Daniel 2:31-35 KJV 31 Thou, O king, saw, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. 32 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, 33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.34 Thou saw till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
Daniel 7:2–9 (KJV 1900): 2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. 3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. 4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. 5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. 6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. 7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. 8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
Daniel 7:17 KJV 17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
While studying the bear, which many scholars believe is China but I don't agree, and listening to an Iranian Ex-Muslim Terrorist turned Christian named Wahlid Shoebat; who I just heard last week say that the bear is still the Medes and Persia. It made me think that I am on the right track. Today this area would be Iran, Armenia, and Iraq. The kings of the East. It only makes sense because the lion is Babylon in Daniel 2:31-38, 7:4, and Revelation 13:2. The leopard is Greece in Daniel 2:39, 7:6, and Revelation 13: 2. The terrible beast is Rome in Daniel 2:40-43, 7:7 and Revelation 13:2. And the bear is Medo/Persia in Daniel 2:39, 7:5 and China in Revelation 13:2, right? NO, it has to be The Medes/ Persia. Persia would eventually take over the Babylonian empire. So the bear has to stay the same in the books of Daniel and Revelation, like Babylon, Greece and Rome. The bear will not become China, unless China takes over the Armenian area of Turkey and Iran.
Now China may be one of the ten horns in Daniel 7:20-24, that comes out of the terrible beast or its other name Rome. I don't understand Daniel Chapter 7:20, at least not yet. If enough history passes by explaining the ten horns before the rapture, then God may allow me to watch and know.
I do know that in the book of Revelation, Chapter 6:1-2, there will be a man that will come with a bow. Not a bow with arrows. Most scholars say that this man will be the Antichrist. I will agree with that. And the reason he has a bow with no arrows is because he will bring peace to the world. I will agree that he will bring the world a false peace that will not last. The bow I believe is a rainbow, which is a sign of peace and a covenant. In Ezekiel 1, Ezekiel is shown in a vision living creatures, beasts.These beasts are the same kind of beasts in the book of Revelation. They had the likeness of a man. They had four faces in their heads; one on the left, one on the right side of their heads, and one face in the front and one in the back of their heads. They had wings; two sets. This is the description of a cherub. Lucifer is a cherub, see Isaiah 14:12-17. I also believe that Satan was the snake in the garden, and he stood in front of Adam and Eve. One of Satan's faces was the face of the snake. Cherubim (more than one cherub) have legs like a man and hooves instead of feet. I believe God took away Satan's legs, and the legs of all snakes because of what Satan had done. Satan, that snake in Genesis 3:1 will enter into the man in Revelation 6:2.
Satan also has a wheel called a seraph. These seraphim (more than one seraph) have eyes on the rims of their four wheels, and the spirit of the beast or cherubim live in the wheel of the seraph. Ezekiel says the seraphim are dreadful. Where the beasts (cherubim) went so did the seraphim go. Ezekiel could hear the wings, they sounded like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, like the noise of an host. Ezekiel goes on to say that before they stood and let down their wings, there appeared a firmament above their heads, and it looked like a throne and a man upon it. Then Ezekiel says that the brightness all around it was like the appearance of a bow.
"And I saw when the lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come. 2 And I saw and, behold, a white horse; and he that sat on him had a bow and a crown was given unto him, and he went forth conquering, and to conquer".
This is why I believe that this man in Revelation 6:2 is the Antichrist posing as Jesus. He will even sound like Jesus. That's why Jesus says if you hear that he is in the desert don't go, or if he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. "For as the lightning cometh from out of the east, and shineth , and even unto the west, so shall the son of man be...". Jesus will come from out of the clouds or down from the sky, Acts 1:9-11. He will not allow Satan to come this way. Even if Satan could, Jesus says don't be deceived.
Now in Revelation 13:2 it says, "And the beast which I (John) saw, was like a leopard, and his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth was like the mouth of a lion;and the dragon (Satan) gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority". These are the same empires in Daniel 2:31-45 and 7:1-8 except now it's the beast who is like these four empires. He is actually taking the strongest parts of the emperors. The leopard is Alexander the Great, who conquered the whole known world quickly, like the speed of a leopard. The Antichrist has only seven years to stop one of God's prophecies.The feet of the bear is Persia/Medes, who came into Babylon quietly like a bear, but they did not devour much flesh yet, so this Antichrist will kill many. The mouth of the lion is King Nebuchadnezzar, who when he spoke an order it was done. When he made a law it was put in the books. He was law. And the dragon, the dreadful and terrible, gives the Antichrist his power. Three and -a-half-years later Satan, the dragon, that subtle, deceiving snake, will enter into this man, who is called the Antichrist.
So I don't believe the bear in Daniel and Revelation is China. When the kings of the East go over the Euphrates river that the sixth angel had poured out his vial and dried up to prepare it for the war Armageddon; that war will bring not just the kings of the East, but the kings of the whole world, the whole earth, what's left of it, Revelation 16:12-14.
So why would you want to be left behind the last seven years on this earth, when God has made a way of escape for you? He sent His son, Jesus to die for us sinners. He who had no sin in Him; came and died for us so that we would not have to die and go to hell.
Admit you are a sinner. Romans 3:23 says, "All have sinned, and fallen short of the glory of God. and 6:23 says, The wages of sin is death. But the good news is the gift of God, freely given; eternal life Jesus paid for your life in full with His blood. It's His gift to you, to us.
Believe in your heart that Jesus is LORD, Romans 10:9-11. Whomsoever believeth on Him (Jesus), shall not be ashamed.
Call upon His name, Jesus; Call upon the name of the LORD and thou shall be saved, Romans 10:13, If you confess with your mouth Jesus is LORD, and believe in your heart that God raised Him (Jesus) from the dead you will be saved. I Corinthians 15:1-4.
Time is short. Don't be left behind.
