Hello world. Welcome to those of power broadcast. I'm your host Terry Atkins and today we are going to be dig into the book of Revelation once again and were going to be reading from chapter 13 during our study.
From there, not excited today because I believe the chapter 13 is probably one of the most intriguing chapters not only the book of Revelation, but in the entirety of the Scriptures embedded details to us.
What will be the personality and what will be the account of the antichrist, but shall soon come upon this earth to deceive the nations of the world and especially the nations around the Middle East proclaiming himself to be God revealing himself as God and performing signs and wonders under the law.
I of the enemy. Of course this will take place and I believe it's not too far ahead of us but it's important to know what God has unveiled and what he has revealed to us about this man of sin, the son of perdition.
The antichrist were going to begin here were going to study and were going to live in the book of Daniel a little bit and were going to study and see what the Lord has for us today, so I hope you're excited.
If you live or just turning in with us for this study in the book of Revelation. You can pick up all of chapters 1 to employ all the force of power broadcast website voice,.org, or Gary Atkins.org that is guided to be a link there to a podcast in a radio ministry and you can find all of the studies prior to today. In the book of Revelation and therefore, I encourage you to do that. So you can get up to speed. Accountancy will override them over dealing with here in the book of revelations up were excited we would come to chapter 13 chapter 12 closely talk about the personages of chapter 12 the nation of Israel where they stand with God when the stain with the antichrist. We talked about the antichrist little bit how the devil will be kicked out of heaven. That is the spirit world and how he will embody the antichrist and Embassy in Revelation 13. Here I will have what is called the unholy Trinity.
You will have Satan the Antichrist and the false prophet that shall arise and shall push the antichrist and promote him as God's of we will see that in chapter 13 here and we have a lot to study a lot. The Glover's overtime cycle, and have order prior to going get right into a heavenly father, thank you so very much for allowing us to come together once again as the people of God. I hope we just ask you to bombard us with your anointing open up our hearts to receive the word of God, that we may stay in the poem the truth that you hold your word above your name and that you walk Jehovah Scheiber are provided to you are Jehovah LA on the supreme God you are Jehovah's signature to view all our righteousness and we are the righteousness of God in and through the Lord Jesus Christ and we just lift him up as Savior and Lord.

Let's go to Revelation chapter 13 often installed verse one. Now, whereas Revelation chapter 12 revealed Satan's control in conflict with the main child and Israel. We saw that in chapter 12. Revelation 13 tells us of the methods that Satan uses to further his plan. Revelation 13 does not develop the chronological order of the book of big River is an interlude, giving detailed information about the methods which Satan uses in the entire it is here that we are introduced to the unholy Trinity is Trinity of evil is an imitation of the holy Trinity was to imitate everything that God does is an imitator yet he cannot live up to the power or the perfection over them support my job. I am the holy Trinity, the first person of the Godhead is God the father. His invitation is seen in the great red dragon who was Satan resulted Revelation 12 in verse nine, the second person of the alternative growth is the Lord Jesus Christ and his imitation is the first beast of Revelation 13. Who is the antichrist will be reading about him.
The third person of the holy Trinity and the Holy Spirit. Of course, is the Holy Spirit is imitation is the unholy Trinity and the second beast of Revelation 13 was the also known as the false prophet who will push in and promote the antichrist in this unholy counterfeit ladies and gentlemen of the trip. Today we see Satan's last and greatest effort to deceive the people of their on most of them will be deceived during the tribulation. Speaking of antichrist.
Second Thessalonians chapter 2 verses nine through 10. The quietest even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all of the sinfulness of unrighteousness in them that perish because they receive nothing.
Love of the truth that they might be saved.
This unholy Trinity is the greatest conspiracy ever in the major portion of humanity is slowly slipped along with that, ladies and gentlemen I want us to take, eat, that we get out here in the first thing the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the force of the archangel and the trumpet of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first and will be my friend, who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to so shall we ever be with the Lord. That is my hope and holy comforter with those words today.
Let us go to Revelation 13. Let's look at verses one through six shallow universe one and I stood upon the sand of the city and Celebes to rise up out of the city, having seven heads and 10 horns, and upon his horns 10 crowns upon his heads the name of blasphemy and the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet whereas the feet of a bear in his mouth as the mouth of the lion in Detroit and gave him his power and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of the heads, others were wounded to death and his delivery was healed and whole the roles funded after the beast they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast, and they worshiped the beast, the same who is like unto the beast who was able to make well with it that was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and power was given unto him to continue 40 and two months or 3 1/2 year and he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, and for them that dwell in heaven now, I want you to notice the beast out of the sea refer to hear in this passage the apostle John then describes the beast for us the following words and he said the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard speed was the feet of a bear's mouth as the mouth of a lion and the dragon gave him his power and his seat, and great authority. That's in verse two.
This verse gives a further description of the coming kingdom and its ruler during the tribulation description of this beast is a composite of the characteristics of the beast mentioned back in Daniel chapter 7 and I would encourage you to get a moment to go back and read Daniel chapter 7 and eight and chapters 11 and 12. We can do it here for time sake were going to make some references there, but if you get a good understanding of that of those four chapters, you can really stay along with us and have a good understanding of what we're studying Bev the first three kingdoms are characterized as lion bear and a leopard. Let's were these animals are depicted in reveille's management. Daniel chapter 7. These animals represented the kingdoms of Babylon Medo Persia the kingdom of Greece and Alexander the great and the characteristics of these kingdoms are combined in the last kingdom which will be the team kingdom by now the Empire Daniel chapter 7, was seen as an describable because it was diverse from all the beasts that were before this, in part, as seen in Revelation 13 will have the brilliance culture and swiftness of a leopard reference to the previous Michigan bar under Alexander the great. It will also have the tremendous strength the tenacity of purpose and brutality of a bear reference to the Medo Persian bar then tools will have the autocratic and majestic power of the lion. A reference of goals to the Babylonian Empire. This composite notice of this composite monster has great power because the dragon gave him his power on his seat, his throne and he had great authority.
