What is the United Nations trying to convey?


And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. - Revelation 13:2

What is the United Nations trying to convey?



Revelation is specific about what this was in history. Its not prophecy.

 
Daniel was about the persecutions to Hellenize the Jews under Antiochus IV Epiphanes.

In the ancient world, this helps explain the four empires represented by four animals in Daniel 7. Since the Bible often refers to demons in beastly terms of wild animals, the imagery also reveals to us the demonic powers at work behind each of the four empires that would rule over God’s people as discipline for their disobedience.

As an interpretive clue, the horn is an ancient symbol for the rule of kings over kingdoms.

Winged Lion – Babylon was the focus of Daniel 1-4 and is here revealed as the first kingdom.

Bear – The imbalanced bear was a prophecy about the joint Medo-Persian Empire in which the Persian side was larger and more dominant. The overtaking of Babylon by this empire was the focus of Daniel 5.

Winged Leopard – This was a prophecy about the future coming of the Greek empire which would conquer the Persian empire and expand beyond it.

This prophecy came true when Alexander the Great, by his early thirties, had conquered the known world with lightning speed, metaphorically running by and flying over his enemies. Alexander died young without an heir, and so his empire was split between four generals as predicted in Daniel’s vision.

Beast – The Roman empire is depicted as a demonic monstrosity of animals & weapons and it came to become the largest and longest standing empire in world history. Jesus Christ was born, tried, and murdered by the Roman empire.

I asked what it is conveying. All you say is it isn't prophecy. Anyway, thank you for the link. Maybe I'll buy a tee shirt.

Did it ever occur to you that there is another beast after the Roman Empire? Why does the prophecy have to include only the empires known back then?

Its a portrayal of the four empires that gave the Jews such fits.

Because Daniel and Revelation are specific not open ended or futuristic.
 
It's obviously some kind of Aztec thing with no connection to Christian symbolic prophecy.

Its about Babylon, the Persian Empire, the Greeks, (Alexander and Antiochus IV) and the Roman Empire..
 
Yep.. and its also a failure as sculpture.. Christians don't have enough education to understand the symbolism.

This, coming from someone who worships the pedophile, murderer, and false prophet Muhammad? Ok, little Ms. Jihad: Tell us all about Revelations.

If you latch on to the Scofield heresy, everything in the Bible gets screwed up.

This has nothing to do with Muhammed or Islam. He was just the messenger to tell the people of the Arabian peninsula to return to the God of Abraham.

If your post was true then according to Revelation Gods kingdom is in full control. The ressurection has occurred and there is no more satan influence--Please look again. Just looking at this world any can see satan is its ruler.
And Gods kingdom promises--No war, No sickness-No starvation, etc,etc,etc--- You are in error. It is however about to be fullfilled--Rev 6 occurred 1914. We are well past Rev 6.

Were you expecting an earthly kingdom?

Revelation is history not prophecy.. Your church was begun in 1870 and it wants you to avoid higher education naturally.

Gods word promises a new earth( that is-Gods kingdom rule in full control) Not a new planet. Gods word assures that at Har-mageddon. True believers( the other sheep=the great crowd) will be brought through on earth Matt 24:22-Prov 2:21-22) Yes the kingdom is established in heaven, now. It comes to the earth with full control post Har-mageddon. Jesus rules for 1000 years, Turning earth into a Paradise( Eden) All inhabitants lovers of God, All motives of them ruled by love, not profit or stature. One human family. And when all is back to perfection-Jesus hands back the kingdom to his God and Father and subjects himself forever( 1Cor 15:24-28)

Few believe facts-- God( ancient of days) appointed Jesus as his king(Daniel 7:13-15) God is king of eternity, if Jesus were God he would have been king allready). God will NEVER be in subjection to anyone.

So no revelation is not history. The words have not been fullfilled yet. Rev 21:1--- Not here yet--satan is still in control of the majority. That is why this system is getting sicker and sicker. Its fully corrupted except for the Few who have found the road leading off into life.
