I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.   As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.

At first glance verse 11 seems to suggest that this will occur at the End of Time within the Lake of Fire... I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame . But verse 12 declares this to not be the case because we then read... "As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time". This shows there is a period of time between the beast being slain and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame and the rest of the beast's lives being prolonged for a season and time. Notice God states "the burning flame", not the Lake of Fire. So this clearly declares this is a judgment of some sort upon Satan & his kingdom at some point in time limiting or bringing his "power" to a halt.

Genesis 47:13-14  And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.  ₁₄ And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.

As we study the 3 examples of the first part of the great tribulations above, we find that the Promised Land which is represented as Canaan, Judah and the Church were all allowed by God Himself to be under subjection by the kings of Egypt & Babylon. They all had full reign. So we can surely know for a fact that 1988 can not be the date to which Daniel 7:11-12 is referring to.

2 Kings 24:1  In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.

(2 Kings 24:16  And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.

2 Chronicles 36:13  And he (Zedekiah) also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD God of Israel.

2 Chronicles 36:20  And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia

Revelation 18:1   And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory (1994).

  Revelation 18:2   And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

  Revelation 18:3   For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

  Revelation 18:4   And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Revelation 13:17   And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. The Elect did not receive the mark therefore they did not "buy" the King of Babylon's merchandised corrupt gospel. They rebelled against the king's tribute.

As we study the 3 examples of the second part of all the great tribulations above, we find that the Promised Land which is represented as Canaan, Judah and the Church continued to be under the rule of the Egyptian & Babylonian kings and that it actually increased to total control. They all had full reign. So we can surely know for a fact again that 1994 can not be the date to which Daniel 7:11-12 is referring to.

Genesis 41:30   And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land

Jeremiah 25:11   And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

Revelation 7:14   And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Daniel 7:10-12   A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.  ₁₁ I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.  ₁₂ As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time

As we study the 3 examples of the third part of the great tribulations above we find that in each case God's people were no longer under captivity as the Egyptian pharaoh and the Babylonian kings died. But their kingdoms remained. All three instances show that although they were freed, they still lived within Satan's realm. In Jacob's instance they were freed but the Promised Land was ruled by many other nations. In Judah's instance they were freed but the Promised Land was still a territory of the Persian Empire (formerly the Babylonian Empire). In the Church's instance God's people were freed but the Promised Land (Church) is still under the unsaved's control and the world outside the Church (the world - Egypt... where the Elect reside) is under the control of the unsaved. So we can surely see that the year 2011 represents the year of when Satan "died" but his kingdom still remains until the End.

But it appears that Satan was not actually killed outright. It's just a spiritual example relating to Satan's status. We can compare his "death" to the two witnesses' "death" in Revelation 11:7,

We have another example of Satan receiving a death blow. The Bible declares that Satan's head had received a deadly wound during the Church Age which was from 33A.D. until 1988. This wound was extremely severe, "as it were wounded to death".

We have now covered Satan's status during the Church Age, the 2300 days & the 6100 days.

Going back to the original verse of this whole topic:

I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.   As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.

Romans 6:7-9   For he that is dead is freed from sin.  ₈ Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:  ₉ Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him .
