Your opinion that is proved wrong by how the Romans didn't fulfil
Daniel 7:23-25,
It's not opinion, it's literally history. The Roman empire came after the Greek empire. The roman empire was the fourth world empire.
1.)The First world wide "one government" empire = babylon, the head of Gold, the lion
Daniel 2:37
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 children of man, the beasts of the field, and the birds of the heavens, making you rule over them all—
you are the head of gold.
2.)The Second world wide "one government" empire= Persia/Mede, the chest and arms of Silver, the bear
Daniel 2:39
Another kingdom inferior to you shall arise after you
2 Chronicles 36:20
He took into exile in Babylon those who had escaped from the sword, and they became servants to him and to his sons
until the establishment of the kingdom of Persia,
2 Chronicles 36:23
Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah
3.) The Third world wide "one government" empire= Greek, the middle and thighs of bronze, the leopard
Daniel 2:39
and yet a third kingdom of bronze,
which shall rule over all the earth.
Daniel 8:20
s for the ram that you saw with the two horns, these are the kings of Media and Persia.
And the goatd is the king of Greece. And the great horn between his eyes is the first king.
4.) The Fourth world wide "one government" empire= Rome, the legs of iron and feet iron/clay, the beast
Daniel 2:40-41
And there shall be a
fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron breaks to pieces and shatters all things. And like iron that crushes, it shall break and crush all these.
41And as you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom, but some of the firmness of iron shall be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the soft clay.
Daniel 7:23
“Thus he said: ‘As for the fourth beast, there shall be a
fourth kingdom on earth,
which shall be different from all the kingdoms,
and it shall devour the whole earth,
and trample it down, and break it to pieces.
________________________________________________________________
Now we arrive at Daniel 2:44
And in the days of
those kings (the 4th empire) the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people.
So now we have the 4 world wide "one government" empires. During which empire did Christ receive kingdom and become king?
When did Christ ascend to heaven to receive a kingdom? During the Roman empire
Luke 19:12 He said therefore, “A nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and then return.
When did Christ receive all authority in heaven and on earth? During the Roman empire
Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
When did Christ receive all rule, dominion and power over every name? During the Roman empire
Ephesians 1:21
far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.
When did Christ become ruler over the kings of the earth? During the Roman empire
Revelation 1:5
and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Your credibility goes down the plughole, making a direct contradiction of Scripture.
Daniel 7:25b
There's no contradiction when one knows what the verse actually says. No where in daniel 7 does it say the 4th kingdom controls the world for only a time, times, and half a time, as you say it does.
We are not given in daniel 7 how long the 4th kingdom controls the world. BUT we are given how long one of the horns, which comes from the 4th kingdom, wears out the saints: time, times, and half time
“Thus he said: ‘As for the fourth beast,
there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth,
which shall be different from all the kingdoms,
and it shall devour the whole earth,
and trample it down, and break it to pieces.
24As for the ten horns,
out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise,
and another shall arise after them;
he shall be different from the former ones,
and shall put down three kings.
25He shall speak words against the Most High,
and shall wear out the saints of the Most High,
and shall think to change the times and the law;
and they shall be given into his hand
for a time, times, and half a time.
