>>THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT
TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
00:01:00.66\00:01:03.46
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:01:03.49\00:01:09.50
>>THERE ARE FEW HUMANS WHOSE
INTELLECT COULD MATCH THE GENIUS
00:01:09.53\00:01:12.83
OF LEONARDO DA VINCI, ONE OF THE
GREATEST ARTISTS AND INVENTORS
00:01:12.87\00:01:16.54
OF ALL TIME.
PROBABLY, HE'S MOST RENOWN
00:01:16.57\00:01:19.67
FOR HIS MONA LISA PAINTING.
LEONARDO ALSO EXCELLED IN THE
00:01:19.71\00:01:24.41
FIELDS OF SCIENCE, OPTICS,
ENGINEERING, ANATOMY, BOTANY,
00:01:24.45\00:01:30.05
ARCHITECTURE, GEOLOGY, ZOOLOGY,
MECHANICS, AND MANY MORE.
00:01:30.09\00:01:35.52
IN MANY OF THESE AREAS HE
WAS FAR AHEAD OF HIS TIME.
00:01:35.56\00:01:39.86
FOR EXAMPLE, HE DREW DESIGNS
THAT WERE THE EQUIVALENT OF A
00:01:39.89\00:01:43.40
HELICOPTER, ONE FOR A PARACHUTE,
A DIVING SUIT, AN ARMORED TANK,
00:01:43.43\00:01:48.10
AND MANY OTHER FASCINATING
INVENTIONS OF OUR DAY.
00:01:48.14\00:01:51.37
HE EVEN BUILT A ROBOT CAPABLE OF
WALKING, SITTING, AND MOVING ITS
00:01:51.41\00:01:55.24
JAW - AND SOME OF HIS ROBOTIC
CONCEPTS ARE CURRENTLY BEING PUT
00:01:55.28\00:01:59.35
TO USE IN ROBOTS FOR
SPACE EXPLORATION TODAY.
00:01:59.38\00:02:02.75
LOOKING BACK, IT ALMOST SEEMS
LIKE LEONARDO COULD SEE INTO THE
00:02:02.78\00:02:06.76
FUTURE. WE
MIGHT WONDER IF ANYONE
00:02:06.79\00:02:09.72
REALLY CAN PREDICT THE
FUTURE. IN ANCIENT BABYLON, THE
00:02:09.76\00:02:13.36
PROPHET DANIEL INFORMED KING
NEBUCHADNEZZAR ABOUT THE GOD OF
00:02:13.40\00:02:16.80
HEAVEN WHO REVEALED THE DEEP
AND SECRET THINGS OF THE FUTURE.
00:02:16.83\00:02:20.77
SO JOIN ME NOW, FRIENDS, AS WE
DISCOVER WHAT GOD'S WORD REALLY
00:02:20.80\00:02:23.91
SAYS ABOUT THE MYSTERIOUS BEASTS
FROM THE PROPHECIES OF DANIEL
00:02:23.94\00:02:28.54
AND REVELATION.
00:02:28.58\00:02:33.98
>>A LITTLE WHILE AGO - A FEW
YEARS AGO - A TEENAGE GIRL IN
00:02:34.02\00:02:37.65
VIRGINIA WAS KIND OF SHOCKED
WHEN SHE SAW, IN HER BACKYARD, A
00:02:37.69\00:02:42.12
TURTLE WITH TWO HEADS. >>WOW.
00:02:42.16\00:02:44.73
>>AND SHE FELT SORRY FOR
THE POOR THING AND WAS A LITTLE
00:02:44.76\00:02:48.63
SHOCKED AND DIDN'T
KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO REACT.
00:02:48.66\00:02:50.43
SHE TRIED TO FEED IT SOME
LETTUCE AND BOTH HEADS WERE SORT
00:02:50.47\00:02:52.83
OF FIGHTING FOR THE
LETTUCE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
00:02:52.87\00:02:55.50
TWO-HEADEDNESS IS NOT
COMPLETELY UNHEARD OF IN THE
00:02:55.54\00:02:59.44
ANIMAL KINGDOM.
USUALLY THOSE CREATURES DO NOT
00:02:59.47\00:03:02.08
LIVE VERY LONG BECAUSE THEY FEEL
- THE TWO MINDS ARE TELLING THE
00:03:02.11\00:03:07.45
BODY TO DO TWO DIFFERENT THINGS
AND THEY CAN NEVER SEEM TO AGREE
00:03:07.48\00:03:11.25
AND THEY JUST DON'T
SEEM TO SURVIVE IN THE WILD.
00:03:11.29\00:03:14.59
BUT YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING
WITH FOUR HEADS AND YOU'VE NEVER
00:03:14.62\00:03:19.89
SEEN ANYTHING WITH SEVEN
HEADS, BUT THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT
00:03:19.93\00:03:23.90
CREATURES WITH FOUR HEADS AND
SEVEN HEADS AND, IN PARTICULAR,
00:03:23.93\00:03:27.74
THERE'S A CREATURE THAT
KEEPS REAPPEARING IN THE BOOK OF
00:03:27.77\00:03:31.44
REVELATION WITH SEVEN HEADS AND
TEN HORNS, AND YOU'LL FIND THE
00:03:31.47\00:03:35.28
TEN HORNS ON ANOTHER
BEAST IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL.
00:03:35.31\00:03:38.71
AND, AS WE LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE,
YOU'LL SEE THAT THIS IS
00:03:38.75\00:03:42.52
TYPICALLY TALKING
ABOUT THE SAME POWER.
00:03:42.55\00:03:45.82
WE NEED TO IDENTIFY THAT POWER
BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THE MAIN
00:03:45.85\00:03:49.06
PLAYERS IN THE LAST DAYS.
THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT IS
00:03:49.09\00:03:51.83
DEALING WITH THE
SUBJECT A WOMAN RIDES A BEAST .
00:03:51.86\00:03:55.80
AND THIS HEARKENS FROM A
PROPHECY AND A PICTURE THAT
00:03:55.83\00:03:58.60
YOU'LL FIND IN REVELATION 17.
00:03:58.63\00:04:01.27
NOW, IN THIS PRESENTATION,
IN PARTICULAR, WE'RE GOING TO BE
00:04:01.30\00:04:03.71
TALKING ABOUT, 'WHAT IS THIS
BEAST THAT KEEPS REAPPEARING IN
00:04:03.74\00:04:09.04
THE BOOKS OF
REVELATION AND DANIEL?'
00:04:09.08\00:04:12.55
IF YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES
YOU'LL WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT
00:04:12.58\00:04:13.85
REVELATION CHAPTER 17 AND THERE
IT SAYS, "SO HE CARRIED ME AWAY
00:04:13.88\00:04:19.05
IN THE SPIRIT
INTO THE WILDERNESS.
00:04:19.09\00:04:22.62
AND I SAW A WOMAN SITTING ON A
SCARLET BEAST WHICH WAS FULL OF
00:04:22.66\00:04:27.03
NAMES OF BLASPHEMY, HAVING
SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS."
00:04:27.10\00:04:32.53
NOW, WE DISCUSSED THIS EARLIER
AND WE'LL GIVE YOU SOME MORE
00:04:32.57\00:04:34.80
SCRIPTURES FOR IT, BUT IN THESE
BIBLE SYMBOLS A WOMAN REPRESENTS
00:04:34.84\00:04:38.67
A CHURCH. 'HUSBANDS
LOVE YOUR WIVES,' PAUL
00:04:38.71\00:04:42.04
SAYS, 'EVEN AS CHRIST LOVED THE
CHURCH AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR IT.
