AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:04.93\00:00:07.10
THERE ARE FEW HUMANS WHOSE
INTELLECT COULD MATCH THE GENIUS
00:00:09.14\00:00:12.44
OF LEONARDO DA VINCI, ONE OF THE
GREATEST ARTISTS AND INVENTORS
00:00:12.47\00:00:16.14
OF ALL TIME.
PROBABLY, HE'S MOST RENOWN
00:00:16.18\00:00:19.28
FOR HIS MONA LISA PAINTING.
LEONARDO ALSO EXCELLED IN THE
00:00:19.31\00:00:24.02
FIELDS OF SCIENCE, OPTICS,
ENGINEERING, ANATOMY, BOTANY,
00:00:24.05\00:00:29.66
ARCHITECTURE, GEOLOGY, ZOOLOGY,
MECHANICS, AND MANY MORE.
00:00:29.69\00:00:35.10
IN MANY OF THESE AREAS HE
WAS FAR AHEAD OF HIS TIME.
00:00:35.13\00:00:39.43
FOR EXAMPLE, HE DREW DESIGNS
THAT WERE THE EQUIVALENT OF A
00:00:39.47\00:00:43.00
HELICOPTER, ONE FOR A PARACHUTE,
A DIVING SUIT, AN ARMORED TANK,
00:00:43.04\00:00:47.71
AND MANY OTHER FASCINATING
INVENTIONS OF OUR DAY.
00:00:47.74\00:00:50.98
HE EVEN BUILT A ROBOT CAPABLE OF
WALKING, SITTING, AND MOVING ITS
00:00:51.01\00:00:54.85
JAW - AND SOME OF HIS ROBOTIC
CONCEPTS ARE CURRENTLY BEING PUT
00:00:54.88\00:00:58.95
TO USE IN ROBOTS FOR
SPACE EXPLORATION TODAY.
00:00:58.99\00:01:02.29
LOOKING BACK, IT ALMOST SEEMS
LIKE LEONARDO COULD SEE INTO THE
00:01:02.32\00:01:06.29
FUTURE. WE
MIGHT WONDER IF ANYONE
00:01:06.33\00:01:09.23
REALLY CAN PREDICT THE
FUTURE. IN ANCIENT BABYLON, THE
00:01:09.26\00:01:12.87
PROPHET DANIEL INFORMED KING
NEBUCHADNEZZAR ABOUT THE GOD OF
00:01:12.90\00:01:16.34
HEAVEN WHO REVEALED THE DEEP
AND SECRET THINGS OF THE FUTURE.
00:01:16.37\00:01:20.31
SO JOIN ME NOW, FRIENDS, AS WE
DISCOVER WHAT GOD'S WORD REALLY
00:01:20.34\00:01:23.45
SAYS ABOUT THE MYSTERIOUS BEASTS
FROM THE PROPHECIES OF DANIEL
00:01:23.48\00:01:28.08
AND REVELATION.
00:01:28.12\00:01:33.52
A LITTLE WHILE AGO - A FEW
YEARS AGO - A TEENAGE GIRL IN
00:01:33.56\00:01:37.19
VIRGINIA WAS KIND OF SHOCKED
WHEN SHE SAW, IN HER BACKYARD, A
00:01:37.23\00:01:41.63
TURTLE WITH TWO HEADS. WOW.
00:01:41.66\00:01:44.23
AND SHE FELT SORRY FOR THE
POOR THING AND WAS A LITTLE
00:01:44.27\00:01:48.17
SHOCKED AND DIDN'T
KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO REACT.
00:01:48.20\00:01:49.97
SHE TRIED TO FEED IT SOME
LETTUCE AND BOTH HEADS WERE SORT
00:01:50.01\00:01:52.37
OF FIGHTING FOR THE
LETTUCE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
00:01:52.41\00:01:55.04
TWO-HEADEDNESS IS NOT
COMPLETELY UNHEARD OF IN THE
00:01:55.08\00:01:58.98
ANIMAL KINGDOM.
USUALLY THOSE CREATURES DO NOT
00:01:59.01\00:02:01.55
LIVE VERY LONG BECAUSE THEY FEEL
- THE TWO MINDS ARE TELLING THE
00:02:01.58\00:02:06.92
BODY TO DO TWO DIFFERENT THINGS
AND THEY CAN NEVER SEEM TO AGREE
00:02:06.96\00:02:10.73
AND THEY JUST DON'T
SEEM TO SURVIVE IN THE WILD.
00:02:10.76\00:02:14.03
BUT YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING
WITH FOUR HEADS AND YOU'VE NEVER
00:02:14.10\00:02:19.33
SEEN ANYTHING WITH SEVEN
HEADS, BUT THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT
00:02:19.37\00:02:23.37
CREATURES WITH FOUR HEADS AND
SEVEN HEADS AND, IN PARTICULAR,
00:02:23.41\00:02:27.21
THERE'S A CREATURE THAT
KEEPS REAPPEARING IN THE BOOK OF
00:02:27.24\00:02:30.91
REVELATION WITH SEVEN HEADS AND
TEN HORNS, AND YOU'LL FIND THE
00:02:30.95\00:02:34.75
TEN HORNS ON ANOTHER
BEAST IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL.
00:02:34.78\00:02:38.19
AND, AS WE LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE,
YOU'LL SEE THAT THIS IS
00:02:38.22\00:02:41.99
TYPICALLY TALKING
ABOUT THE SAME POWER.
00:02:42.02\00:02:45.29
WE NEED TO IDENTIFY THAT POWER
BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THE MAIN
00:02:45.33\00:02:48.50
PLAYERS IN THE LAST DAYS.
THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT IS
00:02:48.53\00:02:51.27
DEALING WITH THE
SUBJECT A WOMAN RIDES A BEAST .
00:02:51.30\00:02:55.27
AND THIS HEARKENS FROM A
PROPHECY AND A PICTURE THAT
00:02:55.30\00:02:58.07
YOU'LL FIND IN REVELATION 17.
00:02:58.11\00:03:00.74
NOW, IN THIS PRESENTATION,
IN PARTICULAR, WE'RE GOING TO BE
00:03:00.78\00:03:03.11
TALKING ABOUT, 'WHAT IS THIS
BEAST THAT KEEPS REAPPEARING IN
00:03:03.14\00:03:08.45
THE BOOKS OF
REVELATION AND DANIEL?'
00:03:08.48\00:03:11.95
IF YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES
YOU'LL WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT
00:03:11.99\00:03:14.56
REVELATION CHAPTER 17 AND THERE
IT SAYS, "SO HE CARRIED ME AWAY
00:03:14.59\00:03:17.16
IN THE SPIRIT
INTO THE WILDERNESS.
00:03:17.19\00:03:22.00
AND I SAW A WOMAN SITTING ON A
SCARLET BEAST WHICH WAS FULL OF
00:03:22.03\00:03:26.43
NAMES OF BLASPHEMY, HAVING
SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS."
00:03:26.47\00:03:31.94
NOW, WE DISCUSSED THIS EARLIER
AND WE'LL GIVE YOU SOME MORE
00:03:31.97\00:03:34.21
SCRIPTURES FOR IT, BUT IN THESE
BIBLE SYMBOLS A WOMAN REPRESENTS
00:03:34.24\00:03:38.08
A CHURCH. 'HUSBANDS
LOVE YOUR WIVES,' PAUL
00:03:38.11\00:03:41.45
SAYS, 'EVEN AS CHRIST LOVED THE
CHURCH AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR IT.
