Preview of Coming Wrath

“Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
Revelation 6:12-17

 

‘Apocalyptic’ 

of us were heartbroken at the images coming out of Maui in early August. Everyone said it was like the end of the world. It was apocalyptic. The scenes remind us of images from WWII when dozens of cities looked like Lahaina, Maui.

But this wasn’t a war time ordeal. This was a peaceful day in paradise that was interrupted by the unthinkable. A wildfire of suspicious origin violently ended the lives of hundreds, and potentially thousands, of people whose day started like any other and ended in a hellish ordeal. We see why the Bible says, “Today is the day of salvation.” (2 Corinthians 6:2) Life can end abruptly and unexpectedly. No one is promised a tomorrow.

The word “apocalyptic” is being used all over the world as the planet groans, awaiting the liberation of Jesus Christ when He will set it free.

Elsewhere in Europe, a month of rain fell on parts of Slovenia in a single day. China experienced devastating floods. Crops throughout the region were completely wiped out, and the property damage that has been done is off the charts. Devastating heat has tormented millions of people around the world. Hail pounded Germany. Fires in Portugal created an “apocalyptic inferno.”

This, and much more, as we are in a run-up to the Rapture—the ultimate apocalyptic event.

“Go Gay Hawaii”
And divine judgment must also be considered as we see reprobate activity. “Go Gay Hawaii” welcomes everyone to gay-friendly Maui on a website built for just such promotion.

The website says, “The Maui gay community is substantial and accepting. There are numerous LGBT and gay-friendly businesses on the island, exclusive Maui gay resorts and plenty to see, do and experience on this magical island. Maui Gay Pride is a staple event taking place each year around the first weekend in October.”

The promotion continues, “In 2011, when Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie signed legislation legalizing gay marriage in Hawaii, he sealed the State’s fate as one of the top gay destinations in the world. We welcome you to plan your Maui gay vacation or wedding today!”

And interestingly enough, about the only structure in Lahaina not destroyed was a church, though it was not a gospel preaching church.

Preview of Things To Come

During the seven-year Tribulation, every city and nation will look like Maui. Can you imagine? I cannot. The city of Lahaina is a preview of things to come. The earth will reel from earthquakes, meteor showers and asteroids, stars falling from heaven, and the moving of mountains. One- third of the trees will burn up.

The sun will go dark and the moon will turn to blood.

Mankind will hide in caves and rocks and plead, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” (Rev. 6:12-17).

When things are at their worst, Christ will suddenly appear on planet Earth during His second coming or “no flesh would be saved.” (Matthew 24:22)

God is warning the unbelieving world about what is coming. Billions perish during that unprecedented time, and modern-day disasters are a pale foretelling of things to come.

Before The Wrath

If you have Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life, none of this is of concern. Believers escape the wrath to come in the Tribulation (Rev. 3:10).

But all of us have loved ones and unbelieving friends who know little about God’s plan of the ages. They have never been told about eternal life. They are unaware that God’s wrath is not destined for true believers—unless you tell them. And, unless you outline the plan of salvation to them. As ambassador’s for Christ, that’s our calling!

Do so today while there’s still time!

 

 

United States of Sodom!!! Team Biden Declares LGBTQ Flags Must Fly Next To The U.S. Flag At All US Embassy’s Worldwide!

United States of Sodom!!! Team Biden Declares LGBTQ Flags Must Fly Next To The U.S. Flag At All US Embassy’s Worldwide!

THE DAYS OF LOT: JOE BIDEN’S SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN ORDERS LGBTQ+ PRIDE FLAGS TO BE FLOWN NEXT TO THE U.S. FLAG AT ALL US EMBASSIES WORLDWIDE! THE ADMINISTRATION IS RACING TO REMOVE GOD BY ELEVATING EVIL AND CALLING IT GOOD! (Isa. 5:20)

Aligning With Evil

In the Bible, God destroyed both Sodom and Gomorrah for the wickedness and the LGBTQ+ lifestyle is spoken against in both the Old and New Testaments including in the writings of the Apostle Paul for the Church Age.

