1 00:00:31,859 --> 00:00:33,859 Aren't you glad the Bible says whosoever will? 2 00:00:34,019 --> 00:00:34,659 Amen. 3 00:00:35,219 --> 00:00:35,859 Amen. 4 00:00:35,939 --> 00:00:40,739 So I'm so thankful that God is no respecter of persons, that all 5 00:00:41,539 --> 00:00:43,619 can come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. 6 00:00:44,179 --> 00:00:46,499 If you put in your Bibles, turn to Daniel chapter seven. 7 00:00:47,779 --> 00:00:48,899 Daniel chapter seven. 8 00:00:49,059 --> 00:00:50,899 About half the message tonight will be review. 9 00:00:51,619 --> 00:00:57,319 And I also want to continue to walk you through the end time timetable. 10 00:00:58,039 --> 00:01:01,639 And we're going to do that over and over and over again. 11 00:01:02,439 --> 00:01:05,799 And then towards the last couple of Wednesday nights of the 12 00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:10,679 year, I'm going to take that time and really in depth teach on 13 00:01:10,999 --> 00:01:17,079 the Rapture and why we believe that the Rapture is the next event 14 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,359 to take place in the prophetic timetable. 15 00:01:20,759 --> 00:01:27,239 The only other event that could take place before that is maybe 16 00:01:27,239 --> 00:01:28,679 the battle of Gog and Magog. 17 00:01:28,919 --> 00:01:29,879 That'll be interesting. 18 00:01:30,119 --> 00:01:34,119 You can go read Ezekiel 38 and 39, get an idea of what that battle 19 00:01:34,119 --> 00:01:34,599 might be. 20 00:01:35,239 --> 00:01:38,959 And that's interesting too because that means Russia and many 21 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:45,519 of the other countries would really be inept after that battle. 22 00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:48,519 And so it's just interesting stuff. 23 00:01:48,999 --> 00:01:53,039 My mind is so full when I study this particular subject because 24 00:01:53,039 --> 00:01:56,319 there's so much to learn, there's so much information to take 25 00:01:56,319 --> 00:01:56,639 in. 26 00:01:56,959 --> 00:02:01,679 And if I seem like I, you know, go in circles a little bit, 27 00:02:01,919 --> 00:02:04,559 it's because I review as the best teacher. 28 00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:08,239 And for me too, as I continue to look over and study. 29 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,479 And it's exciting, it's exciting to know that we're in the 30 00:02:11,479 --> 00:02:13,359 last of the last days. 31 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,279 Remember now, they said they were in the last days when the apostles 32 00:02:17,279 --> 00:02:20,169 were here, but we're in the last of the last days. 33 00:02:20,889 --> 00:02:22,809 And I'm telling you he could come tonight. 34 00:02:23,209 --> 00:02:25,209 Daniel, chapter 7, verse 15. 35 00:02:26,889 --> 00:02:30,849 And Daniel was grieved, and I, Daniel was grieved in my spirit, 36 00:02:30,849 --> 00:02:32,649 in the midst of my body. 37 00:02:32,809 --> 00:02:35,129 And the visions of my head troubled me. 38 00:02:35,449 --> 00:02:39,809 And I came near unto one of them that stood by and asked him 39 00:02:39,809 --> 00:02:41,449 the truth of all this. 40 00:02:41,609 --> 00:02:45,179 Wouldn't you like to know or see who that was? 41 00:02:45,179 --> 00:02:48,419 You know, like all it says is one that stood by. 42 00:02:49,539 --> 00:02:51,019 Nobody else would be interested. 43 00:02:51,019 --> 00:02:51,539 I would. 44 00:02:52,099 --> 00:02:53,539 Man, it would be so cool to know. 45 00:02:54,099 --> 00:02:56,699 Yeah, I'm sorry I stopped. 