The Rod of Iron Rule....when is it? How does it work?

The Rod of Iron Rule....when is it? How does it work?

Well, here's SOME of it, fulfilled:

Rev 2:27 ‘ He shall rule them with a rod of iron;
They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’—

Psalm 2
7 “I will declare the decree:
The LORD has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’”

In Daniel 2 it was foretold that in the latter days 'a stone' [Christ] was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay [Roman Empire], and brake them in pieces. Two feet, ten toes; read Eastern and Western Roman Empire and the ten Germanic tribes, the Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Vandals, Franks, Burgundians, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Alamanni, and the Lombards. Rome was first ruled by the Caesars and then by the Germanic tribes. These are also the ten horns of the seventh head of Revelation and the ten horns of the fourth beast of Daniel.

These ten kings of the seventh head were to make war with the Lamb [the Church]. We, as Baptists, are acutely aware of the persecutions the Church suffered at the hands of the Holy Roman Empire. The ten kings of the seventh head were also to hate the Harlot [the dispersed Jews], eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. Herein lies the realization of the punishments and curses outlined in Lev 26 & Dt 28 (etc.) on the Jews for not hearkening unto the voice of Jehovah, i.e., the persecutions, pogroms, expulsions, etc, that the Jews have experienced down through the last two millennia.

If you'd read the thread carefully, you'd see that I said the oft stated purpose of the millennium was to fulfill promises supposedly hitherto unfulfilled.

JoJ is saying the purpose is something else.
That doesn't mean that I am disagreeing with your statement, for Pete's sake. There can be more than one reason for an act of God. If you say one reason for an act of God, and I say another, that does not mean that we are contradicting each other if those reasons are compatible.

Lol. I just quoted the Scripture, and you say you corrected it.

Listen, I understand. To sustain a premillennial eschatology, one has to do a lot of correcting of the Scriptures. :Roflmao
Once again you bear false witness about me. That's against one of the Ten Commandments, so you are being immoral. I did not correct the Scriptures, I re-translated from the original Greek. Are you a Ruckmanite that you think that is "correcting the Scriptures"?
