
