According to Brewster because the Dragon of course is Satan himself and him. And speaking of antichrist. The apostle Paul told us that he was one whose coming is after the working of Satan with our power and signs and lying wonders in the beast has reference to the rise of the kingdom, and particularly the antichrist because the earthly head of this kingdom is both written by Satan embodied in the antichrist was also symbolized by the beast is a supernatural spirit coming out of the abyss beast are sometimes used in Scripture as symbols for kingdoms or kings, we see that in the book of Bengal. Quite often, and also for the controlling of supernatural powers of the kingdoms of course the beast is an allegory of the antichrist rising to power embodied by the Dragon which is Satan himself, and he is carrying about in unholy unwanted unholy presence unholy goals and signs and members are being done by discrete beast coldly antichrist now the big question is a big debate is is of course the nationality of the antichrist will he beat where will he come and go throughout the ages of time we have seen people are called the Pope antichrist.
We have seen people call the office of antichrist and install them and others that have set event that fit the description of this man of sin and the son of perdition, but cannot tell you that those men did not do not compare in comparison to this beastly antichrist that shall rise in the last day to make an attempt to destroy God's people, and to destroy the kingdom of God understand that of course is much interest in the speculation as to the identity of the antichrist.
In many infamous political leaders of the past have been felt to be the antichrist. This unfounded speculation closes been harmful as many people have become skeptical of prophecy and the positive identity of the antichrist will not be made until P personally makes a covenant with Israel for seven years and I verse 27 when he makes that covenant with his right after the rapture of the church. That's when the world will know who the antichrist is maybe listening to this in the picture has taken place. Understand the antichrist is the man who signs a covenant with the nation of Israel to bring peace to that area of the world for seven years venture assigned to know who he is, that will bring him to political power and bring him to the position of the last days to fulfill this role has the antichrist.
What we cannot know in advance and he will be there are of course indications regarding the area from which he will come and there are two versions that cover the Gentile world Powers from Daniels dating to the second coming of Christ. In Daniel chapter 2 in chapter 7 the image in Daniel chapter 2 in verse 3235 and 38 with the head of gold in the head of gold, along with the lion symbolize Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom in the middle.
Persia supplied symbolized by the breast and the arms of silver on the image of Daniel chapter 2.
That's why it's very important that you should go back and read just read the book of Daniel, but especially chapters to chapters 7 and eight, 11, 12, that will help you in understanding this this son of perdition the antichrist in further detail is false is workable come from.
And of course the Grisham Barb Alexander the great, followed by the middle Persian kingdom and the time of the Gentiles in the symbolized by the belly and thighs of brass and the leopard in the old Roman Empire follows the Grisham Barb of course they overran the four generals that came from Alexander the great that ruled the Grisham barnacle smoking pot took over and was in power when Christ was born while he lived and performed his ministry on earth and was crucified across all Roman calls so that makes up the four divisions of Gentile willpower symbolized a reference to in the book of Daniel and symbolized by the legs of iron on the image that of course is going to be the the revised Roman Empire of the time of tribulation now continues the persecution of Israel. That's what's going on today and will go on time of tribulation, persecution of Israel of God's people under the rulership of antichrist will be 10 kings who will head to separate governments from 10 separate capital cities inside the Roman Empire in the days of the second coming of Christ. They are symbolized by the feet and toes of iron and clay on the image and the 10 horns on the nondescript beach know that what I'm referring to here are seen in the book of Daniel. Daniel has a vision of of of a statue of course, the head of gold represented Babylon the chest and arms of silver represented leader Persian Empire that took over Babylon. Of course, I've been the yeah the belly and thighs of brass represented the Grecian Empire under Alexander the great, which overran Medo Persian Empire and was course, Alexander the great conquered the known world at the time, which was his goal and of course from the land of the Roman Empire took over them up until the days of the birth of Christ, but also with admission that he had on that statute were 10 totes and the 10 toes of clay and I am represents the revised Roman Empire that will come during the time of tribulation okay and what that means is that simply the be the nations of the old Roman Empire better represented and depicted day will be revived in the time of tribulation. These 10 kingdoms. They could be 10 nations were talking about nations all around the Mediterranean Sea. There's Syria, there's Egypt, there's Iran, there's Iraq. The reason Jordan there is turkey there was Germany. There is the United Kingdom. There is utility there is, of course, Rome was in Italy there is Africa belaboring this area as well. Could all be a part of this team.
Patient kingdom that the antichrist rallies together around himself, and they of course agreed to his government policies and his religion and his economic status and situation and ideals and ideology that they submit to his authority in the come up under his umbrella of authority of government and of course further explains that he seduced three of those kingdoms were more good and that in just a moment by coming to an understanding of what I'm referring to a Daniel also with that image of start that statute that he had the vision of he also had a vision of four beasts that represent the same thing other words, the vision of the of the lien was Babylon vision of the buyer was Medo Persia.
The vision of the leopard represented the Grecian Empire under Alexander the great mentor was the fourth beast that he saw which had 10 horns, and there was a little horn that came up under 10 horns which represent the antichrist and it says that he subdues three of those horns which are three kingdoms and three of the 10 kingdoms that he gathers under his umbrella.
He actually takes those kingdoms over I don't have a president or leader or prime minister. He takes those three kingdoms over up under his wing and the other seven.