46 00:02:56,699 --> 00:03:04,659 I just came nearer unto one of them that stood by and asked him 47 00:03:04,659 --> 00:03:05,939 the truth of all of this. 48 00:03:06,499 --> 00:03:10,339 So he told me and made me know the interpretation of the things. 49 00:03:11,179 --> 00:03:11,819 Verse 17. 50 00:03:11,979 --> 00:03:16,299 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall 51 00:03:16,299 --> 00:03:17,819 arise out of the earth. 52 00:03:18,059 --> 00:03:21,859 But the saints of the most high shall take the kingdom and possess 53 00:03:21,859 --> 00:03:25,739 the kingdom forever, even forever and ever. 54 00:03:27,339 --> 00:03:29,099 And I think I could just see Daniel going. 55 00:03:30,139 --> 00:03:31,419 He didn't tell me a whole lot. 56 00:03:33,819 --> 00:03:35,099 Then verse 19. 57 00:03:35,099 --> 00:03:39,459 I would know the truth of the four beasts which was the fourth 58 00:03:39,459 --> 00:03:43,259 beast, which was diverse from all the others exceeding dreadful, 59 00:03:43,259 --> 00:03:47,739 whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass, which devoured 60 00:03:47,899 --> 00:03:50,859 break in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet. 61 00:03:51,179 --> 00:03:54,579 And of the 10 horns that were in his head, and of the other which 62 00:03:54,579 --> 00:03:59,659 came up, and before him, whom three fell even of that horn that 63 00:03:59,659 --> 00:04:04,499 had eyes and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look 64 00:04:04,499 --> 00:04:08,419 was more stout than his fellows, and I beheld in the same 65 00:04:08,419 --> 00:04:12,299 horn, made war with the saints and prevailed against them, until 66 00:04:12,299 --> 00:04:15,899 the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints 67 00:04:15,899 --> 00:04:16,899 of the Most High. 68 00:04:17,219 --> 00:04:20,179 And the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. 69 00:04:20,499 --> 00:04:24,979 Thus he said, the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon 70 00:04:24,979 --> 00:04:28,659 earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour 71 00:04:28,659 --> 00:04:31,859 the whole earth, and shall tread it down and break in pieces. 72 00:04:32,589 --> 00:04:33,589 And then the ten horns. 73 00:04:33,589 --> 00:04:36,829 Out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise, and another 74 00:04:36,989 --> 00:04:38,269 shall rise after them. 75 00:04:38,269 --> 00:04:42,149 And he shall be diversed from the first, and shall subdue three 76 00:04:42,149 --> 00:04:42,589 kings. 77 00:04:43,069 --> 00:04:46,829 And he shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall 78 00:04:46,829 --> 00:04:50,469 wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change times 79 00:04:50,469 --> 00:04:54,909 and laws, and they shall be given into his hand until the time 80 00:04:55,389 --> 00:04:58,029 and times, and the dividing of time. 81 00:04:58,819 --> 00:04:59,579 Verse 26. 82 00:04:59,579 --> 00:05:03,939 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, 83 00:05:04,179 --> 00:05:07,219 to consume and destroy it unto the end. 84 00:05:07,939 --> 00:05:09,379 I love verse 27. 85 00:05:10,019 --> 00:05:13,459 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom 86 00:05:13,459 --> 00:05:17,099 unto the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints 87 00:05:17,099 --> 00:05:20,659 of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, 88 00:05:21,059 --> 00:05:26,279 and all dominions shall serve obey him. 89 00:05:27,879 --> 00:05:29,559 Hitherto is the end of the matter. 90 00:05:29,959 --> 00:05:34,359 And as for me, Daniel, my cognitations was much troubled me, 91 00:05:36,039 --> 00:05:38,199 and my countenance changed in me. 92 00:05:39,399 --> 00:05:41,159 But I kept the matter in my heart. 