Time of the end

Ten toes and ten horns - The ten toes of Daniel 2 and the ten horns of Daniel 7 are ten kings of the time of the end. Not historic kings.

The stone - The stone cut without hands that causes the great statue image to come crashing down is the Kingdom of God - not the messiah. The event will take place at the time of the end in the days of the time of the end ten toes.

The feet of iron and clay - The feet of iron and clay is the Roman Empire manifested in the time of the end. i.e. the EU, some parts weak and some parts strong, i.e. some nations of the EU are weak and other nations of the EU are strong..

The 2300 days - The 2300 day long time of the end vision of the little horn's activities are time of the end. To begin 2300 days before Jesus's return.

The little horn - The little horn will be a time of end Jew, a well known politician and military leader, who will eventually become the Antichrist - phony King of Israel thought to be messiah - and then after revealing himself to be the man of sin - he will become the beast-king of Revelation. To rule 42 months, accompanied by the ten time of the end kings of Daniel 2 and Daniel 7.

Thank you! Yes, it would definitely be at His first coming. It would only be at His first coming where the purpose would be to break apart those of His people that He could mold, to go out into the world and preach the gospel.
Apparently, you do not perceive the three comings of Christ, and that He who is the "stone" is still causing division, while the nations are wilfully determined to have world peace, even if one third of the inhabitants are killed off. Rev. 9:13-21
1 Thes. 5
[3] For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

So, that means the 10 toes (which were not struck), but were also freed up from being encased within the feet of pagan Rome would now (Chapter 7) be found on the outside of the beast “coming out of” it. Only to be followed by this little horn fellow.
You, as most Christians, misunderstand the "latter time" of the 3rd beast and it's "four heads" of the Hellenisic kingdoms. Out of one of those heads, came the "little horn", of which was fulfilled by Antiochus Epiphanes of the Seleucid kingdom. There is not now, nor ever shall be a future "little horn" to come again!! BTW, if one does not read the KJV, they will never arrive to the truth about the little horn and the three horns that were plucked up by the roots.
Meaning, pottery clay and the 10 toes, now referred to as 10 horns, were present right after the cross. The little horn would also be present after the cross (coming out of the beast).
In European tribalism, the 10 horns have their origin, but they were not manifested then, nor shall they be, until just before Jesus returns in all His Immortal Glory from heaven.
As for the little horn, he was manifested through the prophecy of the 2300 days (of evening to morning).
Consequently, these verses are not end time events, but they will continue until the end of time.
Yes, they will continue during Christ's coming to us now by His Spirit, and especially when He returns in His Immortality. 2 Thes. 1:7-10.
1) the clay and the 10 toes / 10 horns were present both BEFORE and AFTER the cross, while the little horn came OUT OF the beast AFTER the cross.
> Before the cross: the little horn Antiochus Epiphanes, and the 10H in tribalism.
> After the cross: the 10H in Eastern and Western Europe.
> At His Glorious return: the 10 kings of Europe are appointed by the Conglomerate beast (Rev. 13) to burn the whore, aka the fallen mother (who was cast out- Gal. 4:30; Rev. 17:16.)
Does this make any sense to you? Can you see this in these verses / prophecies?

Thanks.
Yes, it does make sense to my understanding, while holding to an updated Amillenial view.

No! Not just the first coming of Christ. It has been continuing since Pentecost, upto today and onward to His Glorious return in Immortality.

The "whore" which is "carried" by the Conglomerate beast** (Rev. 13:2) is still with us.
Rev. 17
[7] And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman [a fallen "mother"- Gal. 4[25] For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with HER children.],
and of the **beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

Thanks. I am attempting to lay out the interpretations as we move from verse to verse. Believe me, Daniel does indeed interpret Daniel!

It was written for the Jews and His city to prophecize the restoration of city and the people from Babylon. The 490 years covers the time from 457 BC to 33/34 AD.

So, I believe we agreed there are 4 kingdoms with pagan Rome being the 4th. Consequently, the 4th king would be in power at the time of the Messiah.

You agreed that 2:34 represents the cross when the Stone will break apart the clay (and the toes) from within the feet of pagan Rome.

This event would start His church and those “pottery clay” (Jews), would go out into the 4th kingdom empire and preach the Good News.