Yet ironically, just two weeks into the new administration, America has decided to issue an ordinance proclaiming solidarity with the very practice God hates.

Of all the things we should be focusing on, it seems the most important issue to the reprobate minds in this administration is calling evil good and facilitating the demise of America.

As the world races toward the 7-year Tribulation, what happens to America? Bible prophecy indicates America is no where to be found by the time of the Tribulation. It’s not good for the future of the red, white and blue!

Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, and built; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.” Luke 17:28,29

It’s becoming more obvious that God’s protective hand is moving off America and His abandonment wrath is falling on our nation as outlined by the Apostle Paul in Romans One. What you will see take place over the next few years will astonish many Bible believing Christians.

Most people on Earth right now are already amazed at the rapid change of events in our country. America is sitting in the most vulnerable position we’ve ever been in with the blind leading the blind and trying to impeach an ex-president. Our enemies are laughing but the church should be crying as God’s anger is coming!

America may still be the world’s only superpower, but faster than you can blink, just as God dealt with ancient Judah, America’s fortunes could evaporate.

This administration seems dedicated to that end.

Don’t think it can happen? You’re watching it, stay tuned, it will surely be a rough 4 years.

Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.” Jeremiah 2:19

Biden’s choice of Antony Blinken to run the State Department will take the country backwards to the Obama era and beyond. Blinken, like all Biden’s picks is a liberal internationalist who hates the concept of America first. Instead, he believes in working on behalf of U.S. interests through multilateral institutions. He favors U.S. decisions be channeled through the United Nations, NATO and traditional alliances. To borrow a phrase from the Obama era, he favors ‘leading from behind.’

Secretary of State Antony Blinken orders LGBTQ flags flown at U. S. Embassies and announced he will also appoint a special envoy for Gay Rights.”

FROM BREITBART NEWS: Outfront magazine reported on the development:

“The Biden administration is off to a hopeful start, as Secretary of State nominee, Antony Blinken, has confirmed a recommitment to LGBTQ rights. In a memo from July 2020, former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper released a list of flags permitted to be displayed at U.S. military bases. Missing from the list was the LGBTQ pride flag, which Esper compared to the confederate flag. Prior to the ban, embassies raised the flag during pride month on the official embassy flagpole. During the hearing, Blinken also confirmed that he plans to appoint an envoy for the Human Rights of LGBTQ persons, a position created by Barack Obama in 2015 that wasn’t filled during the Trump presidency.”

Blinken claimed violence against that demographic increased while Trump was in office.

“We’ve seen violence directed against LGBTQ people around the world increase,” Blinken said. “And so,

I think the United States playing the role that it should be playing in standing up for and defending the rights of LGBTQ people is something that the department is going to take on and take on immediately.

According to Blinken, the US is no longer in the business of shining the light of Christ or following the principles of right and wrong taught by Jesus. That’s what we did in our glory days when we honored the Lord.

But those days are over. Instead, we have moved into the era of glorifying sin and encouraging the rest of the world to follow us down the path of destruction. The reckless ungodliness and immorality of these people are the precise sins God says are a blight on the nation (Jude 1:7).

“Raising the pride flag is one way to outright show LGBTQ solidarity. Biden is the first U.S. president to openly embrace a full range of queer rights, including transgender equality,” Outfront magazine reported. READ MORE

We Are Under Attack – Here’s What We Can Do!

We Are Under Attack – Here’s What We Can Do!

Happy 4th of July!

Thank God for America!

It’s Time To Stand Up

For Our Country!

Make no mistake, America is under attack. Attack on our biblical values and worldview, our families, and our nation. The rest of 2020 will be a war for the future of America!

Here are some Encouraging Lessons from what Nehemiah did when faced with the same enemy.

The Nehemiah Strategy

What we’re seeing across America today is nothing new!

The godless spirit behind the attack in 2020 is the same as what Nehemiah encountered in biblical days.

Nehemiah was a leader. God put on his heart a burden to restore his country by restoring the walls of Jerusalem, which had been broken down and the gates burned with fire. (Sound familiar?)

What transpired next is exactly the same spiritual attack of hatred being leveled against us today.

