There are only 4 kingdoms until the saints receive the kingdom of God. There is no mention of a "5th" kingdom of from the earth/sea any where in Daniel 7.
Daniel 7:17-18, 23 The four great beasts are
four kings that will rise from the earth. But the holy people of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever—yes, for ever and ever.’
He gave me this explanation: ‘
The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth
It's irrelevant if its called #5, Daniel is a secretive book on purpose. God wanted the Pharisees and Jews of 2000 years ago to think the 4th Beast ended it all !! And like I have stated, if Israel had repented maybe it would have. But God knew they would not repent. The key is verse 11 and verse 23 or 24, you have to take a step back, take it in and think.....then you can see it.
Verses 17 & 18 indeed say the four beasts are 4 Kings which arise and then the Saints are given the kingdom.........AND the Saints will be given the Kingdom, but you missed the 5th Beast.
Dan. 7:19 Then I would know the
truth of the fourth beast, which
was diverse from all the others, exceeding d
readful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
20 And of the
ten horns that were in his head, and of the
other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of
that horn that had eyes, and a
mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. 21 I beheld, and the
same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; 22 Until the
Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the
saints possessed the kingdom.
So the FOURTH BEAST was different from the others but that is not news because verse 3 tells us that ALL OF THE BEASTS that came up out of the sea were different from each other !!
VERSE 3....
And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
So we agree, all the beasts were different from each other, but the NEXT TWO VERSES says something entirely different, but you have to step back and take a deeper look at it !!
Dan. 7:23 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.
24
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.
Notice that ? The Fourth Beast in verse 23 is DIFFERENT from ALL THE OTHER BEASTS but the
Little Horn (ANOTHER SHALL ARISE) when he arises shall be DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST [BEAST OF ROME]. There are Two Beasts that arise from Rome, the First Beast is Rome, then a MAN is born in the European Union, and
he is DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST in that he is a Beast/Man, that never passes his Kingdom on to another like all the other Beasts. He is thus different from the FIRST/Rome because they had passed their Kingdoms down to other Kings, THIS LAST BEAST will start the Best Kingdom and Die as its King, see Dan. 7:11 or Rev. 19:20, he is cast STRAIGHT INTO HELL. A Beast is one that Conquers, Enslaves or Rules Israel/Mediterranean Sea Region.
It's clear the Fourth Beast is diverse from ALL THE BEASTS in verse 23 and then in verse 24 the Little Horn is different from the FIRST BEAST !! It's obvious this is a purposed riddle by God. The little Horn is clearly a BEAST and is called such in Daniel 7:11.
Incorrect, there is no "5th" beast in Daniel 7.
No 5th beast comes after the 4th beast in the vision.
After that, in my vision at night I looked,
and there before me was a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns.
Even the interpretation of the vision states 4 and NOT 5.
Daniel 7:16-17 “So he told me and gave me the INTERPRETATION of these things: ‘
The FOUR great beasts are
FOUR KINGS that will rise from the earth. But the holy people of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever—yes, for ever and ever.’
No use repeating the ABOVE...........I will just show him.
The Fourth Beast WAS Rome...........the Last Beast is A MAN 2000 years later !!
Dan. 7:11 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 LAST BEAST is a Man....................not Rome, who was the Fourth Beast or the 6th Head. Rev. 17 proves it also.........5 Have fallen ONE IS...........and one is NOT YET COME !!
THe Little Horn Anti-Christ is the only one that has not yet come.
You can....but if Israel had repented 2000 years ago, the 70th week must needs have completed the penance, LOL. Catch my drift ? We all have free will, God just knows our choices. Why do you think the 70 AD Event looks just like the coming 1260 Event and the Armageddon Events ?
If you don't do theories, then please specifically state where the Bible literally states the E.U. otherwise, yes, every time you claim the E.U. you are posting a theory. There a literally thousands of different "end times" interpretations. Why is yours somehow the right one, when you provide no evidence?
We know it's Euro Centric, and Satan has about 60 years invested in the E.U.m could they fold and it be another European State of 10 which includes Rome/Italy and Greece ? SURE, but not likely. Now as per where it states he will be from Europe in general, it states the Little Horn will arise out of the FOURTH BEAST in Daniel 7:8. He also arises out of Greece as per Dan ch. 8. and is an Assyrian as per Isaiah chapter 10.
He arises out of the FOURTH BEAST..............And Greece...........place the two on a map....they are in Europe and confirm one another as being TRUTH !!
This is a theory. It cannot be proven. The bible does not mention specifically that he is a turk, atheist, or subject of the E.U. If this is not your own personal interpretation, then provide scripture that specifically states he is a turk, atheist, and from the E.U.
It's FACT via scriptures.................Dan. 7 and Dan. 8 have to be CROSS REFERENCED !!
The reason you don't see it is you had an IDEA already planted, men are alpha dogs, you can't let go and that is where God scolded me a few years back. The Holy Spirit called me to Prophecy, and I studied hard, I learned much over 25 years, buy all I had was things we have known, and why was that ? Some of the things we have KNOW are TRADITIONS OF MEN thus this acts as a BLOCKER.....................We can't get past these Men's Traditions, so I said God, I am coming unto you with a blank mind on all Prophecy, SHOW ME the realities that I have been missing.
BOOM. I got it all within the last 3 to 4 years, it just rolls in.
Let me show you how this works.
I was trying to explain on another site how the Rev. 12 Beast, the Rev. 13 Beast and Rev. 17 Beast are all different Entities...........The Red Dragon is Satan and the CROWNS on the Head signifies this. Rev. 13 is the MAN/Anti-Christ, this is signified by the CROWNS on the 10 Heads he's over.
Then the Rev. 17 Beast is shown to be Apollyon, the Beast from the Abyss, who was IS NOT, yet is. He has NO CROWNS signifying as a Demon that he is UNDER SATAN.
A gut told me, not the Rev. 17 Beast is from the Sea, I said no he isn't, John was taken to the Wilderness where he saw the Harlot Woman eifing the Seven Headed Beast. The MAN that arises as the Last Head with 10 Horns arises out of the Mediterranean Sea because he rules that region like all the other 6 Beast Heads.
That gave me an idea, let's look at Rev. 12 and see where he's from and BOOM !! He was seen as a wonder IN HEAVEN !! Location, location, location !! The Beasts are not only signified as per who they are as per their their CROWNS, but we can see who they are by looking at WHERE THEY ARE shown in the vision. Sea.............Heaven................Wilderness.
