The harvest truly is plenteous,
00:00:01.98\00:00:02.95
but the laborers are few.
00:00:02.96\00:00:03.93
Pray ye therefore
the Lord of the harvest,
00:00:03.95\00:00:06.35
that He will send
forth laborers into His
00:00:06.36\00:00:09.86
harvest. Also I
heard the voice of the
00:00:09.87\00:00:12.23
Lord saying whom shall I send?
00:00:12.24\00:00:14.61
And who will go
for us? Then said I,
00:00:15.26\00:00:19.17
Here am I, send me, send me.
00:00:19.53\00:00:22.78
Life On The Edge

00:00:23.62\00:00:25.58

00:00:25.59\00:00:27.32
We now invite you into our
00:00:27.87\00:00:29.44
classroom to
come experience life.
00:00:29.45\00:00:33.85
Welcome back to
Life On The Edge,
00:00:43.35\00:00:44.79
it's a interactive
Bible study course right
00:00:45.24\00:00:46.94
here that we are
having in beautiful Groveland,
00:00:46.95\00:00:49.21
Florida. Now
everyday here in Groveland,
00:00:49.22\00:00:51.26
Florida, we have,
everybody thinks of
00:00:51.27\00:00:53.24
Florida, what do you
think of when you think
00:00:53.25\00:00:54.28
of Florida?
Sunshine, but down here what
00:00:54.29\00:00:56.74
do we have everyday?
Liquid sunshine that's
00:00:56.75\00:00:59.17
right rains, it rains
almost every afternoon,
00:00:59.18\00:01:01.14
but it's okay
because we're here with the
00:01:01.15\00:01:02.81
spirit of God being
rain down on our hearts
00:01:02.82\00:01:04.53
as we are learning
how to study the Bible
00:01:04.54\00:01:06.01
together or learning
how to give Bible studies
00:01:06.02\00:01:08.02
to other people and
learning how to win souls
00:01:08.03\00:01:10.23
for the kingdom of God, amen.
00:01:10.24\00:01:11.42
The Bible says it's
through the foolishness of
00:01:11.74\00:01:13.42
preaching, in other
words its through the
00:01:13.43\00:01:14.95
simplicity of just
giving the word of God to
00:01:14.96\00:01:16.90
people that, that
the people become safe,
00:01:16.91\00:01:18.54
the people that comes
to know Lord Jesus and
00:01:18.55\00:01:20.15
become safe. And so
we are learning here
00:01:20.16\00:01:22.25
through our Bible
study course here is how to
00:01:22.49\00:01:24.49
share the word of
God with other people,
00:01:24.50\00:01:26.05
so they too can be
ready for the coming of
00:01:26.06\00:01:27.98
Jesus and be saved.
Now you all remember as we,
00:01:27.99\00:01:31.12
as we've been going
through study after study
00:01:31.31\00:01:33.01
here at Life and the
name of the study of course
00:01:33.02\00:01:36.23
here is Life on the
Edge. As we will be going
00:01:36.24\00:01:37.93
through course after
course learning we learned
00:01:37.94\00:01:40.74
yesterday about the
Antichrist part one.
00:01:40.75\00:01:43.21
It was the first part
of the Antichrist study,
00:01:43.45\00:01:45.69
and as we study
that we are going through
00:01:46.11\00:01:48.28
that we learned
that as opposed to what
00:01:48.29\00:01:50.56
popular Christianity
often times teach us
00:01:50.76\00:01:52.57
today, most people
when they think of the
00:01:52.58\00:01:54.18
Antichrist they think
of this violent oppose to
00:01:54.19\00:01:56.23
Jesus Christ and
everybody going to be
00:01:56.24\00:01:57.93
obviously saying, Oh
yeah, that's definitely
00:01:57.94\00:02:00.14
not Jesus, that's the
Antichrist don't follow him
00:02:00.15\00:02:02.91
everybody kind of has
a mindset that it's not
00:02:02.92\00:02:04.62
a deception. But
Jesus Himself said remember
00:02:04.63\00:02:07.02
Mathew 24 Jesus
speaking in Matthew 24 in
00:02:07.03\00:02:09.44
verse 24, He says
Himself, If it was possible
00:02:09.45\00:02:12.98
in the last days even
the very elect will be
00:02:13.45\00:02:15.56
deceived, and you
think the very elect that's
00:02:15.57\00:02:17.57
the people looks
like studying their Bibles
00:02:17.58\00:02:19.01
standing up giving
Bible lectures and that
00:02:19.02\00:02:20.65
kind of think right.
He says even those people
00:02:20.66\00:02:22.88
will almost be
deceived, it's gonna be very
00:02:23.16\00:02:25.65
deceptive and you
think about the most,
00:02:25.66\00:02:27.86
most of today
what's put out there today
00:02:27.87\00:02:30.22
about the Antichrist
and the last days and things
00:02:30.25\00:02:32.50
like that, nothing is
really very deceptive,
00:02:32.51\00:02:34.11
in it. Remember we
learned that yesterday,
00:02:34.12\00:02:36.51
then we found out
as we went through,
00:02:36.94\00:02:38.26
as we study through
this, this Antichrist part one
00:02:38.72\00:02:41.78
yesterday we ask
the question we had the
00:02:41.79\00:02:44.20
question come up,
what is it? What is it that
00:02:44.21\00:02:47.71
we need to learn
about this Antichrist?
00:02:47.72\00:02:50.18
You know everybody
thinks its obviously openly
00:02:50.51\00:02:52.50
rebelling against
Christ, when actually what is
00:02:52.85\00:02:54.79
it? It's something
different, it's something
00:02:54.80\00:02:55.97
else we are looking
for and what is that we
00:02:55.98\00:02:57.31
learned yesterday as we
studied Antichrist in part
00:02:57.32\00:02:59.53
one, yes Tim. We have
learned that for every
00:02:59.54\00:03:03.29
thing that God has
created the devil has been
00:03:03.30\00:03:05.15
a counterfeit, and
so we have to be really
00:03:05.16\00:03:07.40
careful that they were
being really vigilant and
00:03:07.41\00:03:10.53
not following after
something that is false.
00:03:10.54\00:03:12.10
That's exactly
right, we have to pay close
00:03:12.11\00:03:14.26
attention and make
sure that we understand
00:03:14.27\00:03:17.18
the truth of
God's word because the,
00:03:17.19\00:03:19.43
because the counterfeit
is going to be so close
00:03:19.44\00:03:21.21
to the original that
there's going to be even,
00:03:21.22\00:03:23.23
if it possible very
elect to be deceived and this
00:03:23.24\00:03:25.23
Antichrist power is
not going to be the violent
00:03:25.24\00:03:26.87
opposer, but its going
to be a certain imposter.
00:03:26.88\00:03:29.21
It's going to be very
close to the original to
00:03:29.62\00:03:31.07
the real thing and
some people will say,
00:03:31.08\00:03:33.33
Tim or everybody
here I guess, some people
00:03:34.05\00:03:35.68
say thinks like I had
this happen so many times,
00:03:35.69\00:03:37.86
when I get ready to
preach a sermon or to
00:03:38.18\00:03:40.06
give a study on the
Antichrist I've heard
00:03:40.07\00:03:41.81
people say you
know what I love Jesus,
00:03:41.82\00:03:43.79
and it really doesn't
matter if I understand who
00:03:44.53\00:03:46.22
the Antichrist is or
any of these things because
00:03:46.23\00:03:48.19
I love Jesus, right,
you've heard those kind
00:03:48.53\00:03:50.24
of thoughts maybe
you had them yourselves,
00:03:50.25\00:03:51.76
but I got a couple of
things, a couple of issues
00:03:52.20\00:03:53.99
with that you might
say, why does God reveal
00:03:54.00\00:03:56.13
to us in the word of
God, the Antichrist if he
00:03:56.14\00:03:57.82
doesn't want us to
know it. And there are some
00:03:57.83\00:03:59.96
examples in the
Bible what God has done and
00:03:59.97\00:04:02.47
to show us that
He does wants to know
00:04:02.48\00:04:04.16
these things for
instance, you think of His
00:04:04.17\00:04:07.27
disciples, the
Apostles the twelve you know
00:04:07.28\00:04:08.89
that His twelve
disciples are following Him
00:04:08.90\00:04:10.73
around that they
love Him? They absolutely
00:04:10.74\00:04:13.22
love Jesus, without
a doubt they loved Him.
00:04:13.23\00:04:15.27
So why is it
Jesus in Mark chapter 8,
00:04:15.56\00:04:17.53
Mark chapter 9, Mark
chapter10 and then Mark
00:04:17.54\00:04:19.25
chapter14, why does
He go through all those
00:04:19.26\00:04:21.25
places and tell them
exactly what was going
00:04:21.26\00:04:22.94
to happen to Him?
He said you know what,
00:04:22.95\00:04:24.62
I'm gonna be betrayed
to the gentiles or the
00:04:24.80\00:04:27.81
actually the chief
priest describes, and they
00:04:27.82\00:04:29.21
are gonna hand me
over to the gentiles,
00:04:29.22\00:04:30.65
and the gentiles
are going to take me,
00:04:31.41\00:04:32.38
they gonna beat me
up, they gonna spit on me,
00:04:32.39\00:04:33.77
they gonna crucify
me, but the third day I'll
00:04:34.36\00:04:35.71
arise again. Why does
He tell them those things
00:04:35.72\00:04:37.77
about all these bad
things that are gonna happen
00:04:37.78\00:04:39.12
to Him if they loved
Him? They didn't really
00:04:39.13\00:04:41.18
need to know that,
didn't they? I mean couldn't
00:04:41.19\00:04:43.35
they be saved
without knowing those things,
00:04:43.36\00:04:45.01
that's the argument
that the lot people have it
00:04:46.17\00:04:47.68
doesn't matter, all can
be saved without knowing
00:04:47.69\00:04:49.33
these things, but the
reason Jesus was revealing
00:04:49.34\00:04:51.57
to them, what was
gonna happen to Him and
00:04:51.58\00:04:53.99
because He did
not wanted to become
00:04:54.00\00:04:55.09
discouraged. Can you
imagine the difference,
00:04:55.10\00:04:57.09
how different the
Bible would be written,
00:04:57.10\00:04:58.61
the history or the
scriptures be written,
00:04:59.14\00:05:01.08
if it said something
like this. The disciples after
00:05:01.47\00:05:03.53
they heard Jesus
tell Him exactly what was
00:05:03.54\00:05:05.26
gonna happen to Him,
right. Then they listen
00:05:05.27\00:05:07.78
what He said and
whenever they took Him
00:05:07.79\00:05:09.97
and He is betrayed
and he was beaten up and
00:05:10.55\00:05:12.22
He spit on, He is
crucified, instead of
00:05:12.23\00:05:14.01
Peter denying Him as
Lord said praise the Lord it's
00:05:14.02\00:05:16.66
exactly what He
said was going to happen,
00:05:16.67\00:05:18.20
can you imagine if
that would have been the
00:05:18.30\00:05:19.72
story in the Bible
and after He been in the
00:05:19.73\00:05:22.17
grave for three days,
the disciples were all
00:05:22.18\00:05:23.98
gathered around the
tomb and there was the
00:05:23.99\00:05:25.33
Mary the first
one come to the tomb,
00:05:25.54\00:05:26.73
it was the disciples
because they believed
00:05:26.74\00:05:28.52
exactly what Jesus
had told them, they would
00:05:28.53\00:05:30.49
not have become discouraged and
00:05:30.50\00:05:32.04
disheartened, are
you following that?
00:05:32.05\00:05:34.50
So Jesus tells them
these things because He
00:05:34.98\00:05:36.65
doesn't want them to
become discouraged and
00:05:36.66\00:05:37.91
disheartened, and
the reason He gives us
00:05:37.92\00:05:39.70
that the identity of
the Antichrist and He gives
00:05:39.71\00:05:41.95
these things even
now is because He doesn't
00:05:41.96\00:05:43.96
want you and me to
become discouraged or
00:05:43.97\00:05:46.76
disheartened. When
you see these things
00:05:46.77\00:05:48.72
taken place then you
know, oh this is exactly
00:05:48.87\00:05:52.01
what God said would
happen, praise the Lord
00:05:52.02\00:05:53.72
we are close to
His coming, amen.
00:05:53.73\00:05:55.27
And so He identifies
the Antichrist from the
00:05:55.45\00:05:57.51
scriptures the reason
that God gives us this
00:05:57.52\00:05:59.45
is so that you
and I will not become
00:05:59.71\00:06:01.82
discouraged or
disheartened, so can you
00:06:01.83\00:06:03.27
imagine the love of
God, God could have said
00:06:03.28\00:06:05.98
you know what He
could have took about a
00:06:05.99\00:06:07.21
bunch of stuff here
and just take this Bible
00:06:07.22\00:06:09.00
and just throw this
part of inside, you know
00:06:09.01\00:06:10.56
what they don't
really need to be saved,
00:06:10.57\00:06:12.44
but He putted in
there, so that you and I
00:06:13.54\00:06:14.93
can be encouraged,
this things in the Bible is
00:06:14.94\00:06:17.55
put there just so
you and I can, can hang
00:06:17.56\00:06:19.12
on and say you know
what, this is what God
00:06:19.13\00:06:20.61
said, I can trust
him, I can believe Him.
00:06:20.62\00:06:22.37
And it's the same
with the identity of the
00:06:23.17\00:06:24.99
Antichrist and these
things even though its
00:06:25.00\00:06:26.81
when we show this
identity that some of the
00:06:27.53\00:06:29.09
scriptures, it's
kind of difficult for some
00:06:29.10\00:06:31.46
people and they
say you know it sounds
00:06:31.47\00:06:32.99
hard and these
kind of things, but God
00:06:33.12\00:06:35.06
reveals it, so
your and I can be ready,
00:06:35.07\00:06:37.37
so that's the
purpose and now we are
00:06:38.14\00:06:39.66
getting into the
purpose of the study,
00:06:39.67\00:06:40.88
we will have that
up on the slide here,
00:06:40.89\00:06:42.07
what is the purpose of
the study the Antichrist
00:06:42.27\00:06:44.04
part two, and you
see down the screen here
00:06:44.05\00:06:46.05
is to identify the
Antichrist. The simple
00:06:46.06\00:06:48.55
reason is to, so we
can identify who this
00:06:48.56\00:06:50.75
scoundrel is,
scoundrel word everywhere,
00:06:50.76\00:06:53.48
yeah I guess it is,
scoundrel, right that
00:06:54.51\00:06:56.33
maybe it just like tacky
thing, but then we're gonna
00:06:56.34\00:06:59.85
identify who this
guy is and the reason God
00:06:59.86\00:07:01.95
gives it from the
scriptures, the reason we
00:07:02.07\00:07:03.61
have this
identity of the Antichrist,
00:07:03.62\00:07:05.31
is that so you and I
will know, that's the
00:07:06.08\00:07:08.20
purpose, the
purpose of the study.
