@fmf saidYes
Do you think the people who wrote the Book of Revelation were aware of - or even well versed in - the Book of Daniel?
John wrote the book of Revelation from the island of Patmos while he was in prisoner prior to writing the gospel of John. However Revelation isn’t a re-hash if Daniel.

@divegeester saidI’ve read some of the discussion but not the whole discussion.
If you haven’t “waded through” the thread then how do you know that what you are posting will “strike a chord”?
Your discussion is on the book of revelation so I’ve seen some the areas that have been covered, and have introduced something that I hoped would be of interest. Revelation was for the time of the end and wouldn’t be fully understood until closer to the time of the end. We are now living at the time, the last days (of this system).
@divegeester saidYou surely don’t think that I would enter into a discussion on such a complex work without at least having read it? (And Daniel)
Are you saying that the “key to understanding” a book which is ostensibly a chaptered set of bizarre ghastly metaphors, is another book which is also a chaptered set of bizarre metaphors?
Because for a moment there I thought that you have absolutely no idea about it whatsoever, and are simply throwing out a claim which you are completely incapable of supporting in any substantive way.
Have you read either ?
@medullah saidThe thing about Revelation it clearly says that there is going to be an end, and an accounting for the things done in this life. It all matters!

@divegeester saidSome might find that they are in denial about Daniel.
So we should all read the book of Denial and all will be revealed?
@medullah saidI’ve read both.

@medullah saidThe Bible as a whole is connected, granted it was written in a span of 1500 or thereabout, forty authors from different walks of life, in three languages, on three continents and there is overlap and referencing each other. I'm just going through Revelation now; your input connecting it to Danial is welcome. For me, I don't spend a lot of time studying prophecy about end times, just knowing that its coming is enough. Regardless of how it all falls out, if I pass into the next life today, being right or wrong about specific events in the future in this life, it will not matter much to me; however, the next life that is a different level of importance.
I agree Kelly, but you can’t take it in isolation as there is an overlap between the statue of Daniel 2:44 and the 7 headed beast.
