Verse 18: “But the saints of the Most High shall receive the Kingdom and possess the Kingdom forever, even forever and ever.”
Notice how v 19 ties in with Dan. 10:21: “Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, whose teeth were of iron and his nails of brass; who devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with his feet; and of the ten horns that were on his head, and of the other horn which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth speaking very boastful things, whose appearance was greater than his fellows. I watched, and that same horn made war with the saints and overcame them… [that’s the papacy] …until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High…. (vs 19-22).
Here’s where they may say that the Father comes to the earth at the beginning of the Millennium. But it doesn’t say that He came to the earth.
“…And the time came that the saints possessed the Kingdom” (v 22). We don’t possess it without the Father giving it to Christ and Christ giving it to us! In that sense He came to fulfill this prophecy. He didn’t come to the earth; doesn’t say that He came to the earth.
Verse 23: “Thus he said, ‘The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be different from all the other kingdoms and shall devour the whole earth, and shall trample it and break it in pieces.’”
You look around, everything accept maybe some parts of the Orient, are patterned after Rome. All of our government buildings are patterned after Rome. Even in Congress, they have the symbol of Mussolini, the axe on top of a sheaf of wheat.
Verse 24: “And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise. And another shall arise after them. And he shall be different from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak words against the Most High…” (vs 24-25). Both of them do!
We find that the beast (Rev. 13) blasphemes everybody in heaven, and the one in Rev. 17 speaks words against the Mort High.
“…and shall wear out the saints of the Most High…” (v 25). That's the whole history of the Church down through the time until America was founded, really when you get down to it1
“…and think to change the set times… [the times that God sets: Sabbath, Passover and Holy Days] …and the laws. And they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and one-half time” (v 25). The persecution down through time, and then there’s a persecution right at the end all over again.
Verse 26: “But the judgment shall sit, and his dominion shall be taken away to be consumed and to be destroyed unto the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, Whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. And all kingdoms shall serve and obey Him” (vs 26-27).
{please refer to the chart: Right column—Events fulfilled in History}
Under The Roman Empire we have the Roman Catholic Church in the west and the Orthodox in the east. We have the Greek Orthodox and the Russian Orthodox
Then the three kingdoms which were taken out: the Vandals, the Heruli and the Ostrogoths.
Then we have the papacy in a stronger position after that
Then there are seven more resurrections of the Roman Empire with an eighth one to come.
{coming down to the Holy Roman Empire in 962 A.D.} I wonder if this will happen with the final Beast Power and be crowned by the pope?
Hapsburg dynasty--the Austrian Hungarian Empire!
Notice that all of these, when you come beginning with Napoleon, they tried to conquer all of Europe and all three of them tried to go into Russia: Napoleon, Kaiser and Hitler. They all tried to control it. We will see that that’s already settled, and people don’t even know it.
The Bismarck/Germany
If you watch the History Channel you can see quite a bit concerning WWI and WWII, and you talk about how bloody it was in WWI, I mean it was terrible. It was really a slaughter. More soldiers between soldiers. In WWII was a lot of killing of civilians and bombing and burning.
Then the final world government
We have covered the reports how that the pope has specifically said that God willed for there to be different ‘religions,’ and that they’re all coming to the same place. Everyone of these religions believe in going to heaven: Catholicism, Orthodox, Islam, all the eastern religions have a variation of incarnation and final nirvana, which would be like going to heaven. They’re making overtures to try and work things together.
Remember we covered how they’re going to build that Chrislam cathedral, temple, whatever in Abu Dhabi. It will be interesting to see what happens then. Will there be the third vision of Fatima? What will that tell us? All of those things have yet to happen. How far it is down the road, we do not know.
Revelation 17:1: “And one of the seven angels who had the seven vials came and spoke with me, saying to me, ‘Come here; I will show you the judgment of the great whore who sits upon many waters.’”
