AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:03.40\00:00:09.44
>>THERE ARE FEW HUMANS WHOSE
INTELLECT COULD MATCH THE GENIUS
00:00:09.47\00:00:12.77
OF LEONARDO DA VINCI, ONE OF THE
GREATEST ARTISTS AND INVENTORS
00:00:12.81\00:00:16.48
OF ALL TIME.
PROBABLY, HE'S MOST RENOWN
00:00:16.51\00:00:19.61
FOR HIS MONA LISA PAINTING.
LEONARDO ALSO EXCELLED IN THE
00:00:19.65\00:00:24.35
FIELDS OF SCIENCE, OPTICS,
ENGINEERING, ANATOMY, BOTANY,
00:00:24.39\00:00:29.99
ARCHITECTURE, GEOLOGY, ZOOLOGY,
MECHANICS, AND MANY MORE.
00:00:30.03\00:00:35.43
IN MANY OF THESE AREAS HE
WAS FAR AHEAD OF HIS TIME.
00:00:35.46\00:00:39.77
FOR EXAMPLE, HE DREW DESIGNS
THAT WERE THE EQUIVALENT OF A
00:00:39.80\00:00:43.34
HELICOPTER, ONE FOR A PARACHUTE,
A DIVING SUIT, AN ARMORED TANK,
00:00:43.37\00:00:48.04
AND MANY OTHER FASCINATING
INVENTIONS OF OUR DAY.
00:00:48.08\00:00:51.31
HE EVEN BUILT A ROBOT CAPABLE OF
WALKING, SITTING, AND MOVING ITS
00:00:51.35\00:00:55.18
JAW - AND SOME OF HIS ROBOTIC
CONCEPTS ARE CURRENTLY BEING PUT
00:00:55.22\00:00:59.29
TO USE IN ROBOTS FOR
SPACE EXPLORATION TODAY.
00:00:59.32\00:01:02.62
LOOKING BACK, IT ALMOST SEEMS
LIKE LEONARDO COULD SEE INTO THE
00:01:02.66\00:01:06.63
FUTURE. WE
MIGHT WONDER IF ANYONE
00:01:06.66\00:01:09.56
REALLY CAN PREDICT THE
FUTURE. IN ANCIENT BABYLON, THE
00:01:09.60\00:01:13.20
PROPHET DANIEL INFORMED KING
NEBUCHADNEZZAR ABOUT THE GOD OF
00:01:13.23\00:01:16.67
HEAVEN WHO REVEALED THE DEEP
AND SECRET THINGS OF THE FUTURE.
00:01:16.71\00:01:20.64
SO JOIN ME NOW, FRIENDS, AS WE
DISCOVER WHAT GOD'S WORD REALLY
00:01:20.68\00:01:23.78
SAYS ABOUT THE MYSTERIOUS BEASTS
FROM THE PROPHECIES OF DANIEL
00:01:23.81\00:01:28.42
AND REVELATION.
00:01:28.45\00:01:33.86
>>A LITTLE WHILE AGO - A FEW
YEARS AGO - A TEENAGE GIRL IN
00:01:33.89\00:01:37.53
VIRGINIA WAS KIND OF SHOCKED
WHEN SHE SAW, IN HER BACKYARD, A
00:01:37.56\00:01:41.96
TURTLE WITH TWO HEADS. >>WOW.
00:01:42.00\00:01:44.57
>>AND SHE FELT SORRY FOR
THE POOR THING AND WAS A LITTLE
00:01:44.60\00:01:48.50
SHOCKED AND DIDN'T
KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO REACT.
00:01:48.54\00:01:50.31
SHE TRIED TO FEED IT SOME
LETTUCE AND BOTH HEADS WERE SORT
00:01:50.34\00:01:52.71
OF FIGHTING FOR THE
LETTUCE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
00:01:52.74\00:01:55.38
TWO-HEADEDNESS IS NOT
COMPLETELY UNHEARD OF IN THE
00:01:55.41\00:01:59.31
ANIMAL KINGDOM.
USUALLY THOSE CREATURES DO NOT
00:01:59.35\00:02:01.88
LIVE VERY LONG BECAUSE THEY FEEL
- THE TWO MINDS ARE TELLING THE
00:02:01.92\00:02:07.26
BODY TO DO TWO DIFFERENT THINGS
AND THEY CAN NEVER SEEM TO AGREE
00:02:07.29\00:02:11.06
AND THEY JUST DON'T
SEEM TO SURVIVE IN THE WILD.
00:02:11.09\00:02:14.36
BUT YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING
WITH FOUR HEADS AND YOU'VE NEVER
00:02:14.40\00:02:19.67
SEEN ANYTHING WITH SEVEN
HEADS, BUT THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT
00:02:19.70\00:02:23.71
CREATURES WITH FOUR HEADS AND
SEVEN HEADS AND, IN PARTICULAR,
00:02:23.74\00:02:27.54
THERE'S A CREATURE THAT
KEEPS REAPPEARING IN THE BOOK OF
00:02:27.58\00:02:31.25
REVELATION WITH SEVEN HEADS AND
TEN HORNS, AND YOU'LL FIND THE
00:02:31.28\00:02:35.08
TEN HORNS ON ANOTHER
BEAST IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL.
00:02:35.12\00:02:38.52
AND, AS WE LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE,
YOU'LL SEE THAT THIS IS
00:02:38.55\00:02:42.32
TYPICALLY TALKING
ABOUT THE SAME POWER.
00:02:42.36\00:02:45.63
WE NEED TO IDENTIFY THAT POWER
BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THE MAIN
00:02:45.66\00:02:48.83
PLAYERS IN THE LAST DAYS.
THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT IS
00:02:48.86\00:02:51.60
DEALING WITH THE
SUBJECT A WOMAN RIDES A BEAST .
00:02:51.63\00:02:55.60
AND THIS HEARKENS FROM A
PROPHECY AND A PICTURE THAT
00:02:55.64\00:02:58.41
YOU'LL FIND IN REVELATION 17.
00:02:58.44\00:03:01.08
NOW, IN THIS PRESENTATION,
IN PARTICULAR, WE'RE GOING TO BE
00:03:01.11\00:03:03.45
TALKING ABOUT, 'WHAT IS THIS
BEAST THAT KEEPS REAPPEARING IN
00:03:03.48\00:03:08.78
THE BOOKS OF
REVELATION AND DANIEL?'
00:03:08.82\00:03:12.29
IF YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES
YOU'LL WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT
00:03:12.32\00:03:13.72
REVELATION CHAPTER 17 AND THERE
IT SAYS, "SO HE CARRIED ME AWAY
00:03:13.76\00:03:18.79
IN THE SPIRIT
INTO THE WILDERNESS.
00:03:18.83\00:03:22.33
AND I SAW A WOMAN SITTING ON A
SCARLET BEAST WHICH WAS FULL OF
00:03:22.36\00:03:26.77
NAMES OF BLASPHEMY, HAVING
SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS."
00:03:26.80\00:03:32.27
NOW, WE DISCUSSED THIS EARLIER
AND WE'LL GIVE YOU SOME MORE
00:03:32.31\00:03:34.54
SCRIPTURES FOR IT, BUT IN THESE
BIBLE SYMBOLS A WOMAN REPRESENTS
00:03:34.58\00:03:38.41
A CHURCH. 'HUSBANDS
LOVE YOUR WIVES,' PAUL
00:03:38.45\00:03:41.78
SAYS, 'EVEN AS CHRIST LOVED THE
CHURCH AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR IT.