00:04:42.08\00:04:46.01
I'VE LIKENED THE DAUGHTER OF
ZION TO A DELICATE AND COMELY
00:04:46.05\00:04:48.95
WOMAN.' ALL
THROUGH THE OLD TESTAMENT
00:04:48.98\00:04:51.05
GOD COMPARES
ISRAEL TO HIS BRIDE.
00:04:51.09\00:04:54.59
SO HIS PEOPLE - IT'S
OFTEN IDENTIFIED WITH A WOMAN.
00:04:54.62\00:04:57.33
YOU'VE GOT TWO DIFFERENT KINDS
OF WOMAN THAT ARE THERE, BOTH IN
00:04:57.36\00:05:00.20
THE OLD AND THE NEW TESTAMENT,
THE FAITHFUL AND THE UNFAITHFUL,
00:05:00.23\00:05:04.47
AND THIS WOMAN IS, EVIDENTLY,
NOT THE FAITHFUL ONE BECAUSE IT
00:05:04.50\00:05:08.80
SAYS SHE'S GOT A PARAGRAPH
ON HER FOREHEAD THAT SAYS,
00:05:08.84\00:05:11.64
'MOTHER OF
HARLOTS'. THAT WOULD SORT OF
00:05:11.67\00:05:12.94
BE A CLUE, RIGHT?
SHE'S NOT THE FAITHFUL WIFE.
00:05:12.97\00:05:16.91
NOW, YOU SEE THESE TWO WOMEN
IDENTIFIED THERE IN REVELATION -
00:05:16.95\00:05:19.85
REVELATION 12
YOU'VE GOT THE GOOD ONE.
00:05:19.88\00:05:22.42
SO, WHAT'S THE CONNECTION NOW
BETWEEN THE WOMAN IN REVELATION
00:05:22.45\00:05:27.19
12 - THERE'S ANOTHER
BEAST THAT APPEARS TO HER.
00:05:27.22\00:05:30.76
YOU LOOK IN REVELATION 12, VERSE
3, "AND THERE APPEARED ANOTHER
00:05:30.79\00:05:33.66
WONDER IN HEAVEN: AND BEHOLD
A GREAT RED DRAGON - SAME AS THE
00:05:33.70\00:05:37.83
SCARLET THAT YOU FIND IN
REVELATION 17 - "HAVING SEVEN
00:05:37.87\00:05:41.37
HEADS AND TEN HORNS," - SAME
BEAST - "AND SEVEN CROWNS UPON
00:05:41.40\00:05:45.47
HIS HEADS." AND IT GOES ON TO
SAY THAT THIS BEAST IS TRYING TO
00:05:45.51\00:05:50.01
ATTACK THIS WOMAN. SO
HERE IN REVELATION 17 YOU'VE
00:05:50.05\00:05:52.85
GOT THIS RED SEVEN-HEADED
TEN-HORNED BEAST THE
00:05:52.88\00:05:55.98
WOMAN IS RIDING THE
BEAST. THEY'RE IN COOPERATION.
00:05:56.02\00:05:59.69
AND THEN YOU GO TO REVELATION
12, THAT SAME BEAST IS TRYING TO
00:05:59.72\00:06:02.96
DESTROY THIS WOMAN.
SHE'S CLOTHED WITH LIGHT -
00:06:02.99\00:06:05.79
THE SYMBOL OF GOD'S
CHURCH. I HAVE ANOTHER STUDY
00:06:05.83\00:06:07.60
TALKING ABOUT THAT. NOW
GO TO REVELATION 13 - YOU
00:06:07.66\00:06:12.17
KNOW REVELATION 13 -
YOU'VE HEARD OF 6-6-6?
00:06:12.20\00:06:15.04
>>YEAH. >>MARK OF THE BEAST?
00:06:15.07\00:06:16.60
THAT'S REVELATION 13. AND
YOU CAN READ THERE, IT SAYS,
00:06:16.64\00:06:21.01
"AND I SAW A BEAST RISING UP OUT
OF THE SEA," - NOTICE THE SEA
00:06:21.04\00:06:25.01
- "HAVING SEVEN HEADS AND
TEN HORNS" - SOUND FAMILIAR?
00:06:25.05\00:06:30.45
- "AND ON HIS HORNS TEN CROWNS,
AND ON HIS HEADS A BLASPHEMOUS
00:06:30.49\00:06:34.56
NAME." BLASPHEMY IS WHEN SOMEONE
00:06:34.59\00:06:37.16
IS DEGRADING GOD BY PUTTING
THEMSELVES IN THE PLACE OF GOD
00:06:37.19\00:06:41.03
OR CLAIMING THE PREROGATIVES OF
GOD. AND SO, YOU NOTICE THAT THE
00:06:41.06\00:06:45.00
WOMAN, NAMES OF BLASPHEMY -
DANIEL 7 TALKS ABOUT THIS BEAST
00:06:45.03\00:06:49.20
POWER AS BLASPHEMY AND HERE
YOU SEE THAT CREATURE AGAIN.
00:06:49.24\00:06:53.68
NOW, I JUST NEED TO TELL
EVERYBODY, STRAIGHT UP, AS
00:06:53.71\00:06:57.18
NICELY AS I CAN, THAT - YOU WANT
ME TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, RIGHT?
00:06:57.21\00:07:01.55
>>YEAH. >>PAUL ASKS A QUESTION.
00:07:01.58\00:07:04.22
HE SAID, 'AM I YOUR ENEMY
BECAUSE I TELL YOU THE TRUTH?'
00:07:04.25\00:07:07.42
I HOPE YOU DIDN'T COME BECAUSE
YOU JUST WANT ME TO PREACH
00:07:07.46\00:07:09.86
SMOOTH THINGS. YOU
WANT TO KNOW, 'WHAT
00:07:09.89\00:07:11.46
DOES THE BIBLE REALLY SAY?'
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, GOD'S WORD
00:07:11.49\00:07:15.20
IS VERY FAITHFUL TO NOT
ONLY TALK ABOUT THE WAY HE
00:07:15.23\00:07:18.17
WOULD BLESS HIS PEOPLE.
AND THERE WERE MANY TIMES GOD'S
00:07:18.20\00:07:20.94
PEOPLE WERE FAITHFUL AND
THERE WERE MIRACLES WROUGHT.
00:07:20.97\00:07:23.14
HE SAID, 'ONE OF YOU WILL CHASE
A THOUSAND.' AND THEN HE SAID,
00:07:23.17\00:07:27.18
'YOU'LL TURN FROM ME.
YOU'LL WORSHIP OTHER GODS.'
00:07:27.21\00:07:29.51
AND HE PROPHESIED
THEIR UNFAITHFULNESS.
00:07:29.54\00:07:32.35
AND THE WORD THAT GOD USED, HE
SAID, 'YOU WILL GO WHORING AFTER
00:07:32.38\00:07:35.55
OTHER GODS.' HE'S
TALKING ABOUT HIS PEOPLE.
00:07:35.58\00:07:39.92
NOW, HE ALSO DOES THAT
IN NEW TESTAMENT TIMES.
00:07:39.95\00:07:44.36
EVEN PAUL SAID, 'I KNOW, AFTER
MY DEPARTURE, GRIEVOUS WOLVES
00:07:44.39\00:07:47.03
WILL COME IN NOT
SPARING THE FLOCK.
