Alright, turn to Revelation chapter 13. Revelation 13. We closed last week just talking a little bit about this number 13. We're not going to spend a lot of time on that, but you ought to know that about 80-85% of the time it shows up in the Bible, it's negative. I showed you the first time it shows up is in Genesis 14. And it's the 13th, and it says that they rebelled. And that's a number of rebellion. When a kid gets to about 13, they know more than their parents do, amen? And they know more than their parents do until they're about 20, and then they don't know as much as their parents. They realize it, amen? But then Genesis 13, you've got the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners exceedingly. All these 13s, it shows up again and again and again. Judas Iscariot. He was one of the 12, so he's the 13th. That Judas Iscariot, there's 13 letters in that thing. And that thing just goes all the way. And so this beast shows up in Revelation 13, and he's going to show up again and again and again. He's the... Devil incarnate is what he is. And there's a reason that the Lord's calling him a beast here. And he's a man, but he's got an unclean spirit in him. It's the devil himself. And it's making him act like an animal. And he's going to literally, those Jews during that time get cannibalized. There's all kinds of verses about that, where they're getting eaten alive during a worship service. It's almost like a Catholic mass where they're drinking blood, amen? And they come together and they're literally going to be eating them. And so that Antichrist, he's like a beast. Alright, look at verse 1. We'll read verse 1 and 2. The Bible says, And I stood upon the sand of the sea, "...and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of Blasphemy." Now, as we go through this chapter, some of this will be explained. I'm not going to explain it all just off the top. Verse 2 says, "...and the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth was the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority." Now, you got a description there of an Antichrist who's gonna show up. And I've shown you who I think it is. It looks like it's Judas raised up from the dead almost, or at least the devil that was in him. You guys remember all those verses from 2 Thessalonians 2 where it calls him the son of perdition? And then in the book of John, Jesus Christ points to Judas. He says, the son of perdition. Calls him the same thing. And that's what this beast is as well. Look at Revelation 17, ought to do it. 17, 8. Revelation 17, 8, the beast that thou sawest was and is not and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit and go into perdition. The word perdition means destruction. That's what's going on right there. And he's a beast. And what you're dealing with is the devil going into a fellow, or he's partly a devil himself. I haven't worked it all out. It could be both. But this beast, he ends up being a picture of the kingdom and the Antichrist that rules over it. You get that? It's both. It's the kingdom and the king. Now, I'd be remiss if I didn't take the rest of the lesson today to do this. I'm going to go to Daniel 7 and we're going to break it down. And if you used to come to our Daniel class, some of this is some of the same material, but I have to go over it. Look at Daniel chapter 7. And Daniel and Revelation are complementary books. They belong side by side. The one commentates on the other and vice versa and they go back and forth. Now we just read about a beast coming up out of the sea. And what you'll see is that it's both a king and a kingdom. And then what I'm going to show you here in Daniel 7 is the same thing. And it's a picture of beasts and their countries and nations and kings and stuff like that. It's a mixture. What you're going to have, and we're going to read a few verses here, but Daniel 7, 1 through 8 is one of the most important prophetic visions in the whole Bible. And it has to do with right now. You understand that? The Lord put it in the book and a bunch of people for hundreds if not thousands of years were like, what does this have to do with anything? And how does this apply? It applies to right now. The book's up to date. All right, Daniel 1. And for the sake of the people, if it's new for you, let's read a few verses to get it. It's a vision. Here's a Jew and he's getting a vision. Verse 1. In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters. Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heavens strove upon the great sea. And four great, there it is, beasts. So we just read about the beast, and here are four more beasts, came up from the sea, diverse, one from another. Now, do you see how we can already start doing some parallels? Here's four beasts coming up out of the sea. What do we find in Revelation 13? A beast, doing what? Coming up out of the sea. All right, now watch verse four. The first was like a lion and had eagle's wings, I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. I know there's a lot here, so we'll break it down, but this is a wild picture if you're actually picking up on what he's writing down. And behold, another beast, a second, like to a bear. And it raised up itself on one side, and had three ribs in the mouth of it, between the teeth of it. And they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. After this, I beheld, and lo, another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl. The beast had also four heads, and dominion was given to it. And this I saw in the night visions. And behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible and strong exceedingly. And it had great iron teeth. It devoured and break in pieces and stamped the residue with the feet of it. And it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it. And