The Prophecies of Daniel
But the reason I didn't accept it is because the Patriarchs of Constantinople had been crowning Byzantine emperors for years prior to the pope's visit, and those bishops were nothing more than the emperors' servants. There was nothing about the 526AD coronation that implied that the papacy had... -
The Prophecies of Daniel
Ok, let’s take a look at that example. Notice the pope had “recrowned†Justin; so who had crowned Justin originally? The answer is, Patriarch John II of Constantinople in 518AD. For years it had been customary for the Eastern emperors to be crowned by the patriarchs of New Rome, but... -
The Prophecies of Daniel
Wrong on both counts, I’m afraid. I did read the article, and I was very familiar with most of the events mentioned in the 5th-6th Century timeline prior to our discussion. Now you suggested that I may have overlooked “certain partsâ€, but yet you did not bother telling me specifically... -
The Prophecies of Daniel
Right, but where specifically in the 5th/6th Century timeline is evidence that the papacy had power over the emperor and over other kingdoms? Where is the evidence that the papacy uprooted three tribes? Lets move away from generalities and get into specifics here. In Christ, Acts6:5 -
The Prophecies of Daniel
How does any of that answer the questions I raised in the previous post? What leads you to believe the papacy had power over the Roman Empire and other governments between the reigns of Zeno and Justinian? Can you provide examples? And what evidence do you have showing that the papacy was... -

The Prophecies of Daniel
During the time period that we are discussing (476-552AD) the papacy did not have power over the Roman Empire or over other governments. What leads you to believe the papacy had that power between the reigns of Zeno and Justinian? Can you provide examples? The question that should really be... -
The Prophecies of Daniel
The Lombards were concentrated in the northern part of Italy, so there may be Italians with ancestrial ties to the ancient Lombards in certain Italian areas. Throughout the Middle Ages, Italy was occupied by the Franks, Normans, etc., so there are probably any number of bloodlines scattered... -
The Prophecies of Daniel
I see the words, but I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove exactly. Are you suggesting that the Bishop of the city of Rome was responsible for the destruction of tribes like the Vandals and the Ostrogoths simply because the Eastern Roman Empire’s military carried it out? If so, that... -
The Prophecies of Daniel
Although those Wikipedia entries nicely summarize the last years of the Heruli, Vandal, and Ostrogothic tribes, I fail to see any place where the papacy was credited with their demise. Was there something about those articles in particular that you felt was relevant besides general information... -
The Prophecies of Daniel
But how does their being “gone†inherently implicate the papacy in their disappearance? But you can’t merely assume that in the cases of the Heruli, Vandals, and Ostrogoths, the papacy was operating through the Byzantine government. All I’ve seen so far are assumptions; what is the... -
The Prophecies of Daniel
Sure, but how much of that info credits the papacy with the destruction of the Heruli, Vandals, and Ostrogoths? Can you proivde examples? I don't believe that the Wikipedia entries for those tribes credit the Roman See with their demise, and the only sources on the net that blame the papacy... -
The Prophecies of Daniel
Those differences were pretty substantial. If you think that the Roman See and the Byzantine government were of one accord between the rise of Odoacer in 476AD and the fall of the Ostrogoths then you are greatly mistaken. There is simply no justification in claiming that the Bishops of Rome... -
The Prophecies of Daniel
Ok. But do you know of any historical evidence crediting the papacy with the uprooting of those specific tribes? In Christ, Acts6:5 -
The Prophecies of Daniel
So which three barbarian kingdoms did the papacy pluck up, and what historical evidence do you have for this claim? In Christ, Acts6:5 -

The Prophecies of Daniel
Gibbon mentioned in the footnote that he used “iron monarchy†as a specific reference to Daniel 2:31-40. So rather than the Roman Empire becoming known as the iron monarchy, this was simply an example of Christian commentary in action. As in my previous post, there seems to be, yet again... -

Hi brakelite. The first two chapters of Machiavelli’s History of Florence contain two separate lists of Germanic nations in the Western Empire; one list during the reign of Emperor Theodosius II, the other during the reign of Emperor Zeno around 476AD. In chapter 1, Machiavelli listed... -
Hunting the Whore of Babylon
I believe the accounts you mention involving Nimrod and Semiramus are neither considered secular history or tradition; they are simply old myths. The earliest legends that even remotely link Semiramus to the Biblical Nimrod only date back to the Assyrians, and the Babylonian historian Berosus...
