Kanye West Tweets Apocalyptic Bible Verse Moments Before Taylor Swift's 2019 AMAs Performance

Kanye West tweeted a heavily marked-up bible verse on Sunday night, and fans could not help but notice he posted it right as Taylor Swift was winning the Artist of the Decade Award at the AMAs. The rapper has a complicated history with Swift and with award shows, but he is putting all of his focus and energy on his spirituality this days. Fans wondered what Sunday's selection was meant to say.

West posted a picture of a bible page on Sunday night in the middle of the American Music Awards of 2019. The book was open to Daniel 3:27, and West had covered the page in highlighter marks, notations and asterisks.

By all appearances, the verse was an apocalyptic one, concerned with "The Fiery Furnace" and the worship of false idols.

This story is developing.

The premiere of his opera "Nebuchadnezzar" at the Hollywood Bowl is in progress and livestreaming on TIDAL.

Did you really think we were going to miss @kanyewest’s foray into opera? We’re big believers that opera is for everyone and are excited to see how Kanye will make his mark.

English translation of the thread title?

[Rastus]

I saw a commercial saying she was getting Artist of the Decade. That’s how you know it’s been a really bad ten years in music.

LoL! I know. The title is amusing. This whole thing is amusing! And Kanye’s opera doesn’t seem half bad from the footage I’ve seen. I could see how it will go above some people’s heads though.

Whatever. Anything that gets Scripture and Bible prophecy on the collective consciousness is a GOOD thing! God bless this moment and for many more hereafter.

[Salvavida]

This part of Daniel is NOT apocalyptic literature. It is historical narrative. It does NOT correlate to anything apocalyptic save the revealing of the Son of God. The furnace has nothing to do with end times or God's plan for the world.

Hermeneutics matters.

To be honest, I can afford to be more literate in Old Testament prophecy and I will be taking a class through some of it at least with my church in the new year. All I know about Daniel is the Lion’s Den.

The website I posted from is popculture.com not a theology source...But I think anything that gets people talking about the Bible and reading it is a good thing.

Kanye’s opera on the Book of Daniel is still clearly a work in progress, but shows potential.

[Zuriel]

An astute observation! Lol!

[hellinahandcart]

Oh, golly. He has his own opera “Nebuchadnezzar” streaming tonight, and these idiots think the verses are about Taylor Swift.

Shadrack, Meshack & Abednego Song - from an old 1939 Vitaphone Jazz short "Larry Clinton & His Orchestra."

From a Messianic perspective it is about how Christ will protect us through the trials and tribulations of this life.

[Salvavida]

Indeed. Pop culture has a different definition of apocalyptic.

May I suggest "Basic Bible Interpretation" by Roy Zuck?

It is a popular college text, easy read and it will be one of your favorites: you will use it the rest of your life. It is the best book on hermeneutics I seen.

[Jan_Sobieski]

I disagree. There is a historical application to Daniel 3, but there is also a future one. Jesus said the reader of Daniel will understand the end times (Matt 24). The image in Daniel 3 has 666 numbers for its height / width. A number that is important In the last days (soon)

[Don W]

Anything from the Bible that isn't "sunshine, lollypops, rainbows, peace smoke dope and hari krishna all you groovy freaks" is apocalyptic to the secular left.

Personally, I prefer THIS kind of Apocalyptica

[Salvavida]

There is apocalyptic literature in Daniel. It is as a book, apocalyptic in nature. but Dan 3:13-26, the only verses presented on Twitter, is not. I emphatically disagree with Hein's suggestion that "most biblical scholars agree......he was experiencing a vision."

No they don't agree. I'd like to see he source for that assertion.

They king was not seeing a vision. He was seeing reality: what he created (a furnace), God's preservation of his saints amidst the fire, along with a special revelation from God of the pre-incarnate eternal Son. That is historical narrative. It happened, and it only has one interpretation.

I saw a commercial saying she was getting Artist of the Decade. That’s how you know it’s been a really bad ten years in music.

I can't imagine they'd give it to anyone else. Since 2010, there has been nobody who has had a greater impact on music than Taylor Swift. Even if she hadn't sold her soul to the Left, she'd still have gotten this award.

And music today is as good as it's been in a long time. Problem is, nobody is hearing any of it. There's countless great bands out there but instead of making millions of dollars selling CDs to millions of fans, they're barely keeping the lights on through Pandora and Spotify and a few thousand subscribers. By the time you or I discover them, they've already released three albums, broken up, and quit music for day jobs.

[Hildy]

I agree with you. There is some great music out there, but you have to go search. I think it’s worth it.

[Secret Agent Man]

If true, she’s really broken up with a lot of guys the last 10 years.

[OldGoatCPO]

Sir Isaac Newton's book on the meaning of the prophecy from the Book of Daniel is still one the best reads on this subject. Fairly easy to read and only .99 on iBooks.