00:03:41.82\00:03:45.75
I'VE LIKENED THE DAUGHTER OF
ZION TO A DELICATE AND COMELY
00:03:45.79\00:03:48.69
WOMAN.' ALL
THROUGH THE OLD TESTAMENT
00:03:48.72\00:03:50.79
GOD COMPARES
ISRAEL TO HIS BRIDE.
00:03:50.83\00:03:54.30
SO HIS PEOPLE - IT'S
OFTEN IDENTIFIED WITH A WOMAN.
00:03:54.36\00:03:57.03
YOU'VE GOT TWO DIFFERENT KINDS
OF WOMAN THAT ARE THERE, BOTH IN
00:03:57.07\00:03:59.83
THE OLD AND THE NEW TESTAMENT,
THE FAITHFUL AND THE UNFAITHFUL,
00:03:59.87\00:04:04.14
AND THIS WOMAN IS, EVIDENTLY,
NOT THE FAITHFUL ONE BECAUSE IT
00:04:04.17\00:04:08.48
SAYS SHE'S GOT A PARAGRAPH
ON HER FOREHEAD THAT SAYS,
00:04:08.51\00:04:11.31
'MOTHER OF
HARLOTS'. THAT WOULD SORT OF
00:04:11.35\00:04:12.65
BE A CLUE, RIGHT?
SHE'S NOT THE FAITHFUL WIFE.
00:04:12.68\00:04:16.58
NOW, YOU SEE THESE TWO WOMEN
IDENTIFIED THERE IN REVELATION -
00:04:16.62\00:04:19.52
REVELATION 12
YOU'VE GOT THE GOOD ONE.
00:04:19.55\00:04:22.09
SO, WHAT'S THE CONNECTION NOW
BETWEEN THE WOMAN IN REVELATION
00:04:22.12\00:04:26.86
12 - THERE'S ANOTHER
BEAST THAT APPEARS TO HER.
00:04:26.90\00:04:30.40
YOU LOOK IN REVELATION 12, VERSE
3, "AND THERE APPEARED ANOTHER
00:04:30.43\00:04:33.30
WONDER IN HEAVEN: AND BEHOLD
A GREAT RED DRAGON - SAME AS THE
00:04:33.34\00:04:37.51
SCARLET THAT YOU FIND IN
REVELATION 17 - "HAVING SEVEN
00:04:37.54\00:04:41.04
HEADS AND TEN HORNS," - SAME
BEAST - "AND SEVEN CROWNS UPON
00:04:41.08\00:04:45.15
HIS HEADS." AND IT GOES ON TO
SAY THAT THIS BEAST IS TRYING TO
00:04:45.18\00:04:49.68
ATTACK THIS WOMAN. SO
HERE IN REVELATION 17 YOU'VE
00:04:49.72\00:04:52.52
GOT THIS RED SEVEN-HEADED
TEN-HORNED BEAST THE
00:04:52.55\00:04:55.66
WOMAN IS RIDING THE
BEAST. THEY'RE IN COOPERATION.
00:04:55.69\00:04:59.36
AND THEN YOU GO TO REVELATION
12, THAT SAME BEAST IS TRYING TO
00:04:59.39\00:05:02.53
DESTROY THIS WOMAN.
SHE'S CLOTHED WITH LIGHT -
00:05:02.56\00:05:05.37
THE SYMBOL OF GOD'S
CHURCH. I HAVE ANOTHER STUDY
00:05:05.40\00:05:07.20
TALKING ABOUT THAT. NOW
GO TO REVELATION 13 - YOU
00:05:07.24\00:05:11.77
KNOW REVELATION 13 -
YOU'VE HEARD OF 6-6-6?
00:05:11.81\00:05:14.64
>>YEAH. >>MARK OF THE BEAST?
00:05:14.68\00:05:16.21
THAT'S REVELATION 13. AND
YOU CAN READ THERE, IT SAYS,
00:05:16.24\00:05:20.62
"AND I SAW A BEAST RISING UP OUT
OF THE SEA," - NOTICE THE SEA
00:05:20.65\00:05:24.62
- "HAVING SEVEN HEADS AND
TEN HORNS" - SOUND FAMILIAR?
00:05:24.65\00:05:30.06
- "AND ON HIS HORNS TEN CROWNS,
AND ON HIS HEADS A BLASPHEMOUS
00:05:30.09\00:05:34.13
NAME." BLASPHEMY IS WHEN SOMEONE
00:05:34.20\00:05:36.73
IS DEGRADING GOD BY PUTTING
THEMSELVES IN THE PLACE OF GOD
00:05:36.77\00:05:40.64
OR CLAIMING THE PREROGATIVES OF
GOD. AND SO, YOU NOTICE THAT THE
00:05:40.67\00:05:44.61
WOMAN, NAMES OF BLASPHEMY -
DANIEL 7 TALKS ABOUT THIS BEAST
00:05:44.64\00:05:48.81
POWER AS BLASPHEMY AND HERE
YOU SEE THAT CREATURE AGAIN.
00:05:48.84\00:05:53.28
NOW, I JUST NEED TO TELL
EVERYBODY, STRAIGHT UP, AS
00:05:53.31\00:05:56.79
NICELY AS I CAN, THAT - YOU WANT
ME TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, RIGHT?
00:05:56.82\00:06:01.09
>>YEAH. >>PAUL ASKS A QUESTION.
00:06:01.12\00:06:03.76
HE SAID, 'AM I YOUR ENEMY
BECAUSE I TELL YOU THE TRUTH?'
00:06:03.79\00:06:06.96
I HOPE YOU DIDN'T COME BECAUSE
YOU JUST WANT ME TO PREACH
00:06:07.00\00:06:09.36
SMOOTH THINGS. YOU
WANT TO KNOW, 'WHAT
00:06:09.40\00:06:10.97
DOES THE BIBLE REALLY SAY?'
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, GOD'S WORD
00:06:11.00\00:06:14.74
IS VERY FAITHFUL TO NOT
ONLY TALK ABOUT THE WAY HE
00:06:14.77\00:06:17.71
WOULD BLESS HIS PEOPLE.
AND THERE WERE MANY TIMES GOD'S
00:06:17.74\00:06:20.48
PEOPLE WERE FAITHFUL AND
THERE WERE MIRACLES WROUGHT.
00:06:20.51\00:06:22.68
HE SAID, 'ONE OF YOU WILL CHASE
A THOUSAND.' AND THEN HE SAID,
00:06:22.71\00:06:26.72
'YOU'LL TURN FROM ME.
YOU'LL WORSHIP OTHER GODS.'
00:06:26.75\00:06:29.05
AND HE PROPHESIED
THEIR UNFAITHFULNESS.
00:06:29.08\00:06:31.89
AND THE WORD THAT GOD USED, HE
SAID, 'YOU WILL GO WHORING AFTER
00:06:31.92\00:06:35.09
OTHER GODS.' HE'S
TALKING ABOUT HIS PEOPLE.
00:06:35.12\00:06:39.46
NOW, HE ALSO DOES THAT
IN NEW TESTAMENT TIMES.
00:06:39.49\00:06:43.87
EVEN PAUL SAID, 'I KNOW, AFTER
MY DEPARTURE, GRIEVOUS WOLVES
00:06:43.90\00:06:46.57
WILL COME IN NOT
SPARING THE FLOCK.