The Church is likened to a woman (Rev. 12). The false church is likened to a woman who is harlot and she “…sits upon many waters.”
Let the Bible interpret the Bible; v 15: “Then he said to me, ‘The waters that you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages.” That’s exactly what the Catholic Church is! Then you throw in all of the other religions.
By the way, do you know what the pope said about communism? Communism is much like Christianity! In other words, the same dictatorial system in the Catholic Church is no different than the dictatorial system that the communist have. Only one is ‘religious’ and one is secular and anti-religious.
Verse 2: “With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication…”
Catholicism and religion is always involved in politics. Look what we have today, wherever it is. Some of it with the Protestants may be a smidgen better. But nevertheless, they still follow Rome. They claim to follow the Bible, and they do to a certain extent.
That’s not physical fornication, that is spiritual fornication, “…and those who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication” (v 2).
Do you want to know how that works, look at how people today are going after Christmas. It’s an amazing thing! They think it’s good. I got a magazine and on the cover it says: Christmas Begins with Christ! When you’re drunk you can’t see straight.
Verse 3: “Then he carried me away in the spirit to a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast that had seven heads and ten horns, full of names of blasphemy”--all of them!
This chart that we have in Appendix Y explains all of that leading up to today.
Verse 4: “And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and was adorned with gold and pearls and precious stones…”
Do this: Christmas Mass is coming up pretty soon. Midnight in Rome is not midnight here. So, why don’t you watch it and look at all of the idolatry that goes on with it. Look at what the pope drinks out of for the Eucharist. It’s a big golden cup!
“…and she had a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominations and the filthiness of her fornication; and across her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” (vs 4-5).
Lots of times we just look and say harlots is just the religion. Well the abominations of the earth, part of the fallout of that is all the atheism, agnosticism and all of the terrible things that go on. They are terrible and evil! Look at the public schools here in California. They’re indoctrinating them into sexual things in the second and third grade. The ones who are pushing it are the alphabet perverts! Once they get in control…
Remember what happened in Sodom when the three angels went down to take Lot out? They about tore down Lot’s house to try and get to the three angels! Then the angels made them blind, and in the morning the angels took Lot and his family out. They said, ‘Get out! Get out! You have to leave!’ And Lot’s wife didn’t believe! That’s quite a story. It must have been terrible destruction that happened, because the two daughters said, ‘Look, there’s nobody else alive around, so let’s get our father drunk and have children so that the human race will continue.’ Abominations of the earth!
I’ll tell you one big abomination of the earth, who supposedly killed himself in his cell while no one was looking. Two things for President Trump even if you don’t like him:
1. he has stopped an awful lot of this sexual trafficking
2. he has helped bring down abortions by about 200,000
That’s a lot!
As we saw with Nebuchadnezzar, God does deal with the leaders, and those who acknowledge God He will honor. How much Trump does it in his private life, I do not know. He’s still blinded by Christmas and all this sort of thing.
Verse 6: “And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus….” Two categories:
1) those are the saints who are converted
2) the martyrs are those who believe but were never converted
God doesn’t forget them either!
“…And after seeing her, I wondered with great amazement. Then the angel said to me, ‘Why are you amazed? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. The beast that you saw was, and is not, but is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into perdition…..’” (vs 6-8). This is the last one!
“…And those who dwell on the earth, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world…” (v 8).
It’s not that their names are there from the foundation of the earth, it is the Book of Life was there from the foundation of the earth.
“…shall be astonished when they see the beast that was, but is not, and yet, is” (v 8).
Delores and I have talked about this a lot, and she right on this. The beast that was and is not, and yet is, and shall come up again can be nothing other than Europe as a geographical and governmental and religious territory!
Bismarck, Hitler and Napoleon all tried to conquer Russia, but what has happened today? Have you heard of NATO? We’ve thought that was a good, wonderful American alliance, which it was at the time. But 75 years later, what has happened? All of the territory that those three tried to conquer is now part of NATO or seeking to become a member of NATO! You have Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, and then you have Romania, Hungry, Greece, Macedonia, Croatia, and Sardinia. All of those are either full members or part members of NATO.