00:07:47.10\00:07:49.06
FROM AMONG YOUR OWN SELVES
PEOPLE WILL ARISE SPEAKING
00:07:49.10\00:07:52.10
PERVERSE THINGS TO DRAW AWAY
DISCIPLES AFTER THEMSELVES.' SO,
00:07:52.13\00:07:55.97
EVEN PAUL PREDICTED SOMETHING'S
GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE CHURCH.
00:07:56.00\00:07:58.27
THE DEVIL IS GOING TO COME AFTER
THE CHURCH AND THERE'S GOING TO
00:07:58.31\00:08:00.88
BE MAJOR UNFAITHFULNESS.
WELL, I'M GOING TO TELL YOU
00:08:00.91\00:08:05.68
RIGHT NOW, IN REVELATION CHAPTER
13 - IT'S NOT JUST ONE BEAST -
00:08:05.71\00:08:09.35
REVELATION CHAPTER 13, THERE ARE
TWO BEASTS. DID YOU KNOW THAT?
00:08:09.38\00:08:12.62
WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THE MARK OF
THE BEAST - CHAPTER ACTUALLY HAS
00:08:12.65\00:08:14.72
TWO BEASTS. YOU SEE
IN CHAPTER 13, FIRST FEW
00:08:14.76\00:08:18.19
VERSES TALKS ABOUT THE FIRST
BEAST. LATER ON, YOU GET TO
00:08:18.23\00:08:21.96
VERSE 11, IT SAYS, 'AND
THEN I SAW A SECOND BEAST.'
00:08:22.00\00:08:24.53
I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, I'M
NOT TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE, I'M
00:08:24.57\00:08:28.47
TALKING ABOUT SYSTEMS AND
AREAS WHERE CHURCHES HAVE BEEN
00:08:28.50\00:08:33.64
DISOBEDIENT. AND THIS HAS
BEEN FORETOLD IN PROPHECY.
00:08:33.68\00:08:37.85
SO YOU WANT ME TO
KEEP GOING? >>YES.
00:08:37.88\00:08:39.61
>>I JUST - I
WANT TO BE FAITHFUL.
00:08:39.65\00:08:40.85
I WANT TO BE KIND, BUT I DON'T
WANT TO MINCE WORDS WITH YOU.
00:08:40.88\00:08:44.45
SO WITH THAT BACKGROUND,
YOU'VE GOT THIS BEAST THAT KEEPS
00:08:44.49\00:08:47.46
APPEARING -
SEVEN HEADS, TEN HORNS.
00:08:47.49\00:08:49.69
WE'RE GOING TO FIND
OUT 'WHO IS THIS BEAST?'
00:08:49.72\00:08:51.66
IT'S ALSO KNOW
AS 'THE ANTICHRIST'.
00:08:51.69\00:08:53.80
NOW, THE WORD 'ANTICHRIST'
MEANS 'AGAINST CHRIST'.
00:08:53.83\00:08:57.57
HOW MANY TIMES DOES THE
WORD 'ANTICHRIST' APPEAR IN
00:08:57.60\00:08:59.23
REVELATION? NOT AT ALL. I
TOLD YOU THAT EARLIER - IT'S
00:08:59.27\00:09:04.01
ONLY IN THE LETTERS OF JOHN.
AND JOHN SAYS THERE ALREADY WERE
00:09:04.04\00:09:08.64
MANY ANTICHRISTS, EVEN IN HIS
DAY. SO THE WORD 'ANTICHRIST'
00:09:08.68\00:09:11.81
CAN BE USED BROADLY, BUT
THE MAIN BEAST IS ALSO CALLED
00:09:11.85\00:09:14.75
'THE ANTICHRIST'.
IT'S LIKE THE INDUSTRIAL
00:09:14.78\00:09:17.79
STRENGTH ANTICHRIST ON
STEROIDS THAT YOU FIND THERE
00:09:17.82\00:09:20.42
THROUGH THE BOOK.
ALRIGHT, SO LET'S FIND
00:09:20.46\00:09:22.72
OUT FIRST ABOUT BEASTS.
QUESTION #1: WHAT DOES A
00:09:22.76\00:09:26.09
BEAST REPRESENT IN
PROPHECY? WE'RE GOING TO LET THE
00:09:26.13\00:09:29.43
BIBLE EXPLAIN ITSELF. IF
YOU LOOK, FOR INSTANCE, IN
00:09:29.46\00:09:32.77
DANIEL CHAPTER 7, VERSE 17, IT
SAYS, "THOSE GREAT BEASTS, WHICH
00:09:32.80\00:09:37.44
ARE FOUR, ARE FOUR KINGS
WHICH ARISE OUT OF THE EARTH."
00:09:37.47\00:09:41.54
NOT JUST KINGS, BUT IT ALSO
INCLUDES KINGDOMS - THOSE GREAT
00:09:41.58\00:09:44.91
BEASTS WHICH ARE FOUR - OR, "THE
FOURTH BEAST" - RATHER - "SHALL
00:09:44.95\00:09:47.92
BE THE FOURTH KINGDOM" - SO
YOU'VE GOT - IT'S KINGS - IT'S
00:09:47.95\00:09:51.32
KINGDOMS - IT'S
TALKING ABOUT POWERS.
00:09:51.35\00:09:53.29
LOOK IN DANIEL 8, VERSE 20 AND
YOU'LL SEE THERE WHERE THERE'S
00:09:53.32\00:09:56.66
THIS VISION OF SHEEP AND GOATS
AND IT SAYS, 'THE RAM WHICH YOU
00:09:56.69\00:10:00.83
SAW, HAVING THE TWO HORNS -
THEY ARE THE KINGS OF MEDIA AND
00:10:00.86\00:10:05.43
PERSIA, AND THE MALE GOAT
IS THE KINGDOM OF GREECE."
00:10:05.47\00:10:09.87
SO HERE IT'S GOT A GOAT THAT
REPRESENTS - AND IT SAYS THE
00:10:09.90\00:10:13.21
HORN BETWEEN HIS
EYES IS THE FIRST KING.
00:10:13.24\00:10:16.75
LATER WE LEARN
THAT'S ALEXANDER THE GREAT.
00:10:16.78\00:10:19.21
IT MAKES IT PRETTY CLEAR.
SO, YOU KNOW, IF - TODAY, DO
00:10:19.25\00:10:23.92
WE SOMETIMES USE COUNTRIES
TO ILLUSTRATE - OR ANIMALS
00:10:23.95\00:10:26.59
TO ILLUSTRATE
COUNTRIES? IF I SAY 'BEAR' WHAT
00:10:26.62\00:10:29.82
COUNTRY DO YOU
THINK OF? >>RUSSIA.
00:10:29.86\00:10:31.43
>>RUSSIA. AND, IF I SAY
EAGLE - >>UNITED STATES.
00:10:31.46\00:10:34.10
>>THE UNITED
STATES. AND THE LION IS -
00:10:34.13\00:10:37.30
GREAT BRITAIN, EXACTLY.
SO, IT'S NOT NEW OR UNUSUAL.
00:10:37.33\00:10:41.97
COUNTRIES HAVE DONE THAT AND SO
GOD DOES THIS ALSO IN PROPHECY.
00:10:42.00\00:10:45.64
ALRIGHT, QUESTION 2: IS THERE
A BEAST WITH TEN HORNS IN DANIEL
00:10:45.67\00:10:49.94
CHAPTER 7. NOW
WE'RE JUMPING TO THE OLD
00:10:49.98\00:10:52.95
TESTAMENT AND I JUST
WANT TO MAKE SURE WE SET THE
00:10:52.98\00:10:55.15
FOUNDATION FOR REVELATION.
