The Russian Bear awakes

Hi Lee,

Actually in prophecy a `head` is a leader and a horn is power but if it is crowned then it is Political Power.

As to the `beasts,` note they shall arise.....future to Daniel. he was already in the last part of Babylon`s rule, so it is not them. Also note that the 3 beasts get to go into the Lord`s kingdom rule in the millennium. Thus again they are not those past rulers. yet again we see the last beast treading down the other beasts which means they are contemporaneous - rule at the same time. Thus again this was not possible with the past rulers as they ruled one at a time.

Thank for your comments,

A HORN can ALSO BE A RELIGIOUS KING THAT DECEIVES THE ELECT.


What does Scripture say about your conclussion regarding the prophectic word "horn"

Consider the "SYMBOLIC" word HORN.


DANIEL 7

• In Daniel 7:7 we are shown a 4th dreadful beast with 10 HORNS
• In Daniel 7:24 we are told the 10 HORNS are 10 KINGS.

DANIEL 8

• In Daniel 8:3 we are shown a Ram with 2 HORNS.

• In Daniel 8:5 we are shown a He Goat with 1 notable HORN.
• In Daniel 8:21 we are told the 1 notable HORN is the 1st KING of Greece.

A HORN is ALWAYS a KING(WITH A KINGDOM . . . . unless otherwise noted
REVELATION 17

• In Revelation 17:3 we are shown a scarlet beast with 7 HEADS and 10 HORNS.
• In Revelation 17:12 we are told the 10 HORNS are 10 KINGS without kingdoms.

May God Bless!

I appreciate your comments, but SCRIPTURE CLEARLY STATES "in the LATTER TIME OF THEIR(those four)

Click to expand...

Do you know why it doesn't say that in verse 23, Lee? Because the four did not have collectively a kingdom singular. If it were the four in verse 23 as the transgressors - it wiould have said in the latter of their "kingdoms".

The EU is a perfect as the kingdom in verse 23. The EU has gone through a series of reorganizations and name changes since being founded by the treaties of Rome - which they are proud of.

So it is in the latter time of the EU, when the transgressors are come to the full - that is, all ten kings are in place, that the little horn stands up.

23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

___________________________________________________________________________

Lee, focus on the transgression by the little horn and the ten kings who give their "kingdom" to him in Revelation 17. It starts talking about the transgression in verse 12 by the little horn. Daniel was drawn to the vision of the transgression by the little horn in particular.

Gabriel was told to explain what Daniel saw in the vision. Gabriiel quickly summarized Alexander coming to power and his kingdom broke up into four kingdoms. So we now know where the little is going to come from with a strong army.

Verse 23, though, is about the transgressors who are aligned with the little horn. Which was not the four breakup kingdoms. The part of the vision involving the transgressors - not the four kingdoms - is time of the end.

12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.

23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.


Lee, the "their" in verse 23, their kingdom, refers to the transgressors aligned with the little horn. In the latter time of the transgressors kingdom, when they have come to the full - meaning the ten kings are in place.

In 1993 I had a very profound prophetic dream that a new Tsar would arise in Russia. How odd is it that a Protestant Texan would have such a dream ??

I watched for him. Then in 1999 when Yeltsin kept hiring and firing Prime Ministers, I saw a TV news report with a video new clip about Yeltsin appointing little-known Putin as his newest PM. For some unknown reason, I immediately knew Putin was the one. Eighteen years later, Putin still rules Russia. However, the surprise for me was how Putin became the anti-Tsar by embracing antichrist Bolshevism. If Putin can still pull it off and somehow turn around and become the Tsarist hero in God's end of the age passion play, I would be pleasantly surprised [but I'm not holding my breath.] Meanwhile, like Pharaoh in Exodus, God's villain [Gog] is also a necessary part of God's end time passion play. Hero or villain, Putin has an important role to play which is why I have devoted so much time and effort to be informed.

And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was Death; and Hades followed with him. And there was given unto them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

Click to expand...

Do you understand what fourth part of the earth, do you, that God gave the pale horse the authority OVER IT to kill with spiritual sword, and spiritual famine, and spiritual death, and finally the wild beasts, Satan's body of carnal men?

See, the third parts you read about in the book of Revelation and fourth parts point to sacrificial offerings (Check with Exodus 29:40; Leviticus 23:13; Numbers 15:5; 28:5). Which to me signifies they are the designated sacrifice, which the Church represents.