00:06:46.60\00:06:48.60
FROM AMONG YOUR OWN SELVES
PEOPLE WILL ARISE SPEAKING
00:06:48.64\00:06:51.64
PERVERSE THINGS TO DRAW AWAY
DISCIPLES AFTER THEMSELVES.' SO,
00:06:51.67\00:06:55.51
EVEN PAUL PREDICTED SOMETHING'S
GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE CHURCH.
00:06:55.54\00:06:57.81
THE DEVIL IS GOING TO COME AFTER
THE CHURCH AND THERE'S GOING TO
00:06:57.85\00:07:00.42
BE MAJOR UNFAITHFULNESS.
WELL, I'M GOING TO TELL YOU
00:07:00.45\00:07:05.15
RIGHT NOW, IN REVELATION CHAPTER
13 - IT'S NOT JUST ONE BEAST -
00:07:05.19\00:07:08.82
REVELATION CHAPTER 13, THERE ARE
TWO BEASTS. DID YOU KNOW THAT?
00:07:08.86\00:07:12.09
WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THE MARK OF
THE BEAST - CHAPTER ACTUALLY HAS
00:07:12.13\00:07:14.20
TWO BEASTS. YOU SEE
IN CHAPTER 13, FIRST FEW
00:07:14.20\00:07:17.63
VERSES TALKS ABOUT THE FIRST
BEAST. LATER ON, YOU GET TO
00:07:17.67\00:07:21.44
VERSE 11, IT SAYS, 'AND
THEN I SAW A SECOND BEAST.'
00:07:21.47\00:07:24.01
I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, I'M
NOT TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE, I'M
00:07:24.04\00:07:27.94
TALKING ABOUT SYSTEMS AND
AREAS WHERE CHURCHES HAVE BEEN
00:07:27.98\00:07:33.11
DISOBEDIENT. AND THIS HAS
BEEN FORETOLD IN PROPHECY.
00:07:33.15\00:07:37.32
SO YOU WANT ME TO
KEEP GOING? >>YES.
00:07:37.35\00:07:39.09
>>I JUST - I
WANT TO BE FAITHFUL.
00:07:39.12\00:07:40.36
I WANT TO BE KIND, BUT I DON'T
WANT TO MINCE WORDS WITH YOU.
00:07:40.39\00:07:43.93
SO WITH THAT BACKGROUND,
YOU'VE GOT THIS BEAST THAT KEEPS
00:07:43.96\00:07:46.93
APPEARING -
SEVEN HEADS, TEN HORNS.
00:07:46.96\00:07:49.13
WE'RE GOING TO FIND
OUT 'WHO IS THIS BEAST?'
00:07:49.16\00:07:51.10
IT'S ALSO KNOW
AS 'THE ANTICHRIST'.
00:07:51.13\00:07:53.23
NOW, THE WORD 'ANTICHRIST'
MEANS 'AGAINST CHRIST'.
00:07:53.27\00:07:57.04
HOW MANY TIMES DOES THE
WORD 'ANTICHRIST' APPEAR IN
00:07:57.07\00:07:58.71
REVELATION? NOT AT ALL. I
TOLD YOU THAT EARLIER - IT'S
00:07:58.74\00:08:03.41
ONLY IN THE LETTERS OF JOHN.
AND JOHN SAYS THERE ALREADY WERE
00:08:03.45\00:08:08.05
MANY ANTICHRISTS, EVEN IN HIS
DAY. SO THE WORD 'ANTICHRIST'
00:08:08.08\00:08:11.22
CAN BE USED BROADLY, BUT
THE MAIN BEAST IS ALSO CALLED
00:08:11.25\00:08:14.16
'THE ANTICHRIST'.
IT'S LIKE THE INDUSTRIAL
00:08:14.19\00:08:17.19
STRENGTH ANTICHRIST ON
STEROIDS THAT YOU FIND THERE
00:08:17.23\00:08:19.83
THROUGH THE BOOK.
ALRIGHT, SO LET'S FIND
00:08:19.86\00:08:22.10
OUT FIRST ABOUT BEASTS.
QUESTION #1: WHAT DOES A
00:08:22.13\00:08:25.47
BEAST REPRESENT IN
PROPHECY? WE'RE GOING TO LET THE
00:08:25.50\00:08:28.84
BIBLE EXPLAIN ITSELF. IF
YOU LOOK, FOR INSTANCE, IN
00:08:28.87\00:08:32.17
DANIEL CHAPTER 7, VERSE 17, IT
SAYS, "THOSE GREAT BEASTS, WHICH
00:08:32.21\00:08:36.85
ARE FOUR, ARE FOUR KINGS
WHICH ARISE OUT OF THE EARTH."
00:08:36.88\00:08:40.95
NOT JUST KINGS, BUT IT ALSO
INCLUDES KINGDOMS - THOSE GREAT
00:08:40.98\00:08:44.32
BEASTS WHICH ARE FOUR - OR, "THE
FOURTH BEAST" - RATHER - "SHALL
00:08:44.35\00:08:47.32
BE THE FOURTH KINGDOM" - SO
YOU'VE GOT - IT'S KINGS - IT'S
00:08:47.36\00:08:50.73
KINGDOMS - IT'S
TALKING ABOUT POWERS.
00:08:50.76\00:08:52.69
LOOK IN DANIEL 8, VERSE 20 AND
YOU'LL SEE THERE WHERE THERE'S
00:08:52.73\00:08:56.03
THIS VISION OF SHEEP AND GOATS
AND IT SAYS, 'THE RAM WHICH YOU
00:08:56.06\00:09:00.27
SAW, HAVING THE TWO HORNS -
THEY ARE THE KINGS OF MEDIA AND
00:09:00.30\00:09:04.91
PERSIA, AND THE MALE GOAT
IS THE KINGDOM OF GREECE."
00:09:04.94\00:09:09.34
SO HERE IT'S GOT A GOAT THAT
REPRESENTS - AND IT SAYS THE
00:09:09.38\00:09:12.68
HORN BETWEEN HIS
EYES IS THE FIRST KING.
00:09:12.71\00:09:16.22
LATER WE LEARN
THAT'S ALEXANDER THE GREAT.
00:09:16.25\00:09:18.69
IT MAKES IT PRETTY CLEAR.
SO, YOU KNOW, IF - TODAY, DO
00:09:18.72\00:09:23.39
WE SOMETIMES USE COUNTRIES
TO ILLUSTRATE - OR ANIMALS
00:09:23.43\00:09:26.06
TO ILLUSTRATE
COUNTRIES? IF I SAY 'BEAR' WHAT
00:09:26.09\00:09:29.26
COUNTRY DO YOU
THINK OF? >>RUSSIA.
00:09:29.30\00:09:30.87
>>RUSSIA. AND, IF I SAY
EAGLE - >>UNITED STATES.
00:09:30.90\00:09:33.57
>>THE UNITED
STATES. AND THE LION IS -
00:09:33.60\00:09:36.77
GREAT BRITAIN, EXACTLY.
SO, IT'S NOT NEW OR UNUSUAL.
00:09:36.81\00:09:41.44
COUNTRIES HAVE DONE THAT AND SO
GOD DOES THIS ALSO IN PROPHECY.
00:09:41.48\00:09:45.11
ALRIGHT, QUESTION 2: IS THERE
A BEAST WITH TEN HORNS IN DANIEL
00:09:45.15\00:09:49.42
CHAPTER 7. NOW
WE'RE JUMPING TO THE OLD
00:09:49.45\00:09:52.42
TESTAMENT AND I JUST
WANT TO MAKE SURE WE SET THE
00:09:52.45\00:09:54.62
FOUNDATION FOR REVELATION.