YOU REMEMBER WHAT I SAID, OUT
00:10:55.18\00:10:57.92
OF 404 VERSES IN THE BOOK
OF REVELATION, 278 OF THEM ARE
00:10:57.95\00:11:03.29
FOUND ALMOST
VERBATIM IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:11:03.32\00:11:06.63
SO, TO UNDERSTAND REVELATION,
IT'S ALL ROOTED IN THE OLD
00:11:06.66\00:11:10.23
TESTAMENT.
YOU'VE GOT TO GO BACK.
00:11:10.27\00:11:13.37
>>DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS,
WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST A MOMENT
00:11:13.40\00:11:15.90
WITH THE REST OF
TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:11:15.94\00:11:18.14
BECAUSE OF ITS MYSTERIOUS
SYMBOLISM, MILLIONS FEEL THAT
00:11:18.17\00:11:21.94
THE BOOK OF REVELATION AND
ITS PROPHECIES ARE CONFUSING.
00:11:21.98\00:11:25.28
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED, 'CAN
ANYONE REALLY KNOW FOR CERTAIN
00:11:25.31\00:11:28.78

PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME MORE
00:12:20.34\00:12:23.44
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:12:23.47\00:12:27.88
>>LOOK IN DANIEL CHAPTER 7,
VERSES 2 AND 3 AND DANIEL SAYS,
00:12:27.91\00:12:32.05
"...IN MY VISION BY NIGHT,
AND BEHOLD, THE FOUR WINDS OF
00:12:32.08\00:12:36.02
HEAVEN WERE
STIRRING UP THE GREAT SEA."
00:12:36.05\00:12:39.05
- SO IT TALKS ABOUT THESE
WINDS STRIVING - "AND FOUR GREAT
00:12:39.09\00:12:42.12
BEASTS CAME UP FROM THE SEA,
EACH DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER."
00:12:42.16\00:12:46.46
MATTER OF FACT, I'M GOING
TO READ SEVERAL VERSES HERE IN
00:12:46.49\00:12:48.33
DANIEL CHAPTER 7 - IF YOU
BROUGHT YOUR BIBLE WITH YOU, YOU
00:12:48.36\00:12:51.90
MAY WANT TO JOIN ME
AND TURN THERE REAL QUICK.
00:12:51.93\00:12:54.00
LET'S JUST TAKE A LOOK, FOR
INSTANCE, VERSE 3 - DANIEL 7:3 -
00:12:54.04\00:12:57.44
"AND FOUR GREAT BEASTS CAME
UP FROM THE SEA, EACH DIFFERENT
00:12:57.47\00:12:59.87
FROM THE OTHER. THE
FIRST WAS LIKE A LION."
00:12:59.91\00:13:02.88
- LIKE A WHAT? >>LION.
00:13:02.91\00:13:04.38
>>"FIRST WAS LIKE A LION AND IT
HAD EAGLE'S WINGS AND I WATCHED
00:13:04.41\00:13:08.62
UNTIL THE WINGS WERE PLUCKED
OFF: AND IT WAS LIFTED UP FROM
00:13:08.65\00:13:11.35
THE EARTH AND MADE TO STAND ON
TWO FEET LIKE A MAN, AND A MAN'S
00:13:11.39\00:13:14.72
HEART WAS GIVEN TO IT.
AND SUDDENLY ANOTHER BEAST, A
00:13:14.76\00:13:17.99
SECOND LIKE A BEAR IT WAS RAISED
UP ON ONE SIDE, AND HAD THREE
00:13:18.03\00:13:22.00
RIBS IN ITS MOUTH
BETWEEN ITS TEETH.
00:13:22.03\00:13:24.13
AND THEY SAID THUS TO IT:
'ARISE, DEVOUR MUCH FLESH.' AND
00:13:24.17\00:13:27.80
AFTER THIS I LOOKED AND THERE
WAS ANOTHER LIKE A LEOPARD WHICH
00:13:27.84\00:13:30.97
HAD ON ITS BACK FOUR WINGS OF A
BIRD AND THE BEAST ALSO HAD FOUR
00:13:31.01\00:13:34.88
HEADS" - I TOLD YOU, YOU CAN
FIND A BEAST WITH FOUR HEADS IN
00:13:34.91\00:13:37.08
THE BIBLE - "AND
DOMINION WAS GIVEN TO IT."
00:13:37.11\00:13:40.58
AND THEN, NOW THIS IS THE BEAST
THAT IS THE ANTICHRIST - "AND
00:13:40.62\00:13:45.22
THEN, AFTER THIS, I SAW IN
THE NIGHT VISIONS AND BEHOLD, A
00:13:45.25\00:13:48.62
FOURTH BEAST, DREADFUL AND
TERRIBLE, EXCEEDINGLY STRONG.
00:13:48.66\00:13:53.90
IT HAD HUGE IRON TEETH: IT WAS
DEVOURING, BREAKING IN PIECES,
00:13:53.93\00:13:58.23
AND TRAMPLING THE RESIDUE WITH
ITS FEET, IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM
00:13:58.27\00:14:01.27
ALL THE BEASTS THAT WERE BEFORE
IT, AND IT HAD TEN HORNS."
00:14:01.30\00:14:06.27
THAT SOUND FAMILIAR? >>YEP.
00:14:06.31\00:14:08.21
>>I JUST WANT TO
READ A LITTLE FURTHER.
00:14:08.24\00:14:09.41
LET'S GO TO VERSE 8, "I WAS
CONSIDERING THE HORNS, AND THERE
00:14:09.44\00:14:13.82
WAS ANOTHER HORN, A LITTLE ONE,
COMING UP AMONG THEM, BEFORE
00:14:13.85\00:14:17.29
WHOM THREE OF THE FIRST HORNS
WERE PLUCKED OUT BY THE ROOTS."
00:14:17.32\00:14:20.89
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG
AND A KID STARTS GETTING THEIR
00:14:20.92\00:14:22.69
GROWN-UP TEETH AND STARTS
PUSHING OUT THE BABY TEETH, IT'S
00:14:22.72\00:14:25.69
ALMOST THAT KIND OF A PICTURE
THAT THIS LITTLE HORN COMES UP,
00:14:25.73\00:14:28.26
BUT IT'S PUSHING OUT
THREE HORNS AS IT MAKES ITS WAY.
00:14:28.30\00:14:31.73
AND SO - AND IT SAYS, 'IN THIS
HORN' - DON'T MISS THIS - "WERE
00:14:31.77\00:14:36.20
EYES LIKE THE EYES OF A MAN, AND
A MOUTH SPEAKING POMPOUS WORDS."
00:14:36.24\00:14:40.18
OR THAT CAN BE
INTERPRETED 'BLASPHEMOUS' WORDS.
00:14:40.21\00:14:44.51
ALRIGHT, AND THIS FINAL BEAST
DANIEL IS REALLY WORRIED ABOUT
00:14:44.55\00:14:47.92
BECAUSE IT PERSECUTES GOD'S
PEOPLE, YOU READ ON IN THE REST
00:14:47.95\00:14:50.85
OF THE CHAPTER THERE.
