Why the seven mountains are seven kingdoms
In the Book of Revelation we read about a beast comprising of seven heads rising out of the sea. Many are the interpretations of what the heads are and what this Beast is exactly. But we are told in the Book of Revelation that the seven heads are seven mountains and also seven kings. But how do we know…[Read more]

Why the seven mountains are seven kingdoms
Mountains in the Old Testament of often kingdoms or empires. In Jeremiah. 51:25 we see that Babylon is called a mountain.

“I am against you, you destroying mountain…”

And in Ezekiel 35:2, we read:

The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy agai…[Read more]

One theory among many.

It doesn’t tick many if any boxes.

Do you have any other theories you want to propose or quote?

Most see the seven successive empires of history in that part of the world.

It fits nicely and of course would not have been an option for many who lived before this history or part of it.

Who are the seven kings mentioned in the book of Revelation?

Rev 17:9-10

9 “This calls for a mind that has wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; also, they are seven kings, 10 of whom five have fallen, one is living, and the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain only a little whi…

So you have conceded that your two points are contradictory.

The more you hold onto them, the more you debunk your own arguments.

If you push argument 1, that debunks argument 2.

If you push argument 2, that debunks argument 1.

It would be good to know which of the two is more important to you.

Daniel is talking about kingdoms and so is Revelation.

Daniel is narrower in scope.

Revelation and knowledge increase with time.

And there is more to come.

Too many people live in the past.

Hi Proclaimer, it’s good idea to see that you are interpreting the texts. But I request you to restrict our debate to two books Daniel and Revelation.

Hi Proclaimer, I don’t know what is this (weight) lifting on Biblical texts. New Testament writers had lifted much from the Hebrew Bible to suit their agenda in this case the book of Revelation. This writer cleverly never quoted any writer of the Hebrew Bible but taken much from the book of Daniel.

Okay. Further proof for you that the heads w…[Read more]

It seems absurd to believe that it was lifted except for the kingdoms part.

Weird.

Is it worth addressing?

I think it defeats itself.

Is there any point?

The Four Beasts of Dan 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 Babylonian art. The eagle was a symbol of swiftness and t…[Read more]

The Image of Dan 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 beasts of the field, and the birds of the air, making you r…[Read more]

But you agree that your two points in question are contradictory?

Please take what you like brother but our beliefs are not facts.

But you agree that your two points in question are contradictory?

Adam.

If you make two points and they contradict, then obviously I have to debunk two points knowing that one is clearly wrong on the outset. Whereas, if you put forth the point that really bugs you, I can focus on one point and either double my effort or it would only require half my time. In short, it is hard spending precious time on things we…

If you make two points and they contradict, then obviously in the best case scenario, I have to debunk two points knowing that one is clearly wrong on the outset. Whereas, if you put forth the point that really bugs you, I can focus on one point and either double my effort or it would only require half my time. In short, it is hard spending…[Read more]

If that is the case. Then are you going to drop the argument that kings don’t represent kingdoms?

What’s this repeated question of dropping? Please see I am not owning anything here I am just quoting from these texts of Daniel and Revelation. If you can’t see the differences please leave it here and concentrate on the subject.

Thanks for long chat…..

ALL TRUE MISSIONARY EFFORT BEGINS AT HOME

They were both righteous before God, and blamelessly followed all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord. (Luke 1.6)

IN ENTERING INTO RELATIONSHIP with the Savior, regenerated man only returns to the relationship with God prescribed to him. But his first duty…[Read more]

Coming to the book of Revelation yes it has taken genre and motifs of the book of Daniel but its visions are not quite equal to Danielic you can observe this when we study the Chapters 13 & 17.

If that is the case. Then are you going to drop the argument that kings don’t represent kingdoms?
