BIBLICAL RECORD!
EGYPT: Gen 39:1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.
(This is how the Israelites came to be in EGYPT)
ASSYRIA: Isa 7:17 The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.
(The ASSYRIAN empire ws one of Israels’ enemies. In one night and ONE-ANGEL slayed 185,000 Assyrian soilders for Israel.)
2Ki 19:35 And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
BABYLON: Dan 4:30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?
The KINGS DREAM: Dan 2:3 And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
THE DREAM ITSELF: Dan 2:31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
Dan 2:32 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
Dan 2:33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
Dan 2:34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, (Jesus our ROCK) which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
(Why the Feet? Because that is the END time NATIONS that will exist on EARTH, when the LORD returns.)(the EUROPEAN Nations, representative of the WORLD.)
Dan 2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold,(in REVERSE ORDER) 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.
DREAMS MEANING: Dan 2:37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
Dan 2:3 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou (Babylon) art this head of gold.
Dan 2:39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, (Medo-Persia) and another third kingdom of brass, (Greece) which shall bear rule over all the earth.
Dan 2:40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: (Pagan ROME) forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
THE IRON MONARCHY of ROME!
Dan 2:41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
The Eastern and the Western Empires of Imperial Pagan ROME)
Dan 2:42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
(Part of IRON=Pagan ROME ruling, through corrupt MEN=Part of CLAY)
Dan 2:43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
(God said that after PAGAN ROME, there would NOT ever be again a WORLD EMPIRE)
Dan 2:44 And in the days of these kings (When MEN should attempt to CREATE an EMPIRE, today we call it a New WORLD ORDER) shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, (During ROMES’ rule when HEROD was called the “King of the Jews, JESUS was BORN, and Jesus is the Kingdom of God in verity) which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it (Jesus) shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. (The Kingdom of God on EARTH)
Dan 2:45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, (a SUPERNATURAL DESTRUCTION) 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.
(Babylons’ King Nebuchadnezzar was given this dream, and GOD through the prophet Daniel revealed its meaning to the King of Babylon, and it has happened just as revealed.)
MEDO-PERSIA: Dan 5:1 Belshazzar the king (Co-REGENT) made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
Dan 5:2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.
Dan 5:18 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:
Dan 5:19 And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down.
Dan 5:20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:
Dan 5:21 And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
Dan 5:22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this
Dan 5:23 But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
Dan 5:24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
Dan 5:25 And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
Dan 5:26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
Dan 5:27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
Dan 5:28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
Dan 5:29 Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Dan 5:30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. (Babylon)
Dan 5:31 And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
(BABYLONS empire passed, into the empire of Medo-Persia, the SECOND world empire to ARISE)
Now Daniel under the Babylonian Empire has a DREAM and Visions himself.
DANIELS DREAM: Dan 7:1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
Dan 7:2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
Dan 7:3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
(FOUR different BEAST)
Dan 7:4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings (BABYLON) I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
Dan 7:5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, (Medo-Persia) and it raised up itself on one side, (Persian side of the Empire was STRONGER) and it had three ribs in the mouth (EGYPT,ASSYRIA,BABYLON) of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. (CONQUER)
Dan 7:6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, (GREECE) which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; (Alexanders generals by name were four: Cassander, Lysimachus, Ptolemy, Seleucus) the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
Dan 7:7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
The TEN HORNS are:
-
FRANKS (FRENCH)
-
VISIGOTHS (SPANISH)
-
LOMBARDS (ITALIANS)
-
SUEVI (SWISS)
-
ALEMANNI (GERMANS)
-
ANGLO-SAXONS (BRITISH)
-
BURGUNDIANS (PORTUGUESE)
-
HERULI (*) EXTINCT
-
VANDALS (*)EXTINCT
-
OSTROGOTHS (*)EXTINCT see Daniel 7:24
Dan 7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, (PAGAN ROME) before whom there were three of the first horns (HERULI, VANDALS, OSTROGOTHS) plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. (the POPE who RULED supreme as PONTIFIX MAXIMUS, in the EMPORERS place as a god)
DANIELS DREAM REVEALED:
Dan 7:15 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
Dan 7:16 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.
Dan 7:17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
Dan 7:18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. (ESCATOLOGY,CONSUMATION EVENT)
Dan 7:19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, (ROME) and his nails of brass; (GREECE) which devoured, brake in pieces, (MEDO-PERSIA) and stamped the residue with his feet; (BABYLON)
(THIS is a CONGLOMERANT BEAST that incorporates attributes of the PREVIOUS Empires.)
Dan 7:20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, (the LITTLE HORN) 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. (the POPE)
Dan 7:21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
(From 538 A.D. to 1798 A.D. known as the DARK Ages or the Great Persecution against Gods people, where millions died for their faith.)
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. (TEN pieces as we have discovered)
Dan 7:24 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. (the Pagan Roman Catholic Church with their man-god the POPE of ROME)
Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
(Time is one YEAR, times is TWO YEARS, a dividing of time is a HALF-YEAR.
So this is 3 ½ years, the same as Forty Two Months, the same as 1260 days.)
GREECE:
DANIELS VISION: Dan 8:1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
Dan 8:3 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. (Medo-PERSIA)
Dan 8:4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, (Conquering) and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great. (“he” tells you that this is a kingdom with a king over it, the terminology of the kingdom is referred to as a “beast” in a vision)
Dan 8:5 And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: (SWIFTNESS) and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
((Alexander the GREAT the GRECIAN EMPORER who conquered Medo-Persia))
