Futurist Only The Wars of Daniel 7

[One God and Father of All]

No standing back up of the statue. Once down, it is down for good.

There is a standing back of the statue because the first application applied Babylon, Media-Persian, Greek and Roman. Each of those kingdoms have come and gone.
After the image is again standing, it will come down for good.

 

[One God and Father of All]

The Assyrian = Gog, the king of the north, behemoth, the 4th Beast, the beast with 10 horns and 7 heads.

The little horn = An evil king in Israel who sets himself up as God and sits in the temple of God, man of sin, Leviathan, the king of Tyre, the red dragon, has 7 heads and 10 horns because he rides on the beast with those things, Satan and the devil because he embodies all that is evil.

The Assyrian is the rod of God’s anger to bring judgment upon His people.

God is not bringing judgment on His people, the Jews, in Revelation, but salvation.

The Assyrian as the rod of God's anger in Isaiah 10:5 is not talking about the end times, but about back in old times, 700 BC era, when God had the Assyrians come up against Israel which became unjust and unrighteous in the treatment of the poor and lowly, and from which idols were being made and distributed.

The Assyrian in Isaiah 10:5 is Sennacherib. After God used Sennacherib for His purpose, God broke Sennacherib because he became boastful about his success being on his own. Sennaracherib die of parricide.

We need to try to understand the prophets of old in order to understand the prophecy of Jesus because one name is put for another.
For example, when Ezekiel speaks of Gog, he says that Gog was spoken of preciously by the prophets. But we can’t find Gog being spoken of unless we can equate Gog with the Assyrian. Because it is the Assyrian who was spoken of.
When we compare what is said of The Assyrian, we find that the same is prophesied of Gog.
So, Gog and the Assyrian represent the king of the north who is come against Israel and who is to fall upon the mountains of Israel.
In Revelation, Gog, or the Assyrian, is spoken of as the beast with 10 horns and 7 heads.

Only to the remnant who refuse to worship the red dragon and the beast.

Flee to the mountains!

When?

When you see the Abomination of desolation.

??

When the image of the red dragon and beast is set up in the temple.

What temple?

The one yet to be built.

You would call the time/times/half time - 3 1/2 years, but it is a little less than 3 1/2 years.

I keep asking you what is the meaning of a 'season and a time'.

Dan 7:25 is 'time, times, half a time'.

Are you literally trying to say that a 'season and a time' is 1256 days?

Time = 1 year
Times = 2 years
half a time= half a year.

A season and a time is obviously not 3.5 years - it is not even 2 years.

The image shown in Dan 2 represented the 4 kingdoms that were to come. Each kingdom has since come and gone. However, when the stone strikes the image it is again standing fully erected, and will then be ground to powder. Which shows that those kingdoms have a second application in prophecy. Those 4 kingdoms were all military divisions, and will be again when the image is reconstructed.
Daniel 7 speaks of this same reconstructed image as the four great beasts.

Yes, the Dan 7 4 beasts mirror the Dan 2 kingdoms. But the Dan 7 4 beasts are the end times equivalents.

The Assyrian is the leader of the third beast of Dan 7, the Leopard with 4 heads, not the 4th beast with 10 horns. The Assyrian is the Dan 8 Little Horn of Dan 8:9-12.
Dan 7

6Next, as I watched, another beast appeared. It was like a leopard, and on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.​

​

The Dan 7 Leopard is given authority to rule - that is the Assyrian, the Dan 8 Little Horn who arises out of the ram's country that split into 4 parts (= the Leopard's 4 heads) (Daniel 8:8).

the Dan 7 4th Beast with 10 horns is Tyre, the Dan 7 Little Horn. The 10 horns are the Psalm 83 coalition with 10 countries (Psalm 83:5-8). It is Tyre who calls himself God (Ezekiel 28:2).

And yes, Gog does appear to be the Assyrian. But I don't think the Medes/ Persians (Dan 7's 2nd beast the bear) are to be equated to Gog.

Copy and paste the text you are referring to that has "a season and a time" in it. You are mixed up.

The time/times/half times is an expression that is "nominally" 3 1/2 years, but just like a two by four piece of lumber is "nominally" 2" x 4"- but if you actually measured it would be less, 1 1/2 " x 3 1/2".

The time/times/half times is a little less than 1260 days.

Flee to the mountains when the abomination of desolation statue image of the beast-king is set up on the temple mount - out in the open.

Dan 7:11 “I looked then because of the sound of the great words that the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire.

12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for

a season

and a time.

Daniel 7:12 Interlinear: and the rest of the beasts have caused their dominion to pass away, and a prolongation in life is given to them, till a season and a time.
