Have you had success witnessing to family members?

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house [Matt. 13:57].

"You see, His hometown folk were so familiar with Him and with His family that they were “offended in him.” That is, they took offense at Him. I suppose they said, “We know His family. He grew up among us. Where does He get the things He teaches?”"

And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief [Matt. 13:58].

"This is a tremendous revelation. Note what it was that limited the power of God when He was here. It was unbelief! “He did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” It was not that He was unable to do them; but because of their unbelief, He did very few miracles there. My friend, the great problem with you and me is that we do not have faith to believe—and I’m talking about faith for the salvation of men and women. We need the kind of faith that believes Christ can save the lost. He is limited today in your own community, in your church, in your family, and in your own life by unbelief. And this is certainly true of me also. Our Lord states a great truth here. Let’s not bypass it." McGee, J. Vernon: Thru the Bible Commentary. electronic ed. Nashville : Thomas Nelson, 1997, c1981, S. 4:81

Dan 7:8: Do you think 3 nations will fall soon? And if so, which ones?

"Chapter summary. Daniel first sees four beasts who kill and supplant each other (7:1–8), with God appearing to put an end to the last beast (vv. 9–14). An angel explains that the beasts represent successive kingdoms. A ruler will arise from the last kingdom to oppose God and the saints, after which God will appear to establish His eternal kingdom (vv. 15–28). In his second vision Daniel sees a ram and he-goat struggling (8:1–12). The Angel Gabriel explains this vision, which gives a general summary of the rise of Medo-Persia and Greece and the four-part division of the empire after the death of Alexander the Great (vv. 13–27). Verses 23–25 seem to describe Anthiochus Epiphanes, who persecuted the Jews in the 160s b.c., but who here serves as a type of the Antichrist destined to appear at history’s end." Richards, Larry: The Bible Reader's Companion. Wheaton, Ill. : Victor Books, 1991, S. 519

I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things [Dan. 7:8].

"Our attention is now directed to the ten horns. Notice that they do not represent a fifth kingdom: they grow out of the head of the fourth beast and are the last development of the fourth beast. In the toes of the first vision, the vision of the image, they are iron and clay. Iron is still there—Rome is still there, but the clay, the weakness, is there also. I think the iron represents the autocratic rule of one man, and the clay represents the crowd, a democracy.

Very candidly, we see that type of weakness in democracy today. We are proud of the freedom we have—I thank God we have it—but it is almost a joke to talk about how important John Q. Public is. You and I are not very important, to tell the truth. Oh, every now and then when it’s time for elections, the politicians tell us how important and wonderful and educated we are. However, we have very little to do with the control of our government or with the choice of our president. The lobbyists and the politicians are making the choices. I thank God for the liberty we have, but we have been brainwashed to think as they think.

God’s ideal government is not a democracy—it is a real dictatorship. When Jesus Christ rules on this earth, He is not going to ask anyone what he wants done. He is going to make the choices, and this earth is going to be run the way He wants to run it. That is the reason it would be best if you and I would become conformed to His image; otherwise we will be very uncomfortable under His dictatorship. Actually, He will put out of His kingdom anything that offends, anyone who is in rebellion against Him. We are to bow to Him and to His absolute rule.

Rome fell apart because of internal corruption and rottenness and drunkenness. All four of these empires went down with drunkenness. In our own country we say drugs are a problem, but liquor is legal. Who are we kidding? My friend, there are millions of alcoholics trying to hold down jobs today. That is only part of the problem, because that does not include the number of housewives and even children who are alcoholics but are not represented in the statistics. No one knows about them until they commit suicide or need to be put into a mental institution. That is the picture of America in the dark hour in which we live.

Rome is going to be put together again, and it is interesting that men are looking for someone who will be able to do it. The German historian Hoffman has said this: “When Germans and Slavs advanced partly into Roman ground, anyhow into the historical position of the Roman Empire, their princes intermarried with Roman families. Charlemagne was descended from a Roman house; almost at the same time the German Emperor Otho II and the Russian Grand-Prince Vladimir intermarried with daughters of the East-Roman Emperor. This was characteristic for the relation of the immigrating nations to Rome; they did not found a new kingdom, but continued the Roman. And so it continues to the end of all earthly power, until its final ramification into ten kingdoms. To attempt now to mark out these would be as misplaced as to fix the Coming of Christ (with which they stand connected) tomorrow or the next day.”

“Another little horn” becomes the key to the entire situation. He uproots three of the ten horns and establishes himself over all. I do not know who the ten kingdoms are, but they come from the disintegration of the Roman Empire." McGee, J. Vernon: Thru the Bible Commentary. electronic ed. Nashville : Thomas Nelson, 1997, c1981, S. 3:571-572

My eschatology isn't pre-millenial, so I wouldn't be much fun talking on the subject :)

Sure you would. You watch the news? Hmm?I'm a Premillennialist, too.

See:

What is the Difference Between Premillennialism, Amillennialism, and Postmillennialism? Thru the Bible with J. Vernon McGee

[Edited notes: The Mark of the Beast, Part 1 Re 13 by David Jeremiah] History empires: Babylon, Media-Persian Empire, Greek Empire, Roman Empire

Ruler of 10 crowns (nations). The next empire (the revival of the Roman Empire) will be the last empire. The anti-Christ controls the population.

The false prophet (the beast coming up out of the earth (Re 13:11) manages all orchestrates everything. He is the epitome of every false prophet. He comes in the calmness of a lamb but inwardly is a ravenous wolves (Re 13:11, Mt 7:15).

See:

The Mark of the Beast, Part 1 Re 13 by David Jeremiah

If we knew who the antichrist was we'd be in bad shape now wouldn't we because :rapture: we'd have been left behind. :shocked: I trust you are a Christian and so am I. So, who do you think it might be? :Shimei: First guy, world political ruler. Second guy, a religious leader.

I will pray for your family. I'm sorry that they have not believed you (Mt 13:58).
