Egypt and parts of the Middle East came under the rule of Ptolemy, Seleucus controlled Syria and the remnants of the Persian Empire, while Macedonia, Thrace, and parts of northern Asia Minor came under the hegemony of Antigonus and his son Demetrius. H. H. Rowley has done a very thorough study of the history ofinterpretation of this passage. It is diverse from the three previous beasts which were the kingdoms of Babylon, Medo Persia, and Greece. While there are differences in the ten divisions, all three agree upon the peoples who are in the countries of Great Britain (Saxons and Britons), Spain (Suevians, Vandals, and Alans), and France (Visigoths). Daniel was told that this fourth kingdom would “devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces”. Daniel 7:3 “And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other.” Nebuchadnezzar's Babylonian kingdom is identified as the "head of gold," to be followed by an "inferior kingdom," represented by the chest and arms of silver. The United States of America has had a greater impact on the world than any other nation in history. The Roman Empire exhibited at least some of the characteristics that Daniel described. (.

This late-19th century map in Latin shows the four main kingdoms that emerged after the battle. No army from without was able to conquer Rome until it had been weakened from within. In Daniel 11:21, it gets interesting, as the character Antiochus Epiphanes is discussed. Depending on the context of the passage, the word “beast” can either refer to a kingdom, or its king, which in this case, would be “antichrist”. Consider these prophecies from Daniel: I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. The Heart of God in the Midst of Judgment, The Gospel Proclaimed to All People Groups, Destroy the Beast’s or Antichrist’s Kingdom, The Four Beasts or Kingdoms from the Book of Daniel, divided among his generals into four main kingdoms, a quarter of the world’s population lived under Roman law, “India, Burma, and Hawaii, then eventually by 1900 to the Middle East, Africa, and to China, Japan, and Korea in the Far East”.

Daniel tells us that ten kings, or kingdoms, shall come “out of this kingdom”. So the fourth kingdom, or beast, has a long active life of about 2000 years – from the time of the Roman empire until the second coming of Jesus Christ.

This is one of the general characteristics of the fourth beast that Daniel mentions in Daniel 7:23. The first was given to Seleucus (Asia), the second to Ptolemy (Egypt), the third to Lysimachus (Thrace), and the fourth to Antipater’s son Cassander (Macedonia, including Greece).

What were the philosophical ideas that came out of ancient Greece? The prophet Daniel records several visions describing four beasts or kingdoms that would rise to power. The secret societies that Hall and Morningstar refer to have had a significant influence on the United States, prior to its being established, and since then. Daniel 11:21-35 then detail the reign of Antiochus and his desecration of the Jewish Temple with the Abomination of Desolation in Daniel 11:31. In his book, “The Secret Destiny of America”, Manly P. Hall wrote: “One of the most ancient of man’s constructive ideals is the dream of a universal democracy and a cooperation of all nations in a commonwealth of States. As a result, American Christian missionaries went to “India, Burma, and Hawaii, then eventually by 1900 to the Middle East, Africa, and to China, Japan, and Korea in the Far East”. Thus, the Roman empire would be divided into ten kingdoms with a king over each kingdom. It has the distinction of being the largest empire in history which is why it is stated that “the sun never set on the English empire”. God revealed to Daniel that the first kingdom (Daniel 7:4) is Babylon which starts under King Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 2:38). Young has condensed the argument for the Roman view[3] to two basic points: The real reason why the Roman view came to the ascendancy in NewTestament times is due to 2 facts: 1) Our Lord identified Himself as the Son of Man, the heavenlyfigure of Daniel 7, and connected the "abo… Greek Mythology >> Kingdoms KINGDOMS. That horn speaks great things and makes war against the saints. Thus, in the Bible, at any given time, the king of Asia is typically referred to as the king of north and the king of Egypt is typically referred to as the king of the south. Jesus said that Jerusalem would be “trodden down of the Gentiles” during the second half of the 70th week of years. The countries that came out of the Roman empire, especially Spain, France, England have a history of colonization and imperialism. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. Eventually Macedonia and Thrace were joined, resulting in the emergence of three strong kingdoms, Macedonia, Syria, and Egypt. It will continue this trend and intensify until Antichrist potentially rules over the entire world. The angel, Gabriel revealed to Daniel that the third kingdom (Daniel 2:39, 7:6) is Greece (Daniel 8:21). Others, with a different motive, have had a more subtle influence in the beginning, but are having a more profound influence as time goes on. Cassander ruled over Macedonia and Greece itself.

