The image of man was knocked off it's feet by Christ. The ten toes were the ten districts of the country annexed by Rome and ruled by herods. I'm not going to cut and paste years of revelations, just saying... for anyone to be still looking into the future as in the dispensational form of "futurism", forget it. All things have been fulfilled out of the O.T. In Christ.
The only thing remaining is the final transformation of our lives and bodies, as those who've gone before us have and become all in all one with God. Let's preach this Jesus who knocked that image off it's feet, and is still grinding to dust, the remaining wicked parts of each and every one of us. For Now, we are One with that Rock that has grown and filled us with His very being, the Christ from Heaven and Jesus of Nazareth, One new Man so making us that One Great Mountain Zion the City of the Living God. This is what it's all about :)

Ofnthe enemy can broaden your focus.. he can steal it from the very "present moment" of you walking with god.." ground inspection" is so very important too... I am asking myself and inspecting the ground " im standing on" continually.. if I am able to throw ANY dirt.. I myself am not standing on solid ground..you can not pick up dirt standing on solid ground...inspect the dirt in your hands .. and ask the question... am I throwing any dirt..

The Revelation of Jesus Christ was from John on Patmos to James Pastor of the Jerusalem Church in AD 69 for the purpose of Jesus' continued protection of the New Jerusalem fledgling Church trapped by the siege of Titus. A continuation of the Olivet Prophecy, final warning, from Jesus to His Body, the time in now to get out before the bloodbath comes.
As in all Jesus prophecies of His New Jerusalem Church, interwoven is the purpose of that New Nation of Saints, to go out and gather Israel together to the Marriage Supper into all nations where they've been scattered, preaching Jesus, bring salvation, becoming One New Body, in fact Becoming the Bride of Christ, bringing forth from within our very temple bodies, the Living God Himself, Jesus Christ in New Birth, Born from above.
This is the Gospel. There is never a different message in it than this. It will always be the same. The Book is Beautiful in one knows how to read it by comparing every verse in it to it's source in the O.T. This might be more obvious for someone from my background so let me just say, every sign used in Revelation is directly from the O.T. A lot of Ezekiel, if anyone would ever like to see all of Ezekiel fulfilled in Revelation, for it is fulfilled in US of course, for WE are the Temple of the Living God. There isn't ever going to be some "other" temple. Especially one built by men's hands.
Anyway, there ya go. :)

Rev 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
Rev 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
Rev 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.
Rev 17:13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
Rev 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

Notice what these ten kings do? They make war with the Lamb...

Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Rev 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Rev 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Rev 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
Rev 19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

Zec 14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
Zec 14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Zec 14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Zec 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

Happens at the return of Christ. It is not history, it is future.

Amen and agree...seems pretty obvious when you do not spiritualize everything away into a box for sure.......
