00:01:39.09\00:01:48.07
>>A LITTLE WHILE AGO - A FEW
YEARS AGO - A TEENAGE GIRL IN
00:01:48.10\00:01:51.74
VIRGINIA WAS KIND OF SHOCKED
WHEN SHE SAW, IN HER BACKYARD, A
00:01:51.77\00:01:56.21
TURTLE WITH TWO HEADS. >>WOW.
00:01:56.24\00:01:58.81
>>AND SHE FELT SORRY FOR
THE POOR THING AND WAS A LITTLE
00:01:58.85\00:02:02.88
SHOCKED AND DIDN'T
KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO REACT.
00:02:02.92\00:02:04.69
SHE TRIED TO FEED IT SOME
LETTUCE AND BOTH HEADS WERE SORT
00:02:04.72\00:02:07.09
OF FIGHTING FOR THE
LETTUCE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
00:02:07.12\00:02:09.76
TWO-HEADEDNESS IS NOT
COMPLETELY UNHEARD OF IN THE
00:02:09.79\00:02:13.70
ANIMAL KINGDOM.
USUALLY THOSE CREATURES DO NOT
00:02:13.73\00:02:16.16
LIVE VERY LONG BECAUSE THEY FEEL
- THE TWO MINDS ARE TELLING THE
00:02:16.20\00:02:21.54
BODY TO DO TWO DIFFERENT THINGS
AND THEY CAN NEVER SEEM TO AGREE
00:02:21.57\00:02:25.34
AND THEY JUST DON'T
SEEM TO SURVIVE IN THE WILD.
00:02:25.37\00:02:28.68
BUT YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING
WITH FOUR HEADS AND YOU'VE NEVER
00:02:28.71\00:02:33.98
SEEN ANYTHING WITH SEVEN
HEADS, BUT THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT
00:02:34.02\00:02:38.02
CREATURES WITH FOUR HEADS AND
SEVEN HEADS AND, IN PARTICULAR,
00:02:38.05\00:02:41.86
THERE'S A CREATURE THAT
KEEPS REAPPEARING IN THE BOOK OF
00:02:41.89\00:02:45.56
REVELATION WITH SEVEN HEADS AND
TEN HORNS, AND YOU'LL FIND THE
00:02:45.59\00:02:49.36
TEN HORNS ON ANOTHER
BEAST IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL.
00:02:49.40\00:02:52.80
AND, AS WE LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE,
YOU'LL SEE THAT THIS IS
00:02:52.83\00:02:56.60
TYPICALLY TALKING
ABOUT THE SAME POWER.
00:02:56.64\00:02:59.91
WE NEED TO IDENTIFY THAT POWER
BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THE MAIN
00:02:59.94\00:03:03.28
PLAYERS IN THE LAST DAYS.
THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT IS
00:03:03.31\00:03:06.05
DEALING WITH THE
SUBJECT A WOMAN RIDES A BEAST .
00:03:06.08\00:03:10.05
AND THIS HEARKENS FROM A
PROPHECY AND A PICTURE THAT
00:03:10.09\00:03:12.85
YOU'LL FIND IN REVELATION 17.
00:03:12.89\00:03:15.46
NOW, IN THIS PRESENTATION,
IN PARTICULAR, WE'RE GOING TO BE
00:03:15.49\00:03:17.83
TALKING ABOUT, 'WHAT IS THIS
BEAST THAT KEEPS REAPPEARING IN
00:03:17.86\00:03:23.13
THE BOOKS OF
REVELATION AND DANIEL?'
00:03:23.16\00:03:26.63
IF YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES
YOU'LL WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT
00:03:26.67\00:03:27.94
REVELATION CHAPTER 17 AND THERE
IT SAYS, "SO HE CARRIED ME AWAY
00:03:27.97\00:03:33.14
IN THE SPIRIT
INTO THE WILDERNESS.
00:03:33.17\00:03:36.71
AND I SAW A WOMAN SITTING ON A
SCARLET BEAST WHICH WAS FULL OF
00:03:36.75\00:03:41.15
NAMES OF BLASPHEMY, HAVING
SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS."
00:03:41.18\00:03:46.65
NOW, WE DISCUSSED THIS EARLIER
AND WE'LL GIVE YOU SOME MORE
00:03:46.69\00:03:48.92
SCRIPTURES FOR IT, BUT IN THESE
BIBLE SYMBOLS A WOMAN REPRESENTS
00:03:48.96\00:03:52.79
A CHURCH. 'HUSBANDS
LOVE YOUR WIVES,' PAUL
00:03:52.83\00:03:56.13
SAYS, 'EVEN AS CHRIST LOVED THE
CHURCH AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR IT.
00:03:56.16\00:04:00.17
I'VE LIKENED THE DAUGHTER OF
ZION TO A DELICATE AND COMELY
00:04:00.20\00:04:03.17
WOMAN.' ALL
THROUGH THE OLD TESTAMENT
00:04:03.20\00:04:05.27
GOD COMPARES
ISRAEL TO HIS BRIDE.
00:04:05.31\00:04:08.81
SO HIS PEOPLE - IT'S
OFTEN IDENTIFIED WITH A WOMAN.
00:04:08.84\00:04:11.55
YOU'VE GOT TWO DIFFERENT KINDS
OF WOMAN THAT ARE THERE, BOTH IN
00:04:11.58\00:04:14.35
THE OLD AND THE NEW TESTAMENT,
THE FAITHFUL AND THE UNFAITHFUL,
00:04:14.38\00:04:18.59
AND THIS WOMAN IS, EVIDENTLY,
NOT THE FAITHFUL ONE BECAUSE IT
00:04:18.62\00:04:22.92
SAYS SHE'S GOT A PARAGRAPH
ON HER FOREHEAD THAT SAYS,
00:04:22.96\00:04:25.76
'MOTHER OF
HARLOTS'. THAT WOULD SORT OF
00:04:25.79\00:04:27.03
BE A CLUE, RIGHT?
SHE'S NOT THE FAITHFUL WIFE.
00:04:27.10\00:04:31.00
NOW, YOU SEE THESE TWO WOMEN
IDENTIFIED THERE IN REVELATION -
00:04:31.03\00:04:33.94
REVELATION 12
YOU'VE GOT THE GOOD ONE.
00:04:33.97\00:04:36.50
SO, WHAT'S THE CONNECTION NOW
BETWEEN THE WOMAN IN REVELATION
00:04:36.54\00:04:41.28
12 - THERE'S ANOTHER
BEAST THAT APPEARS TO HER.
00:04:41.31\00:04:44.85
YOU LOOK IN REVELATION 12, VERSE
3, "AND THERE APPEARED ANOTHER
00:04:44.88\00:04:47.75
WONDER IN HEAVEN: AND BEHOLD
A GREAT RED DRAGON - SAME AS THE
00:04:47.78\00:04:51.95
SCARLET THAT YOU FIND IN
REVELATION 17 - "HAVING SEVEN
00:04:51.99\00:04:55.49
HEADS AND TEN HORNS," - SAME
BEAST - "AND SEVEN CROWNS UPON
00:04:55.52\00:04:59.59
HIS HEADS." AND IT GOES ON TO
SAY THAT THIS BEAST IS TRYING TO
00:04:59.63\00:05:04.23
ATTACK THIS WOMAN. SO
HERE IN REVELATION 17 YOU'VE
00:05:04.27\00:05:07.07
GOT THIS RED SEVEN-HEADED
TEN-HORNED BEAST THE
00:05:07.10\00:05:10.21
WOMAN IS RIDING THE
BEAST. THEY'RE IN COOPERATION.