The kingdom of Cassander (circa 358–297 BC), consisted of Macedonia, most of Greece, and parts of Thrace. Chapters two and seven make up the first set which describes the complete history from Babylon to the close of time and consists of four human kingdoms, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome; an intermediary period before the final, everlasting kingdom. Bacon, who many historians consider to be the true father of modern democracy and founder of America, was an avid student of Ancient Wisdom, joining many secret societies during his life. (Daniel 7:23). Consistent with Daniel’s vision of the statue’s two legs in Daniel 2, at one point the Roman Empire split into two sections – the east whose capital was Constantinople, and the West whose capital was Rome. The US “cannot escape, and indeed should welcome the task which history has imposed on us. Only in the twentieth century does an independent Greek kingdom rise out of two millennia of Turkic occupation or Romanised empire. After a series of wars, Rome destroyed Corinth in 146 BC and Greece became part of “their expanding empire“. ), we find that Babylon is viewed as a Mountain-Kingdom, Greece has split into 4 Head-Kingdoms, Rome has ten kings coming out of a Head-Kingdom, and the whole lineup is followed by … The British Empire also began in the 1500s and reached it peak in the early 20th century. During the Bronze Age a number of entities were formed in Mycenean Greece (1600-1100 BC), each of them was ruled by a Wanax, the most important were: E. J. It will continue this trend and intensify until Antichrist potentially rules over the entire world. The first three kingdoms and the first phase of the fourth kingdom are all past. Amongst its achievements is the spread of Christianity to Eastern Europe and the Slavs, halting the Persian, Slavic and Arab expansions towards Europe and preserving a vast amount of the cultural heritage of Greek-Roman Antiquity. Through carefully appointed representatives, the machinery of democracy was set up at least a hundred years before the period of the Revolutionary War.”, “Any account of secret societies in America would have to include tribute to the man who has been called the ‘First American Gentleman’–Benjamin Franklin.” “Franklin spoke for the Order of the Quest, and most of the men who worked with him in the early days of the American Revolution were also members. When the eastern empire was defeated, it was not divided, but taken over by the Ottoman Turks. Revelation 16:10 speaks of the beast and his kingdom.

After a series of battles, Alexander the Great defeated the Persian armies, thus fulfilling the prophecy given to Daniel. This map shows the extent of the Persian Empire at its peak around 500 BC. Several smaller kingdoms were established at various times, in Hellenistic Greece. Alexander the Great, quickly and powerfully conquered the Persians in a brilliant series of battles, and Greece became the masters of the Oriental World. Political rule was therefore divided until the Roman Empire arose to provide a new unifying political factor. Based on maps, it is interesting to note that at one time or another, almost all the countries of the world have come under the control of France, Spain, and England. It was a period of political, philosophical, artistic, and scientific achievements that formed a legacy with unparalleled influence on Western civilization. The four kingdoms Historical background. 22 The four horns that replaced the broken one represent four kingdoms that will rise from that nation, but will not have the same power. Many factors contributed to the fall of the Roman empire over a long period of time. This brought in the time of the prophesy to be ready for the birth of Christ, and His crucifixion (cutting off) in that 490 year time given to Daniel.

"The metals of declining value represent four kingdoms, easily identified as Babylon (Nebuchadnezzar), Media (Darius the Mede), Persia (Cyrus of Persia), and Greece (the 'prince of Greece' in 10:20)." Similarly, colonialism is defined as “control by one country over another area and its people”. The Roman empire divided and history reveals that some of those kingdoms continued to exhibit some of the characteristics that Daniel described. While there are differences in the ten divisions, all three agree upon the peoples who are in the countries of Great Britain (Saxons and Britons), Spain (Suevians, Vandals, and Alans), and France (Visigoths). Consider a couple more excerpts from Hall’s book, “The Secret Destiny of America”: “Bacon’s secret society was set up in America before the middle of the 17th Century. At its peak in the 1700s, it became the largest empire in the world. . The mechanism for the accomplishment of this ideal was set in motion in the ancient temples of Greece, Egypt, and India.

It is dreadful, exc… This tells us that the first kingdom was replaced by 4 kingdoms, so this indicates that when horns come up after other horns, the second set of horns represents kingdoms that occur after the kingdom represented by the first set of horns. By this point in time, Antichrist will become very powerful. The French Colonial Empire started in the 1500s and lasted until around 1960. The Attalid dynasty (/ˈætəlᵻd/; Greek: Δυναστεία των Ατταλιδών) was a Hellenistic dynasty that ruled the city of Pergamon after the death of Lysimachus, a general of Alexander the Great.

Daniel states that the ten horns are ten kings. Much like the parable of the wheat and tares that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 13, there are those who sowed Godly seeds and others who sowed ungodly seeds into the establishment of the United States. The Spanish Empire spanned the 1500s through the 1800s. Beginning the early parts of the 4th century, the emperors at Rome were already aware of the increasing weakness of the Western Roman Empire.

In the book of Daniel we are given many characteristics of the fourth beast. Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. Ancient Greece was conquered piecemeal by the Roman republic in the last two centuries BC, with Macedonia arguably being the last major power to be defeated.
