Prophecy Update: Daniel and Revelation 2/3/2022
The book of Revelation is full of quotes and allusions from the Old Testament. Over 500 references from the Old Testament fill the pages of Revelation. That is an astounding number when we take into account that there are only 404 verses in the book of Revelation.
The book of Daniel stands out as the most comprehensive and chronological treatment of end times prophecy, far surpassing any other book of the OT. It has strong ties to the book of Revelation.
The New World Order
Revelation 13 and 17 are based on Daniel 2 and 7. We will look at some of the parallels between the two books in this update, applying what we see in the scriptures with our current struggles in America. The USA at some point has to merge into the One World Government described for us in Daniel and Revelation.
“And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names.”
Revelation 13:1
“And four great beasts were coming up from the sea, different from one another.”
Daniel 7:3
“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.”
Daniel 7:7
Notice that in the two passages both speak about the ten horns and the sea. The fourth beast is the Roman Empire. God reveals to us that the Roman Empire will be the fourth and final great kingdom on the earth. In Daniel 2 God reveals that this fourth kingdom will come in stages. The first stage we saw in the Roman Empire that existed at the time of Jesus first coming. Then the prophecy of Daniel 2 teaches us that the kingdom will have two legs.
“The fourth kingdom in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream represented by the legs and feet of the image is obviously the most important. Daniel gives more attention to this fourth kingdom than to the preceding kingdoms put together.” bible.org
History teaches us that the Roman Empire split in two in the year 395A.D. Many books written about this split reveals the split extended its influence over a vast area. The Germanic tribes sacked Rome in 476 A.D. It is very important that you know that the influence of Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome continues to this day. The four great empires of Daniel 2 continue to dominate the world through Satanic deceptions.
Here is where history takes a strange turn that impacts us today. Constantine the Caesar of Rome made Rome a Christian Empire that continued with the Roman Catholic Church in Rome and the Orthodox Church in Constantinople. The Byzantine Empire (Eastern Empire with Constantinople as its capital) was Christian. This kingdom lasted until 1453 when the Muslims sacked Constantinople and started the Ottoman Empire. The Western Catholic dominion of the Roman Empire continued through the Holy Roman Empire. The Holy Roman Empire started with Charlemagne in 800 A.D. This part of the Roman Empire exists today. The eastern part of the empire continued through the Greek and Russian Orthodox churches.
First strange turn of events was the Protestant Reformation. With the fall of Constantinople, the rise of Islam was going to impact the world. Satan had already influenced the Catholic and Orthodox churches with false teachings. God would preserve the truth with the rise of the protest, a protest centered on the truth of the gospel.
To summarize this, it is important to note that the Christian Roman Catholic Empire of the West and the Christian Orthodox Empire of the east continue to this day! This next quote illustrates that the four kingdoms of Daniel 2 still have influence, but the final kingdom is dominating our own history.
“The dominion of the first three empires was over, but their lives were prolonged. Their lives perpetuated in that the previous empires left their influence on the Fourth Empire. From the Daniel 7 passage, it is clear that the leopard-like body represents the Hellenistic influence; the bear-like feet represent the Medo-Persian influence; and the lion-like mouth represents the Babylonian influence. Thus, while their dominion ended, their lives were prolonged.” pre-trib.org
Notice how Revelation brings up the influence of all four kingdoms in the final Roman antichrist government!
“And the beast which I saw was like a leopard (Greece), and his feet were like those of a bear (Persia), and his mouth like the mouth of a lion (Babylon). And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.”
Revelation 13:2
The second strange twist in history is the rise of the third Rome in the city of Moscow! In 980 A.D. King Vladimir of Russia (based in Kiev) chose the Greek Orthodox Church as the route Russia would take. The story goes that Vlad invited a Catholic Priest to make the case to become a Catholic country and the priest said that their priests do not marry. Vlad said that would never work in Russia. He invited a Muslim to make the case for Islam and the Muslim said that they do not drink alcohol. Vlad said that the Russians would not survive a winter without vodka so he rejected Islam. He invited a Greek Orthodox priest who came with a bottle of wine and his wife so Vlad said we will join the Orthodox. Moscow was declared the third Rome in the 1500’s; God was at work in the world!