00:03:41.48\00:03:45.42
I'VE LIKENED THE DAUGHTER OF
ZION TO A DELICATE AND COMELY
00:03:45.45\00:03:48.36
WOMAN.' ALL
THROUGH THE OLD TESTAMENT
00:03:48.39\00:03:50.46
GOD COMPARES
ISRAEL TO HIS BRIDE.
00:03:50.49\00:03:54.00
SO HIS PEOPLE - IT'S
OFTEN IDENTIFIED WITH A WOMAN.
00:03:54.00\00:03:56.70
YOU'VE GOT TWO DIFFERENT KINDS
OF WOMAN THAT ARE THERE, BOTH IN
00:03:56.73\00:03:59.50
THE OLD AND THE NEW TESTAMENT,
THE FAITHFUL AND THE UNFAITHFUL,
00:03:59.53\00:04:03.81
AND THIS WOMAN IS, EVIDENTLY,
NOT THE FAITHFUL ONE BECAUSE IT
00:04:03.84\00:04:08.14
SAYS SHE'S GOT A PARAGRAPH
ON HER FOREHEAD THAT SAYS,
00:04:08.18\00:04:10.98
'MOTHER OF
HARLOTS'. THAT WOULD SORT OF
00:04:11.01\00:04:12.31
BE A CLUE, RIGHT?
SHE'S NOT THE FAITHFUL WIFE.
00:04:12.35\00:04:16.25
NOW, YOU SEE THESE TWO WOMEN
IDENTIFIED THERE IN REVELATION -
00:04:16.28\00:04:19.19
REVELATION 12
YOU'VE GOT THE GOOD ONE.
00:04:19.22\00:04:21.76
SO, WHAT'S THE CONNECTION NOW
BETWEEN THE WOMAN IN REVELATION
00:04:21.79\00:04:26.53
12 - THERE'S ANOTHER
BEAST THAT APPEARS TO HER.
00:04:26.56\00:04:30.07
YOU LOOK IN REVELATION 12, VERSE
3, "AND THERE APPEARED ANOTHER
00:04:30.10\00:04:32.97
WONDER IN HEAVEN: AND BEHOLD
A GREAT RED DRAGON - SAME AS THE
00:04:33.00\00:04:37.17
SCARLET THAT YOU FIND IN
REVELATION 17 - "HAVING SEVEN
00:04:37.21\00:04:40.71
HEADS AND TEN HORNS," - SAME
BEAST - "AND SEVEN CROWNS UPON
00:04:40.74\00:04:44.81
HIS HEADS." AND IT GOES ON TO
SAY THAT THIS BEAST IS TRYING TO
00:04:44.85\00:04:49.35
ATTACK THIS WOMAN. SO
HERE IN REVELATION 17 YOU'VE
00:04:49.38\00:04:52.19
GOT THIS RED SEVEN-HEADED
TEN-HORNED BEAST THE
00:04:52.22\00:04:55.32
WOMAN IS RIDING THE
BEAST. THEY'RE IN COOPERATION.
00:04:55.36\00:04:59.03
AND THEN YOU GO TO REVELATION
12, THAT SAME BEAST IS TRYING TO
00:04:59.06\00:05:02.20
DESTROY THIS WOMAN.
SHE'S CLOTHED WITH LIGHT -
00:05:02.23\00:05:05.03
THE SYMBOL OF GOD'S
CHURCH. I HAVE ANOTHER STUDY
00:05:05.07\00:05:06.87
TALKING ABOUT THAT. NOW
GO TO REVELATION 13 - YOU
00:05:06.90\00:05:11.44
KNOW REVELATION 13 -
YOU'VE HEARD OF 6-6-6?
00:05:11.47\00:05:14.31
YEAH. MARK OF THE BEAST?
00:05:14.34\00:05:15.88
THAT'S REVELATION 13. AND
YOU CAN READ THERE, IT SAYS,
00:05:15.91\00:05:20.28
"AND I SAW A BEAST RISING UP OUT
OF THE SEA," - NOTICE THE SEA
00:05:20.32\00:05:24.29
- "HAVING SEVEN HEADS AND
TEN HORNS" - SOUND FAMILIAR?
00:05:24.32\00:05:29.72
- "AND ON HIS HORNS TEN CROWNS,
AND ON HIS HEADS A BLASPHEMOUS
00:05:29.76\00:05:33.83
NAME." BLASPHEMY IS WHEN SOMEONE
00:05:33.86\00:05:36.40
IS DEGRADING GOD BY PUTTING
THEMSELVES IN THE PLACE OF GOD
00:05:36.43\00:05:40.30
OR CLAIMING THE PREROGATIVES OF
GOD. AND SO, YOU NOTICE THAT THE
00:05:40.34\00:05:44.27
WOMAN, NAMES OF BLASPHEMY -
DANIEL 7 TALKS ABOUT THIS BEAST
00:05:44.31\00:05:48.48
POWER AS BLASPHEMY AND HERE
YOU SEE THAT CREATURE AGAIN.
00:05:48.51\00:05:52.95
NOW, I JUST NEED TO TELL
EVERYBODY, STRAIGHT UP, AS
00:05:52.98\00:05:56.45
NICELY AS I CAN, THAT - YOU WANT
ME TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, RIGHT?
00:05:56.48\00:06:00.76
YEAH. PAUL ASKS A QUESTION.
00:06:00.79\00:06:03.43
HE SAID, 'AM I YOUR ENEMY
BECAUSE I TELL YOU THE TRUTH?'
00:06:03.46\00:06:06.63
I HOPE YOU DIDN'T COME BECAUSE
YOU JUST WANT ME TO PREACH
00:06:06.66\00:06:09.03
SMOOTH THINGS. YOU
WANT TO KNOW, 'WHAT
00:06:09.06\00:06:10.63
DOES THE BIBLE REALLY SAY?'
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, GOD'S WORD
00:06:10.67\00:06:14.40
IS VERY FAITHFUL TO NOT
ONLY TALK ABOUT THE WAY HE
00:06:14.44\00:06:17.37
WOULD BLESS HIS PEOPLE.
AND THERE WERE MANY TIMES GOD'S
00:06:17.41\00:06:20.14
PEOPLE WERE FAITHFUL AND
THERE WERE MIRACLES WROUGHT.
00:06:20.18\00:06:22.34
HE SAID, 'ONE OF YOU WILL CHASE
A THOUSAND.' AND THEN HE SAID,
00:06:22.38\00:06:26.38
'YOU'LL TURN FROM ME.
YOU'LL WORSHIP OTHER GODS.'
00:06:26.41\00:06:28.72
AND HE PROPHESIED
THEIR UNFAITHFULNESS.
00:06:28.75\00:06:31.55
AND THE WORD THAT GOD USED, HE
SAID, 'YOU WILL GO WHORING AFTER
00:06:31.59\00:06:34.76
OTHER GODS.' HE'S
TALKING ABOUT HIS PEOPLE.
00:06:34.79\00:06:39.13
NOW, HE ALSO DOES THAT
IN NEW TESTAMENT TIMES.
00:06:39.16\00:06:43.53
EVEN PAUL SAID, 'I KNOW, AFTER
MY DEPARTURE, GRIEVOUS WOLVES
00:06:43.57\00:06:46.23
WILL COME IN NOT
SPARING THE FLOCK.