93 00:05:41,559 --> 00:05:42,239 Let's pray. 94 00:05:42,239 --> 00:05:44,759 Heavenly Father, Lord again pray for wisdom. 95 00:05:44,999 --> 00:05:51,529 As we look at this passage and Lord may again we be reminded that 96 00:05:51,529 --> 00:05:52,689 we are in the end times. 97 00:05:53,169 --> 00:05:55,089 And God may we live in light of eternity. 98 00:05:55,489 --> 00:05:56,409 Thank you and love you. 99 00:05:56,409 --> 00:05:57,969 In Jesus name, Amen. 100 00:05:58,049 --> 00:06:00,769 The theme of the book of Daniel again is God rules in the 101 00:06:00,769 --> 00:06:01,569 affairs of men. 102 00:06:01,889 --> 00:06:05,809 And we cover that every Sunday night that we've studied Daniel. 103 00:06:06,129 --> 00:06:12,129 And remembering that God puts kings on throne, God takes them down. 104 00:06:12,849 --> 00:06:14,369 We have no need to worry. 105 00:06:15,259 --> 00:06:15,979 God's in control. 106 00:06:17,419 --> 00:06:19,019 Ultimately God's on the throne. 107 00:06:20,219 --> 00:06:21,579 He will not forget his own. 108 00:06:21,819 --> 00:06:22,859 He cares for us. 109 00:06:23,819 --> 00:06:25,499 He again is in control. 110 00:06:25,979 --> 00:06:28,859 Of all things, he has all power. 111 00:06:29,739 --> 00:06:30,859 We don't have to fear. 112 00:06:31,499 --> 00:06:34,299 No matter what happens in our government, no matter what happens 113 00:06:34,539 --> 00:06:37,699 in governments around the world, we remember that God is in 114 00:06:37,699 --> 00:06:37,979 control. 115 00:06:39,499 --> 00:06:42,299 Again, the prophet here's purpose is to encourage God's people 116 00:06:43,439 --> 00:06:49,759 to remind them that they will return from captivity and that ultimately 117 00:06:50,079 --> 00:06:50,719 they will. 118 00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:56,319 The Jews, the kingdom that was promised to David will be set up 119 00:06:57,039 --> 00:06:59,839 and that that kingdom will be an eternal kingdom. 120 00:07:00,799 --> 00:07:04,239 And the Jews are reminded of this in chapter seven. 121 00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:07,759 Again, chronologically fits between chapter four and five. 122 00:07:08,969 --> 00:07:12,329 Again, the first seven or six chapters. 123 00:07:12,729 --> 00:07:16,649 Six chapters deal kind of historically what's happened here. 124 00:07:16,649 --> 00:07:19,969 We're dealing with future events, and so that's why we have 125 00:07:19,969 --> 00:07:21,289 that division taking place. 126 00:07:21,529 --> 00:07:24,689 And then we know chapter two has of course, future implications 127 00:07:24,689 --> 00:07:25,049 too. 128 00:07:25,369 --> 00:07:28,969 But the first six chapters primarily deal with Daniel and his 129 00:07:28,969 --> 00:07:31,289 friends and so forth. 130 00:07:31,529 --> 00:07:35,189 So that's why you got to fit chapter seven back over between chapter 131 00:07:35,189 --> 00:07:36,989 four and chapter five. 132 00:07:38,029 --> 00:07:41,709 Here we see Daniel is troubled and physically shaken. 133 00:07:42,749 --> 00:07:44,429 Again, Babylon is in power. 134 00:07:44,989 --> 00:07:50,909 Belshazzar is that, you know, on the throne, reigning with his 135 00:07:50,909 --> 00:07:51,309 dad. 136 00:07:52,829 --> 00:07:53,749 He's troubled. 137 00:07:53,749 --> 00:07:58,629 Daniel's troubled about not only about the intense vision he 138 00:07:58,629 --> 00:08:01,799 just received, but the place, political change that will take place 139 00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:04,239 and the human suffering that's going to take place. 140 00:08:04,239 --> 00:08:07,639 And he sees all of this, and he sees what sin's going to cause, 141 00:08:08,039 --> 00:08:09,159 and it troubles him. 142 00:08:09,159 --> 00:08:12,719 Imagine if you were to see in a vision millions of people going 143 00:08:12,719 --> 00:08:12,999 to. 144 00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:14,919 And know that millions of people are going to die. 145 00:08:15,878 --> 00:08:16,679 Hundreds of million. 146 00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:20,919 And know that your own countrymen are going to die. 147 00:08:20,919 --> 00:08:22,599 Many of them, thousands of them. 148 00:08:22,759 --> 00:08:24,039 Hundreds of thousands of them. 149 00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:25,589 Millions of them. 150 00:08:26,859 --> 00:08:27,739 It troubled him. 151 00:08:27,979 --> 00:08:29,099 Wouldn't you be troubled? 152 00:08:30,459 --> 00:08:32,219 Especially if you knew it was true? 153 00:08:32,219 --> 00:08:33,099 We know it's true. 154 00:08:33,499 --> 00:08:34,859 Daniel knew it was going to happen. 155 00:08:35,819 --> 00:08:37,419 Boy, that would be troubling, wouldn't it? 156 00:08:37,739 --> 00:08:38,619 He was shaken. 157 00:08:40,459 --> 00:08:43,939 The times of the Gentiles had begun with Nebuchadnezzar's defeat 158 00:08:43,939 --> 00:08:46,459 of Jerusalem and the destruction of Jerusalem. 159 00:08:46,459 --> 00:08:47,979 Times of the Gentiles is no longer. 160 00:08:48,059 --> 00:08:49,099 I'll just use it this way. 161 00:08:49,099 --> 00:08:50,699 It's no longer the times of the Jews. 162 00:08:52,469 --> 00:08:54,629 God's primarily dealing with the Jews. 163 00:08:54,949 --> 00:08:58,309 It's now the primary dealing is with the Gentiles. 164 00:08:58,629 --> 00:09:03,749 Nebuchadnezzar the Gentile now is ruler of the then known world. 165 00:09:04,949 --> 00:09:10,829 And until the battle of Armageddon, the time of the Gentiles 166 00:09:10,829 --> 00:09:11,469 will be in place. 167 00:09:11,469 --> 00:09:13,429 But that's not always going to be the case. 168 00:09:15,829 --> 00:09:20,109 Nebuchadnezzar's vision in chapter two correlates with this 169 00:09:20,189 --> 00:09:21,229 particular Vision. 170 00:09:21,629 --> 00:09:26,109 In chapter two he sees a statue that again is showing him 171 00:09:26,349 --> 00:09:28,669 the four world powers. 172 00:09:28,669 --> 00:09:30,509 The current world power of Babylon. 173 00:09:30,589 --> 00:09:33,469 And then the next world power to be the Medo Persian Empire. 174 00:09:33,629 --> 00:09:35,629 The next world power to be Greece. 175 00:09:35,869 --> 00:09:37,509 And then the next power to be Rome. 176 00:09:37,509 --> 00:09:42,229 And then the 10 toes of that statue representing the revived Roman 177 00:09:42,229 --> 00:09:42,749 Empire. 178 00:09:45,319 --> 00:09:48,719 In verses one through eight of chapter seven we have the rise of 179 00:09:48,719 --> 00:09:49,799 these four beasts. 180 00:09:50,199 --> 00:09:51,719 And then we went over this last Sunday. 181 00:09:53,239 --> 00:09:57,319 The first beast was a winged lion, a lion with wings. 182 00:09:57,799 --> 00:09:59,559 And this represents Babylon. 183 00:10:00,038 --> 00:10:04,679 The next beast was a bear representing the Medo Persian Empire. 184 00:10:05,239 --> 00:10:08,679 And it says that he was feeding upon three ribs. 185 00:10:09,729 --> 00:10:10,209 I'm hungry. 186 00:10:10,209 --> 00:10:11,009 Ribs sound good. 187 00:10:13,169 --> 00:10:14,289 The three ribs. 188 00:10:14,449 --> 00:10:17,609 We don't know what that represents necessarily, but maybe 189 00:10:17,609 --> 00:10:19,729 Egypt and Babylon and Lydia. 190 00:10:20,769 --> 00:10:25,768 Because again, when the Medo Persian Empire took the place of 191 00:10:25,768 --> 00:10:29,569 Babylon, it didn't just have to defeat Babylon, there were other 192 00:10:30,209 --> 00:10:35,529 entities, other countries that had, had gone away from Babylon. 193 00:10:35,529 --> 00:10:40,249 And so they had to to get all of those country resubmitted, resubdued, 194 00:10:40,249 --> 00:10:46,409 defeat some of those other powers that had fallen away and had 195 00:10:46,889 --> 00:10:48,729 gone away from the Babylonian empire. 196 00:10:49,449 --> 00:10:51,449 And then the third one was the leopard. 197 00:10:52,009 --> 00:10:52,889 The leopard. 198 00:10:53,209 --> 00:10:54,729 And this represents Greece. 199 00:10:54,889 --> 00:10:58,489 It speaks of this leopard having four wings and four heads. 200 00:11:00,489 --> 00:11:04,199 And then the fourth beast, and this is the one Daniel is zoning 201 00:11:04,199 --> 00:11:04,719 in on. 202 00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:09,679 And when verses 7 and 8 are describing the beast, there's nothing 203 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:10,399 like it. 204 00:11:11,039 --> 00:11:14,159 So it doesn't give you an animal to describe it, it simply 205 00:11:14,159 --> 00:11:18,239 gives you characteristics of that beast. 206 00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:21,839 And this represents Rome. 207 00:11:22,959 --> 00:11:25,999 And then it represents the future revived Rome Empire. 208 00:11:26,719 --> 00:11:30,079 Because verse again 7 and 8 began to talk about the 10 horns 209 00:11:31,069 --> 00:11:32,189 again on this beast. 210 00:11:33,229 --> 00:11:39,309 And then the little horn that arises out of the 10 horns and then 211 00:11:39,709 --> 00:11:42,909 that little horn subdues. 212 00:11:43,069 --> 00:11:47,109 That's the word used we just read pulls up if you. 213 00:11:47,109 --> 00:11:48,829 It's what the Bible speaks of. 214 00:11:49,389 --> 00:11:51,629 Three of the other horns. 215 00:11:54,269 --> 00:11:58,319 This little horn had a mouth, spoke great things. 216 00:11:59,439 --> 00:12:01,999 The little horn had eyes, human eyes. 217 00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:06,879 This little horn we know as the Antichrist. 218 00:12:08,879 --> 00:12:18,919 The Antichrist, understand the verses 9 through 14 that speaks of 219 00:12:18,919 --> 00:12:21,319 the ancient of days and the Son of Man, the ancient of days, 220 00:12:21,319 --> 00:12:23,599 the eternal judge and God the Father. 221 00:12:23,599 --> 00:12:27,959 And then again destroys the Antichrist. 222 00:12:27,959 --> 00:12:36,239 The Antichrist is destroyed and thrown into hell, describes him 223 00:12:36,239 --> 00:12:39,599 as a beast thrown into hell, thrown into the fire. 224 00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:48,609 That is the ultimate place in which the Antichrist was, will be 225 00:12:48,609 --> 00:12:49,009 placed. 226 00:12:49,009 --> 00:12:49,769 That's where he'll go. 227 00:12:49,769 --> 00:12:51,449 That's where the end is by the way. 228 00:12:51,449 --> 00:12:55,449 It's where Satan's end too, ultimately, in hell. 229 00:12:57,289 --> 00:13:00,409 And then verses 13 through 14 describe the Son of man. 230 00:13:00,889 --> 00:13:02,249 And this is Jesus Christ. 231 00:13:02,329 --> 00:13:06,729 And it speaks of again the Son of Man being given dominion and being 232 00:13:06,729 --> 00:13:08,489 given the everlasting kingdom. 233 00:13:09,849 --> 00:13:15,099 Revelation chapter 5 also describes this same scene of the 234 00:13:15,099 --> 00:13:16,379 Antichrist being defeated. 235 00:13:16,379 --> 00:13:21,059 And the Son of Man, Jesus Christ, will rule and reign forever 236 00:13:21,059 --> 00:13:21,539 and ever. 237 00:13:24,659 --> 00:13:26,579 Alright, so that's where we stopped at last time. 238 00:13:27,859 --> 00:13:29,699 Now we have the vision. 