Of course are just submitting to his authority in a government aspect. If it makes any sense. So you will be 10 kings who will be who had 10 separate governments of the said before, and it will because it will be called the revised Roman empire and they will be formed inside the old Roman territory which are some of the countries that I've just in missions that I have dictated. There will be 10 kingdoms instead of one Empire and it will not be revived Roman Empire to some teach, but rather dangle saw a little horn growing out of the 10 horns of Daniel chapter 7 that I just referred you to in this form picked up three of the horns, which is what I told you, and then the kingdoms from famous day all Norquist by warming opposer grease the old Roman Empire and it is stated in Daniel chapter 7 verses 23 and 24 that the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon the earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms and the 10 horns out of their kingdom are 10 kings that shall rise now for the 10 kings will be committed to the antichrist and the other six will also agree to give their power to this little horn and this little horn arises after the 10 kingdoms already in existence.
And this is all future folks, we have to understand that amending the vision in Daniel chapter 8, we see a symbolic ram and a he goat the rambling proposing that he group symbolizing the Grecian Empire. The he goat has his horn broke off and displacement fluid horns. This relates to the death of Alexander the great, of course, are found in the Grecian Empire and after his death. The man fell generals took over and any study of ancient history will will refill the division of Greece after Alexander the great in each one of his fellow generals took and ruled one area. Cassandra believed to Greece in Macedon and less noticeably got Asia minor and which is presently turkey and siliceous room.
Syria and Babylon and Ptolemy of course strategic base for the visions on today's Greece, Turkey, Syria and Egypt. So today modern-day. Those four divisions from Alexander the great are our Greece, Turkey, Syria and Egypt. Modern-day the antichrist. The little one will come out of one of these four horns. In other words, the antichrist will come from either Greece, Turkey, Syria and Egypt. I'm going to tell you which liability for just a moment, but just helping understand what I'm saying I'm saying is hot and I'm trying to I'm trying to go over Daniel without actually reading all the passages for time sake. That's why want you to go back and read for yourself once again I would refer you to thing the jump to chapter 7 of eight chapters 11 and 12 will help you also. Chapter 9 will also help you understand what I'm saying to you because Daniel has a vision of all these empires of the world will see course once again you belong. The bubbling apartment I took over the nation of Israel divided kingdom in 586 BC under King Nebuchadnezzar and we can read about him in the book of Daniel as well is the one who threw the shot recognition recommended on the fiery furnace because they would bow down to them and so forth. In chapter 5 Medo Persians take over Babylon and Medo Persian Empire course ruled and allowed the Jews to to go back to Jerusalem and rebuild their temple rebuilder walls under Ezra Nehemiah and then of course the Grecian Empire and Alexander the great, he was trying to conquer the world and of course he died very young. While he was trying to do that and his four generals took over these areas, which I just explained to you and of course from backing the Roman Empire, the took over the known world, and was in power during the time of Jesus Christ and even after Jesus Christ and persecuted many Christians and the apostles and even John the regulator they put him here in the house of Patmos where he is giving us this depiction, even now this kinda trying to help you understand the empires of the world and how that there still one yet to come. According to Daniel, which is the revived Roman Empire will recruit some called the revised Roman Empire that will arise during the time of tribulation, which will be the 10 toes of the statue of Daniel and it will be the fourth beast that he saw which had 10 horns.
Okay, so I'm not trying to refer me to have courses that that with these next 10 horns.
We see, of course, divisions, and we also see how the antichrist will bring them under his umbrella. Now the purpose of Daniel chapter 7 and chapter 8 is to narrow the geographical boundaries of the coming of the antichrist and according to Daniel and he will come from Greece, Turkey, Syria or Egypt and not from the Vatican or Italy or Germany or Russia as some others teach and and and and but the Bible very clearly tells us in Bengal. Chapter 7 that these fellow divisions will be the main area that we need to concentrate but when you study and read out Daniel chapter 11 it gives us a vision of wills between two of the four concerned areas of the Grecian Empire, Syria and Egypt and these floors covered approximately hundred 15 years and ended with the reign of Antiochus epiphanies, who ruled about 165 BC reference is made to the end time picturing ruler between Syria and Egypt and Syria. Of course, is the king of the North referred to in Daniel chapter 11 in this vision, and Egypt is called the King of the South. Now this is my opinion Daniel chapter 11 versus 36 and 45 identifies the antichrist as the king of the North, which is Syria.
The king of the North.
The little horn of Daniel chapter 7 in Daniel chapter 8, the little horn is the prince that shall come okay and he will come from both. According to Bangor chapter 11 which is modern-day Syria and that is the opinion that I hold. I believe that the antichrist will come from Syria, which is today. Directly north the nation of Israel and if you can see in the headlines in the news today. You see what's going on in Syria how that evil dictator has killed his own people he has and he fits my legs gently fits the description of this manna for this. I'm not saying he's the antichrist don't know I don't. But I don't know what I'm saying is that he fits it in the backcountry and their ideology and the beliefs they fit of the methodology of the antichrist and the way he will carry out his ruling and Tara upon the earth, not just giving you an opinion here this not public. According to my studies in Daniel chapter 11 tells us that he this little horn of Daniel seven and eight, which shall arise from the 10 horns of the fourth beast will come from the north, which is I believe, representing Syria.
That's where the antichrist will come in course of the 10 horns. He subdues three of the horns and other words, he takes them over completely, as I just told you before, now that there's 10 kingdoms around the Mediterranean Sea, which is the old Roman Empire that will come under his authority and under his umbrella that he will subdue in this last date.
Of course it could be a number of times countries around the Mediterranean Sea around Europe and Africa.
In Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan stretches even that fall the old Roman Empire silk. We have to keep that in mind as well. But three of those 10 kingdoms referred to in Daniel and Revelation here will be subdued by the antichrist not believe those three in my opinion will be number one Syria because that's where he will come from number two.
