[00:00:17] Speaker B: I am here to facilitate learning the word of God on a fundamental level.
So join me and let's grow together and build a relationship with our creator.
And that starts now.
[00:00:40] Speaker A: Hello ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to an amazing thing. Thank you for joining me. This is our early week show where we cover Bible prophecy, current events, things happening around the world that deal with God's prophetic time clock.
Today will be the third and concluding lesson in a three show series that we have.
The first of the first show in that series was entitled A Nation with a Man's Heart and that was done to commemorate America's 250th birthday. The second show in this trio is nations now and hereafter the the third in concluding this series is From Many nations to One Empire, recognizing the great transition.
Okay, well, these four kingdoms merge into one kingdom here. And we know from our last lesson that beast represents kingdoms. And those kingdoms that we talked about in Daniel chapter seven, which were four and they were the lion with eagle's wings, there was also the bear. Russia, we have the leopard. And the leopard had four wings of a fowl. We know that that is Germany and France, the ten horned beast which makes up the rest of the of the kingdoms of Europe and later will be joined by other nations and other continents joined together to make up this ten horned beast. And so we have the lion with eagle's wings, the Great Britain of the United States of America, the bear which is Russia, the leopard, and the four wings of the foul, that would be Germany and France. And then you had the ten horn nation.
The scripture tells us that the eagle's wings were plucked from the lion and made to stand up on its feet as a man.
So we know that the United States of America is not going to be a part of this finished conglomerate beast because the Bible tells us it was plugged. Now John saw these beasts in the book of Revelation merge into one beast.
Remember, all the beasts in, in Revelation 13 merge into one. Those beasts from the Old Testament book of Daniel are now one beast in Revelation 13 and they retain all of the seven heads. And the nations of the ten horned beasts are joined. They were joined together as a 10 horn beast in 800 AD and that is the Holy Roman Empire. And remember, the Holy Roman Empire always had two leaders at the time of its inception, 800 A.D. charlemagne, Charles the Great was the political leader. He couldn't solidify his kingdom by himself. And the religious aspect of it was Pope Leo III and the Holy Roman Empire became one at that point.
And so we remember that the Holy Roman Empire was also in the image that Nebuchadnezzar had of the feet of intent, toes of iron mingle with clay. So we're going to have to explain this before we can move on so that you can understand where we're coming from.
[00:03:46] Speaker B: And.
[00:03:47] Speaker A: And these things to be true just not be telling you. Remember, Nebuchadnezzar had a dream back in Daniel, in chapter two, he had a dream. It was a disturbing dream. We won't take time to read the whole dream now, but in essence, it was a dream that was very disturbing to him.
And when he had the dream, he couldn't remember what the dream was, and he wanted to know what it would have been. So he gathered together all of his men who were supposed to be able to explain all these things. He had the prophets and the magicians and the preachers and all these people in one group. And they could not tell him what the dream was. They said, no man on earth can do that. He says, well, unless you can do it by next Friday, I'm gonna chop all Yalls heads off. And that's just the way it is. And so no one could do it. So they showed up. Now, Daniel was not with these people this day because they showed up at Daniel's house and says, we're here to chop up your head. That's as orders of the king. He says, why? Well, you were supposed to tell the king what he dreamed and what the meaning of the dream was. Daniel said, I can't determine this dream, but I serve a God who can. If you will ask Nebuchadnezzar if he'll give me more time, I will petition my God to. To help us with this. And the king agrees to do that.
So this is where we are now. So now Daniel shows up and lets the people know that he's ready to tell King Nebuchadnezzar what his dream was. God has allowed him to dream, never cast his dream, and he has the meaning of it. So Daniel gives Nebuchadnezzar the dream. He says, what you dream was a. An image. And the image had four different types of metal.
And Nebuchadnezzar says, oh, my God, you're right. And so he explains the five different metals in the image. Daniel begins with the head of gold and explains, Nebuchadnezzar, you are the head of gold.
And. And that is the Babylonian empire, is that head of gold.