it had 10 horns. I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things." There's a lot there, so we're going to unpack it for the rest of the lesson here. I don't even know if we'll go 40 minutes, but I want to give it to you. First of all, back up to verse 2. First off, the first thing to note is that it says this, I saw in my vision by night. All right, that's the first thing to pick up on because the night is a picture of the church age. It's a picture of where we're at right now. Okay, let me show you. Look at Romans 13. It's a vision by night. So whatever he's seeing is taking place within the last 2,000 years or currently. Does that make sense? It's a vision by night. The church age, the bride of Christ starts at the cross of Calvary and carries on until the rapture. That's the church age, from the cross to us going home. So we're in it. So in that church age, that's called, it's a nighttime. Look at Romans 13. Romans 13, look at verse 11. And that, knowing the time that now is, that it is high time to awake out of sleep. For now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent. The day is at hand. At hand means it's almost here. See that? If you say something's at hand, it's almost to us. The night is far spent. The day's just about to happen. Now, I've written down a chart here, and I do timelines all the time. And mostly, I hope it helps you, but it helps me, is if I was going to throw a rapture in here, you'd have to throw that thing right about here. And this will make more sense as we get into it with England, Russia, and America being the world power right now. But before there's any Antichrist kingdom that's really taken off and any Mark of the Beast getting put out, any Jews getting chased, any of that stuff, we're going out. That church age ends. But we're in this night time right now. It's called night. Let me see if I need to read any more here. Yeah, 12, the night is far spent, the day is at hand. Let us, therefore, cast off the works of darkness. Well, that's because we're dealing in a dark time. It's like it's nighttime. And let us put on the armor of light. Why would you need a light that's armor and vice versa if it wasn't dark out? Let us walk honestly, as in the day. So it's not daytime. But you're supposed to walk like it is daytime. Not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and enmity, but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh to fill the lust thereof. Look at 1 Thessalonians 5. 1 Thessalonians 5. A couple of classic passages, but they're important. 1 Thessalonians 5. And look at verse 1. But at the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you, for yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. Now that day of the Lord is not the rapture. I know I've taught you that before, so I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it. But if you don't know what I'm talking about, in simple, just a real simple explanation, the day of the Lord is us, that's after we're out. The rapture's called the day of Christ, but all through the Old Testament you'll find this phrase, day of the Lord, day of the Lord, day of the Lord. And it has to do with judgment, it has to do with the Lord judging the earth and judging that antichrist and the tribulation, all that stuff. The Lord coming back, that's the day of the Lord. And he says it's as a thief in the night. That can't be your rapture. What kind of bridegroom comes and takes his bride like a thief and steals her, unless it's the Seven Brides for Seven Brothers movie. You know what I'm talking about? And some of you know, but some of you don't. And those girls were mad in that movie. You remember that? They didn't marry him for a long time after they got kidnapped, OK? But this is the thief and a knife. And then watch how it goes. It says, for when they shall say, peace and safety, they, so not us. There's a simple thing, but there's a crowd out there that says, you're going through a rapture. It says, they'll say, not us, we're out. There's a reason that this passage follows one of the most important passages on the rapture in chapter four. For when they shall say peace and safety, then sudden destruction shall cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with a child. Do you know how I absolutely 100% know that the day of the Lord isn't gonna come upon the bride like a woman in travail with a child? Because she's a virgin. That's how she's described in 2 Corinthians 11. Paul says the bride of Christ, he says, I've espoused you as a chaste virgin. This world is pictured as a woman, the same way that a thief in the night, you're not expecting it, a woman with child, it's happening, I'm giving birth, my water broke, we better get to the hospital, that's how that thing goes, you're not expecting it. That's not how it is for you and us. We're saved, amen? Verse 4, but ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day, that day should overtake you as a thief. Why? Because we're still in the nighttime, it's a picture right now, we're in the night. year old, the children of light, and the children of the day. We are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep, as do others." Yeah, they're asleep all right. You ever street preach to them? You ever give them a gospel track? You ever try to pressure somebody, give them a little bit of pressure about getting saved, and they go, I'll do it later? What is that? The devil's just rocked them to sleep? They're sleeping. And you're not supposed to sleep like them. A lot of Christians are getting rocked to sleep right next to them. For they that sleep, sleep in the night. See that, verse 7? And they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us who are of the day, we're of the day because we're