..if you like history, and, or bible prophecy this is a good video! (15 min) This isn't Book of Revelation, i know.. but Daniel [Rev 13:1 & Dan 7:20]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZOoEo-iWHM - The Truth About a Prophetic End Time Mystery (Rabbi Jonathan Cahn/"Messianic" Rabbi)
It's pretty good for understanding Nebuchadnezzar's dream statue (Daniel 2) which is an important piece of the bible prophecy jigsaw.
...I didn't realize all that about the legs.. veRy interesting!
I've never heard anyone say this before.. its always "a revived roman empire" which, as this interview points out is not quite accurate.. (and it leaves out the bronze) imo, this video is very worth watching.
a good cross reference to the iron is Daniel 7:7 and 19(20) (note the bronze/brass! also in Nebuchadnezzar's dream statue)
[a note about their end note, usa - rev 13:13 (can see an office & a year, won't be what you think) rev 12:14 (a 2nd migration) :wink3: ]
:Peace2: :smile:
p.s. -why is bible prophecy important to U.R.? i think because if you know what's going on in the world, and the trends shaping up, revealed via God's Word, as things continue to shape up as outlined.. well, it can't hurt! if there comes a time ppl want answers..
Hi sista Marie !! , , , here are some helpful scriptures that connect in my opinion Marie
I have considered the gold of King Neb is symbolic along with the arma and chest of silver and the bronze belly and the iron legs
are the Image of man being the corrupt image that James 5 speaks of Howl ye rich your 5 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
Daneiel 7
Daniel's Vision of the Four Beasts
...6"After this I kept looking, and behold, another one, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird; the beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it. 7"After this I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrifying and extremely strong; and it had large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8"While I was contemplating the horns, behold, another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were pulled out by the roots before it; and behold, this horn possessed eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth uttering great boasts.

Revelation 12:3
Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads.
Revelation 13:1
The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.
Revelation 17:8
The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet will come up out of the Abyss and go to its destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because it once was, now is not, and yet will come.
Ezekiel 40:2
In visions of God he took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, on whose south side were some buildings that looked like a city.
Daniel 2:19
During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven
Daniel 7:2
Daniel said: "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me were the four winds of heaven churning up the great sea.
Daniel 7:19
"Then I wanted to know the meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others and most terrifying, with its iron teeth and bronze claws--the beast that crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left.
Daniel 7:20
I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and about the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell--the horn that looked more imposing than the others and that had eyes and a mouth that spoke boastfully.
Daniel 7:24
The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings.

You said in your heart, "I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.

Mat_11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

I understand two things that must be true ..
Jesus come to destroy
WORKS OF ....... The beast / carnal minds and the Whore of the earth [ being the queen of heaven] thoughts of the minds on things BELOW this scattering to the 4 winds in the earth Elam http://www.abarim-publications.com/Meaning/Elam.html#.VtHAX_krK00
(http://www.abarim-publications.com/Meaning/Elam.html#.VtHAX_krK00) http://biblehub.com/jeremiah/49-36.htm (http://biblehub.com/jeremiah/49-36.htm), that are the enemies of the HOLY SPIRIT the things ABOVE ..
When I look to Jesus and see the transfiguration , the symbolism of this being [ law/ Moses and prophets/ Elijah ] were fulfilling in JESUS CHRIST whom is
everything and the HEAD ,,, authority , Truth [HOLY MOUNTAIN ] Chief head of the corner ..
in the Earth being symbolic picture of the SETTING OF THE SON /STONE /Establishing the Kingdom spiritually by the FATHER ..
We have seen this happen as the kings of the earth are JUDGED , and Jesus Christ going to the Cross was the sign .... that the Shepherd would be struck and the sheep scattered .....
This was the establishing the HOLY KINGDOM NOT MADE WITH anything with human hands in it ... but By Gods Holy Spirit only
no flesh and blood can inherit this , By Spirit and truth only would they come forth at the Father choosing out of the earth [flesh and blood ]
Daniel 2 Daniel Interprets the Dream
...33its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. 34"You continued looking until a stone was cut out without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them. 35"Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found.
But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth....
36 "This was the dream. Now we will tell the king its interpretation. 37 You, O king, (BZ)the king of kings, to whom (CA)the God of heaven (CB)has given the kingdom, the power, and the might, and the glory, 38 and into whose hand he has given, wherever they dwell, the children of man, the beasts of the field, and the birds of the heavens, making you rule over them all—you are the head of gold.
39 Another kingdom inferior to you shall arise after you, and yet a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth.
40 And there shall be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron breaks to pieces and shatters all things.
And like iron that crushes, it shall break and crush all these.
41 And as you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom, but some of the firmness of iron shall be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the soft clay.
42 And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle.
43 As you saw the iron mixed with soft clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage, but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay.
44 And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed,
nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever,
45 just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold.
A great God has made known to the king what shall be after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure."
THE CROSS JESUS DECLARES THIS SIGN for believers .. the prince of this world[ DEATH and its rider BELOW ] has NOTHING NO POWER TO HOLD IN ME .... our freedom would come by what Jesus Christ has done at the cross and we can enter the Kingdom though Him only , By the Spirit of truth and taking up our cross and follow Him to LIFE ABOVE .. The world will hate you , it hated me first ..

...29His disciples said, "Lo, now You are speaking plainly and are not using a figure of speech.
30"Now we know that You know all things, and have no need for anyone to question You;
by this we believe that You came from God." 31Jesus answered them,
"Do you now believe?... :icon_flower:
