  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Daniel 7:15-18 King James Version (KJV)


15 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.

16 I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.

17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.

18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.

An Angel Interprets Daniel’s Vision


15 “As for me, Daniel, my spirit was distressed, and the visions of my mind were alarming me. 16 I approached one of those standing nearby and asked him about the meaning of all this. So he spoke with me and revealed to me the interpretation of the vision: 17 ‘These large beasts, which are four in number, represent four kings who will arise from the earth. 18 The holy ones of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will take possession of the kingdom forever and ever.’

These are my thoughts, please share yours.


15 Sometimes we will be alarmed by what God does, while we will be spared because we have Jesus from God’s wrath it should still alarm us to where we share the gospel with others.


16 Daniel couldn’t interpret this vision but had to have help. Even if we are good in an area we shouldn’t have pride and if we need it then we should ask for help.


17 These kings have already come. The kingdoms would be Babel Medes/ Persia Greek Rome. It is possible that they could be kingdoms to come though but this viewpoint isn’t popular.


18 This kingdom here is the earth and Jesus will reign here forever but first their will be the kingdom of the antichrist.