What does Pres. Trump want to do in that area? He wants them to pay more for the military! He wants to remove American troops!
What is happening in the UK? Boris Johnson looks like he’s going to win in a landslide! That means that the UK will be out of the European Union! They may be temporarily attached to it militarily, but they’re out! What does that do? That puts the two sons of Jacob--Ephraim and Manasseh--outside of the world system for the time being!
Let me read you what’s happening and you will see that Delores was right:
Article: November Drumming {https://www.german-foreign-policy.com/en/news/detail/8103/}
Berlin: Leading German politicians are calling for a more aggressive German and EU foreign and military policy, in the run-up to tomorrow’s Bundeswehr public oath-taking ceremony.
They take that oath every year, and that is quite a thing. The Valkyrie! Tom Cruise was the main one in the movie and they showed how they tried to assassinate Hitler and they killed some other German leaders. These troops are honored and those who belonged to that every year! They take the oath that never again will there be that kind of dictator. So, the dictator that comes into Europe is going to come in righteous at first, and he won’t take the dictatorial powers until a little later.
But let’s see that now that is beginning to become a reality. How many years will that take? Who knows! How many years did it take Hitler when he became chancellor? Twelve years!
“Europe must learn the language of power,” says Ursula von der Leyen, the designated EU Commission President, and is demanding to “build our own muscles” militarily.
Now that the UK is out, who is the power? Germany! The beast that was, is not—it came to nothing—and yet is. There you go!
German Foreign Minster Heiko Maas proposes the creation of a 'European Security Council"…
So, it’s involving all members!
…with the inclusion of Great Britain…
That will be temporary!
…because the targeted "Army of the Europeans" cannot forego its armed forces. Berlin has simultaneously approved billions in arms projects. The Bundestag’s budget committee, for example, has approved more than half a billion euros, to also benefit NATO’s “Spearhead,” while the defense committee has approved the procurement of 80 Leopard 2A7V battle tanks worth around 1 billion. To increase acceptance of the Bundeswehr’s foreign missions, the chancellor is calling for support of tomorrow's public oath-taking ceremonies.
What they’re now doing is saying that all the German people are cleansed. ‘We have suffered all of this and we have learned our lessons. We want to help build up Europe,’ because they know that the United States is going go. After we leave, that’s when things will start to happen.
The Language of Power
Following Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer's announcement, last week, of expanding the deployment of the Bundeswehr…
Where are they going to deploy them? German troops will be with French troops, Italian troops, Polish troops, Ukrainian troops and all of that sort of thing.
…leading German politicians have upped the ante and emphatically called for a more aggressive German and EU foreign and military policy. In her speech at the CDU affiliated Konrad Adenauer Foundation, last Friday, in the German capital, designated EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen claimed that “soft power” is no longer enough in today's world…
They’re getting strong!
…and "Europe must learn the language of power.”….
What is it that your hear? Power makes things work!
[1] On the one hand, “this means building our own muscles” in security policy. On the other, the Union must become "more strategic in light of Europe’s external interests.” Under von der Leyen, the Commission is pursuing its arms buildup plan for the EU, with double-digit billions in euros. [2] Regarding "high-end military capabilities,” EU member states need "full-spectrum land, air, space and maritime capabilities,” according to the “Global Strategy for the European Union,” adopted in 2016. [3] Critics keep insisting that financing military expenditures from EU coffers is inadmissible under the EU treaties—but in vain.
They can just say, ‘we’ll change that.’
Revelation 17:8: “The beast that you saw was, and is not, but is about to come up out of the abyss…”
How does Satan always come? With a benefit! Just think of how fantastic that is going to be for the Europeans to actually think that we can all come together with the pope’s blessing and probably the Orthodox leader blessing as well, and: ‘We can have our own army, our own everything. We don’t have to kowtow to the American at all anymore.’
