Often times, in the Old Testament, events happened which were merely shadows of things to come.
For example, when Moses raised the serpent on the pole that brought healing to his people, this was a foreshadowing of Jesus on the cross. And the passing of the angel of death through Egypt that did not destroy those who were protected by the blood of the lamb was a foreshadowing of we who will not be destroyed because we are protected by the blood of the lamb.
Events sometimes come in pairs.
My concern is this. I understand that the four beasts of Daniel may have already occurred in the past and may have been fulfilled. But, is it possible that the events of the past that many of us believe to have been fulfilled are just foreshadowings of a broader, more perfect fulfilling in the future?
To me, the four beasts of Daniel have to exist at the same time in order to fulfill Daniel 7:12 where it says "The other beasts had been stripped of their authority, but were allowed to live for a period of time"
As such, as I have stated in other posts and threads, it appears to me that the "quartet" (U.S., Russia, U.N., and E.U.), as individual empires/nations/kingdoms, look strikenly similar to the four beasts of Daniel. And that the first beast of Revelation looks strikenly similar to these four 'uniting' for a common purpose. IE, Daniels 4 beasts added together would equate a beast with 7 heads, 10 horns, and have the characteristics of a leopard, lion, and bear. Furthermore, if you note that the beasts of Daniel and the first beast of Revelation came up from the SEA, then the appearance is that they are similar.
Today, the "quartet" has ONE primary purpose, and that is to bring (impose) peace between the Jews and Palestinians. This, I see as significant and may have serious consequences in the future.
What are your feelings about the function of the "quartet" and its significance to "end times"????????