239 00:13:29,699 --> 00:13:30,899 Partially explained. 240 00:13:31,059 --> 00:13:34,499 Doesn't really give us the whole explanation, but it gives us 241 00:13:34,739 --> 00:13:36,179 a partial explanation. 242 00:13:36,419 --> 00:13:39,819 And Daniel asks one that stood near him, like I said, I would want 243 00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:40,179 to know. 244 00:13:40,719 --> 00:13:45,879 Be nice to know who that is or what that is, or what creation that 245 00:13:45,879 --> 00:13:47,999 is, what creature that is, right? 246 00:13:49,279 --> 00:13:52,879 One near him and ask the question, what do these things mean? 247 00:13:53,199 --> 00:13:54,879 What are the truths found here? 248 00:13:56,799 --> 00:14:03,439 And then the creature says, the four beasts represent four kings, 249 00:14:04,479 --> 00:14:07,119 four Kings that will arise and have dominion. 250 00:14:08,079 --> 00:14:09,999 These four beasts represent four kings. 251 00:14:12,079 --> 00:14:13,279 And I love this part. 252 00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:16,239 If you go back and read it again, it's as though it didn't matter 253 00:14:17,519 --> 00:14:22,359 because he doesn't go into a deep explanation of all the things 254 00:14:22,359 --> 00:14:22,719 that. 255 00:14:23,598 --> 00:14:26,839 All the things that the beasts were, but he kind of just goes, yeah, 256 00:14:26,839 --> 00:14:27,519 these represent. 257 00:14:27,839 --> 00:14:30,079 I'm just now giving you my thoughts on it. 258 00:14:30,239 --> 00:14:30,799 All right. 259 00:14:31,039 --> 00:14:33,839 He just kind of goes, yeah, these four beasts represent four 260 00:14:33,839 --> 00:14:34,159 kings. 261 00:14:34,159 --> 00:14:35,809 And oh, guess what? 262 00:14:37,329 --> 00:14:40,569 The Saints are going to reign forever and ever and ever and ever. 263 00:14:40,569 --> 00:14:42,689 He just kind of skips over it, everything else. 264 00:14:43,169 --> 00:14:44,449 That's so cool, isn't it? 265 00:14:46,529 --> 00:14:47,489 What does it matter? 266 00:14:47,569 --> 00:14:49,889 It's kind of like what he says, what does it matter? 267 00:14:50,449 --> 00:14:51,249 No, no, no. 268 00:14:51,249 --> 00:14:56,929 The Saints and the Son of Man are going to reign and have dominion 269 00:14:57,089 --> 00:15:00,049 over the kingdoms forever and ever and ever. 270 00:15:00,049 --> 00:15:00,849 I love that part. 271 00:15:00,849 --> 00:15:01,729 I think it's awesome. 272 00:15:02,259 --> 00:15:04,939 But the Saints of the Most High, verse 18, shall take the kingdom 273 00:15:04,939 --> 00:15:05,939 and possess it. 274 00:15:06,259 --> 00:15:09,779 Possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever. 275 00:15:11,779 --> 00:15:12,499 Touchdown. 276 00:15:15,539 --> 00:15:22,459 I mean, all this explanation of how wild and beastly and terrible 277 00:15:22,459 --> 00:15:24,979 these beasts are, especially the fourth beast. 278 00:15:25,139 --> 00:15:31,019 And all this creature wanted to say to Daniel was, listen, the 279 00:15:31,019 --> 00:15:33,179 Savior, the Son of man is going to reign forever. 280 00:15:33,419 --> 00:15:35,499 Not just forever, but forever and ever. 281 00:15:35,979 --> 00:15:36,859 It's awesome. 282 00:15:43,419 --> 00:15:46,979 And then Daniel, he just basically says, what? 283 00:15:46,979 --> 00:15:49,099 I would like to know a little more than that. 284 00:15:49,419 --> 00:15:52,219 And he rehearses the vision. 285 00:15:52,619 --> 00:15:57,829 He rehearses it in verses 16 through 21, 22, he reviews. 286 00:15:58,229 --> 00:16:00,789 And then he asks again concerning the fourth beast. 