So that's Good news for Nebuchadnezzar. Sounds good to him. The metal, the next metal is the silver, which is Medo Persia. Now I don't know if Daniel told him it's middle Persia. Now we know that's what it was because that is the kingdom that conquered Babylon shortly after this. Well, not shortly, but a little while after this, when the Israel's time in the Babylonian captivity was over and that's when the end of it was. That's when the Medo Persian came in and took over.
The next change of metal was the metal of brass, and that is the Grecian Empire. And we all know that's Alexander the Great.
And so the next change of metal was the Roman Empire. That's the Caesars. And that was the strongest empire and it also lasted the longest. The next change of metal was not a complete change at all like the other times. It was the feet of iron mingled with clay. And the Bible tells us that the king would be this kingdom would be partly weak and partly strong because we know that iron doesn't mingle with clay. So from the time of 800 AD, which was the beginning of the Holy Roman Empire, we know that Charlemagne, Charles the Great, along with Pope Leo iii, solidifying the political aspect with the religious aspect of the kingdom coming together. And that is the Holy Roman Empire. And that is representative of the toes of iron mingle with clay.
The same thing as the horns in the Daniel 7 image and as well as the image in Revelation 13.
And so we know that those the feet of iron mingle with clay. The Bible says there was a stone that was hewn out of the mountain and smoked. The 10 toes on the feet of iron mingle with clay. And the stone represents Jesus Christ. So we know that that's how long this kingdom is going to last. And the time of this kingdom is going to be the time of the return of Jesus Christ.
As I mentioned earlier, the hills and valleys of the kingdom we know since 1806 has probably been the longest valley of the Holy Roman Empire. And most people believe that the Holy Roman Empire ceased to be in 1806, when Francis II abdicated the throne at the time of Napoleon. But there's been a rather long valley, but yet still it was a valley, because we know In November of 2009, the European Union became the Holy Roman Empire reborn. Now it's not as big as it's going to be because there are some nations that have yet to join, but it is solidified as the Holy Roman Empire.
And so there's some more, there's some more countries as well as from different countries that's going to join into this before the Holy Roman Empire is complete in its entirety.
So since the beginning of the holy empire at 800 A.D. through our time, it's also always had two leaders. As we mentioned before, all of the political leaders have been from Europe, different parts of Europe from time to time. But the political leader, the religious leader has always been from Rome.
So that's what it is. And we know the 10 tones, the 10 tones, like we said, the fifth segment of Nebuchadnezzar's image again is the same as those 10 horns. So this also lets us know that these days of the king, of the return of Jesus Christ are going to be in the days of these kings. And the Bible tells us in the days of these kings shall God set up a kingdom that would never be overthrown and would never be left to other people.
So most of the world will join this beast. The Bible says that the whole world will join him where he's in control and he will be in control in most of the world. This is Revelation chapter 17, verse 10.
And there were seven kings, five are fallen, one is, the other has not yet come. And when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
So John lived under the Roman Empire which is going to be the sixth kingdom of the seven kings that have had world domination. Now remember from our last lesson, the Bible tells us that many heads on the beast, it shows the, the amount of times that beast will rise and fall. Well we know that this beast in Revelation 13 has seven heads. All those kingdoms that came from, from Daniel's image we know we had one for the lion, four for the leopard, one for the bear and one for the ten hornbeast. So if these five are fallen, let's, let's go over the seven kingdoms. So we can all know the seven world dominating kingdoms didn't say the kingdoms that almost ran the world. We know that the Genghis Khan ruled half the world, but it didn't rule at all. So that's one of the things that we have to take into consideration.
We know that the first world kingdom was the Egyptian empire.
After them was the Assyrian Empire.
After that empire was Babylon. That's where Daniel was in captivity there. We know that the fourth empire was the Medo Persian Empire. That was the Meson of Persia that conquered Babylon. The fifth empire was the Grecian Empire. The sixth empire was when John was writing these things down. That's the Roman Empire, the Caesars and that lasts the longest.