saved, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for an helmet the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. All right, there's a whole bunch there. Go back to Daniel 7. Daniel 7, verse 2. Daniel 7, 2, Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night. All right? So this vision is taking place during our time, and you're going to see that as we get into the actual descriptions of these beasts. It says, and behold, the four winds of the heavens strove upon the great sea. For those of you taking notes, write down numbers 34, 6, and 7. Numbers 34, 6, and 7. That great sea is the Mediterranean Sea. All throughout the Old Testament, you'll see the great sea. The great sea, it's a reference to the Mediterranean Sea. Numbers 34, 6, and 7, and Joshua 1, 1 through 4. Joshua 1, 1 through 4. That'll show you that that's the Mediterranean Sea there. Now, this is where it's going to get a little bit complicated, so I'm going to take some time and slow down, because this can get a little deep. But this passage that we're about to read in Daniel 7 has a double application, which is why I wrote it on the board this way, because I want you to be able to kind of keep track. It's got a double application. It had an application at the time of Daniel, which is going to be Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome coming forward. But it's a dual application. And it is going to parallel our time right now, coming forward with England, Russia, America, and then an Antichrist kingdom kicking off with the great beast that you see at the end there. And it's a double application. It'll apply to both. And as we go through it, I'll explain and show you the parallels. But some of it's past, but some of it's future, and it's prophetic to right now and future from us. So what we're going to look for is nations that are connected with these empires. And what you'll find really interesting, and just shows you that the Bible is way ahead of us, is that you're going to see that there are some nations and empires that are symbolized by a lion, from verse 4. And a bear, and a leopard. And even if you go back and grab Clarence Larkin's books there, he talks about the beastly characters and the nations that are symbolized. And you know what you're going to find? Is you're going to find a British lion. You're going to see an American eagle. You're going to see the Russian bear. And it's all, I'm telling you, this thing, this thing will go. And the Lord saw it way out back there. And that's his way of proving that he's God. You guys ever seen those verses? Look at Isaiah. Now, if you ever want to get yourself a blessing, grab about Isaiah 41 and read about four or five chapters right there. Because it's God's talking and he's bragging on himself a little bit. And if anyone can, it's him, amen? It's the God of the universe. And what he does is, what you're about to see is that his way of proving that he's God is telling the future, is prophecy. You know why that proves he's God? It shows he's not bound by time. He's not stuck in it somewhere. He's not actually stuck in the thing looking out in the future saying, hey, I think this is gonna take place. He's not like a good stockbroker going, I think the thing's gonna fall and the Dow will go up or down. It's not like that. He's out past the thing. He inhabits eternity, the Bible says. Look at Isaiah 41, look at verse, I don't know, maybe 20. Isaiah 41, 20, that they may see and know and consider and understand together that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it. Produce your cause, saith the Lord. Bring forth your strong reason, saith the King of Jacob. Can you imagine the King of the universe saying that to you? He'll do it one day. He'll stand before the great white throne judgment. There's a whole bunch of people who are going to stand there and he'll say, produce your cause. Tell me your reasons, bring them forth. And everyone's gonna say, you're right, and put their head down. Watch, verse 22. Let them bring them forth and show us what shall happen. Let them show the former things what they be, that we may consider them and know the latter end of them, or declare us things for to come. Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods. So you know what every false prophet does? False prophet? They try to give you some kind of prophecy to prove they're God. That's what Muhammad did. Muhammad was a prophet, just a terrible one. You know what he did? He got out there in a battle that was 2 to 1. They had 2 to 1 odds of winning. They had twice the size of an army. And he said, we'll win the battle. Hey, David, get up here. Come here. Yeah, come up here. All right, I'm going to prophesy to you that if we got in a fight, I'll win. I'm a prophet. No, you say that's ridiculous. You're not a prophet. That just makes sense. That's just the odds in it. Go ahead, sit down, buddy. I didn't really need to do it that way, but I did it, all right? But you know what that is? That's not real prophet. That's what Muhammad did. All those Muslims, they follow up. That was their prophet was he had a way bigger army, so I think we're going to win tomorrow. Yeah, no kidding. Come on, man. Anyway. Do you know where he's getting at? Right there, verse 23. Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods. Yea, do good or do evil, that we may be dismayed and behold it together. You know what the Lord does? He'll give you prophecy. He'll lay the whole thing out. Why? I'm showing you I'm God. I think that's by far the best answer. When you're dealing with someone that's an atheist, I say to them, I say, what do you do with prophecy? Well, I just don't think. OK, yeah, we know. The answer is prophecy. So what you need to do is write down the prophecies you find. That's the power of the resurrection. That's the power of the life of Christ, was that it was prophesied sometimes 700 and 1,000 years before. David's 1,000 years before Christ, and he's writing down things that he's going to say on the cross. He's writing down how he's gonna die with pierced hands. See all that? That's prophecy. What is that? That's God's way of showing you that He's God. Alright, now back to Daniel 7. That's what's taking place right here. Daniel chapter 7. Alright, Daniel 7, look at verse... Well, let's look at verse 4. The first was like a lion and had eagle's wings. Alright, anybody know a nation that's the symbol is what they call a griffin? It's a lion with wings? It's England. You can find it on the banner. And Britain, first off, let's start with this. Britain was a part of the Roman Empire way back in the day. I've got some books on it. Way back in the day when they were barbarians and all that. And for a long time, for as long as I know, the symbol for them has been a lion. But it's not just any lion. It's a lion that has wings. I wonder what that, why they did that. They call that thing a griffin. And now listen, I'm going to stop and say, I've said this last time and I'll say it again. I'm not 100% sure I'm right about this, but I've wondered. The, I'm not sure this is 100% the application that you need, but you'll notice, look at what it says. It first was like a lion and had eagle's wings. What nation on the planet symbolized by an eagle? America. Did you say that? You would say tortilla, wouldn't you, brother? That's a little inside joke there. All right. I beheld, verse 4, I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked. All right. Well, what happened back in 1776, amen? America. The wings were plucked. The eagle left it. See, I can't say that 100%. I don't know if that's the application. It might be. But listen to me, if it was, we're not an eagle anymore, we're a chicken, amen? Our country has changed and gone queer and feminine and all that stuff. It's not the same as it used to be. I don't know if that's 100%, but I've wondered if that's a picture, that plucking, that's a picture of the separation between America heading out. All right, so what you have, now listen, I'm not gonna have the time to get into all this right now, but back in Daniel chapter two, There's another vision given. And in that vision, Babylon, that's why I wrote it down over on that end, Babylon's pictured. It's the statue. You guys remember this? The statue. And Nebuchadnezzar sees this vision in his mind. And he sees the head of gold. You remember that? And it's a picture of Babylon. But then the next piece of armor down is Persia. And it's not quite as good quality. I think it's silver. And then it breaks down. And it's brass. And then it's brass and iron. and then iron and then no, no, this is just iron and then it's iron and clay. That's what it was. I didn't write it all down. I should have gone back to it. But that thing is going. That thing is still a part of this one. And what you have is, even though I'm talking about England, and then I'm going to get to the bear and talk about Russia, I'm going to get to the leopard and talk about America, it still had application at that time. That's how insane the Bible is. That's how on top of it God is. He can go, all these nations and how they're going to line out, I'll do it twice. I'll write it down one time, but it'll happen twice. See that? And so Persia is the next one. I'll give you a couple things about that. So what you're actually going to have is that there's some correlations between Persia and England, and some stuff there in their history. Here's the main one. Look at Ezra chapter 1. Persia and England will be connected. They might even, England could even be a type of Persia. Ezra chapter 1. Both those nations are very famous for one thing in particular. They sent the Jews back to the land. Look at Ezra. Ezra chapter 1. Look at verse 1. Ezra 1 verse 1. Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of what? Persia. It shows how many people are there. Did you find Ezra? Cyrus, king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled. The Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, king of what? Persia. That he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and put it also in writing, saying, Thus saith Cyrus, king of what? Persia. Are you guys not... I really don't have to be there. We've said it twice now. Where is it? Persia? Some of you just don't want to answer. King of Persia, the Lord God, I'm sorry, fill that in color, okay. Lord God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he hath charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah, who is there among you of all his people. His God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel. He is the God which is in Jerusalem. What is that? Persia, actually aiding and helping those Jews get back into the land. So what happens in 1917? The British, the English government, they sign the Balfour Declaration, and that was during the First World War, announcing its support for the establishment which is actually what's going on right here. Someone is writing and writing in support of an establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in the promised land. So you know what that is? It's a connection. Persia is a type of England. All right, back to Daniel 7. We'll look at the bear now. Daniel 7, verse 5. And behold, another beast, a second like to a bear. And it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it, between the teeth of it. And they said, thus unto it arise, devour much flesh. All right, well, that bear, that's a well-known symbol of Russia. They say the Russian bear, the Russian man, he's like a bear. And on some of their old flags, they have a