00:06:46.27\00:06:48.27
FROM AMONG YOUR OWN SELVES
PEOPLE WILL ARISE SPEAKING
00:06:48.30\00:06:51.31
PERVERSE THINGS TO DRAW AWAY
DISCIPLES AFTER THEMSELVES.' SO,
00:06:51.34\00:06:55.18
EVEN PAUL PREDICTED SOMETHING'S
GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE CHURCH.
00:06:55.21\00:06:57.48
THE DEVIL IS GOING TO COME AFTER
THE CHURCH AND THERE'S GOING TO
00:06:57.51\00:07:00.08
BE MAJOR UNFAITHFULNESS.
WELL, I'M GOING TO TELL YOU
00:07:00.12\00:07:04.82
RIGHT NOW, IN REVELATION CHAPTER
13 - IT'S NOT JUST ONE BEAST -
00:07:04.85\00:07:08.49
REVELATION CHAPTER 13, THERE ARE
TWO BEASTS. DID YOU KNOW THAT?
00:07:08.52\00:07:11.76
WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THE MARK OF
THE BEAST - CHAPTER ACTUALLY HAS
00:07:11.79\00:07:13.86
TWO BEASTS. YOU SEE
IN CHAPTER 13, FIRST FEW
00:07:13.90\00:07:17.30
VERSES TALKS ABOUT THE FIRST
BEAST. LATER ON, YOU GET TO
00:07:17.33\00:07:21.10
VERSE 11, IT SAYS, 'AND
THEN I SAW A SECOND BEAST.'
00:07:21.14\00:07:23.67
I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, I'M
NOT TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE, I'M
00:07:23.71\00:07:27.61
TALKING ABOUT SYSTEMS AND
AREAS WHERE CHURCHES HAVE BEEN
00:07:27.64\00:07:32.78
DISOBEDIENT. AND THIS HAS
BEEN FORETOLD IN PROPHECY.
00:07:32.81\00:07:36.99
SO YOU WANT ME
TO KEEP GOING? YES.
00:07:37.02\00:07:38.75
I JUST - I WANT TO BE FAITHFUL.
00:07:38.79\00:07:40.02
I WANT TO BE KIND, BUT I DON'T
WANT TO MINCE WORDS WITH YOU.
00:07:40.06\00:07:43.59
SO WITH THAT BACKGROUND,
YOU'VE GOT THIS BEAST THAT KEEPS
00:07:43.63\00:07:46.59
APPEARING -
SEVEN HEADS, TEN HORNS.
00:07:46.63\00:07:48.80
WE'RE GOING TO FIND
OUT 'WHO IS THIS BEAST?'
00:07:48.83\00:07:50.77
IT'S ALSO KNOW
AS 'THE ANTICHRIST'.
00:07:50.80\00:07:52.90
NOW, THE WORD 'ANTICHRIST'
MEANS 'AGAINST CHRIST'.
00:07:52.93\00:07:56.71
HOW MANY TIMES DOES THE
WORD 'ANTICHRIST' APPEAR IN
00:07:56.74\00:07:58.37
REVELATION? NOT AT ALL. I
TOLD YOU THAT EARLIER - IT'S
00:07:58.41\00:08:03.08
ONLY IN THE LETTERS OF JOHN.
AND JOHN SAYS THERE ALREADY WERE
00:08:03.11\00:08:07.72
MANY ANTICHRISTS, EVEN IN HIS
DAY. SO THE WORD 'ANTICHRIST'
00:08:07.75\00:08:10.89
CAN BE USED BROADLY, BUT
THE MAIN BEAST IS ALSO CALLED
00:08:10.92\00:08:13.82
'THE ANTICHRIST'.
IT'S LIKE THE INDUSTRIAL
00:08:13.86\00:08:16.86
STRENGTH ANTICHRIST ON
STEROIDS THAT YOU FIND THERE
00:08:16.89\00:08:19.49
THROUGH THE BOOK.
ALRIGHT, SO LET'S FIND
00:08:19.53\00:08:21.76
OUT FIRST ABOUT BEASTS.
QUESTION #1: WHAT DOES A
00:08:21.80\00:08:25.13
BEAST REPRESENT IN
PROPHECY? WE'RE GOING TO LET THE
00:08:25.17\00:08:28.50
BIBLE EXPLAIN ITSELF. IF
YOU LOOK, FOR INSTANCE, IN
00:08:28.54\00:08:31.84
DANIEL CHAPTER 7, VERSE 17, IT
SAYS, "THOSE GREAT BEASTS, WHICH
00:08:31.87\00:08:36.51
ARE FOUR, ARE FOUR KINGS
WHICH ARISE OUT OF THE EARTH."
00:08:36.54\00:08:40.62
NOT JUST KINGS, BUT IT ALSO
INCLUDES KINGDOMS - THOSE GREAT
00:08:40.65\00:08:43.99
BEASTS WHICH ARE FOUR - OR, "THE
FOURTH BEAST" - RATHER - "SHALL
00:08:44.02\00:08:46.99
BE THE FOURTH KINGDOM" - SO
YOU'VE GOT - IT'S KINGS - IT'S
00:08:47.02\00:08:50.39
KINGDOMS - IT'S
TALKING ABOUT POWERS.
00:08:50.43\00:08:52.36
LOOK IN DANIEL 8, VERSE 20 AND
YOU'LL SEE THERE WHERE THERE'S
00:08:52.39\00:08:55.70
THIS VISION OF SHEEP AND GOATS
AND IT SAYS, 'THE RAM WHICH YOU
00:08:55.73\00:08:59.87
SAW, HAVING THE TWO HORNS -
THEY ARE THE KINGS OF MEDIA AND
00:08:59.90\00:09:04.57
PERSIA, AND THE MALE GOAT
IS THE KINGDOM OF GREECE."
00:09:04.61\00:09:09.01
SO HERE IT'S GOT A GOAT THAT
REPRESENTS - AND IT SAYS THE
00:09:09.04\00:09:12.35
HORN BETWEEN HIS
EYES IS THE FIRST KING.
00:09:12.38\00:09:15.88
LATER WE LEARN
THAT'S ALEXANDER THE GREAT.
00:09:15.92\00:09:18.35
IT MAKES IT PRETTY CLEAR.
SO, YOU KNOW, IF - TODAY, DO
00:09:18.39\00:09:23.06
WE SOMETIMES USE COUNTRIES
TO ILLUSTRATE - OR ANIMALS
00:09:23.09\00:09:25.73
TO ILLUSTRATE
COUNTRIES? IF I SAY 'BEAR' WHAT
00:09:25.76\00:09:28.93
COUNTRY DO YOU THINK OF? RUSSIA.
00:09:28.96\00:09:30.53
RUSSIA. AND, IF I SAY
EAGLE - UNITED STATES.
00:09:30.57\00:09:33.23
THE UNITED
STATES. AND THE LION IS -
00:09:33.27\00:09:36.44
GREAT BRITAIN, EXACTLY.
SO, IT'S NOT NEW OR UNUSUAL.
00:09:36.47\00:09:41.11
COUNTRIES HAVE DONE THAT AND SO
GOD DOES THIS ALSO IN PROPHECY.
00:09:41.14\00:09:44.78
ALRIGHT, QUESTION 2: IS THERE
A BEAST WITH TEN HORNS IN DANIEL
00:09:44.81\00:09:49.08
CHAPTER 7. NOW
WE'RE JUMPING TO THE OLD
00:09:49.12\00:09:52.09
TESTAMENT AND I JUST
WANT TO MAKE SURE WE SET THE
00:09:52.12\00:09:54.29
FOUNDATION FOR REVELATION.
