I believe we now should be watching for the deadly wound. This is not happened yet to what most people think.
That is why the elect are so few

I believe that happens when Jerusalem is surrounded and forced to surrender
Then the antichrist will have to come and fix it the deadly wound. isn’t it? A wonder why everybody thinks Israel is the chosen people when in fact, they are the most heathen God hating people on the planet. Israel is the antichrist chosen people not Jesus

What is wrong with christians
Even Trump is not a Christian most are too stupid to notice. He’s a Jew.
Yes. Your correct on the deadly wound. And the election are few, your correct.

Election come from Israel my friends.

1 Peter 2:9

But you are chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Israel is were the election come from.

Romans chapter 11

The Jews were grafted out of the olive tree.

Both Israel and gentiles are of the wild olive tree.

Israel is the election.

Greek = EKLEKTOS
In English it means = Election, elect.

Read Roman's chapter 11
Read 1 Peter chapter 2.

Revelation chapter 13.

Deadly wound will happen in 5 th trump to one world political system.
Satan in his role as antichrist will heal deadly at 6 th trump.

Further documentation
Deuteronomy chapter 7

Election are of Israel.

I gave cross reference.

Take care.

The United States Defense Department has deployed twelve warships to the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea as Middle Eastern tensions escalate.



The fleet includes the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt along with destroyers and other warships.

The deployment follows the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah military chief Fouad Shoker. Both deaths were attributed to Israel’s national intelligence agency, Mossad. (End quote)

US: Iranian Attack on Israel Could Be Worse Than April Assault

According to the sources, the Pentagon has consulted with U.S. Central Command on adjustments to American military deployments in the region, adding that no final decision was made as of Thursday afternoon.

Iran’s attack could be launched in the “coming days,” the officials said.

The Lebanese Al-Akhbar daily, which is close to Iran’s Hezbollah terrorist proxy, reported on Friday that the assault will involve Tehran’s entire “Axis of Resistance,” which includes Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Yemen’s Houthis, and other regional terrorist groups.

In a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday, President Joe Biden “reaffirmed” Washington’s backing for Jerusalem’s security, vowing to support it against “all threats from Iran, including its proxy terrorist groups Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis.”(end quote)

Looks like all out war with Iran and it’s proxies is coming soon.

Daniel 2:31-40 “Thou, O king, sawest, 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, (1st beast) his breast and his arms of silver,(2nd beast) his belly and his thighs of brass,(3rd beast) 33 His legs of iron,(4th beast) his "feet" part of iron and part of clay. (10 toes = 10 kings)
34 Thou sawest till that a stone(Lord our Rock) was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon "his feet" that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. (10 toes=10 kings)
35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold,(all 4 beasts) broken to pieces "together",

(global 4th beast contains parts of all previous 3 beasts) and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone(Lord our Rock) that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

36 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold. (Babylonian Empire= 1ST BEAST=Lion)

39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, (Medes and Persian Empire 2nd Beast= Bear)

and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.(Grecian Empire of Alexander the great 3rd beast=leopard)

40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. (Roman Empire start of 4th beast)………runs all the way to the end=….. 2 feet divided kingdom with 10 subdivided toes=10 kings=10 horns…….

.Daniel 2:41-44 “And whereas thou sawest "the feet" and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be “divided;”but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 And as “the toes”of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
44 And in the days of these kings (10 toes=10 horns) shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume "all these kingdoms", and it shall stand for ever.”

Ok now, Look at the 4th beast leading up to the "feet" and 10 toes=10 horns=10 kings shown in ….

Daniel 7:7 “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: (bears feet Rev 13:2) and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. (10 toes=10 kings)

Now to the 10 kings in 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.”

And I believe we are even given a foreshadowing of the 10 kings here in ….Psalm 83:1-8 “Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with "one consent": (one mind) they are confederate against thee:
6 The tabernacles of Edom,(#1) and the Ishmaelites;(#2) of Moab, (#3)and the Hagarenes;(#4)
7 Gebal,(#5) and Ammon, (#6)and Amalek;(#7) the Philistines(#8) with the inhabitants of Tyre;(#9)
8 Assur (#10) also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.”

10 kings are given "one mind" (one consent) as shown above….

Revelation 17:13 “These have "one mind", and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.”

Ishmaelites=Islam Edom=Esau and contain all the children of the "flesh"

God warned the children of Israel, because they had forgotten Him, that He would be "like" these 4 beasts notice below....