00:05:10.24\00:05:13.91
AND THEN YOU GO TO REVELATION
12, THAT SAME BEAST IS TRYING TO
00:05:13.94\00:05:17.05
DESTROY THIS WOMAN.
SHE'S CLOTHED WITH LIGHT -
00:05:17.08\00:05:19.88
THE SYMBOL OF GOD'S
CHURCH. I HAVE ANOTHER STUDY
00:05:19.91\00:05:21.72
TALKING ABOUT THAT. NOW
GO TO REVELATION 13 - YOU
00:05:21.75\00:05:26.29
KNOW REVELATION 13 -
YOU'VE HEARD OF 6-6-6?
00:05:26.32\00:05:29.16
>>YEAH. >>MARK OF THE BEAST?
00:05:29.19\00:05:30.73
THAT'S REVELATION 13. AND
YOU CAN READ THERE, IT SAYS,
00:05:30.76\00:05:35.10
"AND I SAW A BEAST RISING UP OUT
OF THE SEA," - NOTICE THE SEA
00:05:35.13\00:05:39.10
- "HAVING SEVEN HEADS AND
TEN HORNS" - SOUND FAMILIAR?
00:05:39.13\00:05:44.54
- "AND ON HIS HORNS TEN CROWNS,
AND ON HIS HEADS A BLASPHEMOUS
00:05:44.57\00:05:48.64
NAME." BLASPHEMY IS WHEN SOMEONE
00:05:48.68\00:05:51.25
IS DEGRADING GOD BY PUTTING
THEMSELVES IN THE PLACE OF GOD
00:05:51.28\00:05:55.15
OR CLAIMING THE PREROGATIVES OF
GOD. AND SO, YOU NOTICE THAT THE
00:05:55.18\00:05:59.12
WOMAN, NAMES OF BLASPHEMY -
DANIEL 7 TALKS ABOUT THIS BEAST
00:05:59.15\00:06:03.46
POWER AS BLASPHEMY AND HERE
YOU SEE THAT CREATURE AGAIN.
00:06:03.49\00:06:07.93
NOW, I JUST NEED TO TELL
EVERYBODY, STRAIGHT UP, AS
00:06:07.96\00:06:11.40
NICELY AS I CAN, THAT - YOU WANT
ME TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, RIGHT?
00:06:11.43\00:06:15.64
>>YEAH. >>PAUL ASKS A QUESTION.
00:06:15.67\00:06:18.31
HE SAID, 'AM I YOUR ENEMY
BECAUSE I TELL YOU THE TRUTH?'
00:06:18.34\00:06:21.51
I HOPE YOU DIDN'T COME BECAUSE
YOU JUST WANT ME TO PREACH
00:06:21.54\00:06:23.95
SMOOTH THINGS. YOU
WANT TO KNOW, 'WHAT
00:06:23.98\00:06:25.55
DOES THE BIBLE REALLY SAY?'
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, GOD'S WORD
00:06:25.58\00:06:29.32
IS VERY FAITHFUL TO NOT
ONLY TALK ABOUT THE WAY HE
00:06:29.35\00:06:32.29
WOULD BLESS HIS PEOPLE.
AND THERE WERE MANY TIMES GOD'S
00:06:32.32\00:06:35.06
PEOPLE WERE FAITHFUL AND
THERE WERE MIRACLES WROUGHT.
00:06:35.09\00:06:37.26
HE SAID, 'ONE OF YOU WILL CHASE
A THOUSAND.' AND THEN HE SAID,
00:06:37.29\00:06:41.26
'YOU'LL TURN FROM ME.
YOU'LL WORSHIP OTHER GODS.'
00:06:41.30\00:06:43.60
AND HE PROPHESIED
THEIR UNFAITHFULNESS.
00:06:43.63\00:06:46.43
AND THE WORD THAT GOD USED, HE
SAID, 'YOU WILL GO WHORING AFTER
00:06:46.47\00:06:49.64
OTHER GODS.' HE'S
TALKING ABOUT HIS PEOPLE.
00:06:49.67\00:06:54.01
NOW, HE ALSO DOES THAT
IN NEW TESTAMENT TIMES.
00:06:54.04\00:06:58.45
EVEN PAUL SAID, 'I KNOW, AFTER
MY DEPARTURE, GRIEVOUS WOLVES
00:06:58.48\00:07:01.28
WILL COME IN NOT
SPARING THE FLOCK.
00:07:01.32\00:07:03.32
FROM AMONG YOUR OWN SELVES
PEOPLE WILL ARISE SPEAKING
00:07:03.35\00:07:06.35
PERVERSE THINGS TO DRAW AWAY
DISCIPLES AFTER THEMSELVES.' SO,
00:07:06.39\00:07:10.23
EVEN PAUL PREDICTED SOMETHING'S
GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE CHURCH.
00:07:10.26\00:07:12.53
THE DEVIL IS GOING TO COME AFTER
THE CHURCH AND THERE'S GOING TO
00:07:12.56\00:07:15.03
BE MAJOR UNFAITHFULNESS.
WELL, I'M GOING TO TELL YOU
00:07:15.06\00:07:19.77
RIGHT NOW, IN REVELATION CHAPTER
13 - IT'S NOT JUST ONE BEAST -
00:07:19.80\00:07:23.44
REVELATION CHAPTER 13, THERE ARE
TWO BEASTS. DID YOU KNOW THAT?
00:07:23.47\00:07:26.71
WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THE MARK OF
THE BEAST - CHAPTER ACTUALLY HAS
00:07:26.74\00:07:28.81
TWO BEASTS. YOU SEE
IN CHAPTER 13, FIRST FEW
00:07:28.84\00:07:32.28
VERSES TALKS ABOUT THE FIRST
BEAST. LATER ON, YOU GET TO
00:07:32.31\00:07:36.08
VERSE 11, IT SAYS, 'AND
THEN I SAW A SECOND BEAST.'
00:07:36.12\00:07:38.65
I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, I'M
NOT TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE, I'M
00:07:38.69\00:07:42.59
TALKING ABOUT SYSTEMS AND
AREAS WHERE CHURCHES HAVE BEEN
00:07:42.62\00:07:47.76
DISOBEDIENT. AND THIS HAS
BEEN FORETOLD IN PROPHECY.
00:07:47.76\00:07:51.93
SO YOU WANT ME TO
KEEP GOING? >>YES.
00:07:51.97\00:07:53.70
>>I JUST - I
WANT TO BE FAITHFUL.
00:07:53.74\00:07:54.94
I WANT TO BE KIND, BUT I DON'T
WANT TO MINCE WORDS WITH YOU.
