The Secret Life Of Titus Series

Prophetic History Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

The image is a unity, and one kingdom leads to another. It is no accident that the traditional interpretation, which has been the view of the church through all the centuries, takes these four kingdoms to be the Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Greek, and Roman.
