When Andrew Linton first 23 00:01:34,100 --> 00:01:38,900 contacted me and asked, if I would be happy to be part of a 24 00:01:38,908 --> 00:01:44,600 series on end times. I didn't even have to pray about 25 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,700 it. And if I did, it was the 26 00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:49,700 shortest prayer meeting I ever had. 27 00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:56,200 It's so lovely to be in a group of believers. 28 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:03,300 Who You Are? Interested in what the Bible has 29 00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:10,000 to say about the end times. when I was a boy, you know, back when 30 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:17,300 the crust of the Earth was still warm We used to sing a lot. 31 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,900 It was a bit more limited than it is today. 32 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,200 If it wasn't in the red book at never got sung at night and if 33 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,600 it wasn't in the green book, never got sung in the morning. 34 00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:38,100 But between the Green Balkan, the red book, there was a lot to 35 00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:43,400 sing about and a lot of it was about The future. 36 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,700 Is a land that is fairer than day. 37 00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:57,500 And by faith, I can see it afar where the father Waits over the 38 00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:01,500 way. To prepare us a Dwelling Place 39 00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:05,900 there. We're marching to Zion. 40 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:13,600 Beautiful, beautiful, Zion T. I know if you're under 60, you 41 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,300 won't remember these songs but that's okay. 42 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,500 Back then we were going someplace. 43 00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:29,100 We were marching to Zion. you know, we get caught up thinking 44 00:03:29,100 --> 00:03:33,400 about the impact of the past It was Sigmund. 45 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:39,000 Freud who said to us, that what you are today is the result of 46 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,400 what happened to you when you were young. 47 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,000 You were made to eat broccoli and carrots. 48 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,600 And now you are psychologically Disturbed and that's the reason 49 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:59,500 why you've got clipped Mania and charges for shoplifting. 50 00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:03,600 It's not to do with you now, it's to do with what happened 51 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,300 before and everyone bought that line. 52 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:14,700 Sigmund Freud as you know, was an Austrian psychiatrist. and 53 00:04:14,700 --> 00:04:20,600 everyone bought that line because Well, if explained at 54 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,100 least a little bit, they hoped of why things were the way they 55 00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:30,300 were. Until they got in the middle of 56 00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:36,100 World War Two. World War one was done and 57 00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:38,800 dusted and then Along Came World War Two. 58 00:04:41,700 --> 00:04:46,800 And another psychiatrist by the name of Victor Frankl. 59 00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:53,300 Who wrote a very important book about the meaning of life. 60 00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:07,400 He said, if we are the product of our past, And this tomorrow 61 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,200 will be our past. God, help us. 62 00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:18,900 And Viktor Frankl, did a study in the concentration camps of 63 00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:25,200 the Third Reich where he was incarcerated. and he found out 64 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,800 that the people who survived in the people who gave up and 65 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:41,500 succumb, Were distinguished. By their hope. one line didn't 66 00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:48,500 have any and so they gave up but the men who were thinking of 67 00:05:48,500 --> 00:05:53,100 their sweethearts, And her children. 68 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,900 The Men Who were thinking of when the war is done, they would 69 00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:03,200 run on home into the arms of their wives. 70 00:06:04,900 --> 00:06:12,800 Those were the men who dug in deep And had courage. and there, 71 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:20,400 The Men Who lasted and eventually went home. you see 72 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:26,700 the truth is, it's not the past that really matters. 73 00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:33,300 It's the future. And that's why the Lord Jesus 74 00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:38,100 continually directed our attention to the Future. 75 00:06:38,900 --> 00:06:43,000 That's why the Bible has so much to say about the future. 