I believe it will be Iraq because of bloggers nation of Israel. Number three I believe it will be Saudi Arabia. I believe those three during the nation of Israel, of course, will be. That's what he will have to try to drive his ruling to the ocean and driving into the Mediterranean Sea and drive them off the globe as some leaders in the past have a desire to do and have expressed that very strongly. I believe that will be the three that he conquers now. It did not want to give us a speculation.
This is just my opinion is doing it to you based off the Scriptures. Based on what I believe, will take place in this day and in this hour during the time of tribulation that will chapter 9 verse 26 to 27: the antichrist, the son of perdition, the man of sin is also referred to and of course the beast in Revelation 13, all refer to the antichrist and other characteristics. All correspondence and we conclude that the many references involved pertaining to the antichrist who will eventually come from Syria which I have expressed to you. In my opinion, and antichrist will be a real person. He will have outstanding natural gifts and attract much interest and response. Even though the person of the antichrist is not yet appeared on the same the spirit of the antichrist has John reminded Christians of this date is of little children, it is the last time she had heard the antichrist shall come, even now, all the antichrist whereby we know that it is the last time let's first John 218, and recorded in the same chapter is the sobering statement is a liar but he that life that Jesus is the Christ, he is antichrist that deny us the father and the son and the apostle John emphasized that the spirit of the antichrist was present even in his day, when he wrote in every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God. This is the spirit of the antichrist where you have heard that it should come now.
Already use in the world its first nonfederal and three. In our study of the book of Revelation we have seen that activities of Antichrist, since Revelation chapter 6 member the seven civil judgments for some of the apocalypse depicting the antichrist and his terror upon the nation of Israel in the Middle East of the time of tribulation. Now he is described to us as the first beast of Revelation, the antichrist will not become problems in the world affairs until the formation of the 10 kingdoms will arise in attaining the whole 10 in the first half of the great tribulation, and he will be recognize as the beast of Revelation 13. By the middle of the week. You become out of seclusion and will rise to power very quickly. My friend, he will rise very quickly. We have to keep in mind that the antichrist will sign the treaty with the nation of Israel for seven years that will institute the seven years of tribulation of the time of Jacob's trouble, also referred to as the Daniel's 70th week from Daniel chapter 9 that's the seven years of tribulation, which will come after the rapture of the church after the antichrist signs his covenant, his peace treaty with the nation of Israel, and he will of course set up his headquarters.
I believe in Syria and during the first 3 1/2 years he will subdue 10 kingdoms around the Mediterranean Sea, which will make up the old Roman Empire and it will reply below Roman Empire. During this time and he will subdue and conquer. Three of those kingdoms or three of those nations and of course I believe the three will be Syria from where he's from Iraq and also Saudi Arabia three surrounding the nation of Israel there. As you can see only globe or any map public that's three that he will subdue now we have to remember that there's going to be many rules the antichrist will be a man of will, he will be a military genius. I believe that the battle of Gog and Magog of Ezekiel chapter 38 and 39 when the Bible says that Russia and other countries such as Libya and and and and other countries around the Mediterranean Sea from Europe will gather together the coalition and will come against the nation of Israel, and God says I will put hooks in their shawls and I will protect my people and the Bible says that Ezekiel 39 that he sends fire down and destroys the country of the soldiers that come from Russia and Libya, and in these surrounding areas of Israel and he does it with fire knowledge and understand something when this happens I believe this battle will take place right after he signs this right before he signs the peace treaty right after the rapture of the church.
I believe that represents the four via the red horse of the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse of Revelation chapter 6, I believe that was because the Bible says that the battle of Gog and Magog of Ezekiel 38 and 39. It will take seven years to bury the dead body.
Nothing about that.
Probably devil take place during the time of tribulation and but I believe that the antichrist will take credit for that battle believe you will. I believe he will say that I played. I sought God and he answered with fire because member.
The Bible says he performs signs and lying wonders, and will read in Revelation 13. Here how that the beast will calls fire to come from heaven. It says that I believe you will take credit for what God did in protecting his people from Russia and the other surrounding countries coming against the nation of Israel. And that's how the people of the world, along with the rapture taking place. That's all. The antichrist will rise to power it will say I did this and militarily.
He will say that he conquered Russia and the surrounding countries that came against Israel, and fire came down and he will claim to have played for that and called for that. And of course the masses will be deceived rightly in the Bible says that the very elect would suit that's my opinion on how that will play out others. Many opinions on how battle of Gog and Magog will come when it will come, and public. That's how it will play out as far as the antichrist rising to power and will also be wars during the first 3 1/2 years of tribulation because the antichrist will subdue these 10 kingdoms artist Mark Melissa Hayward in Internet marketing is going to subdue them somehow I wish you would do it militarily. I believe he will stroll on these technicians to come up under his umbrella. And of course the three that I mentioned to Syria, from which the antichrist comes Iraq and Saudi Arabia will subdue and control them completely under his authority and of course the other seven were to submit with their government and their power to him and their allegiance to him now let us talk about some titles of the antichrist first understand there are many titles given to him in the Scriptures at least 20 and number. Some are given below are examples such as King of Babylon of Isaiah 14 for the little horn of Daniel seven and eight became the first countenance. Daniel 23 Daniel 926 causing the prince that shall come. Daniel 11 verse 36 says he is the willful King second Thessalonians chapter 2 verses three through eight calls and the man of sin, the son of perdition, that wicked one.
In turn causing the antichrist and Revelation here were reading about him and break it.
Revelation calls him the priest is the beast. Although the titles given to him heat of the moment Harris by the apostle Paul in second Thessalonians 2 and three.
The man of sin is the most descriptive.
I believe because as the man of sin. He will come on the scene the last days is the embodiment of all the sinful men who have ever lived in second Thessalonians 2 before it offers an appropriate description of his conduct repose with an executive. Several of all that is called God, and that is worship so that he is God city from the temple of God, showing himself that he is God and I believe this at the midpoint of tribulation right before the seven vile judgment upon the earth. All the chaos that is taking place upon the earth during the first 3 1/2 years where's the famines all about the confusion that is the earth are cataclysmic events. Astronauts falling from the star, people are dying there's nerves. There's there's there's wickedness surrounding the nations of the world in the antichrist at the midpoint of tribulation. He breaks that treaty with the nation of Israel sets himself up in the temple of God, the rebuilt temple in Israel and he calls himself God and demands that he be worshiped and if he's not worshiping the modern he will kill all those who refuse to worship him now want us to see some contrast between Jesus Christ and antichrist.
How he's trying to imitate our Lord Christ came from above antichrist will assume from the pit. Christ came in his father's name. The antichrist will come in his own name Christ humbles himself the antichrist will exalt himself. Christ was despised, and antichrist will be admired. Christ will be exalted.
The antichrist will be cast down to hail Christ came to do his father's will be antichrist came to do his own will.
Christ came to save the antichrist will come to destroy Christ as the good Shepherd. The antichrist is not the evil Shepherd. Christ is the true vine. The antichrist is the vine of the earth. Christ is the truth. Antichrist is the lot. Christ is the holy one. The antichrist is the lawless one Christ is the man of sorrows. The antichrist is the man of sin, the Christ we serve as the son of God. The antichrist is the son of perdition. Christ is the mystery of godliness God manifest in the flesh of antichrist will be the mystery of iniquity. Satan manifest in the flesh to talk to about his rise to power is already seen in Revelation 6 and verse two.
The antichrist will come on the scene and a lot of times and assume power by stealth convincing world leaders of the idea that he can offer peace and by gaining enough support from each of the 10 kingdoms or omissions of the earth and eventually he will end up with control of all of this method of diplomacy is confirmed by an examination of Daniel chapter 8 and verse 25 it says through his policy. Also, he will calls deceit to prosper in his hand and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many, he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes, but he shall be broken without hand. I was talk about his government government of antichrist. This government is predicted in the image of Nebuchadnezzar and Jen Daniel chapter 2.
The 10 toes of the image represent an amalgamation of the 10 kings of the dominance of the antichrist which we've already discussed now in Revelation chapter 17. Down the road. It reveals that the kings of the earth will finally come to the conclusion that they are not capable of governing themselves in peace with other nations. Thus, they shall give their power and strength unto the beast. This is how he will conquer the nations of the world. Eventually, I believe, because they will not be able to do anything because of the deception of antichrist bringing kingdoms under his wing and under the umbrella of his government.
The antichrist will also dominate the economy when Revelation 17 verse 13 states that the kings of the earth shall give their power unto the beast.
This means not only their armies but also their economic power. Such an economy has been suggested already in the European common market is still in its infancy because of economic necessity, it could quickly spread throughout the entire world will eventually come to become the type of instrument used by the antichrist to control the monetary and financial affairs and think about how easy it would be for a world leader to control the economy digitally we see had already taken place I can get on sites such as eBay and buy and sell and trade around the thing called PayPal. Just think how easy the antichrist could set this thing up. I knew could have a one world economic system very quickly knew it was already developing this and then of course it could spread throughout the world.
I believe eventually it will end the rise in the dominance of antichrist. The antichrist will have an atheistic region. The religion antichrist appears in several places in Scripture, primarily bangle Chapter 11 in second Thessalonians chapter 10 of these passages teach that the antichrist will exalt himself above all that is called God, and that is worship so that he has God set up in the temple of God, showing himself that he's got this evil. Personages will be a master of deceit even in the religious realm. I have heard people say that they believe he will be an Islamic leader's unbelievably Catholic leader some believable be a Christian leader. Some believe he will be an economical leader. I believe he will lean more toward the medical leadership because I believe people are not only being a person of Islamic faith, but I believe he will be a person of Jewish faith and Christianity over them to want and he will try to cause an economical movement to spread around the world and you want everybody to hold hands and join hands, but he generally heart. You see, that's all he will will deceive the people we see that date we see people saying that all religions point to God and that they all hate to one place and that is to the original creative humanity. God himself, but my friend that is a deception of the antichrist that is a deception saying that Jesus Christ is not that Jesus Christ is not God the father, God the son God the Holy Spirit melatonin the voice of power ministries and Gary Aiken's ministries. We stand upon the fact that Jesus Christ is Lord and that Jesus Christ is the only way the only truth of the holy life and the only way to which men concede the father is through Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I believe that Jesus Christ was God. I believe that Jesus Christ is God. I believe that Jesus Christ will raise God in his presence and his power through his Spirit abide in us and we can be called the righteousness of God in him. Hallelujah to God forever and just think, ladies and gentlemen he's going to use this antichrist in order to fulfill his ultimate purpose upon the earth that excites me greatly since then his covenant with his right. Daniel chapter 9 verse 27 indicated that he will make a covenant with Israel for seven years, which as we have already seen will be broken in the middle of the tribulation when it suits his purpose on this cover for listserv to keep the children of Israel from seeking God. Just as they looked to Egypt in the Old Testament but will look for help and alliance to the antichrist for the first 3 1/2 years of tribulation Dallas with his death and resurrection. Several of his heads. Revelation 13 three as though it were wounded to death, and his deadly wound was healed. In all the world wondered after the beast. This is referring to the following resurrection of the Grecian kingdom is symbolized by the little horn will be dealt with in detail when we study Revelation chapter 17. Donald believe that he will be shot and killed like some teach. I believe that this is referring more politically. I believe that the kingdoms of those 10 kingdoms are perhaps one of the three that he's already subdued under his complete control of moving wounded made perhaps never been bombed or perhaps that will be attacked by another nation. Perhaps will ever break out of that country. I believe that it will be devastating.
