Bible Note: EdB, As always I appreciate your speedy response. I must admit I have enjoyed discussing this with you. Sadly, I feel I should bail on this topic for now. The reason is that I don't think I can do it justice, and anything I say from this point on would be repetitive. Graduate school keeps me very busy, and I don't have time to research enough. However, stay on your guard, because when I have more free time, I will probably be eager to pick up right where we left off. :-) On a different note, when I decide how to phrase it, I'm going to post a question. So this is a special invitation for you to join the discussion. Finally, I will summarize my argument one final time and offer you a chance to respond. As I'm casually reading through Daniel 2, it seems obvious that the 1st empire is Babylon. In my never-be-humble opinion, "head" is used anatomically, not as a reference to the head of Babylon. The 2nd nation must be inferior, and I see it as a military inferiority. The last nation was divided, which clearly Greece was. Lastly, if Rome is truly one of the nations in this vision, why is it the only one never named throughout the book? I'll let you have the last word. ateo |
