[00:00:02] I'm Rich Young iii. And this is an amazing thing.
[00:00:17] I'm here to facilitate learning the word of God on a fundamental level.
[00:00:24] So join me and let's grow together and build a relationship with our creator.
[00:00:29] And that starts now.
[00:00:43] Hello, everybody. Welcome to an amazing theme. Thank you for joining me. This is our early week show. What we deal with. Bible prophecy, current events, things happening around the world that let us know where we are in God's prophetic time clock.
[00:00:55] Now we're going to study a continuation of a show we did a couple of weeks back. That show was a special show that we did for America's 250th birthday. It was entitled America A Nation with a Man's Heart. And that's something you should probably go back and watch again and watch it for the first time if you haven't seen it before. So this is going to be a continuation of it. That show was dedicated to talk about a biblical view of the origin of the United States of America and what the destiny would be. Well, we had other modern nations that are in these same chapters that we need to bring you up to date on what will happen with those nations as well. And let me start with a little bit of a review of the main scripture that we read in that particular lesson. And it is Daniel, chapter seven, verse four.
[00:01:48] We saw a lion, and the lion had eagle's wings. And the passage says, I watched as the eagle's wings were plucked from the lion and were made to stand upon its feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. So we're able to come to the conclusion that the lion is Great Britain and the eagle is the United States of America, because Great Britain is our mother country.
[00:02:13] That was the origin. And God saw that 2300 years before America was established as a nation and it was recorded. So we can know that now we're going to continue with the other nations that are in that passage with the. The scriptures that follow that. This is Daniel, chapter seven, verse number five.
[00:02:36] And behold, another beast.
[00:02:38] Second, like unto a bear, and it raised itself up on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it, between the teeth of it, and said thus unto it, arise and devour much flesh.
[00:02:54] So there's not much argument about this beast. Even when people argue about the other beast, they all come to the conclusion that the bear is Russia. We've heard so much about it, and we know that Russia is located on two continents. 23% of the country is European. The other 77% is on the continent of Asia. And so we know the bearish raised up on one side. And I don't know if it has something to do with that, but we know the main military and political part of Russia is the European part of Russia.
[00:03:28] And there's been a lot of speculations on why it's raised up on one side.
[00:03:32] And I'm sure we will, as we learn more about that, we'll be able to come to a conclusion.
[00:03:38] One conclusion is that all of the major military actions that Russia has taken has been to one side when they were for the most part victorious. The one time they went to the east, they were not victorious and they were defeated by Japan. So some people speculate that that's why that is.
[00:03:58] And we may learn something as we go along while we can come to a more definitive answer on that.
[00:04:04] But we'll continue here. This is Daniel, chapter seven, verse six, after this. I beheld, lo, another like unto a leopard and had four wings of a foul on the back of it. And the beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.
[00:04:24] So the leopard is known as the country of Germany. They have that leopard tank, much like we have the eagle fighter. So and that is the greatest tank that's been made up to this point. And so everybody wants that tank as an arsenal, a part of their military arsenal. The Leopard is the leopard tank is the premier tank of the world.
[00:04:50] And so I think that's a pretty much slam dunk on who that is.
[00:04:56] We pretty much know that the leopard is Germany.
[00:05:00] The amount of heads on a beast sometimes shows the amount of times that that nation will rise and the nation will fall.
[00:05:09] How do we know that? Well, it's found in Revelation, chapter 17, verse 10. This is talking about a beast with seven heads. And we'll read the scripture. The scripture says that there's the seven heads are seven kings, five are fallen, one is and the other is yet to come. When it cometh, he must continue for a short space.
[00:05:35] Now this scripture is talking about seven heads on the beast. And we know that the heads that become will be headed by the Antichrist. But I don't want to jump the gun too much here because I want to concentrate on who this is.
[00:05:48] The scripture answers the question brought up by the four heads of the leopard on a single beast. So we know that that's how many times the beast will rise and fall.
[00:06:00] And so let's look at if we can put our fingers on the amount of times the foreheads has risen and fallen. We know the Franco Prussian or Prussian is another word for Germany. War of 1870, that's one head. We know that the second head was World War I. We know Germans started that one. We know the third head, Hitler's famous Third Reich, and Reich means kingdom by the way, was the third head. And now we have the fourth head, which is the richest head and it's rising. Now we know that in a short period of time that, that Germany has been, you know, militarily as well as economically the leader in Europe.
[00:06:45] Okay, now let's get back to, to the, these heads and we're gonna have to talk about this a little bit. Hitler's famous Third Reich, which started World War II. Afterwards, the nations decided after World War II is over and what Germany has done three other times, we don't want that to happen. We need to separate this country. So neither side will be powerful enough to plunge the world into World war again.
[00:07:15] So the Bible talks about a wound on one of the heads of the beast. Now we'll have to come back to this point because we still have another hit on the beast to talk about.