Hosea 13:7 "Therefore I will be unto them as "a lion"(#1) as a "leopard"(#3) by the way will I observe them: I will meet them as "a bear"(#2) that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the "wild beast"(#4)shall tear them."

Now what is interesting is the last beast shown to Daniel in Daniel 7:7 is the "wild beast" mentioned above. It is called "dreadful and terrible" but notice in Daniel 7:7 we are told this 4th and final beast would "stamp the residue with “the feet”of it"

Daniel 7:7 "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"

I believe the reason this 4th and final beast is different (diverse) is because it is a conglomeration of the first 3 previous beasts combined, and it is "global", being guided by "the spirit" of the Red Dragon.

But what I want you to notice is the "feet"that is said to stamp "the residue" of the people.

Keep in mind, God was talking about the flesh and blood Jews in the judgment above. The "remnant" of the Jews is the very last portion mentioned in scripture. As God often shows 3 main groups first, and the 4th and final being the "remnant".

The 4th and final beast is shown in Revelation 13:2 "And the beast which I saw was like unto a "leopard", and his feet as "the feet of a bear," and his mouth as the mouth of "a lion," and the Dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and his great authority."

So the 4th and final beast is made up of all the previous 3 beasts, but again notice the "feet".

The "feet" are the feet of the bear kingdom, which as we saw above would stamp the "residue" or the "remnant" of Israel.

This bear Kingdom as we saw above is the old Persian Empire, which today is better known as Iran. And so has been, and still is the biggest threat to the nation of Israel at this present point in time, it is Iran and all it’s allies.

So keep your eyes open, and watch! Peace and God bless
The best identification of the ten kings I've seen so far in these boards. Who would have guessed that somewhere, scripture itself identifies them?

I agree with everything else in your post, also. I've seen it myself (save the identification of the ten kings).

THANK YOU FOR POSTING! IMO it's a very very important piece of information you gave regarding the identification of those ten in Psalms.

SEVEN KINGDOMS (Revelation 17):

Five have fallen, and one is, and the other has not yet come.

(Revelation 17:10)

6. Roman Empire - existed when John wrote the Revelation - so is not the kingdom that "was and is not" or the kingdom that 'will ascend from the abyss and go to perdition - i.e not the 8th king which the ten kings were said to hand over all their power & authority to).

7. 10 kings + the 8th king (the beast ascended from the abyss).​

Abyss Beast.pngSeleucid Empire 281 BC.png

And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and its feet like those of a bear, and its mouth like the mouth of a lion. (Daniel 7:2-14; Revelation 13:2).

1. Babylon ("the lion")
2. Medo-Persia ("the bear")
3. Greece ("the leopard")
4. Seleucia (ceased to exist as an empire in 164 BC)
5. Egypt (ceased to exist as a kingdom in 30 BC)​

I was not presenting a false argument only stating an observation of your style of posting.
Tut. Tut. Teapots and kettles arguing with one another.

PS: Your vessel is far blacker than his when it comes to the things you accuse him of, IMHO.

The significance of the dreams of Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel are the continuity of imperial power in the region containing Israel. I agree that they are Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. Persia represents 2 arms, and Rome represents 2 legs. Babylon was the head, but the rest of the body was bilateral in appendages. In fact, there was Media/Persia, Macedon/Greek, and East/West Rome. The feet would obviously represent East/West Rome at the end of its history.

Rome produced European Civilization, along with its law and imperial tradition. So the 10 toes represent East/West Europe, in my view. The 2 feet are therefore 5 kingdoms from W. Europe, and 5 kingdoms from E. Europe.

The role Russia plays in this I don't know? It is part of E. Europe. Whether the Americas play a role in Western Civilization I also don't know. But they aren't in W. Europe.

All of the ancient characteristics are in the 4th Kingdom of Europe. They are the leopard, bear, and lion, which are not, I think, the ancient powers they represented in Daniel, but rather, characteristics associated with these animals, which are predatory and dangerous. They are fast, strong, and stealthy.

The Beast is an empire, represented by the Roman Tradition. But there is a 2nd Beast, which may indicate a latter-day emergence of this Roman Tradition, which I call European Civilization. It gives life to the image of the ancient Roman Beast, re-forming it into a modern-day counterpart.

