EVIDENCE OF SEQUENTIAL ORDER
Continued from:
"The Beast's End Time Empire"
http://tinyurl.com/3bopfc
Both Daniel and John see beasts (nations) rise from the sea. Dan. 7:2-8,
Rev. 13:1-3.
The evidence of the Sequence in which these beasts will participate in
the sequence of end time events is revealed the described (signs) events.
EVIDENCE: THE END
Perhaps the most obvious sign, is that the Lord destroys the beasts
(Nations) when He returns.
The Lord destroys the beasts of Daniel's Seventh Chapter when He
returns. Dan. 2:44-45, 7:9-11, 8:25, 9:27, 11:45. Mal. 4:1, Jer. 51:25.
The Lord defeats the Beast of Revelation Chapter 13 when He returns. 2
Thes. 2:8, Rev. 19:11-21, 20:10-15.
Since the Lord destroys these beasts when He returns, then these beasts
(Nations) must be in existence BEFORE He Returns. These nations must be
visible, seen as participating in the events which lead to and culminate
in His return.
EVIDENCE: THE BEASTS MAKE WAR
The beast of Daniel's Seventh Chapter makes war against the Saints.
7:21, 25, 8:10-11, 24, 25. 11:31-35.
The beast of John's Thirteenth Chapter makes war against the Saints.
13:7, 15, 11:7, 6:9-11, 17:11-14 and 20:7-9.
EVIDENCE: THE BEASTS BLASPHEME GOD
The beast seen by Daniel committed blasphemy against God. 7:8, 20, 25,
11:36.
The beast seen by John "opened his mouth in blasphemy against God." 13:5-6.
EVIDENCE: IS CONCLUSIVE
The sequential evidence is irrefutable (except, perhaps, to those who
suffer from delusion). The beasts of Daniel and John exist just prior
to, and at, the time of the end.
EVIDENCE: THE BEASTS PARTICIPATION IN END TIME EVENTS
The beasts Daniel sees are the Beasts which combine into a single Empire
Just seven years before the return of the Lord. (Dan 9:27 Rev 13:5.)
These beasts are identifiable for several years BEFORE that convergence
into a single Empire.
China, the Kings of the East, is visible now,
Russia, Gog and Magog, the Bear, is visible now,
The Kings of the South, Africa, is becoming visible,
America, Babylon the Great *****, is visible now,
Modern Rome, those nations which once were Rome and will be Rome again,
is visible now.
Every one of the individual nations described by Daniel is visible now,
and soon they will combine into the single empire as witnessed and
described by John in His Revelation.
COMBINE THE EVIDENCE
Jesus gave a sequence of events, as recorded by Matthew. Mat 24:7-8,
9-13, 15-21, 29-31. Look for the one word which indicates sequence,
"Then..."
"The Beginning of Sorrows," "THEN"
"The Affliction," "THEN"
"The Great Tribulation," THEN"
His return!
Luke recorded Jesus prophecy that "...and Jerusalem shall be trodden
down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled."
The Israel of God, the Elect of God, (Mat 1:21) His People the Church
have returned to control of Jerusalem, and the Times of the Gentiles has
ended; ended, in fact, in 1967!
Because these beasts all exist during the lifetime of that generation
who witnessed the return of Israel (Mat 1:21) to Jerusalem, and these
same nations must be destroyed at The End, we should be able to
recognize which beast represents which nation; and recognize the
sequence of end time events!
What we need is a little more evidence which reveals the sequence in
which these nations, and that empire, will participate in the End Time
sequence.
EVIDENCE: DESCRIBED PROPHETIC EVENTS
The Beginning of Sorrows: The 'Beginning of Sorrows" includes war,
rumors of war, famine, plague and natural signs like earthquakes. These
'signs' (described events) are seen, participated in, and will effect
the nations described by Daniel ;and John as existing prior to and at
the Return of the Lord. Rev 6:1-6, 20:7-8, mat 24:7-8.
The First Three Seals are opened.
Thse signs include WW1, WW2, the invention and use of Nuclear Weapons
(the "Great Sword"), Plague (flu pandemic) ,the rise of Communism in Gog
and Magog and a generation of war against Christianity by Russia;
Geologic Gradualism, Big Bang Theory, the 14 billions years old universe
and Evolution. This signs were all witnessed by, participated in and
effected those nations described by Daniel:
Modern Rome, those nations which once were Rome,
and will be Rome again, which hosted WW1 and WW2.