Numbers 28:14

• "And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock, and the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of an hin unto a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year."

The third part and the fourth part were designated sacrificial offerings. When the Bible speaks of Satan being given rule over the fourth part, it means the unfaithful Church is given up and overrun by Satan and this army. Selah! The fourth part who are killed by the ride of these horsemen from hell is those who are deceived by the strong delusion of His false prophets.

Revelation 6:8

• "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."

Again, the horsemen signify a strong army. Power was given unto Him of God over this fourth part allowing him to kill them by these means of sword, hunger death and beast. In spiritual sense, because the elect cannot be killed with death since they are not appointed to be judged. Selah. The judgment are clearly upon the false Christians, the professed Christians. And it corresponds to Revelation 17, the army of Satan who comes against the harlot.

Revelation 17:16-17

• "And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
• For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled."

This is the power that God has agreed to give to the pale horse over the fourth part (the unfaithful harlot) was given to these of God. And they kill her with a sword (False Gospel), hunger (Lack of God's Word), death (no life (salvation) found therein anymore) and with the beasts of the earth (body of false prophets/God's judgment, eg. Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyers, etc.) where they eat her flesh, and ultimately burn her with fire. Why? Because they hated the church for once she represented of God and wanted to replace the Truth with their own false gospel. Selah!

However, the ELECT CHURCH, those who are already saved, will NOT be killed by death or beasts. Therefore, this is clearly the unbelievers in the Church who are deceived by this strong delusion come in the form of an army from hell. God sent these beasts to tear and destroy the fourth part, the unfaithful whose sacrifice is abomination to the Lord. The abomination of desolation.

Now you see, this has nothing to do with political nations, a physical temple in Israel, national Israel, of physical weapons to fight with.

Hi Lee,

Thank you for your good scriptures. One however needs further looking into. In Rev. 17: 12 there are 10 kings however even though they have not received a kingdom at first they will when the Global leader takes control.

`And the ten horns which you saw are 10 kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast.` (Rev. 17: 12)

Then regarding your comment here -
A HORN can ALSO BE A RELIGIOUS KING THAT DECEIVES THE ELECT.

That is not correct. What we see in God`s word is a person who has religious & economic power. Those two powers are symbolised by `two horns.` (Rev. 13: 11) That person is not a king but alongside the Global leader. (Rev. 13: 14)

Hope that gives more clarification.

Marilyn.

As much as the "Russian bear " seems to fit the prophecy of Daniel 7 (with Eze 38,39 as a backdrop), interpreting the "lion", "bear", "leopard" and "little horn", as kingdoms , it is not presented that way. These 4 beasts are KINGS and not KINGDOMS.

*[[Dan 7:17]] KJV* These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.

The text of Daniel 7 uses separate words (within the vision) translated as kings and kingdoms. I guess it is because so few can grasp the idea of resurrected individuals roaming the earth in the last days, is why it is inappropriately interpreted.

The add descriptors "eagles wings", "three ribs", "4 wings of a fowl", and finally "iron teeth", and "brass nails" are used to describe the dominions of each of these 4 kings. This method of interpretation is confirmed in Rev. 13 where that beast from the sea is "like unto a leopard, with the mouth of a lion and the feet of a bear". This is also the means of interpretation for the lion found in 2 Esdras 12 & 13. There it makes the direct connection with Daniel 7 and identifies the lion as the eventual head of the eagles kingdom. The interpretation there may not be wholly trustworthy or understandable, but it is the mindset of a pre- Christ era that is given. It comes from a mindset of foresight, rather than hindsight. Using the words of Daniel 7 we see that these kings arose from the ground (arah) and lose their dominion for a time and a season (most likely for about 15 months). Meaning that they get it back. Esdras 2 says that it is the beast that dies suddenly who is the first of the 3 kings to regain dominion. This can easily be matched up with the endtimes vision of Daniel 8. It is clear from the context of Daniel 8 that it is a vision that concerns the time of the end, or the last days. The theme of 2 Esdras is the last days establishment of the kingdom of God. We can see that to be the case for Daniel 7 and 8. Ezekiel chapters 26-32 speak of NEBUCHADREZZAR and his role in last days events. It is found that he is there called a king of kings bringing judgment upon Tyre and Egypt, being assisted by kings from the north. Like I said earlier, it seems to be an unpalatable thought to give roles to resurrected kings in the last days, but the prophesied judgments found in Ezekiel do not match historically with them to actual history. Nebuchadnezzar fits the role of the "lion" king found in Daniel 7 and 2 Esdras. I think it IMHO that Alexander matches up with the "leopard" king and ultimately Cyrus to be the "bear" king.
Ultimately, the eagles wings would represent the kingdom that NEBUCHADREZZAR returns to power with (I would cast my vote here for the USA here) and from the details of Daniel 8, (directionally) would be a European country. No guess on who the. 3 ribs might be. The book of 2 Esdras tends to indicate that the 3 "sleeping" heads do not rise to power all at once but successively in the following order: the leopard first, then the bear and finally the lion. I feel like their role is part and parcel to the "saints consuming the dominion" of the 4th beast as found in Daniel 7. Esdras says that the third head, the lion, will defeat the bear with the sword. The 3 ribs will probably equate to the kings of the north alongside of NEBUCHADREZZAR.

