You Said first beast spend in 1204 mean second beast start at 1204 than you Said second beast happen at 1054, kind of little confusing for me
2nd beast started around 330ad when constantine made official religion of rome. the two horns signify a split in the catholic church to east and west in 1054.

little horn of daniel was roman emperor until it was transfered over to roman pontiff around 330 ad.

But you Said first beast end in 1204 so from 330 to 1204 who rule the world? First beast or second beast?

You have to follow the history and read the prophesy.

The first and second beast worked in tandem. The Roman Catholic Church Served the State (Roman Empire).
But then there was a separation of East and west Catholic Church.

So the Eastern Orthodox church (one horn of the 2nd beast) served the Eastern Roman empire until it's fall in 1204.

The western Latin Roman Church broke away from the Eastern Roman Empire and worked in tandem with the Holy Roman Empire.

Here is a depiction of what it looked like in the middle ages

Eastern Roman Empire (1st beast) + Eastern Orthoxdox Catholic Church (2nd beast)
Holy Roman Empire (1st beast) + Western Roman Catholic Church (2nd beast)

So if you believe the Pope is antichrist who are the Saints that are persecuted by him?

The Pope will buddy up with antichrist and then Christ will come and defeat them?

If antichrist comes and attacks the Catholic Church many will see their scriptures fulfilled and think Christ has returned?

You will be in league with those who don't believe in the Trinity.

I would not say "about the same" at all. For starters, the Jewish religious leaders could read. Mohammed could not. He re-visioned God's plan for the Messiah to come through Issac's line, claiming Ishmael was the child of promise, and puts himself in the place of Christ as Ishmael's descendant. Meanwhile the Jews are still setting table for Elijah at their Passover meals, awaiting the coming of their Messiah.

First beast end 1204 , second beast start 330
Than you say split at 1054. Is that mean second beast end when It split?

Daniel 9
27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’[h] In the middle of the ‘seven’[i] he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple[j] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.[k]”[l]

When this verse happen?

No time limit given for the second beast. Only time limit given of 42 months for the first beast.

Before understanding the mark of the beast, one must understand the image of the beast.

The image of the beast is the image of the dead man on the cross (crucifix). The second beast (Roman Catholic Church) set up an image in honor of the first beast: the crucifix. Since the first beast is the Roman Empire that executed people by crucifixion, it makes perfect sense that the image of the beast is a dead man on a cross (crucifix).
Why do you make up this rubbish?

"My name forever" Exodus 3:15

The Jews are in covenant relationship with and worship YHVH.

Muslims worship a different god who among other things
Cannot be personal
Has no son
Requires an oath to a false prophet.
Requires daily physical bowing to a sacred stone in the east.

Yes, the era of the 2nd beast is over. The imperial governments of europe have also been relaced by secular democratic governments.

therefore the 2nd beast and the 1st beast are not today.
The inquisitions are over.

"After nearly four centuries of activity, the Spanish Inquisition executed its last victim, a schoolteacher named Cayetano Ripoll, today (July 26) in 1826. From 1478-1834, inquisitors strove to ensure orthodoxy within the Catholic Church, often using torture to extract confessions from those accused of heresy."

The Beast is not, but the False Prophet persists. He sits on the throne in the Vatican.

Excommunication means essentially nothing today. The Roman Catholic Church in the 20th century has entered into beginnings of the fulfillment of The Prostitute of Babylon Revelation chapter 17.

Today she sits on many waters and is seeking ecumenical communion with all denominations.

Today the mark of the beast is voluntary. Today, they stress that ashes are voluntary on ash wednesday for this reason. To deceive the world. Make no mistake they are imposed with right hand on forehead. The truth is that the mark of the beast was forced upon the world in the middle ages, and Rev 13:15-17 was already fulfilled.
Why do you make up or propagate these lies about the Catholic Church?

Constantine never made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire.

Rome doesn't meet the scriptural requirements of the harlot anyway. That idea is based upon nothing but the Protestant/Catholic feud and is a product of hate. Christian cults like 7th Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses teach it - why should anyone I listen to such deceived churches?
This fable of the centricity of the Western world in biblical prophecy is a distraction from the real beast empire which was & will be rising from the East. Just as is consistent with all of scripture.

Jews don't believe God is Trinity. Does that mean they don't worship the one true God?
Is there another true God that is not trinity

Are There 2 true God
1. Non trinity true God

2. Trinity true God

One can worship the one true God without understanding all of the characteristics of God.

I don't know about you, but I believe what Jesus say about jews
John 5
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

Jesus say to this jews group, they don't believe what Moses wrote > don't believe torah> mean don't believe the real author of torah/true God

So because Jesus never Lie, I believe this group of jews that don't believe in Jesus, don't believe true God

I agree with you oN this part brother

Ccc 841

841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."

I think we agree true God is trinity don't you

Muslim....together with us adore the one merciful God

Mean muslim worship trinity God

I am from muslim country, I know muslim hate trinity God. Please read quran

Chapter (17) sūrat l-isrā (The Night Journey)

Sahih International: And say, "Praise to Allah , who has not taken a son and has had no partner in [His] dominion and has no [need of a] protector out of weakness; and glorify Him with [great] glorification."

  • Allah has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to overcome others. Exalted is Allah above what they describe [concerning Him].
    — Quran, surah 23 (Al-Mumenoon), ayat 91[7]
  • Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him.
    — Quran, surah 112 (Al-Ikhlas), ayat 1-4[8]

Does this link work for you?

Or is this better? Search for the word "Roman" ;)
thanks!
I found it in the second link
423 By the heart we believe and by the mouth we confess the one Church, not of heretics but the Holy Roman, Catholic, and Apostolic (Church) outside which we believe that no one is saved.

I remember reading about the Waldensians in a book called "the name of the Rose" by Umberto Eco.

And muslim don't believe It, so catholic is lie
well, Muslims think they are worshipping the true God, who they think is not a trinity.

so again, like you say, we have to calculate the end result, not interprate letter by letter.

I think that to be fair, if one is going to read the scriptures with a loose interpretation, then one would also read everything else with a loose interpretation.

otherwise, I think a person would be using "unequal weights", which the Bible says God doesn't like.