00:07:08.21\00:07:09.62
And then we have
another slide here we put
00:07:10.16\00:07:11.25
up the center it, like
we do it with every study,
00:07:11.26\00:07:12.71
what's the center of
it? Simply God wants us
00:07:12.72\00:07:14.70
to know. God wants
us to know that's the
00:07:14.71\00:07:17.17
center of the
study, God wants you and I
00:07:17.18\00:07:19.97
not to become
discouraged, not to
00:07:20.38\00:07:22.22
become deceived,
and not to become,
00:07:22.23\00:07:23.99
oh man, you have
something happened,
00:07:24.21\00:07:27.02
it was a total
surprise in your life and it's
00:07:27.03\00:07:29.04
like took the, took the
like rug up on your feet,
00:07:29.05\00:07:31.45
you fell on your face,
did that happen in your
00:07:31.46\00:07:32.82
life, it just wasn't,
totally was not expecting
00:07:32.83\00:07:34.83
it, how harsh that
was you know and it
00:07:34.84\00:07:37.27
doesn't help soften
the blow if you kind of
00:07:37.28\00:07:38.88
have it like ahead of
time you're expecting it,
00:07:38.89\00:07:40.68
I'll give you a
good example of this,
00:07:40.98\00:07:42.12
this may help lead
into the study a little more
00:07:42.13\00:07:43.86
here too. Many
people when they start
00:07:43.87\00:07:46.80
getting a lot older,
they start expecting and
00:07:46.81\00:07:49.80
they start making
arrangements for their
00:07:49.81\00:07:51.64
parents to be
dying off, don't they?
00:07:51.65\00:07:53.23
You know they start
preparing themselves,
00:07:53.82\00:07:55.09
you know mom and
dad getting up there in
00:07:55.10\00:07:56.38
age, they are in
eighties and nineties and
00:07:56.39\00:07:58.47
they start mentally,
they start preparing for
00:07:58.48\00:07:59.92
their death,
mentally you know people do
00:07:59.93\00:08:02.21
that way right, it's
hard when any body dies,
00:08:02.22\00:08:04.36
amen. I mean it's
hard to loose any body,
00:08:04.37\00:08:06.22
isn't it? But when
they lived to a rippled age
00:08:06.23\00:08:09.01
and right with the Lord
and this kind of things,
00:08:09.02\00:08:10.77
and then came along
some day and some one
00:08:10.92\00:08:12.05
says hey you know
get the phone call saying
00:08:12.06\00:08:14.15
your mom died, last
night oh man that's so
00:08:14.66\00:08:17.66
bad, but he was
expecting it, because she
00:08:17.67\00:08:20.32
was getting up in
years and their health was
00:08:20.33\00:08:21.76
felling in and it was
almost easier to see that
00:08:21.77\00:08:24.09
they were being laid
to sleep and they have
00:08:24.10\00:08:25.66
to linger on right, so
let me tell you something,
00:08:25.67\00:08:27.56
when I was only
twenty, twenty about
00:08:29.60\00:08:35.17
twenty four I guess,
it was in 2000 or it was
00:08:35.18\00:08:38.47
in the year 1999
whatever old I was then
00:08:38.48\00:08:40.95
its hard to keep up
with time when you get
00:08:42.02\00:08:43.00
old like me, I got a
phone call one day when
00:08:43.01\00:08:46.27
I got home, I was at
home by seven I get a
00:08:46.28\00:08:47.40
phone call it's my
mom, Philip, your dad died
00:08:47.41\00:08:50.82
today
51-years-old, man my ears start
00:08:50.83\00:08:55.56
ringing, the rugs
jagged up on my feet
00:08:55.57\00:08:57.49
and you know why?
The main reason was,
00:08:57.98\00:09:00.58
I did not expect it,
it was farthest thing from
00:09:00.82\00:09:03.13
my mind, you know,
I was like, I been,
00:09:03.14\00:09:05.17
I been like, this
just weekend before,
00:09:05.18\00:09:06.86
I have seen my dad
and we have being doing
00:09:06.87\00:09:08.58
things and we go
flying together, we go fishing
00:09:08.59\00:09:10.46
together, these
kind of things going on.
00:09:10.47\00:09:11.79
When you get a
phone call that you don't
00:09:12.01\00:09:12.98
expect this, oh, it
was just heart attack
00:09:12.99\00:09:15.66
wasn't it, and
so in the same way,
00:09:15.67\00:09:17.83
in the similar way
when we look at the study
00:09:17.84\00:09:19.25
on Antichrist, when
all of a sudden if you
00:09:19.26\00:09:22.51
don't understand
what the Bible is teaching
00:09:22.52\00:09:23.85
on any subject, and
then you are not here
00:09:23.86\00:09:26.17
with the face of the
truth, but if you are hit
00:09:26.18\00:09:27.53
with it in reality,
life is like been played out
00:09:27.54\00:09:30.01
and your soul
taken back in surprise,
00:09:30.02\00:09:31.49
it's harder to expect, isn't it?
00:09:31.68\00:09:32.94
The love of God is
revealed here in revealing
00:09:33.71\00:09:35.61
the Antichrist, not
only does one has to be
00:09:35.62\00:09:38.44
deceived, but he
doesn't want you to be hurt
00:09:38.63\00:09:41.61
and perplexed and
maybe give up in despair,
00:09:42.47\00:09:46.07
because things are
happening you didn't
00:09:46.80\00:09:47.94
expect, are you following that?
00:09:47.95\00:09:50.24
Was that analogy
okay? You know the story
00:09:50.51\00:09:52.78
parallel pretty
good, does it make sense in
00:09:52.79\00:09:54.08
your mind? Alright,
well let us go on as
00:09:54.09\00:09:56.14
we are going to
open up the study here,
00:09:56.15\00:09:57.45
but before we do,
we're gonna have a word
00:09:57.46\00:09:59.76
of pray, you know,
the Bible says spiritual
00:09:59.77\00:10:01.34
things are
spiritually discerned,
00:10:01.35\00:10:03.37
and so for us to understand,
00:10:03.65\00:10:05.18
what God is telling
us here to the study it's
00:10:05.73\00:10:08.00
very important,
that our minds are clear,
00:10:08.01\00:10:10.22
our hearts are
right with God, so let us
00:10:10.23\00:10:11.59
spend some time
now, and pray and
00:10:11.60\00:10:13.24
asking God to
guide us to the study.
00:10:13.25\00:10:14.80
Father in heaven,
you have given us another
00:10:16.94\00:10:19.88
day of life, here at
Life, and I want to thank
00:10:19.89\00:10:22.80
you for it. I want to
thank you for this time,
00:10:22.81\00:10:25.18
we get to spend each
day in studying your word.
00:10:25.19\00:10:27.18
And Lord today as we
study the first part of
00:10:28.31\00:10:30.52
this Antichrist
studying part two,
00:10:30.53\00:10:32.99
the first part of
part two Lord as we study
00:10:35.20\00:10:36.77
this, I pray that you
will give us understanding,
00:10:36.78\00:10:39.42
you'll give each
one of us clear minds,
00:10:39.43\00:10:40.73
you help us to
be awake and alert,
00:10:40.74\00:10:42.28
and I pray for
those who are listening,
00:10:43.33\00:10:45.06
watching or
listening either on internet,
00:10:45.27\00:10:46.97
on television, on
DVD, that even right now
00:10:46.98\00:10:50.14
you'll be
touching their hearts Lord.
00:10:50.15\00:10:51.55
You come especially
close to them with your
00:10:52.05\00:10:53.34
spirit and then our
minds will be opened to
00:10:53.35\00:10:55.77
what the spirit is teaching us,
00:10:55.78\00:10:57.18
we ask this in Jesus name, amen.
00:10:57.95\00:11:00.12
Okay the
Antichrist part two, part one,
00:11:00.94\00:11:03.90
we are gonna split
part two up in two parts,
00:11:04.90\00:11:06.27
you understand that
right? And we're gonna
00:11:06.28\00:11:08.29
get right into it, first
of all we're gonna look at
00:11:08.30\00:11:09.97
all the texts that
are listed in the study,
00:11:09.98\00:11:12.43
We are going to
put them on the screen,
00:11:12.44\00:11:13.61
so you can write
them down, there's
00:11:14.22\00:11:15.32
thirteen of them,
actually there is a few
00:11:15.33\00:11:17.05
more than that, if
you notice here that you
00:11:17.06\00:11:18.84
see I got written
out them in parenthesis
00:11:18.85\00:11:20.27
here Mark chapter
2, seven John 10 and
00:11:20.28\00:11:22.27
there's a couple of
other places, where we
00:11:22.86\00:11:23.83
will have a couple of
extra texts put in there,
00:11:23.84\00:11:26.27
and actually for
those here and maybe for
00:11:27.03\00:11:29.94
people at home, some
of the text I gave out
00:11:29.95\00:11:32.75
might not be in
the notes that you can
00:11:32.76\00:11:34.05
download on the
internet or you actually have
00:11:34.06\00:11:36.23
right now, so you
may have to get that
00:11:36.24\00:11:37.48
pencil out, I know
it's very difficult with me,
00:11:37.49\00:11:39.58
I will do it with my
left hand and you may have
00:11:39.59\00:11:41.44
to take if you want
to get all the text.
00:11:41.45\00:11:42.81
You may have to
take actually write them
00:11:42.82\00:11:43.93
down yourself. Now
for the people at home
00:11:43.94\00:11:46.21
I don't know by the
time this actually gets
00:11:46.22\00:11:48.24
out there and we
put the studies on the
00:11:48.25\00:11:49.91
Internet and we may
have those extra text
00:11:49.92\00:11:51.10
on it, but in case we
don't have your pencil
00:11:51.11\00:11:53.10
ready, We've got all
these people with here
00:11:53.11\00:11:54.72
with pens and
pencils in their hands,
00:11:54.73\00:11:55.89
and computers in
front of them and nobody
00:11:55.90\00:11:58.48
has to take notes,
because we've given
00:11:58.49\00:11:59.58
everything or
spoon fed aren't we?
00:11:59.59\00:12:01.49
So you may have to
take some notes today,
00:12:02.14\00:12:03.84
but any way Antichrist
part two, part one and
00:12:03.85\00:12:06.56
the text we are
going to is going to be
00:12:06.57\00:12:08.05
diveded up
actually in different parts,
00:12:08.06\00:12:09.61
if you look on the
screen, it's divided up,
00:12:09.62\00:12:11.49
the first four texts
that we look at are going
00:12:11.73\00:12:14.07
to be the names
of the Antichrist.
00:12:14.08\00:12:15.64
It's very
interesting people you hear like
00:12:15.89\00:12:17.62
movies are being
made about the Antichrist
00:12:17.63\00:12:19.22
and all these
people talking about the
00:12:19.23\00:12:20.20
Antichrist and the
name that actually term
00:12:20.21\00:12:22.50
Antichrist is
barely almost never used
00:12:22.51\00:12:24.90
in the Bible, it's only
in there like, it's in there
00:12:24.91\00:12:26.73
four times in all the
Bible, four times in the
00:12:26.74\00:12:29.47
singular form one
time in the plural form,
00:12:29.48\00:12:31.66
so you have five
times the term Antichrist or
00:12:31.75\00:12:33.71
Antichrists are in the
Bible, and they are all
00:12:34.08\00:12:36.40
found in the little
books of 1st and 2nd John,
00:12:36.41\00:12:38.73
you don't find it any
where else in the Bible
00:12:39.48\00:12:40.93
that's actually
termed Antichrist but He has
00:12:40.94\00:12:42.43
different names,
different names that he
00:12:42.44\00:12:44.85
is called by in the
Bible referring to the same
00:12:44.86\00:12:47.36
character, we're
gonna be looking at those
00:12:47.37\00:12:48.68
as well. And then after
getting looking at that,
00:12:48.69\00:12:50.68
we're gonna
particularly focus in on
00:12:51.48\00:12:53.72
events in this
earth's history leading up to
00:12:55.11\00:12:57.35
the Antichrist
getting here, like you know
00:12:57.36\00:12:59.53
He doesn't, He has
not always been on this
00:12:59.54\00:13:01.22
earth, you know, you
are following what I'm
00:13:01.23\00:13:02.20
saying that, that the
power of the Antichrist,
00:13:02.21\00:13:03.89
power of the, I
can't use all the names,
00:13:03.90\00:13:06.76
or there is
little horn in Daniel 8,
00:13:06.77\00:13:08.28
Daniels 7 we are
going to be looking at that
00:13:08.29\00:13:09.83
as we go
through the study today,
00:13:10.17\00:13:11.25
but these terms that
we use all the events
00:13:11.52\00:13:14.11
through this earth's
history leading up to the
00:13:14.12\00:13:16.75
Antichrist coming
on the scene, are you
00:13:16.76\00:13:18.77
following what we
are talking about?
00:13:18.78\00:13:19.75
So the second part
here starting in Daniel
00:13:19.76\00:13:21.09
chapter 7, 1 to 3
and all the way down to
00:13:21.10\00:13:23.40
the Daniel 7:7 is the
list through history of
00:13:23.41\00:13:26.88
the Antichrist, the
things that have happened
00:13:26.89\00:13:29.23
prior to the
Antichrist coming to power,
00:13:29.24\00:13:30.87
and we will be
looking at that, and we kind
00:13:31.46\00:13:32.71
of finish off there,
well we won't finfish off
00:13:32.72\00:13:35.07
there today,
because what we're gonna get
00:13:35.08\00:13:36.10
into after that is the
identity of the Antichrist.
00:13:36.11\00:13:39.46
We are not actually
going to identify Him.
00:13:39.79\00:13:41.76
I say what, you
know, what we are going to
00:13:43.20\00:13:44.42
do is give the
characteristics that what
00:13:44.43\00:13:46.47
the God has to identify
the Antichrist with that's
00:13:46.48\00:13:49.31
gonna be in the last
part of the identity of the
00:13:49.32\00:13:51.33
Antichrist. Then
we're gonna, we're gonna,
00:13:51.34\00:13:53.10
actually go through
there and give all that
00:13:53.11\00:13:54.51
ten identifying
characteristics you find
00:13:54.52\00:13:56.40
in Daniel chapter 7
that identifies this, this
00:13:56.41\00:13:59.02
character right. And
then we're gonna say,
00:13:59.03\00:14:01.33
who in the world,
what power, what force on
00:14:02.08\00:14:05.17
this earth, this
planet, the Antichrist has to
00:14:05.18\00:14:06.76
be on this planet
right? What power through
00:14:06.77\00:14:10.58
history identifies
with this if it's all ten of
00:14:10.59\00:14:14.10
the characteristics,
so that's how we go to
00:14:14.11\00:14:15.83
the study, does it
make sense? It has like
00:14:15.84\00:14:17.72
three parts you
know the names of the
00:14:17.95\00:14:19.67
Antichrist, prior
to Antichrist, and then
00:14:19.68\00:14:21.70
identifying the
Antichrist, so after we
00:14:21.71\00:14:23.54
give this list of all
the ten characteristics,
00:14:23.55\00:14:25.49
tomorrow or on the
next study we do we're
00:14:26.05\00:14:29.86
gonna actually plug
these ten characteristics
00:14:29.87\00:14:31.53
in and see if it fits
the Antichrist who revealed
00:14:31.54\00:14:37.10
this, so the suspense
is killing you isn't it?
00:14:37.11\00:14:39.47
Yeah, me too.
Alright now let's go on now
00:14:40.93\00:14:42.93
to start the study
off, we are gonna go to
00:14:43.33\00:14:45.10
1 John chapter
2, 1 John chapter 2,
00:14:45.35\00:14:47.99
verse 18-22 and
we're gonna look at first
00:14:48.00\00:14:50.43
name of the
Antichrist and you know what
00:14:50.44\00:14:51.80
name is?
Antichrist, Anita has that one,
00:14:51.81\00:14:56.86
so go out of head,
1 John chapter 2 and
00:14:57.46\00:15:00.06
you gonna read
verse 18-22 and give just
00:15:00.07\00:15:02.29
a moment everybody to get there,
00:15:02.30\00:15:03.48
even me, 1 John
chapter 2, it's the book if
00:15:03.49\00:15:09.05
you go to
Revelation, you know, you back
00:15:09.06\00:15:10.29
up and you got, you
got Jude and 3 John,
00:15:10.30\00:15:12.42
2 John and 1 John, so
if you are at home and
00:15:12.43\00:15:14.89
can't find a way
around in the Bible too,
00:15:14.90\00:15:16.20
well you can start
Revelation and just back
00:15:16.21\00:15:17.74
up from there,
everybody can find
00:15:17.75\00:15:19.34
Revelation, it's the
last book of the Bible,
00:15:19.35\00:15:20.90
and so we are going to John,
00:15:21.26\00:15:22.40
1 John rather, 1
John chapter 1:18-22 and
00:15:22.61\00:15:25.74
Anita is going
to read that for us.
00:15:25.75\00:15:26.97
Little children, it's
the last time and as if
00:15:28.04\00:15:31.51
you have heard that
any Christ shall come
00:15:31.52\00:15:33.30
even now are
there many any Christs
00:15:33.45\00:15:36.29
whereby we know
that it is the last time,
00:15:36.83\00:15:39.25
they went out from
us but they were not
00:15:40.11\00:15:42.90
of us, for if they had
been of us, they have no
00:15:43.04\00:15:45.78
doubt have continued
with us, but they went
00:15:45.79\00:15:48.79
out, that they might
be made manifest that
00:15:48.83\00:15:51.59
they were not all
of us, but He have an
00:15:51.60\00:15:54.39
unction from the
holy one and He know all
00:15:54.40\00:15:57.12
things, I have not
written unto you because
00:15:57.13\00:16:00.11
He know not the
truth, but because He know
00:16:00.12\00:16:03.26
it and that no
lie is of the truth.
00:16:03.27\00:16:05.90
Who is the liar that
He did deny it that Jesus
00:16:06.56\00:16:09.94
is the Christ. He
is an Antichrist that
00:16:10.01\00:16:13.56
deny it the Father and the son.
00:16:13.57\00:16:15.68
Very good Anita as
you, as you are reading
00:16:15.84\00:16:17.43
through, did you
notice, did you notice how
00:16:17.44\00:16:18.68
she was looking up,
actually she was looking
00:16:18.69\00:16:20.49
around to the people
at home as well letting
00:16:20.50\00:16:21.81
them know that they
were the part of the
00:16:21.82\00:16:23.45
study that we are
having here right?
00:16:23.46\00:16:24.67
But they are
looking up and keeping eye
00:16:25.02\00:16:26.56
contact with the
people, it keeps people engaged
00:16:26.57\00:16:28.12
right? Like
everybody here in the class,
00:16:28.13\00:16:30.71
if they decided
they want to go to sleep,
00:16:31.05\00:16:32.37
I'll be looking at
you and you know that I'm
00:16:32.63\00:16:34.44
going to be
looking at you, you know,
00:16:34.45\00:16:35.42
you can't get
away from this class,
00:16:35.43\00:16:36.40
right you sleep, I'm
going to, I'm going to make
00:16:36.41\00:16:37.60
an eye contact with
you, and I might even,
00:16:37.61\00:16:39.74
I might even call
you up and put on TV,
00:16:39.75\00:16:41.24
so you want to be
careful not to sleep in
00:16:42.28\00:16:43.50
class right? Anita
as she was reading that
00:16:43.51\00:16:45.53
though the Antichrist,
it says, this where you
00:16:45.54\00:16:47.49
find in the scriptures
this is the first like
00:16:47.50\00:16:49.16
three times you find
the term Antichrist right?
00:16:49.17\00:16:51.08
And it says little
children for the last time
00:16:51.26\00:16:53.18
as you have heard
that Antichrist shall come.
00:16:53.19\00:16:55.08
In other word, what
he is doing right now,
00:16:55.09\00:16:56.95
John writing here, it
says, as you heard the
00:16:57.94\00:16:59.57
Antichrist shall
come, in other word he is
00:16:59.58\00:17:01.23
still putting off in a
future day, but he says
00:17:01.24\00:17:03.28
you know what it
says, even now like the
00:17:03.29\00:17:05.62
spirit of the
Antichrist is working, look what
00:17:05.63\00:17:08.01
he says even now
there are many Antichrists
00:17:08.02\00:17:10.57
where by we know
it's the last time,
00:17:10.87\00:17:12.46
so it says, even
though the Antichrist is
00:17:12.47\00:17:13.97
going to come, you have heard,
00:17:13.98\00:17:15.56
he shall come, even
now that Spirit is working
00:17:15.78\00:17:18.36
and it's very
interesting, because when he
00:17:19.23\00:17:20.58
talks about these
Antichrist. Remember
00:17:20.59\00:17:22.89
most people when
they think of Antichrist,
00:17:22.90\00:17:24.24
they think of some
exterior thing violently
00:17:24.83\00:17:29.64
opposing God's church
and violently opposing
00:17:29.65\00:17:32.54
Jesus Christ and
putting themselves and
00:17:32.55\00:17:34.03
saying, you know,
I'm Jesus worship me
00:17:34.04\00:17:35.71
that's what we think
of isn't it? But look out
00:17:35.72\00:17:38.00
this description is,
he says even now there
00:17:38.01\00:17:39.92
are many
Antichrists whereby we know its
00:17:39.93\00:17:41.18
last time, and
then in verse 19 he says
00:17:41.19\00:17:42.84
something I think
its very fascinating.
00:17:42.85\00:17:44.42
They went out from
us, who went out from
00:17:45.48\00:17:47.40
them? The
Antichrist, so according to the
00:17:47.41\00:17:50.47
John when he is
writing in his days speaking
00:17:50.48\00:17:52.04
of the spirit of
Antichrist, you know in
00:17:52.05\00:17:54.33
generally he said
this Antichrist out there
00:17:54.34\00:17:56.02
right now, but there
is only one Antichrist,
00:17:56.03\00:17:57.96
do you understand
the difference there
00:17:57.97\00:17:58.94
right? But what
are these Antichrists,
00:17:58.95\00:18:01.07
these opposers to
Christ, where do they
00:18:01.56\00:18:02.80
come from?
Church. They came from the
00:18:02.81\00:18:04.65
church, he says
they came from us,
00:18:04.66\00:18:05.85
but you know what
he says, they weren't
00:18:05.86\00:18:07.29
really with us,
because have they have been,
00:18:07.30\00:18:09.73
they would have
stayed, that's what he
00:18:09.74\00:18:11.44
says, for if they
had been of us, they have
00:18:11.45\00:18:12.88
no doubt have continued with us,
00:18:12.89\00:18:14.46
but they went
out, that maybe, maybe
00:18:14.92\00:18:17.62
manifest but they
were not really or not all
00:18:17.63\00:18:19.67
of us, so you
follow what's going on here
00:18:19.68\00:18:21.58
with this, Paul,
John here is making a
00:18:21.59\00:18:23.18
description of the
Antichrist and he says,
00:18:23.19\00:18:25.42
it's very similar,
you know, you have heard
00:18:25.70\00:18:27.04
the Antichrist will
come, now how do they
00:18:27.05\00:18:28.19
hear the Antichrist would come?
00:18:28.20\00:18:29.20
How do they hear
that? Obliviously, John
00:18:29.21\00:18:31.40
speaking about
something, he has preached
00:18:31.41\00:18:32.58
to them, right? How
could they have heard
00:18:32.59\00:18:35.00
about him, when
somebody had preached
00:18:35.01\00:18:36.08
to that to them
right? He says he is gonna
00:18:36.09\00:18:37.68
come, but you know
what he said, it's a
00:18:37.69\00:18:39.02
kind of going on
now, because these people,
00:18:39.03\00:18:41.69
these people had when
they were there in the
00:18:42.15\00:18:43.29
church have now left the church,
00:18:43.30\00:18:45.66
they left us, they
weren't really of us.
00:18:46.72\00:18:48.68
Have you ever
noticed, most of the time when
00:18:49.32\00:18:53.12
someone
apostasies, when someone,
00:18:53.13\00:18:55.46
someone like leaves
the church, they don't
00:18:55.47\00:18:57.45
go alone, you know,
it's like people aren't
00:18:57.46\00:19:01.11
satisfied to be
lost all by themselves,
00:19:01.12\00:19:02.73
they got to take
all that came with them,
00:19:02.74\00:19:03.91
right? And I have
noticed that, and it's across
00:19:04.06\00:19:06.69
the board, you
know, you know it may talk
00:19:06.70\00:19:09.02
about the
nominations and it's across the
00:19:09.03\00:19:10.85
board, any
denominations like people
00:19:10.86\00:19:12.21
aren't just satisfy to
walk out and just be lost
00:19:12.22\00:19:15.64
by themselves, they
try to take you with
00:19:15.65\00:19:17.51
them and John is
warning the people in his
00:19:17.52\00:19:18.96
days and said you
know what? This is the
00:19:18.97\00:19:20.44
way the Antichrist
works. He does, he is
00:19:20.45\00:19:23.57
not going to come as
a violent opposer and
00:19:23.58\00:19:25.79
everybody is going
to say, oh yes stay away
00:19:25.80\00:19:27.09
from that guy, he
is a terror, you know
00:19:27.10\00:19:28.58
terrorism in Mathew
13 right, stay away from
00:19:29.06\00:19:31.08
him, he's obviously
a deceiver. No, these
00:19:31.09\00:19:33.45
guys came in the
church they were part
00:19:33.46\00:19:35.21
of them, but they
use that and then they
00:19:35.22\00:19:36.98
left and took
obviously people with them.
00:19:36.99\00:19:38.84
Now John,
basically speaking here this
00:19:39.84\00:19:42.19
Antichrist power, the
Antichrist were in his
00:19:42.20\00:19:43.89
day they came within
the church, when Paul,
00:19:43.90\00:19:47.15
and our next text we
are gonna be turning to,
00:19:47.16\00:19:48.60
when Paul talks
about the Antichrist in the
00:19:48.61\00:19:50.34
very last days he, he
refers to the Antichrist
00:19:50.35\00:19:52.45
under different term,
We're gonna looking at
00:19:52.90\00:19:54.91
that on our next
slide here, he refers to him
00:19:54.92\00:19:56.64
under different term
and you look here it's
00:19:56.65\00:19:58.52
in 2 Thessalonians
chapter 2 and verse 3,
00:19:58.53\00:20:00.59
and he refers to him
as the man of sin or the
00:20:00.85\00:20:02.61
son of perdition,
and so someone, who's
00:20:02.62\00:20:05.31
gonna read,
Darlene, Darlene you have 2
00:20:05.32\00:20:08.37
Thessalonians
chapter 2 and verse 3,
00:20:08.38\00:20:10.75
and go ahead and
read that one and, and as
00:20:10.76\00:20:13.12
you read it as you
read 2 Thessalonians 2-3,
00:20:13.13\00:20:15.39
emphasis those words,
it says men of sin and
00:20:15.64\00:20:17.78
son of perdition,
okay do that. Let no one
00:20:17.79\00:20:21.86
deceive you by any
means, for that day will
00:20:21.87\00:20:24.92
not come unless the
falling away come first,
00:20:24.93\00:20:28.27
and the man of sin
is revealed, the son of
00:20:29.04\00:20:32.87
perdition. So
Paul writing here now,
00:20:32.88\00:20:35.45
we looked first
that John talks about the
00:20:35.46\00:20:37.06
Antichrist in his
day, they came within the
00:20:37.07\00:20:38.92
church, Paul says
here, and look what he says,
00:20:38.93\00:20:40.67
now you have
covered this already,
00:20:40.68\00:20:41.85
I think in the, in the
part of this in the Great
00:20:41.86\00:20:43.77
Controversy study or
the, what was the other
00:20:43.78\00:20:47.28
study that the
pastor Scott did that,
00:20:47.29\00:20:49.33
where you covered
this whole thing about
00:20:49.52\00:20:50.77
the man of sin, the
son of perdition, does
00:20:50.98\00:20:52.32
anybody remember
what study that was?
00:20:52.33\00:20:53.55
The Great Controversy
study okay, I was right
00:20:55.05\00:20:56.45
with that then
alright, you notice here and
00:20:56.46\00:20:58.16
we are going to cover
that again alright now,
00:20:58.17\00:20:59.36
but I might put a
little different twist on it
00:20:59.37\00:21:00.86
but it says don't be
deceived by any means
00:21:00.99\00:21:03.34
about what, what's
he talking about hereby
00:21:03.35\00:21:04.76
being deceived by?
The second coming of
00:21:04.77\00:21:06.76
Christ, if you look
at the context just above
00:21:06.77\00:21:08.35
that he says, the
second coming of Christ as
00:21:08.36\00:21:10.67
he says don't be
deceived about that for
00:21:10.68\00:21:12.78
that day the second
coming of Christ will not
00:21:12.79\00:21:14.33
come except, there
comes a falling away
00:21:14.34\00:21:16.70
first. Now in order
for something to fall away,
00:21:16.71\00:21:19.06
it must first be
connected, right? You
00:21:19.07\00:21:21.75
can't fall away from
some one unless you are
00:21:21.76\00:21:22.89
connected, and
actual word there used in
00:21:22.90\00:21:25.69
the Greeks like
Apostasia. Now someone
00:21:25.70\00:21:27.72
is going to write
me a letter over that,
00:21:27.73\00:21:28.70
so that's how you say
that, that's I say that
00:21:28.71\00:21:30.46
word, but that's okay
just write me the letter,
00:21:30.47\00:21:31.75
and you get the idea,
it means, it means like
00:21:32.91\00:21:34.76
to be divorced from
or it means, it means
00:21:34.77\00:21:37.03
to be just taken
away, you know, you are
00:21:37.04\00:21:39.21
once connected, and
then you are divorced
00:21:39.22\00:21:40.84
or your are once the
member of the church,
00:21:40.85\00:21:42.09
you are no longer
the member of the church
00:21:42.10\00:21:43.20
and in Paul speaking
not just of a general like
00:21:43.45\00:21:45.66
one person leaving
the church. He said it's
00:21:45.67\00:21:47.57
going to be big
falling away. In other words
00:21:47.58\00:21:49.84
it's going to be a
big apostasy is gonna take
00:21:49.85\00:21:52.53
place, so before
Jesus comes, before the day
00:21:52.54\00:21:55.06
Lord comes this big
apostasy is going to
00:21:55.07\00:21:57.01
take place and
look what he says,
00:21:57.02\00:21:58.15
the son of man, or
that the man of the sin
00:21:58.78\00:22:01.20
rather be revealed
the son of perdition.
00:22:01.21\00:22:02.93
He says there is
going to be an apostasy and
00:22:02.94\00:22:05.20
as a result of that,
the son of perdition is
00:22:05.49\00:22:08.51
going to be
revealed, this man of sin who
00:22:08.52\00:22:11.04
we call the
Antichrist right? So it's
00:22:11.05\00:22:13.77
another name for
Antichrist, we are looking
00:22:13.78\00:22:15.31
at here, another
name of Antichrist,
00:22:15.32\00:22:16.73
first of all it's a man
of sin, son of perdition
00:22:16.74\00:22:19.13
or Antichrist, it's
all referring to the same
00:22:19.14\00:22:20.93
character, and
where does this guy come
00:22:20.94\00:22:22.41
from? Within the
church, now it's very
00:22:22.42\00:22:24.94
interesting, one of
the terms he uses here,
00:22:24.95\00:22:26.91
is the son of perdition.
Now there is one other
00:22:27.05\00:22:29.36
place in all the Bible,
that you'll find the term
00:22:29.37\00:22:31.17
son of perdition
and you know who he is
00:22:31.18\00:22:32.61
referring to? Judas
Iscariot, you got that
00:22:32.62\00:22:35.42
exactly right, Judas
Iscariot is found in John
00:22:35.43\00:22:37.22
chapter 17 and
verse 12, when Jesus says,
00:22:37.23\00:22:39.48
you know, I have
kept all you gave me Lord,
00:22:39.49\00:22:41.21
speaking to his father,
he is praying in John 17,
00:22:41.68\00:22:43.59
I have kept all
that you have given to me
00:22:43.60\00:22:44.93
except one, the son
of perdition, you know,
00:22:44.94\00:22:48.83
and he is referring
to Judas Iscariot there,
00:22:49.10\00:22:50.45
you read all through
the chapters obviously
00:22:50.46\00:22:51.84
he is referring
to Judas Iscariot,
00:22:51.85\00:22:52.82
so it's
fascinating. Let me ask you,
00:22:52.83\00:22:54.37
was Judas a violent
opposer to Christ from
00:22:55.21\00:22:57.63
outside his realm
outside his church?
00:22:57.64\00:22:59.62
No he was actually
a sort of very much an
00:23:00.18\00:23:02.59
imposter; even the
disciples themselves did
00:23:02.60\00:23:05.17
not realize that
Judas would be betraying
00:23:05.18\00:23:07.17
Christ. It was much
later that they figured
00:23:07.18\00:23:09.54
out like after
everything took place,
00:23:09.55\00:23:11.25
then they looked
back and said oh,
00:23:11.26\00:23:12.48
he was the one who betrayed him,
00:23:12.91\00:23:14.20
that's what exactly
what Jesus said what
00:23:14.33\00:23:15.45
happened to him, he
said he betrayed just
00:23:15.46\00:23:16.85
like that he said,
but they didn't get it at
00:23:16.86\00:23:18.29
that time, and so
he was so good in his
00:23:18.30\00:23:20.73
deception, this Antichrist,
this form of Antichrist
00:23:20.74\00:23:24.12
Judas Iscariot was
so good in deception,
00:23:24.13\00:23:26.19
that the disciples the
closest people of Jesus
00:23:27.25\00:23:29.66
in the church didn't
get it, you understand why
00:23:29.67\00:23:32.99
Jesus so much
warns, that this last day
00:23:33.00\00:23:34.92
deceptions will be
very strong. Do you
00:23:34.93\00:23:36.44
understand a
little bit more now,
00:23:36.45\00:23:37.43
I mean we think
about that when we do the
00:23:37.44\00:23:38.41
study on Antichrist
part one that we did.
00:23:38.42\00:23:40.13
Can you understand
why we spend so much
00:23:40.36\00:23:42.00
time emphasizing that
for every truth God has,
00:23:42.01\00:23:44.50
the devil has the
counterfeit, because all
00:23:44.51\00:23:46.82
through it's been
that way. And Jesus does
00:23:46.83\00:23:48.97
not want His
disciples to be deceived about
00:23:48.98\00:23:50.65
that, He actually
told them, I'm going to be
00:23:50.66\00:23:52.52
betrayed, they
didn't have to be deceived
00:23:52.94\00:23:55.01
about that you know,
even when Judas come,
00:23:55.02\00:23:56.81
Judas did he
betray me with the kiss?
00:23:56.82\00:23:58.60
You know but they
were not getting it because
00:23:59.17\00:24:02.48
it didn't fit what
they wanted to happen.
00:24:02.49\00:24:03.99
And so as we find
here Paul again says,
00:24:04.65\00:24:06.73
this man of sin, the
Antichrist power son of
00:24:06.97\00:24:08.76
perdition is going to
come from within the church
00:24:08.77\00:24:10.71
and it's going to look
just like the real thing.
00:24:10.89\00:24:12.55
It's going to be
very deceptive, are you
00:24:13.61\00:24:16.02
following this? Is it
making any sense, good?
00:24:16.03\00:24:18.22
Alright, now let's
go on now to the next
00:24:18.54\00:24:19.85
text and Shalita is
going to be reading our
00:24:19.86\00:24:21.38
next text, and
start in Revelation 13,
00:24:21.39\00:24:23.13
this is actually the
third name of the Antichrist,
00:24:23.14\00:24:26.98
and it's going to
be, here we go the beast,
00:24:27.64\00:24:31.23
so the third the name
of the Antichrist that
00:24:31.87\00:24:33.17
we were looking at
here or the fourth name
00:24:33.18\00:24:34.62
because we have
the Antichrist, the man
00:24:34.63\00:24:36.29
of sin, son of
perdition and now we are
00:24:36.30\00:24:37.47
looking at
Revelation chapter 13 verses
00:24:37.48\00:24:39.56
1-3 the beast and
Shalita you gonna read
00:24:39.57\00:24:43.40
that for us. And I
stood up on the sand of
00:24:43.41\00:24:46.99
the sea and saw a
beast arise up out of
00:24:47.00\00:24:49.85
the sea. Okay, the
sea beasts exactly,
00:24:49.86\00:24:51.59
go ahead, I'm
sorry. Having seven heads
00:24:51.60\00:24:53.65
and ten horns and up
on his horns ten crowns
00:24:53.74\00:24:57.06
and up on his heads
the name of Blasphemy.
00:24:57.37\00:25:00.28
And the beast which
I saw was liken to a
00:25:00.77\00:25:03.03
leopard and his
feet were as the feet
00:25:03.12\00:25:05.91
of a bear. And his
mouth as a mouth of a
00:25:05.92\00:25:09.09
lion and the
dragon gave him his power
00:25:09.10\00:25:12.38
and his seat and
great authority, and I saw
00:25:12.71\00:25:15.67
one of his heads as
if it were wounded unto
00:25:15.68\00:25:17.84
death and his
deadly wound was healed
00:25:17.85\00:25:21.25
and all the world
wondered after the beast.
00:25:21.67\00:25:23.76
So we have this
another term we have for
00:25:23.77\00:25:25.58
the Antichrist and
we gonna have a study
00:25:25.59\00:25:27.09
later on that
reveals, I mean it talks about
00:25:27.10\00:25:29.23
the Revelation 13
there in more detail
00:25:29.24\00:25:31.14
obviously we
will cover that later,
00:25:31.15\00:25:32.41
but this is
another description of the
00:25:32.50\00:25:34.19
Antichrist and we
are going to be referring
00:25:34.20\00:25:35.91
some time in the
study today, we have
00:25:35.92\00:25:37.16
already referred
back to Revelation 13 at
00:25:37.17\00:25:38.62
some point there
from Daniel chapter 7,
00:25:38.63\00:25:40.33
but it's interesting
there that this Antichrist
00:25:40.63\00:25:42.71
power that we are
talking about here its
00:25:42.72\00:25:44.60
given in symbolism
here and it's called the
00:25:44.61\00:25:46.60
sea beast. Right, so
you find, you find that
00:25:47.13\00:25:50.00
the Antichrist
is both Antichrist,
00:25:50.01\00:25:51.83
the man of sin, the
son of perdition and also
00:25:52.18\00:25:54.32
the sea beast, but
you know he has another
00:25:54.33\00:25:56.02
name, there is another
name for this Antichrist
00:25:56.03\00:25:58.86
power and this is
the one we're going to be
00:25:58.87\00:25:59.88
studying particularly
it is found in Daniel
00:25:59.89\00:26:01.86
chapter 7. If you
open your Bibles in Daniel
00:26:01.87\00:26:04.19
chapter 7, I put the
slide up the screen now
00:26:04.20\00:26:05.94
for his last name
of the Antichrist,
00:26:05.95\00:26:07.67
Daniel chapter 7 in
verse 8 he's called,
00:26:07.89\00:26:10.47
somebody read and
then we will reveal the
00:26:10.49\00:26:11.75
name that's probably
already on the screen
00:26:11.76\00:26:13.07
anyway for those
people at home but it's the
00:26:13.08\00:26:14.66
Little Horn, The
Little Horn power in Daniel
00:26:14.67\00:26:17.51
chapter 7, and by
the way if you can't find
00:26:17.52\00:26:19.93
Daniel chapter 7 get
like right in the middle
00:26:19.94\00:26:22.20
of your Bible, if you
get to Ezekiel, the next
00:26:22.21\00:26:24.08
book if you find the
little prophet like Hosea,
00:26:24.09\00:26:26.24
Amos, Obadiah,
those books there back up
00:26:27.98\00:26:30.71
just a little bit to
the left in you Bible and
00:26:30.72\00:26:32.67
you will find,
you get to the Psalms,
00:26:32.68\00:26:34.28
Proverbs,
Ecclesiastes, Song Of Solomon,
00:26:34.29\00:26:36.05
Isaiah, Jeremiah,
Lamentations, Ezekiel,
00:26:36.06\00:26:37.93
then you get to book
of Daniel, so if you are
00:26:38.06\00:26:39.63
some where in the
Bible and you found one
00:26:39.64\00:26:40.71
of those books and
you are looking for the
00:26:40.72\00:26:42.19
book of Daniel, I'm
just trying to give you time
00:26:42.20\00:26:43.72
to find it. We are
going to Daniel chapter 7
00:26:43.73\00:26:46.00
and we're going to
be part there pretty
00:26:46.59\00:26:47.81
much the rest of the
study, very well that
00:26:47.82\00:26:51.67
we will be outside
the book Daniel here as we
00:26:51.68\00:26:53.60
reveal this
Antichrist power, and so we're
00:26:53.61\00:26:56.36
gonna have Daniel
chapter 7 and verse 8
00:26:56.37\00:26:58.37
read by Bill right
now, Bill is going to read
00:26:58.50\00:26:59.98
Daniel chapter 7 and verse 8
00:26:59.99\00:27:01.21
back there, go ahead Bill.
00:27:01.22\00:27:02.72
I was considering
the horns, and there was
00:27:03.39\00:27:05.49
another horn, a
little one, coming up among
00:27:05.50\00:27:08.17
them, before whom
three of the first horns
00:27:08.18\00:27:11.89
were plucked out by
the roots. And there,
00:27:11.90\00:27:15.15
in this horn, were
eyes like the eyes of a
00:27:15.16\00:27:17.57
man, and a mouth
speaking pompous words.
00:27:17.58\00:27:19.79
As he has read that
right now just now Bill
00:27:20.76\00:27:22.40
thank you so much,
you read that Daniel
00:27:22.41\00:27:23.79
Chapter 7 verse 8, he
said that he considered
00:27:23.80\00:27:25.48
the horns and then
his horns came up and
00:27:25.49\00:27:27.49
his little horn came
up later. Now what we're
00:27:27.50\00:27:29.58
gonna show from
Bible as the Bible
00:27:29.59\00:27:31.59
describes for us we're
gonna show in this study,
00:27:31.60\00:27:33.92
in this Bible study,
that this little horn is what
00:27:33.98\00:27:36.31
the Bible refers to
is Antichrist, the man
00:27:36.32\00:27:38.25
of sin, the son of
perdition and the beast,
00:27:38.26\00:27:40.33
the first beast of
Revelation chapter 13.
00:27:40.34\00:27:42.09
Then we're gonna
show that from the
00:27:42.36\00:27:43.33
Bible through the
study that's the idea
00:27:43.34\00:27:45.27
through what we're
gonna be doing from here on
00:27:45.28\00:27:46.93
now. Now before
the Antichrist come
00:27:46.94\00:27:49.30
remember we have
this divided up at the
00:27:49.31\00:27:51.01
beginning of the
study, we show that it was
00:27:51.02\00:27:52.17
divided up and the
first thing was going
00:27:52.18\00:27:54.01
to cover was
what? The names of the
00:27:54.02\00:27:55.44
Antichrist
remember that and we covered
00:27:55.45\00:27:57.13
that has that been
pretty clear the names.
00:27:57.14\00:27:58.61
Now we're gonna
cover the next part is
00:27:59.01\00:28:00.46
what's happening
prior to the Antichrist
00:28:00.47\00:28:02.88
coming upon the
scene. In other words it's
00:28:02.89\00:28:05.01
going to give us time
in history little bit to
00:28:05.02\00:28:06.65
whom we would be
looking for this Antichrist
00:28:06.66\00:28:08.13
power to rise up. Now
I think this is powerful
00:28:08.14\00:28:10.27
we get to study
this more when we get to
00:28:10.83\00:28:12.89
that study on the
judgment part two of the
00:28:12.90\00:28:15.16
judgment and I
looked at the scheduled and
00:28:15.17\00:28:16.83
I have the privilege
of doing that study so
00:28:16.84\00:28:18.20
I don't want to
steal my thunder too much
00:28:18.21\00:28:19.65
right now, but it's
very interesting in Daniel
00:28:19.66\00:28:21.66
chapter 7, I'm gonna
go and hit this a little
00:28:21.67\00:28:23.18
bit, because people
have short term memory loss,
00:28:23.19\00:28:25.59
you know don't
forget about it by the time
00:28:25.60\00:28:26.60
we go over again, but
its interesting because in
00:28:26.61\00:28:28.68
Daniel chapter 7 it
gives, it gives these
00:28:28.69\00:28:30.31
world power, it
goes just like Daniel 2,
00:28:30.32\00:28:32.95
there is Babylon,
Persia, Greece and Rome and
00:28:32.96\00:28:35.34
then has the, Romans
are divided, then this
00:28:35.35\00:28:37.27
little horn power
comes to power and the
00:28:37.28\00:28:39.15
next thing it talks
about in Daniel 7 is
00:28:39.16\00:28:40.71
judgment scene and
then the second coming
00:28:40.72\00:28:43.11
of Christ. So, it kind
of give you an outline a
00:28:43.12\00:28:46.00
time outline of
Jesus kind of coming after
00:28:46.01\00:28:49.36
the Antichrist
through the study. So, once
00:28:49.37\00:28:51.59
again it proves that
what we'll be able to
00:28:51.60\00:28:53.56
prove through the
study is what the same
00:28:53.57\00:28:55.38
thing that we find in
the New Testament that
00:28:55.39\00:28:56.88
in the New Testament
and the Old Testament
00:28:56.89\00:28:58.89
agree. The New
Testament and the Old
00:28:58.90\00:29:01.17
Testament agree that
what the order events
00:29:01.18\00:29:04.02
has the Antichrist
coming before Jesus
00:29:04.03\00:29:06.17
Christ comes. Now I
remember we talked about
00:29:06.18\00:29:08.48
that there is a deception
in the last days right?
00:29:09.00\00:29:10.72
The Bible talks
about every truth that God
00:29:10.92\00:29:12.54
has, the devil
has the counterfeit,
00:29:12.55\00:29:14.45
well you know what
the counterfeit is today.
00:29:14.73\00:29:15.96
The counterfeit today
is believed by much of
00:29:16.85\00:29:18.61
Christianity that
first Jesus comes and then
00:29:18.62\00:29:21.66
the Antichrist power
comes in, comes in to
00:29:21.67\00:29:23.97
play, but you have
this timeline to look at
00:29:23.98\00:29:26.27
Daniel 7, again Daniel
8 and Daniel 9 and then
00:29:26.28\00:29:30.50
you find that in the
New Testament and Paul
00:29:30.51\00:29:32.50
there in 2nd Thessalonians, they
00:29:32.51\00:29:33.98
all said, no, no, no,
first the Antichrist is gonna
00:29:33.99\00:29:37.27
be revealed and
then Jesus will come,
00:29:37.28\00:29:39.17
not the other way
around, but just because
00:29:39.34\00:29:42.19
of the multitude of
the Christians, multitude
00:29:42.20\00:29:43.54
of people believe it
to be the other way is
00:29:43.55\00:29:45.46
that make it true? If
I read my Bible correctly
00:29:45.47\00:29:47.86
Jesus said that there
is broad road that many
00:29:47.87\00:29:49.93
people are going to
be following is going to
00:29:49.94\00:29:51.27
lead to destruction
and at a very narrow
00:29:51.28\00:29:52.96
road that if you are
going to be on it's going
00:29:52.97\00:29:54.42
to eternal life, so
are we safe to follow the
00:29:54.43\00:29:56.49
multitudes, no Moses
says, Moses says back
00:29:56.50\00:30:00.25
in I think its in
Deuteronomy where he
00:30:00.26\00:30:01.63
says don't follow
multitude and do evil and
00:30:01.64\00:30:04.58
evil is any time is
out side the word of God,
00:30:04.59\00:30:06.32
you know, then we
know that the sin is
00:30:06.62\00:30:08.15
defined by the
transgression law, but has
00:30:08.16\00:30:09.60
the another
definition too, you know what it
00:30:09.61\00:30:10.84
is? To know to do
good and do not do to
00:30:10.85\00:30:13.42
that a sin and that's
found in James chapter
00:30:13.43\00:30:15.85
4 verse 17. Okay, now
we're gonna start looking
00:30:15.86\00:30:18.61
now at the
characteristic, the things
00:30:18.62\00:30:20.99
that are going to
be taking place on this
00:30:21.00\00:30:22.18
earth prior to the
Antichrist coming on the
00:30:22.19\00:30:24.87
scene. In the next
text we're gonna be reading,
00:30:24.88\00:30:26.98
it's found in Daniel
chapter 7 and we're gonna
00:30:26.99\00:30:28.89
read verse 1-3,
Daniel 7:1-3. Now I wanna
00:30:28.90\00:30:31.60
pause here for a
second and look at the
00:30:31.80\00:30:33.44
slide, for those
people who are marking their
00:30:33.45\00:30:35.38
Bibles here and at
home, I know that some
00:30:35.39\00:30:37.45
people just kind of
tune in certain times and
00:30:37.46\00:30:39.73
they haven't seen
prior to this, but when
00:30:39.74\00:30:41.84
you're at Daniel
chapter 7 verse 1-3,
00:30:41.85\00:30:44.10
from there you are
right 5AC to because we
00:30:44.66\00:30:46.49
are on the fifth text
on that Antichrist part
00:30:46.50\00:30:49.62
2 study and then you
see this line here your
00:30:49.63\00:30:52.16
right that have 5AC
to have a circle then
00:30:52.17\00:30:54.33
a line coming out
from it, on the top of the
00:30:54.34\00:30:56.40
line Daniel chapter 7
and verse 8 that's the
00:30:56.41\00:30:59.00
text that what? You
came from it, it just
00:30:59.01\00:31:01.54
right there above it
doesn't it? Right, and in
00:31:01.55\00:31:03.03
Daniel chapter seven
verse 4 is the text going
00:31:03.04\00:31:04.87
to next, but now
this study is gonna be
00:31:04.88\00:31:06.45
marked it's a little
different in your Bible,
00:31:06.46\00:31:07.76
okay then the rest
of them and this is why,
00:31:08.64\00:31:10.72
because we go from Daniel 7:1-3,
00:31:11.02\00:31:12.87
to Daniel 7:4, then
Daniel 7:5, Daniel 7:6,
00:31:13.05\00:31:16.27
Daniel 7:7, Daniel
7:8. Now you don't have to
00:31:16.28\00:31:19.22
go each one of those
right ok this is Daniel
00:31:19.23\00:31:20.97
7:5 6 7 8, the easy
way of doing this since
00:31:20.98\00:31:23.67
you know you just
gonna be going through,
00:31:23.68\00:31:25.19
is like straight
through, you can mark
00:31:25.20\00:31:27.64
like that it if
you want no problem,
00:31:27.65\00:31:28.88
but you are gonna
run out of space maybe
00:31:29.06\00:31:30.67
unless your Bible is
big enough and you write
00:31:30.68\00:31:31.87
small enough, but
what I do is I take color
00:31:31.88\00:31:33.89
pencils, and what
we are learning here is
00:31:33.90\00:31:36.30
just learning how to
give a study and give
00:31:36.31\00:31:38.12
an intelligence
study of the truth of God's
00:31:38.13\00:31:39.90
word, take color
pencils and I like take that
00:31:39.91\00:31:42.44
and on verse 4 I'll
color with one pencil and
00:31:42.45\00:31:44.91
then verse 5 I'll color
with a different pencil,
00:31:44.92\00:31:46.50
and it just tells me
I'm going through there,
00:31:46.77\00:31:48.14
okay I'm just
reading this one verse,
00:31:48.32\00:31:49.78
then this one verse
and eventually after just
00:31:50.06\00:31:52.23
a few times you
have given a study,
00:31:52.24\00:31:53.27
you know, you
don't do that anyway.
00:31:53.28\00:31:54.47
Are you following
that? Is there any problem
00:31:54.85\00:31:56.82
with this? Since you
are going from text to
00:31:56.83\00:31:58.44
another and then
straight in a row there is
00:31:58.45\00:31:59.87
no sense in marking
your five, six, seven,
00:31:59.88\00:32:01.77
eight, but if you
want to by all means do it,
00:32:01.78\00:32:04.62
it just takes a little
more space and so since
00:32:05.28\00:32:07.20
we are going straight
through this study and
00:32:07.21\00:32:08.56
it's identity, we're
just gonna read the text,
00:32:08.57\00:32:10.28
pause, give a
description and read the next
00:32:10.52\00:32:12.55
text, alright. Everybody
okay with doing at that
00:32:12.56\00:32:15.71
way? Yeah so some
of the studies are
00:32:17.11\00:32:18.08
marked just a little
bit different, and this is
00:32:18.09\00:32:19.06
one of them, so
let's go to it now.
00:32:19.07\00:32:20.50
Daniel chapter 7 verse 1-3,
00:32:21.63\00:32:23.26
Jessica, go ahead sister.
00:32:23.27\00:32:24.50
Earlier during
the first year of king
00:32:25.82\00:32:28.10
Belshazzar's Reign in Babylon,
00:32:28.11\00:32:30.20
Daniel had a
dream and saw visions as
00:32:30.76\00:32:33.09
he lay in his bed.
He wrote the dream down
00:32:33.10\00:32:36.53
and this is what
he saw and made vision
00:32:36.58\00:32:39.89
that night I Daniel
saw great storm turning
00:32:39.90\00:32:43.25
the surface of a
great sea with strong winds
00:32:43.26\00:32:47.05
blowing with every
direction then for a
00:32:47.06\00:32:51.08
huge beast came
up out of the water
00:32:51.09\00:32:53.10
each different from the others.
00:32:53.47\00:32:55.36
Alright so what we
are finding here is Daniel
00:32:56.00\00:32:58.75
is having what, it's
some kind of a dream,
00:32:58.76\00:33:00.56
right? You read that
and he says he is having
00:33:00.57\00:33:03.65
a dream. Now
when you have a dream,
00:33:03.66\00:33:05.44
even today Jessica
when some one has a
00:33:05.74\00:33:07.47
dream, you ever had
somebody come to you
00:33:07.48\00:33:09.03
and said you know
I have this dream,
00:33:09.04\00:33:10.80
but I was like
falling out of an airplane and
00:33:11.23\00:33:13.55
this helicopter
came underneath me and
00:33:13.56\00:33:14.89
caught me and then I
fell off the helicopter
00:33:14.90\00:33:17.38
I fell on this way
and some thing like that,
00:33:17.39\00:33:18.93
you right, are you
following what I'm saying
00:33:18.94\00:33:19.91
right before I hit
the ground I woke up,
00:33:20.00\00:33:21.37
what do you think
that means? Have anybody
00:33:21.53\00:33:23.34
do that to you? Like
what do you think that
00:33:23.35\00:33:24.95
dream means? Well I
think you ate too much
00:33:24.96\00:33:26.85
pizza, you know, you
shouldn't eat so like
00:33:26.86\00:33:29.46
before you go to bed
so that's what I think
00:33:29.47\00:33:30.44
the dream means,
but you know it wasn't
00:33:30.45\00:33:32.32
always, it hasn't
always the case of many
00:33:32.33\00:33:33.90
people even today
dreams mean something
00:33:33.91\00:33:35.91
and so but now in
Daniel case here his dream
00:33:36.66\00:33:38.80
actually did mean
something because it was
00:33:38.81\00:33:40.22
from God. God was
giving him this dream with his
00:33:40.23\00:33:42.90
vision and it did
mean something now
00:33:42.91\00:33:44.27
whenever you ask
what do you think dream
00:33:45.37\00:33:46.64
means you know,
what you actually saying,
00:33:46.65\00:33:47.86
what do you think
these symbols are in this
00:33:48.26\00:33:50.08
dream? Most people
with that, you don't even
00:33:50.09\00:33:52.16
have much Bible
scholarly work and studying
00:33:52.17\00:33:54.18
to realize when it's a
dream in the Bible or a
00:33:54.19\00:33:56.16
vision, then it's
symbolically, it speaking
00:33:56.17\00:33:58.51
of symbols, okay.
And so we know that this
00:33:58.52\00:34:01.42
is going to be
symbols then we find out that
00:34:01.43\00:34:02.99
it is actually just as
we go through the study
00:34:03.00\00:34:04.78
because when he
starts describing the
00:34:04.79\00:34:06.85
things happening in
the dreams, he tells what
00:34:06.86\00:34:08.66
the symbols mean,
but now the first part
00:34:08.67\00:34:10.84
the first three verses,
he doesn't actually give
00:34:10.85\00:34:12.75
the description of
what those symbols mean?
00:34:12.76\00:34:14.26
So we're gonna have to
like get our fingers just
00:34:14.97\00:34:16.41
a little bit dirty and
find out from Bible what
00:34:16.42\00:34:19.33
these symbols mean,
this first few symbols and
00:34:19.34\00:34:21.05
then the rest of
them like the beasts,
00:34:21.06\00:34:22.29
the horns and those
kind of things we found
00:34:22.30\00:34:24.06
out what those
symbols mean right from the
00:34:24.07\00:34:25.56
Bible, so if the
beast is the symbol, and the
00:34:25.57\00:34:28.89
horns are the
symbol and Daniel tells us
00:34:28.90\00:34:30.28
what they mean, but
the wind, what about
00:34:30.29\00:34:33.34
the wind and the
waters and those kind of
00:34:33.35\00:34:35.44
things, how do we
know what those things
00:34:35.45\00:34:37.13
represents if
Daniel doesn't tell us.
00:34:37.14\00:34:38.54
You know what
you can do? You can
00:34:38.55\00:34:40.28
look other places in
the Bible when the similar
00:34:40.29\00:34:42.09
things are taking
place to understand it.
00:34:42.10\00:34:43.69
Now here's one of
those times you may wanna
00:34:44.08\00:34:45.51
get your pencil out
and be ready because as
00:34:45.52\00:34:48.24
we go to our next
slide here on the screen,
00:34:48.25\00:34:49.81
I wanna just give you
the definition of wind,
00:34:50.06\00:34:51.93
according to Bible
prophecy, wind, when
00:34:51.94\00:34:54.98
you think of wind and
symbolically speaking,
00:34:54.99\00:34:57.15
it represents strife
or war, and you find it,
00:34:57.36\00:34:59.97
the text reference
there showing there in
00:34:59.98\00:35:01.22
Jeremiah chapter
49 verses 36 and 37,
00:35:01.23\00:35:04.19
and we will go
there in just a moment,
00:35:04.20\00:35:05.57
but I wanna give
you a few more verses to
00:35:05.58\00:35:07.39
help do that as well
and it's not going to be
00:35:07.40\00:35:09.37
on screen, you should
write it down if you want
00:35:09.38\00:35:10.83
them and I tell you
what I do, in this study
00:35:10.84\00:35:12.97
when I'm giving
this, most of the time as
00:35:13.73\00:35:16.19
you are writing there.
I'll just tell you this,
00:35:16.20\00:35:17.29
most of the time
when I'm giving the study
00:35:17.30\00:35:18.66
to someone in a
Bible study setting and I
00:35:18.67\00:35:20.74
said hey you know
what according to Jeremiah,
00:35:20.75\00:35:22.70
chapter 49 verse 36
and 37, wind represents
00:35:22.71\00:35:26.24
strife and
commotion when you speaking
00:35:26.25\00:35:27.66
symbolically, they
say oh, really okay,
00:35:28.18\00:35:29.99
if they are like
that, I don't have to go and
00:35:30.30\00:35:32.07
prove that, but in
case they want to turn
00:35:32.08\00:35:34.36
there we can go and
prove that it, okay.
00:35:34.37\00:35:35.59
You don't have to
prove every single thing
00:35:35.60\00:35:37.44
as long as you can
prove every single thing.
00:35:38.42\00:35:40.04
Are you following
that? And so, and so what
00:35:40.94\00:35:43.18
I do here in my Bible
instead of saying okay,
00:35:43.19\00:35:45.03
after I read Daniel
7:1-3, about the wind
00:35:45.69\00:35:47.95
then my next text
is Jeremiah 49:36-37.
00:35:48.18\00:35:50.97
I don't do that way,
what I do is, is in the
00:35:50.98\00:35:53.40
very top part of
my margin of my Bible,
00:35:53.41\00:35:54.86
very top up here, you
see written little small
00:35:55.49\00:35:57.29
there, I just wrote
a little winds equals,
00:35:57.30\00:35:59.81
and then I didn't
write wind equals strife
00:35:59.82\00:36:01.77
commotion war, I
just wrote winds equals
00:36:01.78\00:36:03.73
Jeremiah 49:36-37,
Jeremiah, and I then
00:36:03.98\00:36:07.64
I didn't write
Jeremiah again, I just wrote
00:36:07.65\00:36:09.34
that again
chapter 25 verse 31 to 33,
00:36:12.01\00:36:12.98
so Jeremiah
chapter 25 verse 31-33,
00:36:12.99\00:36:15.29
you find the same
thing that the war
00:36:15.30\00:36:17.25
represents strife
commotion and winds
00:36:17.26\00:36:19.21
rather winds
represents war strife and
00:36:19.38\00:36:21.78
commotion, and then
here chapter 4 verse 11-33
00:36:21.79\00:36:26.19
still on the same book
of Jeremiah, so Jeremiah
00:36:26.20\00:36:29.52
chapter 49, 36 and
37, Jeremiah chapter 25,
00:36:29.53\00:36:33.84
31-33 and
Jeremiah chapter 4, 11-13,
00:36:33.85\00:36:38.12
everybody get those.
Okay, and for those of you
00:36:39.51\00:36:42.57
are at home, we
will probably have those
00:36:42.58\00:36:44.36
also it will be on the
study guides by the time
00:36:44.37\00:36:46.11
we upload on the
internet, so you will be
00:36:46.12\00:36:47.53
able to get there
and just download should
00:36:47.54\00:36:48.97
it ought be there,
but if it's not there well
00:36:48.98\00:36:50.91
you got it now just
go and get your pens
00:36:50.92\00:36:52.38
and write it down,
so Jeremiah 49, 36-37
00:36:52.39\00:36:55.96
Jeremiah 25: 31-33 and
then 4:11-13 and there is
00:36:56.39\00:36:59.60
one more, it's found
in the book of Zechariah,
00:36:59.61\00:37:01.45
there's no book Zechariah, yeah,
00:37:01.91\00:37:03.01
it's in the Bible.
Zechariah, Zechariah
00:37:03.02\00:37:05.55
actually
Zechariah chapter 7 verse14,
00:37:05.56\00:37:10.26
Zechariah chapter 7
verse 14, any of those
00:37:11.18\00:37:13.37
texts you can kind
of use as, as an idea to
00:37:13.38\00:37:15.38
get the idea that when
you see winds and strife,
00:37:15.39\00:37:17.26
winds in the Bible
is talking about strife
00:37:17.63\00:37:19.10
commotion and war,
okay so we're gonna start
00:37:19.11\00:37:21.31
plugging in these
Bible symbols as we go,
00:37:21.32\00:37:23.42
and so Daniel
chapter 7, verse 1-3,
00:37:23.88\00:37:26.88
we read that Daniel
sees these winds blowing
00:37:26.89\00:37:29.59
up on the great
sea, but what these winds
00:37:29.60\00:37:31.36
represent? well,
let's look in the Jeremiah,
00:37:31.37\00:37:34.10
really quick,
Jeremiah chapter 49,
00:37:34.11\00:37:35.54
it's to the left in your
Bible, you are in Daniel,
00:37:35.55\00:37:37.23
keep your place
mark there in Daniel,
00:37:37.49\00:37:38.97
that way you're
gonna be there whenever you
00:37:39.53\00:37:40.79
get back, right? And
you are going go back
00:37:40.80\00:37:42.76
to Jeremiah and we
gonna look at the 49
00:37:42.77\00:37:44.96
chapter. Isaiah,
Jeremiah, chapter 49 and
00:37:44.97\00:37:50.78
we're gonna give
example something going
00:37:50.79\00:37:52.13
on there and the
prophet is speaking,
00:37:52.14\00:37:53.70
the prophet Jeremiah
and he starts talking about
00:37:53.71\00:37:55.73
winds representing
you know like strife,
00:37:55.74\00:37:57.73
commotion war
conquering actually what it is.
00:37:58.23\00:38:00.51
Got to get there
myself, Jeremiah, the 49
00:38:01.05\00:38:06.23
chapter starting in
verse 36, he is speaking,
00:38:06.24\00:38:08.92
the prophet here
Jeremiah is speaking,
00:38:08.93\00:38:10.06
he says up on Ileum
will I bring the four
00:38:10.07\00:38:12.43
winds of the four
quarters of heaven,
00:38:12.44\00:38:14.10
so up on Ileum I'm
going to bring the four
00:38:14.79\00:38:16.44
winds and the four
quarters of the heaven,
00:38:16.45\00:38:17.75
so these winds are
going to be coming from
00:38:18.16\00:38:19.66
all directions,
are you following this?
00:38:19.67\00:38:20.98
And will scatter them
towards all those winds,
00:38:22.24\00:38:24.75
in other words in
heaven that will be scattered
00:38:24.76\00:38:26.13
towards all those
winds. There shall be no
00:38:26.14\00:38:28.19
nation whether
the out cast of Ileum,
00:38:28.20\00:38:30.25
shall not come, so
the winds are gonna cause
00:38:31.72\00:38:34.03
the everything the
whole nation is going to
00:38:34.04\00:38:35.01
be scattered are you
following the mindset
00:38:35.02\00:38:36.32
there, now you think
that would actually do
00:38:36.33\00:38:38.39
with tornado, no let
us find out, he tells us
00:38:38.40\00:38:41.88
exactly what
he's going to do with,
00:38:41.89\00:38:42.94
for our cause Ileum
to be dismay before their
00:38:43.27\00:38:45.28
enemies, and before
them shall, and before
00:38:45.29\00:38:48.92
them that seek their
life and I'll bring evil
00:38:48.93\00:38:51.76
upon them. Even my
fierce anger said Lord,
00:38:51.77\00:38:55.25
I will sin the sword
or a war or a battling,
00:38:55.26\00:38:57.96
I'll sin the sword after
them till I have consumed
00:38:57.97\00:39:00.38
them, so are you
following which is one
00:39:00.39\00:39:02.61
example there Jeremiah
says I'm going to bring
00:39:02.62\00:39:04.47
these winds upon the
people, they are going
00:39:04.48\00:39:06.16
to be scattered
everywhere, but he is not
00:39:06.17\00:39:08.15
talking about the
hurricanes, it's going, it's
00:39:08.16\00:39:09.69
turning in the
Atlantic right now as a matter
00:39:09.70\00:39:11.46
of fact its way
toward ford have you seen
00:39:11.47\00:39:12.80
that, yeah, we may
have to call classes short
00:39:12.81\00:39:14.94
for a minute, but
they, they say yeah there
00:39:14.95\00:39:16.08
is a hurricane out
there and is turning up
00:39:16.09\00:39:17.37
this way, it started
last night. He is not talking
00:39:17.38\00:39:20.59
about hurricane
coming and scattered them,
00:39:20.60\00:39:21.93
right? He is
talking about an actual war,
00:39:21.94\00:39:24.01
he is gonna use, he
use a symbolism of the
00:39:24.02\00:39:26.38
winds coming and
scattering them, are you
00:39:26.39\00:39:28.92
following this? So
wind, strife, commotion,
00:39:28.93\00:39:30.44
war that's one
example, now you get them
00:39:30.73\00:39:32.19
more, you can get
them other texts and keep
00:39:32.20\00:39:33.61
studying them
deeper but that's just one
00:39:33.62\00:39:35.15
example. And so from
there also after we look
00:39:35.16\00:39:38.27
at the wind, we look
at the next slide that
00:39:38.28\00:39:39.74
will be on our screen,
you also have the waters,
00:39:39.75\00:39:41.91
he says, and the
water represents populated
00:39:42.28\00:39:44.57
area because when you
read in Daniel chapter
00:39:44.58\00:39:46.32
7, where she just read
for us, Daniel chapter 7
00:39:46.33\00:39:48.90
verse 3 says, great
beast coming up out of
00:39:48.91\00:39:50.87
the sea, now what's
the sea? It's a water,
00:39:50.88\00:39:54.25
representing what
does water represent?
00:39:54.45\00:39:56.23
Very interesting, if
you go to the Book of
00:39:56.47\00:39:58.95
Revelation
chapter 17 and verse 15,
00:39:59.13\00:40:01.16
Revelation chapter 17
verse 15, we can actually
00:40:01.60\00:40:04.35
find, water is that
waters represent speaking
00:40:04.42\00:40:09.12
biblically in a Bible
prophecy and symbolism,
00:40:09.13\00:40:11.17
you know Revelation 17
is speaking symbolically,
00:40:11.37\00:40:13.75
you know for sure
right? Revelation chapter 17
00:40:14.12\00:40:16.73
and verse 15, it says
this, and he said on to me
00:40:17.26\00:40:20.06
the waters which you
saw were the horse sits
00:40:20.42\00:40:23.11
are the people's and
multitudes and nations
00:40:23.36\00:40:26.46
and tongues, so
what are the water
00:40:26.83\00:40:28.71
representing in
Revelation 17? People,
00:40:28.72\00:40:31.36
multitudes,
nations and tongues, right,
00:40:31.37\00:40:33.08
so what he suppose
the water represents
00:40:33.28\00:40:34.73
when Daniel sees
these winds blowing upon
00:40:34.74\00:40:36.30
the waters, highly
populated area, multitudes
00:40:36.31\00:40:39.27
of people, nations
and tongues, now, now that
00:40:39.28\00:40:41.76
you kind a picture
of what the vision is
00:40:41.77\00:40:43.39
representing
right, you are getting an
00:40:43.40\00:40:44.47
understanding of
this? So what Daniel sees
00:40:44.48\00:40:46.77
he sees this water
out there and he sees,
00:40:46.78\00:40:48.69
he sees the wind
blowing and frolicking around,
00:40:48.84\00:40:51.15
and the water being
turned up and you know
00:40:51.16\00:40:52.21
what pops up out of that water?
00:40:52.22\00:40:53.46
Strange can you imagine
having a dream like this?
00:40:54.57\00:40:56.13
I'll, I'll not be able
to go back to sleep for
00:40:56.14\00:40:57.91
a week. The next
slide we look at here on the
00:40:57.92\00:40:59.66
screen it says the
beast are equal to kings or
00:40:59.67\00:41:02.72
kingdoms and you
find that Daniel actually
00:41:02.73\00:41:05.02
himself gives you
the answer to those Bible
00:41:05.03\00:41:07.20
symbols himself, and
you find that in Daniel
00:41:07.21\00:41:09.23
chapter 7 verse
17, 23, how do we know
00:41:09.24\00:41:11.74
that the winds are
symbolic? How do we know
00:41:11.75\00:41:14.17
that the water is
symbolic? Because the rest
00:41:14.18\00:41:16.08
of it is symbolic look
at the Daniel chapter 7
00:41:16.09\00:41:17.96
and verse 17, these
great beasts, oh, who is
00:41:17.97\00:41:21.24
reading that one by
the way, am I still reading
00:41:21.25\00:41:22.46
that one, yeah that's
me, these great beasts
00:41:22.47\00:41:25.13
which are four are
four kings which shall rise
00:41:25.17\00:41:28.47
out of here, so who
are the great beasts?
00:41:28.48\00:41:29.91
Kings which rise out
of earth, or, or if you go
00:41:30.88\00:41:33.31
on to the next
verse, verse twenty three,
00:41:33.32\00:41:34.89
the next one we have
here, it says, thus he
00:41:34.90\00:41:36.75
said, the fourth
beast shall be the fourth
00:41:36.76\00:41:39.56
kingdom, which shall
be come up on the earth,
00:41:39.57\00:41:41.87
so now when he ask
you, if the fourth beast
00:41:42.09\00:41:44.30
is the fourth
kingdom, what you suppose the
00:41:44.31\00:41:46.48
third beast is? Oh,
very good how about the
00:41:46.49\00:41:49.42
second beast? The
second kingdom exactly
00:41:49.43\00:41:51.60
right, so if we can
like by this like simple
00:41:51.61\00:41:54.48
reasoning realize
Daniel said that the fourth
00:41:54.49\00:41:56.21
beast is the fourth
kingdom, the second beast
00:41:56.22\00:41:58.04
must be the second
kingdom, the third beast
00:41:58.05\00:42:00.47
must be the third,
the first must be the
00:42:00.48\00:42:01.73
first kingdom, right?
Isn't it interesting because
00:42:01.74\00:42:04.41
we have studied
Daniel chapter 2 haven't we?
00:42:04.42\00:42:06.07
Everybody been
through Daniel chapter two
00:42:06.37\00:42:07.71
right? And in
Daniel chapter 2 how many
00:42:07.72\00:42:09.72
kingdoms rose up in
Daniel 2 started with what
00:42:09.80\00:42:11.80
kingdom, Babylon
and then it went to Medo
00:42:11.81\00:42:15.24
and then to Greece
and the legs of iron were
00:42:15.25\00:42:18.92
Rome and then
what happened to Rome?
00:42:18.93\00:42:20.64
Divided, it was divided,
actually we realize there
00:42:21.22\00:42:23.06
in that image, the
Rome goes all the way down
00:42:23.07\00:42:25.22
in the feet, because
the iron is still in the
00:42:25.23\00:42:26.69
feet, isn't? And it's
actually so it's Rome is
00:42:26.70\00:42:28.72
divided up underneath
the feet, but then what
00:42:28.73\00:42:30.88
happens? The storm
comes representing Jesus
00:42:30.89\00:42:34.37
and destroys that
image, so we had how
00:42:34.38\00:42:36.01
many kingdoms in Daniel chapter,
00:42:36.02\00:42:37.75
Daniel chapter 2,
four Babylon, Medo Persia,
00:42:38.45\00:42:40.40
Greece, Rome, its
very interesting here,
00:42:40.41\00:42:42.07
how many beasts rise
up here? Four Babylon,
00:42:42.26\00:42:45.46
Medo Persia,
Greece and Rome, what God
00:42:45.47\00:42:46.94
does though,
because he doesn't want you
00:42:46.95\00:42:48.29
being deceived, he
expounds on this again,
00:42:48.30\00:42:50.87
he gives the same
thing once again but he
00:42:50.88\00:42:52.76
enlarges on so we
can be sure that you
00:42:52.77\00:42:55.26
get it, you know
people learn all different
00:42:55.27\00:42:57.01
ways don't they? Me,
if I can, if I can watch
00:42:57.02\00:42:59.59
it on television,
because this is the way I
00:42:59.60\00:43:00.99
raise I guess, I can
remember it, but if I
00:43:01.00\00:43:03.01
read it, oh, I got to
read it again and again
00:43:03.02\00:43:04.96
and again, I
just had a harder time
00:43:04.97\00:43:06.12
understanding it
that way, so what God
00:43:06.13\00:43:08.10
does, and He knows
how everybody learns
00:43:08.11\00:43:09.52
all different ways,
and so what he wants to
00:43:09.53\00:43:11.96
do with us, as he
takes us to the same time
00:43:11.97\00:43:14.18
line of events again,
but He adds more detail,
00:43:14.19\00:43:16.44
so we can make
sure that you are not
00:43:16.45\00:43:18.19
deceived by this
Antichrist. And so we are
00:43:18.20\00:43:21.18
going down to and
look at those kingdoms now,
00:43:21.19\00:43:22.91
those kingdoms
though, the four great
00:43:22.92\00:43:24.52
kingdoms that arise
up, we know who they
00:43:24.53\00:43:25.85
are but let's look at
the description that God
00:43:25.86\00:43:27.43
gives us, and we're
gonna find the first part
00:43:27.44\00:43:29.11
of the description,
Mike, Mike back there is
00:43:29.12\00:43:30.62
going to read that
for us, and he is going
00:43:30.63\00:43:31.87
to read Daniel
chapter 7 and verse 4,
00:43:31.88\00:43:33.80
it going to be on
screen there, Daniel 7
00:43:33.81\00:43:35.29
verse 4. Now Mike is
going to read it for us,
00:43:35.30\00:43:37.84
are you there and ready to go?