YOU REMEMBER WHAT I SAID, OUT
00:09:54.66\00:09:57.39
OF 404 VERSES IN THE BOOK
OF REVELATION, 278 OF THEM ARE
00:09:57.43\00:10:02.60
FOUND ALMOST
VERBATIM IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:10:02.63\00:10:05.93
SO, TO UNDERSTAND REVELATION,
IT'S ALL ROOTED IN THE OLD
00:10:05.97\00:10:09.57
TESTAMENT.
YOU'VE GOT TO GO BACK.
00:10:09.60\00:10:12.71
>>DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS,
WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST A MOMENT
00:10:12.74\00:10:15.24
WITH THE REST OF
TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:10:15.28\00:10:17.48
BECAUSE OF ITS MYSTERIOUS
SYMBOLISM, MILLIONS FEEL THAT
00:10:17.51\00:10:21.28
THE BOOK OF REVELATION AND
ITS PROPHECIES ARE CONFUSING.
00:10:21.32\00:10:24.62
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED, 'CAN
ANYONE REALLY KNOW FOR CERTAIN
00:10:24.65\00:10:28.12
WHAT ALL THIS SYMBOLISM
MEANS?' WELL, WE CAN KNOW.
00:10:28.16\00:10:32.33

PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME MORE
00:11:19.61\00:11:22.71
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:11:22.74\00:11:27.15
>>LOOK IN DANIEL CHAPTER 7,
VERSES 2 AND 3 AND DANIEL SAYS,
00:11:27.18\00:11:31.32
"...IN MY VISION BY NIGHT,
AND BEHOLD, THE FOUR WINDS OF
00:11:31.35\00:11:35.29
HEAVEN WERE
STIRRING UP THE GREAT SEA."
00:11:35.32\00:11:38.33
- SO IT TALKS ABOUT THESE
WINDS STRIVING - "AND FOUR GREAT
00:11:38.36\00:11:41.36
BEASTS CAME UP FROM THE SEA,
EACH DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER."
00:11:41.40\00:11:45.70
MATTER OF FACT, I'M GOING
TO READ SEVERAL VERSES HERE IN
00:11:45.73\00:11:47.60
DANIEL CHAPTER 7 - IF YOU
BROUGHT YOUR BIBLE WITH YOU, YOU
00:11:47.64\00:11:51.17
MAY WANT TO JOIN ME
AND TURN THERE REAL QUICK.
00:11:51.21\00:11:53.27
LET'S JUST TAKE A LOOK, FOR
INSTANCE, VERSE 3 - DANIEL 7:3 -
00:11:53.31\00:11:56.71
"AND FOUR GREAT BEASTS CAME
UP FROM THE SEA, EACH DIFFERENT
00:11:56.75\00:11:59.15
FROM THE OTHER. THE
FIRST WAS LIKE A LION."
00:11:59.18\00:12:02.08
- LIKE A WHAT? >>LION.
00:12:02.12\00:12:03.59
>>"FIRST WAS LIKE A LION AND IT
HAD EAGLE'S WINGS AND I WATCHED
00:12:03.62\00:12:07.82
UNTIL THE WINGS WERE PLUCKED
OFF: AND IT WAS LIFTED UP FROM
00:12:07.86\00:12:10.56
THE EARTH AND MADE TO STAND ON
TWO FEET LIKE A MAN, AND A MAN'S
00:12:10.59\00:12:13.93
HEART WAS GIVEN TO IT.
AND SUDDENLY ANOTHER BEAST, A
00:12:13.96\00:12:17.17
SECOND LIKE A BEAR IT WAS RAISED
UP ON ONE SIDE, AND HAD THREE
00:12:17.20\00:12:21.20
RIBS IN ITS MOUTH
BETWEEN ITS TEETH.
00:12:21.24\00:12:23.34
AND THEY SAID THUS TO IT:
'ARISE, DEVOUR MUCH FLESH.' AND
00:12:23.37\00:12:27.01
AFTER THIS I LOOKED AND THERE
WAS ANOTHER LIKE A LEOPARD WHICH
00:12:27.04\00:12:30.18
HAD ON ITS BACK FOUR WINGS OF A
BIRD AND THE BEAST ALSO HAD FOUR
00:12:30.21\00:12:34.08
HEADS" - I TOLD YOU, YOU CAN
FIND A BEAST WITH FOUR HEADS IN
00:12:34.12\00:12:36.28
THE BIBLE - "AND
DOMINION WAS GIVEN TO IT."
00:12:36.32\00:12:39.79
AND THEN, NOW THIS IS THE BEAST
THAT IS THE ANTICHRIST - "AND
00:12:39.82\00:12:44.43
THEN, AFTER THIS, I SAW IN
THE NIGHT VISIONS AND BEHOLD, A
00:12:44.46\00:12:47.83
FOURTH BEAST, DREADFUL AND
TERRIBLE, EXCEEDINGLY STRONG.
00:12:47.86\00:12:53.07
IT HAD HUGE IRON TEETH: IT WAS
DEVOURING, BREAKING IN PIECES,
00:12:53.10\00:12:57.44
AND TRAMPLING THE RESIDUE WITH
ITS FEET, IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM
00:12:57.47\00:13:00.48
ALL THE BEASTS THAT WERE BEFORE
IT, AND IT HAD TEN HORNS."
00:13:00.51\00:13:05.41
THAT SOUND FAMILIAR? >>YEP.
00:13:05.45\00:13:07.35
>>I JUST WANT TO
READ A LITTLE FURTHER.
00:13:07.38\00:13:08.68
LET'S GO TO VERSE 8, "I WAS
CONSIDERING THE HORNS, AND THERE
00:13:08.72\00:13:12.95
WAS ANOTHER HORN, A LITTLE ONE,
COMING UP AMONG THEM, BEFORE
00:13:12.99\00:13:16.42
WHOM THREE OF THE FIRST HORNS
WERE PLUCKED OUT BY THE ROOTS."
00:13:16.46\00:13:20.03
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG
AND A KID STARTS GETTING THEIR
00:13:20.06\00:13:21.80
GROWN-UP TEETH AND STARTS
PUSHING OUT THE BABY TEETH, IT'S
00:13:21.83\00:13:24.80
ALMOST THAT KIND OF A PICTURE
THAT THIS LITTLE HORN COMES UP,
00:13:24.83\00:13:27.40
BUT IT'S PUSHING OUT
THREE HORNS AS IT MAKES ITS WAY.
00:13:27.44\00:13:30.87
AND SO - AND IT SAYS, 'IN THIS
HORN' - DON'T MISS THIS - "WERE
00:13:30.91\00:13:35.34
EYES LIKE THE EYES OF A MAN, AND
A MOUTH SPEAKING POMPOUS WORDS."
00:13:35.38\00:13:39.31
OR THAT CAN BE
INTERPRETED 'BLASPHEMOUS' WORDS.
00:13:39.35\00:13:43.65
ALRIGHT, AND THIS FINAL BEAST
DANIEL IS REALLY WORRIED ABOUT
00:13:43.69\00:13:47.06
BECAUSE IT PERSECUTES GOD'S
PEOPLE, YOU READ ON IN THE REST
00:13:47.09\00:13:49.99
OF THE CHAPTER THERE.