And I believe it will be destroyed, but the antichrist somehow lies in line wonderfully resurrect this kingdom will resurrect the smell of his 10 horns will resurrect I'm going to life again politically and economically and that will just more or less deceive the lessons because he brings with revival to this nation after is been devastated. That's my opinion. Some believe that the antichrist will be killed, but I was referring to his head. It's his actual physical hidden that maybe he's assassinated and resurrected.
That could be. I don't think that's exactly what will happen. I believe it will be more politically because it will impact the whole world in a greater way. That way, I believe that the ultimate destruction of antichrist.
Second Thessalonians 2 mostly declares I've been sober can one be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. This destruction of Satan. While world is coming is graphically described in Revelation chapter 19 verses 11 through 20 at the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and Christ will destroy Satan and his armies all at one time, and will cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone and he will be there forever. Now that's looking Revelation 14 in verse seven. I will read through verse 10 statement was given unto him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and the power was given him over all kindreds time was English and I know that the polygraph shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of oil and have a lot in here through into captivity shall go into captivity to kill up with the sword must be killed with the sword of Hebrews.
The patients in the faith of the saints out of the extent of antichrist rain will be remarkable. This portion of Scripture speaks of the antichrist making little on the saints and of his power over all kindreds, tongues, and nations. The extent of antichrist rain. I ask you where this depends on the usage of the word in this passage if it means almost inclusive, since it will involve every individual, but if it is taken to mean although God has in mind as far as the decree is concerned that it would basically involve the 10 kingdoms of the rule of the figure of speech involving the usage of the word in chapter 13. Here is is is a play on words because it is where a part is put in for a whole way home for part that makes sense. There are many examples in the Scriptures of this usage in Genesis chapter 6 in verse 17 we read where all flesh and everything with the breath of life was going to die. However no one and his family, as well as all the animals in the ark were exempted so it was in Ireland and although, as is literalism, but it was all in, as it would affect if that makes sense when Jericho was destroyed. It is said that but who destroyed all that was in the city, but of course we know that we have and how people were spared, so wasn't as far as individuals second Samuel chapter 6 is the evening over the house of Israel played before the Lord. Now when I brought up the ark and obviously every individual did not know how to play an instrument, and many were too young to do so and not all of that place of God speaks of Israel in first Kings chapter 12 it means that part of Israel, which rebelled against Rehoboam did not. Not every individual, but part of Israel. So when John was baptizing in the river Jordan. It says that all Judea and the region round about Dylan was baptized of him now. There were many who did not respond.
Sitting in such as the Pharisees and the Sadducees, so doesn't purpose or doesn't propose that that every individual responded and was baptized by John the Baptist, Caesar Augustus, Luke, chapter 2 is another example. He declared that all of the real world should be taxed to know that this did not affect many countries outside of his empire. The all must be understood in relationship to the old Roman Empire that was under Caesar Augustus's own view of these instances, we see that sometimes the road is used only to include those individuals or vent group for which purpose it was intended and does not include everyone or everything everywhere. There are hundreds of examples that demonstrate this and would not believe that relation 13 expressly means that the antichrist of the future will literally worrying over all the earth and kill everything that does not take the mark just as many of the examples given pertain to a particular region or area bistro applies to those involved in a definite area so that we can conclude is that the actual extent of the antichrist kingdom and worrying must be limited to a certain part of the but just as the actions of a dispatch like Hitler had influenced over the Herero removal to the actions of a country like Russia have a far-reaching effect. So to move the antichrist have great influence now understand what I'm saying and I do believe in saying all the text is not referring to each individual like in America or South America or Canada. I believe it. This is referring to within the region of the team kingdom coalition of the antichrist. Since I believe the greatest effect because you remember the Bible calls us the time of Jacob's trouble. When Jesus was talking about the signs that would precede his second coming in in Matthew chapter 24 in the Olivet discourse with disability, where rooms of those earthquakes, in divers places. Of course that affects the whole world, but it's mainly referring to the nation of Israel. And that's what Revelation 13 is is referring to the time of Jacob's trouble.
I believe all these things will have its greatest effect in its greatest impact right here in the nation of Israel and the surrounding countries that will come up under the umbrella of antichrist is not to say that the antichrist and his reign in his tyrant will not affect the whole world. I believe it will impact the world greatly. However, I believe the main emphasis in the main part of the judgment of God will be poured out upon the nation of Israel and the surrounding old Roman Empire of that area around the Mediterranean Sea alternators and the beast had seven heads and 10 hold up only to hold the crowns.
This involves 10 kings and the number specific when the word always used here it is speaking of the whole matter being discussed in the text in the Bible is not contradicting itself.
It must be understood that the 10 kingdoms all in the area around the Mediterranean Sea because in Bangor, Chapter 11, refer to verses 40 through 45 is found when the Antichrist comes to power and breaks the seven year covenant with the Jews terms Israel in the middle of the seven years he is given power over those 10 kingdoms. Those 10 kingdoms will include Greece, Italy, Israel, Egypt, Syria, and the other surrounding the Mediterranean Sea of antichrist will actually come from Syria and I have given that opinion of mine several times a smartass and he will make a realtor to clean it up must worship him in the Bible says that many countries in Daniel chapter 9 verse 31 shall be overthrown and doesn't say that all countries shall be overthrown lab and the chief of the tribe of payment will escape the antichrist of a bullet right next to his kingdoms are not every country around the Middle East. There will be taken control of antichrist but, of course, several will we know that exactly team will what is not sure which one it is conceivable thing that other countries across the vast ocean and those inhabiting islands of the season of the parts of the world would escape attempt, at least to some it appears evident that from Scripture that he will not rain exclusively over every single individual in the entire world. The main part of the nation of Israel and Judah were fleeing from the Antichrist when he breaks his cabinet in the middle of the tribulation.
