The falling away (of the Church), is far slower,, than men expect (selah)

[ewq1938]

"And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone."

There are two beasts in that verse. Which one is Daniels 4th beast?

There are two beasts in that verse. Which one is Daniels 4th beast?

"And the beast (the image) was taken, and with him (the image) the false prophet that wrought miracles before him (the image) , with which he (the FP) deceived them that had received the mark of the beast (the image) , and them that worshipped his (the FP's) image (the beast/image) . These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone."

Only one beast, the image. Only one human, the FP.

Which set of Daniel's prophecies are you referring to? This beast after the Second Coming is the aftermath of all continents coming together as one single beast with 10 kingdoms still somewhat in tack. The FP represents this beast in a miraculous way. The beast out of the earth/pit is Satan himself. Satan is the beast that kills the two witnesses.

Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Dan 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.


Are you saying the beast highlighted in red is Daniels 4th beast?

No. I don't think any of Daniel's beast are still future. Rome and perhaps the revived Roman Empire was as far into the future as Daniel sees. The stone cut out without hands was Christ and the NT church. Some have taught that Daniel 7 is Great Britain, Russia, the US, and perhaps Islam. But this chapter is before 8 which is about the rise of Greece. Chapter 11 may cover Rome? I just don't see Daniel covering much past the dark ages.

There is only the FP and the image brought to life. The image is is not a king nor a kingdom, but a beast. That beast is not described at all but refered to as a "him". The beast in this verse cast into the LOF is a creation of Satan in the image of the FP, so the image was in human form, but not human, only a literal beast without a soul. Definitely not a kingdom of humans nor a human king over a modern nation.

No one seems to accept the FP and this beast do not appear until after the 7th Trumpet is already sounding. The 7th Trumpet is the set of days mentioned in Daniel 9:27. Jesus Christ as Prince is the one at the 7th Trumpet confirming the Atonement Covenant.

"And he (Messiah as Prince) shall confirm the covenant (the Atonement) with many for one week (of days) : and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."

The 7th Trumpet is a week long sounding. The celebration week at the end of the Final Harvest. All souls are being accounted for in the Lamb's book of life. This is the confirmation mentioned by Gabriel. If there are souls left to glean, these souls are who will be beheaded over the next 42 months. The week is split in half. The last 3.5 days of the week will be the 3.5 days the 2 witnesses lay dead in Jerusalem. Those same 3.5 days are when the 7 vials are poured out in Revelation 16. The last day will be a Sunday. The 2 witnesses will be resurrected early Sunday morning, and by 5pm the battle of Armageddon will commence for 1 hour. But the 42 months given to Satan and the FP is when they bring this beast to life, and utter desolation reigns from the throne of Messiah the Prince for those 42 months like Daniel 9:27 declares. If the final harvest gathered all the souls, and no souls are left, then the sounding of the 7th Trumpet is not interrupted. The week ends after the celebration is complete, and the winepress of Christ's wrath is complete.
