Hello,
Please clarify how Jesus's 1st advent fulfilment (Lu.1:33, 2:1,19, John 12:34; Rev. 5:5-13; is seen by yourself as fulfilling the Beasts prophecies
of Revelation 13:1,2,5,7 etc.
Hi Sheilaw,
I will try to clarify!
Remember, Nebuchadnezzar's dream of the great image!
Daniel 2:32 this images's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
34 Thou sawest till that "a stone" was cut out "without hands," which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
35 THEN was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces TOGETHER, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and "the stone" that smote the image Became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
40 And the Fourth Kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and Bruise.
44 And in "the days" of these Kings shall SHALL the God of heaven "set up a kingdom," which shall NEVER be destroyed: and the kingdom shall NOT be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume ALL these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that "the stone" was cut out of the mountain "without hands," and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass HEREAFTER: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
...the days of these kings (Dan. 2:44) are the days of the First Advent (Matt. 2:1,2; Lu. 1:32,33), the time when the Kingdom of heaven was "set up" (Isa. 9:6,7; Matt. 3:1,2, Rev. 5:5-13).
Jesus is "the stone" cut out without hands, that became a great mountain, which smote the image upon the foot, destroying the Fourth Kingdom and the little horn (Dan. 7:3,7-14, 16-27), Beast of (Rev. 13:1-7).
Compare (Dan. 7:11, Rev. 19:20)!