This image and this modern-day Europe are led by 2 men, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet. The fact they bring back ancient Roman paganism is attractive to those turning away from the Christian tradition. It may appear as a form of miraculous resurrection, indicating God approves of this form of paganism, which, of course, is absurd.

This is all speculative on my part. I'm trying to work it out with the Lord's help. I'm open to any and all input that takes God's word seriously.
It has nothing to do with Rome, IMO. The two legs are both Grecian. They came out of, and were part of, the leopard.

A beast is a kingdom. Europe (the Treaty of Rome) may be the false prophet that has two horns like a lamb yet speaks like a dragon.

I said may be. I don't pretend to know anything for sure until it's obvious. What's obvious is that the symbols of leopard, bear and lion do not point to Rome.​

I've been watching this very closely. My prayerful hope is that "Joseph" will yet reveal to His brethren who He is, and save them from death. At first they will be dismayed in His presence, just as Joseph's brethren were.

Those enemies of Israel hate the God of the Bible - the God of Isaac and of Jacob - and are busy applying all biblical prophecy regarding those enemies of God, to themselves. I don't know if there has ever been such a coming together of world events that looks like it's straight out of prophetic scripture, as there is now.​

In the news…Blinken: Iran Could Attack Israel in 24 Hours
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said an attack by Iran and Hezbollah could happen as early as Monday, reported Axios, citing three sources briefed on a call Blinken had with G7 leaders late Sunday.
Blinken coordinated the call with U.S. allies in an effort to put as much last-minute diplomatic pressure as possible on Iran and Hezbollah to temper any potential retaliation against Israel, according to Axios. Sources say Blinken emphasized the importance of preventing an all-out war.
Blinken allegedly indicated that the United States is prepared for retaliation from Iran and Hezbollah in response to the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh and military commander Fuad Shukr. But, he said, it is unclear what form the relation will take.
Sources said Blinken indicated that while the U.S. does not know the exact time of the attacks, they could begin as early as the next 24-48 hours. (End quote)

I would remain quiet if I were you.

You may be right, about the teapots and kettles arguing with one and other.

But my observation that His claiming that the HS showed him his understanding is a false argument often used to win an argument by many without any other substance to back it up.

The usual logic employed by your friend is that He is always right.

Now in my opinion the nations with dominion over the Land of Babylon are:

1. Babylon/the Chaldeans.
2. The Medes and the Persians
3. The Grecian empire/empires

Now there is a period of around 2,000 years, somewhere between 100 BC to 1926 AD, where Babylon lay devasted and desolated at the hand of the Seleucid Greek Empire who disburse the people of Babylon throughout their empire.

4. In 1926 the nation of Iraq was formed to have dominion over the Land of Babylon by the British and the French Nations after WW1.

5. In 2003 the Coalition of the Willing lead by the USA invaded Iraq and established their dominion over the Land of Babylon

All of the above nations having dominion over the Land of Babylon can be discerned from the scriptures and history.

As for Daniel 7, the five beasts are wicked heavenly host who are able to influence different people groups, kingdoms, Nations and Empires to do their bidding to achieve the outcomes which shows the dominate characteristic of the respective five heavenly hosts.

But the above information may be difficult for many to comprehend.

Shalom

US Flexes Mideast Muscle Amid Pending Iran Attack​

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered a guided missile submarine to the Middle East and is telling the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group to sail more quickly to the area, as the U.S. on Monday said it believes Iran or its proxies may launch a strike against Israel as soon as this week.

The moves, announced by the Defense Department Sunday, come as the U.S. and other allies push for Israel and Hamas to achieve a cease-fire that could help calm soaring tensions in the region following the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and a senior Hezbollah commander in Beirut.

Officials have been on the lookout for retaliatory strikes by Iran and Hezbollah for the killings, and the U.S. has been beefing up its presence in the region.(end quote)

In response to the OP:

The feet of a bear (referred to in Revelation) is talking about people who have a form of godliness, but deny it's power (NT letters, from memory). These people have a grip on reality - bear's feet - but deny its connection with God. It's like saying there is such a thing as "Kosher Evolution", Evolution that does not seek to change those that believe in it. This is important because it reflects the anti-christ, who has no desire to change, to repent and turn from his sins. These people will go to Hell; life on Earth is just a waiting period to them. It's like getting on the bus, but insisting you be the driver and then complaining to God when you crash.