BUT I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU
00:13:50.03\00:13:51.79
THE FOUNDATION ABOUT THE
BEAST BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO TRY
00:13:51.83\00:13:53.80
TO IDENTIFY THIS BEAST IN
REVELATION - I SHOULD SAY THE
00:13:53.83\00:13:57.60
BEASTS IN REVELATION -
THAT WILL HAVE A PROMINENT ROLE
00:13:57.63\00:14:02.37
IN THE LAST DAYS. AND
SO, WE LEARNED THAT ONE OF
00:14:02.40\00:14:05.44
THOSE BEASTS IN
DANIEL, THE FOURTH BEAST, ALSO
00:14:05.47\00:14:07.61
HAD TEN HORNS.
"...DEVOURING, BREAKING IN
00:14:07.64\00:14:10.85
PIECES, AND TRAMPLING
THE RESIDUE WITH ITS FEET.
00:14:10.88\00:14:13.48
IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM ALL
THE BEASTS THAT WERE BEFORE IT."
00:14:13.52\00:14:16.95
AND SO I WANT YOU TO
NOTICE SOME OF THESE POINTS.
00:14:16.99\00:14:19.12
ALRIGHT, FIRST OF ALL, THESE
CREATURES IN DANIEL, THEY COME
00:14:19.15\00:14:21.59
UP OUT OF THE SEA.
SO WHAT DOES THE WIND
00:14:21.62\00:14:25.03
AND THE SEA REPRESENT?
WELL, WIND, WE TALKED ABOUT THE
00:14:25.06\00:14:28.96
WINDS OF STRIFE THERE, REMEMBER,
IN REVELATION CHAPTER 7.
00:14:29.00\00:14:32.20
IT'S TALKING ABOUT TURMOIL AND
STRIFE, DESTRUCTION, COMMOTION.
00:14:32.23\00:14:36.47
AND WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE
WATERS, THE DEFINITION FOR THESE
00:14:36.50\00:14:39.77
SYMBOLS IS IN THE
BIBLE. THE ANGEL TOLD JOHN, IN
00:14:39.81\00:14:42.94
REVELATION 17, VERSE 15,
"THE WATERS...ARE PEOPLES, AND
00:14:42.98\00:14:47.18
MULTITUDES, AND
NATIONS, AND TONGUES."
00:14:47.22\00:14:49.45
HE'S TALKING ABOUT
VAST NUMBERS OF PEOPLE.
00:14:49.48\00:14:52.22
BY THE WAY, IF YOU READ IN
DANIEL CHAPTER 9 IT SAYS THAT
00:14:52.25\00:14:54.89
THE WICKED POWER WOULD COME LIKE
A FLOOD - TALKING ABOUT A FLOOD
00:14:54.92\00:14:57.76
OF ARMY - A FLOOD OF PEOPLE.
AND SO, THIS BEAST POWER RISES
00:14:57.79\00:15:01.16
UP OUT OF A DENSELY
POPULATED PART OF CIVILIZATION
00:15:01.20\00:15:04.70
AND THE WORLD.
ALRIGHT, NEXT, QUESTION 4: WHAT
00:15:04.73\00:15:08.54
KINGDOM DOES THE LION REPRESENT?
I WANT TO MARCH THROUGH BECAUSE,
00:15:08.57\00:15:11.81
IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE
FOURTH BEAST, YOU'VE GOT TO LOOK
00:15:11.84\00:15:14.64
AT THE SEQUENCE OF HISTORY AND
IT JUST BECOMES REALLY CLEAR.
00:15:14.68\00:15:17.85
WHAT KINGDOM DOES
THE LION REPRESENT?
00:15:17.88\00:15:20.25
THE LION IS BABYLON. IF
YOU LOOK IN CHAPTER 2 OF
00:15:20.28\00:15:25.62
DANIEL, DANIEL MAKES IT
PRETTY CLEAR TO NEBUCHADNEZZAR.
00:15:25.65\00:15:28.59
HE SAID, 'YOU ARE
THAT FIRST PRIMARY KINGDOM.
00:15:28.62\00:15:30.69
YOU ARE THE HEAD OF GOLD.' IT
JUST SAYS BABYLON IS THE LION.
00:15:30.73\00:15:34.03
MATTER OF FACT, IF YOU GO TO
SOME OF THE MUSEUMS, THEY HAVE
00:15:34.10\00:15:37.57
RECOVERED SOME OF THE ANCIENT
GATES FROM BABYLON - I THINK
00:15:37.60\00:15:41.00
THEY CALL IT THE ISHTAR GATE
- AND YOU CAN EVEN SEE THEY HAD
00:15:41.04\00:15:44.31
LIONS WITH WINGS THAT WERE ON -
JUST LIKE IN DANIEL'S VISION, A
00:15:44.34\00:15:48.61
LION WITH TWO WINGS.
WHY DID DANIEL SAY THE LION
00:15:48.64\00:15:50.98
WOULD STAND ON
ITS FEET LIKE A MAN?
00:15:51.01\00:15:53.08
BECAUSE KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR
ENDED UP BEING CONVERTED.
00:15:53.11\00:15:56.42
INSTEAD OF BEING A
BEAST, HE BECAME A SON OF GOD.
00:15:56.45\00:16:00.22
HE BECAME CONVERTED BEFORE THE
END OF HIS LIFE AND HE GLORIFIED
00:16:00.26\00:16:02.36
GOD. IF YOU'VE
READ DANIEL CHAPTER
00:16:02.39\00:16:04.43
4, THAT WOULD BE
IN. WHAT KINGDOM DOES
00:16:04.46\00:16:09.63
THE BEAR REPRESENT? SO
YOU'VE GOT BABYLON, THEN
00:16:09.66\00:16:12.00
YOU'VE GOT THE NEXT KINGDOM.
HE REPRESENTS, IN DANIEL CHAPTER
00:16:12.03\00:16:15.37
7:5, AND WHAT DO THE THREE
RIBS IN HIS MOUTH SYMBOLIZE?
00:16:15.40\00:16:19.31
THIS IS THE MEDO-PERSIAN
KINGDOM, LATER THE PERSIANS,
00:16:19.34\00:16:21.84
THEY WERE MORE POWERFUL AND
THAT'S WHY IT SAYS THE BEAR WAS
00:16:21.88\00:16:24.18
RAISED UP ON ONE SIDE - HE'S
STRONGER ON ONE SIDE - HE'S GOT
00:16:24.21\00:16:27.85
THREE RIBS IN HIS MOUTH.
THIS REPRESENTS THE THREE
00:16:27.88\00:16:30.65
KINGDOMS THAT THE MEDO-PERSIANS
CONQUERED WHEN THEY TOOK THE
00:16:30.69\00:16:34.16
EMPIRE AWAY - THIS
WORLD POWER - FROM BABYLON.
00:16:34.19\00:16:37.73
AND THAT WAS, OF COURSE,
BABYLON, LYDIA, AND EGYPT -
00:16:37.76\00:16:40.43
THAT'S THE THREE
RIBS IN HIS MOUTH.
00:16:40.46\00:16:42.23
AND SO, ALL THESE
THINGS HAPPENED HISTORICALLY.
00:16:42.26\00:16:45.17
NOW, BEFORE I GO ANY FARTHER,
I JUST NEED TO INJECT A THOUGHT.
00:16:45.20\00:16:48.64
THESE BEASTS THAT ARE MENTIONED
HERE IN DANIEL, THEY'RE NOT
00:16:48.67\00:16:52.84
SAYING THEY'RE THE ONLY KINGDOMS
IN THE WORLD, I MEAN, AT THE
00:16:52.87\00:16:55.88
TIME THAT BABYLON RULED, IT WAS
A VAST WORLD EMPIRE, AND SO WERE
00:16:55.91\00:16:59.08
THE GREEKS AND SO
WERE THE PERSIANS.