BUT I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU
00:14:50.89\00:14:52.65
THE FOUNDATION ABOUT THE
BEAST BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO TRY
00:14:52.69\00:14:54.66
TO IDENTIFY THIS BEAST IN
REVELATION - I SHOULD SAY THE
00:14:54.69\00:14:58.49
BEASTS IN REVELATION -
THAT WILL HAVE A PROMINENT ROLE
00:14:58.53\00:15:03.30
IN THE LAST DAYS. AND
SO, WE LEARNED THAT ONE OF
00:15:03.33\00:15:06.37
THOSE BEASTS IN
DANIEL, THE FOURTH BEAST, ALSO
00:15:06.40\00:15:08.54
HAD TEN HORNS.
"...DEVOURING, BREAKING IN
00:15:08.57\00:15:11.77
PIECES, AND TRAMPLING
THE RESIDUE WITH ITS FEET.
00:15:11.81\00:15:14.41
IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM ALL
THE BEASTS THAT WERE BEFORE IT."
00:15:14.44\00:15:17.88
AND SO I WANT YOU TO
NOTICE SOME OF THESE POINTS.
00:15:17.91\00:15:20.05
ALRIGHT, FIRST OF ALL, THESE
CREATURES IN DANIEL, THEY COME
00:15:20.08\00:15:22.52
UP OUT OF THE SEA.
SO WHAT DOES THE WIND
00:15:22.55\00:15:25.95
AND THE SEA REPRESENT?
WELL, WIND, WE TALKED ABOUT THE
00:15:25.99\00:15:29.92
WINDS OF STRIFE THERE, REMEMBER,
IN REVELATION CHAPTER 7.
00:15:29.96\00:15:33.16
IT'S TALKING ABOUT TURMOIL AND
STRIFE, DESTRUCTION, COMMOTION.
00:15:33.19\00:15:37.40
AND WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE
WATERS, THE DEFINITION FOR THESE
00:15:37.43\00:15:40.70
SYMBOLS IS IN THE
BIBLE. THE ANGEL TOLD JOHN, IN
00:15:40.74\00:15:43.87
REVELATION 17, VERSE 15,
"THE WATERS...ARE PEOPLES, AND
00:15:43.91\00:15:48.11
MULTITUDES, AND
NATIONS, AND TONGUES."
00:15:48.14\00:15:50.38
HE'S TALKING ABOUT
VAST NUMBERS OF PEOPLE.
00:15:50.41\00:15:53.15
BY THE WAY, IF YOU READ IN
DANIEL CHAPTER 9 IT SAYS THAT
00:15:53.18\00:15:55.82
THE WICKED POWER WOULD COME LIKE
A FLOOD - TALKING ABOUT A FLOOD
00:15:55.85\00:15:58.69
OF ARMY - A FLOOD OF PEOPLE.
AND SO, THIS BEAST POWER RISES
00:15:58.72\00:16:02.19
UP OUT OF A DENSELY
POPULATED PART OF CIVILIZATION
00:16:02.22\00:16:05.73
AND THE WORLD.
ALRIGHT, NEXT, QUESTION 4: WHAT
00:16:05.76\00:16:09.53
KINGDOM DOES THE LION REPRESENT?
I WANT TO MARCH THROUGH BECAUSE,
00:16:09.56\00:16:12.80
IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE
FOURTH BEAST, YOU'VE GOT TO LOOK
00:16:12.83\00:16:15.64
AT THE SEQUENCE OF HISTORY AND
IT JUST BECOMES REALLY CLEAR.
00:16:15.67\00:16:18.84
WHAT KINGDOM DOES
THE LION REPRESENT?
00:16:18.87\00:16:21.24
THE LION IS BABYLON. IF
YOU LOOK IN CHAPTER 2 OF
00:16:21.28\00:16:26.61
DANIEL, DANIEL MAKES IT
PRETTY CLEAR TO NEBUCHADNEZZAR.
00:16:26.65\00:16:29.58
HE SAID, 'YOU ARE
THAT FIRST PRIMARY KINGDOM.
00:16:29.62\00:16:31.69
YOU ARE THE HEAD OF GOLD.' IT
JUST SAYS BABYLON IS THE LION.
00:16:31.72\00:16:35.06
MATTER OF FACT, IF YOU GO TO
SOME OF THE MUSEUMS, THEY HAVE
00:16:35.09\00:16:38.59
RECOVERED SOME OF THE ANCIENT
GATES FROM BABYLON - I THINK
00:16:38.63\00:16:42.00
THEY CALL IT THE ISHTAR GATE
- AND YOU CAN EVEN SEE THEY HAD
00:16:42.03\00:16:45.30
LIONS WITH WINGS THAT WERE ON -
JUST LIKE IN DANIEL'S VISION, A
00:16:45.33\00:16:49.60
LION WITH TWO WINGS.
WHY DID DANIEL SAY THE LION
00:16:49.64\00:16:51.97
WOULD STAND ON
ITS FEET LIKE A MAN?
00:16:52.01\00:16:54.08
BECAUSE KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR
ENDED UP BEING CONVERTED.
00:16:54.11\00:16:57.41
INSTEAD OF BEING A
BEAST, HE BECAME A SON OF GOD.
00:16:57.45\00:17:01.22
HE BECAME CONVERTED BEFORE THE
END OF HIS LIFE AND HE GLORIFIED
00:17:01.25\00:17:03.42
GOD. IF YOU'VE
READ DANIEL CHAPTER
00:17:03.45\00:17:05.49
4, THAT WOULD BE
IN. WHAT KINGDOM DOES
00:17:05.52\00:17:10.73
THE BEAR REPRESENT? SO
YOU'VE GOT BABYLON, THEN
00:17:10.76\00:17:13.09
YOU'VE GOT THE NEXT KINGDOM.
HE REPRESENTS, IN DANIEL CHAPTER
00:17:13.13\00:17:16.43
7:5, AND WHAT DO THE THREE
RIBS IN HIS MOUTH SYMBOLIZE?
00:17:16.46\00:17:20.37
THIS IS THE MEDO-PERSIAN
KINGDOM, LATER THE PERSIANS,
00:17:20.40\00:17:22.90
THEY WERE MORE POWERFUL AND
THAT'S WHY IT SAYS THE BEAR WAS
00:17:22.94\00:17:25.24
RAISED UP ON ONE SIDE - HE'S
STRONGER ON ONE SIDE - HE'S GOT
00:17:25.27\00:17:28.91
THREE RIBS IN HIS MOUTH.
THIS REPRESENTS THE THREE
00:17:28.94\00:17:31.71
KINGDOMS THAT THE MEDO-PERSIANS
CONQUERED WHEN THEY TOOK THE
00:17:31.75\00:17:35.22
EMPIRE AWAY - THIS
WORLD POWER - FROM BABYLON.
00:17:35.25\00:17:38.79
AND THAT WAS, OF COURSE,
BABYLON, LYDIA, AND EGYPT -
00:17:38.82\00:17:41.49
THAT'S THE THREE
RIBS IN HIS MOUTH.
00:17:41.52\00:17:43.32
AND SO, ALL THESE
THINGS HAPPENED HISTORICALLY.
00:17:43.36\00:17:46.26
NOW, BEFORE I GO ANY FARTHER,
I JUST NEED TO INJECT A THOUGHT.
00:17:46.29\00:17:49.70
THESE BEASTS THAT ARE MENTIONED
HERE IN DANIEL, THEY'RE NOT
00:17:49.73\00:17:53.90
SAYING THEY'RE THE ONLY KINGDOMS
IN THE WORLD, I MEAN, AT THE
00:17:53.94\00:17:56.94
TIME THAT BABYLON RULED, IT WAS
A VAST WORLD EMPIRE, AND SO WERE
00:17:56.97\00:18:00.21
THE GREEKS AND SO
WERE THE PERSIANS.
