It's an idol that will look like the fourth beast of Daniel. It has not been created or established yet.

In my opinion, the Little Horn of Daniel 8 was the early Roman empire, beginning with Julius Caesar and Octavian.

The Little Horn of Daniel 7 however seems to match what you are describing. This one I believe is the 'Image of the Beast' which I interpret as the final Antichrist/Man of Sin. It will be man made.
 
I always believed that Daniel 11:29-35 described the Hellenization of Jewish Culture. Verse 31 indicated the Maccabean Revolt when the people rose up and took action. The man of sin, is described beginning in verse 36. But I admit, I could be wrong.

What I present is brand new. There is nothing like it anywhere that I have seen. It's understandable that folks will have an already established set of interpretations. It will take some time for this to be processed by those who research this topic.

What drove me to re-think Daniel 11 is when I discovered that there were shenanigans going on with how the "scholars" established their timelines. Some even admit that something is wrong and that the verses don't match the mainstream interpretations. Because of that, we have the contradictions and confusion we see time and time again whenever this subject comes up.

When I did a thorough re-interpretation of Daniel 11, I discovered is that Antiochus IV Epiphanes actually died at Daniel 11:19 and was never mentioned again.

Daniel 11:20 is about Julius Caesar who is destroyed in a very short time after becoming the next King of the North. The narrative then shifts to Octavian at Daniel 11:21. He would be the final King of the North until he wins over the King of the South, Mark Antony. The Little Horn of Daniel 8:9 takes over from there as a catchall for the Principality that rules over all of the Roman emperors and the empire itself. Octavian was the first. Thus, Daniel's Fourth Kingdom was there all along in Daniel 11.

King Herod is introduced in Daniel 11:23-24. After that, we have the battle of Actium and King Herod making agreements to become 'King of the Jews'. The 'indignation' was the massacre of the innocents.

Daniel 11:32 to 11:37 foretell of the Apostles, Disciples, followers, etc. of Jesus. It is most remarkable what has been there this entire time, yet no one has understood what they were looking at.

Might I point out a few math mistakes?

This is the main reason why I present my information to the public. I seek correction if there is correction to be made.

We do not know when Moses built the tabernacle, nor when God made the covenant with Moses, so we do not know the starting point.

Maybe, maybe not. I get the fact that trying to establish the date of the Exodus is an incredibly daunting task. I have yet to see anyone present a case that does not have some Scriptural issues with it.

I am of the opinion that the Exodus happened roughly 1260 years (give or take a few) before Jesus was born. From what I understand, this is the majority opinion. However, 1st Kings 6:1 for example brings up a dating issue:

1 Kings 6:1 - And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.

The scholars claim that the years are symbolic. I am not smart enough to know if they are right, however I can use Scripture to establish the time of the Exodus using Daniel's and Revelation's 'day' prophecies:

Revelation 12:6 - And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

The 'fleeing into the wilderness', I believe, is the Exodus. The 'place prepared' is the Tabernacle. The 1260 days is actually years which matches Daniels day/year principle.

Thus we have:
  • Tabernacle in the Wilderness to the birth of Jesus: Daniels 1260 days/years
  • Jesus begins his ministry 30 years later: Daniel's 1290 days/years
  • Final Temple is destroyed 45 years later: Daniel's 1335 days/years
The 1260/1290/1335 days are now all interpreted with the utmost simplicity. No mental gymnastics required.

There would need to be two witnesses who are killed and come back to life, so that messes up the middle of the week.

If we stick with the day/year principle of Daniel's seventy weeks, we discover that the Two Witnesses prophecy for 1260 years from Moses to John the Baptist. It fits perfectly. Jesus confirms it:

Luke 16:16 - The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

The Two Witnesses are highly symbolic. They are not two individuals, but many who filled that position over the 1260 years. Don't forget what happened at the Transfiguration:

Matthew 17:2-3 - And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

Elias was then connected with John the Baptist.

Matthew 11:14 - And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.

Boom! There you go. The Two Witnesses/Law and Prophets are right there with Jesus! Obviously, it is not a stretch to connect them with the Revelation prophecies. In fact, the text begs us to do just that. The 3-1/2 days become 3-1/2 years, again using the day/year principle. That takes us to the Crucifixion:

Revelation 11:8 - And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

Their dead bodies appear to lay in a *spiritual* city, not a physical one.