America, at first, will say, ‘That’s great! Think of the billions that we won’t have to pay for NATO, and the billions we won’t have to pay for aid, and the billions we won’t have to pay for keeping the troops in wherever they are in the world. At first, that will sound real good. But you look at the morals of the people—and if you don’t have a challenge at hand—what’s going to happen?
“…and to go into perdition. And those who dwell on the earth, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, shall be astonished when they see the beast that was, but is not, and yet, is. Here is the mind that has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits” (vs 8-9)--and there are seven hills in Rome!
Verse 10: “And there are seven kings…” Those are symbolic; what happened with every one of these seven kings? Who ordained them? The pope!
“…five are fallen, and one is, and the other has not yet come… [that’s what we’re seeing develop here now] …and when he has come, it is ordained that he remain a little while” (v 10).
Tie that together in the sermon The Consummation of the Age about the last seven years. The first three and a half are going to be glorious, wonderful, marvelous, miracles, everybody is happy and doing the right thing. The blessings of the pope, governments are getting along, people are loving one another, and then what happens? The King of the South doesn’t like it! He comes after the King of the North, and that starts the cascade leading right directly into the Tribulation. This is quite a thing that’s developing.
Verse 12: “And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but shall receive authority as kings for one hour with the beast…. [that will be a very short time] …These all have one mind, and shall give up their power and authority to the beast. These will make war with the Lamb, but the Lamb shall overcome them; for He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful” (vs 12-14). Quite a tremendous thing!
We can understand this a little more because of the times that we are living in, and we can see that, yes, this is happening.
Revelation 13:1: “And I stood on the sand of the sea; and I saw a beast rising up out of the sea… [Didn’t we read that in Daniel? Yes, we did!] …having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast that I saw was like a leopard… [Dan. 7] …and his feet like the feet of a bear… [Dan. 7] …and his mouth like the mouth of a lion… [Dan. 7] …and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne and great authority” (vs 1-2).
What power do you think he’s going to have? I’ve mentioned this a couple of times in the past, but I still firmly believe that it’s going to happen. The Cern cyclotron underground in Switzerland—the Hadron Collider—is probably going to make some sort of fantastic discovery that will give the beast—the European Power, who will be personified in the beast—the ability to keep people from making war.
Verse 3: And I saw one of his heads as if it were slain to death…” This comes right at the end of three and a half years, the first three of the last seven is going to be a marvelous thing indeed!
“…but his deadly wound was healed; and the whole earth was amazed and followed the beast” (v 3). That’s when they give their authority to the beast! He rises up and now:
We need to get the whole world order together. All of these people fighting against us need to be brought down into submission.
Verse 4: “And they worshiped the dragon, who gave his authority to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, ‘Who is like the beast? Who has the power to make war against him?’” That will be short-lived!
· What’s hanging in the North and the East?
· What does China want to try and do? Take over the world!
So, they’re over there and seeing all of this; it’s going to be quite a thing!
Verse 5: “And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given to him… [Dan. 7] …and authority was given to him to continue for forty-two months”--three and a half years by months! After the deadly wound was healed, he continues for three and a half years or 42 months.
Verse 6: “And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. And he was given power to make war against the saints, and to overcome them; and he was given authority over every tribe and language and nation” (vs 6-7)--for a short time! Then it all falls apart!
Keep your eyes on what’s happening in Europe, and keep your eyes on what’s happening in Germany. Guess who’s going to Europe on Dec. 3? Pres. Trump and NATO is going to meet there. Look what’s happening in the background when he gets over there. They’re going to come up to him and say,
Pres. Trump, you’re right, we’re going to commit more to the defense of NATO. We need to stand on our own two feet.
And he’s going to say, ‘You’re absolutely right! It’s about time you understand it!’
Right at first that will look like a wonderful thing. What will it do for America? For a while it will make things better! But what’s going to happen in Europe? We’ll have to wait and see!
