Foreword Firstly I just
want the reader to be aware that I hold no malice or prejudices against
anyone or anything that I know of, dealing with everything that comes my way as
part of my personal growth and self awareness, desiring to be more Christ
like. And if there was, my personal growth, pursuit of righteousness and
seeking of truth, would have me deal with it and grow beyond it. It is the truth
which sets us free. Nothing less, and we need to see
it no matter how painful it is. We also need to remember the essence of God
is love, for the truth without love and compassion can become cruelty. We are
brothers and sisters of mankind, God’s will is that
we love one another. |
When we look at the actual
imagery conveyed in the prophecies to the actual world events fulfilling them,
we can see a need to make some minor conceptual changes. We also need to look
at various translated versions and the original texts words meanings in their
original languages.
The fourth beast of Daniel 7, has 7 heads and 10 horns, and a smaller horn comes up
among them and it says 3 horns are ripped out by it. But if seen in the context
of what really happened is that 3 horns founded a new great land, and it
rejected all of them took on it’s own independent power, and grew to be a big
horn boasting of great things.
Also it says the eyes of a
man were given to this horn.
But consider the imagery. See
a group of horns and one coming up among them. It looks like a little triangle
like a pyramid as it is starting to form. The translation actually says it was
the given the EYE (singular) of a man. And if we look at the symbol on
the US dollar note, there is the pyramid with the EYE on it, which is supposed
to be the all seeing EYE of God, as the Eye of Horace and the Great Architect.
However if you look at the eye for these in history it is a symbol of a drawn
eye, where as here this eye is actually of the likeness of a man.
Dan 7:8 (ASV) I
considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another horn, a
little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots:
and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth
speaking great things.
Dan 7:8 (KJV) I
considered1934, 7920 the horns,7162 and, behold,431

The above King James Version
is the first translation into English from the original Hebrew and Greek texts,
and the numbers are from Strong’s break down of each word of the original
language. So here we can see the word root Hebrew which is translated into the
English as EYES. The number 5870 is translated twice one after the other with a
different result. The first one says eyes, the second says like the eyes.
However the Hebrew word simply means an eye.
|
H5870 עין ‛ayin ah'-yin (Chaldee); corresponding to H5869; an eye: - eye. |
So we see translations vary
according to the context and feeling of the translator and their impressions of
the original text. This however means we need to at times research key words.
So here we have found it is
NOT EYES but simply ONE EYE, like the EYE of a man. This is very telling as you
can see in the animation of the 10 horns with the small horn growing up large.
The 10 Horns of Daniel 7

The
foundation of a New Country by the British, the French and the Spanish, each major
empires in their day, each with major wars against each over the years. The roots of the
These 3 horns which are said
to be torn out by the roots, can be seen in the
practical factor, that the roots of the 11th horn are from the original 3. So
these 3 horns are not done away with, but lose their power in the new kingdom
of the little horn which grew big. This new kingdom boasts of how good it is,
and how it will do much better without all the submission to kings on other
soil.
The war for independence
(1775-1783) had them forge their new kingdom with some blood from the previous
horns, some for them, the Spanish and French and one against them,
Note: This is mentioned in
many visions and prophecies in various ways and needs to be considered how all
these things line up and overlay one another.
The Beast of Revelation 13:1
coming out of the sea and standing on the sea shore is in line with the beasts
of the sea seen by Daniel in his chapter 7 vision. You can see that this beast
is combinations of all the previous beasts before, and indeed such is knowledge
and technology, that the best is taken from each by the next power. The Greeks
were the philosophers and scientists of maths and medicine and they left that
legacy for all empires to come. The Romans were builders of roads and sewers
and the aqueducts, as well as record keepers and clerics, and these methods
were adapted by many which came after them. Indeed the modern computer
effectively is a cleric system of records and files, replacing all the written
records with electronic versions of them.
Rev 13:1 Then the
dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. I saw a beast coming out of the sea.
It had ten horns, seven heads, and ten royal crowns on its horns. On its heads
were blasphemous names.
Rev 13:2 The
beast that I saw was like a leopard. Its feet were like bear's feet, and its
mouth was like a lion's mouth. The dragon gave it his power, his throne, and
complete authority.

The original three beasts of
Daniel 7 were
The fourth beast was seen as
completely different from a simple lion, bear and leopard. It was not described
as any animal that had ever been, it was said to be terrible and powerful and
exceedingly strong. Iron teeth, claws of brass, and feet to trample down
everything it didn’t devour or claw.
And now we find John’s vision
combines them all together into one beast from the sea in Revelation 13. But
now consider what we have learnt from the little horn vision and animation. And
let us see the modern factors involved. The Lion of modern times is the symbol
of mother
The mouth speaks among other
things. It is the place of the tongue, the word given for languages. So does
this mean that the final beast of Revelation 13 speaks English? Well it seems
very much the case. Note it did not say tongue, but mouth of a lion. And indeed
there are so many variations of English that perhaps tongue would have been off
putting to the literalists. So a mouth allows for the transition of one tongue
into another from the same origin.
In Daniel 7 all four of the
beasts came out of the sea. In Revelation 13 this one beast comes out of the
sea, and it has something stand out here. As often is the case, factors in
prophecies often have several meanings. For
