I'm with you up to the 7th head. Your explanation of the first six empires as "MSR" would also be understood as the "known" world, as highlighted by each progressively getting larger. But on the other hand the United Nations contains nearly all of the nations of the "known" world including the E.U. One must follow the Daniel 2 image "timeline" and demonstrate who the feet and toes of clay and iron are? Ten nations of the U.N. have the ability to make fire come out heaven and destroy, they are the ten toes. Soon another crisis like the covid 19 will be upon the world and the scriptures will be fufilled.
The second beast with "two horns" is not "the false prophet". The first beast is explained in Rev. 17: 7-11, the seven mountains are kingdoms that rule over all men of their time as Daniel 2: 37,38 explains. The 8th king "Satan" has always been an influence in the affairs of kingdoms. And Yeshua the mountain crushes them all!
It sure wasn't Jews, there were none around that's why it's called desolations. And they still have to stand at the western wall look up and ask the Lord, "when will Messiah come ?"
If any man have an ear, let him hear, Rev. 13; 11 is the United States, verse 12 the United Nations, verse 13 Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and verse 14 the image Israel.
You must read United Nations resolution 303 to know who really controls Jerusalem. Israel is the image of the beast with no control over the temple mount except for police powers.
Hold on Kwik, why the animosity. Please read 2 Timothy chapter 3 and tell me what i'm missing? Shining a light on "TRUTH" and a false hope is what a Christian is all about. Is the corporate Christian church immune to the wiles of the devil, not hardly he's working overtime especially among the Church. You say it is not salvational then my ticket on the pre- trib rapture train is already punched, on the other hand how will Christians ever know who the false prophet and 8th beast are when the "TIME" comes.
By your own admission it is not to be found in the text, therefore it is not biblical truth and teaching it to others is a falsehood. Some would call that a sin. Believing in a rapture would be misleading yourself from overcoming in the " Appointed Time". If you can't stand a little tribulation what good would you be to YHVH in the "Appointed Time". No guts no glory.