Now we the from 800 AD was the beginning of the Holy Empire. And like I said before 2009 it's rising once again.
So the seventh empire of John's point of view was yet to come. Which was the old Roman Empire, which was what, 700 years after John was gone.
This is Revelation 17:11. And the beast that was and is not even he is the eighth. And go with him into perdition as the seventh kingdom has hills and valleys. And we're living to see this empire rise once again. That Kingdom of the 8th is of the 7. It will be more powerful than any other kingdom that we've seen in this union but more than a thousand years. And so the resurgence of, of the Holy Empire is the eighth. The eighth is of the seven, which is what the, the prophecy tells us. Now the kingdom of the Holy Empire will soon develop an army that will be more powerful and invincible. You know, we live in a time now where superpowers, the United States is a superpower. We see Russia and China becoming a superpower. Well we've never seen one like this one because it's going to have great iron teeth, is going to control most of the world is going to be a part of it. And so this kingdom is the kingdom that Satan has been trying to build throughout time. And it will come to pass that he will put his leader and this leader that he's going to put in front of in, in charge of this kingdom that he's building is going to be the Antichrist. And so that's just ahead of us. So it's a knot. This is not a far fetched fantasy movie that we're talking about here. This is biblical scripture and this is going to happen. So the Bible says it's going to happen is shortly going to come to pass.
Okay, let's talk about Satan's kingdom and how it's going to be revealed here.
All of the kings of the world. Throughout time there's been an attempt by Satan to bring everyone under one banner, one leader with him supplying the leader. So the leader that he's trying to put in charges will be the leader of his choosing. And so we have heard terms, we've heard the term power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Well that's just not a thing we say. That's an absolute truth. So all the attempts of one world government with one leader has ended in one way. That's corruption, debauchery and implosion of itself with wickedness. Every Time we've gotten close to that, it's always ended the same way. This is Matthew, chapter 4, verses 8 through 10.
Again, this is what the. The devil, tempting Jesus when he is, has just come through the fasting and let's just read it. This is Matthew, chapter 4, verses 8 through 10.
Again, the devil take him, Jesus up into an exceeding high mountain and, and show him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them. And saith unto Jesus, all these things I give you if you will fall down and worship me.
Then Jesus said unto him, get thee hence, Satan. For it is written, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Satan is the God of this world. We know the Bible tells us that in all the kingdoms of this world are his to give. They belong to him for a certain part of time. To gain the control of all the kingdoms of this world, you would have to serve Satan. They're his and he will give them to whoever he wants to.
So any leader of the world who comes to lead and rule over the world will be the one that Satan wants there. So it appears that Satan will make the same offer to this one world government leader that he made to Jesus.
If you will bow down and worship me, all these kingdoms I will give you.
And this person is going to make that deal. Now we know that this is the offer that he made to Satan. I had.
What did he say? It appears that this one world government leader is going to take the deal. But in verse 10, Jesus answered the devil and says, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God. Him only shall I serve.
We know that he's offering him the job of Antichrist that's been offered to many people from Nimrod all the way down to Adolf Hitler. And all these people there have been evil men who have wanted to rule the world. Well, this one world government leader is going to take the deal. Well, Jesus turned the deal down.
And I heard a great man of God paraphrase what Jesus told him. He said, get behind. He said, well, this great man of God said that Jesus was in essence saying, why should I want to be the Antichrist when I can be the real Christ?
And that is such an amazing thing. We know that this one world leader is going to take that deal. And, and we know that this is a fast overview. Even in, in this series with these three different lessons, we covered a lot of territory and we're going to have to cover enough so that when we mention things, you know, Antichrist is going to do this or this is going to happen, you can know that it's going to happen without us having to teach the lesson over and over and over again. And so we are trying to keep these things as simple as we can, but show from the word of God we what these things mean when these things are going to come to pass.
And that is we're living in the time that these things are going to come to pass. And everybody probably at the sound of my voice are going to be alive when these things finally do come to pass.
And so we'll be back right after these messages.
