You are only looking at one side of that passage, not the other. That passage also says a thousand years as one day. You should divide 24 hours into 1000 years just like you did the reverse. That passage isn't saying any number of years equall any number of days or hours. It is saying basically, that God is outside of time, that "to Him", one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day. We are NOT Him. To us, a day is like a day, a thousand years is like a thousand years. To even try to draw conclusions as you are doing makes absolutely no sense, at least to me.

[You should divide 24 hours into 1000 years just like you did the reverse.]

Like i said in my post 59 to you; read the post "55" "carefully" - 24 hours into 1000 = 41.666 which is exactly what i have done!!!!!!

[To even try to draw conclusions as you are doing makes absolutely no sense, at least to me.]

Reading your apples and oranges comments on your post 58, i did not really expect that any of it will make any sense to you.

At least it does to 14000 + other readers on another Christian website (where i moderate also) - written in my mother tong and also reaching countries such as the Netherlands and Belgium from SA.

Please "carefully" read the post again; but this time round, read it "attentively"also.

Timothy II 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Ecclesiastes I
8 All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

Babylon a thousand years ago, is as the Babylon of today!!

Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

Part three:

The 1st of the sequence of events:
Revelations 17:
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains (seven countries/kingdoms/presidents), on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings (Countries/kingdoms/presidents): (of which five have fallen)
five are fallen, = ?
and one is, = ? = 6
and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. = ? = 7

In summary the above indicates that five which have fallen, still remains five of existing seven.
"and one is", "is" forming part of the five, which means "is"; is also current.
"and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space"; "to come"; - in the scriptual context meaning "of things to come", and scripturally it has also "not yet" fallen.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he "is" the eighth, and "is" of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

The 2nd of the sequence of events:
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth (the economy = beast), are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind (as the seven), and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

The third of the sequence:
16 And the ten hornswhich thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

I Kings 11:
11 Wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.

12 Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father’s sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

13 Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen.

The Group of Eight (G8, and formerly the G6 or Group of Six) is a forum, created by France in 1975,[1] for the governments of six major economies: France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In 1976, Canada joined the group (thus creating the G7). In 1997, the group added Russia, thus becoming the G8. In addition, the European Union is represented within the G8, but cannot host or chair.
History:
The concept of a forum for the world's major industrialized democracies emerged following the 1973 oil crisis. In 1974, a series of meetings in the library of the White House in Washington, D.C. was known as the "Library Group".[5] This was an informal gathering of senior financial officials from the United States, the United Kingdom, West Germany, Japan and France.[6] In 1975, French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing invited the heads of government from West Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States to a summit in Château de Rambouillet. The six leaders agreed to an annual meeting organized under a rotating presidency, forming the Group of Six (G6). The following year, Canada joined the group at the behest of Germany's Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and U.S. President Gerald Ford[7] and the group became the Group of Seven (G7) ("Added" - the formation of the G7 was then concluded in 1976). The European Union is represented by the President of the European Commission and the leader of the country that holds the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. The President of the European Commission has attended all meetings since it was first invited by the United Kingdom in 1977[8] and the Council President now also regularly attends.

(The 1st formal meeting was chaired by the USA in 1976 - this date has importance)

Following 1994's G7 summit in Naples, Russian officials held separate meetings with leaders of the G7 after the group's summits. This informal arrangement was dubbed the Political 8 (P8) – or, colloquially, the G7+1. (And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.) At the invitation of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Tony Blair and President of the United States Bill Clinton,[9] Russia formally joined the group in 1997, resulting in the Group of Eight, or G8.

#7: Turkey

The Turkish Army dates back more than 2,000 years. The modern day Turkish Army is one of the few notable armies that stayed neutral during World War II.

Although the Turkish Army was involved in the Korean War, the largest conflict in the 1900s was in the Turkish Independence War where it fought Russia, Britain, Greece, France and Italy along its borders.


Military service in Turkey is required with few exceptions and it has resulted inTurkey having the second largest ground force in NATO.
http://www.dirjournal.com/info/top-t...-in-the-world/

The largest demographic change could come from Turkey, currently discussing entry procedures with the European Union. That alone would increase the Muslim population in the EU by some 70 million. But Turkey's EU accession is increasingly in doubt, which Justin Vaisse, a fellow for European Studies at the Brookings Institution, says makes speculation about any impacts difficult.