They are risen along with Jesus:

Revelation 11:12- And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

The graves are opened, etc. It all matches perfectly.

...not to mention the evidence that exists independent of human hands changing it..

Putting my tin foil hat on for a moment, I believe there is an agenda to teach Daniel 11 *without* Jesus being the main character. What I present will no doubt throw a monkey wrench into those mainstream false interpretations and will upset a lot of apple carts.
 
“But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judæa flee to the mountains:”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭13:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I would like to take the opportunity to share my beliefs on the above verse.

But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation...: This was the Crucifixion. 'See' means 'to see spiritually ahead of time'.
...spoken of by Daniel the prophet...: This was not a reference to Antiochus IV Epiphanes.
...standing where it ought not...: This is why it was referred to as an 'abomination'. One should not murder their Messiah.
...let him that readeth understand...: As in readeth *AND UNDERSTAND* the Book of Daniel! Who has done this?!?!?
...then let them that be in Judæa flee to the mountains: God gave those who understood several decades to move and flee.

In other words, there is a gap of time in that verse.
  • Moses Builds Tabernacle: Year 0
  • Birth of Jesus: Year 1260
  • Jesus Begins Ministry: Year 1290
  • Destruction of Jerusalem: Year 1335
  • Noah's Flood to Jesus: 2300 years
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:34‬ ‭KJV‬‬
  • This Generation: Tares (not the Pepsi Generation or Gen X or whatever)
  • Pass: Lake of Fire
  • All These Things: From 70 AD to the end of the Times of the Gentiles
  • Fulfilled: Times of the Gentiles ends
Long story short, the Great Tribulation began in 70 AD and continues to this very day. We are not waiting for a 'Seven Year Tribulation' to begin. We are waiting for the Rapture. Wrath comes after, if not simultaneously.

...from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple...

Hey, would you look at that! The above is talking about the blood that Mystery Babylon drank. It was literal all along...

Isaiah 26:21 - For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

Earth is Mystery Babylon. Go figure.
 
See? The Crucifixion comes first, the desolation comes later in 70 AD.

View attachment 295309
I’m not sure of the timeline there but yes the order is what I believe to be correct. Jesus rejection and suffering and death being the abomination leading to desolation . And destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman Empire in ad 70

just my opinion though

I appreciate you sharing your views with me .

Mystery Babylon. Go figure.”

have you ever read much ot prophecy regarding Jerusalem ?

“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: and upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭17:4-6, 16-17 KJV‬‬

Those are all things the ot says about Jerusalem . see the last verse there he’s talking about until the words of God in the ot prophets are fulfilled .

here’s an example This long prophecy starts out Like this regarding Jerusalem telling the story of when God began with her

“Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations, Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.

And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head. Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom. And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭16:1-2, 8, 12-14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

But as it progresses he begins speaking of thier abominations and everything changes and he begins announcing judgements to come upon Jerusalem note the imagery of a beautiful woman made so by God wearing a crown and considered abive all cities . but then later a woman who has diverse colored garments and is refered to as a great whore who spread her abominations about …. Consider the end there where it says what’s going to happen to Jerusalem

“But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was. And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so. And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood. And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD;) that thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street. Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms. Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD: Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;

behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness. And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy. And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare. They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords. And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭16:15-16, 22-25, 35-41‬ ‭KJV‬‬

i woiod recommend reading the entire prophecy but it’s long there are several just like that in the latter prophets depicting Jerusalem often Jerusalem representing all Israel also but often it’s specific to Jerusalem.

My point is the things in the ot were being fulfilled when Jerusalem was besieged and destroyed by rome in ad 70 after its destruction the people were to be scattered to the ends of the earth across the nations as part of the curse that parts still occurring .


gentiles weren’t allowed in the ot …… now the call of God is to all humanity gentiles included with israel that’s all the time of the gentiles means the time the gentiles are allowed to belong to God through Christ Jesus

again this is all my opinion .
 
Hi @tablet123 . Looks like a lot to go over.

69 weeks have already passed with one more week to go.

Yeah, that's a popular opinion.

This is not speaking of Jesus because the 70th week was not fulfilled back then but the prince to come in verse 26 that he confirms the covenant.

Let's take a look...

Daniel 9:26 - And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

I see two interpretations that are often argued:
  1. Prince that shall come = Good Guy
  2. Prince that shall come = Bad Guy
Although I prefer option 1, option 2 still works with my overall interpretation of Daniel's prophecies as well as the entire Bible. If we interpret the 'prince that shall come' as the 'bad guy', then he is simply the Little Horn of Daniel 8 and Sixth Head of the Beast, i.e., the Prince of Rome.