YOU REMEMBER WHAT I SAID, OUT
00:09:54.32\00:09:57.06
OF 404 VERSES IN THE BOOK
OF REVELATION, 278 OF THEM ARE
00:09:57.09\00:10:02.26
FOUND ALMOST
VERBATIM IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:10:02.30\00:10:05.60
SO, TO UNDERSTAND REVELATION,
IT'S ALL ROOTED IN THE OLD
00:10:05.63\00:10:09.24
TESTAMENT.
YOU'VE GOT TO GO BACK.
00:10:09.27\00:10:12.37
DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS,
WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST A MOMENT
00:10:12.41\00:10:14.91
WITH THE REST OF
TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:10:14.94\00:10:17.15
BECAUSE OF ITS MYSTERIOUS
SYMBOLISM, MILLIONS FEEL THAT
00:10:17.18\00:10:20.95
THE BOOK OF REVELATION AND
ITS PROPHECIES ARE CONFUSING.
00:10:20.98\00:10:24.29
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED, 'CAN
ANYONE REALLY KNOW FOR CERTAIN
00:10:24.32\00:10:27.79
WHAT ALL THIS SYMBOLISM
MEANS?' WELL, WE CAN KNOW.
00:10:27.82\00:10:31.99
WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT THE KEY
TO UNDERSTANDING REVELATION AND

LET'S RETURN, NOW, TO TODAY'S
PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME MORE
00:11:19.27\00:11:22.38
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:11:22.41\00:11:26.82
LOOK IN DANIEL CHAPTER 7,
VERSES 2 AND 3 AND DANIEL SAYS,
00:11:26.85\00:11:30.99
"...IN MY VISION BY NIGHT,
AND BEHOLD, THE FOUR WINDS OF
00:11:31.02\00:11:34.96
HEAVEN WERE
STIRRING UP THE GREAT SEA."
00:11:34.99\00:11:37.99
- SO IT TALKS ABOUT THESE
WINDS STRIVING - "AND FOUR GREAT
00:11:38.03\00:11:41.03
BEASTS CAME UP FROM THE SEA,
EACH DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER."
00:11:41.06\00:11:45.37
MATTER OF FACT, I'M GOING
TO READ SEVERAL VERSES HERE IN
00:11:45.40\00:11:47.27
DANIEL CHAPTER 7 - IF YOU
BROUGHT YOUR BIBLE WITH YOU, YOU
00:11:47.30\00:11:50.84
MAY WANT TO JOIN ME
AND TURN THERE REAL QUICK.
00:11:50.87\00:11:52.94
LET'S JUST TAKE A LOOK, FOR
INSTANCE, VERSE 3 - DANIEL 7:3 -
00:11:52.97\00:11:56.38
"AND FOUR GREAT BEASTS CAME
UP FROM THE SEA, EACH DIFFERENT
00:11:56.41\00:11:58.81
FROM THE OTHER. THE
FIRST WAS LIKE A LION."
00:11:58.85\00:12:01.75
- LIKE A WHAT? LION.
00:12:01.78\00:12:03.25
"FIRST WAS LIKE A LION AND IT
HAD EAGLE'S WINGS AND I WATCHED
00:12:03.28\00:12:07.49
UNTIL THE WINGS WERE PLUCKED
OFF: AND IT WAS LIFTED UP FROM
00:12:07.52\00:12:10.23
THE EARTH AND MADE TO STAND ON
TWO FEET LIKE A MAN, AND A MAN'S
00:12:10.26\00:12:13.60
HEART WAS GIVEN TO IT.
AND SUDDENLY ANOTHER BEAST, A
00:12:13.63\00:12:16.83
SECOND LIKE A BEAR IT WAS RAISED
UP ON ONE SIDE, AND HAD THREE
00:12:16.87\00:12:20.87
RIBS IN ITS MOUTH
BETWEEN ITS TEETH.
00:12:20.90\00:12:23.00
AND THEY SAID THUS TO IT:
'ARISE, DEVOUR MUCH FLESH.' AND
00:12:23.04\00:12:26.68
AFTER THIS I LOOKED AND THERE
WAS ANOTHER LIKE A LEOPARD WHICH
00:12:26.71\00:12:29.84
HAD ON ITS BACK FOUR WINGS OF A
BIRD AND THE BEAST ALSO HAD FOUR
00:12:29.88\00:12:33.75
HEADS" - I TOLD YOU, YOU CAN
FIND A BEAST WITH FOUR HEADS IN
00:12:33.78\00:12:35.95
THE BIBLE - "AND
DOMINION WAS GIVEN TO IT."
00:12:35.98\00:12:39.45
AND THEN, NOW THIS IS THE BEAST
THAT IS THE ANTICHRIST - "AND
00:12:39.49\00:12:44.09
THEN, AFTER THIS, I SAW IN
THE NIGHT VISIONS AND BEHOLD, A
00:12:44.13\00:12:47.50
FOURTH BEAST, DREADFUL AND
TERRIBLE, EXCEEDINGLY STRONG.
00:12:47.50\00:12:52.73
IT HAD HUGE IRON TEETH: IT WAS
DEVOURING, BREAKING IN PIECES,
00:12:52.77\00:12:57.11
AND TRAMPLING THE RESIDUE WITH
ITS FEET, IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM
00:12:57.14\00:13:00.14
ALL THE BEASTS THAT WERE BEFORE
IT, AND IT HAD TEN HORNS."
00:13:00.18\00:13:05.08
THAT SOUND FAMILIAR? YEP.
00:13:05.11\00:13:07.02
I JUST WANT TO
READ A LITTLE FURTHER.
00:13:07.05\00:13:08.35
LET'S GO TO VERSE 8, "I WAS
CONSIDERING THE HORNS, AND THERE
00:13:08.38\00:13:12.62
WAS ANOTHER HORN, A LITTLE ONE,
COMING UP AMONG THEM, BEFORE
00:13:12.65\00:13:16.09
WHOM THREE OF THE FIRST HORNS
WERE PLUCKED OUT BY THE ROOTS."
00:13:16.12\00:13:19.69
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG
AND A KID STARTS GETTING THEIR
00:13:19.73\00:13:21.46
GROWN-UP TEETH AND STARTS
PUSHING OUT THE BABY TEETH, IT'S
00:13:21.50\00:13:24.47
ALMOST THAT KIND OF A PICTURE
THAT THIS LITTLE HORN COMES UP,
00:13:24.50\00:13:27.07
BUT IT'S PUSHING OUT
THREE HORNS AS IT MAKES ITS WAY.
00:13:27.10\00:13:30.54
AND SO - AND IT SAYS, 'IN THIS
HORN' - DON'T MISS THIS - "WERE
00:13:30.57\00:13:35.01
EYES LIKE THE EYES OF A MAN, AND
A MOUTH SPEAKING POMPOUS WORDS."
00:13:35.04\00:13:38.98
OR THAT CAN BE
INTERPRETED 'BLASPHEMOUS' WORDS.
00:13:39.01\00:13:43.32
ALRIGHT, AND THIS FINAL BEAST
DANIEL IS REALLY WORRIED ABOUT
00:13:43.35\00:13:46.72
BECAUSE IT PERSECUTES GOD'S
PEOPLE, YOU READ ON IN THE REST
00:13:46.76\00:13:49.66
OF THE CHAPTER THERE.
BUT I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU
00:13:49.69\00:13:51.46
THE FOUNDATION ABOUT THE
BEAST BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO TRY
00:13:51.49\00:13:53.46
TO IDENTIFY THIS BEAST IN
REVELATION - I SHOULD SAY THE
00:13:53.50\00:13:57.27
BEASTS IN REVELATION -
THAT WILL HAVE A PROMINENT ROLE
00:13:57.30\00:14:02.04
IN THE LAST DAYS. AND
SO, WE LEARNED THAT ONE OF
00:14:02.07\00:14:05.11
THOSE BEASTS IN
DANIEL, THE FOURTH BEAST, ALSO
00:14:05.14\00:14:07.28
HAD TEN HORNS.
"...DEVOURING, BREAKING IN
00:14:07.31\00:14:10.51
PIECES, AND TRAMPLING
THE RESIDUE WITH ITS FEET.
00:14:10.55\00:14:13.15
IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM ALL
THE BEASTS THAT WERE BEFORE IT."
00:14:13.18\00:14:16.62
AND SO I WANT YOU TO
NOTICE SOME OF THESE POINTS.
00:14:16.65\00:14:18.79
ALRIGHT, FIRST OF ALL, THESE
CREATURES IN DANIEL, THEY COME
00:14:18.82\00:14:21.26
UP OUT OF THE SEA.
SO WHAT DOES THE WIND
00:14:21.29\00:14:24.69
AND THE SEA REPRESENT?
WELL, WIND, WE TALKED ABOUT THE
00:14:24.73\00:14:28.63
WINDS OF STRIFE THERE, REMEMBER,
IN REVELATION CHAPTER 7.
00:14:28.66\00:14:31.87
IT'S TALKING ABOUT TURMOIL AND
STRIFE, DESTRUCTION, COMMOTION.
00:14:31.90\00:14:36.14
AND WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE
WATERS, THE DEFINITION FOR THESE
00:14:36.17\00:14:39.44
SYMBOLS IS IN THE
BIBLE. THE ANGEL TOLD JOHN, IN
00:14:39.47\00:14:42.61
REVELATION 17, VERSE 15,
"THE WATERS...ARE PEOPLES, AND
00:14:42.64\00:14:46.85
MULTITUDES, AND
NATIONS, AND TONGUES."
00:14:46.88\00:14:49.12
HE'S TALKING ABOUT
VAST NUMBERS OF PEOPLE.
00:14:49.15\00:14:51.89
BY THE WAY, IF YOU READ IN
DANIEL CHAPTER 9 IT SAYS THAT
00:14:51.92\00:14:54.56
THE WICKED POWER WOULD COME LIKE
A FLOOD - TALKING ABOUT A FLOOD
00:14:54.59\00:14:57.43
OF ARMY - A FLOOD OF PEOPLE.
AND SO, THIS BEAST POWER RISES
00:14:57.46\00:15:00.86
UP OUT OF A DENSELY
POPULATED PART OF CIVILIZATION
00:15:00.90\00:15:04.37
AND THE WORLD.
ALRIGHT, NEXT, QUESTION 4: WHAT
00:15:04.40\00:15:08.20
KINGDOM DOES THE LION REPRESENT?
I WANT TO MARCH THROUGH BECAUSE,
00:15:08.24\00:15:11.47
IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE
FOURTH BEAST, YOU'VE GOT TO LOOK
00:15:11.51\00:15:14.31
AT THE SEQUENCE OF HISTORY AND
IT JUST BECOMES REALLY CLEAR.
00:15:14.34\00:15:17.51
WHAT KINGDOM DOES
THE LION REPRESENT?
00:15:17.55\00:15:19.91
THE LION IS BABYLON. IF
YOU LOOK IN CHAPTER 2 OF
00:15:19.95\00:15:25.29
DANIEL, DANIEL MAKES IT
PRETTY CLEAR TO NEBUCHADNEZZAR.
00:15:25.32\00:15:28.26
HE SAID, 'YOU ARE
THAT FIRST PRIMARY KINGDOM.
00:15:28.29\00:15:30.36
YOU ARE THE HEAD OF GOLD.' IT
JUST SAYS BABYLON IS THE LION.
00:15:30.39\00:15:33.73
MATTER OF FACT, IF YOU GO TO
SOME OF THE MUSEUMS, THEY HAVE
00:15:33.76\00:15:37.23
RECOVERED SOME OF THE ANCIENT
GATES FROM BABYLON - I THINK
00:15:37.27\00:15:40.67
THEY CALL IT THE ISHTAR GATE
- AND YOU CAN EVEN SEE THEY HAD
00:15:40.70\00:15:43.97
LIONS WITH WINGS THAT WERE ON -
JUST LIKE IN DANIEL'S VISION, A
00:15:44.01\00:15:48.28
LION WITH TWO WINGS.
WHY DID DANIEL SAY THE LION
00:15:48.31\00:15:50.65
WOULD STAND ON
ITS FEET LIKE A MAN?
00:15:50.68\00:15:52.75
BECAUSE KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR
ENDED UP BEING CONVERTED.
00:15:52.78\00:15:56.08
INSTEAD OF BEING A
BEAST, HE BECAME A SON OF GOD.
00:15:56.12\00:15:59.82
HE BECAME CONVERTED BEFORE THE
END OF HIS LIFE AND HE GLORIFIED
00:15:59.85\00:16:02.02
GOD. IF YOU'VE
READ DANIEL CHAPTER
00:16:02.06\00:16:04.09
4, THAT WOULD BE
IN. WHAT KINGDOM DOES
00:16:04.13\00:16:09.30
THE BEAR REPRESENT? SO
YOU'VE GOT BABYLON, THEN
00:16:09.33\00:16:11.67
YOU'VE GOT THE NEXT KINGDOM.
HE REPRESENTS, IN DANIEL CHAPTER
00:16:11.70\00:16:15.04
7:5, AND WHAT DO THE THREE
RIBS IN HIS MOUTH SYMBOLIZE?
00:16:15.07\00:16:18.97
THIS IS THE MEDO-PERSIAN
KINGDOM, LATER THE PERSIANS,
00:16:19.01\00:16:21.51
THEY WERE MORE POWERFUL AND
THAT'S WHY IT SAYS THE BEAR WAS
00:16:21.54\00:16:23.85
RAISED UP ON ONE SIDE - HE'S
STRONGER ON ONE SIDE - HE'S GOT
00:16:23.88\00:16:27.52
THREE RIBS IN HIS MOUTH.
THIS REPRESENTS THE THREE
00:16:27.55\00:16:30.32
KINGDOMS THAT THE MEDO-PERSIANS
CONQUERED WHEN THEY TOOK THE
00:16:30.35\00:16:33.82
EMPIRE AWAY - THIS
WORLD POWER - FROM BABYLON.
00:16:33.86\00:16:37.39
AND THAT WAS, OF COURSE,
BABYLON, LYDIA, AND EGYPT -
00:16:37.43\00:16:40.10
THAT'S THE THREE
RIBS IN HIS MOUTH.
00:16:40.13\00:16:41.90
AND SO, ALL THESE
THINGS HAPPENED HISTORICALLY.
00:16:41.93\00:16:44.83
NOW, BEFORE I GO ANY FARTHER,
I JUST NEED TO INJECT A THOUGHT.
00:16:44.87\00:16:48.30
THESE BEASTS THAT ARE MENTIONED
HERE IN DANIEL, THEY'RE NOT
00:16:48.34\00:16:52.51
SAYING THEY'RE THE ONLY KINGDOMS
IN THE WORLD, I MEAN, AT THE
00:16:52.54\00:16:55.54
TIME THAT BABYLON RULED, IT WAS
A VAST WORLD EMPIRE, AND SO WERE
00:16:55.58\00:16:58.75
THE GREEKS AND SO
WERE THE PERSIANS.