00:07:54.97\00:07:58.54
SO WITH THAT BACKGROUND,
YOU'VE GOT THIS BEAST THAT KEEPS
00:07:58.57\00:08:01.68
APPEARING -
SEVEN HEADS, TEN HORNS.
00:08:01.71\00:08:03.91
WE'RE GOING TO FIND
OUT 'WHO IS THIS BEAST?'
00:08:03.95\00:08:05.88
IT'S ALSO KNOW
AS 'THE ANTICHRIST'.
00:08:05.91\00:08:08.02
NOW, THE WORD 'ANTICHRIST'
MEANS 'AGAINST CHRIST'.
00:08:08.05\00:08:11.82
HOW MANY TIMES DOES THE
WORD 'ANTICHRIST' APPEAR IN
00:08:11.85\00:08:13.49
REVELATION? NOT AT ALL. I
TOLD YOU THAT EARLIER - IT'S
00:08:13.52\00:08:18.13
ONLY IN THE LETTERS OF JOHN.
AND JOHN SAYS THERE ALREADY WERE
00:08:18.16\00:08:22.73
MANY ANTICHRISTS, EVEN IN HIS
DAY. SO THE WORD 'ANTICHRIST'
00:08:22.76\00:08:25.90
CAN BE USED BROADLY, BUT
THE MAIN BEAST IS ALSO CALLED
00:08:25.93\00:08:28.84
'THE ANTICHRIST'.
IT'S LIKE THE INDUSTRIAL
00:08:28.87\00:08:31.87
STRENGTH ANTICHRIST ON
STEROIDS THAT YOU FIND THERE
00:08:31.91\00:08:34.51
THROUGH THE BOOK.
ALRIGHT, SO LET'S FIND
00:08:34.54\00:08:36.81
OUT FIRST ABOUT BEASTS.
QUESTION #1: WHAT DOES A
00:08:36.85\00:08:40.18
BEAST REPRESENT IN
PROPHECY? WE'RE GOING TO LET THE
00:08:40.22\00:08:43.55
BIBLE EXPLAIN ITSELF. IF
YOU LOOK, FOR INSTANCE, IN
00:08:43.59\00:08:46.89
DANIEL CHAPTER 7, VERSE 17, IT
SAYS, "THOSE GREAT BEASTS, WHICH
00:08:46.92\00:08:51.56
ARE FOUR, ARE FOUR KINGS
WHICH ARISE OUT OF THE EARTH."
00:08:51.59\00:08:55.63
NOT JUST KINGS, BUT IT ALSO
INCLUDES KINGDOMS - THOSE GREAT
00:08:55.66\00:08:59.00
BEASTS WHICH ARE FOUR - OR, "THE
FOURTH BEAST" - RATHER - "SHALL
00:08:59.03\00:09:02.14
BE THE FOURTH KINGDOM" - SO
YOU'VE GOT - IT'S KINGS - IT'S
00:09:02.17\00:09:05.54
KINGDOMS - IT'S
TALKING ABOUT POWERS.
00:09:05.57\00:09:07.51
LOOK IN DANIEL 8, VERSE 20 AND
YOU'LL SEE THERE WHERE THERE'S
00:09:07.54\00:09:10.88
THIS VISION OF SHEEP AND GOATS
AND IT SAYS, 'THE RAM WHICH YOU
00:09:10.91\00:09:15.05
SAW, HAVING THE TWO HORNS -
THEY ARE THE KINGS OF MEDIA AND
00:09:15.08\00:09:19.69
PERSIA, AND THE MALE GOAT
IS THE KINGDOM OF GREECE."
00:09:19.72\00:09:24.13
SO HERE IT'S GOT A GOAT THAT
REPRESENTS - AND IT SAYS THE
00:09:24.16\00:09:27.46
HORN BETWEEN HIS
EYES IS THE FIRST KING.
00:09:27.50\00:09:30.97
LATER WE LEARN
THAT'S ALEXANDER THE GREAT.
00:09:31.00\00:09:33.44
IT MAKES IT PRETTY CLEAR.
SO, YOU KNOW, IF - TODAY, DO
00:09:33.47\00:09:38.14
WE SOMETIMES USE COUNTRIES
TO ILLUSTRATE - OR ANIMALS
00:09:38.17\00:09:40.81
TO ILLUSTRATE
COUNTRIES? IF I SAY 'BEAR' WHAT
00:09:40.84\00:09:44.05
COUNTRY DO YOU
THINK OF? >>RUSSIA.
00:09:44.08\00:09:45.65
>>RUSSIA. AND, IF I SAY
EAGLE - >>UNITED STATES.
00:09:45.68\00:09:48.35
>>THE UNITED
STATES. AND THE LION IS -
00:09:48.38\00:09:51.55
GREAT BRITAIN, EXACTLY.
SO, IT'S NOT NEW OR UNUSUAL.
00:09:51.59\00:09:56.22
COUNTRIES HAVE DONE THAT AND SO
GOD DOES THIS ALSO IN PROPHECY.
00:09:56.26\00:09:59.89
ALRIGHT, QUESTION 2: IS THERE
A BEAST WITH TEN HORNS IN DANIEL
00:09:59.93\00:10:04.17
CHAPTER 7. NOW
WE'RE JUMPING TO THE OLD
00:10:04.20\00:10:07.17
TESTAMENT AND I JUST
WANT TO MAKE SURE WE SET THE
00:10:07.20\00:10:09.37
FOUNDATION FOR REVELATION.
YOU REMEMBER WHAT I SAID, OUT
00:10:09.40\00:10:12.14
OF 404 VERSES IN THE BOOK
OF REVELATION, 278 OF THEM ARE
00:10:12.17\00:10:17.38
FOUND ALMOST
VERBATIM IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:10:17.41\00:10:20.72
SO, TO UNDERSTAND REVELATION,
IT'S ALL ROOTED IN THE OLD
00:10:20.75\00:10:24.35
TESTAMENT.
YOU'VE GOT TO GO BACK.
00:10:24.39\00:10:26.69
>>YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT
EVERY MONTH ON GOOGLE, ABOUT 20
00:10:26.72\00:10:30.39
MILLION PEOPLE DO A SEARCH
ASKING 'HOW WILL THE WORLD END?'
00:10:30.43\00:10:34.46
PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW. THE
ANSWERS TO THOSE QUESTIONS
00:10:34.46\00:10:38.13
ARE REALLY FOUND IN THE
BIBLE AND THE BIBLE PROPHECIES,
00:10:38.17\00:10:40.74
IN PARTICULAR.
THAT'S WHY AMAZING FACTS HAS
00:10:40.77\00:10:43.24

ELSE, BECAUSE GOD'S
MESSAGE IS OUR MISSION.
00:11:14.24\00:11:19.04
>>LOOK IN DANIEL CHAPTER 7,
VERSES 2 AND 3 AND DANIEL SAYS,
00:11:19.07\00:11:23.21
"...IN MY VISION BY NIGHT,
AND BEHOLD, THE FOUR WINDS OF
00:11:23.24\00:11:27.18
HEAVEN WERE
STIRRING UP THE GREAT SEA."
