see you/them who we are all following(the commentators),,,,,,,,who????,,who care's,,,,,,,,, i just want to know,,,,,,,,,some how were putting some of this together and missing a "small part",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,look at what were saying if we follow the "the known theology",,,,,,,,,,,,five are one is ect,,,,,,,,and one is yet to come,,,,,, now research the maps of the kingdoms of these empires,,,and dont forget "solomens empire",,,,,,,,,it was from the Euphrates to the nile in Egypt, "count the number of the beast",,,,,,,,,how many were their???,,,"even he is the eight,,,,and is of the seven",,,, now in ad 96 when this was written ,,,,,,,,,,,,,Egypt,Assyria Greece,Rome, Babylon and m-Persia were all still kingdoms in the world,,,,,,,,,with kings and kingdoms "five are fallen one is,Rome",,,,,,,,,so from what the theologians say,,,and most men copy and paste,,,,,,,,,in ad 96 Rome is accounted for "one is" five are fallen,,,,,,,egypt,persia,asseria,greece and Babylon( all ruled and are still in world but don't rule it),now the problem to this is "the beast that was and was not yet is,,,even he is the eight and is of the seven",,,,,and the only one of the kingdoms that was, but did not exist as an kingdom in ad 96 was Israel,,,,,,,it was completely overthrown and every stone was removed and all of its people were scattered into the other kingdoms in ad 70.,,,,,,now if is rial did not exist in the year ad 96,,,the common thinking is stating "it was and in ad96 was not(overthrown at that time/removed completely),,,yet will ascend out of the bottomless pit(come back) 1948,,,,,,,,,,this is a serious accusation being made by the people saying these are the kingdoms that ruled,,,and only leaving out "Israel" they are by fact saying that the carnal Israel was done away with and god was going to set up another spiritual israel but mankind came along in 1948 and (they thought they knew,,,and set up and image of the beast) that was and was not yet is,,,,,but hey maby you are all "right",,,maybe that's why john marveled with great admiration(he saw Israel being set back up) and marveled,,,,but you have to stop and remember,he was stopped and the mystery was shown to him ,,,,,but it ends with "whose names are not written in the book of life" so we should look at what is being handed down by the books of the commentators,,,, they've narrowed it down to the beast that was and was not yet is as being the kingdom that was destroyed in ad 70 and that did not exist in ad 96 ,,,,,,,,,,,,"Israel",,,,,,,,,?????????????????????