00:16:58.78\00:17:02.22
IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY, THERE
WERE GREAT EMPIRES - THE INCAS
00:17:02.25\00:17:06.09
IN SOUTH AMERICA, THE TOLTECS
AND YOU HAD THE ROU - KHMER
00:17:06.12\00:17:12.06
EMPIRE AND YOU HAD THE CHINESE,
THE MONGOLS, AND THERE WAS OTHER
00:17:12.09\00:17:15.53
GREAT EMPIRES. THESE
EMPIRES ARE MENTIONED
00:17:15.56\00:17:18.37
BECAUSE THEY ALL
OCCUPIED GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:17:18.40\00:17:21.40
THEY CONTROLLED
THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
00:17:21.44\00:17:23.64
SO THE ONLY EMPIRES THAT ARE
BEING MENTIONED IN THESE VISIONS
00:17:23.67\00:17:26.64
ARE THE ONES THAT HAD A REAL
IMPACT ON THE POLICIES AND THE
00:17:26.68\00:17:31.35
LAND OF ISRAEL,
LATER, GOD'S PEOPLE, OKAY?
00:17:31.38\00:17:34.62
SO THESE ARE THE NATIONS THAT
IT'S DEALING WITH, AND THAT'S
00:17:34.65\00:17:37.19
THE REASON. SO WHAT
KINGDOM IS REPRESENTED
00:17:37.22\00:17:39.55
BY THE LEOPARD WITH
FOUR HEADS? WHAT FOLLOWED THE
00:17:39.59\00:17:43.99
PERSIAN KINGDOM? GREECE.
00:17:44.03\00:17:45.93
I THINK WE ALL KNOW, ALEXANDER
THE GREAT DEFEATED DARIUS.
00:17:45.96\00:17:49.06
HE WAS THAT NOTABLE HORN THAT
WAS IN THE RAM'S HEAD - OR IN
00:17:49.10\00:17:54.97
THE GOAT'S HEAD - AND THEN HE
ALSO REPRESENTS THE FIRST KING
00:17:55.00\00:17:59.21
OF THE LEOPARD, BUT HE DIED AND
THEN HIS KINGDOM WAS THEN SPREAD
00:17:59.24\00:18:03.58
AMONG HIS FOUR
GENERALS. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT
00:18:03.61\00:18:07.85
THEY HAD A VAST EMPIRE. THE
FOUR GENERALS WHO HEADED THE
00:18:07.88\00:18:12.12
DIVISIONS OF ALEXANDER'S KINGDOM
WERE CASSANDER, LYSIMACHUS,
00:18:12.15\00:18:16.66
PTOLEMY, AND
SELEUCUS. AND SO THESE ARE
00:18:16.69\00:18:20.30
THE FOUR EMPIRES.
YOU CAN SEE THE SCOPE OF
00:18:20.33\00:18:23.47
ALEXANDER'S KINGDOM THERE.
SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT IN JUST TEN
00:18:23.50\00:18:27.47
YEARS HE MARCHED HIS
SOLDIERS 22,000 MILES.
00:18:27.50\00:18:31.74
NOBODY HAS EVER DONE ANYTHING
LIKE THAT IN HISTORY, JUST
00:18:31.77\00:18:35.04
CONQUERING
EVERYTHING EVERY WHERE HE WENT.
00:18:35.08\00:18:36.85
AND HIS APPROACH
WAS VERY DIFFERENT.
00:18:36.88\00:18:38.31
HE DIDN'T JUST WANT TO CONQUER,
HE WANTED TO SPREAD THEIR
00:18:38.35\00:18:40.75
PHILOSOPHY AND WAY OF LIFE.
THEY CALL IT HELLENIZATION.
00:18:40.78\00:18:44.12
THAT'S WHY THE NEW TESTAMENT'S
WRITTEN IN GREEK, BECAUSE THAT
00:18:44.15\00:18:46.39
INFLUENCE EVEN STAYED WITH THE
NEXT EMPIRE THAT WE'RE GOING TO
00:18:46.42\00:18:50.09
GET TO, WHICH IS
OUR NEXT QUESTION.
00:18:50.13\00:18:54.00
WHICH WORLD KINGDOM IS
REPRESENTED BY THE FOURTH BEAST?
00:18:54.03\00:18:58.03
NOW, IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY,
THE WORLD EMPIRE SURROUNDING THE
00:18:58.07\00:19:02.47
MEDITERRANEAN THAT OCCUPIED
ISRAEL - YOU'VE GOT BABYLON,
00:19:02.50\00:19:06.98
YOU'VE GOT MEDO-PERSIA, YOU'VE
GOT GREECE, THEN WHO CONQUERED
00:19:07.01\00:19:11.78
THE GREEKS? ROME.
00:19:11.81\00:19:13.68
ROME. AND, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S
ALSO INTERESTING IS EACH KINGDOM
00:19:13.72\00:19:18.25
LASTED A LITTLE LONGER
THAN THE ONE BEFORE IT.
00:19:18.29\00:19:21.86
SO THE DEVIL'S LEARNING
SOMETHING ALONG THE WAY AND
00:19:21.89\00:19:23.99
THEY'RE GETTING STRONGER
AND THEY'RE LASTING LONGER.
00:19:24.03\00:19:26.53
YOU CAN READ WHICH KINGDOM IT
WAS, IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE NEW
00:19:26.56\00:19:28.90
TESTAMENT. LUKE 2,
VERSE 1, "AND IT CAME TO
00:19:28.93\00:19:31.70
PASS IN THOSE DAYS THAT A DECREE
WENT OUT FROM CAESAR AUGUSTUS."
00:19:31.73\00:19:35.84
- OCTAVIAN - AUGUSTUS CAESAR
ISSUED THAT DECREE THAT ALL THE
00:19:35.87\00:19:39.17
WORLD SHOULD BE TAXED.
HE WAS THE EMPEROR OF ROME.
00:19:39.21\00:19:43.28
AND SO, THAT'S - BY THE WAY,
WHERE YOU GET THE MONTH AUGUST.
00:19:43.31\00:19:46.65
AND THE REASON FEBRUARY IS SHORT
IS BECAUSE JULIUS CAESAR NAMED A
00:19:46.68\00:19:53.52
MONTH AFTER HIMSELF, THAT'S
CALLED JULY, AND AUGUSTUS CAESAR
00:19:53.56\00:19:57.03
DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS FAIR THAT
JULY WOULD HAVE MORE DAYS AND SO
00:19:57.06\00:20:00.33
HE TOOK SOME DAYS OFF FEBRUARY
TO MAKE SURE AUGUST WAS THE SAME
00:20:00.36\00:20:04.27
LENGTH OF TIME. THAT'S CALLED
TOO MUCH INFORMATION, ISN'T IT?
00:20:04.30\00:20:07.57
(LAUGHTER) OKAY, 'THAT ALL
THE WORLD SHOULD BE REGISTERED'.
00:20:07.60\00:20:11.71
SO, WHY WOULD ROME BE
COMPARED WITH THE TEN HORNS?
00:20:11.74\00:20:17.81
WHY IS IT THE FOURTH
BEAST? WHO WAS RULING THE WORLD
00:20:17.85\00:20:21.18
WHEN JESUS IS BORN? ROME.
