Out of respect for a friend, I have been listening to his church's sessions on Zoom. This past week, they were teaching in Revelation based on their weekly reading and the Bible verses. It was good for the most part, comparing the beasts of Daniel with Revelation and how the beasts are a political power, a world system.
During this day's teaching, they said the end time beast is the “Anglo-American” beast referring to the UK and the US. One person even referred to the beast as Anglo-Saxon. What they failed to teach is that in Daniel the end time beast is DIVERSE. the Hebrew definition of "diverse" is:
-
to change, be altered, be changed
-
(P'al) to change, be changed
-
(Pael) to change, transform, frustrate
-
different (participle)
-
(Ithpael) to be changed
-
(Aphel) to change, alter
Here, “diverse” refers a different or changed appearance.

It may have once been but currently the UK is not an anglo nation but a multicultural one. London, the largest city in the UK, is one of the most ethnically diverse populations in the world. Hence, when the...

"[Israelite] Identity (CI) has first been traced back to the 1920s to Howard Rand (1889–1991).[14][15] Rand was a Massachusetts lawyer who obtained a law degree at the University of Maine."
Lawyers are taught to think logically and prove their cases with evidence. Law schools teach that lawyers are smarter than those of other professions because it is a "thinking and reasoning" profession. Because Israelite Identity is proven by evdience from the scriptures, whereas other religions rely on questionable and often contradictory interpretations, Identity attracts highly intellectual people because it is based on a logical, reasonable and actual interpretation of scripture. Students of I Identity are taught to look up the definitions of the original languages when interpreting scritpure, and consider the Greek and Hebrew manuscripts.
Another leading figure in identity is Bertrand Comparet (1901–1983)[26] who was a lawyer graduating from Stanford University with the degree of Bachelor of Arts and Jurist Doctor. He was admitted to the California Supreme Court or California Bar in 1926...