76 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,200 It's not that you're a victim of the past. 77 00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:56,200 No, sir your face is toward the future of which the Bible speaks 78 00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:01,300 and that's where you get your courage and that's where you 79 00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:06,000 find your peace and that's what makes you different from 80 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:12,300 everyone else because now you have motivation and you are 81 00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:16,600 waiting for that wonderful day. When you see the Savior face to 82 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:24,500 face, And he says, well done, good and faithful servant. 83 00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:30,600 And so it's lovely for me to come here and be part of this 84 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,500 series on the future vitally important. 85 00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:44,700 The future controls the present. Never forget it. so, I'm rather 86 00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:50,600 glad And the future for us, as Believers is filled with hope 87 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,500 true. It's good, man. 88 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:02,100 You can say I'm in a little louder as the time progresses. 89 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,600 I thought you might have had indigestion and we're just 90 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:13,400 clearing your throat after lunch in the Bible is Filled with hope 91 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:18,800 everyone's looking for hope. You know, they look at Putin and 92 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,800 they look at what's happening in the Ukraine. 93 00:08:22,900 --> 00:08:24,700 They look what's happening in China. 94 00:08:24,700 --> 00:08:27,500 They look at the problem over Taiwan. 95 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,700 They look at the problems in Africa. 96 00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:38,000 I look at the problems in Europe and everyone is on the edge of 97 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,400 their seats saying what in the world is going to happen? 98 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:49,800 Well, the Bible tells us what's going to happen and and and it 99 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,600 takes us right to the end in the Book of Revelation and not just 100 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,800 their right throughout the scripture, but it gives us a 101 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:07,700 Vista of the future. And the Bible tells us that when 102 00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:13,500 all is done and dusted, and when the dust of the wars have 103 00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:17,800 settled, we have a bright tomorrow. 104 00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:21,300 Amen. Amen. 105 00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:26,800 We have a bright tomorrow. When you look into the Book of 106 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,500 Revelation, or I did it in, the sauna will have no tomorrow. 107 00:09:32,300 --> 00:09:36,100 When you look into the Book of Revelation, the Bright Tomorrow, 108 00:09:36,100 --> 00:09:38,900 essentially focuses on two things. 109 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,100 The first is a Thousand-Year Kingdom on this earth. 110 00:09:45,100 --> 00:09:48,500 Now we believe I take it, if we're reading this book 111 00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:53,700 correctly, that we're expecting the Lord Jesus to come again. 112 00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:58,200 Amen! Amen, we call it the second 113 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,000 coming. Now that's important. 114 00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:06,300 Because if there's a second coming must have been a first 115 00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:09,700 coming. That's simple enough, no Sunday 116 00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:12,900 afternoon, it's warm. We don't want to work too hard. 117 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,900 So if this is a second coming, there must have been a first 118 00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:19,600 coming. And the first coming is when the 119 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,600 Lord Jesus left, heaven and came to Earth. 120 00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:31,200 And he came to Earth, and he was here on this planet for 33 121 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,500 years. That's the first coming. 122 00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:39,900 Now, if the second coming, it's got to be more of the same. 123 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,900 The first coming was from Heaven to Earth. 124 00:10:42,900 --> 00:10:46,700 The second coming is from Heaven to Earth. 125 00:10:47,700 --> 00:10:52,200 Only this time, if we're reading Revelation, 20 correctly, he 126 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,800 will be here for a thousand years and he will establish a 127 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,200 reign of righteousness and peace. 128 00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:05,100 And who, in the name of seven, bald cats doesn't want that. 129 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:12,000 I do, I'm over this world. Every morning, I wake up reach 130 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,900 out for the cell phone, look at the BBC News and think what else 131 00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:18,900 can go wrong, really? And truly. 132 00:11:21,100 --> 00:11:25,600 And so we anticipate the second coming of Christ to Earth to 133 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,300 establish his kingdom and bright tomorrow. 134 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:36,400 Your badge in their Kingdom. You know, by the time, the first 135 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,500 generation of born in that Kingdom. 