Thus, we have:
In other words, these 'princes' are the Principalities governing over each phase of the visions.

The overall interpretation would be that the "people belonging to the Early Roman Empire" will destroy Jerusalem and Herod's Temple in 70 AD. That works perfectly.

If we interpret the 'prince that shall come' as Jesus, the overall result is the same. The "people living during the times of Jesus" will destroy Jerusalem and Herod's Temple in 70 AD. That also works perfectly.

Next verse:

Daniel 9:27 - And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: 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.
  • He shall confirm the Covenant = Jesus confirming the New Covenant
  • Sacrifice and oblation to cease = The Crucifixion made the daily sacrifice obsolete (as prophesied many times)
  • Overspreading of abominations = The Crucifixion was the Abomination of Desolation
  • He shall make it desolate = The Crucifixion was the last straw that caused God to destroy Jerusalem in 70 AD
  • Even until the consummation = Jesus made it clear that Jerusalem will become desolate because they rejected him
  • Reference Verses: Daniel 8:11, Daniel 8:12, Daniel 8:13, Daniel 11:31, Daniel 12:11
The prince to come will be from the Roman Empire which the Roman Empire does not lose their dominion until Jesus puts down the world.

That still fits what I believe.

Which 10 horns come from them which is the world divided in to 10 sections with a leader in each section as they go by a false interpretation of the Bible(1 Timothy 4:1-2; 2 Timothy 4:4).

In my humble opinion, the Ten Kings are fallen angels. They are the Sons of God that will mingle themselves with the seed of men:

Daniel 2:43 - 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.


This is in reference to the 'days of Noe' that we are warned of:

Matthew 24:37 - But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

The Mark of the Beast ties into all of this as Transhumanism.

Which they shall devour the whole earth, break it in pieces, and tread upon it.

Yeah, alien invasions are absolutely terrifying to think about.

Which when the antichrist starts working in the world he will push the agenda of the false interpretation of the Bible all religions interpreted the same way which he will gain power over all nations, kindreds, and tongues.

That is when the prince to come will appear at the time the 70th week will be fulfilled.

I believe that the Litte Horn of Daniel 8 is past, but the Little Horn of Daniel 7 is still future. He is the final manmade Antichrist. There are plenty of prophecies already to cover it. I feel like trying to shoehorn that into Daniel 9:26 is unproductive.

Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

Israel is blinded in part until salvation is no longer available to the Gentiles and so all Israel shall be saved.

The Great Tribulation that began in 70 AD, ends when the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

God will bring the whole house of Israel all 12 tribes back to Israel and they will not be left in the nations anymore.

And they will know the LORD God from that day forward and He will never hide His face from them again which they will always be in the truth.

I see those verses as New Jerusalem language.

Daniel 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

Here is my newly published Daniel 11 verse-by-verse commentary:


My interpretation of Daniel 11:31:

6YiIKPt.png


36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

My interpretation of Daniel 11:36:

lsQzn1r.png

6UhJzBg.png


37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

My interpretation of Daniel 11:37:

jmTETtg.png


2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

The abomination of desolation happens in the future when the man of sin, prince to come, steps in to the Jews temple and claims to be God and deceives the world.

Yeah, the problem I have with that is assuming that any kind of temple built by human hands is going to be considered holy by God. It contradicts so much Scripture.

And why would God care if some joker sits in some temple claiming to be God. It seems so petty and childish of God to get that triggered by a wannabe nobody.

On the other hand, if mankind learns the secrets of giving life to the Image of the Beast, now God has a real problem that he has to deal with. Only God has the authority to create life from scratch. This is the line that will be crossed. Fallen Angels is a major key to all of this I believe. They have the secrets of implanting themselves into the daughters of men to create hybrids.
 
In my opinion, the Little Horn of Daniel 8 was the early Roman empire, beginning with Julius Caesar and Octavian.

The Little Horn of Daniel 7 however seems to match what you are describing. This one I believe is the 'Image of the Beast' which I interpret as the final Antichrist/Man of Sin. It will be man made.