Notice how v 19 ties in with Dan. 10:21: “Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, whose teeth were of iron and his nails of brass; who devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with his feet; and of the ten horns that were on his head, and of the other horn which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth speaking very boastful things, whose appearance was greater than his fellows. I watched, and that same horn made war with the saints and overcame them… [that’s the papacy] …until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High…. (vs 19-22).
Here’s where they may say that the Father comes to the earth at the beginning of the Millennium. But it doesn’t say that He came to the earth.
“…And the time came that the saints possessed the Kingdom” (v 22). We don’t possess it without the Father giving it to Christ and Christ giving it to us! In that sense He came to fulfill this prophecy. He didn’t come to the earth; doesn’t say that He came to the earth.
Verse 23: “Thus he said, ‘The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be different from all the other kingdoms and shall devour the whole earth, and shall trample it and break it in pieces.’”
You look around, everything accept maybe some parts of the Orient, are patterned after Rome. All of our government buildings are patterned after Rome. Even in Congress, they have the symbol of Mussolini, the axe on top of a sheaf of wheat.
Verse 24: “And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise. And another shall arise after them. And he shall be different from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak words against the Most High…” (vs 24-25). Both of them do!
We find that the beast (Rev. 13) blasphemes everybody in heaven, and the one in Rev. 17 speaks words against the Mort High.
“…and shall wear out the saints of the Most High…” (v 25). That's the whole history of the Church down through the time until America was founded, really when you get down to it1
“…and think to change the set times… [the times that God sets: Sabbath, Passover and Holy Days] …and the laws. And they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and one-half time” (v 25). The persecution down through time, and then there’s a persecution right at the end all over again.
Verse 26: “But the judgment shall sit, and his dominion shall be taken away to be consumed and to be destroyed unto the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, Whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. And all kingdoms shall serve and obey Him” (vs 26-27).
{please refer to the chart: Right column—Events fulfilled in History}
Under The Roman Empire we have the Roman Catholic Church in the west and the Orthodox in the east. We have the Greek Orthodox and the Russian Orthodox
Then the three kingdoms which were taken out: the Vandals, the Heruli and the Ostrogoths.
Then we have the papacy in a stronger position after that
Then there are seven more resurrections of the Roman Empire with an eighth one to come.
{coming down to the Holy Roman Empire in 962 A.D.} I wonder if this will happen with the final Beast Power and be crowned by the pope?
Hapsburg dynasty--the Austrian Hungarian Empire!
Notice that all of these, when you come beginning with Napoleon, they tried to conquer all of Europe and all three of them tried to go into Russia: Napoleon, Kaiser and Hitler. They all tried to control it. We will see that that’s already settled, and people don’t even know it.
The Bismarck/Germany
If you watch the History Channel you can see quite a bit concerning WWI and WWII, and you talk about how bloody it was in WWI, I mean it was terrible. It was really a slaughter. More soldiers between soldiers. In WWII was a lot of killing of civilians and bombing and burning.
Then the final world government
We have covered the reports how that the pope has specifically said that God willed for there to be different ‘religions,’ and that they’re all coming to the same place. Everyone of these religions believe in going to heaven: Catholicism, Orthodox, Islam, all the eastern religions have a variation of incarnation and final nirvana, which would be like going to heaven. They’re making overtures to try and work things together.
Remember we covered how they’re going to build that Chrislam cathedral, temple, whatever in Abu Dhabi. It will be interesting to see what happens then. Will there be the third vision of Fatima? What will that tell us? All of those things have yet to happen. How far it is down the road, we do not know.
Revelation 17:1: “And one of the seven angels who had the seven vials came and spoke with me, saying to me, ‘Come here; I will show you the judgment of the great whore who sits upon many waters.’”
The Church is likened to a woman (Rev. 12). The false church is likened to a woman who is harlot and she “…sits upon many waters.”