"They are wind and confusion" (OT, from memory).

I'm not trying to scare you, I'm just saying that God anticipates all these things, and still wishes that people come to Him, in sincerity of conviction, to be saved.

The problem is that while the Earth is like this, and people lampoon their ignorance before God, all you can do is keep the Word of the Lord and try to avoid compromise (like "Kosher Evolution", what on Earth is that?). The time is coming when the temptation to compromise will be very slight, but until then it is a tribulation like no other.

Iran Wants Trump Eliminated by Election Day​

The Islamic regime in Iran is trying to assassinate former President Donald Trump, with hopes of doing so by Nov. 5, Election Day.

Multiple governmental sources associated with U.S. allies across the Mideast have informed me of the danger.

In the assessments of several governments, the Iranian regime has made clear it wants to rid itself of Trump — and it believes it must do so by Election Day.

The ayatollahs' mortal animus against Trump is not a secret.

After Trump ordered a Baghdad drone missile strike in January 2020 that successfully killed Qassem Soleimani, head of the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), Tehran vowed bloody revenge.

Soleimani was a revered figure within the regime's base of supporters, second only in power to Ayatollah Khamanei.

Now, with the U.S. election race close, the power figures believe Iran's growing status as a regional Mideast powerhouse will be at serious risk if the former president returns to the White House.

Throughout his campaign, Trump has repeatedly promised that if elected, he will stop the regime's nuclear weapons program and defund it with crippling sanctions.

"Iran is very close to having a nuclear weapon, which would have never happened," Trump said in his keynote address to the Republican National Convention last month in Milwaukee.

"This is a shame ... the damage that this administration has done," Trump told the nation.

Trump blames the Biden administration for the resurgence of Iran's nuclear program and its misdeeds across the region in the wake of Oct. 7.

"Iran was broke. Iran had no money," Trump said during the convention. "Now Iran has $250 billion. They made it all over the last 2 1/2 years. They were broke."

When the former president says "Iran" he means the Islamic regime that overthrew the shah and took power in 1979.

Trump has vowed repeatedly to use sanctions and make that regime broke, a result the mullahs cannot accept.

Today, killing Trump remains Tehran's safest option and its highest priority next to growing the country's nuclear program.

One U.S. intelligence source tells me that safeguarding Trump at rallies and keeping his private plane secure remains a challenge for the Secret Service.

In the past the assassination of a former president, U.S. leader, or presidential candidate would have drawn serious repercussions for an aggressor state.

But friendly sources throughout the region say the Islamist rulers believe they are immune from serious reprisals from the U.S. if they succeed in killing Trump.

The ayatollahs' allies and their terror groups openly claim on social media and in private conversations that Trump will not be a worry because they believe he won't be alive on Election Day.

As Trump's term drew to an end, the regime's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said publicly Trump was in his agencies' crosshairs, promising "revenge on the orderer and killer of Qassem Soleimani."

Since then, the regime's leaders have made multiple verbal threats on Trump's life.

Last year, IRGC Cmdr. Amir Ali Hajizadeh said on a television program, "We are seeking to, Allah willing, kill Trump and [former Secretary of State Mike] Pompeo."

And just before last month's unsuccessful assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, the U.S. had received intelligence of a regime-backed plot to kill Trump.

While the information prompted the Secret Service to take steps to beef up security, the rally near miss shows just how vulnerable Trump remains.

In court filings made public this month, the Department of Justice alleged that a Pakistani man with ties to Iran traveled to New York City to lead an effort to assassinate Trump in late August or early September.

The DOJ documents indicated other current and former U.S. officials were also being targeted by Tehran.

U.S. law enforcement has also revealed that Trump's campaign has been targeted by the regime with cyberattacks, including a recent and sophisticated hack of an aide's email account.

The backdrop to the growing danger to Trump is the U.S.'s belief the Islamic regime is believed to be just weeks away from acquiring a nuclear device.

Last week in an opinion piece I wrote for "Independent Arabiya," I reported that the regime already has acquired tactical nuclear weapons.

Such weapons can be operational at any time at the orders of Khamenei.

My sources indicate Tehran's strategy has been to use the significant funds it has amassed during the Obama and Biden years to purchase smaller tactical nuclear weapons.

At the same time, Iran has been developing the capability to make its own larger nuclear devices.

Tehran has also been using its newfound oil wealth to fund a massive propaganda and influence campaign across the Mideast, Europe, and the U.S.