We talked about that in chapter 12 that it will flee to the mountains and that will be preserved and protected by the power of God and the Bible says they will flee to a place of protection is prepared in that area for them and they are protected from the antichrist. During this time the antichrist will conquer many countries of the Bible says how to live in Bengal. Chapter 11 of the fifth tidings out of the East and the North will trouble him and he will go forth with fury to destroy him to stand against him better opposing him of Zechariah the prophet, in his book teaches that many people within the Empire of antichrist, as well as those outside of it will not take the mark of the beast and steel will not be killed.
In other words, everybody doesn't take the mark will be killed, as in every individual, but as a whole is the text is describing. In other words, there will be people hiding there will be people escaping the antichrist even close to him. So around the world. There will be people not taking the mark in your course will be moderate. However, they will still have to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior in order to be of course a totally separate from the lake of fire and spend eternity with God is not exempting them from land is just trying to help you understand that this will not have an effect upon the whole, there's not going to be as it is a greater effect in Hawaii as there is in Jordan. If it makes it the greatest impact. The antichrist will have the Middle East are not the whole world that's that's the point I'm trying to get across to us. Zechariah also speaks of a battle between the Jews of Jerusalem and many nations and of antichrist. In Zechariah chapter 14 it goes on to state that it will come to pass that everyone that is left, I noticed a comment that is left of all the nations that come against Jerusalem shall go up from year to you to worship the King below hopes to keep the feast of the town. If everybody were worshiping the antichrist, they would be destroyed and could not understand that Egypt is going to be taken over by the antichrist. According to Dana Chapter 11, but they will be moving in that mission, that will not take the mark of the beast and will not be killed in the Bible plainly says that everybody that takes the mark of the beast is going to be damned to hell.
It does say that but there will be those in Egypt. Walmart and having escaped death will go into the and this will be true of other nations will be antichrist will formulate 11 in his 10 kingdoms must take the mark and worship him. However, rule with the countries of the Northeast will keep him occupied and prevent the enforcement of this decree will be real going on this whole time during the seven years we all will and 1/2 and concentrate on the Bible vomited in the battle of Armageddon will be the culmination of all this. However, there will be meeting with those taken place during the time of tribulation, the antichrist being a political genius will be so caught up in his world and try to conquer all the kingdoms in countries around the stent around the barrel that the ladies and gentlemen country surrounding the antichrist like Egypt that will not succumb to the mark of the beast will not accept it and all that they will live until the time of the millennial reign they will go right into the millennial ring of Christ upon this earth now and that was because that boo-boos are souls, those are people who can bring them to the Jesus Christ.
During this time not doing this time. Hopefully going to Jesus Christ when he is king over all the world during the millennium. Now you have to remember, even during the time of the millennial reign people have free will.
People who are left after undergoing the rapture, who were not monitored for accepting Christ during the time of tribulation. Most people continue to move into the millennial kingdom will have to accept Jesus Christ so there will be preaching and teaching going on during the millennial reign. Of course, Satan is bound for that thousand years or so, so he will not be allowed to tempt and try people upon this earth. Bible says that he will be loosed after the thousand euros for short season to do so and will get more into bed.
In Revelation chapters 20 but this concludes things in mind we can have the mindset that everybody doesn't take the mark of the beast will be killed during the time of tribulation a good chance you might be killed if you don't like the mark of the basin water. But there's going to be a lot of people that told him it will go into the millennial kingdom and live there. Hopefully accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We can assume as well that that that the antichrist will have control over each and every individual on this paper plant, because he will not we have to remember that he will be a man. Even though he's embodied by Satan. Satan is now my present they can't be everywhere at one time I got a master can just omniscient. He's not doing he doesn't know everything that you have. He doesn't know everything that you're doing today. It will open so the devils unmarred by the devil himself is not on the back it might be a demonic spirit, but it's not the devil to be careful how we speak and how we use things like that and terminology, but these are things I just want you to bear in mind and thinkable and true.
All Linda discussing what you think would listen to verse 11 of Revelation 13 and I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, he spake as a dragon and he exercise with all the power of the first beast before him. This is referring to the false prophet and because of the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first base, whose deadly wound was healed and he knew through the window so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of me.
Remember I told you that I believe that Selby had so the antichrist.
But antichrist will not take his reign of power he will say that he calls the fire that God sent to save the nation of Israel and dog my dog and that's all he will set himself up as God. Verse 13 in the Savior for us by the means of those miracles which he had power to build on the site of the beast, saying to them that dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound while Ceradyne did lose it. I had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be to because of a small inverted, rich and poor food and gone to receive a mark in the right-hand order and therefore it and that no man might buy or sell a save save that he was 17 and that no man might buy or sell. So he that had the mark of the same of the beast of the name of the number of his name in here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of these folders the land and it is six and this is number is 600 and threescore and six. That of course is 666 or commonly referred to as 666 the number of the beast.
The number of antichrist medicine standard beast out of the earth. Here is referring to the false prophet of the second beast comes out of the earth. He is mentioned here for the first time and all of it is given in the Bible concerning him is patient has two horns like a lamb.
Notice in verse 11. This is a mixed metaphor is because heroines speak of strength, whereas a lamb speaks of weakness.
Although this beast has the appearance of weakness. He speaks as of right and verse 11.
In other words he speaks with the authority of Satan's weaknesses only in our appearance that comes up is in the correctness.
Jesus said in his sermon on the Mount view false prophets that come into as rooms in sheep's clothing.
The best profit will come to Israel in sheep's clothing, but God terms him as a beast and he is a false prophet fulfilling the prophecy of the unholy Trinity. Satan the antichrist and hear the false prophet, he was called the false prophet. The Greek word pseudo-prophetess. He is a false prophet.