Let the Bible interpret the Bible; v 15: “Then he said to me, ‘The waters that you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages.” That’s exactly what the Catholic Church is! Then you throw in all of the other religions.
By the way, do you know what the pope said about communism? Communism is much like Christianity! In other words, the same dictatorial system in the Catholic Church is no different than the dictatorial system that the communist have. Only one is ‘religious’ and one is secular and anti-religious.
Verse 2: “With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication…”
Catholicism and religion is always involved in politics. Look what we have today, wherever it is. Some of it with the Protestants may be a smidgen better. But nevertheless, they still follow Rome. They claim to follow the Bible, and they do to a certain extent.
That’s not physical fornication, that is spiritual fornication, “…and those who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication” (v 2).
Do you want to know how that works, look at how people today are going after Christmas. It’s an amazing thing! They think it’s good. I got a magazine and on the cover it says: Christmas Begins with Christ! When you’re drunk you can’t see straight.
Verse 3: “Then he carried me away in the spirit to a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast that had seven heads and ten horns, full of names of blasphemy”--all of them!
This chart that we have in Appendix Y explains all of that leading up to today.
Verse 4: “And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and was adorned with gold and pearls and precious stones…”
Do this: Christmas Mass is coming up pretty soon. Midnight in Rome is not midnight here. So, why don’t you watch it and look at all of the idolatry that goes on with it. Look at what the pope drinks out of for the Eucharist. It’s a big golden cup!
“…and she had a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominations and the filthiness of her fornication; and across her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” (vs 4-5).
Lots of times we just look and say harlots is just the religion. Well the abominations of the earth, part of the fallout of that is all the atheism, agnosticism and all of the terrible things that go on. They are terrible and evil! Look at the public schools here in California. They’re indoctrinating them into sexual things in the second and third grade. The ones who are pushing it are the alphabet perverts! Once they get in control…
Remember what happened in Sodom when the three angels went down to take Lot out? They about tore down Lot’s house to try and get to the three angels! Then the angels made them blind, and in the morning the angels took Lot and his family out. They said, ‘Get out! Get out! You have to leave!’ And Lot’s wife didn’t believe! That’s quite a story. It must have been terrible destruction that happened, because the two daughters said, ‘Look, there’s nobody else alive around, so let’s get our father drunk and have children so that the human race will continue.’ Abominations of the earth!
I’ll tell you one big abomination of the earth, who supposedly killed himself in his cell while no one was looking. Two things for President Trump even if you don’t like him:
1. he has stopped an awful lot of this sexual trafficking
2. he has helped bring down abortions by about 200,000
That’s a lot!
As we saw with Nebuchadnezzar, God does deal with the leaders, and those who acknowledge God He will honor. How much Trump does it in his private life, I do not know. He’s still blinded by Christmas and all this sort of thing.
Verse 6: “And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus….” Two categories:
1) those are the saints who are converted
2) the martyrs are those who believe but were never converted
God doesn’t forget them either!
“…And after seeing her, I wondered with great amazement. Then the angel said to me, ‘Why are you amazed? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. The beast that you saw was, and is not, but is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into perdition…..’” (vs 6-8). This is the last one!
“…And those who dwell on the earth, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world…” (v 8).
It’s not that their names are there from the foundation of the earth, it is the Book of Life was there from the foundation of the earth.
“…shall be astonished when they see the beast that was, but is not, and yet, is” (v 8).
Delores and I have talked about this a lot, and she right on this. The beast that was and is not, and yet is, and shall come up again can be nothing other than Europe as a geographical and governmental and religious territory!
Bismarck, Hitler and Napoleon all tried to conquer Russia, but what has happened today? Have you heard of NATO? We’ve thought that was a good, wonderful American alliance, which it was at the time. But 75 years later, what has happened? All of the territory that those three tried to conquer is now part of NATO or seeking to become a member of NATO! You have Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, and then you have Romania, Hungry, Greece, Macedonia, Croatia, and Sardinia. All of those are either full members or part members of NATO.