For Tehran, the stakes are high if it fails to stop Trump, who has promised to greatly reduce Iran's oil revenues.

The stakes are also extremely high for America, Israel, and the West if Iran succeeds in its deadly plan. (End quote)

UN Demands Halt to Escalating Attacks Between Hezbollah, Israel

The U.N. Security Council on Wednesday demanded a halt to the increasing attacks between Lebanon's Hezbollah terrorists and Israeli forces and warned that further escalation "carries the high risk of leading to a widespread conflict."

Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah pulled back after an exchange of heavy fire across the U.N.-drawn boundary between Lebanon and Israel over the weekend. But their decades-old conflict is far from over and regional tensions linked to the war in Gaza are still high.

The Security Council demand that Israel and Hezbollah halt hostilities came in a French-drafted resolution unanimously approved by its 15 members, urging the "relevant actors" to restore "calm, restraint and stability." Council resolutions are legally binding though often ignored.

The risk of open warfare remains real, and we are mobilized alongside our regional and international partners to avoid a regional conflagration," France's deputy U.N. ambassador, Nathalie Broadhurst, said before the vote.

Israel's U.N. ambassador, Danny Danon, told reporters that he had a message for the Lebanese people: "You and your government have a choice to make, confront Hezbollah today or watch as your country is dragged into chaos and destruction."

Lebanon's representative, Hadi Hachem, was far more diplomatic, thanking the council after the vote for its clear message "in favor of stability and a cease-fire." And he urged members: "Let's work together, not only to end the escalation" but toward "a just and comprehensive peace."

The resolution extended for another year the mandate of the U.N. peacekeeping force in Lebanon known as UNIFIL, which was created to oversee the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon after a 1978 invasion and has been there ever since.

The Security Council expanded the mission after a 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah so that peacekeepers could deploy along the Lebanon-Israel border to help Lebanese troops extend their authority into their country's south for the first time in decades. That resolution also called for a full cessation of Israeli-Hezbollah hostilities, which has not happened.

Hezbollah supporters in Lebanon frequently accuse the U.N. mission of collusion with Israel, while Israel has accused the peacekeepers of turning a blind eye to Hezbollah's military activities in southern Lebanon.

During the ongoing clashes between Hezbollah and Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, UNIFIL facilities or vehicles have been hit by shelling or gunfire on several occasions. Earlier this month, UNIFIL said three peacekeepers on patrol were lightly injured when an explosion happened near their vehicle. ( end quote)

Trump said…
“WOW, JUST OUT! THE FBI CAUGHT IRAN SPYING ON MY CAMPAIGN, AND GIVING ALL OF THE INFORMATION TO THE KAMALA HARRIS CAMPAIGN. THEREFORE SHE AND HER CAMPAIGN WERE ILLEGALLY SPYING ON ME," Trump posted Wednesday night on Truth Social.

"TO BE KNOWN AS THE IRAN, IRAN, IRAN CASE! WILL KAMALA RESIGN IN DISGRACE FROM POLITICS? WILL THE COMMUNIST LEFT PICK A NEW CANDIDATE TO REPLACE HER?"

On Thursday, Trump resumed commenting on the situation.

"WHEN DOES KAMALA AND HER CAMPAIGN GO BEFORE A GRAND JURY ON IRAN, IRAN, IRAN? MY CAMPAIGN WHEN THROUGH HELL ON THE RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA HOAX. THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE IRAN/KAMALA CAMPAIGN CORRUPTION CASE IS REAL!" he posted.”(end quote)

Trump makes a good point, are they going to investigate Democrats for colluding with Iran to steal an election?

Daniel 2:31-40 “Thou, O king, sawest, 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, (1st beast) his breast and his arms of silver,(2nd beast) his belly and his thighs of brass,(3rd beast) 33 His legs of iron,(4th beast) his "feet" part of iron and part of clay. (10 toes = 10 kings)
34 Thou sawest till that a stone(Lord our Rock) was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon "his feet" that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. (10 toes=10 kings)
35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold,(all 4 beasts) broken to pieces "together",

(global 4th beast contains parts of all previous 3 beasts) and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone(Lord our Rock) that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

36 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold. (Babylonian Empire= 1ST BEAST=Lion)

39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, (Medes and Persian Empire 2nd Beast= Bear)

and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.(Grecian Empire of Alexander the great 3rd beast=leopard)

40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. (Roman Empire start of 4th beast)………runs all the way to the end=….. 2 feet divided kingdom with 10 subdivided toes=10 kings=10 horns…….