00:11:27.22\00:11:30.22
- SO IT TALKS ABOUT THESE
WINDS STRIVING - "AND FOUR GREAT
00:11:30.25\00:11:33.29
BEASTS CAME UP FROM THE SEA,
EACH DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER."
00:11:33.32\00:11:37.63
MATTER OF FACT, I'M GOING
TO READ SEVERAL VERSES HERE IN
00:11:37.66\00:11:39.53
DANIEL CHAPTER 7 - IF YOU
BROUGHT YOUR BIBLE WITH YOU, YOU
00:11:39.56\00:11:43.06
MAY WANT TO JOIN ME
AND TURN THERE REAL QUICK.
00:11:43.10\00:11:45.17
LET'S JUST TAKE A LOOK, FOR
INSTANCE, VERSE 3 - DANIEL 7:3 -
00:11:45.20\00:11:48.60
"AND FOUR GREAT BEASTS CAME
UP FROM THE SEA, EACH DIFFERENT
00:11:48.64\00:11:51.04
FROM THE OTHER. THE
FIRST WAS LIKE A LION."
00:11:51.07\00:11:53.91
- LIKE A WHAT? >>LION.
00:11:53.94\00:11:55.41
>>"FIRST WAS LIKE A LION AND IT
HAD EAGLE'S WINGS AND I WATCHED
00:11:55.44\00:11:59.65
UNTIL THE WINGS WERE PLUCKED
OFF: AND IT WAS LIFTED UP FROM
00:11:59.68\00:12:02.52
THE EARTH AND MADE TO STAND ON
TWO FEET LIKE A MAN, AND A MAN'S
00:12:02.55\00:12:05.89
HEART WAS GIVEN TO IT.
AND SUDDENLY ANOTHER BEAST, A
00:12:05.92\00:12:09.16
SECOND LIKE A BEAR IT WAS RAISED
UP ON ONE SIDE, AND HAD THREE
00:12:09.19\00:12:13.19
RIBS IN ITS MOUTH
BETWEEN ITS TEETH.
00:12:13.23\00:12:15.30
AND THEY SAID THUS TO IT:
'ARISE, DEVOUR MUCH FLESH.' AND
00:12:15.33\00:12:18.97
AFTER THIS I LOOKED AND THERE
WAS ANOTHER LIKE A LEOPARD WHICH
00:12:19.00\00:12:22.14
HAD ON ITS BACK FOUR WINGS OF A
BIRD AND THE BEAST ALSO HAD FOUR
00:12:22.17\00:12:26.04
HEADS" - I TOLD YOU, YOU CAN
FIND A BEAST WITH FOUR HEADS IN
00:12:26.07\00:12:28.24
THE BIBLE - "AND
DOMINION WAS GIVEN TO IT."
00:12:28.28\00:12:31.75
AND THEN, NOW THIS IS THE BEAST
THAT IS THE ANTICHRIST - "AND
00:12:31.78\00:12:36.38
THEN, AFTER THIS, I SAW IN
THE NIGHT VISIONS AND BEHOLD, A
00:12:36.42\00:12:39.79
FOURTH BEAST, DREADFUL AND
TERRIBLE, EXCEEDINGLY STRONG.
00:12:39.82\00:12:45.06
IT HAD HUGE IRON TEETH: IT WAS
DEVOURING, BREAKING IN PIECES,
00:12:45.09\00:12:49.40
AND TRAMPLING THE RESIDUE WITH
ITS FEET, IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM
00:12:49.43\00:12:52.37
ALL THE BEASTS THAT WERE BEFORE
IT, AND IT HAD TEN HORNS."
00:12:52.40\00:12:57.31
THAT SOUND FAMILIAR? >>YEP.
00:12:57.34\00:12:59.24
>>I JUST WANT TO
READ A LITTLE FURTHER.
00:12:59.27\00:13:00.51
LET'S GO TO VERSE 8, "I WAS
CONSIDERING THE HORNS, AND THERE
00:13:00.54\00:13:04.98
WAS ANOTHER HORN, A LITTLE ONE,
COMING UP AMONG THEM, BEFORE
00:13:05.01\00:13:08.45
WHOM THREE OF THE FIRST HORNS
WERE PLUCKED OUT BY THE ROOTS."
00:13:08.48\00:13:12.05
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG
AND A KID STARTS GETTING THEIR
00:13:12.09\00:13:13.86
GROWN-UP TEETH AND STARTS
PUSHING OUT THE BABY TEETH, IT'S
00:13:13.89\00:13:16.86
ALMOST THAT KIND OF A PICTURE
THAT THIS LITTLE HORN COMES UP,
00:13:16.89\00:13:19.46
BUT IT'S PUSHING OUT
THREE HORNS AS IT MAKES ITS WAY.
00:13:19.49\00:13:22.90
AND SO - AND IT SAYS, 'IN THIS
HORN' - DON'T MISS THIS - "WERE
00:13:22.93\00:13:27.37
EYES LIKE THE EYES OF A MAN, AND
A MOUTH SPEAKING POMPOUS WORDS."
00:13:27.40\00:13:31.34
OR THAT CAN BE
INTERPRETED 'BLASPHEMOUS' WORDS.
00:13:31.37\00:13:35.68
ALRIGHT, AND THIS FINAL BEAST
DANIEL IS REALLY WORRIED ABOUT
00:13:35.71\00:13:39.08
BECAUSE IT PERSECUTES GOD'S
PEOPLE, YOU READ ON IN THE REST
00:13:39.11\00:13:42.02
OF THE CHAPTER THERE.
BUT I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU
00:13:42.05\00:13:43.82
THE FOUNDATION ABOUT THE
BEAST BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO TRY
00:13:43.85\00:13:45.82
TO IDENTIFY THIS BEAST IN
REVELATION - I SHOULD SAY THE
00:13:45.85\00:13:49.66
BEASTS IN REVELATION -
THAT WILL HAVE A PROMINENT ROLE
00:13:49.69\00:13:54.36
IN THE LAST DAYS. AND
SO, WE LEARNED THAT ONE OF
00:13:54.36\00:13:57.40
THOSE BEASTS IN
DANIEL, THE FOURTH BEAST, ALSO
00:13:57.43\00:13:59.57
HAD TEN HORNS.
"...DEVOURING, BREAKING IN
00:13:59.60\00:14:02.94
PIECES, AND TRAMPLING
THE RESIDUE WITH ITS FEET.
00:14:02.97\00:14:05.57
IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM ALL
THE BEASTS THAT WERE BEFORE IT."
00:14:05.61\00:14:09.04
AND SO I WANT YOU TO
NOTICE SOME OF THESE POINTS.
00:14:09.08\00:14:11.21
ALRIGHT, FIRST OF ALL, THESE
CREATURES IN DANIEL, THEY COME
00:14:11.25\00:14:13.68
UP OUT OF THE SEA.
SO WHAT DOES THE WIND
00:14:13.72\00:14:17.12
AND THE SEA REPRESENT?
WELL, WIND, WE TALKED ABOUT THE
00:14:17.15\00:14:21.09
WINDS OF STRIFE THERE, REMEMBER,
IN REVELATION CHAPTER 7.