136 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,800 They won't have a clue about the world that you, and I lived in. 137 00:11:44,300 --> 00:11:49,100 No, we live in a world where there is Ram raids where there's 138 00:11:49,900 --> 00:11:56,400 brutality with his corruption with his drugs, with as rape 139 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,200 with this incest, where there's elder abuse. 140 00:12:01,700 --> 00:12:05,300 Will we live in a sick and sad world? 141 00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:10,100 But the first generation in that Thousand-Year Kingdom won't have 142 00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:14,100 a clue about the world. We lived in, they'll be living 143 00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:19,100 in a world, the like of which this planet has not seen since 144 00:12:19,100 --> 00:12:25,600 the days of the Garden of Eden. And if we talk to them about 145 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,400 Sin, they want to know what it's about. 146 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,200 You know, they'll be no cell phones and there will be no 147 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:35,000 pornography. I was driving through Korea, 148 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,300 happy Road, the other night and I saw a shop called peaches and 149 00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:41,300 cream.

There will be no channels that 155 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,800 you can get privately. And and and feed on that stuff. 156 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,000 So it'll be gone. People won't be tempted the way 157 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,600 you and I attempted here. Sinners in your face there. 158 00:13:13,300 --> 00:13:17,100 No, sir.

And you got a bottle of milk and 186 00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:30,500 you didn't dare by The Herald or any other worldly extra and your 187 00:15:30,500 --> 00:15:33,100 hightailed it back into the car and home you win. 188 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:41,400 And they're at home was a roast of lamb, remember those days 189 00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:45,200 when lamb was cheaper than chicken? 190 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,200 Back, then chickens were expensive. 191 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:54,200 You only had them when important people came to dinner and 192 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,400 there's a kid. I can remember the days when we 193 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,000 had chicken, I didn't look up and say these people don't. 194 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,300 Look that important. I got to tell you that the rest 195 00:16:02,300 --> 00:16:07,600 of the time you had lamb, the reverse of today and you'd open 196 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:15,000 the door as she went home from church and You could smell the 197 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,100 mint, you could smell the Rosemary. 198 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,600 Hmm. And there was a pot of gravy 199 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,100 that mom had made before we went to church. 200 00:16:24,300 --> 00:16:27,900 And it was simmering on the stove and then Dad would take 201 00:16:27,900 --> 00:16:33,600 the Lamb of roast and had put it on the carving board and Head 202 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,300 Start into it. And he'd get down to those 203 00:16:37,300 --> 00:16:40,700 crispy bits on the shank end. You know what I'm talking about. 204 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,500 And then he would cut a little bit off. 205 00:16:45,700 --> 00:16:49,500 Now up until then it's anticipation. 206 00:16:51,500 --> 00:16:55,600 Smells so good. But when he cut the little bit 207 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,700 off and put it on the carving fork and gave it to you. 208 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,300 Well, that was a foretaste. There's a difference between 209 00:17:04,300 --> 00:17:09,800 anticipation and a foretaste. The foretaste is when you've got 210 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:18,400 the lamb between your teeth and your thinking is more to come, 211 00:17:20,300 --> 00:17:22,099 now, that's a millennial Kingdom. 212 00:17:23,099 --> 00:17:28,800 Right now, we read the word and we anticipate, but when the 213 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:33,800 kingdom comes and the Lord Jesus returns, he's carving off a 214 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,900 little bit of paradise, and he saying taste this. 215 00:17:41,500 --> 00:17:47,000 You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet. Around the corner, there is an 216 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:53,300 eternal world where all the wrongs will be righted. 217 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,400 And righteousness will reign forever. 218 00:18:00,300 --> 00:18:07,100 Wow, we got a bright tomorrow. Fanta while the Bible is 219 00:18:07,100 --> 00:18:10,500 optimistic. It's also realistic. 220 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,100 Before the second coming of Christ as big trouble. 221 00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:22,200 We're longing for the bright tomorrow. 222 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,800 But before that, the Bible says, this going to be a time of big 223 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:32,300 trouble and so Revelation, 20 and 21, and 22, take you into 224 00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:37,600 the millennial Kingdom and Beyond into that wonderful City, 225 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:43,000 the Jerusalem, that is above, and it describes all the glory 226 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,900 of that Heavenly City before that you've got to go through 227 00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:49,400 chapters 6 through 18. Oh that's big. 228 00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:51,900 Trouble. You start reading this and you 229 00:18:51,900 --> 00:18:56,800 think holy smoke. I'm never read anything like 230 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:02,000 this before. Look at what God is going to do 231 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:09,000 to the world. We call this the tribulation 232 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,900 period. Things will get much worse. 233 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:20,600 Before they get better. But things will eventually get 234 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,800 much better after they got worse. 235 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:34,100 This seven-year period. According to the Book of Daniel 236 00:19:34,100 --> 00:19:39,600 and the Book of Revelation, involves these judgments seven, 237 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:44,500 seal judgments, seven, trumpet, judgments seven Bowl, judgments. 238 00:19:46,300 --> 00:19:52,000 And these judgments are poured out on the whole world. 239 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:58,100 No one will escape. The reason that God is going to 240 00:19:58,108 --> 00:20:01,400 pour these judgments out on the whole world, is because the 241 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:08,700 world has earned it This is the wages of sin, paying a premium 242 00:20:08,700 --> 00:20:12,800 price. The nations of this world that 243 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:17,800 were meant to govern the the, the nations of the world, the 244 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,000 governments that were meant to govern them have abandoned God. 245 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,100 Long time ago, it's all gone out the window. 246 00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:28,700 Back when I was a boy you knew you were born. 247 00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:30,900 A boy cuz they dressed you in blue. 248 00:20:30,900 --> 00:20:34,500 And you knew you were a girl because they dressed you in pink 249 00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:36,300 now. If they had any doubt it was 250 00:20:36,300 --> 00:20:43,200 kind of a murky orange and and they weren't sure And now we're 251 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,800 in a weird world. Everything nailed down is coming 252 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:52,000 loose. Everything that used to be rock. 253 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:58,300 Solid has been smashed to pieces. it's not that we've 254 00:20:58,300 --> 00:21:02,100 stopped thinking, it's that they've taken away the stuff we 255 00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:06,200 used to think with That's what's happened? 256 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,300 And now we're in a sad world and eventually. 257 00:21:12,700 --> 00:21:16,500 God is going to say gentlemen, it's closing time. 258 00:21:19,900 --> 00:21:23,800 You've had your day. Now, this is my day. 259 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,400 And the Book of Revelation doesn't beat around the bush. 260 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,700 It spends all of those chapters from chapter 6, through to 261 00:21:32,700 --> 00:21:39,900 chapter 18, describing the most incredible suffering and 262 00:21:39,900 --> 00:21:42,000 judgment. That is going to come upon this 263 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,000 world and the dominant personality in the middle of it. 264 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:52,500 All Is the man, the Bible calls the Antichrist. 265 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:59,000 I looked for a picture this morning to put up Antichrist. 266 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,500 It blew me away. They were all of these demonic 267 00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:09,100 kind of looking things that were weird and they had long 268 00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:12,400 fingernails and long teeth and sunken eyes. 269 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,700 And just to look at them reminded you of your baby 270 00:22:16,700 --> 00:22:25,200 pictures. Well, that's a trick of the 271 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,500 devil. I mean anyone who saw that would 272 00:22:29,500 --> 00:22:34,000 save your Antichrist, I know your mother. 273 00:22:39,100 --> 00:22:42,200 But Antichrist as the Bible describes him. 274 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,200 Isn't that kind of figure, you know, that's what the world 275 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,200 does. It takes the devil makes them 276 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:54,300 into a cartoon character with a forked tail and with horns and a 277 00:22:54,308 --> 00:22:58,700 pitchfork as if anyone believed in that stuff and they do the 278 00:22:58,700 --> 00:23:03,400 same with Antichrist. Now Antichrist I think is going 279 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,800 to look like the most amazing person we've ever seen. 280 00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:12,300 I think he's probably going to be tall and handsome but that's 281 00:23:12,300 --> 00:23:21,300 where our similarities finish and I think we would be better 282 00:23:21,300 --> 00:23:23,100 to call him mr. Suave. 283 00:23:24,900 --> 00:23:28,000 Or this guy's going to have golden lips. 284 00:23:28,700 --> 00:23:32,700 This guy's going to have eyes that can see through any 285 00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:39,300 situation. And we read about him in the 286 00:23:39,300 --> 00:23:47,100 Bible. In three major sections. in 287 00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:52,800 Daniel, he's described in chapter 7, chapter 8 and chapter 288 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:58,600 11 and chapter 9 As the little horn now that makes you want to 289 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,300 know more than that. Why is he called the little 290 00:24:02,300 --> 00:24:07,600 horn? And then, when you get to the 291 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:12,400 book of the Revelation in Chapter 13 and then chapter 17, 292 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:17,400 he's called The Beast. And then when you get into the 293 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:22,100 third major chapter and second Thessalonians chapter 2, he's 294 00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:26,800 called the man of sin and there's a reason for that. 295 00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:32,900 It's because he's promoting sin. It's because he's full of sin 296 00:24:33,700 --> 00:24:38,000 and because he's the instrument of Satan in a way that no other 297 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:43,200 human being has been He is the man of sin. 298 00:24:44,100 --> 00:24:47,600 Now, I wish that we had ours together so we could go through 299 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,300 this because the subject material is so extensive. 300 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:56,500 We don't have it but you have a Bible will take a reading in 301 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,200 Daniel chapter 7. If you bought half a Bible, you 302 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,600 got the wrong Hearth. I can guarantee you. 303 00:25:03,300 --> 00:25:08,600 So you need an Old Testament to balance the New Testament, as we 304 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,800 look at the person of antichrist. 305 00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:22,500 Daniel chapter 7. This is a long reading. 306 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,200 But it's far more important for you. 307 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,500 And I to hear the word of God, then to hear me. 308 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,200 And the first year of belshazzar, King of Babylon, 309 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,600 Daniel had a dream and Visions passed through his mind as he 310 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,800 was lying on his bed. He wrote down the substance of 311 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,400 his dream. Daniel said in my vision at 312 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,800 night, I looked and there before me were the Four Winds of 313 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,000 Heaven, churning up the great sea four. 314 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,400 Great beasts each different from the others came up out of the 315 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,400 sea. The first was like a lion and 316 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,300 that had The wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were 317 00:26:04,300 --> 00:26:08,400 torn off and it was lifted from the ground so that it stood on 318 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,800 two feet like a man and the heart of a man was given to it. 319 00:26:13,300 --> 00:26:18,200 And there before me was a second beast which looked like a bear. 320 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,300 It was raised up on one of its sides and had three ribs in its 321 00:26:22,300 --> 00:26:26,700 mouth between its teeth. It was told get up and eat your 322 00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:31,100 fill of Flesh. After that, I looked and there 323 00:26:31,100 --> 00:26:35,500 before me was another Beast, one that looked like a leopard and 324 00:26:35,500 --> 00:26:40,000 on its back had had four wings. Like those of a bird this Beast 325 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,100 had four heads and it was given authority to rule. 326 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,300 After that, in my vision at night, I looked. 327 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,500 And there before me was a fourth Beast, terrifying, and 328 00:26:57,500 --> 00:27:03,700 frightening, and very powerful. It had large iron teeth, it 329 00:27:03,700 --> 00:27:07,000 crushed, and devoured, its victims, and Trampled Under 330 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,700 Foot, whatever was left. And it was different from all 331 00:27:10,700 --> 00:27:14,800 the former beasts and it had ten horns. 332 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,600 While there was thinking about the horns there, before me was 333 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:24,600 another horn, a little one, which came up among them and 334 00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:29,800 three of the first horns were uprooted before it, this horn 335 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,100 had many eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth. 336 00:27:33,100 --> 00:27:38,600 That spoke boastfully as I looked Thrones were set in place 337 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,100 and the Ancient of Days took his seat. 338 00:27:41,500 --> 00:27:43,700 His clothing was as white as snow. 339 00:27:43,700 --> 00:27:46,200 The hair of his head was white. Cool. 340 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,200 His throne was flaming with fire and it's Wheels were. 341 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,400 All Ablaze a river of fire was flowing. 342 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,800 Coming out from before him and thousands upon thousands 343 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:02,100 attended him Ten Thousand Times Ten Thousand stood before him. 344 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:07,900 This is God, the father and the court was seated in the books 345 00:28:07,900 --> 00:28:11,600 were opened that will connect you through to the Book of 346 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,500 Revelation chapter 20, then I continued to watch because 347 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,800 because of the boastful words, the horn was speaking. 348 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,300 That's a little horn. Now What's Happening Here is 349 00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:27,800 that Daniel has seen the kingdoms of this world as they 350 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,700 have the Empire's that rule the world, one after the other. 351 00:28:31,700 --> 00:28:38,200 And this final one after the kingdoms of Babylon, after the 352 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:43,200 kingdom of Greece, after the kingdom of medo-persia is the 353 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:48,000 kingdom of Rome this terrifying. Buying Kingdom the fourth Beast. 354 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,800 It says in verse 7, terrifying and frightening, and very 355 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,400 powerful. And it had ten horns. 356 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:01,900 And and these ten horns it turns out at 10 Kings. 357 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:08,000 So there is an Empire that's going to exist future from the 358 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:14,700 vision of Daniel, that is going to be terrifyingly strong than 359 00:29:14,700 --> 00:29:17,900 any of the other kingdoms, the world has seen. 360 00:29:18,300 --> 00:29:25,100 And and it's going to have ten horns on the top of its head and 361 00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:29,800 eventually Lee, there's going to be a little horn that's going to 362 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:35,600 come up displace. Three of the ten horns and then 363 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,100 that little horn is going to rule. 364 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,100 That's what verse 11 is about. Then I continued to watch 365 00:29:43,100 --> 00:29:46,400 because of the boastful words, the horn was speaking. 366 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,200 That's the little horn, I kept looking until the Beast was 367 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:55,700 slain and its body destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire. 368 00:29:56,300 --> 00:29:59,500 The other beasts had been stripped of their Authority but 369 00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:02,000 were allowed to live for a period of time. 370 00:30:02,300 --> 00:30:08,300 This is the empires of Babylon of Greece of medo-persia, and 371 00:30:08,300 --> 00:30:12,900 then of Rome and in my vision at night, I looked and there before 372 00:30:12,900 --> 00:30:16,000 me was one like a son of man coming with the Clouds Of 373 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,800 Heaven. This is the Lord Jesus. 374 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,800 He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his 375 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,500 presence. He was given Authority Glory, 376 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,800 Sovereign power, All Peoples, and Nations, and Men of every 377 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,900 language worshipped him. His Dominion is an everlasting 378 00:30:33,900 --> 00:30:36,200 Dominion that will not pass away. 379 00:30:36,700 --> 00:30:40,300 Hallelujah. And his kingdom is one that will 380 00:30:40,300 --> 00:30:45,000 never be destroyed. I Daniel was troubled in spirit 381 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,600 and the visions that pass through my mind Disturbed, me, I 382 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,500 approached one of those standing there and asked him, the true 383 00:30:51,500 --> 00:30:54,600 meaning of all this. So he told me and gave me the 384 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,800 interpretation of these things. The four Great beasts are four 385 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,000 kingdoms that will rise from the Earth but the Saints of the most 386 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,800 high will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever. 387 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,600 Yes. Forever and ever. 388 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:16,700 So one day Messiah is going to return, he's going to establish 389 00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:22,200 his kingdom and there will be no other kingdoms that Kingdom will 390 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:27,000 last forever and ever. And you and I will be part of 391 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,100 it. Then I wanted to know the true 392 00:31:30,100 --> 00:31:33,100 meaning of the fourth Beast, which was different from all the 393 00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:37,300 others, and most terrifying, with its iron teeth and bronze 394 00:31:37,300 --> 00:31:39,600 claws. The Beast that crushed and 395 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,400 devoured, its victims, and trampled, underfoot whatever was 396 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,000 left. What an apt description of the 397 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,600 Roman Empire. Verse 20. 398 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,700 I also wanted to know about the 10 horns on its head and about 399 00:31:53,700 --> 00:31:57,000 the other horn that came up before, which three of them 400 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,200 fell, the horn that looked more imposing than the others and 401 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,800 that had eyes and a mouth. That spoke boastfully. 