00:43:37.90\00:43:38.87
Yeah. Alright, Daniel 7:4.
00:43:38.96\00:43:40.48
The first was like a
lion and had eagle's wings,
00:43:41.53\00:43:44.13
I beheld till the
wings there were plucked and
00:43:44.57\00:43:46.86
it was lifted up
from the earth, and made
00:43:46.87\00:43:49.04
stand up on the feet as a man,
00:43:49.05\00:43:50.87
and a man's
heart was given to it.
00:43:51.01\00:43:52.53
Alright so this
symbolism here of this
00:43:53.48\00:43:57.23
first kingdom, now I
already kind of given you,
00:43:57.24\00:43:59.59
given the punch line
there you know, the first
00:43:59.60\00:44:01.06
kingdom we already
stated represents Babylon.
00:44:01.07\00:44:02.98
Now if you remember
back in Daniel chapter 2,
00:44:02.99\00:44:05.13
God doesn't tell us
in Daniel chapter 2,
00:44:05.76\00:44:07.63
who the chest and
arms of silver represent,
00:44:08.17\00:44:09.71
He doesn't tells us in
Daniel chapter two what
00:44:10.23\00:44:11.56
the, what the belly
and thigh brass represents,
00:44:11.57\00:44:13.39
he doesn't even tell us
what the legs represent?
00:44:13.59\00:44:15.16
But he does tells
what the head of the gold
00:44:15.29\00:44:17.63
represents, in
Daniel 2 what he say it
00:44:17.64\00:44:19.22
represents, he says
hey, go king you are
00:44:19.23\00:44:21.84
the head of the
gold Babylon, Babylon
00:44:21.85\00:44:23.39
the head of the gold
right? Here he doesn't
00:44:23.63\00:44:25.52
actually tell us,
what this wing in line
00:44:25.53\00:44:28.14
represents, but we
know that it's Babylon,
00:44:28.15\00:44:30.98
because again it's
parallel in the first
00:44:30.99\00:44:32.77
kingdom, but also the
description that he gives
00:44:32.78\00:44:35.11
and the description
he gives over the next
00:44:35.17\00:44:36.93
kingdoms tells us
who that first one is?
00:44:36.94\00:44:39.04
In other words he
gives the real clear
00:44:39.35\00:44:40.40
description actually
of the second who is the
00:44:40.41\00:44:42.42
bear and then the
third one there that's the
00:44:42.43\00:44:44.77
leopard and tells us
almost exactly who that
00:44:44.78\00:44:46.33
is, and so w can look
at that and so who ruled
00:44:46.34\00:44:49.00
before the bear before
Medo Persia, Babylon did,
00:44:49.28\00:44:51.96
are you following
that, so God doesn't want us
00:44:51.97\00:44:53.36
to us to be, to
be mistaken and start
00:44:53.37\00:44:54.80
thinking, oh, bear
must be Russia, right it's
00:44:54.81\00:44:58.55
the Russian bear, and
then, then it's next no,
00:44:58.56\00:45:01.53
God, God has a order,
He's gonna keep things
00:45:01.54\00:45:03.66
in order right?
And so he gives us
00:45:03.67\00:45:05.37
the description,
so don't be deceived.
00:45:05.38\00:45:06.73
Now here's what
fascinating, it says that
00:45:06.74\00:45:08.75
first one is like a
lion and had eagles wings,
00:45:08.76\00:45:12.48
now I don't have
with me right now all my
00:45:13.33\00:45:15.01
slides but you gonna
find this in National
00:45:15.02\00:45:16.77
Geographic, got a
thing not too long ago,
00:45:16.78\00:45:18.69
it's been some time
back and I got the magazine,
00:45:18.70\00:45:20.53
and I scanned in the
picture and it shows a
00:45:20.87\00:45:23.99
picture of the
Ishtar Gate, you know where
00:45:24.00\00:45:26.44
Babylon is, does
anyone know where Babylon is?
00:45:26.45\00:45:28.16
It's in Iraq; it's in
that area, right? And he was
00:45:29.28\00:45:30.88
dong excavating step
over there and have that
00:45:30.89\00:45:33.15
big Ishtar Gate put
up there and the picture
00:45:33.16\00:45:35.74
of that Ishtar Gate
is like a blue big rock,
00:45:35.75\00:45:38.43
stone gate and only
the outside of the picture
00:45:38.93\00:45:40.91
symbolizing the
kingdom of Babylon right there
00:45:41.32\00:45:43.22
in the day was a
lion with eagle's wings,
00:45:43.23\00:45:45.37
and so I got a
picture of that they had
00:45:45.73\00:45:46.82
National
Geographic, and I use them on my
00:45:46.83\00:45:48.10
slides and think
sometime like that when I'm
00:45:48.11\00:45:49.79
preaching Evangelistic
meetings. You know I've
00:45:49.80\00:45:51.38
realized that most of
you when you are given
00:45:51.39\00:45:52.49
a Bible study you
don't have the slides that
00:45:52.50\00:45:54.21
be able to give
them, all the slides right?
00:45:54.22\00:45:57.29
So you have to build
the few things of your
00:45:57.47\00:45:58.77
heads, so you can
tell hey you know it's
00:45:58.78\00:45:59.95
a National Geographic,
I can show to you some
00:45:59.96\00:46:01.64
time that kind of a
thing, so we know that
00:46:01.65\00:46:05.52
represents Babylon this
lion with eagle's wings,
00:46:05.53\00:46:07.62
it also interesting
that it says that the wings
00:46:07.63\00:46:09.91
were plucked off, it
was lifted up from the earth
00:46:09.92\00:46:11.88
that made to stand up
on the feet like a man
00:46:11.89\00:46:13.63
and a man's
heart was given to him,
00:46:13.80\00:46:15.05
and you know many
scholars and I believe this
00:46:16.25\00:46:18.14
too, and this fits
perfectly the first king of
00:46:18.15\00:46:19.59
Babylon was,
Nebuchadnezzar's that's
00:46:19.60\00:46:22.38
exactly right, and
Nebuchadnezzar's got real
00:46:22.39\00:46:25.10
proud and arrogant,
and he was like a beast,
00:46:25.11\00:46:26.98
I mean there he was
conquering everywhere,
00:46:26.99\00:46:28.26
but all the sudden
you know what happened
00:46:28.27\00:46:29.76
to him, he actually
turned into a beast,
00:46:29.77\00:46:31.90
Daniel chapter 4,
he went out and ate the
00:46:32.14\00:46:33.75
grass in the field and
everything like that for
00:46:33.76\00:46:35.06
how long? Seven
years at the end of seven
00:46:35.07\00:46:37.38
years he's
converted, or you may say man's
00:46:37.39\00:46:40.53
heart was given to
him, he went through
00:46:40.54\00:46:41.97
conversion so does
this one fit Babylon pretty
00:46:41.98\00:46:43.95
good? Absolutely, but
now look at the next one
00:46:43.96\00:46:46.38
we're gonna go to
the next one here in
00:46:46.45\00:46:47.81
chapter 7 and
verse 5, Daniel 7:5
00:46:47.82\00:46:50.60
Medo Persia, we're
gonna look at the Medo Persian
00:46:50.81\00:46:52.78
empire in Daniel
chapter 7 and verse 5,
00:46:52.79\00:46:54.85
I want to tell you
who that represents but
00:46:55.10\00:46:56.39
let's us read it first
and that gonna be read by Tom.
00:46:56.40\00:46:58.61
And suddenly
another beast a second like
00:47:00.70\00:47:03.83
a bear, he was
raised up on one side and
00:47:03.84\00:47:07.95
had three ribs in its
mouth between its teeth
00:47:07.96\00:47:10.99
and they said thus to
it, rise devour much flesh.
00:47:11.97\00:47:16.38
Interesting the
second beast that comes up
00:47:16.80\00:47:18.54
according to,
according to timeline we had
00:47:18.80\00:47:20.51
in Daniel 2 was a
Medo Persian empire.
00:47:20.52\00:47:22.60
Now this bear was
raised up on one side,
00:47:23.06\00:47:25.63
it shows imbalance
of power and you know
00:47:26.75\00:47:28.10
when you get the
Daniel chapter 8,
00:47:28.11\00:47:29.50
Daniel chapter 8,
let's just look at it real
00:47:30.36\00:47:32.27
quick we can, we
can jump over there,
00:47:32.28\00:47:33.43
can't do that, do
we have time? Yeah,
00:47:33.44\00:47:34.97
I think we have
time, let's then just jump
00:47:34.98\00:47:36.14
to Daniel chapter 8
just here let me show
00:47:36.15\00:47:37.40
you some thing,
Daniel 8 and verse 3 it says
00:47:37.41\00:47:40.80
I lifted up my eyes
and saw behold there
00:47:40.81\00:47:42.67
stood before the
river a ram which had
00:47:42.68\00:47:44.60
two horns and one was
higher than the other,
00:47:44.61\00:47:46.28
you know that the
bear was raised up on
00:47:46.73\00:47:47.70
one side, so this
ram one horn was higher
00:47:47.71\00:47:49.91
than the other,
he's actually given this
00:47:49.92\00:47:50.89
symbolism again
and look what it says,
00:47:51.32\00:47:52.97
this ram that
raised, that has one horn
00:47:54.37\00:47:56.33
higher than other,
it says one was higher
00:47:56.34\00:47:58.98
than other and the
other came up last and
00:47:58.99\00:48:00.84
then the ram pushed
west ward, north ward
00:48:00.85\00:48:02.42
and south ward three directions,
00:48:02.43\00:48:03.61
it conquers in
three directions, okay,
00:48:03.62\00:48:05.31
this bear you just
read about, it's raised up
00:48:06.13\00:48:07.97
on one side and it has
three ribs in his mouth,
00:48:07.98\00:48:10.49
now if, if a rib is
in some things mouth,
00:48:10.85\00:48:12.76
what's automatically
told you has happened?
00:48:13.81\00:48:15.08
Somebody has died
right so you have this
00:48:16.03\00:48:17.76
ram and then in
Daniel 8 he conquers in
00:48:17.77\00:48:19.41
three directions
and has one horn higher
00:48:19.42\00:48:20.94
than other who is
this ram? Daniel 8:20,
00:48:20.95\00:48:23.89
the ram which you
saw having the two horns
00:48:24.26\00:48:26.48
are the kings of the
Medes and the Persians,
00:48:26.49\00:48:28.12
so it doesn't lead you
a question like I wonder
00:48:28.73\00:48:30.29
who this is? It tells
you exactly who it is,
00:48:30.30\00:48:32.08
you get it from the
Bible, you find the answer
00:48:32.09\00:48:34.03
from the
scriptures, is that clear?
00:48:34.04\00:48:35.21
And so think about
this bear, raise upon on one
00:48:35.51\00:48:37.41
side, showing
imbalance of power, which
00:48:37.42\00:48:39.63
was stronger the
Medes or the Persians,
00:48:39.64\00:48:41.29
the Persians, I mean
tell you how you never
00:48:42.12\00:48:43.55
forget that, if any
body ever ask you any
00:48:43.56\00:48:45.71
time in history
you know what these two
00:48:45.72\00:48:46.76
people said at to
the loudest because they
00:48:46.77\00:48:48.84
go down to my
church down little one they
00:48:48.85\00:48:49.96
know the memory I
give for them, right?
00:48:49.97\00:48:51.78
And it is similar like
this, the Persians they
00:48:52.74\00:48:55.70
were the stronger
and how you know that
00:48:55.71\00:48:56.84
we have a Persian
golf today don't we?
00:48:56.85\00:48:58.37
We have a Mede in
anything? No and so you
00:48:58.67\00:49:01.14
can remember,
actually remember that don't
00:49:01.15\00:49:02.24
remember that you
never forget from now on
00:49:02.25\00:49:03.68
you never forget,
and I said who was the
00:49:03.69\00:49:05.22
strongest, you
say Persia, right?
00:49:05.23\00:49:06.88
Because you have a
Persian golf that's how
00:49:07.04\00:49:08.39
you remember, and
so they were stronger,
00:49:08.40\00:49:10.27
they come up they
were stronger but then
00:49:10.49\00:49:11.83
it says it had
three ribs in its mouth,
00:49:11.84\00:49:13.77
it is interesting
then when they conquered
00:49:14.01\00:49:16.04
to become that they
had three major campaigns
00:49:16.05\00:49:18.03
then became the war
ruling power the Nero
00:49:18.04\00:49:19.80
Persians did, you
know what the these three
00:49:19.81\00:49:20.86
major campaigns
were? Well, they went out
00:49:20.87\00:49:23.33
to the west and
conquered Babylon and
00:49:23.34\00:49:25.45
then they went
out to the north and
00:49:25.85\00:49:26.94
conquered Libya and
they went to south and
00:49:26.95\00:49:29.19
they conquered Egypt,
they conquered in three
00:49:29.20\00:49:31.18
directions, they
conquered Babylon, Libya
00:49:31.19\00:49:32.72
and Egypt, those
three major campaigns and
00:49:32.73\00:49:34.60
had three ribs in his
mouth, you see what God's
00:49:34.61\00:49:36.17
doing here? God
doesn't want you and I to
00:49:36.18\00:49:38.48
be deceived, I
wonder what this presents,
00:49:38.49\00:49:40.11
He makes it very
clear, He tells us exactly
00:49:40.22\00:49:43.42
what it represents
and now let's go the next
00:49:43.43\00:49:45.10
one here, we just
finished up with that with
00:49:45.11\00:49:46.80
Medo Persia now we
will be looking at the
00:49:46.81\00:49:48.30
next kingdom and
that's in verse 6,
00:49:48.31\00:49:50.16
the next kingdom that
we're gonna be looking
00:49:50.17\00:49:51.30
at is Greece, I'm
way behind my slides here
00:49:51.31\00:49:56.97
with you guys but
the guys in the truck is
00:49:56.98\00:49:59.43
putting the slides
on the screen, they are
00:49:59.44\00:50:00.51
getting it right for
me, alright here we go,
00:50:00.52\00:50:03.24
we are in Greece
Daniel chapter 7 and verse 6
00:50:03.88\00:50:06.89
we are gonna be
looking at the next kingdom,
00:50:06.94\00:50:08.30
just like in Daniel 2,
and now we are looking in
00:50:08.44\00:50:10.55
Daniel 7, the
same order of events,
00:50:10.56\00:50:12.40
Tim I believe you have that one,
00:50:12.60\00:50:13.83
Daniel chapter 7 and verse 6.
00:50:14.12\00:50:15.79
After this I
beheld and lo, another,
00:50:17.22\00:50:19.39
like a leopard,
which had a upon a back,
00:50:19.54\00:50:21.50
on the back four
wings of a fowl, the beast
00:50:22.32\00:50:25.34
had also four heads; and
dominion was given to it.