00:14:21.12\00:14:24.33
IT'S TALKING ABOUT TURMOIL AND
STRIFE, DESTRUCTION, COMMOTION.
00:14:24.36\00:14:28.56
AND WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE
WATERS, THE DEFINITION FOR THESE
00:14:28.60\00:14:31.87
SYMBOLS IS IN THE
BIBLE. THE ANGEL TOLD JOHN, IN
00:14:31.90\00:14:35.04
REVELATION 17, VERSE 15,
"THE WATERS...ARE PEOPLES, AND
00:14:35.07\00:14:39.27
MULTITUDES, AND
NATIONS, AND TONGUES."
00:14:39.31\00:14:41.54
HE'S TALKING ABOUT
VAST NUMBERS OF PEOPLE.
00:14:41.58\00:14:44.31
BY THE WAY, IF YOU READ IN
DANIEL CHAPTER 9 IT SAYS THAT
00:14:44.35\00:14:46.98
THE WICKED POWER WOULD COME LIKE
A FLOOD - TALKING ABOUT A FLOOD
00:14:47.02\00:14:49.85
OF ARMY - A FLOOD OF PEOPLE.
AND SO, THIS BEAST POWER RISES
00:14:49.88\00:14:53.22
UP OUT OF A DENSELY
POPULATED PART OF CIVILIZATION
00:14:53.25\00:14:56.76
AND THE WORLD.
ALRIGHT, NEXT, QUESTION 4: WHAT
00:14:56.79\00:15:00.66
KINGDOM DOES THE LION REPRESENT?
I WANT TO MARCH THROUGH BECAUSE,
00:15:00.70\00:15:03.97
IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE
FOURTH BEAST, YOU'VE GOT TO LOOK
00:15:04.00\00:15:06.80
AT THE SEQUENCE OF HISTORY AND
IT JUST BECOMES REALLY CLEAR.
00:15:06.84\00:15:10.01
WHAT KINGDOM DOES
THE LION REPRESENT?
00:15:10.04\00:15:12.41
THE LION IS BABYLON. IF
YOU LOOK IN CHAPTER 2 OF
00:15:12.44\00:15:17.78
DANIEL, DANIEL MAKES IT
PRETTY CLEAR TO NEBUCHADNEZZAR.
00:15:17.81\00:15:20.75
HE SAID, 'YOU ARE
THAT FIRST PRIMARY KINGDOM.
00:15:20.78\00:15:22.85
YOU ARE THE HEAD OF GOLD.' IT
JUST SAYS BABYLON IS THE LION.
00:15:22.88\00:15:26.22
MATTER OF FACT, IF YOU GO TO
SOME OF THE MUSEUMS, THEY HAVE
00:15:26.25\00:15:29.76
RECOVERED SOME OF THE ANCIENT
GATES FROM BABYLON - I THINK
00:15:29.79\00:15:33.19
THEY CALL IT THE ISHTAR GATE
- AND YOU CAN EVEN SEE THEY HAD
00:15:33.23\00:15:36.46
LIONS WITH WINGS THAT WERE ON -
JUST LIKE IN DANIEL'S VISION, A
00:15:36.50\00:15:40.77
LION WITH TWO WINGS.
WHY DID DANIEL SAY THE LION
00:15:40.80\00:15:43.14
WOULD STAND ON
ITS FEET LIKE A MAN?
00:15:43.17\00:15:45.24
BECAUSE KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR
ENDED UP BEING CONVERTED.
00:15:45.27\00:15:48.58
INSTEAD OF BEING A
BEAST, HE BECAME A SON OF GOD.
00:15:48.61\00:15:52.31
HE BECAME CONVERTED BEFORE THE
END OF HIS LIFE AND HE GLORIFIED
00:15:52.35\00:15:54.45
GOD. IF YOU'VE
READ DANIEL CHAPTER
00:15:54.48\00:15:56.52
4, THAT WOULD BE
IN. WHAT KINGDOM DOES
00:15:56.55\00:16:01.82
THE BEAR REPRESENT? SO
YOU'VE GOT BABYLON, THEN
00:16:01.86\00:16:04.26
YOU'VE GOT THE NEXT KINGDOM.
HE REPRESENTS, IN DANIEL CHAPTER
00:16:04.29\00:16:07.60
7:5, AND WHAT DO THE THREE
RIBS IN HIS MOUTH SYMBOLIZE?
00:16:07.66\00:16:11.53
THIS IS THE MEDO-PERSIAN
KINGDOM, LATER THE PERSIANS,
00:16:11.57\00:16:14.07
THEY WERE MORE POWERFUL AND
THAT'S WHY IT SAYS THE BEAR WAS
00:16:14.10\00:16:16.40
RAISED UP ON ONE SIDE - HE'S
STRONGER ON ONE SIDE - HE'S GOT
00:16:16.44\00:16:20.08
THREE RIBS IN HIS MOUTH.
THIS REPRESENTS THE THREE
00:16:20.11\00:16:22.88
KINGDOMS THAT THE MEDO-PERSIANS
CONQUERED WHEN THEY TOOK THE
00:16:22.91\00:16:26.38
EMPIRE AWAY - THIS
WORLD POWER - FROM BABYLON.
00:16:26.41\00:16:29.95
AND THAT WAS, OF COURSE,
BABYLON, LYDIA, AND EGYPT -
00:16:29.98\00:16:32.65
THAT'S THE THREE
RIBS IN HIS MOUTH.
00:16:32.69\00:16:34.49
AND SO, ALL THESE
THINGS HAPPENED HISTORICALLY.
00:16:34.52\00:16:37.43
NOW, BEFORE I GO ANY FARTHER,
I JUST NEED TO INJECT A THOUGHT.
00:16:37.46\00:16:40.90
THESE BEASTS THAT ARE MENTIONED
HERE IN DANIEL, THEY'RE NOT
00:16:40.93\00:16:45.07
SAYING THEY'RE THE ONLY KINGDOMS
IN THE WORLD, I MEAN, AT THE
00:16:45.10\00:16:48.10
TIME THAT BABYLON RULED, IT WAS
A VAST WORLD EMPIRE, AND SO WERE
00:16:48.14\00:16:51.31
THE GREEKS AND SO
WERE THE PERSIANS.
00:16:51.34\00:16:54.71
IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY, THERE
WERE GREAT EMPIRES - THE INCAS
00:16:54.74\00:16:58.58
IN SOUTH AMERICA, THE TOLTECS
AND YOU HAD THE ROU - KHMER
00:16:58.61\00:17:04.69
EMPIRE AND YOU HAD THE CHINESE,
THE MONGOLS, AND THERE WAS OTHER
00:17:04.72\00:17:08.19
GREAT EMPIRES. THESE
EMPIRES ARE MENTIONED
00:17:08.22\00:17:11.03
BECAUSE THEY ALL
OCCUPIED GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:17:11.06\00:17:14.03
THEY CONTROLLED
THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
00:17:14.10\00:17:16.26
SO THE ONLY EMPIRES THAT ARE
BEING MENTIONED IN THESE VISIONS
00:17:16.30\00:17:19.27
ARE THE ONES THAT HAD A REAL
IMPACT ON THE POLICIES AND THE
00:17:19.30\00:17:23.97
LAND OF ISRAEL,
LATER, GOD'S PEOPLE, OKAY?