402 00:32:05,300 --> 00:32:09,200 As I watched this horn was Waging War against the Saints 403 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:14,200 and defeating them until the Ancient of Days, came and 404 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,900 pronounced judgment in favor of the Saints of the most high. 405 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:23,400 And the time came when they possess the kingdom, he gave me 406 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,300 this explanation. The fourth Beast is a fourth 407 00:32:26,300 --> 00:32:28,100 Kingdom that will appear on Earth. 408 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,500 It will be different from the other kingdoms and will devour 409 00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:35,300 the whole earth, trembling it down and crushing it. 410 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,900 Then the ten horns are Ten Kings who will come from this Kingdom 411 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,500 as has never happened yet, in the ancient Roman Empire, 412 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,100 because the word of God must be be fulfilled. 413 00:32:49,100 --> 00:32:54,400 This is yet to happen, otherwise scripture isn't true. 414 00:32:55,500 --> 00:32:59,200 Then the ten coins are Ten Kings who will come from this Kingdom 415 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,400 after them. Another king will arise 416 00:33:01,700 --> 00:33:06,000 different from the earlier ones, he will subdue three kings. 417 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,300 This is a man. We call Antichrist. 418 00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:12,000 He will speak against the most high and oppresses Saints, and 419 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,500 tried to change the set X and the laws. 420 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,000 The Saints will be handed over to. 421 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:22,700 Him for a time times and half a time, three and a half years or 422 00:33:22,700 --> 00:33:28,900 1260 days, but the court will sit and his power in this 423 00:33:28,900 --> 00:33:31,900 lovely. His power will be taken away and 424 00:33:31,900 --> 00:33:36,300 completely destroyed forever. Then the sovereignty power and 425 00:33:36,300 --> 00:33:39,800 greatness of the kingdoms. Under the whole heaven will be 426 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:45,200 handed over to the Saints. The people of the most high, his 427 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,000 kingdom will be an everlasting Kingdom. 428 00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:52,300 Mm and all rulers will worship and Obey him. 429 00:33:52,300 --> 00:33:56,100 This is the end of the matter. Don't you love it. 430 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:02,500 So, here is the rise of the Roman Empire and then suddenly, 431 00:34:02,500 --> 00:34:06,400 we see another phase of the Roman Empire, where there are 432 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,600 Ten Kings in attend, Kingdom Confederacy. 433 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:16,800 And then out of them comes this little horn, ten horns. 434 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:21,000 But up comes a little Horn displaces, three of the original 435 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,100 horns, three of the original Kings. 436 00:34:24,100 --> 00:34:30,800 And then he is the guy who takes over and rules for three and a 437 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:37,000 half years and he imposes his strength on the whole world. 438 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,900 Now as we go through scripture, we find that this is called 439 00:34:41,900 --> 00:34:44,600 Antichrist. The interesting thing is 440 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:49,400 Antichrist is only found five times in the Bible all of them 441 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,199 in the letters of First John and second John. 442 00:34:53,500 --> 00:34:57,600 And so when it comes to Antichrist, these are the 443 00:34:58,100 --> 00:35:03,700 defining versus he talks about Antichrist with a small. 444 00:35:03,700 --> 00:35:07,800 A, there are many antichrists that have gone out into the 445 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,100 world. These are the people who are 446 00:35:10,100 --> 00:35:14,300 opposed Christ, anyone who opposes Christ the Bible would 447 00:35:14,300 --> 00:35:20,200 call an antichrist. But then John talks about in 448 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:25,600 first John 2:18 the Antichrist and this is Antichrist with a 449 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:33,300 capital A and he is anticipating here a real person not just a 450 00:35:33,300 --> 00:35:40,100 movement but a real individual called the capital A Antichrist 451 00:35:40,100 --> 00:35:45,400 who is coming and John writes to his readers and says you know 452 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:51,800 that Antichrist is On his way, many small antichrists have gone 453 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:56,600 out into the world, but the big gun is just around the corner 454 00:35:57,500 --> 00:36:00,200 and what do we mean when we call him? 455 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,900 And he Christ, we mean, first of all that he is against Christ 456 00:36:04,900 --> 00:36:08,600 but we mean more than that, we mean that he is going to come 457 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,900 into the world as if he were Christ. 458 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,300 In other words, he's going to establish a kingdom. 