.Daniel 2:41-44 “And whereas thou sawest "the feet" and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be “divided;”but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 And as “the toes”of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
44 And in the days of these kings (10 toes=10 horns) shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume "all these kingdoms", and it shall stand for ever.”

Ok now, Look at the 4th beast leading up to the "feet" and 10 toes=10 horns=10 kings shown in ….

Daniel 7:7 “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: (bears feet Rev 13:2) and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. (10 toes=10 kings)

Now to the 10 kings in 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.”

And I believe we are even given a foreshadowing of the 10 kings here in ….Psalm 83:1-8 “Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with "one consent": (one mind) they are confederate against thee:
6 The tabernacles of Edom,(#1) and the Ishmaelites;(#2) of Moab, (#3)and the Hagarenes;(#4)
7 Gebal,(#5) and Ammon, (#6)and Amalek;(#7) the Philistines(#8) with the inhabitants of Tyre;(#9)
8 Assur (#10) also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.”

10 kings are given "one mind" (one consent) as shown above….

Revelation 17:13 “These have "one mind", and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.”

Ishmaelites=Islam Edom=Esau and contain all the children of the "flesh"

God warned the children of Israel, because they had forgotten Him, that He would be "like" these 4 beasts notice below....

Hosea 13:7 "Therefore I will be unto them as "a lion"(#1) as a "leopard"(#3) by the way will I observe them: I will meet them as "a bear"(#2) that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the "wild beast"(#4)shall tear them."

Now what is interesting is the last beast shown to Daniel in Daniel 7:7 is the "wild beast" mentioned above. It is called "dreadful and terrible" but notice in Daniel 7:7 we are told this 4th and final beast would "stamp the residue with “the feet”of it"

Daniel 7:7 "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"

I believe the reason this 4th and final beast is different (diverse) is because it is a conglomeration of the first 3 previous beasts combined, and it is "global", being guided by "the spirit" of the Red Dragon.

But what I want you to notice is the "feet"that is said to stamp "the residue" of the people.

Keep in mind, God was talking about the flesh and blood Jews in the judgment above. The "remnant" of the Jews is the very last portion mentioned in scripture. As God often shows 3 main groups first, and the 4th and final being the "remnant".

The 4th and final beast is shown in Revelation 13:2 "And the beast which I saw was like unto a "leopard", and his feet as "the feet of a bear," and his mouth as the mouth of "a lion," and the Dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and his great authority."

So the 4th and final beast is made up of all the previous 3 beasts, but again notice the "feet".

The "feet" are the feet of the bear kingdom, which as we saw above would stamp the "residue" or the "remnant" of Israel.

This bear Kingdom as we saw above is the old Persian Empire, which today is better known as Iran. And so has been, and still is the biggest threat to the nation of Israel at this present point in time, it is Iran and all it’s allies.

So keep your eyes open, and watch! Peace and God bless
The feet of the bear that belongs to the beast in Revelation 13 is a spiritual metaphor linked to the characteristic of the Persian Empire of Daniel's day. The beast of Revelation 13 is the antichrist of our day, sharing that same characteristic. That characteristic was seen expressed in Daniel 6:8,12,15. What spiritual entity today believes its laws/ statutes cannot be changed, or altered, once written and signed by its ruler, and yet having even the power and authority to change even divine law?

In the news….
Israel’s military says an "extensive" wave of airstrikes has hit more than 300 Hezbollah targets Monday as residents of southern Lebanon are being warned to stay away from buildings where the terrorist group is storing weapons.

The strikes are in response to Hezbollah launching around 150 rockets, missiles and drones into northern Israel on Sunday following Israeli military operations that resulted in the deaths of multiple top Hezbollah commanders. Monday's strikes so far have killed more than 180 in Lebanon and have left over 700 injured, health officials there told The Associated Press.

"I urge the Lebanese residents… who are inside or near houses where rockets and weapons are stored, to move away immediately! For your safety and protection," Israel Defense Forces spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a statement.”(end quote)

Looks like Israels focus has now turned to Lebanon to the north.

Psalm 29

King James Version

29 Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength.
2 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord is upon many waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars; yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon
