Something to consider, thanks. But it does not mean his eschatology was completely correct... Me personally, I think along the lines of Pagan Rome, and Christian Rome.. Rome made Rabbinic Judaism, and the sect of the Pharisees the religious authority when the temple was destroyed. Their traditions, became oral torah (law) by the authority (and enforcement) of Rome. Rome made the catholic Church religious authority over Christianity. Not much difference there. That is just my thoughts at this point.

Early Church Father (Irenaeus Of Lyon) was a disciple of (Polycarp) who was a disciple of the (Apostle John) who wrote the Revelation from prison on the Island of Patmos Irenaeus taught of a literal human man that was to be the antichrist, and he taught that this evil man would be given 3.5 years in power and that he would be present at the final judgment and cast into the lake of fire with his evil followers at the Lord's return (Final Judgement) The 12 chapters of Daniel are for all to read, the prophecy of Daniel concerning this evil human man (The Little Horn) will be fulfilled at the time of the end

Fascinating. This is new to me; I appreciate the information. 

Here is one of my articles on Isaiah 13:  Isaiah 13:1-8 Babylon- an oracle. A Prophecy against foreign nations:            Raise a flag, sound the call to battle. I have commanded My holy ones to carry out My judgement, all My troops, eager for the victory. Listen to the noise of their gathering, they come, prepared with the weapons of the Lord’s wrath. Wail, for the Day of the Lord is near, devastation from the Almighty. Because of this, all courage will melt away and terror and fear will grip everyone. Joel 2:1-11, Isaiah 24:1 Isaiah 13:9-16 The Day of the Lord is coming, that cruel Day of wrath and fierce anger, to reduce the earth to desolation and to destroy all the wicked there. The sun, moon and stars will be darkened when God punishes the world for its sins. The heavens will tremble and the earth will be moved out of her place. .             Humans will be scarcer that gold, at the wrath of God and the Lamb, on that Day of their blazing anger. Like sheep with no shepherd, people will rush back to their native lands, those who are caught will be killed. Isaiah 66:15-16     Isaiah 13:17-22 is fulfilled prophecy - Ancient Babylon was destroyed by the Medes, it has never been rebuilt as an inhabited city.  Isaiah chapter 47  Isaiah 13:1-16 is about the forthcoming Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath. This is the next prophesied event, which will clear the entire Middle East area, enabling Greater Israel to be settled by the Lord’s people, Jew and Gentile; every born again Christian.  Revelation 5:9-10 Verse 10 says how it will be dark on that Day – this will be caused by the smoke and ash clouds resulting from a huge Coronal Mass Ejection from the sun. Isaiah 30:26-28, Jeremiah 30:23-24, Malachi 4:1, Isaiah 66:15-16, Ezekiel 20:46-48, Revelation 6:12-17. THEN, His faithful people, have the wonderful promises of redemption and restoration. They will live in peace and security in all that area promised to Abraham. That all this will take place before Jesus returns, is evident by the way His people gather- not by the angels, as in Matthew 24:31 – but by travelling along ‘a highway’, by every conveyance. Isaiah 66:20. & 35:8-10 Also how the Lord gives His faithful peoples a sign and motivates them to migrate to the Holy Land, the new nation of Beulah: Isaiah 62:1-5                                                                                  

Excellent response.
