True flesh it's ironic how you said, "I just can't see people literally bowing down to a statue of a living man just because he does some powerful magic tricks and bullies people into fighting for his kingdom"; but yet you reference the very book, Daniel, which contains the record of people actually doing what you just said you can't believe. Also, king Nebuchadnezzar didn't even call fire down from heaven and yet people still worshiped his statue.

So how far fetched is the idea really?

This is a man made interpretation that didn't exsist before the seventeenth century (dispensational futurism) and I know better that to follow man.

i suppose there were no truly faithful people, anywhere in the world, that knew how to properly divide scripture before the 17th century (sarcasm)