[00:07:28] But we know that Germany sustained a 29 mile wound that the rest of the nations of the world imposed upon Germany so that she would never be strong enough to impose war upon the world or plunge war up on the world again.
[00:07:44] That wound was healed in 1989 with the fall of the Berlin Wall. And we'll talk about that a little bit later. As I said before, so we don't want to jump the gun here. The leopard also had four wings of a foul, which is France. The animal symbol of France is the Gaelic rooster. A rooster is a foul. We know the Franks, which is called France. France and Frank is basically the same word, but they were a Germanic people.
[00:08:15] So we know that in history, Germany and France has more than one common ancestor. So this shows that the origin of France originates in Germany.
[00:08:28] So that there's been collaborations. Even when France has been on the size side of allies fighting against Germany, there has been collaborations in the back channels between France and Germany. Remember that classic movie Casablanca? We remember when Captain Renault, who was in Casablanca, who was a French captain of the police there, was very, very cozy with Major Strasser.
[00:08:59] So we can sort of see that if that is life, you know, being a mirror of art, that's certainly what it looks like there.
[00:09:09] That's a, that's a great film by the way. You should go back and watch it if you never have. And Bogart is magnificent in that. Who's the star of that film. The scripture does not tell us that the wings of the foul were plucked off of the the German leopard.
[00:09:27] So does this mean that at some point they joined back together as one country?
[00:09:32] Well, we do know that they are a part of the Holy Roman Empire, which is a future from the scriptures that we're reading today.
[00:09:41] So did it go back into the German, you know, to compile that as one beast as it relates to the next beast that we're going to talk about? Well, we'll have to wait and see. But there certainly is a strong possibility of that.
[00:09:58] And we know that both of them are part of the Holy Roman Empire and that's just ahead of us.
[00:10:02] So I think we'll have the opportunity to see in a very, very short period of time how this will play out over time.
[00:10:10] Now let's continue to read.
[00:10:12] This is Daniel, chapter seven, verse seven.
[00:10:16] And I saw in the night vision and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible and strong exceedingly. And it had great iron teeth and it devoured and break in pieces and stamped the residue with the feet of it. And it was diverse or different from all the other beasts that were before had 10 horns.
[00:10:40] Now this animal did not resemble anything Daniel had ever seen before. He didn't say it looked like an elephant or a rhinoceros or a hippopotamus or something. So he had never seen an animal like this. But he did say that this animal was dreadful and it had great iron teeth and it also had 10 horns.
[00:10:59] Well, the 10 horns. There are 10 kings that are yet twice arise all the the territories. We know that we've talked about France and Germany and Great Britain. But Europe is made up of other territories that maybe not strong enough individually to be mentioned here, but when they join together that makes up a dreadful beast. And the Bible tells us that these beasts are combined and have 10 horns and is a very, very formidable beast which is a combination of all these countries. And so this is an amazing thing here. And so this is going to make up the Holy Roman Empire that we will get to in detail in future lessons. But let's move on now to the New Testament where these beasts or kingdoms, the Bible tells us these beasts are kingdoms are combined into a singular world dominating beast or kingdom.
[00:11:55] This is Revelation chapter 13, verses 1 and 2.
[00:11:59] And I stood upon the sand of the sea and saw a beast rise up out of the sea having ten horns and seven heads and ten crowns upon his heads in the name of blasphemy, verse 2. And the beast which I saw is like unto a leopard had the feet were as the feet of the bear. A mouth was at the mouth of a lion, and the dragon gave him his power, his seat, great authority.
[00:12:29] The first all this shows us that all of the beast of Daniel seven are now joined together into one beast. It has all the heads that, that the, the beast back in Daniel chapter seven had, but they're one beast. Now we see the eagle's wings were gone. And we know why they're gone because the. The word of God tells us that they were plucked from that lion and and was given independence separate from the rest of the beast.
[00:12:56] So we know that America is not going to be a part of this one world conglomerate joined together beast. We also see the beast has 10 horns upon. Upon his horns, 10 crowns.
[00:13:11] So there are 10 kings that are yet to be solidified as kings until a certain point. So that's an event that's just ahead of us.
[00:13:21] And by the time all these things come together, we will be able to see who these ten kings are.
[00:13:26] So we see the solidified beast of all these nations of the Holy Roman Empire, which is what this territory is, joined together with 10 military leaders. And that's what those 10 horns represent. There are 10 kings that are going to be given to this beast. And the ten kings are obviously military kings because that causes the beast to have great iron teeth. A lot of times you have a large body, a country or a continent, but they don't have very much military prowess. But when they do, they're considered to have teeth. And so that's how I would come to that conclusion, that these are military kings that will lend their power to these kings. And we'll know. The Bible says they don't have kingdoms as of yet, but they will be a part of this one kingdom. This compilation beast has the mouth of the lion, which lets us know that the international language of this all these countries joined together will be English. Now, we know this is had this has already been established by the United nations probably at least 10 to 15 years ago. Kofi Annan was the Secretary General of the United nations when this was established and when they came to come to this conclusion. So we know it's been a while and we do know that you have to speak English to be an international pilot on a flight. You have to speak English to be involved in any type of international telecommunications.
