Daniel’s Fourth Kingdom: Fulfilling the Times of the Gentiles

by Melvin L. Hawkins LLC

About the Book

Although there is broad consensus among Bible prophecy scholars that the times of the gentiles will continue until the return of Jesus Christ, the century-old, traditional interpretation holds that Daniel’s fourth, gentile kingdom (the Roman Empire) ceased to exist in AD 476 in the West at Rome and, therefore, must be “revived” politically in the beginning of the seven-year tribulation period. That prevailing viewpoint is obscuring a clear understanding of the continuing existence of the fourth kingdom as well as its fulfillment in history of important prophecies related to the end times. Peters forewarned about this potential interpretation problem in The Theocratic Kingdom (1884). Daniel’s Fourth Kingdom: (1) establishes that the divided Roman Empire still exists today and explains why that fact matters regarding the season of Christ’s return; (2) respectfully questions the traditional interpretation; (3) exhorts the church to love not the temporal kingdoms of this world but, instead, to embrace her gospel-inspired, Holy Spirit-empowered, love-driven, apolitical, evangelical mission to share the gospel with all nations while expecting the possibly imminent pretribulation rapture; and (4) invites all readers, believers and skeptics alike, to consider the relevance of the Bible concerning world history, current events, and the future.

    This is such an intriguing take on Daniel's fourth kingdom! It makes me think about how often we can overlook important interpretations because of long-standing traditions. It’s always refreshing to explore new perspectives. Speaking of engaging experiences, I recently found the Drive Mad application, which challenges my thinking in a different way—through fun racing dynamics. It’s a reminder that new insights can come from unexpected places!

     Kinda wild. It's interesting how Hawkins connects this to understanding end times prophecies. This makes me think, is the interpretation the real challenge, a bit like mastering "magic tiles 3 ", needing perfect timing?

    So, the Roman Empire is still kicking, huh? Reminds me a bit of how 'Sand Tetris ' pieces settle and shift – the interpretations here are definitely crumbling some old ideas. I wonder what Hawkins would say about today's world order, considering his ideas on the end times prophecies.

    I’ve always been curious about how Daniel’s fourth kingdom is interpreted and your points about its continuing existence really make me think differently about history and prophecy. I especially liked the reminder that the church’s focus should be on love and the gospel, not earthly powers. On a lighter note, reading this made me chuckle thinking about how sometimes I get equally distracted by silly things like crazy cattle 3d—one moment.