16 December 2011 Russia becomes WTO member after 18 years of talks


Russia has spent 18 years trying to gain access to the World Trade Organization

• Georgia opens WTO door to Russia

Russia has finally joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) at a ceremony in Switzerland on Friday, after 18 years negotiating its membership.
The Swiss brokered a deal between Russia and Georgia earlier this year that removed the last obstacle to Russia's accession.
Georgia had tried to block Russia's WTO entry since the two countries fought a short war in 2008.
Russia was by far the biggest economy yet to join the global trade body.
It is also the last member of the Group of 20 major economies to join, after China gained membership in 2001.
"This result of long and complex talks is good both for Russia and for our future partners," President Dmitry Medvedev said in a message to a WTO ministerial meeting in Geneva that formally approved Russia's membership.
The White House said US President Barack Obama called Mr Medvedev to congratulate him on Russia's admission.
Business environment The 153-member WTO provides a forum for international trade liberalisation agreements, which it polices - deciding when rules have been breached and when retaliatory trade sanctions can be imposed.
The removal of trade barriers is likely to stimulate greater and more diversified trade between Russia and the rest of the world.

• 1993 Russia applies to join the General Agreements on Tariffs and Trade (Gatt)
• 1995 The Gatt is institutionalised as the World Trade Organization (WTO)

• 2000 US President Bill Clinton backs Russia's WTO bid in a speech to the Russian parliament
• Vladimir Putin succeeds Boris Yeltsin as Russian president
• 2001 China joins the WTO after 16 years of talks
• Russian membership talks intensify
• 2002 The US and EU recognise Russia as a market economy, removing a major hurdle to WTO membership

• President Putin questions the benefits of joining the WTO
• 2010 EU reaffirms support for Russian membership
• 2011 Russia reaches an agreement with Georgia in November, opening the way for its accession in December

Some estimates suggest Russian membership will help to boost its economy by tens of billions of dollars each year.
Russia is Europe's third largest export market, while Russia's own exports have been dominated by oil and gas.
"Better and improved allocation of resources within the country... from less competitive to more competitive industries" would be a major benefit to the country, according to Ivan Tchakarov, chief economist at Russian brokerage Renaissance Capital.
But he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that he thought the biggest and least talked about benefit could be an improvement in Russia's business environment.
"By becoming a WTO member, Russia will have to import certain rules and regulations that will address the very issues that foreign investors usually complain about, like corruption, the protection of minority shareholders, the independence of the judiciary."
Remaining hurdle One reason the agreement was finally reached was because of a change of heart in the Russian leadership, according to Mr Tchakarov.
"Since the 2008-09 [global financial] crisis there has been a certain recognition at the very high level in Russia that... Russia will have to open up a little bit to foreign investment, because this is the only way for Russia to become a more competitive economy," he said.
Ahead of the signing ceremony, Russian officials were talking up the benefit of the deal, which will still need to be ratified by the Russian parliament in the next six months.
"This will create the right conditions for the further improvement of our business climate, for an influx of foreign investment and for boosting Russian exports while also retaining the possibility of giving support to our key branches of domestic economy," said Russian foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich.
"We are achieving a completely new level of integration into the global economic system."
The deal with Georgia that opened the way for Russia to join hinged on the international monitoring of trade along the mutual borders of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
The two provinces have broken away from Georgia and are recognised as independent states by Russia.
However, the agreement may still face a hurdle in the US, where existing legislation left over from the Cold War era blocks favourable trading relations with Russia.
But Mr Tchakarov at Renaissance Capital said he believed Congress would agree to eliminate the laws, as past disputes with Russia over agriculture and intellectual property rights have now been fully resolved.

...Understood...& I don't wanna get off topic as I found your description of the "70 year Babylonian captivity" one of the most precise & enlightening interpretations of that prophecy I have ever read...truly amazing. Very quickly... notice the "major dustup" in Dan. 11:40....Now notice the reference to the "Two baaad tidings countries to the North & East" just four verses later in Dan 11:44....My point being is that neither of these two are directly involved in the battle of Dan.11:40....so then...who can they be....?
