Israel in the Wilderness
The Falling Away of Israel & Judah from God’s statutes and judgements see these kingdoms led captive into the Nations. The sevenfold vengeance rooted in the Law wreaks its desolation in the tribes. Moses song has been sung
This Cup of God’s Wrath passes to the gentile nations and their governments and religious systems shall all drink of this cup (Jer 25:15)
The Lion with Eagles Wings portray God’s Law and Israel’s Tribes being borne into a desert, a spiritual wilderness of gentile nations
(Isa 43:19) Behold, I will do a new thing. I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Three Parts of the 4th Beast
Six Parts: There are six parts to Nebuchadnezzar’s Image in Daniel 2: The first Four Parts are Four Kingdoms but within the 4th Kingdom are three parts.
| The Image of Man: (Dan 2) | The Beast Out of the Sea: (Dan 7) | ||
| Babylon | Head – Gold | 1 | Lion = Emblem of Judah/Israel: The Eagles Wings Pertain To God’s Law (Rev 12:14) |
| Medes/Persians | Chest / Arms – Silver | 2 | |
| Greece | Torso / Thighs – Brass | 3 | Bear = Gentile Nations Scatter Israel. Ribs = Judah; Israel; Jerusalem/God’s Law |
| Roman Empire | ¹ Legs of Iron | 4 | |
| The Messiah Crucified In This Period | Leopard (Fowls Wings+4 Heads) God’s Law/Tribes Dispersed to 4 Corners of the Earth | ||
| Roman Church | ² Feet: Clay & Iron | 5 | |
| Church Creeds | ³ Toes: Clay & Iron | 6 | 4th Beast: Three Parts: ¹Great Iron Teeth + ²Stamping Feet + ³Ten Horns |
#1: Two Legs / Great Iron Teeth
The Two Legs of Iron, of the Roman Empire pertain to the fact this kingdom shall be divided. The Iron represents Rome’s systematic and ruthless conquest of lands and peoples. This lust marks the churches who seek the same earthly riches.
The Great Iron Teeth of Daniels 4th Beast speak of Laws that give the Roman State and the Roman Church the teeth to devour. This link between State & Church will cycle down through the ages with the Church of England being established by its Legislators or the USA’s Protestant foundation, as examples.
Wormwood Falls
The Messiah Commissions the 11 Apostles to preach the Gospel to all Nations. At Pentecost the Spirit of the Messiah gives the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven to Peter and thousands hear the Truth and are baptised.
These Saints Scatter the Gospel throughout Judea and Samaria after Stephen’s stoning triggers a wave of persecution. Many of the Apostles journey through the Nations preaching the Lord’s Salvation as they go.
The Sinai Law, Israel & Judah had first been scattered into the Nations and now the Gospel of Christ is sown among the Nations by the Apostles. The descendants of “Daniels remnant” have taken the Gospel to their brethren raised in captivity.
Paul, the 12th Apostle, an elect Pharisee of the Tribe of Benjamin, is born out of season when he is struck down by God on his way to Damascus. Paul is ordained to bear God’s Name before the Nations, Kings and Israel. He preaches Jesus.
The Gospel Paul preaches is to a Spiritual seed of promise.
The Church of Rome is 1 of 7 Churches established by the Apostle Paul in Asia. By the Council of Nicaea in 325-AD this Church has forsaken the Messiah’s Gospel and has turned back to the rudiments of the Law, the traditions and creeds of men.
Like Eve all Churches, then and now shall eat from another tree.
The Messiah’s Spirit in Paul, warns the Churches in Asia not to partake of the Law of sin & death and that we can never be made perfect in the flesh. Like Israel, all Churches, then and now shall leave their first love
The Curses and Plagues contained in the Law become a bitter root in the Churches and Nations down through the ages. Moses song will be sung in each of the seven Gentile ages
God’s Seven Angels shall each in their time sound the trumpet of God’s Release. In each age a small remnant shall believe the message of the day
(Isaiah 43:20) The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen
#2: Two Feet / Stamping Feet
Two Feet: The Roman Empire disintegrates politically and morally. It is mortally wounded but at the Council of Nicaea, the putrefied State of Rome joins with the fallen Church of Rome. The wounded head is healed. (Rev 13:3)
Feet of Clay & Iron: The Clay is the Church of Rome and the Iron is the Roman State. Again this trait is not isolated to the Catholic Church. It is the trait of all Nations and Churches that follow.
Stamping Feet are symbolic of preaching the gospel but the Church of Rome opens its mouth to preach its creeds and uses these to blaspheme God’s name, His Tabernacle and the saints. (Rev 13:6)
Her Daughters like their mother shall all nurture partnerships with governments and they will all blaspheme God’s name as the foundation creeds of the Anglican, Protestant, Pentecostal, Seventh Day Adventist and Jehovah’s Witness churches, to name but a few are the same as their Catholic mother
#3: Ten Toes / Ten Horns
The 10 horns of Daniel’s fourth Beast pertain to the ten commandments. Three will be changed)
The 10 toes of iron & clay speak of two seeds that shall mix but not cleave to one another. They shall never marry
The iron toes relate to the iron rod of God’s rule. (10 Sinai laws) The miry clay is the seed of men (the flesh)
Mingled seeds: God’s law & men’s creeds
| Man’s Image / Man’s View (Daniel 2) | 4th Beast / God’s View (Daniel 7) | |
| Two Legs of Iron: The Roman Empires Military & Political Power | = | The Iron Teeth are Symbolic of Merciless Roman Rule |
| Two Feet of Clay & Iron: The Church of Rome: Religious & Roman State Backing | = | Two Stamping Feet: A False Gospel Preached by the Church of Rome & Her Daughters |
| Ten Toes of Iron & Clay: Mingled Seed: God’s Law / Men’s Creeds | = | Ten Horns: 10 Defiled Sovereign Sinai Laws + 10 Hidden Tribes |
.
From Red Dragon to Scarlet Beast
Daniel’s Beast rises out of the sea and declares the journey of God’s Law and the tribes of His inheritance have taken through the Nations. From the Land promised to Abraham’s descendants to the utmost corners of the earth.
Israel, a religious nation were led captive into the Nations and now a religious Beast emerges from the sea of Nations. This Beast is created in the image of Sinai and not the express image of the Messiah.
This Beasts foundations are the legal foundations of the Governments and Churches of the earth. The kings and the merchants of the earth shall all trade and thrive from their association in the 1st Covenant.
The Beast of Revelation 13:1 is a composite of the four Beasts Daniel saw. Its Seven Heads point to Seven Ages from the Catholic Church to the Churches today. Its Ten Horns are the Dragons Horns we saw in Israel’s time
Satans Seat of power resides in the 10 Sovereign Laws cut from Mount Sinai. His authority rests in his role as Guardian Cherubim over the Ark of God in the Tabernacle’s Holy of Holies. This power is the power of Governments and Church’s of men (Rev 13:2)