Your opinion is wrong because the Little Horn is a person not a kingdom. The Little Horn is the same person as Antichrist, the Man of Sin, the Beast of the Earth. The image of the Beast is the idol made in the image of the beast that represents the kingdom, the fourth beast of Daniel, the Beast of the Sea in Revelation, this is the spirit of their kingdom. It is explicitly stated that the idol that Little Horn makes will look like the Beast of the Sea, this idol is the abomination of desolation.

It's good chatting with you friend.

Mystery Babylon. Go figure.”

have you ever read much ot prophecy regarding Jerusalem ?

Tons. I have done an extensive deep dive over many years. What I have found is quite disturbing actually.

“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: and upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

This woman existed before Adam and Eve. Very few are aware that the golden cup she holds is the Forbidden Fruit. The 'harlots and abominations' has to do with genetic corruption of all life on the planet. The contents are symbolic of sperm and ovum, i.e., the zygote we were all conceived into. We inherited death because of it.

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:...

If this woman drinks the blood of the saints, and all who were slain, then according to what we are being taught here, she must have drank the blood of the very first person ever to be slain. If we had a time machine, we could see who that was and catch her red handed, then we would know for sure. OR... we can see what the Word of God has to say about it:

Genesis 4:11 - And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;

There it is. Earth was the one to drink the blood of Abel. This was long before Israel or the Papacy or "false religions" even existed. Thus, we can cancel all of those out. The Word of God does not contradict itself.

Ah, but wait... Jesus said something that you brought up previously:

Matthew 23:35 - That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

Did you catch that? Earth drank the blood of Abel, BUT that blood went somewhere after she drank it! It went to Jerusalem. That is the biggest key to unraveling this whole mystery. I have yet to see anyone make this connection, yet it is crucial to understanding who Mystery Babylon is and how she operates.
  • Earth drinks the blood of all who are slain
  • Said blood is symbolically placed onto Jerusalem
Why? The answer is the disturbing part.

...and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

You are wise to use the KJV. Yes, admiration is another key:

ADMIRA'TION, n. Wonder mingled with pleasing emotions, as approbation, esteem, love or veneration;

These are the feelings one feels about their mother.

...And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,...

I believe these are fallen angels which the government is beginning to call 'interdimensional beings' (which they are technically).

...these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭17:4-6, 16-17 KJV‬‬

Whatever these entities are that are coming, one thing is for sure. They are going to destroy this planet. God put it in their hearts to do this.

Those are all things the ot says about Jerusalem.

This is where most have not connected all of the dots. Jerusalem is only part of the equation. Just like Jesus is not simply a lamb or a rock. One needs to understand how to put the Lamb and the Rock and the Living Waters, etc. into their respective places in the grand scheme of things. Same with Mystery Babylon. She is not just a Great City, she is an actual mother. Mothers have a uterus.

Here is the key: While earth is symbolic of the mother, Jerusalem is symbolic of the womb of the mother:

Galatians 4:24 - Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
  • Earthly Jerusalem is the womb that gendereth to bondage. She is allegorical of womb of Hagar and the OT.
  • Heavenly Jerusalem is the womb that gendereth to freedom. She is allegorical of womb of Sarah and the NT.
We are all symbolically born of Hagar. Remember, we are curiously wrought in the heart of the EARTH:

Psalms 139:15 - My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

To 'come out of her' is to go to the New Heavens and New Earth and be born all over again from Sarah's ground.

So, why does the blood go to the earth? What is in the earth?
  • Abraham's Bosom
  • Gehenna
The slain go to one of those two places in the 'heart of the earth'.

...thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom. And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.”

And guess what? She is redeemed in the end. She becomes New Jerusalem. She is 'cleaned up' and made into the Bride of the Lamb:

Revelation 19:7-9 - Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

God is love.

Note that the Lamb is Abraham's Seed. Seed goes into the womb. Get it? New Earth is symbolic of Sarah. New Jerusalem is symbolic of her womb. Abraham is symbolic of the Father. We must be born again... literally. It's a process. Again, all of the puzzle pieces need to be put together.

But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot..

Again, this goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden and the Forbidden Fruit. She is the mother of the corrupt genetics of all life on the planet. The golden cup contains Death that all have made a covenant with. Eve was called the 'mother of all living'. Not everyone can handle the Meat of the Word.

Jeremiah 51:7 - Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD’S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.

