Hillbilly,

I wrote something about this the other day, but must not have posted it right, not checking.

But have a question about this fourth kingdom you are talking about.

Is it supposed to happen before the Millenium or 1000 year reign, or after this, when satan is once again loosed to decieve the nations written about after the 1000 according to Revealtions chapter 20? But before The battle of Gog and Magog?

Am asking because I see it as possibly happening after the 100 years when he is loosed to go out and deceive all the nations?

Sandy,

I believe the 4th kingdom of Daniel 2 and 7 are just prior to the Millennial Kingdom of 1,000 years.

If you look at Daniel 2 you see the 4 kingdoms start with Nebuchadnezzar. It goes then to Media/Persia then to Greece and then the unnamed kingdom which most assume to be Rome. Looking at the time period for the 4th kingdom you see the stone cut out without hands hitting the feet of the image which is the 4th kingdom. This brings down all 4 kingdoms showing even Babylon (Iraq), Iran (Media/Persia) and Greece still exist up until the end along with the 4th kingdom.

The description of the 4th kingdom in Daniel 7 matches much of the description of the beast in Revelation 13 with the 7 heads and ten horns. To me the seven heads are additional detail not given in Daniel. This would be expected as Daniel was to be a closed book until the time of the end.

If I missed a post to me from you I apologize. Sometimes I miss them if they have scrolled down the page a few posts. I have to keep my monitor on 800 X 600 because of my poor eyesight. This causes fewer posts to be displayed and I sometimes just don't scroll down far enough to find a new post. If you ever post a question or comment and I don't answer it will be becuase I have missed it. Drop a note in a new thread where I can't miss it. I visit almost every day.

God bless and have a great Memorial Day weekend.

Hi Hillbilly,

You didn't miss the point, because I failed to put it in there adequately. And meant to come back and add to it, but then got sidetracked on other things, oldzheimers kicking in then. :-)

I agree with you partly, that part of that may represent what is to happen before the 1000 years, that is true. But possibly not all of it. And my reason for saying this is what it does finally say will take place written mainly in verses 26-27. As that will not happen it seems, until the very of time after the battle of Gog and Magog takes place will it?

Meaning if that be true, then there possibly has to be some sort of a breaking point taking place within what Daniel did see there, between what takes place before the millenium, and what takes place when the devil is loosed for a time. of indeed part of it was before the millenium that is.

Hope I have explained better why I am asking what I am now. My just not being sure where that breaking point might be. that is if indeed there is one of course.

Blessings, Sandy

belief in the possibility of Gog and Magog being after the Kingdom. The reason being Gog and Magog are listed in Rev. 20:8 as being those brought to the last battle.

One of the main reasons I have not seen it that way is the order of things in Ezekiel 37 through 39. In 37 you have the regathering of Israel. In 38 and 39 you have the battles including what I believe is Armageddon. In Ezekiel 39 beginning with verse 9 you have the burning of the weapons and the continual burial of the dead.

However it may pan out we can be sure that no matter how black and dark the storm gets God will still be in contol.

In Revelation 20:9 the fire from God devours them and there is nothing to bury. Immediately after the fire from God we are shown the judgment of God and then the New Heaven and New earth starting in Rev. 21

Yes. No matter which is right doesn't matter as long as we are right with the Lord.

In the beginning, I was obsessed with reading and studying everything I could about this subject. Until the Lord said STOP trying to figure all of this out. Which I did do. Thank goodness I did. As it does not matter who is right about what concerning this issue, as you say. What is important is our following after Christ daily, just trusting i HIM.

Blessings,
Sandy