00:17:24.01\00:17:27.24
SO THESE ARE THE NATIONS THAT
IT'S DEALING WITH, AND THAT'S
00:17:27.28\00:17:29.81
THE REASON. SO WHAT
KINGDOM IS REPRESENTED
00:17:29.84\00:17:32.18
BY THE LEOPARD WITH
FOUR HEADS? WHAT FOLLOWED THE
00:17:32.21\00:17:36.62
PERSIAN KINGDOM? >>GREECE.
00:17:36.65\00:17:38.55
>>I THINK WE ALL KNOW, ALEXANDER
THE GREAT DEFEATED DARIUS.
00:17:38.59\00:17:41.72
HE WAS THAT NOTABLE HORN THAT
WAS IN THE RAM'S HEAD - OR IN
00:17:41.76\00:17:47.60
THE GOAT'S HEAD - AND THEN HE
ALSO REPRESENTS THE FIRST KING
00:17:47.66\00:17:51.83
OF THE LEOPARD, BUT HE DIED AND
THEN HIS KINGDOM WAS THEN SPREAD
00:17:51.87\00:17:56.14
AMONG HIS FOUR
GENERALS. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT
00:17:56.17\00:18:00.48
THEY HAD A VAST EMPIRE. THE
FOUR GENERALS WHO HEADED THE
00:18:00.51\00:18:04.81
DIVISIONS OF ALEXANDER'S KINGDOM
WERE CASSANDER, LYSIMACHUS,
00:18:04.85\00:18:09.35
PTOLEMY, AND
SELEUCUS. AND SO THESE ARE
00:18:09.38\00:18:12.99
THE FOUR EMPIRES.
YOU CAN SEE THE SCOPE OF
00:18:13.02\00:18:16.19
ALEXANDER'S KINGDOM THERE.
SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT IN JUST TEN
00:18:16.22\00:18:20.20
YEARS HE MARCHED HIS
SOLDIERS 22,000 MILES.
00:18:20.23\00:18:24.43
NOBODY HAS EVER DONE ANYTHING
LIKE THAT IN HISTORY, JUST
00:18:24.47\00:18:27.74
CONQUERING
EVERYTHING EVERY WHERE HE WENT.
00:18:27.77\00:18:29.54
AND HIS APPROACH
WAS VERY DIFFERENT.
00:18:29.57\00:18:31.01
HE DIDN'T JUST WANT TO CONQUER,
HE WANTED TO SPREAD THEIR
00:18:31.04\00:18:33.44
PHILOSOPHY AND WAY OF LIFE.
THEY CALL IT HELLENIZATION.
00:18:33.48\00:18:36.81
THAT'S WHY THE NEW TESTAMENT'S
WRITTEN IN GREEK, BECAUSE THAT
00:18:36.85\00:18:39.08
INFLUENCE EVEN STAYED WITH THE
NEXT EMPIRE THAT WE'RE GOING TO
00:18:39.11\00:18:42.78
GET TO, WHICH IS
OUR NEXT QUESTION.
00:18:42.82\00:18:46.72
WHICH WORLD KINGDOM IS
REPRESENTED BY THE FOURTH BEAST?
00:18:46.76\00:18:50.76
NOW, IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY,
THE WORLD EMPIRE SURROUNDING THE
00:18:50.79\00:18:55.10
MEDITERRANEAN THAT OCCUPIED
ISRAEL - YOU'VE GOT BABYLON,
00:18:55.13\00:18:59.60
YOU'VE GOT MEDO-PERSIA, YOU'VE
GOT GREECE, THEN WHO CONQUERED
00:18:59.63\00:19:04.54
THE GREEKS? >>ROME.
00:19:04.57\00:19:06.44
>>ROME. AND, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S
ALSO INTERESTING IS EACH KINGDOM
00:19:06.47\00:19:11.01
LASTED A LITTLE LONGER
THAN THE ONE BEFORE IT.
00:19:11.05\00:19:14.62
SO THE DEVIL'S LEARNING
SOMETHING ALONG THE WAY AND
00:19:14.65\00:19:16.75
THEY'RE GETTING STRONGER
AND THEY'RE LASTING LONGER.
00:19:16.79\00:19:19.29
YOU CAN READ WHICH KINGDOM IT
WAS, IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE NEW
00:19:19.32\00:19:21.69
TESTAMENT. LUKE 2,
VERSE 1, "AND IT CAME TO
00:19:21.72\00:19:24.49
PASS IN THOSE DAYS THAT A DECREE
WENT OUT FROM CAESAR AUGUSTUS."
00:19:24.53\00:19:28.60
- OCTAVIAN - AUGUSTUS CAESAR
ISSUED THAT DECREE THAT ALL THE
00:19:28.63\00:19:31.93
WORLD SHOULD BE TAXED.
HE WAS THE EMPEROR OF ROME.
00:19:31.97\00:19:36.04
AND SO, THAT'S - BY THE WAY,
WHERE YOU GET THE MONTH AUGUST.
00:19:36.07\00:19:39.41
AND THE REASON FEBRUARY IS SHORT
IS BECAUSE JULIUS CAESAR NAMED A
00:19:39.44\00:19:46.28
MONTH AFTER HIMSELF, THAT'S
CALLED JULY, AND AUGUSTUS CAESAR
00:19:46.31\00:19:49.78
DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS FAIR THAT
JULY WOULD HAVE MORE DAYS AND SO
00:19:49.82\00:19:53.09
HE TOOK SOME DAYS OFF FEBRUARY
TO MAKE SURE AUGUST WAS THE SAME
00:19:53.12\00:19:57.06
LENGTH OF TIME. THAT'S CALLED
TOO MUCH INFORMATION, ISN'T IT?
00:19:57.09\00:20:00.36
(LAUGHTER) OKAY, 'THAT ALL
THE WORLD SHOULD BE REGISTERED'.
00:20:00.40\00:20:04.47
SO, WHY WOULD ROME BE
COMPARED WITH THE TEN HORNS?
00:20:04.50\00:20:10.57
WHY IS IT THE FOURTH
BEAST? WHO WAS RULING THE WORLD
00:20:10.61\00:20:13.94
WHEN JESUS IS BORN? >>ROME.
00:20:13.98\00:20:16.28
>>ROME. IT WAS
ROMAN SOLDIERS THAT
00:20:16.31\00:20:19.11
CRUCIFIED HIM, A ROMAN SPEAR
PIERCED HIS SIDE, THE ROMAN
00:20:19.15\00:20:22.55
NAILS PIERCED HIS HANDS,
ROMAN GUARDS WERE AT THE TOMB.
00:20:22.58\00:20:26.15
ROME WAS THE PRINCIPLE POWER
THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE AT THAT
00:20:26.19\00:20:28.76
TIME, AND ROME WAS VERY INVOLVED
IN ESPECIALLY PERSECUTING THE
00:20:28.79\00:20:32.79
EARLY CHURCH, AS YOU PROBABLY
KNOW FROM JUST YOUR ELEMENTARY
00:20:32.83\00:20:36.93
SCHOOL. YOU ALL
HEARD ABOUT HOW THEY
00:20:36.97\00:20:39.17
USED TO BURN THE
CHRISTIANS IN THE COLOSSEUM.
