Subject: The United Stated in the Bible |
Bible Note: Hello Allen, Here is an interesting passage for your consideration, as well as other members. Daniel's dream of four beasts. (7:3-7) The first, as I have heard from one interpretation, is the lion, national symbol of Britain. ( This was during a recent time of Bush and Blair's newsworthy alliance.) The wings of an eagle were said to be from the national bird of the U.S. The bear, was said to be Russia, and the leopard was left undescribed, which I later presumed to be Africa. Again, this is for consideration, I am not trying to draw any parallels that were not meant to be there. Here is the passage: Dan 7:3) "And four great beasts were coming up from the sea, different from one another. Dan 7:4) "The first was like a lion and had the wings of an eagle. I kept looking until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man; a human mind also was given to it. Dan 7:5) "And behold, another beast, a second one, resembling a bear. And it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and thus they said to it, 'Arise, devour much meat!' Dan 7:6) "After this I kept looking, and behold, another one, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird; the beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it. Dan 7:7) "After this I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrifying and extremely strong; and it had large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. blessings, keliy |