[00:15:02] However that is. And to be a part of international police, Interpol and all the other international organizations, you have to be able to speak English to be A part of those. So that has everything to do with the mouth of the lion.
[00:15:18] And this scripture tells us that power was given to this one world compilation beast by the dragon. Well, let's find out who the dragon is.
[00:15:28] This is Revelation, chapter 12, verse 9.
[00:15:33] And the dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil. And Satan which deceived the whole world, he was cast into the earth and his angels cast out with him. Well this establishes to us who the dragon is, who gives this, this conglomerate one world government its power. So it's, it's, it's a malevolent power because the devil is behind it.
[00:16:02] And so that lets us know what this is. This kingdom was given its power by Satan himself. And that's what the scriptures have shown us. We sometimes think coming together with something good is a good idea, but it doesn't always have to be. And this is one of those cases where it's not going to turn out good. And we need to start to learn that. We need to let God tell us what's good. No matter what it looks like to us. We need to let God establish whether something is good or bad, malevolent or benevolent. So we need to know, and this obviously is one of those which is malevolent, totally evil.
[00:16:43] And so the motive of Satan has always been deception.
[00:16:50] You know, he's here to kill, steal and destroy. And through deception is how he does these things. He wants to subvert the power of God, deceive the whole world and force the world to worship him.
[00:17:04] And it certainly looks like he's succeeding in that because we are certainly going down a terrible road. In a lot of cases Satan will control most of the world through fear. The promise of power and deception so much that the world would think it's a good idea.
[00:17:23] And we always paint a picture of Satan ruling and doing things through fear. But some people will think it's a good idea and think it's something good for us to join together and do these things. So through the course of our lessons we'll show Satan's devastating plan for the world that's just ahead of us because there's not a whole lot of time left for it to be a prolonged thing.
[00:17:49] So I know this may be the first time you've heard teachings like this, but we're going to continue to bring you these and, and to show you what the word of God says about these and so you can get used to hearing about it. So when you hear me say, well the Bible says this and the Bible says that I won't always have the time to go back and recite that scripture, but we'll be able to give you those scriptures through lessons like this. And you'll know where that my opinions are coming from and, and be able to follow along for yourself. I will take time to see how we can continue to learn and make these things a part of, you know, what we can know.
[00:18:28] So much so that we can know ourselves and can help other people to know as we draw closer to these things come to pass.
[00:18:36] And so we'll eventually get there. Okay, now let's continue. I'm going to read here Revelation 13, verse 3.
[00:18:45] And I saw one of the heads was wounded unto death. And his deadly wound was healed. And all the world wondered after the beast. This major step uniting kingdom which is the Holy Roman Empire reborn. And so this is one of the major steps as of late. Now we know that when we talk about Recent history is 30 or 40 years to us. But as it relates to time itself is fairly recent.
[00:19:14] I mentioned earlier that the deadly wound of Germany sustained.
[00:19:18] Remember the countries separated Germany so that they couldn't plunge the world into world war. Well, when the world decided to break Germany in two, that was the deadly wound.
[00:19:31] And so they had plunged the world into war as we mentioned before, three other times before they did this. All of this is seen inscription. We'll be able to see relatively short time how these things will apply and how the world is certainly going to wonder after this beast.
[00:19:53] All these things are seen in scripture and so we'll be able to refer back to them. But the deadly womb was the wall that was built in 1961.
[00:20:04] Okay, when was the healing of the womb? Well, that's been recent history as well. 1989, when the Berlin Wall came down, that was the healing of the deadly wound.
[00:20:16] And so this is beginning of what will be called the New World Order. And we know this is, we say the New World Order. That's not a term that is all that recent. We know that that's been on our dollar bill for almost 100 years put there by FDR. And that certainly was something that he saw because he was one of the founding people who wanted to establish the the United Nations. We know that a predecessor of his, Woodrow Wilson, wanted to see that in the League of Nations. And so this has been something that's globalism. And it's been something that Satan has been trying to do for a long, long time.
[00:20:59] And so we called it by different names the New World Order. Globalism. One world government and so this is a worldview that if we can join the world together as one, we can prevent a lot of things like they thought to do after World War II and World War I with the League of Nations and so on and so forth. This is Revelation, chapter 13, verse 4.
[00:21:23] And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast. And they worshiped the beast saying who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?
