You said, "Every part of Scripture meant something to the original audience." There are examples of interpetation, like Daniel 8. But, in the previous chapter, the four beasts were not explained. Daniel was wondering about the 10 horns. Dis it mean something to him ... or his readers until the Roman Empire was divided into 10 sections? Steve |

See my other response to this. I believe that prophacy is valid, and often is not fulfilled until centuries after when it is given. But two things are different between ancient nations and the US. First, the ancient nations fit with Biblical narrative, not to mention the prophacy itself, much better than the US. Also, the Israelites knew where these ancient nations were. Would they have understood completely? Not until the prophacy came to pass. But they would not have been totally mystified, as they would have if the passage refers to the US. | ||||||