Therefore, these events are not end time events. The cross would also allow the 10 toes to be then referred to as 10 horns (powers). And following right behind them is this little horn.

This little horn will start out very small and grow until it “sits atop the 4th kingdom beast.” This little horn began right after the start of the church and, if you follow through to the middle of Chapter 7, it reveals he will get to the top of the beast ONLY AFTER the 4th kingdom beast of PAGAN ROME is slain (7:11).

So, the little horn began after the cross, it would grow in power, pagan Rome would be slain (~ 467 AD), and then the little horn “sits atop the beast kingdom (which will become known as papal Rome. Thus, this little horn represents the papacy who will indeed sit atop the 4th kingdom beast until the return of the Messiah.

I am only attempting (so far) to take these 4th kingdom verses in Chapters 2 and 7 and identify the actors and events they represent.

At this time, we just touched on this 4th kingdom beast and there is much to reveal in the remaining verses in Chapter 7 through Chapter 12. There is no need to bring in any NT verses to identify what the verses in Daniel are speaking about. It does not mean there are not many NT verses that connect back to Daniel, but the NT would not be available to the Jews at the time of the cross. In other words (again), Daniel is more than capable of interpreting itself!

So, by simply focusing on the Chapter 2 4th kingdom verses and the few Chapter 7 verses that have been brought up, we can match these actors and events to the actual historical events that took place during the times of 457 BC and 500 AD.

And yes, the 4th kingdom beast and the little horn will continue until the end, but at this time of THESE VERSES in Daniel, they speak to the time of the Messiah (cross), AND the consequences that take place AFTER the cross up to (so far) the little horn taking full power over the 4th kingdom.

So, I would ask you to not consider any NT verse (at this time) and we can focus only on these verses in Daniel to learn what they are trying to tell us.

Chapters 2 and 7 are “sister” chapters in they can almost be placed one over another and present the same storyline. Of course, as a result of the cross, God reveals much more that will take place within this time of the 4th kingdom.

If you would like to comment on these interpretations for these verses (before we have a chance to go deeper into Chapter 7), pro or con or whatever…. But please try and keep to these relatively few verses from Chapters 2 and 7.

Thanks.

The Apostle John was given Revelation in the first century AD. The ten kings had not received any kingdom as of the first century AD.

Revelation 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

The tens toes (kings) of Daniel 2 and the ten horns (kings) of Daniel 7 and the ten horns (kings) of Revelation 17 are all the same ten kings.

They are ten time of the end kings (leaders).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The little horn - The little horn will be a time of end Jew, a well known politician and military leader, who will eventually become the Antichrist - phony King of Israel thought to be messiah - and then after revealing himself to be the man of sin - he will become the beast-king of Revelation. To rule 42 months, accompanied by the ten time of the end kings of Daniel 2 and Daniel 7 and Revelation 17:12.

I disagree, because you have not revealed who the three horns were in Dan. that are "plucked up by the roots". Nor have you counted out the seven heads, that are also revealed in Daniel. All of which are long before the 10H 4th Beast becomes the Roman Empire in 27 BC.
Prior to all of that, the ten horns are ONLY IN THE VISION.

As I have previously said, if one doesn't study this out with the KJV and historical helps, they will NOT come to the correct conclusion of who "the mother of harlots" really is.

In your last paragraph, you are headed in the correct direction, except for one false belief, and that is: there is no "little horn" to come, either now or in the future. It's all been made out to ba a religious fantasy, by "the wisdom of men", aka church-ianity.

No, I do not see your "verse" in my KJV. You need to quote Scripture to see if you know the context is about. Try again.
KJV Dan. 8
[1] In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
[2] And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.
[3] Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
[4] I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
[5] And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
[6] And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had there seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
[7] And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
[8] Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
[9] And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
[10] And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
[11] Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
[12] And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

The little horn is time of the end.

Daniel 8:17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.

25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

At the time of the end ,the little horn person will stand up again the Prince of princes - Jesus - and will be broken by Jesus.

The three horns (kings) of the ten horns (kings) that will be removed by the time of the end little horn, are time of the end. They will be replaced by three other time of the end kings.

The time of the end little horn person in Daniel 7:25 will wear out the saints, for a time, times, half time.