Nehemiah and the Jews were mocked, name-called, shamed, and threatened as they came together to rebuild their land. (Neh 2:19, 4:1-3)

The constant harassment worked. People grew weak!

Fear rose up until their strength began to fail (Neh 4:10).

We only have to listen to the news for five minutes to have fear planted in our hearts and feel our strength fail.

Like in Nehemiah’s day, it is a strategy to grind us down.

TEN TIMES the Jews went to Nehemiah to repeat the murderous threats they were hearing (Neh 4:12). They became convinced that “Wherever we turn, they will attack us!”

And because they feared for their lives, the people retreated.

But Nehemiah refused to be moved. He refused to listen to the threats, because he knew THEY had a call to rebuild the walls. He couldn’t do it alone.

This is our call as well! We need to rebuild the broken-down walls of America!

How did our walls get so broken? It didn’t happen overnight! It was an insidious strategy to remove God in our nation, destroy the family unit, promote abortion, and normalize and legalize whatever God calls sin.

Time To Rebuild

Here’s What We Can Do

#1 – Don’t be Afraid

Are you afraid? Afraid of sharing the Gospel? Afraid of challenging what you know to be a lie? Afraid of disease? Afraid of verbal or physical attacks? Afraid for your life? Fear is not from God. It is a strategy to paralyze you into hiding and silence.

Are we willing to stand up, speak out, and resist EVEN if it means we lose our reputations? Our jobs? Or our lives? It’s a sobering thought.

For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. (Mt 16:25). We cannot allow fear to keep us from engaging in this war.

#2 – Don’t Confine at Home

We are being told that it is time to shut down again because COVID is coming back. Did you know there is a word for us in the Bible on this? Look at Nehemiah 6:10-11:

We learn that Shemaiah, a fellow believer in God, is CONFINED AT HOME!

He then “encouraged” Nehemiah with what looked like a godly word, “Let us meet in the house of God, inside the temple, and let us close the temple doors, because men are coming to kill you.”

Was it godly wisdom or fear? We learn the answer from Nehemiah’s response.

Nehemiah responded, “Should a man like me run away? Or should someone like me go into the temple to save his life? I will not go!”

We must not allow fear to dictate our actions.

#3 – Don’t Listen to the Agenda of Lies

As a result of closing down from the pandemic, America went from functioning at 100% to the worst unemployment rate in decades. Trillions of dollars, our government doesn’t have, were pumped into an economy in free fall.

Yet now we are being told that if we don’t close down again, COVID illnesses will harm the economy! We are told to wear face masks and avoid gathering in church, while we are told that protesters and rioters are safe from COVID.

These policies and positions aren’t for the good of all the people, but promote the enemy’s agenda.

America Wake Up!

Satan wants to shut down our country until after the election and employ every godless tactic to do it like mandating mail-in ballots which opens the door to mass voter fraud.

A progressive win in the White House and Congress in 2020 will mean removal of God completely from America and possibly the point of no return!

So what do we do?

#4 – Take Action!

Nehemiah’s 6 Point Plan

Fast and pray (Neh 1:4)
Repent (Neh 1:6-7)
Remind God of His Word (Neh 1: 9)
Rally people to rebuild (Neh 2:17)
Ignore their threats! (Neh 4:14)
Stand up and take action (Neh 4:14)
Nehemiah stood up to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them,” he encouraged, “Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.”

It’s time to fight for our future. And we all must be engaged.

In Nehemiah’s day, each person/family/tribe took a portion of the wall to rebuild. Some took a small portion, others took large portions.

Each did what they were able.

A Miraculous Turn-Around

The walls were rebuilt in just 52 days.

We need to recognize that if we will begin to rebuild what is on God’s heart, He will step in and do His part. We will see miracles which we desperately need right now. We need God to hear our prayers!

We have approximately 120 days before the November 2020 election.

This election will greatly determine the fate of our nation. This isn’t about choosing the candidates you like best. This is about voting biblical values based on the platform positions that reflect the good government that God desires for us.

Make no mistake, we are under attack. Are you willing to say, “God, whatever you ask me to do, I’m willing, use me?”

