This is incorrect. Have you ever researched the Bible scripture on this topic?
Um yes. What are your presuppositions and hermeneutical tools you use?
Not sure what you’re trying to say.
If you read revelation it’s very clear. Cross reference it with Daniel chapter 7 and it all should pop for you.
Yes, I’m very aware of Daniel’s prophecy and revelation. Are you reading it literally or symbolically? It’s very important how you’re interpreting it
These texts in Daniel and Revelation are all presented symbolically (as you already know). We can identify what all these symbols mean.
When we finishing identifying these symbols properly, you will come to these prophetic factual truths. No need to trust, simply verify history and cross reference.
Here is some brief context. There were 4 great empires that ruled the world that historians can identify. Babylon, medo-persia, Greece, and the last Rome. Alexander the Great did something pretty significant during his rule by making a decree regarding Sunday worship. I’ll stop there.
After studying all this, and identifying the symbols (the beasts/horns etc…) in Daniel and Revelation everything will make perfect sense.
Brother, I know all of this. So the beast is? What’s your conclusion? I answered your question in my first response and you said it was wrong.
