The 7 & 8??????
And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land:
and when he shall tread in our palaces,
then shall we raise against him seven shepherds,
and eight principal men.
And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword,
and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof:
thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian,
Micah 5:5,6
And the seven angels came out of the temple,
having the seven plagues, ....And one of the four beasts
gave unto the seven angels
seven golden vials full of the wrath of God,.....
Revelation 15:6,7
P.S.---Could the 7 "shepherds" be the 7 angels with the plagues to devastate the land of Nimrod? (Babel)?...And could the 8 "principal men" be the 7 "shepherds" and the 4th beast (of the 4 headed beast of Revelation) who gives them the 7 vials? It doesn't say which beast, but one was a Lion--Christ is the Lion of Judah & would have the authority & power to give these vials to the 7 angels/"shepherds"-hence making the 8 "principal men" involved....