America, Babylon the Great *****,
Russia, Gog and Magog, the Bear,
China, the Kings of the East,
The Kings of the South, Africa,
The Fourth Seal is opened, and First three Trumpets are sounded.
EVIDENCE: COMING EVENTS
Thse nations as described by Daniel will combine into the Empire
described by John, (Rev 13,) and these nations, as part of this empire,
will participate in the signs (described events) as explained by both
Daniel, John and Jesus.
The Affliction of the Saints will begin just before and at the beginning
of Daniel's 70th period of "seven." Mat 24:9-13, Rev 13:5-7.
The Affliction will be more a 'religious' persecution in many nations,
rather than a Government persecution. Churches and Denominations will be
consolidating into the One World Religion (World Council of Churches, at
this time), and will begin using intimidation and force, persecuting
(affliction) those who do not consent to join, and who insist on
witnessing of coming end time events.
The Nations which will be included in, or participate in the Affliction
of God's People include:
Modern Rome, the European Union,
America, Babylon the Great *****,
Russia, Gog and Magog, the Bear,
China, the Kings of the East,
The Kings of the South, Africa.
From the Rise of Modern Rome to the Return of the Lord is seven years.
After 3 1/2 years, the Great Tribulation will begin in the midst of
Daniel's 70th week with Satan, the Emperor of Rome and Ruler of all the
Word, will proclaim himself to be God.
The Fifth Seal is Opened, the Fourth and Fifth Trumpets are sounded.
EVIDENCE: THE ABOMINATION
"When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by
Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him
understand:)" Mat 24:15.
"And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the
midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to
cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it
desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be
poured upon the desolate. Dan 9:27.
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come,
except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed,
the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that
is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the
temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thes 2:3-4.
"...and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the
first beast ... deceiveth them that dwell on the earth ... and cause
that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be
killed." Rev 13:12-15.
This event, Satan as the Emperor of the World, claiming to be "God" and
demanding to be worshiped as "God" will occur in the 'midst of the
week', and begins the Great Tribulation. Now it not just the World
Council of Churches which is Afflicting those who witness of the return
of the Lord; now every government of the world will join with the
world's religious establishment and they will begin to murder God's
People, His Two Witnesses. Rev 11:7.
EVIDENCE: PROPHETIC TIME PERIODS
Dan 7:25,
"And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear
out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and
they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the
dividing of time." Rev 11:7, 9-11, 13:12-15.
Dan 8:14, 2.300 days,
"And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then
shall the sanctuary be cleansed." From the time Satan occupies the body
prepared for him, and he begins his rule of earth in the flesh, until he
is cast into the lake of fire. Rev 19:11-21, 20:9-15. Dan 11:45, Mat
24:29-31, Isa 27:13, 1 Cor 15:50-54, 1 Thes 4:14-17, Rev 11:7-19, 2 Pet
3:3-12 and many others.
Dan 9:27, 70th week, Seven Years
"And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week..." The Lord,
by and through His Holy Spirit, will confirm the New Covenant with
power. Ezek 9, Acts 2:28, Rev 11:3-7.
Dan 12:10-12. 1,20 days, 1,335 days
"And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the
abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two
hundred and ninety days.
Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and
five and thirty days." From the time Satan Proclaims himself to be God
until the end of the Seven years will be 1,290 days, then it will be 40
days (1,335 from the Abomination) until the return of the Lord.
Rev 11:3, 1,260 days, about 3 1/2 years
"And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a
thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth." The
first half of the 70th week will be 1,260 days, or 3.5 years. Then the
Abomination, and the Two witnesses will be murdered for Three and a Half
years.
Rev 11:9-11 3 1/2 Days, about 3 1/2 years
"And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see
their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their
dead bodies to be put in graves." Three and a half years of Public trial
and execution, with the dead put on display.
Rev 13:5. 42 months, about 3 1/2 years
"And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and
blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two
months. The Abomination: Mat 24:15-21, Dan 9:27, 2 Thes 2:3-4.