00:16:59.11\00:17:02.55
IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY, THERE
WERE GREAT EMPIRES - THE INCAS
00:17:02.58\00:17:06.42
IN SOUTH AMERICA, THE TOLTECS
AND YOU HAD THE ROU - KHMER
00:17:06.45\00:17:12.39
EMPIRE AND YOU HAD THE CHINESE,
THE MONGOLS, AND THERE WAS OTHER
00:17:12.43\00:17:15.86
GREAT EMPIRES. THESE
EMPIRES ARE MENTIONED
00:17:15.90\00:17:18.70
BECAUSE THEY ALL
OCCUPIED GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:17:18.73\00:17:21.74
THEY CONTROLLED
THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
00:17:21.77\00:17:23.97
SO THE ONLY EMPIRES THAT ARE
BEING MENTIONED IN THESE VISIONS
00:17:24.01\00:17:26.98
ARE THE ONES THAT HAD A REAL
IMPACT ON THE POLICIES AND THE
00:17:27.01\00:17:31.68
LAND OF ISRAEL,
LATER, GOD'S PEOPLE, OKAY?
00:17:31.71\00:17:34.95
SO THESE ARE THE NATIONS THAT
IT'S DEALING WITH, AND THAT'S
00:17:34.98\00:17:37.52
THE REASON. SO WHAT
KINGDOM IS REPRESENTED
00:17:37.55\00:17:39.89
BY THE LEOPARD WITH
FOUR HEADS? WHAT FOLLOWED THE
00:17:39.92\00:17:44.33
PERSIAN KINGDOM? >>GREECE.
00:17:44.36\00:17:46.26
>>I THINK WE ALL KNOW, ALEXANDER
THE GREAT DEFEATED DARIUS.
00:17:46.29\00:17:49.40
HE WAS THAT NOTABLE HORN THAT
WAS IN THE RAM'S HEAD - OR IN
00:17:49.43\00:17:55.30
THE GOAT'S HEAD - AND THEN HE
ALSO REPRESENTS THE FIRST KING
00:17:55.34\00:17:59.54
OF THE LEOPARD, BUT HE DIED AND
THEN HIS KINGDOM WAS THEN SPREAD
00:17:59.57\00:18:03.91
AMONG HIS FOUR
GENERALS. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT
00:18:03.95\00:18:08.18
THEY HAD A VAST EMPIRE. THE
FOUR GENERALS WHO HEADED THE
00:18:08.22\00:18:12.45
DIVISIONS OF ALEXANDER'S KINGDOM
WERE CASSANDER, LYSIMACHUS,
00:18:12.49\00:18:16.99
PTOLEMY, AND
SELEUCUS. AND SO THESE ARE
00:18:17.03\00:18:20.63
THE FOUR EMPIRES.
YOU CAN SEE THE SCOPE OF
00:18:20.66\00:18:23.80
ALEXANDER'S KINGDOM THERE.
SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT IN JUST TEN
00:18:23.83\00:18:27.80
YEARS HE MARCHED HIS
SOLDIERS 22,000 MILES.
00:18:27.84\00:18:32.07
NOBODY HAS EVER DONE ANYTHING
LIKE THAT IN HISTORY, JUST
00:18:32.11\00:18:35.38
CONQUERING
EVERYTHING EVERY WHERE HE WENT.
00:18:35.41\00:18:37.18
AND HIS APPROACH
WAS VERY DIFFERENT.
00:18:37.21\00:18:38.65
HE DIDN'T JUST WANT TO CONQUER,
HE WANTED TO SPREAD THEIR
00:18:38.68\00:18:41.08
PHILOSOPHY AND WAY OF LIFE.
THEY CALL IT HELLENIZATION.
00:18:41.12\00:18:44.45
THAT'S WHY THE NEW TESTAMENT'S
WRITTEN IN GREEK, BECAUSE THAT
00:18:44.49\00:18:46.72
INFLUENCE EVEN STAYED WITH THE
NEXT EMPIRE THAT WE'RE GOING TO
00:18:46.76\00:18:50.43
GET TO, WHICH IS
OUR NEXT QUESTION.
00:18:50.46\00:18:54.36
WHICH WORLD KINGDOM IS
REPRESENTED BY THE FOURTH BEAST?
00:18:54.36\00:18:58.37
NOW, IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY,
THE WORLD EMPIRE SURROUNDING THE
00:18:58.40\00:19:02.80
MEDITERRANEAN THAT OCCUPIED
ISRAEL - YOU'VE GOT BABYLON,
00:19:02.84\00:19:07.31
YOU'VE GOT MEDO-PERSIA, YOU'VE
GOT GREECE, THEN WHO CONQUERED
00:19:07.34\00:19:12.11
THE GREEKS? >>ROME.
00:19:12.15\00:19:14.02
>>ROME. AND, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S
ALSO INTERESTING IS EACH KINGDOM
00:19:14.05\00:19:18.59
LASTED A LITTLE LONGER
THAN THE ONE BEFORE IT.
00:19:18.62\00:19:22.19
SO THE DEVIL'S LEARNING
SOMETHING ALONG THE WAY AND
00:19:22.22\00:19:24.33
THEY'RE GETTING STRONGER
AND THEY'RE LASTING LONGER.
00:19:24.36\00:19:26.86
YOU CAN READ WHICH KINGDOM IT
WAS, IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE NEW
00:19:26.90\00:19:29.23
TESTAMENT. LUKE 2,
VERSE 1, "AND IT CAME TO
00:19:29.26\00:19:32.03
PASS IN THOSE DAYS THAT A DECREE
WENT OUT FROM CAESAR AUGUSTUS."
00:19:32.07\00:19:36.17
- OCTAVIAN - AUGUSTUS CAESAR
ISSUED THAT DECREE THAT ALL THE
00:19:36.20\00:19:39.51
WORLD SHOULD BE TAXED.
HE WAS THE EMPEROR OF ROME.
00:19:39.54\00:19:43.61
AND SO, THAT'S - BY THE WAY,
WHERE YOU GET THE MONTH AUGUST.
00:19:43.65\00:19:46.98
AND THE REASON FEBRUARY IS SHORT
IS BECAUSE JULIUS CAESAR NAMED A
00:19:47.02\00:19:53.86
MONTH AFTER HIMSELF, THAT'S
CALLED JULY, AND AUGUSTUS CAESAR
00:19:53.89\00:19:57.36
DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS FAIR THAT
JULY WOULD HAVE MORE DAYS AND SO
00:19:57.39\00:20:00.66
HE TOOK SOME DAYS OFF FEBRUARY
TO MAKE SURE AUGUST WAS THE SAME
00:20:00.70\00:20:04.60
LENGTH OF TIME. THAT'S CALLED
TOO MUCH INFORMATION, ISN'T IT?
00:20:04.63\00:20:07.90
(LAUGHTER) OKAY, 'THAT ALL
THE WORLD SHOULD BE REGISTERED'.
00:20:07.94\00:20:12.04
SO, WHY WOULD ROME BE
COMPARED WITH THE TEN HORNS?
00:20:12.07\00:20:18.15
WHY IS IT THE FOURTH
BEAST? WHO WAS RULING THE WORLD
00:20:18.18\00:20:21.52
WHEN JESUS IS BORN? >>ROME.
