The evidence has been presented. But since you missed it, I will give it again.

Revelation 17:
9 "And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 "And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 "And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 "These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast."

The beast is the papal beast of Revelation 13 explained further

The heads of the beast represent popes. Of the beast in Rev 13 EGW stated of Pope Pius VI



The wounded head was the pope specified in prophecy. the healed head had to be the pope specified in prophecy. The head is a pope.

Pope Pius VI lost the kingdom in 1798.

Pope Pius XI had the kingdom restored to him in 1929.

The 5 kings that ruled the solo papacy were:
Pius XI & XII, John XXIII, Paul VI, & John-Paul I

The ten horns are the 10 American Presidents that bonded with these popes. the Jesuits brag that they put Truman in office. He called fire down on Japan confirming the identity of the earth-beast in Rev 13. And he had a papal audience in 1950 after leaving office. The remaining 9 Eisenhower through Clinton all had papal audiences while in office. And Clinton is the 10th.

The one pope that is was John-Paul II
when the meaning of the prophecy was made known.

The one that was to rule for a SHORT SPACE was Benedict XVI



Benedict XVI became pope April 2005 (his ascension year) which finished John-Paul II's last year.

Benedict's first year began in March 2006 according to the Babylonian calendar and it had to end prior to March 2013 or it would exceed 7-years (be greater than the number of completeness), which could not be a SHORT SPACE. Thus he resigned in February 2013.

Benedict XVI is the final pope on the papal beast that yield's to the beast with the lamblike horns. Bush II is the President that was in office when the transitional pope was in office. Thus Bush II is the first horn of the earth-beast and Obama is the second.

The papal-beast was allowed ONE HOUR with the ten horns.

Jesus said there are 12 hours in a day

Peter and David say a day with God is 1000-years

1/12 of 1000-years is 83 years 4 months

The papacy was restored to the pope kings in 1929

From the Day of atonement 1929 (14 October 1929) the hour for solo popes goes through 14 February 2013.

When the hour ended February 2013, the solo pope papacy ended. There are now 2-popes Francis I and Benedict XVI the retired.

That may be too much for one sitting. But you can always read my book with all the particulars and Bible texts and Spirit of prophecy quotes, etc.



But will extraordinary evidence be sufficient?



Is that the case with the ten horns? The Bible says they are kings, but some people are not willing to accept evidence, and tried to make the Bible sustain their ideas, instead of changing their ideas to meet the Bible?

Of that you will have to be the judge in your situation.

THAT is not a proven fact, and your interpretation rests on this being the truth. And the evidence does not support this. WE know what the little horn power is, but it is not a single man.

Characteristics: these are not what one claims to be, but what they are. The two-horned power, the US had the actual characteristics stated above, not claimed to have had. In your interpretation, the two horns do not rule at the same time, GWB then BHO. That is not how I read the prophesy.

APL,

I can only tell you how I read it. Every man has to work out his own salvation. When Jesus asks "How readest thou?" He will know if we are reading it by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit or contrary to the Holy Spirit's leading.



The statement was based on the evidence presented earlier:

Daniel 7:24 "And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings."

Daniel 8:20-21 "The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king."

Revelation 17:12 "And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast."

Your conclusion does not see the evidence as I read it:



Thus because you know the identity of the Little Horn Power, that knowledge sets aside a thus saith the Lord. And though you do not know that the Little Horn Power is prophetic history to explain a man that is to arise in the endtime that is wounded and survives. so that partial understanding that is incomplete is somehow more valid than all the other Scriptures combined.

Thus I am reminded of this important counsel:



You further assert:



Pagan Rome and papal Rome are viewed as though they were one even though they were two different powers. Likewise, I view Obama as an extension of GW. But my words are fallible human words to proclaim truth that is to much for me.

AH - BUT - you say it is the BIBLE that I reject when I reject YOUR reading. Which is it?

Do you equate "men" with specific men? The voice had began to speak when she wrote this. Were GWB and BHO speaking back then? I don't think so.

Reading this reminded me of The Esoteric Tale of Humpty Dumpty.