287 00:16:01,589 --> 00:16:05,309 It's like he's saying, okay, I get this, but can I have some more 288 00:16:05,309 --> 00:16:05,589 information? 289 00:16:06,789 --> 00:16:10,628 It's like, you know, hey, I like a little more detail, especially 290 00:16:10,709 --> 00:16:11,829 about that fourth beast. 291 00:16:15,749 --> 00:16:24,399 Then further explanation of the vision, verses 23, 27, the angel 292 00:16:24,399 --> 00:16:26,079 or this creature gives him more information. 293 00:16:26,239 --> 00:16:29,719 The fourth kingdom will rule over the whole earth. 294 00:16:29,719 --> 00:16:34,479 There in verse 23, verse 24, he speaks about again the ten kings 295 00:16:34,719 --> 00:16:38,559 who will reign and one will rise up and remove three of them. 296 00:16:40,079 --> 00:16:42,239 The Bible here uses the word subdue. 297 00:16:42,639 --> 00:16:45,039 In other words, put in subjection or controlled. 298 00:16:45,689 --> 00:16:48,689 But another part it says that he will pluck them up, he'll part 299 00:16:48,689 --> 00:16:49,209 them up. 300 00:16:49,289 --> 00:16:52,409 So whether it's they're completely gone, but no matter what, 301 00:16:52,409 --> 00:16:54,249 he's over them, he's controlling them. 302 00:16:54,729 --> 00:16:56,329 They're in subjection to him. 303 00:16:56,329 --> 00:16:57,369 The Antichrist. 304 00:16:58,809 --> 00:17:02,969 Verses 24 and 25, the Antichrist again is described and 305 00:17:02,969 --> 00:17:04,409 even some of his actions. 306 00:17:04,569 --> 00:17:08,449 Again he'll subdue three of the kings, he'll control them, he'll 307 00:17:08,449 --> 00:17:09,929 reign over them. 308 00:17:11,139 --> 00:17:16,459 Verses 11, 20 and verse 8 and verse 25 speaks about the Antichrist 309 00:17:16,459 --> 00:17:17,619 speaking great words. 310 00:17:17,619 --> 00:17:20,219 And then it gives us further explanation. 311 00:17:20,219 --> 00:17:22,659 There in verse 25, against God. 312 00:17:22,659 --> 00:17:25,659 It says he'll speak great words against God. 313 00:17:25,659 --> 00:17:29,939 We know Revelation speaks about him speaking blasphemies, that 314 00:17:29,939 --> 00:17:32,019 he will speak blasphemies against God. 315 00:17:33,299 --> 00:17:34,819 He will speak against God. 316 00:17:40,028 --> 00:17:41,468 He will persecute the saints. 317 00:17:41,708 --> 00:17:42,868 I like the way it describes it. 318 00:17:42,868 --> 00:17:43,708 He'll wear them out. 319 00:17:43,708 --> 00:17:47,388 But we know from Revelation that he will persecute the saints, 320 00:17:48,668 --> 00:17:54,788 especially the Jews, and that this will last for three and a half 321 00:17:54,788 --> 00:17:55,148 years. 322 00:17:56,348 --> 00:17:57,628 For three and a half years. 323 00:18:00,108 --> 00:18:05,879 Notice it says at the end of verse 25 and he shall just go ahead 324 00:18:05,879 --> 00:18:08,239 and read the whole verse and he shall speak great words against 325 00:18:08,239 --> 00:18:08,999 the Most High. 326 00:18:09,479 --> 00:18:13,399 Again, blasphemies against God shall wear out the saints of the 327 00:18:13,399 --> 00:18:13,759 Most High. 328 00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:17,798 Going to be persecution of the saints and think to change the time 329 00:18:17,798 --> 00:18:18,679 and laws. 330 00:18:19,319 --> 00:18:25,959 Again, speaking of changing the system of changing the laws of 331 00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:32,459 the Judeo Christian, you know, laws that are in place of changing 332 00:18:32,459 --> 00:18:32,779 those. 333 00:18:32,939 --> 00:18:36,419 And they shall be given into his hand until the time and times 334 00:18:36,419 --> 00:18:37,499 of the dividing of times. 