Bible Note: Hi Emmas: Thanks for the reply. I see you have found by poor sentence structure. I see you have a good grasp of scripture. I see that you are Catholic. I hjope you do not take personal offence to may comments on the early Roman Catholic Church. I see you propose an alternative interpretation to Daniel. I look forward to our discussion. From the research I have done over the past two years it seems quite evident that the persecuting power of Daniel 7:25 is the Roman Catholic Church system. In my research, I have found statements from Catholic Popes, priests and scholars that they take responsibility for the change of the Sabbath from 7th day to 1st day. I have even read statements from Catholics who ridicule the protestants for not reforming the Sabbath since the change came only by their divine change since there is no scriptural evidence in the bible of a change. I believe the 4th beast you quoted is the Roman empire and the persecuting power which has power is the Roman Catholic Church. The power went from the emperors to the Popes. In Daniel 11:6, I believe the king's daughter of he south is Berenice daughter of Ptolemy, King of Egypt. Antiochus Theos, King of Syria put away his wife, Laodice, and her two sons, declaring them to be illegitimate. Antiochus dismissed his wife Laodice, according to the treaty, and went to receive his future bride. Ptolemy carried his daughter to Pelusium, put her on board his fleet, ans sailed with her to Selucia, a sea-port town near the mouth of the River Orantes, in Syri; where, having met Antichos, he delivered his daughter to him with immense dowry, so that Ptolemy received the appellation of "the dowry giver." The peace was ratified. I do not know if this is the same Antichus you were referring to but I thought this might be interesting for you. Look forward to your comments, Merv |