00:20:21.22\00:20:23.52
ROME. IT WAS ROMAN SOLDIERS THAT
00:20:23.55\00:20:26.35
CRUCIFIED HIM, A ROMAN SPEAR
PIERCED HIS SIDE, THE ROMAN
00:20:26.39\00:20:29.79
NAILS PIERCED HIS HANDS,
ROMAN GUARDS WERE AT THE TOMB.
00:20:29.82\00:20:33.40
ROME WAS THE PRINCIPLE POWER
THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE AT THAT
00:20:33.43\00:20:35.96
TIME, AND ROME WAS VERY INVOLVED
IN ESPECIALLY PERSECUTING THE
00:20:36.00\00:20:40.00
EARLY CHURCH, AS YOU PROBABLY
KNOW FROM JUST YOUR ELEMENTARY
00:20:40.04\00:20:44.17
SCHOOL. YOU ALL
HEARD ABOUT HOW THEY
00:20:44.21\00:20:46.41
USED TO BURN THE
CHRISTIANS IN THE COLOSSEUM.
00:20:46.44\00:20:48.78
SO "THE TEN HORNS WHICH YOU SAW"
- YOU READ IN REVELATION 17:12 -
00:20:48.81\00:20:54.18
"ARE TEN KINGS." WHAT
HAPPENED WHEN ROME, RULED
00:20:54.22\00:20:57.72
BY THE CAESARS, THAT'S BETTER
KNOWN AS PAGAN ROME, WHEN IT
00:20:57.75\00:21:01.89
BEGAN TO FALL BECAUSE THE
BARBARIAN HORDES WERE ATTACKING
00:21:01.92\00:21:05.16
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THEIR REALM,
THEY STARTED LOSING CONTROL.
00:21:05.19\00:21:08.26
THEY HAD PLUNGED INTO SO
MUCH DECADENCE THEY BECAME
00:21:08.30\00:21:10.67
PREOCCUPIED WITH ENTERTAINMENT
- I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THAT.
00:21:10.70\00:21:14.87
IT'S KIND OF HAPPENING TO
US - BECAME SO PREOCCUPIED WITH
00:21:14.90\00:21:18.27
ENTERTAINMENT THAT THE
BARBARIANS STARTED CONQUERING
00:21:18.31\00:21:22.61
THE EDGES OF THE KINGDOM
AND PRETTY SOON ROME FELL.
00:21:22.64\00:21:26.41
IT WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY,
BUT IT FELL PRETTY QUICK -
00:21:26.45\00:21:28.28
ABOUT 476 AD. WHAT WAS
IN ITS PLACE WHEN IT FELL?
00:21:28.32\00:21:33.02
THE ROMAN EMPIRE - AND HERE'S A
MAP THAT REPRESENTS THE VASTNESS
00:21:33.05\00:21:36.93
OF THAT EMPIRE AT ITS ZENITH
- IT THEN DISINTEGRATED AND IT
00:21:36.96\00:21:41.90
LARGELY WAS IN THE
NORTHWESTERN TERRITORY.
00:21:41.93\00:21:46.23
IT FELL INTO TEN DIVISIONS,
THE TEN BRANCHES OF THE ROMAN
00:21:46.27\00:21:51.17
EMPIRE. AND THIS
IS A MAP WITH SOME
00:21:51.21\00:21:53.54
OF THE ANCIENT NAMES OF THOSE
DIVISIONS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
00:21:53.58\00:21:57.48
YOU MIGHT KNOW THEM BY
SOME OF THE MODERN NAMES.
00:21:57.51\00:22:00.58
YOU HAVE THE ALEMANNI,
ANY OF YOU SPEAK SPANISH?
00:22:00.62\00:22:04.25
HOW DO YOU SAY 'GERMAN'? ALEMAN.
00:22:04.29\00:22:06.12
ALEMAN, YEAH. SO YOU'VE GOT
THE ALEMANNI WERE THE GERMAN,
00:22:06.15\00:22:09.36
THE FRANKS WERE THE FRENCH, THE
ANGLO-SAXONS WERE THE ENGLISH,
00:22:09.39\00:22:14.03
THE SUEVI WAS PORTUGAL, THE
LOMBARDS - ITALY, THE VISIGOTHS
00:22:14.10\00:22:18.07
- SPAIN - AND THEN YOU'LL NOTICE
THREE THAT YOU DON'T HEAR FROM
00:22:18.10\00:22:21.00
MUCH ANYMORE. WE'VE GOT
ALL THE OTHERS ARE STILL THERE.
00:22:21.04\00:22:23.84
YOU'VE GOT THE VANDALS,
THE HERULI, AND THE OSTRAGOTHS.
00:22:23.87\00:22:28.04
NOW THE VANDALS
WERE IN NORTH AFRICA.
00:22:28.08\00:22:30.65
YOU EVER HEARD OF VANDALISM?
THERE WERE A LOT OF CHRISTIANS
00:22:30.68\00:22:34.35
THAT SPREAD THROUGH THE ROMAN
EMPIRE, BECAUSE EVEN BEFORE PAUL
00:22:34.38\00:22:37.32
WAS DEAD, HE SAID THE
GOSPEL'S GONE TO EVERY CREATURE.
00:22:37.35\00:22:39.35
HE MEANT
THROUGHOUT THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
00:22:39.39\00:22:41.02
THERE WERE CHRISTIANS
ALL THROUGH NORTH AFRICA.
00:22:41.06\00:22:43.32
AND WHEN THE CHRISTIANS IN
ROME BEGAN TO GET INVOLVED IN
00:22:43.36\00:22:46.90
IDOLATRY, THE CHRISTIANS
IN NORTH AFRICA SAID, 'THAT'S
00:22:46.93\00:22:51.33
AGAINST THE LAW.' AND THEY
WOULD DEFACE THE ROMAN GODS.
00:22:51.37\00:22:55.40
THEY CALLED IT 'VANDALISM'.
SO WHENEVER ANYBODY IN ROME
00:22:55.44\00:22:58.91
BROKE THE ARMS OFF - YOU EVER
SEE ROMAN STATUES AND THEY'RE
00:22:58.94\00:23:01.38
MISSING AN ARM AND THE NOSE
IS GONE - A LOT OF THAT WAS DONE
00:23:01.41\00:23:03.65
BY VANDALS THAT
SAID, 'THIS IS IDOLATRY.
00:23:03.68\00:23:06.58
YOU'RE WORSHIPING THESE ROMAN
GODS.' BUT THOSE KINGDOMS WERE
00:23:06.61\00:23:10.32
LATER ATTACKED.
ALRIGHT, SO BEFORE I LEAVE
00:23:10.35\00:23:13.39
DANIEL I WANT YOU
TO NOTICE SOMETHING.
00:23:13.42\00:23:15.52
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE BIBLE
SCHOLARS, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT
00:23:15.56\00:23:18.46
THERE ARE SOME SIMILARITIES
BETWEEN DANIEL 2, WHERE THERE'S
00:23:18.49\00:23:22.73
THIS IMAGE OUTLINING
THE KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD.
00:23:22.76\00:23:25.53
THAT PROPHECY IS GIVEN IN A
GREAT IDOL THAT IS THE DES -
00:23:25.57\00:23:29.60
IT'S THEN DESTROYED. IT'S
A GREAT IDOL WITH A HEAD OF
00:23:29.64\00:23:31.97
GOLD AND ARMS OF SILVER AND
A BELLY OF BRONZE AND LEGS OF
00:23:32.01\00:23:35.14
IRON AND FEET OF IRON AND
CLAY. IN THE FOURTH BEAST, WHAT
00:23:35.18\00:23:39.55
KIND OF TEETH DID IT HAVE? IRON.