335 00:18:37,499 --> 00:18:37,899 3. 336 00:18:38,059 --> 00:18:40,299 That little phrase there means three and a half years. 337 00:18:41,899 --> 00:18:46,899 In other words, God limits the time in which the Antichrist will 338 00:18:46,899 --> 00:18:48,939 be able to wear the saints out. 339 00:18:51,019 --> 00:18:52,059 Limits that time. 340 00:18:53,579 --> 00:18:55,179 I'm thankful God's in control. 341 00:18:57,269 --> 00:18:59,989 I want to be reminded over and over again that God's in control. 342 00:19:01,989 --> 00:19:06,309 And there is a seven year tribulation that will take place. 343 00:19:07,749 --> 00:19:09,749 There is a seven year tribulation take place. 344 00:19:09,749 --> 00:19:14,629 The next event on the calendar of the prophetic timetable, I believe 345 00:19:14,629 --> 00:19:15,509 is the Rapture. 346 00:19:16,309 --> 00:19:17,829 I believe that's very clear. 347 00:19:18,949 --> 00:19:21,109 And all the saved will be caught up. 348 00:19:22,469 --> 00:19:26,309 All the saved will be caught up and changed in the moment of the 349 00:19:26,309 --> 00:19:29,229 twinkling of an eye, at the last trump, the trumpet's going to 350 00:19:29,229 --> 00:19:30,989 sound and we're going to be caught up to be with him. 351 00:19:30,989 --> 00:19:32,389 We're going to be raptured up. 352 00:19:34,869 --> 00:19:36,069 What a day that'll be. 353 00:19:38,069 --> 00:19:41,029 And while that seven year tribulation is going on here on earth, 354 00:19:42,629 --> 00:19:50,279 we will be in heaven for seven years, those who are saved, because 355 00:19:50,279 --> 00:19:52,879 God has not appointed his children under wrath. 356 00:19:54,159 --> 00:19:56,719 Revelation makes it very clear. 357 00:19:57,679 --> 00:20:00,439 And we'll study that, as I said in particular towards the end 358 00:20:00,439 --> 00:20:03,039 of the year and really lay it out for you. 359 00:20:04,239 --> 00:20:06,159 So again, seven years of tribulation. 360 00:20:06,799 --> 00:20:09,279 Three and a half years of peace. 361 00:20:09,679 --> 00:20:11,679 Three and a half years of Jacob's trouble. 362 00:20:12,969 --> 00:20:15,689 Three and a half years of peace, peace, peace. 363 00:20:15,849 --> 00:20:19,409 As the Antichrist rules and reigns, he does rule and reign, but 364 00:20:19,409 --> 00:20:20,489 he does so in peace. 365 00:20:21,209 --> 00:20:23,969 At the end of that three and a half years, man, he does change the 366 00:20:23,969 --> 00:20:29,049 times and he does change the laws and he does go back on his agreements 367 00:20:29,049 --> 00:20:33,289 with the Jews and he does set his idols up or he sets himself up 368 00:20:34,329 --> 00:20:42,339 in the temple, makes himself God and begins to persecute Christians 369 00:20:42,339 --> 00:20:47,779 and Jews alike, ruthlessly slaughtering them. 370 00:20:49,379 --> 00:20:52,979 What's amazing to me is we read about those who will be saved. 371 00:20:52,979 --> 00:20:55,779 In fact, the Bible says those that will be saved during the tribulation 372 00:20:56,179 --> 00:20:57,539 cannot be numbered. 373 00:20:59,859 --> 00:21:01,059 I don't know what the number is. 374 00:21:01,299 --> 00:21:02,739 It says it can't be numbered. 375 00:21:02,979 --> 00:21:07,839 I'm telling you, there will be a great host of people saved who 376 00:21:07,839 --> 00:21:12,799 accept Christ as their savior, who put their trust in Jesus Christ 377 00:21:13,199 --> 00:21:17,119 by grace, through faith, by the way, the same way we get saved 378 00:21:18,079 --> 00:21:20,479 throughout the great tribulation. 379 00:21:22,639 --> 00:21:25,839 Those are the ones who will come through the tribulation. 380 00:21:26,879 --> 00:21:30,319 Those are
