I have come to examine Danial 7 because I suspect it holds within it the true nature of the NT. I will try my best to keep within the doctrine of Lord God of Israel. It is through HIS power that I ask to be made to understand. If I offend you, Lord God of Israel; please forgive me. For I am but a simple man trying to understand your Wondrous Glory.
I suspect the fourth beast in Dan7 is indeed Babylon which is Rome. The words that the horn speaks against the Most High is words from the NT. These words would be words like John1:18, 3:16, 18. These words of the NT speak out against Gen6:2, 4, Job1:6, 2:1, 38:7 and Ezek45:8. All of these references in the OT makes it clear God has more then one son. The temple depicted in Ezekial suggests God has seven or eight sons. They are whom the offering tables are for. Other words would be like Eph5:2. It is said Jesus is Gods son and God sacrificed His son for our sins.
This is what God expresses about child sacrifices: Deu12:31, Ezek20:31, Jer32:35. These type of statements by God makes it clear God does not condone human or child sacrifices. It is one of the things Israel was doing that polluted the religion of God. But yet this remains to be the entire bases of the NT. It is also one of the things that halted the daily sacrifices to God. Christians say Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice, thus we do not have to sacrifice to God. Now read Dan8:11. The NT also rebels against the Sabbath. All of these thing can be considered as a speaking out against the Most High, which is God.
The depiction of the true Messiah is in Dan7:13, 14. The NT have plagiarized or stolen several prophesies of the true Messiah and try to give the true Messiahs identity and actions to Jesus. Lk21:27, Rev14:14, 15, 16, these are places plagiarized from Dan7:13, 14.
I say Dan7:13, 14 is the true Messiah because of Dan7:14. This is in harmony with what God has spoken about the Branch, Messiah or Anointed one, Ezek37:25. It will be the return of the residue of Israel to the promise land. They will be led by a man that will have the excellent stone with seven eyes and an engraving on it. And they will rebuild Jerusalem from old. That kingdom will slowly become the dominant kingdom or country on earth. It will excel in every thing. And it will only have one religion, that is the religion of God. Its Law book will be the Five Books of Moses, and it will receive a new covenant with God.
In the NT they were successful in stealing the prophesies of the Messiah and writing the story of Jesus. But what they could not accomplish is the physical actions the Messiah will do. So they overcame this by creating the second coming. The NT have been successful for 1,998 years possibly longer. Dan7:25 suggest the NT will be successful for 2,500 years. I for one am leery about timed prophesies. Due to God’s statement in Jer49:19, 50:44. As for putting dates or time on prophesy, I leave that in the hands of God Almighty.
In the OT God did send Israel saviors. In order to know if Jesus is one of those saviors one would have to examine the qualifications of a savior. A savior is defined as one who brings Israel to the religion of God and out of the hands of a said conqueror. Jesus did not do that. He did not bring Israel to the religion of God and he delivered no one from the hands of anybody. Due to the fact this can be seen through a simple examination of the Scripture, they created the second coming.
If one keeps the prophesy with in the Book itself, the beginning rein of the fourth beast would be when Israel was sold to Babylon, Jer43:10, 27:6 and 25:9. I suspect that Rome of today is indeed the Rome of the NT and Babylon of the OT. And during the time of Babylon’s absolute rein they changed their name and identity by destroying libraries and key cities. I feel it is indeed Rome who spoke the words or made the agreement with Satan in Isa28:15. And the NT is their contract. And as you can see every thing said by Jesus is in read, as in blood.
Dan7:25 is a description of the Pope introducing the Gregorian calendar in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII. Also the Julian calendar introduced in Rome 46BC. It is also a description of Jewish and Muslims warring against Catholic or Christian kings. As you can see the saints (us) or Israel have been given to the Christian rule or philosophy.
The seven horns on the head of the fourth beast Is the seven churches in Revelations. The eighth horn that speaks grate things is the NT or Jesus. To know what three horns fell, one would have to study the religions that fell in the coming of Catholic rein. I suspect one could be Constantine and/or Protestantism.