There are three places in the bible that the phrase "time, times, half time" is found.

[8] Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
[9] And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
[10] And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
[11] Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
[12] And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

Do you understand the vision of Daniel 8?

The ram symbolizes the congregation of Israel, while the two horns represent the powers of two congregations - Israel of the Old Testament and the Church of the New Testament. The Church is depicted as higher and coming after Israel, signifying that the Church will do more for the Kingdom of God than Israel, being last, as it came after the Cross.

The he-goat represents the kingdom of darkness, with one notable horn symbolizing Satan with full power. Satan is responsible for breaking the power of the Old Testaement congregation of Israel at the Cross and the power of the New Testament congregation, the church, at the Great Tribulation prior to the Second Coming, leading to desolation. Although his power was broken by Christ at the Cross, his kingdom extended throughout the world wherever the Church went. In the end times, Satan's full power he once enjoyed before the Cross, will be briefly restored (represented by the little horn) to attack the church represented by the South, East, and finally in the Pleasant Land, where he will establish his palace in the heart of the church. This will lead to apostasy in the church and cause the cessation of the daily sacrifice for salvation. The Church will fall for a short season.

Nothing to do with E.A. or the first century. God painted a larger spiritual picture than a piece of land.

Sorry, the "time of the end" is meaning the end of Israel and God's special favor towards them, during the "Age of Indignation".
Therefore, what all today are confused about is that the "Age of Grace" could not come into the world, until the "Age of Indignation" WAS ENDED.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Yes, Antiochus Epiphanes was that LH, and did all of that.
Unfortunately, you misunderstand that at that time in history, Israel was the mortal "Kingdom of Heaven" on earth.

When the LH, Antiochus Epiphanes stood up against the Prince of princes, among Israel, it was
Judas Maccabeus who was that Prince of the "host of heaven", aka the mortal army of Israel.
At the time of the end ,the little horn person will stand up again the Prince of princes - Jesus - and will be broken by Jesus.
Yes, Antiochus Epiphanes died in 149 BC from a sudden sickness, that was brought on by his extreme internal grief of realizing that for all of his desire to exceed at being greater than Great, all his endeavors were a complete failure being in vain.

1 Maccabees 6
[8] Now when the king heard these words, he was astonished and sore moved: whereupon he laid him down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not befallen him as he looked for.

[9] And there he continued many days: for his grief was ever more and more, and he made account that he should die.
[10] Wherefore he called for all his friends, and said unto them,

[11] And I thought with myself, Into what tribulation am I come, and how great a flood of misery is it, wherein now I am! for I was bountiful and beloved in my power.
[12] But now I remember the evils that I did at Jerusalem, and that I took all the vessels of gold and silver that were therein, and sent to destroy the inhabitants of Judea without a cause.
[13] I perceive therefore that for this cause these troubles are come upon me, and, behold, I perish through great grief in a strange land.

[14] Then called he for Philip, one of his friends, who he made ruler over all his realm,
[15] And gave him the crown, and his robe, and his signet, to the end he should bring up his son Antiochus, and nourish him up for the kingdom.
[16] So king Antiochus died there in the hundred forty and ninth year.

Time of the end is referring to when Jesus returns to this earth to rule over the nations, as the Kingdom of God will become the ruling kingdom over the nations. Christians still pray in the Lord's prayer, "thy kingdom come".

Yes, Antiochus Epiphanes was that LH, and did all of that.
Unfortunately, you misunderstand that at that time in history, Israel was the mortal "Kingdom of Heaven" on earth.
Antiochus IV was not time of the end. Nor did he stand up against Jesus. The little horn person and the 2300 days of his activities in Daniel 8 is time of the end.

Antiochus IV died in 164 BC. Long before before Jesus's first coming.

The little horn person is time of the end, and will "stand up", a phrase for attempt to make war, against the Prince of princes - Jesus. As the beast-king, he lead the kings of the earth in their effort to make war on Jesus and his army , Revelation 19:19.

19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

In the day of Jesus first appearance, as the Messiah, the Old Covenant (contract) WAS ENDED upon the day of Jesus mortal death and resurrection!!

God the Father, through Jesus, told them plainly: "The kingdom of God shall be taken from you...", which was in His Mind, the END OF ISRAEL, being a special, favored people of God.

