Hi Forum,
I would like to tie verse Rev. 17:10 in with some point in history or determine that there are no points in history that do fit...whichever.
Rev 17:10
They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while.
The Basics:
One of my basic assumptions is that this has something to do with Jesus Christ. Therefore I don't see any need to look for a combination of rulers to fit this verse from before the birth of Christ. Having said that, it is obvious there have been more than seven kings in history so this verse has to pertain to a certain period of time on earth. There will be more than seven kings in the future too, methinks.
I am assuming that 'kings' may include leaders by different titles and therefore feel we should look at presidents, Prime Ministers,Emporors and such.
From the verse we know that Revelation takes place during the time of the sixth 'king.'
Any other assumptions that should be included?
*************
The first, and only thing to this point, I looked at was to see if there is anything that fits in modern day Israel. It doesn't. There have already been more than seven called presidents and I forget how many called prime ministers since back in the late 40's.
Comments please,