New York Black Lives Matter President Hawk Newsome Says They Will ‘Burn The System Down’ If America Doesn’t Give In To Us

“Jesus Christ is the most famous black radical revolutionary in history.” Newsome told Fox News. “I just want black liberation and black sovereignty, by any means necessary.”

Hank Newsome is dangerous for America and people need to start listening!

The Mask

Comes Off

Tim Buck – June 26, 2020

Black Lives Matter is not about ending racism, it is about tearing down America and establishing a fascist state. And it’s being used by Satan to widen the divide in our country!

BLM New York president Hawk Newsome takes the mask off and says he wants to ‘burn the system down’ in an interview on Fox News. I think it would be wise to take him serious and grasp the gravity of revolution at the door.

Newsome says, “Jesus Christ is the most famous black radical revolutionary in history. And he was treated just like Dr. King. He was arrested on occasion and he was also crucified or assassinated. This is what happens to black activists. We are killed by the government.”

At the conclusion of the Fox interview, Newsome told Martha MacCallum, “I just want black liberation and black sovereignty, by any means necessary.”

Hawk Newsome is the opposite of Martin Luther King, Jr., he believes a violent overthrow of the American government is the only way to achieve, in his words not mine, “black liberation and black sovereignty”.

Does that sound like someone who is only concerned about reforming the police? No, it does not, but you should listen to him, he is telling the truth of what Black Lives Matter is about. And he is telling us how BLM plans to solve the ‘racial inequality’ in this country.

I hope you will side with black people in their struggle for true freedom and equality, as I do, certainly all men are created equal before God. We are all sinners in need of a savior.

But if you bow to the Black Lives Matter movement, you support a Marxist revolutionary force dedicated to collapsing the United States of America.

It is wicked, it is evil, and it is something that all Americans and certainly all Christians should be standing against. READ MORE.

NEW TEACHING: What Are The Book Ends Of The Church Age?

What Are the ‘Bookends’ of
The Church Age?

Special Teaching

(10 Minutes)

(This would make a good first chapter of a book)

Overlapping of Israel and the Church

Did you know the church has a beginning and an end? Can you guess what they are?

As the title suggests, I want to discuss the start and the end of the church-age. That may not seem like a ‘hot-button’ topic but in the discussion of the end times today there’s confusion about this which prevents people from fully understanding God’s purposes in the last days.

The idea of the Old Testament and Israel overlapping with the New Testament and the church runs throughout the book of Acts. In Acts we see God moving Israel off the stage and bringing the church into play.

Now today, we see this happening in reverse, as the church age winds down, and we find ourselves living in the shadow of the Tribulation with God, once again, working with the nation of Israel.

Imagine this Image

Picture you are standing in ocean water up to your knees, as the strong wave coming in is washing over you. At the same time you feel the outgoing force of a previous wave pulling your feet out. The waves overlap each other as one comes in and the other goes out. So it is with the overlapping stories of Israel and the church.

Transition… From Old to New

The argument could be made that the church-age began while overlapping the Old Testament, Mosaic dispensation and will end overlapping it again into the 7-year Tribulation.

By overlapping I mean God was working simultaneously on His distinct plans for Israel and His distinct plans for the church.

Keep Israel and the Church Separate

One of the common mistakes with interpreting prophecy is to mix up God’s plans for Israel and the church. These two institutions are distinct and remain separate throughout the bible.

We see this even in the New Jerusalem where, after the end of all things, Israel’s 12 tribes are written on the twelve gates (Rev. 21:12-13) and the 12 church Apostles names are written on the 12 foundations (Rev. 21:14). God’s memory and plans for both Israel and the church continue throughout eternity.

So these two institutions overlapped during the birth of the church in the first century and are starting to overlap once again, now, at the end of the church-age.

Throughout the church-age, Israel lives under God’s judicial blindness (Rom. 11:25) as punishment for rejecting their Messiah. Their veil of blindness will not be lifted until after the rapture when God once again turns His attention back to His chosen people.

First Mention of the Church

The first mention of the church is in Math. 16:18 where Jesus declares He is both its architect and builder. But when he mentions this to the disciples, there’s good reason to believe they had little idea of what the church was about or what it would become.