What does Pres. Trump want to do in that area? He wants them to pay more for the military! He wants to remove American troops!
What is happening in the UK? Boris Johnson looks like he’s going to win in a landslide! That means that the UK will be out of the European Union! They may be temporarily attached to it militarily, but they’re out! What does that do? That puts the two sons of Jacob--Ephraim and Manasseh--outside of the world system for the time being!
Let me read you what’s happening and you will see that Delores was right:
Article: November Drumming {https://www.german-foreign-policy.com/en/news/detail/8103/}
Berlin: Leading German politicians are calling for a more aggressive German and EU foreign and military policy, in the run-up to tomorrow’s Bundeswehr public oath-taking ceremony.
They take that oath every year, and that is quite a thing. The Valkyrie! Tom Cruise was the main one in the movie and they showed how they tried to assassinate Hitler and they killed some other German leaders. These troops are honored and those who belonged to that every year! They take the oath that never again will there be that kind of dictator. So, the dictator that comes into Europe is going to come in righteous at first, and he won’t take the dictatorial powers until a little later.
But let’s see that now that is beginning to become a reality. How many years will that take? Who knows! How many years did it take Hitler when he became chancellor? Twelve years!
“Europe must learn the language of power,” says Ursula von der Leyen, the designated EU Commission President, and is demanding to “build our own muscles” militarily.
Now that the UK is out, who is the power? Germany! The beast that was, is not—it came to nothing—and yet is. There you go!
German Foreign Minster Heiko Maas proposes the creation of a 'European Security Council"…
So, it’s involving all members!
…with the inclusion of Great Britain…
That will be temporary!
…because the targeted "Army of the Europeans" cannot forego its armed forces. Berlin has simultaneously approved billions in arms projects. The Bundestag’s budget committee, for example, has approved more than half a billion euros, to also benefit NATO’s “Spearhead,” while the defense committee has approved the procurement of 80 Leopard 2A7V battle tanks worth around 1 billion. To increase acceptance of the Bundeswehr’s foreign missions, the chancellor is calling for support of tomorrow's public oath-taking ceremonies.
What they’re now doing is saying that all the German people are cleansed. ‘We have suffered all of this and we have learned our lessons. We want to help build up Europe,’ because they know that the United States is going go. After we leave, that’s when things will start to happen.
The Language of Power
Following Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer's announcement, last week, of expanding the deployment of the Bundeswehr…
Where are they going to deploy them? German troops will be with French troops, Italian troops, Polish troops, Ukrainian troops and all of that sort of thing.
…leading German politicians have upped the ante and emphatically called for a more aggressive German and EU foreign and military policy. In her speech at the CDU affiliated Konrad Adenauer Foundation, last Friday, in the German capital, designated EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen claimed that “soft power” is no longer enough in today's world…
They’re getting strong!
…and "Europe must learn the language of power.”….
What is it that your hear? Power makes things work!
[1] On the one hand, “this means building our own muscles” in security policy. On the other, the Union must become "more strategic in light of Europe’s external interests.” Under von der Leyen, the Commission is pursuing its arms buildup plan for the EU, with double-digit billions in euros. [2] Regarding "high-end military capabilities,” EU member states need "full-spectrum land, air, space and maritime capabilities,” according to the “Global Strategy for the European Union,” adopted in 2016. [3] Critics keep insisting that financing military expenditures from EU coffers is inadmissible under the EU treaties—but in vain.
They can just say, ‘we’ll change that.’
Revelation 17:8: “The beast that you saw was, and is not, but is about to come up out of the abyss…”
How does Satan always come? With a benefit! Just think of how fantastic that is going to be for the Europeans to actually think that we can all come together with the pope’s blessing and probably the Orthodox leader blessing as well, and: ‘We can have our own army, our own everything. We don’t have to kowtow to the American at all anymore.’