00:50:25.35\00:50:28.28
Very interesting now
so we know that through
00:50:28.76\00:50:31.21
history that the king
that conquered Medo-Persia
00:50:31.22\00:50:33.86
was Greece, but now
look what's going on here,
00:50:33.87\00:50:36.35
I beheld and lo
another one like a leopard now
00:50:36.36\00:50:38.04
when you think of a
leopard, what do you think
00:50:38.05\00:50:39.43
of? Speed, super fast
right? What do you think
00:50:39.44\00:50:42.74
of a leopard that
has wings? Like I'm not
00:50:42.75\00:50:45.07
going outside, our
little pet alligator we have
00:50:45.08\00:50:47.08
right here we have
at the Life building is
00:50:47.09\00:50:48.88
the one thing, you
know little four feet
00:50:48.89\00:50:49.86
alligator we have out
there but I'm not afraid
00:50:49.87\00:50:51.68
to go outside with
him but if he had wings
00:50:51.69\00:50:53.48
and it was eight
feet long, I would be
00:50:53.63\00:50:55.31
hesitant wouldn't
you? Like so when you
00:50:55.32\00:50:57.00
think of this thing
not only does it have two
00:50:57.01\00:50:58.85
wings but has
four wings representing
00:50:58.86\00:51:01.40
extremely fast a
leopard with four wings,
00:51:01.41\00:51:03.62
right, that's very
fast and very scary to
00:51:04.47\00:51:06.49
out side, doesn't it?
And so the next kingdom
00:51:06.50\00:51:09.81
that we know took over
historically was Greece.
00:51:09.82\00:51:12.83
Now who was the
first king of Greece there,
00:51:12.84\00:51:14.61
the one that took
over, Alexander the Great,
00:51:14.62\00:51:17.57
now it fascinating, I
like reading about him
00:51:17.58\00:51:19.65
a little bit, he
had a really good daddy,
00:51:19.66\00:51:21.13
I know his daddy
was really good because
00:51:21.14\00:51:22.37
his name was
Phillip and I know that any
00:51:22.38\00:51:24.84
by name Phillip must
be pretty good guy and
00:51:24.85\00:51:27.05
so and he trained
his son up in war and
00:51:27.06\00:51:28.96
battle, had a very
good professor teaching how
00:51:28.97\00:51:31.01
to go fight wars and
things like that and at
00:51:31.02\00:51:32.65
sixteen years old
not a like myself,
00:51:32.66\00:51:34.57
Alexander the Great
says, you know I want
00:51:34.58\00:51:35.77
to conquer the
world, I felt, I felt but he
00:51:35.78\00:51:38.27
didn't, by the time
he was like thirty three
00:51:38.28\00:51:40.28
years old he was
weeping because there
00:51:40.29\00:51:42.24
was no body left to
kill, his generals said
00:51:42.25\00:51:44.63
that we don't
want to go any further,
00:51:44.64\00:51:45.62
but he said had
enough, you know we have
00:51:45.63\00:51:47.44
killed enough and
so he goes back and
00:51:47.45\00:51:49.66
historically we don't
know all the facts are
00:51:49.67\00:51:52.05
always they get the
farther we get to this
00:51:52.06\00:51:53.98
side of history the
more the distorted facts
00:51:53.99\00:51:55.66
become right? But
the tradition or the
00:51:55.67\00:51:59.18
historical thing they
put about him was after
00:51:59.19\00:52:01.47
he was just tore up
because there is nobody
00:52:01.48\00:52:02.97
left to kill no body
left to conquer at thirty
00:52:02.98\00:52:04.74
three years old,
now I'm thirty seven now
00:52:04.75\00:52:07.40
and I haven't still
conquered the world but
00:52:07.66\00:52:09.31
I'm trying, trying but
I don't think that this
00:52:09.32\00:52:11.05
is going to happen in
this life time but he did
00:52:11.06\00:52:13.26
it at thirty three and
so he's there and one of
00:52:13.27\00:52:16.26
things is that he
drank himself to death,
00:52:16.27\00:52:18.08
you know he just
started drinking, he had a
00:52:19.04\00:52:21.80
fever or alcoholic
poison or something he
00:52:21.81\00:52:23.59
died at thirty three,
now that is the very quick
00:52:23.60\00:52:26.40
time to be
conquering the world, just start
00:52:26.41\00:52:28.60
at sixteen and done by
thirty three that's very
00:52:28.61\00:52:30.64
fast so you
understand what the leopard
00:52:30.65\00:52:32.12
with the four wings
is a representation of
00:52:32.38\00:52:35.27
the kingdom of Greece
going quickly, but here
00:52:35.28\00:52:38.92
some thing is
interesting, this things had
00:52:38.93\00:52:40.47
four heads, four
heads, you know when
00:52:40.48\00:52:42.77
Alexander the Great
was dying historically
00:52:42.78\00:52:44.46
they said he was
laying down in his death bed
00:52:44.47\00:52:45.80
dying in his, and he
had a little boy that wasn't
00:52:45.81\00:52:47.60
old enough to start
ruling yet and his wife is
00:52:47.61\00:52:50.59
there and says who
do you want to rule in
00:52:50.60\00:52:51.87
your place, and they
say you know his dying
00:52:51.88\00:52:53.85
words were they
think his dying words were
00:52:53.86\00:52:55.29
the strongest and so
can be four generals,
00:52:55.61\00:52:58.78
he said okay, I'm
going to rule, no I'm going
00:52:58.79\00:53:00.48
to rule, I'm going,
I'm stronger than you and
00:53:00.56\00:53:01.82
they started fighting
and the kingdom actually
00:53:01.83\00:53:03.13
gets divided into, the
four king, among the four
00:53:03.14\00:53:05.78
generals, just
like the prophecy says,
00:53:05.79\00:53:07.92
you understand
what God's doing it,
00:53:07.93\00:53:09.30
He's giving us
detail so we won't mistake
00:53:09.58\00:53:11.70
on who He's talking
about, are you following
00:53:11.71\00:53:14.22
that is every body on
the same page with that?
00:53:14.23\00:53:15.85
Alright so now from
there, we are gonna on
00:53:16.42\00:53:18.18
to the next one
because after this one,
00:53:18.19\00:53:20.04
He doesn't have the
zoology name in order
00:53:20.41\00:53:23.16
to give this to next
beast, this way he doesn't
00:53:23.17\00:53:25.31
have the scriptures, he
just say like this thing
00:53:25.32\00:53:27.34
or that thing, he just
says, I can't describe it.
00:53:27.35\00:53:29.00
Daniel chapter 7
and verse 7, Vanessa is
00:53:29.96\00:53:32.07
going to read for
us, and go ahead Vanessa.
00:53:32.08\00:53:33.92
After this I saw the
night visions and behold
00:53:35.16\00:53:38.63
the fourth beast
dreadful and terrible and
00:53:38.64\00:53:42.12
strong exceedingly
strong; and it had great
00:53:42.13\00:53:44.60
iron teeth; it
devoured and break in pieces,
00:53:44.61\00:53:48.48
and stamped the
residue with its feet of it.
00:53:48.77\00:53:51.33
And it was
different from all the beasts
00:53:51.34\00:53:53.77
that were before it;
and it had ten horns.
00:53:53.78\00:53:56.86
Oh I love the
description there, I mean he
00:53:56.87\00:53:58.94
leaves us no room
to doubt, okay who was
00:53:58.95\00:54:00.95
the next kingdom
that rose up after Greece?
00:54:00.96\00:54:03.30
Rome. Rome and you
know that Rome in Daniel
00:54:03.79\00:54:05.37
chapter 2 was
eventually then what?
00:54:05.38\00:54:07.20
Divided, now if you
had two feet on your,
00:54:07.63\00:54:09.62
normal person
with two feet right?
00:54:09.84\00:54:11.36
I know my kids were
first born Kayla I messed
00:54:11.37\00:54:13.93
with my wife and I
said Oh honey looks she
00:54:13.94\00:54:15.62
only has four toes on
one foot, it's like oh no,
00:54:15.63\00:54:17.62
no, no let me see and
I'm not just kidding, right
00:54:17.63\00:54:19.11
she has five on each
foot but no people with
00:54:19.12\00:54:21.52
normal feet are they
have five toes on each and
00:54:21.53\00:54:23.60
that would mean
they would have like the
00:54:23.90\00:54:24.98
symbols of ten
divisions right? Well look here
00:54:24.99\00:54:27.03
what he says right
here on next beast is the
00:54:27.04\00:54:28.70
non descript beast
is one with iron teeth,
00:54:28.71\00:54:31.09
is like the other
beast that Daniel to had the
00:54:31.10\00:54:33.01
legs were made out of
iron this right this beast
00:54:33.28\00:54:35.58
has iron teeth and
it also has ten horns.
00:54:35.59\00:54:38.50
In other word it's
divided up in to ten horns,
00:54:38.73\00:54:40.92
and after these
ten horns are divided,
00:54:42.11\00:54:44.36
we find here that
exactly what happened to Rome.
00:54:44.87\00:54:47.09
Now I know some
people out here today even
00:54:47.25\00:54:48.75
right now on the
internet and all kind of things
00:54:48.76\00:54:50.39
out there by the
way, I have noticed on the
00:54:50.40\00:54:52.47
internet that when I
look at like history,
00:54:52.48\00:54:55.51
looking through like
reading about this in
00:54:55.52\00:54:56.92
history and things
like that I will find
00:54:56.93\00:54:59.31
descriptions like in
dates and things like that
00:54:59.82\00:55:01.76
in old history books
match perfectly with what
00:55:01.90\00:55:03.88
we are going here but
if you go on to internet
00:55:03.89\00:55:05.66
and you are typing
trying to find this thing and
00:55:05.94\00:55:07.88
it's like nothing
matches they have all kinds of
00:55:07.89\00:55:09.53
different dates and
things like ah we refer to
00:55:09.54\00:55:11.31
this we refer to that
and I think I'm discovering
00:55:11.32\00:55:13.29
something, the
devil knows that through
00:55:13.30\00:55:16.66
these prophecy, it
reveals his and what he's
00:55:16.67\00:55:18.87
doing and who the
Antichrist is and he's
00:55:18.88\00:55:21.45
trying to deceive
people, you know a lot of
00:55:21.46\00:55:23.03
time when you study
the study right here,
00:55:23.04\00:55:24.52
you can go to the
internet and find the
00:55:24.71\00:55:25.98
stuff they have out
there because any body
00:55:25.99\00:55:27.50
can put anything on
the internet, are you
00:55:27.51\00:55:28.60
aware of that? Did you
know that not everything
00:55:28.61\00:55:30.40
on the internet was
true? Is that new revelation
00:55:30.41\00:55:32.20
anybody? That
anybody can put something and
00:55:32.21\00:55:34.26
you Google and find
it and so what you are
00:55:34.27\00:55:37.47
doing when you try
to research that stuff
00:55:37.48\00:55:38.92
then you say oh,
you know Babylon ruled
00:55:38.93\00:55:40.57
from 605 to 539 and
then Medo-Persia ruled
00:55:40.58\00:55:43.88
from 539 to 331 and
then Greece was 331 to 168,
00:55:43.89\00:55:48.50
Rome lasted from 168
and it was finally divided
00:55:48.76\00:55:50.94
up in 476, okay,
those were the days we go
00:55:50.95\00:55:54.02
through them
again on the next study
00:55:54.03\00:55:55.11
because we're gonna
have this a little more time
00:55:55.48\00:55:57.58
here on this time
and we then we pick it up
00:55:57.59\00:55:58.77
the next time and so
we say those dating and
00:55:58.78\00:56:01.27
we say that then
some body say oh really
00:56:01.28\00:56:03.03
and then go out and
goggle it and you'll find
00:56:03.15\00:56:04.89
all those dates and
they just be year two off
00:56:04.90\00:56:06.61
here and year two off
there and you know what
00:56:06.62\00:56:09.11
it does that right?
Because it is really a year
00:56:09.12\00:56:11.37
or two off the exact
time what prophecy says
00:56:11.38\00:56:13.48
God gives in the Bible
will not be true will not
00:56:13.49\00:56:15.48
fit, so you have like
basically what a person
00:56:15.49\00:56:18.00
who has nine
characteristics which fits
00:56:18.01\00:56:19.93
Antichrist exactly
but this day doesn't fit
00:56:19.94\00:56:21.87
because I read on the
internet but if you go
00:56:21.88\00:56:24.21
the old books,
history books and things like
00:56:24.22\00:56:26.39
that you will find
that people that was living
00:56:26.40\00:56:27.65
closer to the time
agrees with what we are
00:56:27.66\00:56:29.48
talking about, so
its very dangerous thing
00:56:29.49\00:56:32.06
just to try to get your
self off the hook and say
00:56:32.07\00:56:33.83
well I don't wanna
believe this so I'm going
00:56:33.84\00:56:36.20
go and find
something else on the internet
00:56:36.21\00:56:37.54
that makes my
conscious still clear, you can't
00:56:37.55\00:56:40.29
be doing that and
so when we look here at
00:56:40.30\00:56:41.79
Rome being this last
kingdom here and it's
00:56:41.80\00:56:43.82
divided up into
ten, the original ten,
00:56:43.83\00:56:45.89
and its not in ten
any more, some people
00:56:45.90\00:56:47.68
looking at that say
no, no, Rome weren't in
00:56:47.69\00:56:48.97
ten kingdoms and
specifically speaking of
00:56:48.98\00:56:51.30
the word western
part of the Roman empire
00:56:51.31\00:56:52.61
and that kind of a
thing that's where the
00:56:52.62\00:56:53.59
Antichrist come from
that part of the Roman
00:56:53.60\00:56:54.99
empire and so we
finish up here with the last
00:56:55.00\00:56:58.49
part, with this
fourth kingdom Rome being
00:56:58.50\00:57:00.84
divided up in to the
ten. When we come back
00:57:00.85\00:57:03.35
on the next study we
gonna be looking what
00:57:03.36\00:57:06.04
these ten divisions and
what these ten divisions
00:57:06.05\00:57:07.69
are and then we're
gonna find out that this
00:57:07.70\00:57:09.65
little horn comes up
among those ten divisions
00:57:09.66\00:57:11.56
then we're gonna identify
who that little horn is.
00:57:11.57\00:57:13.79
We're gonna get
the ten identifying
00:57:14.24\00:57:15.40
characteristics of the
little horn and then we're
00:57:15.41\00:57:17.85
gonna open up after
that and go back and see
00:57:17.86\00:57:20.75
and we're gonna plug
in who the Antichrist is,
00:57:20.76\00:57:22.35
I'm just going to
reveal, I'm just come right
00:57:22.36\00:57:23.63
out and say it, and
then we're gonna see if that
00:57:23.64\00:57:26.53
power fits all
the description of the
00:57:27.06\00:57:29.58
Antichrist, does
that make sense to every
00:57:29.59\00:57:31.49
body, pretty clear,
okay, so the next time we
00:57:31.50\00:57:34.03
come back here just a
little bit on the next
00:57:34.04\00:57:36.71
study we're gonna be
looking at the Antichrist
00:57:36.72\00:57:38.34
part two and we're
gonna find out who that's
00:57:38.35\00:57:41.54
character is, so
everybody be more than
00:57:41.55\00:57:43.78
welcome to come back for that.
00:57:44.28\00:57:45.25