00:18:00.24\00:18:03.68
IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY, THERE
WERE GREAT EMPIRES - THE INCAS
00:18:03.71\00:18:07.55
IN SOUTH AMERICA, THE TOLTECS
AND YOU HAD THE ROU - KHMER
00:18:07.58\00:18:13.52
EMPIRE AND YOU HAD THE CHINESE,
THE MONGOLS, AND THERE WAS OTHER
00:18:13.56\00:18:17.03
GREAT EMPIRES. THESE
EMPIRES ARE MENTIONED
00:18:17.06\00:18:19.86
BECAUSE THEY ALL
OCCUPIED GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:18:19.89\00:18:22.86
THEY CONTROLLED
THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
00:18:22.90\00:18:25.10
SO THE ONLY EMPIRES THAT ARE
BEING MENTIONED IN THESE VISIONS
00:18:25.13\00:18:28.10
ARE THE ONES THAT HAD A REAL
IMPACT ON THE POLICIES AND THE
00:18:28.14\00:18:32.81
LAND OF ISRAEL,
LATER, GOD'S PEOPLE, OKAY?
00:18:32.84\00:18:36.08
SO THESE ARE THE NATIONS THAT
IT'S DEALING WITH, AND THAT'S
00:18:36.11\00:18:38.65
THE REASON. SO WHAT
KINGDOM IS REPRESENTED
00:18:38.68\00:18:41.02
BY THE LEOPARD WITH
FOUR HEADS? WHAT FOLLOWED THE
00:18:41.05\00:18:45.45
PERSIAN KINGDOM? >>GREECE.
00:18:45.49\00:18:47.39
>>I THINK WE ALL KNOW, ALEXANDER
THE GREAT DEFEATED DARIUS.
00:18:47.42\00:18:50.56
HE WAS THAT NOTABLE HORN THAT
WAS IN THE RAM'S HEAD - OR IN
00:18:50.59\00:18:56.43
THE GOAT'S HEAD - AND THEN HE
ALSO REPRESENTS THE FIRST KING
00:18:56.46\00:19:00.74
OF THE LEOPARD, BUT HE DIED AND
THEN HIS KINGDOM WAS THEN SPREAD
00:19:00.77\00:19:05.11
AMONG HIS FOUR
GENERALS. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT
00:19:05.14\00:19:09.38
THEY HAD A VAST EMPIRE. THE
FOUR GENERALS WHO HEADED THE
00:19:09.41\00:19:13.65
DIVISIONS OF ALEXANDER'S KINGDOM
WERE CASSANDER, LYSIMACHUS,
00:19:13.68\00:19:18.19
PTOLEMY, AND
SELEUCUS. AND SO THESE ARE
00:19:18.22\00:19:21.82
THE FOUR EMPIRES.
YOU CAN SEE THE SCOPE OF
00:19:21.86\00:19:25.03
ALEXANDER'S KINGDOM THERE.
SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT IN JUST TEN
00:19:25.06\00:19:29.00
YEARS HE MARCHED HIS
SOLDIERS 22,000 MILES.
00:19:29.03\00:19:33.27
NOBODY HAS EVER DONE ANYTHING
LIKE THAT IN HISTORY, JUST
00:19:33.30\00:19:36.57
CONQUERING
EVERYTHING EVERY WHERE HE WENT.
00:19:36.60\00:19:38.37
AND HIS APPROACH
WAS VERY DIFFERENT.
00:19:38.41\00:19:39.84
HE DIDN'T JUST WANT TO CONQUER,
HE WANTED TO SPREAD THEIR
00:19:39.87\00:19:42.28
PHILOSOPHY AND WAY OF LIFE.
THEY CALL IT HELLENIZATION.
00:19:42.31\00:19:45.65
THAT'S WHY THE NEW TESTAMENT'S
WRITTEN IN GREEK, BECAUSE THAT
00:19:45.68\00:19:47.92
INFLUENCE EVEN STAYED WITH THE
NEXT EMPIRE THAT WE'RE GOING TO
00:19:47.95\00:19:51.62
GET TO, WHICH IS
OUR NEXT QUESTION.
00:19:51.65\00:19:55.56
WHICH WORLD KINGDOM IS
REPRESENTED BY THE FOURTH BEAST?
00:19:55.59\00:19:59.59
NOW, IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY,
THE WORLD EMPIRE SURROUNDING THE
00:19:59.63\00:20:03.93
MEDITERRANEAN THAT OCCUPIED
ISRAEL - YOU'VE GOT BABYLON,
00:20:03.97\00:20:08.44
YOU'VE GOT MEDO-PERSIA, YOU'VE
GOT GREECE, THEN WHO CONQUERED
00:20:08.47\00:20:13.24
THE GREEKS? >>ROME.
00:20:13.27\00:20:15.14
>>ROME. AND, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S
ALSO INTERESTING IS EACH KINGDOM
00:20:15.18\00:20:19.71
LASTED A LITTLE LONGER
THAN THE ONE BEFORE IT.
00:20:19.75\00:20:23.32
SO THE DEVIL'S LEARNING
SOMETHING ALONG THE WAY AND
00:20:23.35\00:20:25.45
THEY'RE GETTING STRONGER
AND THEY'RE LASTING LONGER.
00:20:25.49\00:20:27.99
YOU CAN READ WHICH KINGDOM IT
WAS, IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE NEW
00:20:28.02\00:20:30.39
TESTAMENT. LUKE 2,
VERSE 1, "AND IT CAME TO
00:20:30.43\00:20:33.19
PASS IN THOSE DAYS THAT A DECREE
WENT OUT FROM CAESAR AUGUSTUS."
00:20:33.23\00:20:37.30
- OCTAVIAN - AUGUSTUS CAESAR
ISSUED THAT DECREE THAT ALL THE
00:20:37.33\00:20:40.64
WORLD SHOULD BE TAXED.
HE WAS THE EMPEROR OF ROME.
00:20:40.67\00:20:44.74
AND SO, THAT'S - BY THE WAY,
WHERE YOU GET THE MONTH AUGUST.
00:20:44.77\00:20:48.11
AND THE REASON FEBRUARY IS SHORT
IS BECAUSE JULIUS CAESAR NAMED A
00:20:48.14\00:20:54.98
MONTH AFTER HIMSELF, THAT'S
CALLED JULY, AND AUGUSTUS CAESAR
00:20:55.02\00:20:58.49
DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS FAIR THAT
JULY WOULD HAVE MORE DAYS AND SO
00:20:58.52\00:21:01.86
HE TOOK SOME DAYS OFF FEBRUARY
TO MAKE SURE AUGUST WAS THE SAME
00:21:01.89\00:21:05.89
LENGTH OF TIME. THAT'S CALLED
TOO MUCH INFORMATION, ISN'T IT?
00:21:05.93\00:21:09.16
(LAUGHTER) OKAY, 'THAT ALL
THE WORLD SHOULD BE REGISTERED'.
00:21:09.20\00:21:13.30
SO, WHY WOULD ROME BE
COMPARED WITH THE TEN HORNS?
00:21:13.34\00:21:19.41
WHY IS IT THE FOURTH
BEAST? WHO WAS RULING THE WORLD
00:21:19.44\00:21:22.78
WHEN JESUS IS BORN? >>ROME.