00:20:39.20\00:20:41.54
SO "THE TEN HORNS WHICH YOU SAW"
- YOU READ IN REVELATION 17:12 -
00:20:41.57\00:20:46.94
"ARE TEN KINGS." WHAT
HAPPENED WHEN ROME, RULED
00:20:46.98\00:20:50.48
BY THE CAESARS, THAT'S BETTER
KNOWN AS PAGAN ROME, WHEN IT
00:20:50.51\00:20:54.58
BEGAN TO FALL BECAUSE THE
BARBARIAN HORDES WERE ATTACKING
00:20:54.62\00:20:57.85
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THEIR REALM,
THEY STARTED LOSING CONTROL.
00:20:57.89\00:21:01.06
THEY HAD PLUNGED INTO SO
MUCH DECADENCE THEY BECAME
00:21:01.09\00:21:03.53
PREOCCUPIED WITH ENTERTAINMENT
- I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THAT.
00:21:03.56\00:21:07.73
IT'S KIND OF HAPPENING TO
US - BECAME SO PREOCCUPIED WITH
00:21:07.76\00:21:11.10
ENTERTAINMENT THAT THE
BARBARIANS STARTED CONQUERING
00:21:11.13\00:21:15.44
THE EDGES OF THE KINGDOM
AND PRETTY SOON ROME FELL.
00:21:15.47\00:21:19.24
IT WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY,
BUT IT FELL PRETTY QUICK -
00:21:19.27\00:21:21.11
ABOUT 476 AD. WHAT WAS
IN ITS PLACE WHEN IT FELL?
00:21:21.14\00:21:25.85
THE ROMAN EMPIRE - AND HERE'S A
MAP THAT REPRESENTS THE VASTNESS
00:21:25.88\00:21:29.75
OF THAT EMPIRE AT ITS ZENITH
- IT THEN DISINTEGRATED AND IT
00:21:29.78\00:21:34.76
LARGELY WAS IN THE
NORTHWESTERN TERRITORY.
00:21:34.79\00:21:39.09
IT FELL INTO TEN DIVISIONS,
THE TEN BRANCHES OF THE ROMAN
00:21:39.13\00:21:44.00
EMPIRE. AND THIS
IS A MAP WITH SOME
00:21:44.03\00:21:46.37
OF THE ANCIENT NAMES OF THOSE
DIVISIONS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
00:21:46.40\00:21:50.31
YOU MIGHT KNOW THEM BY
SOME OF THE MODERN NAMES.
00:21:50.34\00:21:53.34
YOU HAVE THE ALEMANNI,
ANY OF YOU SPEAK SPANISH?
00:21:53.38\00:21:57.01
HOW DO YOU SAY
'GERMAN'? >>ALEMAN.
00:21:57.05\00:21:58.88
>>ALEMAN, YEAH. SO YOU'VE GOT
THE ALEMANNI WERE THE GERMAN,
00:21:58.91\00:22:02.18
THE FRANKS WERE THE FRENCH, THE
ANGLO-SAXONS WERE THE ENGLISH,
00:22:02.22\00:22:06.96
THE SUEVI WAS PORTUGAL, THE
LOMBARDS - ITALY, THE VISIGOTHS
00:22:06.99\00:22:10.99
- SPAIN - AND THEN YOU'LL NOTICE
THREE THAT YOU DON'T HEAR FROM
00:22:11.03\00:22:13.93
MUCH ANYMORE. WE'VE GOT
ALL THE OTHERS ARE STILL THERE.
00:22:13.96\00:22:16.73
YOU'VE GOT THE VANDALS,
THE HERULI, AND THE OSTRAGOTHS.
00:22:16.77\00:22:20.94
NOW THE VANDALS
WERE IN NORTH AFRICA.
00:22:20.97\00:22:23.54
YOU EVER HEARD OF VANDALISM?
THERE WERE A LOT OF CHRISTIANS
00:22:23.57\00:22:27.24
THAT SPREAD THROUGH THE ROMAN
EMPIRE, BECAUSE EVEN BEFORE PAUL
00:22:27.28\00:22:30.21
WAS DEAD, HE SAID THE
GOSPEL'S GONE TO EVERY CREATURE.
00:22:30.25\00:22:32.25
HE MEANT
THROUGHOUT THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
00:22:32.28\00:22:33.92
THERE WERE CHRISTIANS
ALL THROUGH NORTH AFRICA.
00:22:33.95\00:22:36.22
AND WHEN THE CHRISTIANS IN
ROME BEGAN TO GET INVOLVED IN
00:22:36.25\00:22:39.79
IDOLATRY, THE CHRISTIANS
IN NORTH AFRICA SAID, 'THAT'S
00:22:39.82\00:22:44.26
AGAINST THE LAW.' AND THEY
WOULD DEFACE THE ROMAN GODS.
00:22:44.29\00:22:48.30
THEY CALLED IT 'VANDALISM'.
SO WHENEVER ANYBODY IN ROME
00:22:48.33\00:22:51.80
BROKE THE ARMS OFF - YOU EVER
SEE ROMAN STATUES AND THEY'RE
00:22:51.83\00:22:54.20
MISSING AN ARM AND THE NOSE
IS GONE - A LOT OF THAT WAS DONE
00:22:54.24\00:22:56.47
BY VANDALS THAT
SAID, 'THIS IS IDOLATRY.
00:22:56.50\00:22:59.41
YOU'RE WORSHIPING THESE ROMAN
GODS.' BUT THOSE KINGDOMS WERE
00:22:59.44\00:23:03.28
LATER ATTACKED.
ALRIGHT, SO BEFORE I LEAVE
00:23:03.31\00:23:06.35
DANIEL I WANT YOU
TO NOTICE SOMETHING.
00:23:06.38\00:23:08.48
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE BIBLE
SCHOLARS, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT
00:23:08.52\00:23:11.42
THERE ARE SOME SIMILARITIES
BETWEEN DANIEL 2, WHERE THERE'S
00:23:11.45\00:23:15.72
THIS IMAGE OUTLINING
THE KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD.
00:23:15.76\00:23:18.53
THAT PROPHECY IS GIVEN IN A
GREAT IDOL THAT IS THE DES -
00:23:18.56\00:23:22.56
IT'S THEN DESTROYED. IT'S
A GREAT IDOL WITH A HEAD OF
00:23:22.60\00:23:24.93
GOLD AND ARMS OF SILVER AND
A BELLY OF BRONZE AND LEGS OF
00:23:24.97\00:23:28.10
IRON AND FEET OF IRON AND
CLAY. IN THE FOURTH BEAST, WHAT
00:23:28.14\00:23:32.51
KIND OF TEETH
DID IT HAVE? >>IRON.
00:23:32.54\00:23:34.48
>>IRON TEETH. AND IN
THE TOES YOU'VE GOT IRON
00:23:34.51\00:23:39.68
AND CLAY AND THERE'S TEN
TOES. AND SO, YOU'LL SEE THAT
00:23:39.71\00:23:42.15
THERE'S SIMILARITIES.
