Apostolic Friends Forum - The Third Kingdom

Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.

This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,

His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.

Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.

Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.

And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.

And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.

And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

There are FIVE parts to this puzzle. The first part and the last part have been revealed.

Who can solve any of the other?

The Second Kingdom.
The Third Kingdom.
The Fourth Kingdom.
The Third Kingdom. Which shall bear rule over all the earth.
What Kingdom has ever rule over all the earth?

At this point in time I am incline to believe that this Third Kingdom has not yet taken place upon the Earth.

I am not aware of any Kingdom that has ruled the whole Earth at any point in time as of yet.

Are any of you?

This pretty much proves that all those people out there in the world claiming that Jesus's return is in this generation and the tribulation and the rapture and the mark of the beast and all the other various interpretations of the prophecies of the end of times and the book of Daniel and Revelation are in this generation.....

IS INCORRECT.

Because not only has the Fourth Kingdom not yet come to pass on Earth.
Neither has the Third as spoke of in the Book of Daniel.

If this is not so...then I challenge anyone on all the Earth to tell me which Kingdom ruled the whole Earth?

There has been No Kingdom that has ruled the whole Earth as according to the words of the Prophet Daniel in the Book of Daniel.

I do not care about what if's or theologies or commentaries or well it could have been this or it could have been that or all the other myths and wives tales that I have read and heard.

and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
which shall bear rule over all the earth.
That is what I want to know.
What Kingdom has already ruled the whole Earth?
One Kingdom with 1 King. That is over all the land and water of the Earth.

The Third Kingdom and the Fourth Kingdom are yet to come upon Earth.

That without a doubt proves that Jesus returning is a very very very very long way off on the time scale of the Earth rotations around the Sun.

And all these Book of Revelation interpreters and the Book of Daniel interpreters that we see every where saying all these things that are just not so. Are not hearing from God.

That is all there is to it. Whether you or anyone else will accept it or not does not and will not change the fact that...THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A KINGDOM THAT HAS RULED THE WHOLE EARTH.

Back in the day of Daniel. A kingdom had a King.
And if this Kingdom ruled over your Nation.
You obeyed their laws.
And their King was your King or over your King.
And you paid TAXES to the treasury of that King.
That was King of the Kingdom that ruled over your Nation.

Now I know and understand that this is almost impossible to accept now days as to all the Revelation and Daniel and the end of age and the number of the beast interpreters that be interpreting every drop of rain that falls from heaven. So you do this....GO FIND ANYONE ON ALL THE EARTH. Who can prove when and where and who was the THIRD KINGDOM.

Tell them to come here and discuss it with me. I will prove them right or I will prove them wrong.

EITHER WAY.

Then you will for sure know the truth.