00:21:22.81\00:21:25.11
>>ROME. IT WAS
ROMAN SOLDIERS THAT
00:21:25.15\00:21:27.95
CRUCIFIED HIM, A ROMAN SPEAR
PIERCED HIS SIDE, THE ROMAN
00:21:27.98\00:21:31.39
NAILS PIERCED HIS HANDS,
ROMAN GUARDS WERE AT THE TOMB.
00:21:31.42\00:21:34.99
ROME WAS THE PRINCIPLE POWER
THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE AT THAT
00:21:35.02\00:21:37.59
TIME, AND ROME WAS VERY INVOLVED
IN ESPECIALLY PERSECUTING THE
00:21:37.63\00:21:41.60
EARLY CHURCH, AS YOU PROBABLY
KNOW FROM JUST YOUR ELEMENTARY
00:21:41.63\00:21:45.77
SCHOOL. YOU ALL
HEARD ABOUT HOW THEY
00:21:45.80\00:21:48.00
USED TO BURN THE
CHRISTIANS IN THE COLOSSEUM.
00:21:48.04\00:21:50.37
SO "THE TEN HORNS WHICH YOU SAW"
- YOU READ IN REVELATION 17:12 -
00:21:50.41\00:21:55.78
"ARE TEN KINGS." WHAT
HAPPENED WHEN ROME, RULED
00:21:55.81\00:21:59.31
BY THE CAESARS, THAT'S BETTER
KNOWN AS PAGAN ROME, WHEN IT
00:21:59.35\00:22:03.55
BEGAN TO FALL BECAUSE THE
BARBARIAN HORDES WERE ATTACKING
00:22:03.59\00:22:06.82
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THEIR REALM,
THEY STARTED LOSING CONTROL.
00:22:06.86\00:22:09.96
THEY HAD PLUNGED INTO SO
MUCH DECADENCE THEY BECAME
00:22:09.99\00:22:12.36
PREOCCUPIED WITH ENTERTAINMENT
- I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THAT.
00:22:12.39\00:22:16.53
IT'S KIND OF HAPPENING TO
US - BECAME SO PREOCCUPIED WITH
00:22:16.56\00:22:19.93
ENTERTAINMENT THAT THE
BARBARIANS STARTED CONQUERING
00:22:19.97\00:22:24.27
THE EDGES OF THE KINGDOM
AND PRETTY SOON ROME FELL.
00:22:24.31\00:22:28.08
IT WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY,
BUT IT FELL PRETTY QUICK -
00:22:28.11\00:22:29.94
ABOUT 476 AD. WHAT WAS
IN ITS PLACE WHEN IT FELL?
00:22:29.98\00:22:34.68
THE ROMAN EMPIRE - AND HERE'S A
MAP THAT REPRESENTS THE VASTNESS
00:22:34.72\00:22:38.59
OF THAT EMPIRE AT ITS ZENITH
- IT THEN DISINTEGRATED AND IT
00:22:38.62\00:22:43.59
LARGELY WAS IN THE
NORTHWESTERN TERRITORY.
00:22:43.63\00:22:47.93
IT FELL INTO TEN DIVISIONS,
THE TEN BRANCHES OF THE ROMAN
00:22:47.96\00:22:52.83
EMPIRE. AND THIS
IS A MAP WITH SOME
00:22:52.87\00:22:55.20
OF THE ANCIENT NAMES OF THOSE
DIVISIONS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
00:22:55.24\00:22:59.14
YOU MIGHT KNOW THEM BY
SOME OF THE MODERN NAMES.
00:22:59.17\00:23:02.24
YOU HAVE THE ALEMANNI,
ANY OF YOU SPEAK SPANISH?
00:23:02.28\00:23:05.98
HOW DO YOU SAY
'GERMAN'? >>ALEMAN.
00:23:06.01\00:23:07.85
>>ALEMAN, YEAH. SO YOU'VE GOT
THE ALEMANNI WERE THE GERMAN,
00:23:07.88\00:23:11.09
THE FRANKS WERE THE FRENCH, THE
ANGLO-SAXONS WERE THE ENGLISH,
00:23:11.12\00:23:15.79
THE SUEVI WAS PORTUGAL, THE
LOMBARDS - ITALY, THE VISIGOTHS
00:23:15.82\00:23:19.83
- SPAIN - AND THEN YOU'LL NOTICE
THREE THAT YOU DON'T HEAR FROM
00:23:19.86\00:23:22.73
MUCH ANYMORE. WE'VE GOT
ALL THE OTHERS ARE STILL THERE.
00:23:22.76\00:23:25.57
YOU'VE GOT THE VANDALS,
THE HERULI, AND THE OSTRAGOTHS.
00:23:25.60\00:23:29.77
NOW THE VANDALS
WERE IN NORTH AFRICA.
00:23:29.80\00:23:32.37
YOU EVER HEARD OF VANDALISM?
THERE WERE A LOT OF CHRISTIANS
00:23:32.41\00:23:36.08
THAT SPREAD THROUGH THE ROMAN
EMPIRE, BECAUSE EVEN BEFORE PAUL
00:23:36.11\00:23:39.05
WAS DEAD, HE SAID THE
GOSPEL'S GONE TO EVERY CREATURE.
00:23:39.08\00:23:41.08
HE MEANT
THROUGHOUT THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
00:23:41.12\00:23:42.75
THERE WERE CHRISTIANS
ALL THROUGH NORTH AFRICA.
00:23:42.78\00:23:45.05
AND WHEN THE CHRISTIANS IN
ROME BEGAN TO GET INVOLVED IN
00:23:45.09\00:23:48.62
IDOLATRY, THE CHRISTIANS
IN NORTH AFRICA SAID, 'THAT'S
00:23:48.66\00:23:53.09
AGAINST THE LAW.' AND THEY
WOULD DEFACE THE ROMAN GODS.
00:23:53.13\00:23:57.13
THEY CALLED IT 'VANDALISM'.
SO WHENEVER ANYBODY IN ROME
00:23:57.17\00:24:00.70
BROKE THE ARMS OFF - YOU EVER
SEE ROMAN STATUES AND THEY'RE
00:24:00.74\00:24:03.17
MISSING AN ARM AND THE NOSE
IS GONE - A LOT OF THAT WAS DONE
00:24:03.20\00:24:05.44
BY VANDALS THAT
SAID, 'THIS IS IDOLATRY.
00:24:05.47\00:24:08.38
YOU'RE WORSHIPING THESE ROMAN
GODS.' BUT THOSE KINGDOMS WERE
00:24:08.41\00:24:12.11
LATER ATTACKED.
ALRIGHT, SO BEFORE I LEAVE
00:24:12.15\00:24:15.18
DANIEL I WANT YOU
TO NOTICE SOMETHING.
00:24:15.22\00:24:17.32
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE BIBLE
SCHOLARS, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT
00:24:17.35\00:24:20.26
THERE ARE SOME SIMILARITIES
BETWEEN DANIEL 2, WHERE THERE'S
00:24:20.29\00:24:24.56
THIS IMAGE OUTLINING
THE KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD.
00:24:24.59\00:24:27.36
THAT PROPHECY IS GIVEN IN A
GREAT IDOL THAT IS THE DES -
00:24:27.40\00:24:31.40
IT'S THEN DESTROYED. IT'S
A GREAT IDOL WITH A HEAD OF
00:24:31.43\00:24:33.77
GOLD AND ARMS OF SILVER AND
A BELLY OF BRONZE AND LEGS OF
00:24:33.80\00:24:36.94
IRON AND FEET OF IRON AND
CLAY. IN THE FOURTH BEAST, WHAT
00:24:36.97\00:24:41.34
KIND OF TEETH
DID IT HAVE? >>IRON.