bear on that flag. And if you go and you do a little bit of research, they'll have the bear is a symbol of Russia in their literature. It's in their cartoons, all kinds of stuff. And then not only that, if you're going to make a correlation between Russia and Greece, the Russian language adopted the Greek alphabet and the Greek Orthodox religion. So over there, what's the religion of Russia? They call it what? Russian Orthodox. But it's from the Greek. The origin was Greek, so it's connected. See that? And the Lord just allowed it. He just wrote it down. He's like, it's going to happen that way. Trust me. And he writes it down. So what you have, now this is what's interesting, is in this thing, what you're actually going to see is that England's coming along, and they lost power. So there was a Cold War. And what was the face of war and the face of fear and all that for years and years was Russia, right? All right. So what you have is after the British Empire, you know what happened? I meant to explain this, too. That British Empire really collapsed. And it was due to Winston Churchill giving half the land of the Palestines to those Muslims. And what happens is when you turn on those Jews, the Lord turns on you. And what's England now? It's nothing. I've been there. It's awful. It's weak. It's frail. Its wings definitely got clipped. It's weak. And so within history, you had another country come up. And you had Russia dominate the world politics from about 1950 to about 1990. I was born in 1990, so I have to read about it. But you folks that are just a little older than I am, you probably remember some of that, that there was all this emphasis on who's going to get to the moon fastest, and all this stuff, and then the Cold War, and who's going to nuke, and all that stuff. That's the bear. That's history. That's what you're seeing there. All right, verse 6. It says, "...after this I beheld and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl. The beast had also four heads, and dominion was given to it." That brings us to the leopard, and that leopard is a beast of multiple colors. That's going to make sense when you consider what America is. America is a melting pot. And for a long time, right now, I'm not trying to get into the races and all that stuff, but it's important. It's biblical. If you go to the Olympics and you saw the Chinese team, they'll all be Shemites. They're Shemitic. And if you saw the team from Poland, They'd all be from JFET. They're European. That's Caucasian. If you saw them from Nigeria, the Olympic team, they'd win all the races. Amen. That's true. And that's not a negative. That's a positive. But see, what happens to the American team in the Olympics, though? It's all of it. So you know what that leopard has? It's a beast of multiple colors. It has a yellow-brown body. So that's Asianic. That's the Shemitic. I'm using those words. If you're newer, Noah had three sons. So all the races come from Ham. That's the African. Shem, that's the Asianic. And Japheth, there's your Caucasian European. There's the three main races. I know there's mixing and matching. Those are the three main ones. There's not another one. There's not a fourth one. There are three. They fall into one of those three. So you've got that leopard there. It's got a yellow-brown body. That's shim. That's your Asianic. It's got black spots. That's ham. That's your African. And it has a white belly. That's Jafeth. That's your European. So America is a picture of that leopard right there. that leopard. It's a melting pot. And that's your nation right now. And so Rome and America are linked up. There's a type right there. And it's the last great world power before the kingdom of the Antichrist shows up right now. That's where you're at. And if you've been paying attention at all, Even if you've been watching the world stage over the past decade or maybe two decades, you can see this is it. We're heading towards an end. All right, and then verse 7 has the fourth beast. And you'll notice that this is not the best description of him. That's why you need Revelation 13. Watch. And this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible and strong exceedingly, and it had great iron teeth. It devoured and break in pieces and stamped the residue with the feet of it. And it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it. And it had ten horns. That's nondescript. You're seeing how terrible the thing is. But you'll see it in more detail where we started. Look at Revelation 13. This is the beast of Revelation 13. And it's a picture of the kingdom of the Antichrist and him himself, the king. Look at Revelation 13. And you'll see now that you've seen both of them, pay attention to the similarities between them. Verse one, and I stood upon the sand of the sea, there it is, and I saw a beast rise out of the sea, having seven head and how many horns? just like over there in Daniel 7. You got a cross reference there. And upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. Now here's the description of them. Now keep in mind what you've just learned about these others. You had a lion, you had a bear, and you had a leopard. Now watch this Antichrist kingdom. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power. I'm sorry, I lost my spot. And his seat and great authority. He's like a leopard, but his feet aren't. He's got the feet of a bear, but he's got a mouth of a lion. He's a mixture of the thing. Now, that fourth beast is what you have as a combination of all the other beasts, the lion, the bear, and the leopard. And they're all joined into one big hodgepodge called the United Nations. That's probably what it is, or at least it's connected to that right there. A united mutant nation, that's what it'll be. And all those other beasts were separate nations, and this is a combination of them all is what it looks like. And what that is, is that's a creature, listen, that's one creature there, right? It says the beast, but he's made up of many, several animals. You know what that is in the Hebrew? Behemoth. It's a mixture. That's what's going on there. Look at Job chapter 40. Job chapter 40. Job 40, look at verse 15. Behold, now behemoth. Now that's a singular word there, but it's a plural word in Hebrew. You know what it means? Beasts, plural. But the King James Bible has it right, because it's a beast that are making up one, it's a mutant. That's what's actually going on here, as far as if you're making it, if you're connecting it to this type here, of this Antichrist, So you have what's going on in Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 is you have a behemoth there. Now watch how this is described. Which I made with thee, he eateth grass as an ox. Now, I've already talked about it today I even brought it up. I didn't even remember that it made the connection, but you've got an antichrist there who gets into some cannibalism. The Bible says all flesh is as grass. So you've got an antichrist that's gonna consume flesh. Next verse. Low now his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail like a cedar, and the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass. His bones are like bars of iron. All right, well, that's mentioning his brass and iron. All right, look at Daniel 7. Keep your hand in Job. Look at Daniel 7. Watch the correlation. His bones are as strong pieces of brass. His bones are like bars of iron. So what are his teeth made of in Daniel 7? Look at verse 7. It says, and it had, about halfway through it says, and it had great iron teeth. But that's not strong enough. Look at verse 19. Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass, which devoured, break in pieces, and stamp the residue with his feet. See the connection? He's correlating those two things. You see this beast over here? It's like this beast over here. So you're seeing a cross-reference with the brass and the iron. Take with your other, just drop Daniel. Just let Daniel go and turn to Revelation 19. I ain't singing the let it go song. This ain't Adrian's church. Look at Revelation 19. I've heard him do it. Anyway, Job chapter 40. Job 40 and Revelation 19. Revelation 19 is the battle of Armageddon when Jesus Christ returns and defeats that beast. Amen, brother, amen. Look at Job 40, look at verse 19. He is the chief of the ways of God. Who does that sound like to you? Doesn't that sound like the devil to you? Nobody knows the Lord like the devil does. That's how he tricks you so easily. He knows how you think. He knows how God thinks. He's chief in the ways of God. Watch. He that made him, so his creator, can make his sword to approach unto him. Look at Revelation 19. And you've got the return of Jesus Christ here. Verse 11, And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he that judge and make war. Skip down to verse 15. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the what? Nations, plural. Almost like a mutant United Nations. And he gets them with the sword of his mouth. He made them. All right, hold on, let me just show you one. Yeah, that'll do it. That'll do it. So what you have is, and I just wrote Antichrist Kingdom, this fourth beast here in Daniel 7 that we just read about in Revelation 13 is a picture of the Antichrist and his coming kingdom. So here's the deal. Listen, this will help you kind of understand a little bit. It's got the body of a leopard. That's a mixed melting pot like America. So that nation will be a mixed multitude. But it's got feet like a bear. So politically, if it's going to have feet like Russia, it'll have a communist political system. And the last one is it had the mouth of a lion. So that means the thing speaks English. Now, that fourth beak has the mouth of a lion. So the language, that's the language, by the way, of commerce. That's the language of travel in the last days is English. Not Spanish, not Chinese, not German, not Russian, not Hebrew, not Greek, not Arabic, it's English. Do you know why? Because he's chief in the ways of God. You guys get where I'm going with this? As I close out the service here, you're holding in your hand an English Bible. that I believe God put his hand on and blessed. Do you know how the Antichrist kingdom rolls out? With the devil in charge? He says, let him speak English because it's the language of the time. If I'm gonna get my message to the world, put it in the language of the time. Do you get it? He's chief in the ways of God. How does God think? God says, well, I'm not gonna keep it trapped in Hebrew. Amen? I'm definitely not gonna keep it in a locked language of Greek. Do you know what he does? He puts it in this book right here, the authorized King James Version. As I close, isn't it interesting that the devil sees the prophet in using the king's English, but the modern translators don't? You get that? Isn't that crazy that the devil's got the thing worked out? Now that's how that thing goes. So that's what's going on in Revelation chapter 13. I don't have anything else to say about that. Are there any questions about it? Any questions at all? I know that's a lot of information. I'm going a little short, but it's because there's a lot to digest there. But that's how that thing goes. See, the Lord just has that whole thing worked out for you. So you know what you do now? Listen, this stuff was worked out before America was the melting pot. The Lord had all this here for you to find. And you know where we are? Right here. Right before it kicks off. Amen? We're almost out. Let's go. Amen? All right. Brother Isaac, can you close some prayer, please?