The Eastern part of the Roman Empire has its power preserved in its capital Moscow. Does that shock you? The Russian Empire declared Moscow as the third Rome after the fall of Constantinople. “Within decades after the capture of Constantinople by Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire on 29 May 1453, some Eastern Orthodox people were nominating Moscow as the “Third Rome”, or the “New Rome”. wikipedia.org
“It was the Orthodox monk Philotheus (Filofei) who called Moscow the Third Rome for the first time. In 1523-1524 he wrote letters to the Grand Duke of Moscow urging him to fight against heresies. The Duchy of Moscow, in the monk’s view, remained the last bastion of the true faith. “All the Christian kingdoms have come to an end and have converged in the single kingdom of our sovereign,” Philotheus wrote in one of the epistles. “Two Romes fell, a third stands, and there will not be a fourth one.” vortexmag.net
Putin is all in with the vision of Moscow being the third Rome and a leader in the world. By 1914, the Russian Empire included all of the nations that are now in conflict over Ukraine and Russia. The Russian Empire included all of Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Estonia, Romania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, parts of Poland, and most of Finland. WW1 started in 1914 and everything was about to change.
World War 1 started the final process of the emerging ten toes of the final Roman Empire. The League of Nations, the first attempt of a one world government. God was actively bringing Jews back to the land of Israel. The Balfour Declaration, announced, motivated, and prescribed by evangelical Christians in Britain spurred on the reestablishment of the state of Israel. World War 2 broke out with goal of killing all of the Jews in the world. WW2 lasted seven years, was led by two types of antichrist’s (Hitler and Mussolini), was supported by false Christianity, and mirrored what would happen in the Tribulation period. That brings us to today:
Putin fashions himself as a Roman Emperor, a Czar: “Apr 7, 2015 • A bronze bust of Vladimir Putin, depicting the Russian president as a Roman emperor, was in its final stage of creation in St. Petersburg.” youtube.com/watch?v=xGDeAm4ZvB0
“Third Rome Rising: The Ideologues Calling for a New Russian Empire. Russian society is actively discussing the recent visit of President Vladimir Putin to Greece, June 27, 2016, where he took part in the celebrations of the thousandth anniversary of Russian monks’ presence on Mount Athos. Putin’s symbolic visit sparked joy among those conservatives in Russia who see this as a sign of ideological revival, under the slogan, “Moscow is the Third Rome.” nationalinterest.org
“Then there will be a fourth kingdom as strong as iron; inasmuch as iron crushes and shatters all things, so, like iron that breaks in pieces, it will crush and break all these in pieces. In that you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but it will have in it the toughness of iron, inasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with common clay.”
Daniel 2:40-41
“And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.”
Revelation 17:3
It is clear that the final Roman Kingdom is about to emerge with ten kings, the ten toes, ten horns, and the power they have to bring about a new government over the whole earth. Revelation 17:13 says that these ten kings will give their power to the antichrist. Russia and China have been working to destroy America for at least the last 30 years. Most of our intelligence community is blind to this fact. Who blinded them? Satan. Who is pushing them into war? Satan. Who will come out on top in the current conflict? Russia.
“September 14, 2021, Relations between Moscow and its Western neighbors have become increasingly conflictual, especially since the events in Ukraine that led to the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014. In particular, a renewed oppositional stance toward the EU and NATO has allowed some interesting reworking of ideas around the relationship between Moscow and the West. Russia is attempting to market itself as a civilizational alternative centered on “traditional values,” especially among those in the West who are dissatisfied with current politics. An interesting way of both marketing Russia as an anti-Western civilization but still maintaining that active thread to Europe is by designating Russia as the “Third Rome.” fairobserver.com
Russia and China have attacked and defeated America’s internal strength through asymmetrical warfare. The battle will turn to active military conflict soon. I believe that the Russian troops in Belarus will attack Lithuania, Latvia, or Estonia and not Ukraine. Those three countries are NATO and NATO has no strength to stop or defeat Russia. The last five years, the Pentagon conducted war games against Russia and China and we lose every time. Why? Russia developed a Space Force in 2001 and now have the ability to knock out our satellites. America did not start a Space Force until 2017 under Trump and he was widely laughed at. Too late! There are too many things we are too late on in the military and the Biden Administration is so anti-military he does not care.
Why does Russia have to rise? God promises to use Russia in an end times war described for us in Ezekiel 38-39. America is nowhere in Bible prophecy.
