Pagan Rome and Papal Rome?
The Greek empire came to an end and the Roman Empire was established as it rule the known world. The time of Rome the Pagan period was seen as 168BC to 476AD. In 476AD the Barbarians overthrew the Western Empire and is seen as the end of the Pagan period although the Eastern Empire with Greek roots persisted. In this period the Roman Catholic Church started to become a Religio-political force. Europe was now broken up into 10 tribes: The division was made possible by several nations that were largely instrumental in the collapse and breaking up of the Roman Empire. The groups that held Roman territories and formed their own kingdoms included the Franks, Huns, Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Heruli, Lombards, Anglo-Saxons, Suevi, Vandals, and Burgundians. Each of the kingdoms established were independent from each other unlike the method followed by the Roman Empire We need to go back to Daniel and look at the Little Horn power: Dan. 7:24And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. Here we have the fourth beast of Daniel 7 with 10 horns and a Little Horn uprooted 3. History confirms that in the ascendency period of Papal Rome it deposed of 3 groups: The Heruli, Ostrogoths and in 538AD the Vandals were overthrown by the Papal armies and now we have the start of the dark ages with Papal supremacy that only ended 1260 years later with Gen. Berthier of Napoleon’s army taking the Pope in custody and a deadly wound is given. This ends the 1260 day, 42 months and time, Times and dividing of times prophecy. Pagan Rome meandered into Papal Rome and we know the deadly wound was healed in 1929 when Mussolini returned political power to the Pope and the Vatican now formed the smallest and richest state and the World wondered after the Beast.