*[[Eze 26:7]] KJV* For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.

Is that the sum of your "closer look"?
A king is not a king without a kingdom or dominion. The main thrust about Daniel 7 is the setting up of the everlasting kingdom (of the Son).
*[[Dan 7:14]] KJV* And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
*[[Dan 7:27]] KJV* And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

There are two aspects (actually 3) that are involved to being a king.
1. KINGDOM...The physical realm over which a king reigns.
2. DOMINION...The authority to reign over the people living in the kingdom.
3. LIVING (not dead) ...He must physically be alive to reign.
All 3 issues are addressed in Daniel 7.
The first three kings(lion, bear , and leopard) lose their dominion (and thus their kingdom too), but not their lives.
*[[Dan 7:12]] KJV* As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
Here we see an end to their dominion, but not their lives. Not so for the 4th king:
*[[Dan 7:11]] KJV* I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.

The thing that derails most "theories" about the end times their understanding of the Daniel 7 little horn, a.k.a. the 4th beast. Here we see in v.11, the death of the little horn. Do you see how v.12 is a connective [BUT] corollary to v.11? He died (given to the burning flame) but they had their lives prolonged. There are 2 reasons why this is correct.
1. The little horn leads the attack on Israel at the midweek point of the final 7 years. Another more palatable way of saying this is that the end [the 2nd advent] is still 42 months away. This is laid out in Rev. 13, where the beast from the sea, Daniels 4th king, is given authority to continue for 42 months. This is confirmed by Dan 7 where it says that the saints shall be given into his (the 4th beast 's) hand for more than 3 years[time, times, & the dividing of time]. AND it is also confirmed in Rev. 17 where it says that the 10 horns shall give their power unto the beast for only a short time [one hour implies a very short time].
2. Daniel 7 tells us that the 4th king dies [his body given to the burning flame] whereas, Rev. 17 (et al) says that the beast is cast ALIVE into the lake of fire and that he is said to also ascend out of the bottomless pit and he goes into perdition. Perdition and the abyss are one and the same place...one of The realms of the dead [death and hell also]. See Eze 32 for a listing of people(s) who will make their abode in the (bottomless) pit. The reason that the beast and false prophet are cast alive into the lake of fire is because immortals (in the flesh) can not die. Where we know that not to be the case for the little horn when it says that his body was given to the burning flame.
3. (Extra point) Daniel 7 shows that both the king (the man) and his kingdom undergoes a change.
*[[Dan 7:23]] KJV* Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be DIVERSE from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
*[[Dan 7:24]] KJV* And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be DIVERSE from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

The word diverse means to change.
A. The 4th kingdom shall be diverse..
B. HE shall be diverse...
His death produces a change in both him and his kingdom. It is easily shown with the scriptures that his behavior changes. Rev. 13 shows that his kingdom expands to include that of the dominions of the lion, bear, and leopard:
*[[Rev 13:2]] KJV* And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
It all adds up to the 4 beasts are 4 kings, just as it clearly says in Dan 7:17.

Oh! Are you talking about the "Soviet" style of Christianity that was started in 988 at the Baptism of Kieven Rus? Because if that's the one, they got it from Constantinople and Greece.

