After reading the first post about the prophet Daniel: https://qr.ae/pvMUyD , We have learned that the age of Daniel's scrolls were in fact written long before the time of Jesus, and some of the prophesies are true according to Bible and documented history.
Let's recap:
We went thru the 4 kingdoms listed inside Daniel;
And then we went thru the 10 generals/kings/horns that came out of Rome.
And we also found out that the little horn that uprooted 3 horns is a Religious horn.
So what happens next?
313 CE: Roman emperor Constantine legalized Christianity, and in 330 moved the Roman capital to Constantinople, leaving the Christian church to be the central authority in Rome.
Is this when church and state mixed and when church finally had authority to do as they wish while using the state's power to exercise authority? The leader of the Roman Catholic Church and successor of Jesus Christ on Earth is the Pope. He governs the church from the Vatican, a small state situated in the heart of Rome. The Pope selects cardinals and bishops to lead the church throughout the world.
In our documented history we do actually see a rise in power of some entity after Rome fell, and this power did in fact claim to be Religious and exercised authority of the state, … in the name of Jesus of course.
Constantine completely altered the relationship between the church and the imperial government, thereby beginning a process that eventually made Christianity the official religion of the empire. Many new converts were won, including those who converted only with the hope of advancing their careers.
The end of papal authority
The French Revolution put an end to the papal power. With the 1848 revolution, Rome became part of the unified Italy, and after the battle of Porta Pia in 1870 (battle led by Pius IX to main his sovereignty over the Papal States) Rome was declared the new capital of Italy.
Early in history, the Roman papacy consolidated its power. It became one of the most influential organizations in the medieval period. This rise to power resulted from the decline in the Western Empire, the leadership of Roman bishops, and special grants that gave the church land holdings. This rise to power caused some positive ramifications, such as the protection of the church from heresy. However, the absolute power of the pope also caused corruption and abuses, many of which would eventually spark the reformation.
However, the absolute power of the pope also caused corruption and abuses, many of which would eventually spark the reformation.
It's no question that the Roman Catholic church came to power and ruled for a long time by the sword. But there are those who love to fight and argue this topic about the church killing in the name of Jesus. You can investigate this matter all you want, So let's move on.
Daniel 7:20-21 KJV And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. (21) I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Daniel 7:21 KJV I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
This little horn made war with God's people?
Remember, the book of Daniel (Whole Bible pretty much) is about God's people, and how God delivers His people back into His arms in heaven while proving to all the saints and heavenly beings (Not just angels since angel also means messengers) why sin is bad and God's law is perfect. So the little horn wars with God's people. But for how long?
Daniel 7:25 KJV And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Time = Year
Times = 2 years
Dividing of time = half year
Num_14:34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
Eze_4:6 And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
When looking into prophecy, we must question the year/days that is said. Obviously Daniel's prophecy didn't fulfill in 2300 days, (that would still be in the lifetime of Daniel) Cause the prophecy also says when Jesus comes. Jesus isn't here yet but according to prophecy He is coming really soon.
So here we see 3 and half years.
3 1/2 years is the same as 1260 days and also 42 months.
So the next question should be: When did this date start?
Justinian upheld the supremacy of the papacy. He permitted through the Council of Orleans actions to be done on Sunday that Constantine prohibited like travel and preparation of food and cleaning the house. In Novellae CXLIV Justinian instituted a Seventh-day Sabbath persecution.
(1) We order all those who follow this law to assume the name of Catholic Christians, and considering others as demented and insane, We order that they shall bear the infamy of heresy; and when the Divine vengeance which they merit has been appeased, they shall afterwards be punished in accordance with Our resentment, which we have acquired from the judgment of Heaven.
Papacy has Authority to do as they wish now that they have the power to persecute any who go against them.
When did Pope lose his powers?
WHEN NAPOLEON CAPTURED THE POPE
Biography
Pope Pius VI (25 December 1717 – 29 August 1799), born Count Giovanni Angelo Braschi, was head of the Roman Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 15 February 1775 to his death in 1799.
(Picture came from: Banner of Truth Ministries http://www.champs-of-truth.com/books/facts.htm )
At this time, French Revolution was starting.
At this time American Revolution was also starting.
Because of the hypocrisy of the Roman Catholic Church telling everyone to follow the Bible and God and all that jazz, the population were getting sick and tired of the Catholic Church. Revolutions are rising and once Pope was taken out, people scattered.
American Revolution, also called United States War of Independence or American Revolutionary War, (1775–83), insurrection by which 13 of Great Britain’s North American colonies won political independence and went on to form the United States of America.