A prophet of the antichrist is seen with the beast and right in Revelation 16 verse 13. Sending forth demon spirits together permissions to all the data that are less great and final battle against God and God's people he was with the first beast in Revelation 19 verse 20 I'm seeing is a miracle working career with the first basis he comes against Christ at all. Remember the only place to talk about this false prophet is the book of Revelation here. Chapter 13 and onward now there will be supernatural power that the false prophet will have and also the things to observe concerning his ministry in this portion of Scripture. First of all, he comes on the scene of John's vision of the first beast, he is holding the beast.
The Greek word for another is else.
Which means I never have the same kind is the second beast in this chapter is not the same as the one in the previous part of this chapter, which is the antichrist. These are descriptions of two different beasts or individuals in the second place. This beast is seen as coming up out of the earth were forth is the same or is the same as a world heritage. It represents the peoples of the earth, similar to Daniel chapter 7 verse three with the word C symbolizes people so when you see the beast coming up out of the sea or coming up out of the earth. He's not literally coming about will be the servant of the earth is this is a metaphor and allegory for the beast coming out of the sea or out of the earth of people is coming out of people on he would be a person. He will be a false prophet. Now the two bees personify two men with the condemning line that will be normal and natural handball on earth and rising to power in their and third place. The second beast has the appearance of a lamb who will appear to be a wonderful prophet, a religious man fit for his office. He will perform some miracles and will deceive us, to heroines, but he speaks as he tried to separate first thing I noticed about him is that he will exercise the power because the earth to worship the first beast reason antichrist, whose deadly wound will be healed and articles are explained, I believe it will be a military resurrection. Remember Terry when, after defeating devastation. This beast will be in executive of antichrist. If you will and he will exercise Satan's power that will be given to the first beast of the duration of his power is not stated but he comes after the first beast is coming to great influence so it will be until after the middle of the great tribulation, and he cannot ring for more than 3 1/2 years is my opinion I would be a false prophet will rise when the antichrist is embodied by Satan sits in the temple of God and calls himself God commands to be worshiped.
This false prophet will arise. I believe you will be a political leader. It will probably be the antichrist's right-hand man and will promote him and say worship him.
He will be the antichrist spokesperson if you will now wants to notice for flick that I will be declared that he will do great wonders and make fire come down from heaven to earth in the sight of men in the move from one Moses from the Greek word; which means signs you will have signs and wonders being performed, and he will doing the power of antichrist which is doing it in the power of Satan unholy anointed me. Signs and miracles will be for the purpose of deceiving men into accepting the antichrist is not in sixthly he will instruct people on the earth to make an image to the first beast and these orders will be carried out in the image will be set up in the temple of God to be worshiped and special powers will be given to the image and those who do not worship it will be killed out.
No, referring to this image we can speculate, and we can guess and we can come up with many ideas of what this image will be able to be a picture will be something digital would be statue a belated obligate to be a statue enabling to be a statue of the antichrist and and and and of course the Bible says that the statue will be able to form signs and wonders, witchcraft and sorcery under the reality of the antichrist was embodied and inspired by the Dragon Satan himself and special powers will be given to this image and those who do not worship it will be to all the simplest, the second beast will make people receive a mark in their right hands or an affiliate in order to buy or sell an agreement wasn't lauded as a result of this decree, because they were denied to take the mark of the mark of the beast.
There will be a great devotion and worship to the first beast and his image, the worship could be both political and just wanted understand that you can consider very clearly in verse four� And they worshiped the Dragon, which gave power unto the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, who is like the beast and was able to make war with him he would be. Like I said a military genius obligate will be a religious leader. I believe he will run the known world there in the Middle East, economically, and he will be lifted up as a God, and as God will demand to be worshiped. I will discuss with you briefly. The mark of the beast also to verse 16 here and he calls it had both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in the four heads that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name out music.
This mark will be 666 and that will be reminded on the body somewhere for it on the wrist. That's not what the text is saying if you notice in verse 17 very clearly and that no man might buy or sell, save he had the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name, so it could be a mark I could be the name of the beast, and of course will go with the name of the beast is the name of the antichrist or the meaning that he calls his world power.
We don't know what that is. Or it could be the number of his name. Now what's the number of his name, course verse 18 here is wisdom.
Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast for is the number the man is number 600 threescore and six or 666 we can gather from this that perhaps the mark of the beast or the name of the market-based is referred to in verse 17 is 666. I believe that will be what the mark will be no.
Nobody knows whether to be attached to rule whether it will be something that you where physically or whether to be something implanted could be a plethora of things several things you can� So important important is that the poor thing is that if you accept this mark if you received this mark during the time of tribulation, you are doomed for the lake of fire for all eternity and you will spend eternity in hell away from God. I will ask you something, maybe listening to this broadcast and you have listened to me talk about this antichrist and how the spirit of antichrist is already in the world to place in your life right now.
Today where you are at the lowest point you've ever been the spirit of antichrist is told you that drugs and alcohol and sexual perversion and chasing the almighty dollar and being self-sufficient is the way to live your life that spirit of antichrist because without the Lord Jesus Christ without accepting him by faith and cannot live eternally with God forever. You will be damned for the lake of fire and you will live there forever for eternity. You will last you when you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today. All you have to do is put a simple prayer with me. So Lord Jesus.
I confess my sins.
I believe that you raised Jesus from the date I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. I believe that I can have redemption through Jesus Christ by his blood and I'm calling upon you. Now Jesus, I'm asking you to save me, forgive me of all of my sins in Jesus name, my friend, if you prayed that prayer and faith are believe it called has just regenerated your soul and that you are a born again believer and old things are passed away and everything else will become in your life.