The Byzantine Tradition flows from Liturgies by St. Basil and St. John Chrysostom who were leaders of the Eastern Church in the 300s to 400s A.D. There were holy men of God that Loved Jesus and cooperated with Him most of their lives. So what you are thinking is "Soviet" is actually Greek, who like the Soviets even less than I, and I hate that foul, false religion of Communism. I also hate that so many bishops, priests, deacons, monks, nuns, and lay faithful were oppressed and killed by those same Soviets who you mistakenly equate with Worship in the Orthodox Church, as well as Byzantine Catholic Churches.

Click to expand...

St. George and the dragon is not a Russian legend. Here is a synopsis of the legend, from "The Golden Legend":

...the narrative episode of Saint George and the Dragon took place somewhere he called "Silene", in Libya.[1][2]

Silene in Libya was plagued by a venom-spewing dragon dwelling in a nearby pond, poisoning the countryside. To prevent it from affecting the city itself, the people offered it two sheep daily, then a man and a sheep, and finally their children and youths, chosen by lottery. One time the lot fell on the king's daughter. The king offered all his gold and silver to have his daughter spared; the people refused. The daughter was sent out to the lake, dressed as a bride, to be fed to the dragon.

Saint George by chance arrived at the spot. The princess tried to send him away, but he vowed to remain. The dragon emerged from the pond while they were conversing. Saint George made the Sign of the Cross and charged it on horseback, seriously wounding it with his lance. He then called to the princess to throw him her girdle, and he put it around the dragon's neck. When she did so, the dragon followed the girl like a "meek beast" on a leash.

The princess and Saint George led the dragon back to the city of Silene, where it terrified the populace. Saint George offered to kill the dragon if they consented to become Christians and be baptized. Fifteen thousand men including the king of Silene converted to Christianity.[c] George then killed the dragon, beheading it with his sword, and the body was carted out of the city on four ox-carts. The king built a church to the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint George on the site where the dragon died and a spring flowed from its altar with water that cured all disease.

Now what part of this is Russian, much less Soviet?

Pontifex Maximus.(greatest bridge builder between the "Gods" and humans.

Click to expand...

WRONG! There is NO connection between a pagan Roman title to the Pope, nor is there an unbroken line. Rome fell, remember?

The Pontifex Maximus or pontifex maximus (Latin, "greatest priest") was the chief high priest of the College of Pontiffs (Collegium Pontificum) in ancient Rome. This was the most important position in the ancient Roman religion, open only to patricians until 254 BC, when a plebeian first occupied this post. A distinctly religious office under the early Roman Republic, it gradually became politicized until, beginning with Augustus, it was subsumed into the Imperial office. Its last use with reference to the emperors is in inscriptions of Gratian (reigned 375–383) who, however, then decided to omit the words "pontifex maximus" from his title. Although in fact the most powerful office of Roman priesthood, the pontifex maximus was officially ranked fifth in the ranking of the highest Roman priests (ordo sacerdotum), behind the rex sacrorum and the flamines maiores (Flamen Dialis, Flamen Martialis, Flamen Quirinalis).

The Pope is referred to as Supreme Pontiff, which is not the same as pontifex maximus--(Wikepedia)

As my previous posts prove, I am very familiar with Russian history. Pity Putin is not another Vladimir the Great, Grand Prince of Kiev, who was baptized in Crimea by Orthodox Byzantium priests from the "Second Rome." Christian Vladimir returned to his capital, Kiev, and baptized the Rus to become Holy Rus. Russia was Byzantium's heir. After Byzantium fell to the Muslim Turks, Moscow became the "Third Rome."

I think you are educated enough to know exactly what I was referring to as Russia's "Soviet" church. It was the Soviet controlled church created by Stalin. Stalin was a Bolshevik antichrist who had murdered millions of Christians and closed and destroyed churches like the Church of Christ the Savior. Stalin also tried to destroy iconic St Basil's. But then came WW2, the Russian Orthodox Church in exile supported Hitler's "Courageous German Sword" who was liberating Bolshevik controlled lands and reopening churches. Stalin saw how Hitler was winning the hearts of the people, so Stalin relaxed his antichrist restrictions and created his own Communist government approved Soviet church. Real Russian Christians went underground and created a secret underground church. There was talk that Putin might have been part of the underground church... but his words and actions prove otherwise. How can one tell the difference between a Soviet church and a real Russian Orthodox Church?? A fake Soviet church rubber-stamps whatever evil the antichrist Bolsheviks dictate. The real Russian Orthodox Church glorifies Christ, NOT antichrist Bolsheviks and their satanic political and cultural marxist social agendas.
