We have extensive records from that period and there was never any such thing as a dual or subordinate “king” governing the Persian empire under Cyrus.

You are free to not believe that Media and Persia conquered Babylon. I guess you have let their squabbles baffle you into thinking that they are two empires. You are free to believe what you wan…[Read more]

The third Beast and metal is Greece
I have already acknowledged that prophecy contains some interpretation and that this is great. But not all prophecy is interpreted and you need to acknowledge that. Prophecy to some degree is a mystery, but a mystery that can be solved in the right season. There is no expectation that the Roman Empire should be…[Read more]

Are you silly? The Roman Empire didn’t exist yet. Lol. You might need to revise your history.

I am sorry brother it seems you are ignorant that the Greece Kingdom which also was future to so the called Biblical character Daniel.

Faking a History and Pretending It’s Real

To illustrate, consider the apologetic attempted at Bible Gateway, which consists of an attempt to “invent” a history of Persia (actually, more than one, so you can pick and choose I guess) that exists nowhere in the sources, and which consists largely of outright ignoring contrary facts:

Darius the Me…

Thanks Berean. Some good descriptions in that post.

Please show me at least one reference to Rome in whole of Daniel as a world kingdom as you repeatedly stick to your traditional view.

Prophecy talks about the future. You test prophecy by seeing if it came to past.

That is what I am doing. Looking at…[Read more]

The Book of Daniel states that the kingdom was given to the Medes and the Persians, thus according to that book, these two were one empire. 

Hi Proclaimer

I agree with that. The MEDO PERSIAN bear IS ONE KINGDOM

And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of…[Read more]

Please show me at least one reference to Rome in whole of Daniel as a world kingdom as you repeatedly stick to your traditional view. I have shown you plenty to prove Greece as the fourth kingdom. The writer of Daniel never dreamed of Rome or future kingdoms like Ottoman….

Any interpretation that makes Media and Persia two kingdoms does not agree with the Book of Daniel.

Rome was a significant kingdom. Far greater than you give it credit for it seems. It had two legs and lasted 1000 years more than most think too. While the East was taken over by the Ottomans, the West divided into roughly 10 nations.

Media and…[Read more]

The four beasts of Daniel 7

Daniel recounts, ‘The first was like a lion and had eagles’ wings. Then as I looked its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand upon two feet like a man; and the mind of a man was given to it.’

The winged lion is familiar in Babyl…[Read more]

Hi to all

DO PEOPLE BECOME ANGELS WHEN THEY DIE?

Daily Devotional

When the apostle Peter was miraculously delivered from prison, the young lady, Rhoda, who answered the door could hardly believe it was him. In her excitement, she left Peter locked outside and rushed to tell the others. Since he had been previously delivered by an angel, the…[Read more]

Christian interpretations are a dime a dozen just as scientific interpretations are. It’s a natural consequence of investigating something that needs interpreting. No big deal. Some theories are better than others.

Why the Medes and Persians are considered one kingdom in the Book of Daniel
“This was the dream, and now we will interpret it to the king. 37 Your Majesty, you are the king of kings. The God of heaven has given you dominion and power and might and glory; 38 in your hands he has placed all mankind and the beasts of the field and the birds in the s…[Read more]

The Book of Daniel states that the kingdom was given to the Medes and the Persians, thus according to that book, these two were one empire. So that leaves Rome as the two legs. Simple.

Please check my latest post for clarity on this.

Greece is the fourth metal
Daniel 6:28
So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

Daniel 5:27-28
TEKEL means that you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient. PERES means that your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.

The Book of Daniel describes the Medes and the…[Read more]

Here is another Christian interpretation of Dan 2 image.

The image of Daniel 2

The image has a head of gold, and Daniel interprets it as follows: ‘You, O king, the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the might, and the glory, and into whose hand he has given, wherever they dwell, the sons of men, the b…[Read more]

Xi Jinping ‘ratcheting up’ the military intimidation of Taiwan
The Australian Strategic Policy Institute’s Michael Shoebridge says Xi Jinping is “ratcheting up” the military intimidation of Taiwan and Australia and its allies need to take him seriously.