Today, we all live under God's New Covenant (contract) of God's Grace, whereby there is NO DIFFERENCE between Jew or Gentile.

As a result, any and all of the promises made to the people of Israel, that are apart/separate from the Savior Jesus Christ, are indeed completely null and void!!

Sorry, you are preaching the religious fantasy of "church-ianity", aka "the wisdom of men". 1 Cor. 2:5.
Take notice of what the Holy Spirit through Paul said, of when the end of the world had come.
Heb. 9
[26] For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

If it was not for the sacrifice of Jesus, God the Father could have ended the world right then and there with Israel. But now through the shed blood of Jesus, God the Father has extended His GRACE to all people.

God the Father, through Jesus, told them plainly: "The kingdom of God shall be taken from you...", which was in His Mind, the END OF ISRAEL, being a special, favored people of God.

Today, we all live under God's New Covenant (contract) of God's Grace, whereby there is NO DIFFERENCE between Jew or Gentile.

As a result, any and all of the promises made to the people of Israel, that are apart/separate from the Savior Jesus Christ, are indeed completely null and void!!
The old covenant was ended as being a temporary means for atonement for sins until Jesus's death on the cross made everlasting atonement for sins - the new covenant.

The new covenant did not cancel God's promises to Israel to bring them to salvation, to believe upon Jesus and restore them as a one nation once more, no longer divided into the northern and southern kingdoms. The reuniting as one nation took place in 1948..

In Matthew 21:42-43, Jesus referred to the scripture as the builders (of the temple) rejecting the corner stone, as he declared the Kingdom of God shall be taken from that particular generation of religious leaders - the Pharisees and chief priests - verse 45.

The time of the end nation of Israel will inherit the Kingdom of God.

Ezekiel 39 gives the time of the end timeline framework for when Israel will turn to Jesus, the gospel of salvation, and all of the Jews scattered in the nations will be brought to the land of their forefathers - Israel.

Take notice of what the Holy Spirit through Paul said, of when the end of the world had come.
Heb. 9
[26] For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Did the world end 2000 years ago ? No, because that is not what Paul was saying.

Paul was saying the Jesus did not enter the holy places made with hands, verse 24, i.e. the earthy temple on the temple mount - like the high priest did once a year, verse 24, offering a blood sacrifice of others (slain animals) to atone for sin (as a temporary measure under the old covenant).

But instead Jesus presented Himself as a sacrifice for men's sins in the heavenly temple of God. verse 24.

24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

Otherwise, as verse 26 is stating, that Jesus would have to had been killed over and over, every year, from the foundation of the the world until the end of the world.

26 For then [otherwise) must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

More aptly, end of the word, means end of the age in verse 24.

Jesus's shed blood atones for sin - all sin from the foundation of the world to the end of the world - ending (putting away) sin's power to cause eternal separation from God.

As I did reveal, but you missed it:
All promises made to Israel, individually and collectively, that are apart/separate from God's Gift of salvation, through FAITH IN Jesus, those promises ARE NULL AND VOID!!!

Don't you read the NC-NT scriptures???
Apart from having FAITH IN Jesus, all Jews are UNsaved, and therefore HAVE NO PART in the KoG whatsoever, UNTIL they do have faith in Jesus.
Rom. 8:8-9 is very much to the point:
[8] So then they that are in the flesh [only] cannot please God.
[9] But ye are not in the flesh [only], but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.

Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

"[Jesus] put away sin"... "in the end the world".
Yeah, I understand it very well, just as Jesus didn't put away sin in the beginning of the world.
If I think this through correctly, I can say that I am alive in the end of the world, but I was not alive in the beginning of the world.

One can even say that BEFORE His cross was the time BC., whereas AFTER His cross is the time AD.

But, even better than that, every person who is "born again" in Christ, has been made to be dead to the world, so therefore "the end of the world" has come to them. 1 John 2:15.

Edit: as a result of "in the end of the world", being the end of the "Age", that would be exactly what I had said. The Age of the OC. was the "Age of Indignation" whereas the NC. Is the "Age of God's Grace".

It is the "Age of Indignation" that CAME TO AN END, so that God's NEW Age of Grace could begin.