00:20:21.55\00:20:23.85
>>ROME. IT WAS
ROMAN SOLDIERS THAT
00:20:23.89\00:20:26.69
CRUCIFIED HIM, A ROMAN SPEAR
PIERCED HIS SIDE, THE ROMAN
00:20:26.72\00:20:30.13
NAILS PIERCED HIS HANDS,
ROMAN GUARDS WERE AT THE TOMB.
00:20:30.16\00:20:33.73
ROME WAS THE PRINCIPLE POWER
THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE AT THAT
00:20:33.76\00:20:36.30
TIME, AND ROME WAS VERY INVOLVED
IN ESPECIALLY PERSECUTING THE
00:20:36.33\00:20:40.34
EARLY CHURCH, AS YOU PROBABLY
KNOW FROM JUST YOUR ELEMENTARY
00:20:40.37\00:20:44.51
SCHOOL. YOU ALL
HEARD ABOUT HOW THEY
00:20:44.54\00:20:46.74
USED TO BURN THE
CHRISTIANS IN THE COLOSSEUM.
00:20:46.78\00:20:49.11
SO "THE TEN HORNS WHICH YOU SAW"
- YOU READ IN REVELATION 17:12 -
00:20:49.14\00:20:54.52
"ARE TEN KINGS." WHAT
HAPPENED WHEN ROME, RULED
00:20:54.55\00:20:58.05
BY THE CAESARS, THAT'S BETTER
KNOWN AS PAGAN ROME, WHEN IT
00:20:58.09\00:21:02.22
BEGAN TO FALL BECAUSE THE
BARBARIAN HORDES WERE ATTACKING
00:21:02.26\00:21:05.49
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THEIR REALM,
THEY STARTED LOSING CONTROL.
00:21:05.53\00:21:08.60
THEY HAD PLUNGED INTO SO
MUCH DECADENCE THEY BECAME
00:21:08.63\00:21:11.00
PREOCCUPIED WITH ENTERTAINMENT
- I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THAT.
00:21:11.03\00:21:15.20
IT'S KIND OF HAPPENING TO
US - BECAME SO PREOCCUPIED WITH
00:21:15.24\00:21:18.61
ENTERTAINMENT THAT THE
BARBARIANS STARTED CONQUERING
00:21:18.64\00:21:22.94
THE EDGES OF THE KINGDOM
AND PRETTY SOON ROME FELL.
00:21:22.98\00:21:26.75
IT WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY,
BUT IT FELL PRETTY QUICK -
00:21:26.78\00:21:28.62
ABOUT 476 AD. WHAT WAS
IN ITS PLACE WHEN IT FELL?
00:21:28.65\00:21:33.36
THE ROMAN EMPIRE - AND HERE'S A
MAP THAT REPRESENTS THE VASTNESS
00:21:33.39\00:21:37.26
OF THAT EMPIRE AT ITS ZENITH
- IT THEN DISINTEGRATED AND IT
00:21:37.29\00:21:42.23
LARGELY WAS IN THE
NORTHWESTERN TERRITORY.
00:21:42.26\00:21:46.57
IT FELL INTO TEN DIVISIONS,
THE TEN BRANCHES OF THE ROMAN
00:21:46.60\00:21:51.51
EMPIRE. AND THIS
IS A MAP WITH SOME
00:21:51.54\00:21:53.88
OF THE ANCIENT NAMES OF THOSE
DIVISIONS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
00:21:53.91\00:21:57.81
YOU MIGHT KNOW THEM BY
SOME OF THE MODERN NAMES.
00:21:57.85\00:22:00.92
YOU HAVE THE ALEMANNI,
ANY OF YOU SPEAK SPANISH?
00:22:00.95\00:22:04.59
HOW DO YOU SAY
'GERMAN'? >>ALEMAN.
00:22:04.62\00:22:06.45
>>ALEMAN, YEAH. SO YOU'VE GOT
THE ALEMANNI WERE THE GERMAN,
00:22:06.49\00:22:09.69
THE FRANKS WERE THE FRENCH, THE
ANGLO-SAXONS WERE THE ENGLISH,
00:22:09.72\00:22:14.36
THE SUEVI WAS PORTUGAL, THE
LOMBARDS - ITALY, THE VISIGOTHS
00:22:14.40\00:22:18.40
- SPAIN - AND THEN YOU'LL NOTICE
THREE THAT YOU DON'T HEAR FROM
00:22:18.43\00:22:21.34
MUCH ANYMORE. WE'VE GOT
ALL THE OTHERS ARE STILL THERE.
00:22:21.37\00:22:24.17
YOU'VE GOT THE VANDALS,
THE HERULI, AND THE OSTRAGOTHS.
00:22:24.21\00:22:28.38
NOW THE VANDALS
WERE IN NORTH AFRICA.
00:22:28.41\00:22:30.98
YOU EVER HEARD OF VANDALISM?
THERE WERE A LOT OF CHRISTIANS
00:22:31.01\00:22:34.68
THAT SPREAD THROUGH THE ROMAN
EMPIRE, BECAUSE EVEN BEFORE PAUL
00:22:34.72\00:22:37.65
WAS DEAD, HE SAID THE
GOSPEL'S GONE TO EVERY CREATURE.
00:22:37.69\00:22:39.69
HE MEANT
THROUGHOUT THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
00:22:39.72\00:22:41.36
THERE WERE CHRISTIANS
ALL THROUGH NORTH AFRICA.
00:22:41.39\00:22:43.66
AND WHEN THE CHRISTIANS IN
ROME BEGAN TO GET INVOLVED IN
00:22:43.69\00:22:47.23
IDOLATRY, THE CHRISTIANS
IN NORTH AFRICA SAID, 'THAT'S
00:22:47.23\00:22:51.67
AGAINST THE LAW.' AND THEY
WOULD DEFACE THE ROMAN GODS.
00:22:51.70\00:22:55.74
THEY CALLED IT 'VANDALISM'.
SO WHENEVER ANYBODY IN ROME
00:22:55.77\00:22:59.24
BROKE THE ARMS OFF - YOU EVER
SEE ROMAN STATUES AND THEY'RE
00:22:59.27\00:23:01.71
MISSING AN ARM AND THE NOSE
IS GONE - A LOT OF THAT WAS DONE
00:23:01.74\00:23:03.98
BY VANDALS THAT
SAID, 'THIS IS IDOLATRY.
00:23:04.01\00:23:06.92
YOU'RE WORSHIPING THESE ROMAN
GODS.' BUT THOSE KINGDOMS WERE
00:23:06.95\00:23:10.65
LATER ATTACKED.
ALRIGHT, SO BEFORE I LEAVE
00:23:10.69\00:23:13.72
DANIEL I WANT YOU
TO NOTICE SOMETHING.
00:23:13.76\00:23:15.86
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE BIBLE
SCHOLARS, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT
00:23:15.89\00:23:18.79
THERE ARE SOME SIMILARITIES
BETWEEN DANIEL 2, WHERE THERE'S
00:23:18.83\00:23:23.06
THIS IMAGE OUTLINING
THE KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD.
00:23:23.10\00:23:25.87
THAT PROPHECY IS GIVEN IN A
GREAT IDOL THAT IS THE DES -
00:23:25.90\00:23:29.94
IT'S THEN DESTROYED. IT'S
A GREAT IDOL WITH A HEAD OF
00:23:29.97\00:23:32.31
GOLD AND ARMS OF SILVER AND
A BELLY OF BRONZE AND LEGS OF
00:23:32.34\00:23:35.48
IRON AND FEET OF IRON AND
CLAY. IN THE FOURTH BEAST, WHAT
00:23:35.51\00:23:39.88
KIND OF TEETH
DID IT HAVE? >>IRON.
