Shalom all. Our brother, while reading Numbers and seeing the Kittim mentioned in the text, remembered that they were mentioned in Gad the Seer chapter 2 as Edom. He also recalled how I had called them Rome, but wanted to know how we can see that information in the text for ourselves. 

In the video, we cover two main points; 1st, that Rome is known as the Kittim in the Septuagint at Daniel 11:30, and 2nd, that the Kittim are spoken of in many of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and only match Rome.

Knowing this connection, I highly encourage everyone to look into Scripture and see what it says about them all. Not only will you see for yourself Yahuah knew and foretold what they would do, but also what He is doing in response.