That is because God did not reveal the doctrine of the church until much later when He chose to reveal it to the Apostle Paul, not the 12 apostles. It was Paul who would become the “Apostle to the Gentiles.”

Until Paul’s teaching in the church epistles, the concept of the church remained unknown and described as a “mystery kept hidden from ages past” (Eph. 3:1-7; Col.1:25-27).

The First Bookend (Pentecost)

The official birth of the church took place on the day of Pentecost with the coming of the Holy Spirit, by whom the Lord began baptizing believers into His body… the church (1 Cor. 12:13). Today, at the moment of salvation, all believers are spiritually baptized into Christ’s body forming His church.

Paul’s teaching about this and his doctrine on the church was given to him directly by Jesus (Gal. 1:12-17; 1 Thess. 4:15) and Paul began to explain and write about church doctrine beginning with his letter to the Galatians some 20 years after Pentecost.

During those early years of the church-age is when we see the transition period from the old covenant to the new covenant taking place.

In contrast, it seems we are now living in the transition period at the end of the church-age with God turning His focus back to Israel and preparing the church to move off the stage to usher in the Tribulation (Mt. 24:21).

In scripture, this period is also referred to as “Daniels 70th week” (Dan. 9:27) and ”the time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7) because the 7-year period belongs to the Old Testament dispensation about Israel (Dan. 9:24).

This is one good reason why our focus should be on Israel today, NOT AMERICA! As we transition through the end of the church-age, Israel is back in play and becoming the center of God’s end-time plans.

The Last Bookend (Rapture)

The official end of the church age is the rapture and resurrection of the church (1Thess. 4:13-18). This glorious day is for all Jews and Gentiles who have become believers since Pentecost.

At the LAST TRUMP (1 Cor. 15:51-52), saints who have died since Pentecost will return to earth with Jesus and be resurrected into their glorified bodies like His glorious body (1 Jn. 3:2).

After which, all living saints will be ‘caught up’ (raptured) together to meet the Lord in the air! For the first time, the church will be complete and be in the ‘Father’s house,’ all at the same time… with Jesus. Paul makes it clear we will recognize each other when we gather in the clouds with our fellow saints (1 Thess. 2:18-20).

Once in heaven, it’s time to celebrate as the church-bride is married to Christ and our eternal relationship is sealed in our heavenly wedding. During our 7-year stay in heaven, the church will be married to Christ at the marriage of the lamb (Rev. 19:17-19) just prior to returning to earth with Him at His Second Coming.

Transition… From the New, partially back to Old

While the church is rejoicing in heaven, back on earth, God’s plans for Israel pick up through a short transition period allowing for the rise of Antichrist and the confirming of his peace treaty with Israel which marks the beginning of the 7-year Tribulation.

At the start of the Tribulation, God does something only He can do by sending His two powerful witnesses, Elijah and Moses, (Mal. 4:4-6) back to Israel.

At that moment, since the rapture removed all believers to heaven, these two men are the only witnesses on earth. In the power of the Holy Spirit, these two servants oversee the building of Israel’s temple (Rev. 11) and spark the greatest spiritual revival in Israel’s history.

Interestingly, there is serious pressure inside Israel today to build the temple. Israel’s most powerful religious body, the Sanhedrin, is calling for the construction of the Temple and Orthodox Jews, seated as part of Israel’s Knesset, are repeatedly calling for the building of the temple on the temple mount.

The temple furniture, priesthood and details of Israel’s sacrificial system are being prepared today by the Temple Institute in Jerusalem.

Living in the Shadow of the Tribulation

The big picture to keep in mind here is that all these end time activities related to Israel are happening now under the watchful eye of the church indicating we are living in the shadow of the Tribulation. Hallelujah! “Look up; Lift up your heads, your redemption is coming closer” (Lk. 21:28).

Most importantly, in fulfillment of His promises, God will begin lifting the veil from Israel’s eyes (Rom. 11:25). And what does He use to reach Israel? The teaching tool God uses to illustrate Jesus is messiah will be the animal sacrifices being offered on the new brazen altar on the Temple Mount (Dan. 9:27).