All means all. All of us have partaken to be born into this world of corruptible flesh. These verses are not 'poetry':

Revelation 2:21-23 - And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

'Her children' are the human race, not 'false religions' or whatever watered down nonsense the false teachers preach. Again, Scripture teaches that we are born of Hagar and are in bondage until we are born again of Sarah. Thankfully, the redeemed are not going to be killed with the Second Death. We are extremely fortunate we have a Savior. These are sobering truths.

i woiod recommend reading the entire prophecy but it’s long there are several just like that in the latter prophets depicting Jerusalem often Jerusalem representing all Israel also but often it’s specific to Jerusalem.

Trust me, I get it and I appreciate you taking the time to contribute those powerful verses.

If this woman drinks the blood of the saints, and all who were slain, then according to what we are being taught here, she must have drank the blood of the very first person ever to be slain. If we had a time machine, we could see who that was and catch her red handed, then we would know for sure. OR... we can see what the Word of God has to say about it:

Genesis 4:11 - And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;

There it is. Earth was the one to drink the blood of Abel. This was long before Israel or the Papacy or "false religions" even existed. Thus, we can cancel all of those out. The Word of God does not contradict itself.

Ah, but wait... Jesus said something that you brought up previously:

Matthew 23:35 - That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

Did you catch that? Earth drank the blood of Abel, BUT that blood went somewhere after she drank it! It went to Jerusalem. That is the biggest key to unraveling this whole mystery. I have yet to see anyone make this connection, yet it is crucial to understanding who Mystery Babylon is and how she operates.
  • Earth drinks the blood of all who are slain
  • Said blood is symbolically placed onto Jerusalem
Why? The answer is the disturbing part.



You are wise to use the KJV. Yes, admiration is another key:

ADMIRA'TION, n. Wonder mingled with pleasing emotions, as approbation, esteem, love or veneration;

These are the feelings one feels about their mother.



I believe these are fallen angels which the government is beginning to call 'interdimensional beings' (which they are technically).



Whatever these entities are that are coming, one thing is for sure. They are going to destroy this planet. God put it in their hearts to do this.



This is where most have not connected all of the dots. Jerusalem is only part of the equation. Just like Jesus is not simply a lamb or a rock. One needs to understand how to put the Lamb and the Rock and the Living Waters, etc. into their respective places in the grand scheme of things. Same with Mystery Babylon. She is not just a Great City, she is an actual mother. Mothers have a uterus.

Here is the key: While earth is symbolic of the mother, Jerusalem is symbolic of the womb of the mother:

Galatians 4:24 - Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
  • Earthly Jerusalem is the womb that gendereth to bondage. She is allegorical of womb of Hagar and the OT.
  • Heavenly Jerusalem is the womb that gendereth to freedom. She is allegorical of womb of Sarah and the NT.
We are all symbolically born of Hagar. Remember, we are curiously wrought in the heart of the EARTH:

Psalms 139:15 - My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

To 'come out of her' is to go to the New Heavens and New Earth and be born all over again from Sarah's ground.

So, why does the blood go to the earth? What is in the earth?
  • Abraham's Bosom
  • Gehenna
The slain go to one of those two places in the 'heart of the earth'.



And guess what? She is redeemed in the end. She becomes New Jerusalem. She is 'cleaned up' and made into the Bride of the Lamb:

Revelation 19:7-9 - Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

God is love.

Note that the Lamb is Abraham's Seed. Seed goes into the womb. Get it? New Earth is symbolic of Sarah. New Jerusalem is symbolic of her womb. Abraham is symbolic of the Father. We must be born again... literally. It's a process. Again, all of the puzzle pieces need to be put together.



Again, this goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden and the Forbidden Fruit. She is the mother of the corrupt genetics of all life on the planet. The golden cup contains Death that all have made a covenant with. Eve was called the 'mother of all living'. Not everyone can handle the Meat of the Word.

Jeremiah 51:7 - Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD’S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.

All means all. All of us have partaken to be born into this world of corruptible flesh. These verses are not 'poetry':

Revelation 2:21-23 - And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

'Her children' are the human race, not 'false religions' or whatever watered down nonsense the false teachers preach. Again, Scripture teaches that we are born of Hagar and are in bondage until we are born again of Sarah. Thankfully, the redeemed are not going to be killed with the Second Death. We are extremely fortunate we have a Savior. These are sobering truths.



Trust me, I get it and I appreciate you taking the time to contribute those powerful verses.

