>>In the days of those kings the Elohim of heaven will raise up an everlasting kingdom that will not be destroyed and a kingdom that will not be left to another people. It will break in pieces and bring about the demise of all these kingdoms. But it will stand forever.<< Dan. 2:44
>>1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had ceased to exist, and the sea existed no more. 2 And I saw the holy city - the new Jerusalem - descending out of heaven from Elohim, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband<< Rev. 21:1-2
Interesting Bible verses
Yesterday, Nov. 26, 2025, I read through the entire Bible for the 50th time. It took me about 8 months. The following verses in particular stood out to me: Dan. 2:40-45 / Rev. 21:1-2 / Luke 17:20-21 / Rev. 22:7, 12 and 20
We will read those verses and some other ones related the theme. At the same time, let us reflect on their meaning:
Dan. 2:40-45
>>40 Then there will be a fourth kingdom, one strong like iron. Just like iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything, and as iron breaks in pieces all of these metals, so it will break in pieces and crush the others. 41 In that you were seeing feet and toes partly of wet clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom. Some of the strength of iron will be in it, for you saw iron mixed with wet clay.
42 In that the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, the latter stages of this kingdom will be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 And in that you saw iron mixed with wet clay, so people will be mixed with one another without adhering to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.
44 In the days of those kings the Elohim of heaven will raise up an everlasting kingdom that will not be destroyed and a kingdom that will not be left to another people. It will break in pieces and bring about the demise of all these kingdoms. But it will stand forever.
45 You saw that a stone was cut from a mountain, but not by human hands; it smashed the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold into pieces. The great Elohim has made known to the king what will occur in the future. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is reliable."<<
The general understanding among Bible scholars is that this fourth kingdom refers to the Roman Empire. It was founded around 700 BC, split into two Romes in 395 AD. Western Rome fell in 476 AD, and Byzantine Rome finally fell in 1453 AD.
It seems that the Book of Revelation is dealing with Rome a second time, as if resurrected from the dead, as the superpower that is now the EU. We do not yet see it gaining world domination, but after the stages of various nations, I believe it will. (I refer to Revelation chapters 13, 17, and 18)
Rev. 21:1-2
>>1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had ceased to exist, and the sea existed no more. 2 And I saw the holy city - the new Jerusalem - descending out of heaven from Elohim, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband.<<
From these it becomes clear that the present earth and the present heaven have then passed away, that is, they have been destroyed according to Rev. 20:11
>>Then I saw a large white throne and the one who was seated on it; the earth and the heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them.<<
Luke 17:20-21
>>20 Now at one point the Pharisees asked Yeshua when the kingdom of Elohim was coming, so he answered, "The kingdom of Elohim is not coming with signs to be observed, 21 nor will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or 'There!' For indeed, the kingdom of Elohim is within you."<<
That is a really interesting teaching! In connection with this, I have read in some old Apocrypha book that after Adonai Yeshua rose from the dead, many of his disciples saw the New Jerusalem floating in the sky, which is the capital of Yehowah's kingdom! That vision lasted 40 days! If that really happened, then the prophecy of John the Baptist and Adonai Yeshua was fulfilled, according to which: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near!"
Rev. 22:7, 12 ja 20
>>7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
20 He which testifies these things says, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Adonai Yeshua!<<
We know that over 1900 years have passed since the visions of Revelation were given. Considering that, those verses contain two different prophecies:
1) For each person individually immediately after their death.
2) For all end-time people regarding the return of Adonai Yeshua to the earth with his thousands of thousands of saints, to rule over all nations for 1,000 years.
For those people which are alive when he comes, both of those prophecies will be fulfilled.
Let us always be ready!
Let us not fear all that lies ahead of us, for our Elohim will protect the lives of all our chosen ones here on earth as well! Rome 8:28
>>And we know that all things work together for good for those who love Elohim, who are called according to his purpose,<<
This may be my last 'Reflections on shabat' study, for everything has its appointed time here on the earth! May Adonai Yeshua bless you all!