Why is this so effective? Because Israel understands the sacrificial system and the gospel of Christ’s death on the cross is clearly portrayed by the slaughtered lamb and because ‘there’s power in the blood!’

Moses and Elijah will begin connecting the dots for the Jewish people by preaching Jesus is the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world (Jn. 1:29). Like Peter’s preaching at the temple on the day of Pentecost where thousands were saved (Acts 2:41), the preaching of the two witnesses at the temple spark a mighty, end-time, spiritual awakening in Israel.

With the church removed, the Jewish people finally begin recognizing Jesus is the one “whom they pierced” (Zech. 12:10). God, in His own perfect time and by His own power, will sovereignly act to save Israel fulfilling Isaiah’s prophecy (Isa. 59:20-21) which is then quoted by Paul (Rom. 11:25-27):

25 For… you should not be ignorant of this mystery… that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; 27 For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.

In wrapping up Paul’s teaching on Israel and the Church in Romans 11, Paul concludes by saying,

33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! (Romans 11:33).

21 To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Eph. 3:21)

Satan’s Wrath, God’s Wrath And The Coming Beast

Satan’s Wrath, God’s Wrath And The Coming Beast

Who or What is The Beast of Revelation?

Looking Behind the Curtain

Satan’s wrath sits heavily upon humanity because he is the destroyer and he knows his time is short.

America is just beginning to bear the brunt and I’m not confident it will ever get better. Satan’s wrath is steeped in hatred against God and God’s children and especially Israel.

God’s wrathby contrast, is the ultimate expression of His absolute love for mankind.

To prepare for class this Tuesday, I want to look at the identity of this ferocious BEAST and discover some of the meaning behind it’s heavy portrait symbolism.

I hope it will spark your interest to study it more as it’s one of the largest topics in the book of Revelation.

When John first saw this imposing caricature, it must have been a stunner!

What Is the Seven-Headed Leopard Beast of Revelation 13?

The beast with seven heads and 10 horns introduced in Revelation 13 represents Satan’s eighth and final empire: The Turkey-led Ottoman Caliphate.

11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven.

Let’s take a closer look at a few of his key features to get a better understanding of the nature of the beast.

* It has authority, power, and a throne, which point to its being a political entity – 13:2.

* God points out its blasphemy 3 times in 8 verses indicating it’s deeply connected to a religious system in addition to being a political entity – 13:1,5-6

* It combines features of the beasts described in Daniel 7:2-8 showing that it’s a future empire in Satan’s line of anti-Semitic empires (Da. 7:17).

* It ascends “out of the sea” (13:1), which is symbolic of the turbulent masses of Gentile nations – Rev. 17:15

“Seven Heads and Ten Horns”
The key to understanding the “seven heads” of the beast is given in Revelation 17 which says the seven heads are symbolic of “seven kings,” or empires (Rev. 17:9,10).

So the seven heads of the beast of Revelation 13:1 represent Satan’s seven former empires designed to oppress the chosen people and dominate the land of Israel.

The seven heads represent Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, and the Ottoman Empire. One of these former empires will return as the eighth empire.

The ten horns of Revelation 13:1 are also explained in Revelation 17 in verse 12,

12 “The ten horns you saw are ten kings… they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. 

Here we see that the ten horns are symbolic of ten kings that form themselves into an empire (beast) having one mind. This is precisely what occurs in the formation of a Caliphate.

Ten Muslim nations willingly surrender their sovereignty as independent kings to form something better and bigger than themselves aka the Islamic Caliphate.

After this empire is formed and established, Antichrist mysteriously appears as the 11th king and wrestles control of the Caliphate to be appointed its ruler or “Caliph” – Dan. 7:24-25.

From all this, we conclude that the seven headed, ten horned beast of Revelation 13 is a symbolic picture, from the imagination of God Himself, representing the coming eighth empire, the last of Satan’s mighty empires to destroy Israel.

The Turkey led Islamic Empire is resurrecting and coming back to life today! Out of the midst of the Middle East chaos the beast will suddenly appear, and the world will never be the same.