459 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:19,300 He's going to rule, he's going to Act, as if he were the 460 00:36:19,300 --> 00:36:24,000 Messiah, he's going to claim to be Messiah as you go through. 461 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:28,500 Daniel 8, Daniel 9. Daniel 11, as you go into 462 00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:33,100 Revelation, 13, Revelation 17, much more stuff than we can deal 463 00:36:33,100 --> 00:36:35,400 with this evening. You will find that. 464 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:41,700 He works lying wonders and lying miracles in order to credential 465 00:36:41,700 --> 00:36:46,900 eyes himself as the legitimate ruler of the world. 466 00:36:47,900 --> 00:36:54,400 Now, you can see this old setting up here, we are in kind 467 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,800 of a paralysis. We're saying what in the world 468 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:02,300 is going to happen next in the fun to be alive and watch all 469 00:37:02,308 --> 00:37:04,700 this? When you know, the end of the 470 00:37:04,700 --> 00:37:09,600 story? There's, you know, my friends 471 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,000 don't like going to the movies with me cuz I never get it. 472 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,200 I'm the dumb boy, who annoys everyone and said, well, what do 473 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,000 you say that for? Why is he doing this? 474 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:25,700 I never ever get it, but when I get to the end of the story, and 475 00:37:25,700 --> 00:37:28,400 I see what happened, then I can go back and watch the movie 476 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,700 again because I understand what's going on. 477 00:37:32,100 --> 00:37:36,000 Well, that's the position that we're in, we've seen the end. 478 00:37:36,100 --> 00:37:40,100 End of the story, there's going to be a kingdom that comes that 479 00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:44,900 will never pass away and it doesn't belong to Antichrist. 480 00:37:44,900 --> 00:37:51,200 It belongs to the Christ Jesus himself and he's going to 481 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:55,300 establish his kingdom and that Kingdom will last forever and 482 00:37:55,300 --> 00:37:58,500 ever. Its initial form is a foretaste 483 00:37:58,500 --> 00:38:02,700 but just around the corner is eternity and he will reign 484 00:38:02,700 --> 00:38:06,000 forever and ever. And we as the Saints of the most 485 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,600 Whilst I will reign with him. So put a smile on your dial. 486 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:11,800 Come on. I want. 487 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,600 I want to see some enjoyment at this point. 488 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,600 This is our future, it's wonderful. 489 00:38:19,100 --> 00:38:21,500 Don't worry about dying. You're going to come back. 490 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,000 Abraham will be in this Kingdom. David will be. 491 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,700 In this Kingdom. Moses will be in this Kingdom. 492 00:38:27,900 --> 00:38:30,100 Elijah will be in this Kingdom, you. 493 00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:32,200 And I will be part of this Kingdom. 494 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,900 It's a fantastic story. This guy. 495 00:38:36,100 --> 00:38:40,900 Guy is going to be against Christ and think he is Christ. 496 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,100 So there are the three Central passages. 497 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,500 First point I want to leave with you. 498 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,200 Let's go fast, he's a real person. 499 00:38:50,300 --> 00:38:53,900 When the Bible speaks about him, it says he will subdue. 500 00:38:53,900 --> 00:38:57,000 He will speak, he will subdue. He will speak. 501 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,200 He will confirm the man of lawlessness, the man doomed to 502 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,100 destruction. He will exalt himself. 503 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,000 So what the Bible is predicting is that there is a human being 504 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:12,100 tucked away somewhere. He may be alive today, No one 505 00:39:12,100 --> 00:39:17,300 knows where we've got his profile from scripture but we 506 00:39:17,300 --> 00:39:21,700 can't identify him and that was the same with the Lord Jesus. 507 00:39:21,900 --> 00:39:26,800 We got his profile from the Old Testament, but not on Testament. 508 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,300 Didn't say in his name will be called Jesus of Nazareth. 509 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,100 No, no, you have to wait for Matthew chapter. 14. 510 00:39:34,100 --> 00:39:37,900 That one know we had the profile. 511 00:39:37,900 --> 00:39:39,800 Well, it's the same as Antichrist. 512 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,900 We've got the profile and he's a real person. 513 00:39:43,500 --> 00:39:48,500 He's probably a gentile. He arises out of the sea 514 00:39:48,500 --> 00:39:53,500 Revelation 13:1 of the nation's. He comes from the city of Seven 515 00:39:53,500 --> 00:39:56,800 Hills, that's the ancient name for Rome. 516 00:39:57,100 --> 00:40:01,500 The ruler is from the people who will destroy Jerusalem in ad 70. 517 00:40:01,700 --> 00:40:05,100 That was wrong. He makes a covenant with Israel 518 00:40:05,100 --> 00:40:11,900 that ensures Gentile protection. Would you have believed it 519 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,300 Netanyahu is back? Lives. 520 00:40:17,300 --> 00:40:22,300 Trust knows that a week and politics is not long. 521 00:40:23,900 --> 00:40:28,000 Anything Can Happen who would have thought after they all 522 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:33,500 climbed all over Netanyahu.