RIGHT AWAY YOU'LL NOTICE,
00:23:42.18\00:23:44.69
BETWEEN DANIEL 2, DANIEL 7,
REVELATION 13, REVELATION 12 -
00:23:44.72\00:23:51.59
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT ALL OF
THESE THINGS ARE TALKING ABOUT
00:23:51.63\00:23:54.23
THE SAME WORLD POWERS
THAT WOULD IMPACT GOD'S KINGDOM
00:23:54.30\00:23:57.80
IN THE LAST DAYS. AND
SO, IF YOU LOOK NOW IN -
00:23:57.83\00:24:04.37
QUESTION #9: IN THE DANIEL
7 PROPHECY, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
00:24:04.41\00:24:12.05
IT SAYS, "I CONSIDERED" - AND I
STARTED READING THIS TO YOU - "I
00:24:12.08\00:24:15.25
CONSIDERED THE HORNS, AND,
BEHOLD, THERE CAME UP AMONG THEM
00:24:15.28\00:24:18.39
ANOTHER LITTLE HORN.
BEFORE WHOM THERE WERE THREE OF
00:24:18.42\00:24:23.02
THE FIRST HORNS PLUCKED UP
BY THE ROOTS:" - SO YOU'VE GOT
00:24:23.06\00:24:25.73
THESE TEN DIVISIONS OF THE
ROMAN EMPIRE AND IT INCLUDED THE
00:24:25.76\00:24:29.13
VANDALS, THE
HERULI, AND THE OSTRAGOTHS.
00:24:29.16\00:24:31.90
BUT WHEN THIS LITTLE HORN POWER
COMES UP THAT SPEAKS GREAT WORDS
00:24:31.93\00:24:35.54
AGAINST THE MOST HIGH AND WEARS
OUT THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH
00:24:35.57\00:24:38.61
AND THINKS TO CHANGE TIMES AND
LAWS, THAT POWER, WHEN IT COMES
00:24:38.64\00:24:43.01
UP, IT UPROOTS THREE. MAKE A
NOTE OF THAT. I'M GOING TO SHOW
00:24:43.04\00:24:47.28
YOU, HISTORICALLY,
HOW THAT WAS FULFILLED.
00:24:47.32\00:24:49.58
"AND, BEHOLD, IN THIS HORN WERE
EYES LIKE THE EYES OF A MAN," -
00:24:49.62\00:24:52.52
SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS
POWER - "AND A MOUTH SPEAKING" -
00:24:52.55\00:24:55.32
POMPOUS WORDS OR
- "GREAT THINGS."
00:24:55.36\00:24:58.96
SO HOW IS THE BEAST IN
REVELATION 13, NOW, SIMILAR TO
00:24:58.99\00:25:02.43
THE VISION IN DANIEL CHAPTER 7?
IT SAYS, "NOW THE BEAST WHICH I
00:25:02.46\00:25:06.60
SAW WAS LIKE A LEOPARD, HIS FEET
WERE LIKE THE FEET OF A BEAR.
00:25:06.63\00:25:09.97
AND HIS MOUTH LIKE
THE MOUTH OF A LION."
00:25:10.01\00:25:12.84
NOW, DID YOU SEE, IN DANIEL 7,
A LION, A BEAR, AND A LEOPARD?
00:25:12.87\00:25:19.25
THAT MEANS THIS BEAST IS ALL
BUILT ON THE HISTORY OF THOSE
00:25:19.28\00:25:23.02
FOUR MAIN KINGDOMS.
THERE'S A CONNECTION HERE.
00:25:23.05\00:25:25.42
YOU MIGHT NOTICE THAT, IN
DANIEL, IT SAYS, 'LION, BEAR,
00:25:25.45\00:25:32.09
LEOPARD.' IN REVELATION
IS SAYS, LEOPARD, BEAR, LION.
00:25:32.13\00:25:37.87
IT'S OPPOSITE. WHY? VERY
SIMPLE, BECAUSE DANIEL IS
00:25:37.90\00:25:41.10
LOOKING FORWARD IN HIS PROPHECY.
JOHN IS NOW LOOKING BACK.
00:25:41.14\00:25:45.21
SO YOU'VE GOT THE EXACT
SAME SEQUENCE, TOO, FROM THEIR
00:25:45.24\00:25:47.24
PERSPECTIVE. AND SO,
IT'S TALKING ABOUT THESE
00:25:47.28\00:25:51.05
POWERS THAT HAD OCCUPIED GOD'S
PEOPLE AND PERSECUTED GOD'S
00:25:51.08\00:25:54.75
PEOPLE IN THE JEWISH HISTORY.
AND THEN THERE'S A NEW POWER
00:25:54.78\00:25:58.19
THAT WAS HAPPENING IN
REVELATION RIGHT DURING THE TIME
00:25:58.22\00:26:01.32
WHEN JOHN WROTE
IT. ROME WAS IN POWER.
00:26:01.36\00:26:04.19
JOHN WAS A PRISONER ON THE ISLE
OF PATMOS, BY THE KINGDOM OF
00:26:04.23\00:26:08.16
ROME, FOR HIS FAITH. AND
IT SAYS - IN THIS BEAST, IT
00:26:08.20\00:26:13.37
SAYS, "HIS MOUTH LIKE THE MOUTH
OF A LION. THE DRAGON GAVE HIM
00:26:13.40\00:26:17.01
HIS POWER, HIS
THRONE, AND GREAT AUTHORITY."
00:26:17.04\00:26:21.24
NOW, WE ALL KNOW THAT THE
DRAGON, OF COURSE, BEHIND THE
00:26:21.28\00:26:24.28
DRAGON YOU'VE GOT THE DEVIL -
CALLS HIM THE OLD SERPENT, THE
00:26:24.31\00:26:26.82
DRAGON - BUT THE DRAGON WAS
OPERATING THROUGH THE POWER OF
00:26:26.85\00:26:30.02
ROME. WHEN IT SAYS
THE DRAGON TRIED TO
00:26:30.05\00:26:32.89
DEVOUR THE MAN CHILD
AS SOON AS IT WAS BORN.
00:26:32.92\00:26:36.19
WELL, THE ROMAN POWER - THE
DEVIL USED THE ROMAN POWER TO
00:26:36.22\00:26:38.99
DESTROY JESUS - OR TRY TO
DESTROY HIM - WHEN HE WAS A
00:26:39.03\00:26:41.50
BABY. SO, THE DEVIL WAS WORKING
00:26:41.53\00:26:44.17
THROUGH ROME WHEN
CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED.
00:26:44.20\00:26:47.00
THE DEVIL WAS USING THAT KINGDOM
TO PERSECUTE CHRISTIANITY,
00:26:47.04\00:26:50.34
BUT IT WAS THE
KINGDOM OF PAGAN ROME.
00:26:50.37\00:26:53.94
BUT PAGAN ROME THEN GOES
THROUGH A CHANGE WHEN IT FALLS.
00:26:53.98\00:26:58.58
