THE BEAST PT 11: I'm not alone in believing the little horn that uproots the 3 big horns in Daniel 7 prophecy was connected to the rise of the Papacy. It turns out that this was a very common belief amongst the protestant church in the 4th and 5th centuries, spanning all the way until the 18th century. In other words, before the 1800's protestant Christian believed Revelation was already fulfilled for the most part, and that Daniel 7 and Revelation 17 as it pertained to the 10 horns and 10 mountains, referred to the Papacy in Western Rome. Yes there were still emperors, but by the time of the 4th century, Rome was divided. The empire was fractured, and Emperors were phasing out. Now the Catholics were taking over, and they were dominating everything, trying to take new territory. It wasn't until the Rothschilds arose to power that Revelation and Daniel prophecies got converted into futurist applications. That's a long sidebar that I'll have to leave alone for now. I said there were 10 kingdoms, right? I named them, said they were against Christians. Well 3 of them were not. They were the Heruli, the Vandals and the Ostrogoths. These 3 kingdoms were Arian Christians that resisted the rise of the Catholics authority and power. In 493 AD Emperor Zeno of Rome under the Papacy wiped them out. In 533 AD the Vandals were wiped out by Emperor Justinian. And in 538 the Ostrogoths when Emperor Justinian gave the power of the last western Rome tribe to the Bishop of Rome. 3 horns, uprooted by the one...the Papacy. In 538 AD began the power of the Papacy and it went on until 1798 AD when French General Louis Alexandre Berthier captured Pope Pius VI. The historcists believed back then that this fulfilled the prophecy spoken of by John in Revelation 13:3, where the beast suffered a mortal wound. The reality is Revelation is not always in a straight line. That's why it's never been understood. John was caught up in several visions and several different times. It was not all in the same vision. We study it as if it's one linear visitation because we like stories. But it was different prophecies, for different times, jumping from future to past without respect of your ability to follow along. The Papacy obviously came back. If the "mortal wound" to the head of the beast is the papacy falling in 1798 AD, then it's revival is definitely what we are seeing now. Imagine that. The papacy fell in 1798 AD. And a few years later in the 1800's, this books of prophecy magically got reinterpreted to hide the fact that most of this had already happened. Why? Because if they did not do this, we would never know the demonic history of the Papacy. But the exposure is coming now. I have more but I will let you all freak out over what I just said for a while before I continue.
