King = Prince = Angel ? |
Dan.10:12 Then said he to me, Don't be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard: and I am come for your words' sake. Dan.10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me: and I remained there with the kings of Persia. Dan.10:20 Then he said, "Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go forth, behold, the prince of Greece shall come. Dan.10:21 But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the writing of truth: and there is none who holds with me against these, but Michael your prince." † The beast is the king.[1] There may be an opinion that this king is not seen as a state or political power, but as Satan fraudswarms who have seized political power.[2] The prince who stopped the angel from coming to Daniel cannot be Adam.[3] (Given that Gabriel had often visited Daniel in the past[4], it is likely that this angel who came to Daniel here was also Gabriel, but it cannot be confirmed.) Therefore, the prince of Persia, the kings of Persia who blocked the angel of God here can't be a person. There is a prince of Persia, there is a prince of Greece, and there is a prince who helps God's people.[5] And these princes will all be angels.[6] The princes who stopped the angels from doing God's will, are probably fallen angels.[7] † Of course, only God is the supreme ruler of the creation world[8], and God the Son who came as Adam, has become like an angel[9] and is personally ruling over the creation world.[10] However, even though they were the princes of lawlessness, the fallen angels who stopped them were called by the angel of God, the princes of Persia. † Since the beast that came up from the sea means the king, and this king or prince means the angel, there may be an opinion that the reality of the beast that came up from the sea is an angel. It is the view that the 4 beasts that came out of the sea, that is, the 4 kingdoms, the 4 kings, are the 4 angels who rule each nation. In this way, it can be inferred that just as there were a prince of Babylon, a prince of Persia, a prince of Greece, and a prince of Rome in the 4 nations at this time, it can be inferred that each of the subsequent nations will have their own princes. And perhaps, most or all of those princes are fallen angels who rebel against God.[11] † If the beast is viewed as an angel, the beast that came up from the sea in Revelation 13 can also be viewed as an angel who received power from Satan.[12] The dragon[13], Satan, is also an angel[14], and the beast that has been given dominion by Satan is also an angel. Then the saying that the beasts are thrown into the lake of fire also means that the angels are thrown into the lake of fire.[15] The angels who were thrown into the lake of fire when the LORD Jesus comes again, is still burning in the lake of fire after 1000 years have passed.[16] This angel who had been given power by Satan, was in control of the whole world, that is, the earth.[17] Just as this angel is thrown into the lake of fire, so the earth melts in the fire.[18] If we look at the scarlet beast as this angel, it means that the angel has been burning for over 1000 years, and if we look at the scarlet beast as the world that this angel has taken over, that is, the earth, it means that the earth has been burning for more than 1000 years. If we look at the scarlet beast as this angel, it is impossible to know how long the earth will be burned and melted, because the angel has been burning for over 1000 years and not the earth. If the earth can be restored after being melted in fire, there may be a possibility that a new heaven and a new earth, the paradise, will be established on earth. But if that is not possible, the new heaven and the new earth will be established in different places.[19] † If the beast is viewed as an angel, the beast that burned the prostitute in Revelation 17 can also be viewed as an angel. The saying that the beast hates the prostitute and burns her means that the angel uses political power to burn the prostitute.[20] The prostitute is the city that has dominion, that is, the Babylon papacy.[21] I think they are on the same side, but I don't know why they are attacking[22], but the angel who has taken over the superpower is destroying the Babylon papacy with the power of the superpower. (The angel fought with the prince of Persia, and the prince of Greece came[23], and Greece destroyed Persia. Maybe like this, if an angel fights against the Babylon papacy, will the superpower destroy the Babylon papacy?) However, if the beast, the king[24], is not an angel but merely a political power, then a fallen angel may be involved in the background[25], but the destruction of the prostitute by the beast is simply the result of a struggle for supremacy between those in power. |
Conclusion Satan will fight most violently through the beasts he will set up in the 1st half of the 70th week, but Satan's defeat has already been decided. |
