                                                                (see "Prophetic Vocabulary")
Note; Can a Juror determine truth without hearing ALL of the evidence?  It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that one hear ALL of the evidence, beginning with Part #1 of these posts!



      In PART #9, the JURY heard the testimony of JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF in the Book of Revelation, that SATAN'S SEAT was located in Pergamos.



       The JURY also heard the testimony of "Documented Human History" that the Kingdom of Pergamon arose as one of four kingdoms OUT OF "Alexander the Great's" Greece.






      The JURY also heard the testimony of "Documented Human History" that Pergamos (Satan's Seat), was GIVEN to the ROMAN EMPIRE.






       REVELATION 13:2 goes on to TESTIFY that SATAN would GIVE his SEAT (PERGAMOS) to the LEOPARD / BEAR / LION BEAST that had 7 Heads and 10 Horns.



REVELATION 13

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
 

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as [the feet] of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.




 

       Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, the DEFENSE would submit for your consideration that this LEOPARD / BEAR / LION BEAST WITH SEVEN HEADS and TEN HORNS describes the ROMAN EMPIRE.






       REVELATION 13 testified that the DRAGON / SATAN would GIVE THIS LEOPARD / BEAR / LION BEAST his Seat.






       "Documented Human History" testified that Satan's Seat / "Pergamos", was given to Rome.




       In earlier testimony, the JURY heard the FIRST THREE of the FOUR KINGDOMS that would rule over the earth described as;




  •   A LION . . . . . . . . . . . . . . BABYLON

  •   A BEAR  . . . . . . . . . . . . . PERSIA / MEDES

  •   A LEOPARD . . . . . . . . . . GREECE






       REVELATION 13 describes the BEAST that received Satan's Seat as having the "PHYSICAL" appearance of the FIRST THREE KINGDOMS.




REVELATION 13

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as [the feet] of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.








       "Documented Human History" bears witness that the ROMAN EMPIRE RULED OVER ALL OF THE "PHYSICAL" GEOGRAPHIC TERRITORY OF THESE FIRST THREE KINGDOMS.






      
       According to the TESTIMONY of DANIEL, this LAST "LITTLE KINGDOM" WOULD RULE UNTIL CHRIST'S SECOND COMING.




DANIEL 7

19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth [were of] iron, and his nails [of] brass; [which] devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;


20 And of the ten horns that [were] in his head, and [of] the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even [of] that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look [was] more stout than his fellows.

21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;

22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom









       How is it possible that AN EMPIRE THAT RECEIVED IT'S DEADLY HEAD WOUND SOME 1500 YEARS AGO   STILL EXISTS  AND  AT THIS VERY MOMENT  IS "MAKING WAR with those that KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD and have the TESTIMONY OF JESUS"?




       The JURY is asked to consider;



       Political Powers "MAKE WAR" with OTHER POLITICAL POWERS.




       Matters concerning God are generally considered to be RELIGIOUS in nature.





      Would this "Little King" / SATAN THAT WAS TO COME OUT OF ROME be a Political Power, or a "RELIGIOUS POWER" that would MAKE WAR AGAINST GOD'S PEOPLE and prevail against those that KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, AND HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS





       Would this "Little King" / SATAN THAT WAS TO COME OUT OF ROME be a Political Power, or a "RELIGIOUS POWER" that would THINK to change God's Laws and Times?




       Would this "Little King" / SATAN THAT WAS TO COME OUT OF ROME be a Political Power, or a "RELIGIOUS POWER" that would EXALT ITSELF TO THE EQUAL OF JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF (THE PRINCE OF THE HOST)?





      In PART #11, the JURY will continue to hear the TESTIMONY OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE.







       Did a "RELIGIOUS LITTLE KING / KINGDOM" rise up among 10 HORNS / KINGDOMS that arose OUT OF THE FAILING  Roman Empire?





       Did this "RELIGIOUS LITTLE KING" cause 3 of those Kingdoms to be destroyed?






       How is it possible that the LONG DEAD Roman Empire, which became the unchallenge world power in 281 B.C. could still be an UNINTERUPTED RULING WORLD SUPERPOWER for almost 2300 years?








       Let us examine ROME'S RISE to become THE 4TH "World Superpower" in 281 BC.







http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Rome

 The last threat to Roman hegemony in Italy came when Tarentum, a major Greek colony, enlisted the aid of Pyrrhus of Epirus in 281 BC, but this effort failed as well.




Hegemony is an indirect form of government, and of imperial dominance in which the hegemon (leader state) rules geopolitically subordinate states by the implied means of power, the threat of force, rather than by direct military force.








       The JURY will now hear the TESTIMONY of "Documented Human History" regarding Rome's emergence in 281 B.C., as the 4th "World Superpower" to rise up on the earth.






       Alexander conquered the Persian Empire under its last Achaemenid dynast, Darius III, within a short time frame and died young, leaving an expansive empire of partly Hellenised culture without an adult heir.




       The empire was put under the authority of a regent in the person of Perdiccas in 323 BC, and the territories were divided between Alexander's generals, who thereby became satraps, at the Partition of Babylon in 323 BC.

 




       Seleucus, who had been "Commander-in-Chief of the camp" under Perdiccas since 323 BC but helped to assassinate him later, received Babylonia and, from that point, continued to expand his dominions ruthlessly.




       Seleucus established himself in Babylon in 312 BC, the year used as the foundation date of the Seleucid Empire.






       The Seleucid Empire was a Greek-Macedonian Hellenistic state ruled by the Seleucid dynasty founded by Seleucus I Nicator following the carve-up of the empire created by Alexander the Great following his death.





Seleucus invaded Asia Minor and defeated his rival in the Battle of Corupedium in Lydia, 281 BC. Lysimachus fell in battle.




In addition, Ptolemy had died a few years earlier.




       Seleucus was thus now the only living contemporary of Alexander.



 

      Seleucus now held the whole of Alexander's conquests except Egypt and moved to take possession of Macedonia and Thrace.




       He intended to leave Asia to Antiochus and content himself for the remainder of his days with the Macedonian kingdom in its old limits.





       He had, however, hardly crossed into the Thracian Chersonese when he was assassinated by Ptolemy Keraunos near Lysimachia September (281 BC).






       The JURY should note that;


       With the death of Seleucus in September 281 BC, Rome became the UNCHALLENGED  4th World Superpower.