America, at first, will say, ‘That’s great! Think of the billions that we won’t have to pay for NATO, and the billions we won’t have to pay for aid, and the billions we won’t have to pay for keeping the troops in wherever they are in the world. At first, that will sound real good. But you look at the morals of the people—and if you don’t have a challenge at hand—what’s going to happen?
“…and to go into perdition. And those who dwell on the earth, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, shall be astonished when they see the beast that was, but is not, and yet, is. Here is the mind that has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits” (vs 8-9)--and there are seven hills in Rome!
Verse 10: “And there are seven kings…” Those are symbolic; what happened with every one of these seven kings? Who ordained them? The pope!
“…five are fallen, and one is, and the other has not yet come… [that’s what we’re seeing develop here now] …and when he has come, it is ordained that he remain a little while” (v 10).
Tie that together in the sermon The Consummation of the Age about the last seven years. The first three and a half are going to be glorious, wonderful, marvelous, miracles, everybody is happy and doing the right thing. The blessings of the pope, governments are getting along, people are loving one another, and then what happens? The King of the South doesn’t like it! He comes after the King of the North, and that starts the cascade leading right directly into the Tribulation. This is quite a thing that’s developing.
Verse 12: “And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but shall receive authority as kings for one hour with the beast…. [that will be a very short time] …These all have one mind, and shall give up their power and authority to the beast. These will make war with the Lamb, but the Lamb shall overcome them; for He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful” (vs 12-14). Quite a tremendous thing!
We can understand this a little more because of the times that we are living in, and we can see that, yes, this is happening.
Revelation 13:1: “And I stood on the sand of the sea; and I saw a beast rising up out of the sea… [Didn’t we read that in Daniel? Yes, we did!] …having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast that I saw was like a leopard… [Dan. 7] …and his feet like the feet of a bear… [Dan. 7] …and his mouth like the mouth of a lion… [Dan. 7] …and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne and great authority” (vs 1-2).
What power do you think he’s going to have? I’ve mentioned this a couple of times in the past, but I still firmly believe that it’s going to happen. The Cern cyclotron underground in Switzerland—the Hadron Collider—is probably going to make some sort of fantastic discovery that will give the beast—the European Power, who will be personified in the beast—the ability to keep people from making war.
Verse 3: And I saw one of his heads as if it were slain to death…” This comes right at the end of three and a half years, the first three of the last seven is going to be a marvelous thing indeed!
“…but his deadly wound was healed; and the whole earth was amazed and followed the beast” (v 3). That’s when they give their authority to the beast! He rises up and now:
We need to get the whole world order together. All of these people fighting against us need to be brought down into submission.
Verse 4: “And they worshiped the dragon, who gave his authority to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, ‘Who is like the beast? Who has the power to make war against him?’” That will be short-lived!
· What’s hanging in the North and the East?
· What does China want to try and do? Take over the world!
So, they’re over there and seeing all of this; it’s going to be quite a thing!
Verse 5: “And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given to him… [Dan. 7] …and authority was given to him to continue for forty-two months”--three and a half years by months! After the deadly wound was healed, he continues for three and a half years or 42 months.
Verse 6: “And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. And he was given power to make war against the saints, and to overcome them; and he was given authority over every tribe and language and nation” (vs 6-7)--for a short time! Then it all falls apart!
Keep your eyes on what’s happening in Europe, and keep your eyes on what’s happening in Germany. Guess who’s going to Europe on Dec. 3? Pres. Trump and NATO is going to meet there. Look what’s happening in the background when he gets over there. They’re going to come up to him and say,
Pres. Trump, you’re right, we’re going to commit more to the defense of NATO. We need to stand on our own two feet.
And he’s going to say, ‘You’re absolutely right! It’s about time you understand it!’
Right at first that will look like a wonderful thing. What will it do for America? For a while it will make things better! But what’s going to happen in Europe? We’ll have to wait and see!