Here's the testimony of one viewer of the video (there are many more like it on the site): "@DennisFetcho Greetings & I am honored, Sir. That was just something I noticed while here. Im not dunky however. If the msg is meant for both of us, cool. I come here on a regular basis to thumb up & share the videos. I cannot grasp how fundamentally profound your work is & yet it boggles the mind of the masses. I still try to do my best to educate & learn myself. I believe your work & the work of someone named Truthiracy3 should be used to re-educate humanity. Great to hear more vids planned!"

The people of the earth are blind and walk around in a drunken stupor, uttering words like little children who know not what they say.

Daniel 7:24 "And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings."

Daniel 8:20-21 "The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king."

Revelation 17:12 "And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast."

Kings here mean KINGDOMS, all kingdoms have a succession of kings.
The ten horns of Daniel 7, were there till three were uprooted, yet from the fall of western Rome till the last of the three horns was "uprooted", each "horn" or kingdom had succession of kings.

Your reading is literal where "literal" doesn't make any sense, and the obvious understanding is "kingdom", whether it had one or thirty successive kings.

Thank you for your feedback;





How was it possible for me to accurately tweet (check out my tweets in the Twitter archives) for and during the year and four months before Pope Benedict XVI resigned that he has a very short time left (September 2011); he is a short timer (May 2012); that 2012 is his last year (March & April 2012); that his time ends before May 2013 (July 2012); and that he might last till spring 2013? (30 September 2012) Those eight (before the fact) Pope Benedict XVI tweets have been proven to be true.

That is how I read the Bible, that is what happened, and you reject my reading of the Bible in spite of the evidence that my reading was correct. From your reading, you did not know that Benedict would not be pope in 2013 and you do not have a clue that his resignation is a fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

As I tweeted, Benedict XVI was a short timer. His last year to head the papacy was 2012. He resigned before May 2013, and he did not last in office until the spring 2013. Prophetic insight was accurately tweeted because I understood from the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation that a horn is a man and the heads on the beast are specific popes like it says in the Spirit of Prophecy.





You are misreading what EGW wrote: "hear the voice of the dragon."

The opinion you hold as truth, when compared to the evidence, has not been very accurate.

Daniel 7:24 "And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings."

Daniel 8:20-21 "The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king."

Revelation 17:12 "And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast."



In the historical fulfillment of the sea-kingdoms in Daniel that is true.
Those sea-kingdoms sealed the authenticity of Daniel's prophecy.
But when the prophecy is opened and unsealed in the endtime,
they are kings as Heaven's interpretation declares them to be.



Some think that the Heruli were the first kingdom uprooted. It was taken out by an Arian tribe and does not fit the prophecy.

The three horns that were uprooted were: Kings Arlic I, Gelimer and Witigis.

Clovis the Frank became Catholic in 506 and took out King Arlic I, the Visogoth, in 507 and finally subdued his kingdom (the Visogoths) in 508.

King Gelimer of the Vandals was the horn plucked up by the Catholic Emperor Justinian in 533.

And King Witigis, the Ostrogoth, was the one who besieged Rome when Justinian appointed Vigilius. Soon after Pope Vigilius was established on his throne King Witigis was captured in 538 and taken to Constantinople.



When put in focus, my reading not only makes sense, but it allowed me to understand that Pope Benedict XVI would not be pope in 2013. OTOH, the kingdom scenario that you prefer, did not give you a clue that Benedict was identified in prophecy as sure as King Cyrus in Isaiah.

It is time to look at prophecy from a more literal perspective.

In what way does Bush II and Obama well represent the character of our own Government, as expressed in its two fundamental principles?

EGW defined Republicanism and Protestantism.



kland,
Are you suggesting that GW and BO do not at least give lip service to civil liberty and religious liberty?





They both displayed the lamblike profession that claims to believe in civil and religious liberties. And they both spoke as a dragon and acted contrary to what they claimed that they believed.

Claims are NOT characteristics. Characteristics are determined by what something is/does, not claim. The secret to the success of the U.S.'s power and prosperity is not GWB or BHO.