[00:21:36] And so this is certainly a major thing. And that's when we think about what they're saying here, that certainly is lends itself to one nation, can't fight with itself. One nation with all of us together, certainly would eliminate all of the wars and people looking to settle scores with one with another. And the Scriptures lets us know the beast can be used in correctly in several different ways.
[00:22:04] A beast can be a kingdom or country as well as the ruler or the king of a particular kingdom or country. So sometimes it refers to the beast as a hymn denoting a leader, AKA which will also be known as the Antichrist, which we'll get into more detail in future shows. But it also the term can be associated with beast with the kingdom or the country, or the kingdom and the country along with the ruler. Now the term wandering after the beast also denotes that to admire or to dedicate oneself to a leader, belief system or ideology.
[00:22:46] So we can certainly see that that's starting to happen now. I remember when we fought the Gulf War of 1991, when Saddam Hussein went into Iraq and took those oil wells from Kuwait.
[00:23:00] President Bush 41 said, this is not the United States against Saddam Hussein. This is Saddam Hussein against the world.
[00:23:09] And shortly after they took those territories back and gave them back to Kuwait, President Bush used the term new World Order. Well, we know that's been on the mind of presidents for at least a hundred years. And going back to, you know, way back into into history, that has been the case.
[00:23:29] So the term wandering after the beast can also mean of voluntary.
[00:23:36] You know, submitting yourself to a particular country, belief system, ideology, or being threatened to give your allegiance to them, or being or just submitting it to a particular belief system, country or ideology.
[00:23:53] So all of those things would be to wonder after. Some of it can be voluntary, some of it can be through torture, through threats for your well being.
[00:24:05] Could be done a lot of ways, but the same conclusion can be more than just one way and so or it could be just to come to a conclusion that this way is the only way.
[00:24:19] And if it's not with Jesus Christ sitting on the throne, then it is the wrong way. And so we can certainly know that to honestly believe in, in that belief system, right and correct, practically, physically or spiritually, that way is the only correct way that would fit all of those categories in someone's mind.
[00:24:44] So that certainly could be wandering after the beast as well.
[00:24:48] But people have come to conclusions that join themselves together with people belief systems. One world government is a fantastic thing. A lot of people have come to those conclusions because one army can't fight with itself, one government or one leader can't fight with itself.
[00:25:08] So therefore that would be one way we could get to peace and prosperity and all these different things that we could cut out hunger, we could cut out all kinds of things that cause strife around the world.
[00:25:22] Well, as I said before, if Jesus Christ is the leader of that, then we certainly could do that. And that would be the thing to do. But until that day comes, that is not the thing to do. And I think too that is one of the things now that is held against leaders who do not believe in globalism, one world governance, they believe in the nation state. And therefore that is the cause of a lot of people having certain opinions about certain leaders who believe that it all sounds good, one leader, one world country, one government.
[00:26:00] But when that world government, that one joining with all these together becomes tyrannical, then you got a problem because that tyrannical leader is the head of that one army that you've produced.
[00:26:14] And so this is one of the things that go back to throughout time, even as far back as Nimrod, you know, he, he was putting together one world government way back in that time.
[00:26:29] And so that was what, probably 30 and 800 years ago. And he was trying to do that. And we see how God looked at that and God still sees it that way. Unless we can come together the way God says we should come together, then we know that it's not necessarily something that we should be doing, thinking about or trying to do. And we'll be right back after this message.

[00:27:31] In our fast paced world, we're constantly bombarded with news reports from around the world.
[00:27:37] But none of those traditional news sources understand what's going on in the world from a biblical perspective.
[00:27:44] So here at an amazing thing, we'll bring to you special reports that we like to call moments of clarity when events happen around the world that relate to Bible prophecy and where we are on God's prophetic time clock. We will bring you that report, explain how it does.
[00:28:03] So subscribe to an amazing thing and you won't miss a thing.
[00:28:14] Okay, everybody, this concludes our show. And remember, this is a continuation from the show that we did a few weeks back, America, a nation with a man's heart.
[00:28:25] And so and we're going to have to conclude this with an additional lesson to show what's going to become of this one world government beast that is just ahead of us and what America's role is going to be into in that. And so we certainly have to have another one. And that should be our next early week show unless something in the news happens that preempts all of that. And remember, studies like this is what we we can grow slowly and know what the Bible says about things so we can have not only a practical opinion, but a biblical God opinion about the world that we're living in. One other thing too, our P.O. box has changed. And so we'll have to bring that information when we get a new PO Box or a new traditional mailing address and we'll let you know when we when we get that all straightened out. So omit the traditional mail address, that P.O. box. But our voicemail number if you want to ask a question for our end of the week show, which is 214-699-9045 that's remaining the same. Or if you want to email your question, that is questions amazing thing.com and thank you for joining me. This has been a fantastic lesson. Remember, we'll see you in our next lesson.