Thanks for the reply and a lot of info to consider thanks again for sharing
 
Your opinion is wrong because the Little Horn is a person not a kingdom. The Little Horn is the same person as Antichrist, the Man of Sin, the Beast of the Earth. The image of the Beast is the idol made in the image of the beast that represents the kingdom, the fourth beast of Daniel, the Beast of the Sea in Revelation, this is the spirit of their kingdom. It is explicitly stated that the idol that Little Horn makes will look like the Beast of the Sea, this idol is the abomination of desolation.
The little horn who sprouts up in Daniel among the ten is the eighth king in revelation who rules the ten
 
The little horn who sprouts up in Daniel among the ten is the eighth king in revelation who rules the ten

Right. He is the final king of the North in the sequence of their kingdom recorded in Daniel 11, and he is the one that in that chapter also creates the abomination of desolation. It is an idol. Revelation 13 then colors in the end times more and makes this certain in great detail.
 
A King is a leader/ruler of a Kingdom and is actually a person.

There has been nuclear testing in the Pacific Ocean. Yes bombs have gone off there and caused much desolation. Ask anyone in the Navy or people living on the islands near.
They now suffer from the fallout, and the oceans are poisoned esp from all that plastic garbage rich developed countries keep spewing into the sea.
 
In the Bible most every leader of a nation/country is designated a King, and a country is a kingdom

Now they can be an Emperor, Chief, CEO, tycoon, Pasha, Tsar, Sultan, Mughal, Pharoah, Empress, Queen, President, Prime Minister, Governor General, Lord or landlord, etc. They just need to have some kind of ruling power over an area.
 
The power these rulers have is the strength of their armies. Nowadays the armies/navies/airforce all have various weapons at their disposal. That cause mass destruction i.e abomination of desolation

Its no longer hand to hand combat. It's bombs and guns, and tear gas, and missiles.
 
As was already said, Daniel 11:31 predicts the Maccabean revolt. But Daniel 9:27 predicts the crucifixion of Jesus and the Jewish/Roman wars of 68-70 AD.

Jesus was the one who confirmed the Covenant for one week. He personally confirmed the covenant for 3-1/2 years until his crucifixion. Then his Apostles confirmed the covenant for the next 3-1/2 years.

This is why it says that in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease. He did this literally when the curtain was torn from top to bottom. He also did this metaphorically because after the Death, Burial, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus Christ, the animal sacrifices were no longer necessary. He is our high priest now.

Daniel says that "on the wing of abominations he shall make desolate." What does that mean? In the Hebrew idiom, a "wing" was a fixed boundary, an edge, or a corner. Daniel is saying that when Israel's abominations reach their absolute limit, God will act. And he did. Putting an innocent man to death for political reasons is the epitome of evil and God responded by bringing the Roman Army against Jerusalem to destroy it and the temple.
Agreed. Daniels prophecy is definitely a re-occuring one. Daniels specific prophecy was concerning the destruction of the Second Temple. It happened once, and then Jesus repeats the warning because of what was going to happen at the time of the end (Pray your flight will not be in winter or it will be worse than any time before history.) So essentially, prophecy happened (Daniel) and then it repeats (Tribulation).

But the abomination that caused desolation wasn't due to the army (like most people think). That was the result of the abomination already. Before the temple was destroyed in 70 AD, we already know why it was due to be destroyed.

When Yeshua had come closer and could see the city, he wept over it, saying, “If you only knew today what is needed for shalom! But for now it is hidden from your sight. For the days are coming upon you when your enemies will set up a barricade around you, encircle you, hem you in on every side, and dash you to the ground, you and your children within your walls, leaving not one stone standing on another — and all because you did not recognize your opportunity when God offered it!”

Then Yeshua entered the Temple grounds and began driving out those doing business there, saying to them, “The Tanakh says, My House is to be a house of prayer, but you have made it into a den of robbers!” Luke 19:41-45
There's your abomination that caused desolation (among other grievances that were said before this). What they did to the Temple that caused the 70AD destruction. So Jesus's warning about the time of the end, if you see an abomination in the temple, FLEE. What was the reason for the 1st temple destruction? People were worshiping other gods inside the temple and brought in idols (Ezekiel 8). Which absolutely in its own right, would have been an abomination.

So essentially, Israel is going to do something with their re-constructed Temple, that will be an abomination. And because of that, the AC and his army will come and attack.
 
tanks and landmines...

You think people in war-torn countries do not know this? They already living in a kind of hell.

Why quibble over what it will be when we ALREADY KNOW what it is.