00:23:39.58\00:23:41.52
IRON TEETH. AND IN
THE TOES YOU'VE GOT IRON
00:23:41.55\00:23:46.72
AND CLAY AND THERE'S TEN
TOES. AND SO, YOU'LL SEE THAT
00:23:46.76\00:23:49.19
THERE'S SIMILARITIES.
RIGHT AWAY YOU'LL NOTICE,
00:23:49.22\00:23:51.73
BETWEEN DANIEL 2, DANIEL 7,
REVELATION 13, REVELATION 12 -
00:23:51.76\00:23:58.60
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT ALL OF
THESE THINGS ARE TALKING ABOUT
00:23:58.63\00:24:01.34
THE SAME WORLD POWERS
THAT WOULD IMPACT GOD'S KINGDOM
00:24:01.37\00:24:04.91
IN THE LAST DAYS. AND
SO, IF YOU LOOK NOW IN -
00:24:04.94\00:24:11.35
QUESTION #9: IN THE DANIEL
7 PROPHECY, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
00:24:11.38\00:24:19.02
IT SAYS, "I CONSIDERED" - AND I
STARTED READING THIS TO YOU - "I
00:24:19.05\00:24:22.22
CONSIDERED THE HORNS, AND,
BEHOLD, THERE CAME UP AMONG THEM
00:24:22.26\00:24:25.36
ANOTHER LITTLE HORN.
BEFORE WHOM THERE WERE THREE OF
00:24:25.39\00:24:29.96
THE FIRST HORNS PLUCKED UP
BY THE ROOTS:" - SO YOU'VE GOT
00:24:30.00\00:24:32.67
THESE TEN DIVISIONS OF THE
ROMAN EMPIRE AND IT INCLUDED THE
00:24:32.70\00:24:36.10
VANDALS, THE
HERULI, AND THE OSTRAGOTHS.
00:24:36.14\00:24:38.87
BUT WHEN THIS LITTLE HORN POWER
COMES UP THAT SPEAKS GREAT WORDS
00:24:38.91\00:24:42.51
AGAINST THE MOST HIGH AND WEARS
OUT THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH
00:24:42.54\00:24:45.58
AND THINKS TO CHANGE TIMES AND
LAWS, THAT POWER, WHEN IT COMES
00:24:45.61\00:24:49.98
UP, IT UPROOTS THREE. MAKE A
NOTE OF THAT. I'M GOING TO SHOW
00:24:50.02\00:24:54.26
YOU, HISTORICALLY,
HOW THAT WAS FULFILLED.
00:24:54.29\00:24:56.56
"AND, BEHOLD, IN THIS HORN WERE
EYES LIKE THE EYES OF A MAN," -
00:24:56.59\00:24:59.49
SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS
POWER - "AND A MOUTH SPEAKING" -
00:24:59.53\00:25:02.33
POMPOUS WORDS OR
- "GREAT THINGS."
00:25:02.36\00:25:05.97
SO HOW IS THE BEAST IN
REVELATION 13, NOW, SIMILAR TO
00:25:06.00\00:25:09.40
THE VISION IN DANIEL CHAPTER 7?
IT SAYS, "NOW THE BEAST WHICH I
00:25:09.44\00:25:13.51
SAW WAS LIKE A LEOPARD, HIS FEET
WERE LIKE THE FEET OF A BEAR.
00:25:13.54\00:25:16.88
AND HIS MOUTH LIKE
THE MOUTH OF A LION."
00:25:16.91\00:25:19.75
NOW, DID YOU SEE, IN DANIEL 7,
A LION, A BEAR, AND A LEOPARD?
00:25:19.78\00:25:26.15
THAT MEANS THIS BEAST IS ALL
BUILT ON THE HISTORY OF THOSE
00:25:26.19\00:25:29.92
FOUR MAIN KINGDOMS.
THERE'S A CONNECTION HERE.
00:25:29.96\00:25:32.33
YOU MIGHT NOTICE THAT, IN
DANIEL, IT SAYS, 'LION, BEAR,
00:25:32.36\00:25:38.97
LEOPARD.' IN REVELATION
IS SAYS, LEOPARD, BEAR, LION.
00:25:39.00\00:25:44.77
IT'S OPPOSITE. WHY? VERY
SIMPLE, BECAUSE DANIEL IS
00:25:44.81\00:25:48.01
LOOKING FORWARD IN HIS PROPHECY.
JOHN IS NOW LOOKING BACK.
00:25:48.04\00:25:52.11
SO YOU'VE GOT THE EXACT
SAME SEQUENCE, TOO, FROM THEIR
00:25:52.15\00:25:54.15
PERSPECTIVE. AND SO,
IT'S TALKING ABOUT THESE
00:25:54.18\00:25:57.95
POWERS THAT HAD OCCUPIED GOD'S
PEOPLE AND PERSECUTED GOD'S
00:25:57.99\00:26:01.72
PEOPLE IN THE JEWISH HISTORY.
AND THEN THERE'S A NEW POWER
00:26:01.76\00:26:05.16
THAT WAS HAPPENING IN
REVELATION RIGHT DURING THE TIME
00:26:05.19\00:26:08.20
WHEN JOHN WROTE
IT. ROME WAS IN POWER.
00:26:08.23\00:26:11.00
JOHN WAS A PRISONER ON THE ISLE
OF PATMOS, BY THE KINGDOM OF
00:26:11.03\00:26:15.00
ROME, FOR HIS FAITH. AND
IT SAYS - IN THIS BEAST, IT
00:26:15.04\00:26:20.21
SAYS, "HIS MOUTH LIKE THE MOUTH
OF A LION. THE DRAGON GAVE HIM
00:26:20.24\00:26:23.85
HIS POWER, HIS
THRONE, AND GREAT AUTHORITY."
00:26:23.88\00:26:28.08
NOW, WE ALL KNOW THAT THE
DRAGON, OF COURSE, BEHIND THE
00:26:28.12\00:26:31.12
DRAGON YOU'VE GOT THE DEVIL -
CALLS HIM THE OLD SERPENT, THE
00:26:31.15\00:26:33.66
DRAGON - BUT THE DRAGON WAS
OPERATING THROUGH THE POWER OF
00:26:33.69\00:26:36.86
ROME. WHEN IT SAYS
THE DRAGON TRIED TO
00:26:36.89\00:26:39.73
DEVOUR THE MAN CHILD
AS SOON AS IT WAS BORN.
00:26:39.76\00:26:43.00
WELL, THE ROMAN POWER - THE
DEVIL USED THE ROMAN POWER TO
00:26:43.03\00:26:45.80
DESTROY JESUS - OR TRY TO
DESTROY HIM - WHEN HE WAS A
00:26:45.83\00:26:48.34
BABY. SO, THE DEVIL WAS WORKING
00:26:48.37\00:26:51.01
THROUGH ROME WHEN
CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED.
00:26:51.04\00:26:53.84
THE DEVIL WAS USING THAT KINGDOM
TO PERSECUTE CHRISTIANITY,
00:26:53.88\00:26:57.18
BUT IT WAS THE
KINGDOM OF PAGAN ROME.
00:26:57.21\00:27:00.85
BUT PAGAN ROME THEN GOES
THROUGH A CHANGE WHEN IT FALLS.