00:23:39.91\00:23:41.85
>>IRON TEETH. AND IN
THE TOES YOU'VE GOT IRON
00:23:41.88\00:23:47.06
AND CLAY AND THERE'S TEN
TOES. AND SO, YOU'LL SEE THAT
00:23:47.09\00:23:49.52
THERE'S SIMILARITIES.
RIGHT AWAY YOU'LL NOTICE,
00:23:49.56\00:23:52.06
BETWEEN DANIEL 2, DANIEL 7,
REVELATION 13, REVELATION 12 -
00:23:52.09\00:23:58.93
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT ALL OF
THESE THINGS ARE TALKING ABOUT
00:23:58.97\00:24:01.67
THE SAME WORLD POWERS
THAT WOULD IMPACT GOD'S KINGDOM
00:24:01.70\00:24:05.24
IN THE LAST DAYS. AND
SO, IF YOU LOOK NOW IN -
00:24:05.27\00:24:11.68
QUESTION #9: IN THE DANIEL
7 PROPHECY, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
00:24:11.71\00:24:19.35
IT SAYS, "I CONSIDERED" - AND I
STARTED READING THIS TO YOU - "I
00:24:19.39\00:24:22.56
CONSIDERED THE HORNS, AND,
BEHOLD, THERE CAME UP AMONG THEM
00:24:22.59\00:24:25.69
ANOTHER LITTLE HORN.
BEFORE WHOM THERE WERE THREE OF
00:24:25.73\00:24:30.30
THE FIRST HORNS PLUCKED UP
BY THE ROOTS:" - SO YOU'VE GOT
00:24:30.33\00:24:33.00
THESE TEN DIVISIONS OF THE
ROMAN EMPIRE AND IT INCLUDED THE
00:24:33.03\00:24:36.44
VANDALS, THE
HERULI, AND THE OSTRAGOTHS.
00:24:36.47\00:24:39.21
BUT WHEN THIS LITTLE HORN POWER
COMES UP THAT SPEAKS GREAT WORDS
00:24:39.24\00:24:42.84
AGAINST THE MOST HIGH AND WEARS
OUT THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH
00:24:42.88\00:24:45.91
AND THINKS TO CHANGE TIMES AND
LAWS, THAT POWER, WHEN IT COMES
00:24:45.95\00:24:50.32
UP, IT UPROOTS THREE. MAKE A
NOTE OF THAT. I'M GOING TO SHOW
00:24:50.35\00:24:54.59
YOU, HISTORICALLY,
HOW THAT WAS FULFILLED.
00:24:54.62\00:24:56.89
"AND, BEHOLD, IN THIS HORN WERE
EYES LIKE THE EYES OF A MAN," -
00:24:56.93\00:24:59.83
SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS
POWER - "AND A MOUTH SPEAKING" -
00:24:59.86\00:25:02.66
POMPOUS WORDS OR
- "GREAT THINGS."
00:25:02.70\00:25:06.30
SO HOW IS THE BEAST IN
REVELATION 13, NOW, SIMILAR TO
00:25:06.33\00:25:09.74
THE VISION IN DANIEL CHAPTER 7?
IT SAYS, "NOW THE BEAST WHICH I
00:25:09.77\00:25:13.84
SAW WAS LIKE A LEOPARD, HIS FEET
WERE LIKE THE FEET OF A BEAR.
00:25:13.88\00:25:17.21
AND HIS MOUTH LIKE
THE MOUTH OF A LION."
00:25:17.25\00:25:20.08
NOW, DID YOU SEE, IN DANIEL 7,
A LION, A BEAR, AND A LEOPARD?
00:25:20.12\00:25:26.49
THAT MEANS THIS BEAST IS ALL
BUILT ON THE HISTORY OF THOSE
00:25:26.52\00:25:30.26
FOUR MAIN KINGDOMS.
THERE'S A CONNECTION HERE.
00:25:30.29\00:25:32.66
YOU MIGHT NOTICE THAT, IN
DANIEL, IT SAYS, 'LION, BEAR,
00:25:32.69\00:25:39.30
LEOPARD.' IN REVELATION
IS SAYS, LEOPARD, BEAR, LION.
00:25:39.33\00:25:45.11
IT'S OPPOSITE. WHY? VERY
SIMPLE, BECAUSE DANIEL IS
00:25:45.14\00:25:48.34
LOOKING FORWARD IN HIS PROPHECY.
JOHN IS NOW LOOKING BACK.
00:25:48.38\00:25:52.45
SO YOU'VE GOT THE EXACT
SAME SEQUENCE, TOO, FROM THEIR
00:25:52.48\00:25:54.48
PERSPECTIVE. AND SO,
IT'S TALKING ABOUT THESE
00:25:54.52\00:25:58.29
POWERS THAT HAD OCCUPIED GOD'S
PEOPLE AND PERSECUTED GOD'S
00:25:58.32\00:26:02.06
PEOPLE IN THE JEWISH HISTORY.
AND THEN THERE'S A NEW POWER
00:26:02.09\00:26:05.49
THAT WAS HAPPENING IN
REVELATION RIGHT DURING THE TIME
00:26:05.53\00:26:08.53
WHEN JOHN WROTE
IT. ROME WAS IN POWER.
00:26:08.56\00:26:11.33
JOHN WAS A PRISONER ON THE ISLE
OF PATMOS, BY THE KINGDOM OF
00:26:11.37\00:26:15.34
ROME, FOR HIS FAITH. AND
IT SAYS - IN THIS BEAST, IT
00:26:15.37\00:26:20.54
SAYS, "HIS MOUTH LIKE THE MOUTH
OF A LION. THE DRAGON GAVE HIM
00:26:20.58\00:26:24.18
HIS POWER, HIS
THRONE, AND GREAT AUTHORITY."
00:26:24.21\00:26:28.42
NOW, WE ALL KNOW THAT THE
DRAGON, OF COURSE, BEHIND THE
00:26:28.45\00:26:31.45
DRAGON YOU'VE GOT THE DEVIL -
CALLS HIM THE OLD SERPENT, THE
00:26:31.49\00:26:33.99
DRAGON - BUT THE DRAGON WAS
OPERATING THROUGH THE POWER OF
00:26:34.02\00:26:37.19
ROME. WHEN IT SAYS
THE DRAGON TRIED TO
00:26:37.23\00:26:40.06
DEVOUR THE MAN CHILD
AS SOON AS IT WAS BORN.
00:26:40.10\00:26:43.33
WELL, THE ROMAN POWER - THE
DEVIL USED THE ROMAN POWER TO
00:26:43.37\00:26:46.13
DESTROY JESUS - OR TRY TO
DESTROY HIM - WHEN HE WAS A
00:26:46.17\00:26:48.67
BABY. SO, THE DEVIL WAS WORKING
00:26:48.70\00:26:51.34
THROUGH ROME WHEN
CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED.
00:26:51.37\00:26:54.18
THE DEVIL WAS USING THAT KINGDOM
TO PERSECUTE CHRISTIANITY,
00:26:54.21\00:26:57.51
BUT IT WAS THE
KINGDOM OF PAGAN ROME.
00:26:57.55\00:27:01.18
BUT PAGAN ROME THEN GOES
THROUGH A CHANGE WHEN IT FALLS.