French Revolution, also called Revolution of 1789, revolutionary movement that shook France between 1787 and 1799 and reached its first climax there in 1789—hence the conventional term “Revolution of 1789,”
This is also where Atheism had its first boost and glory.
The Bible predicted Atheism.
America
Etc etc.
These other topics can be considered at another time, but right now just looking at the rise and fall of the Roman Catholic Church's power of authority they once had as prophesied by the prophet Daniel.
Daniel 7:8 KJV I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
… in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
This power, .. How does a power speak? Thru it's actions. Remember, when talking about horns and heads, we are talking about nations/kings/kingdoms, and how does a nation speak? Thru its laws.
Daniel 7:25 KJV And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
speak great words against the most High
and shall wear out the saints of the most High
and think to change times and laws
This is no other nation but the Catholic Church. What other nation or king on Earth has made into law and made God's people a directness? What other nation made God's people the goal of all people to persecute God's people? This is clearly a Religious power.
Also, didn't the Catholic Church also change times and laws?
Sunday Law for example?
Meaning Sunday is not the Sabbath?
Answer:
This is a common misunderstanding. Catholics do not worship on the Sabbath, which according to Jewish law is the last day of the week (Saturday), when God rested from all the work he had done in creation (Gen. 2:2-3). Catholics worship on the Lord’s Day, the first day of the week (Sunday, the eighth day); the day when God said “Let there be light” (Gen. 1:3); the day when Christ rose from the dead; the day when the Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles (Day of Pentecost). The Catechism of the Catholic Church says: “The Church celebrates the day of Christ’s Resurrection on the ‘eighth day,’ Sunday, which is rightly called the Lord’s Day” (CCC 2191).
Where in the Bible does God make another day?
Now remember, I'm not attacking, I'm simply asking questions relating to a certain topic concerning the Bible and what does the Bible say. If you feel like this is a direct attack on Catholics, then plz consider my apologies for this is not what I am after right now, right now I am simply sharing materials from Bible and Website links and showing you what "They" say.
God made 7 days and commanded us to worship on the 7th day.
Catholics command 8th/1st day worship.
Catholics have the power over God?
Catholics have the power to create another day?
Just asking.
Revelation 13:3 “And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.”
Bible says " … and think to change times and laws". Do we not see this right here?
Bible prophesied the change during the 1260 years of Papal Rulership, just as Daniel prophesied the ending of the daily sacrifices in the midst of the last week of the 70 week prophecy. Jesus. But let's continue on another time because this also is a lot of information for some people.
I have not touched on a certain denomination either, for many denominations will talk about this as recorded in history. A lot of protestant reformers have talked about this because the Roman Catholic Church has created a lot of hate during it's 1260 years of reign and persecution towards not only God's people but all people who did not worship like the Catholic Church worships.
Kinda sounds like a Muhammad follower huh?
Touch up:
Little Horn is the Roman Catholic Church.
Little Horn has a set date on how long it'll rule for.
French and American Revolution and Atheism came from the fall of the Papal Power.
Papacy changed times and laws.
All this is inside Daniel while we today use history to prove Daniel right or wrong.
Now I didn't go into much details, just going thru fast (Fast Tracking) to show you what is said and Daniel's prophecy does line up with history and we can trust in this little book written long long ago before Jesus was born, proven by history and by this we can also trust it when it talks about our future.
Yes, Daniel isn't done yet, Daniel does talk about our future which is coming soon. This information is only good for those who have internet, there are many people out there who do not have internet or access to this information. And so when trying to discuss this face-to-face with someone, it's hard to show them link after link when they most likely never even heard of the internet, and so we must learn Daniel as much as we can for the day when our internet will be shut off because Gov't says so. We must know and understand something about Daniel and his prophesies so we can teach others what Daniel has prophesied to those who know nothing about internet and only have if Gov't allows a book.
Also remember, copying the Bible during the Roman Catholic Church reign was forbidden and illegal and you could die for simply owning a Bible.
Rev_11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Just like the Catholic church? Gov't says so?
Not just Catholic Church, but any nation with that much authority.
Sharia Law dominate regions? Gov't says so? Gov't has authority over Quran and Hadiths right?
Gov't can Abrogate the Qurans and Hadiths and you must comply or die.
I'll end this here, for this will be a series as there is a lot of information inside the book of Daniel. This little tiny bit of information is just barely scratching the surface, but to those who do not know, this is a lot of information to consider.
Till Part 3 comes, may God bless all who read this and want to learn more about the Book Of Daniel and want to learn more about Jesus, …
John 20:28 KJV And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