00:24:41.38\00:24:43.31
>>IRON TEETH. AND IN
THE TOES YOU'VE GOT IRON
00:24:43.35\00:24:48.52
AND CLAY AND THERE'S TEN
TOES. AND SO, YOU'LL SEE THAT
00:24:48.55\00:24:50.99
THERE'S SIMILARITIES.
RIGHT AWAY YOU'LL NOTICE,
00:24:51.02\00:24:53.52
BETWEEN DANIEL 2, DANIEL 7,
REVELATION 13, REVELATION 12 -
00:24:53.56\00:25:00.50
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT ALL OF
THESE THINGS ARE TALKING ABOUT
00:25:00.53\00:25:03.20
THE SAME WORLD POWERS
THAT WOULD IMPACT GOD'S KINGDOM
00:25:03.23\00:25:06.77
IN THE LAST DAYS. AND
SO, IF YOU LOOK NOW IN -
00:25:06.80\00:25:13.21
QUESTION #9: IN THE DANIEL
7 PROPHECY, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
00:25:13.24\00:25:20.88
IT SAYS, "I CONSIDERED" - AND I
STARTED READING THIS TO YOU - "I
00:25:20.92\00:25:24.09
CONSIDERED THE HORNS, AND,
BEHOLD, THERE CAME UP AMONG THEM
00:25:24.12\00:25:27.22
ANOTHER LITTLE HORN.
BEFORE WHOM THERE WERE THREE OF
00:25:27.26\00:25:31.86
THE FIRST HORNS PLUCKED UP
BY THE ROOTS:" - SO YOU'VE GOT
00:25:31.89\00:25:34.56
THESE TEN DIVISIONS OF THE
ROMAN EMPIRE AND IT INCLUDED THE
00:25:34.56\00:25:37.97
VANDALS, THE
HERULI, AND THE OSTRAGOTHS.
00:25:38.00\00:25:40.74
BUT WHEN THIS LITTLE HORN POWER
COMES UP THAT SPEAKS GREAT WORDS
00:25:40.77\00:25:44.37
AGAINST THE MOST HIGH AND WEARS
OUT THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH
00:25:44.41\00:25:47.44
AND THINKS TO CHANGE TIMES AND
LAWS, THAT POWER, WHEN IT COMES
00:25:47.48\00:25:51.85
UP, IT UPROOTS THREE. MAKE A
NOTE OF THAT. I'M GOING TO SHOW
00:25:51.88\00:25:56.12
YOU, HISTORICALLY,
HOW THAT WAS FULFILLED.
00:25:56.15\00:25:58.42
"AND, BEHOLD, IN THIS HORN WERE
EYES LIKE THE EYES OF A MAN," -
00:25:58.45\00:26:01.42
SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS
POWER - "AND A MOUTH SPEAKING" -
00:26:01.46\00:26:04.29
POMPOUS WORDS OR
- "GREAT THINGS."
00:26:04.33\00:26:07.93
SO HOW IS THE BEAST IN
REVELATION 13, NOW, SIMILAR TO
00:26:07.96\00:26:11.33
THE VISION IN DANIEL CHAPTER 7?
IT SAYS, "NOW THE BEAST WHICH I
00:26:11.37\00:26:15.44
SAW WAS LIKE A LEOPARD, HIS FEET
WERE LIKE THE FEET OF A BEAR.
00:26:15.47\00:26:18.81
AND HIS MOUTH LIKE
THE MOUTH OF A LION."
00:26:18.84\00:26:21.68
NOW, DID YOU SEE, IN DANIEL 7,
A LION, A BEAR, AND A LEOPARD?
00:26:21.71\00:26:28.08
THAT MEANS THIS BEAST IS ALL
BUILT ON THE HISTORY OF THOSE
00:26:28.12\00:26:31.85
FOUR MAIN KINGDOMS.
THERE'S A CONNECTION HERE.
00:26:31.89\00:26:34.26
YOU MIGHT NOTICE THAT, IN
DANIEL, IT SAYS, 'LION, BEAR,
00:26:34.29\00:26:40.93
LEOPARD.' IN REVELATION
IS SAYS, LEOPARD, BEAR, LION.
00:26:40.96\00:26:46.70
IT'S OPPOSITE. WHY? VERY
SIMPLE, BECAUSE DANIEL IS
00:26:46.74\00:26:49.94
LOOKING FORWARD IN HIS PROPHECY.
JOHN IS NOW LOOKING BACK.
00:26:49.97\00:26:54.04
SO YOU'VE GOT THE EXACT
SAME SEQUENCE, TOO, FROM THEIR
00:26:54.08\00:26:56.08
PERSPECTIVE. AND SO,
IT'S TALKING ABOUT THESE
00:26:56.11\00:26:59.88
POWERS THAT HAD OCCUPIED GOD'S
PEOPLE AND PERSECUTED GOD'S
00:26:59.91\00:27:03.72
PEOPLE IN THE JEWISH HISTORY.
AND THEN THERE'S A NEW POWER
00:27:03.75\00:27:07.16
THAT WAS HAPPENING IN
REVELATION RIGHT DURING THE TIME
00:27:07.19\00:27:10.23
WHEN JOHN WROTE
IT. ROME WAS IN POWER.
00:27:10.26\00:27:13.03
JOHN WAS A PRISONER ON THE ISLE
OF PATMOS, BY THE KINGDOM OF
00:27:13.06\00:27:17.00
ROME, FOR HIS FAITH. AND
IT SAYS - IN THIS BEAST, IT
00:27:17.03\00:27:22.20
SAYS, "HIS MOUTH LIKE THE MOUTH
OF A LION. THE DRAGON GAVE HIM
00:27:22.24\00:27:25.84
HIS POWER, HIS
THRONE, AND GREAT AUTHORITY."
00:27:25.87\00:27:30.08
NOW, WE ALL KNOW THAT THE
DRAGON, OF COURSE, BEHIND THE
00:27:30.11\00:27:33.11
DRAGON YOU'VE GOT THE DEVIL -
CALLS HIM THE OLD SERPENT, THE
00:27:33.15\00:27:35.65
DRAGON - BUT THE DRAGON WAS
OPERATING THROUGH THE POWER OF
00:27:35.68\00:27:38.85
ROME. WHEN IT SAYS
THE DRAGON TRIED TO
00:27:38.89\00:27:41.72
DEVOUR THE MAN CHILD
AS SOON AS IT WAS BORN.
00:27:41.76\00:27:45.03
WELL, THE ROMAN POWER - THE
DEVIL USED THE ROMAN POWER TO
00:27:45.06\00:27:47.83
DESTROY JESUS - OR TRY TO
DESTROY HIM - WHEN HE WAS A
00:27:47.86\00:27:50.33
BABY. SO, THE DEVIL WAS WORKING
00:27:50.37\00:27:53.00
THROUGH ROME WHEN
CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED.
00:27:53.03\00:27:55.84
THE DEVIL WAS USING THAT KINGDOM
TO PERSECUTE CHRISTIANITY,
00:27:55.87\00:27:59.17
BUT IT WAS THE
KINGDOM OF PAGAN ROME.
00:27:59.21\00:28:02.91
BUT PAGAN ROME THEN GOES
THROUGH A CHANGE WHEN IT FALLS.
00:28:02.94\00:28:10.99
