  Revelation chapter 13, Let us pray, God, who's in heaven,
• 0:08
  Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy is your name.
• 0:13
  Lord, I pray for sound doctrine and sound theology today.
• 0:17
  Father, I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that your will
• 0:21
  will be done. In your Kingdom will come,
• 0:24
  Father, right here on this earth, just as you have prepared
• 0:27
  it right there in heaven. God, I pray that you will make
• 0:31
  us a holy habitation unto you. Father, your Saints, God sold
• 0:35
  out to you. We love you.
• 0:37
  Father, I pray that you'll indwell us.
• 0:39
  Holy Spirit, fill us today. Fill us overflowing today.
• 0:44
  God, I pray that your words will become the food that we eat, the
• 0:49
  water that we drink. God, we love you.
• 0:52
  We love everything about you, King Jesus.
• 0:56
  Lord, I pray that you'll keep us from the enemy, Father, Keep us
• 1:00
  from all the schemes and deception.
• 1:04
  Lord, I pray that you'll encamp around us, form a hedge of
• 1:07
  protection around us, Lord. There will be blood bought and
• 1:10
  bulletproof, Father, everywhere that we go.
• 1:13
  Peacemakers, Lord, more than conquerors.
• 1:16
  God, let us put our heel on the head of the snake.
• 1:20
  Father, I pray against all deception.
• 1:23
  Lord, I pray against disease. I pray against disorder and
• 1:26
  chaos. In the mighty name of Jesus,
• 1:29
  bring peace. Lord, I pray that we will have
• 1:33
  the mark Lord placed upon us. Father, the mark of your
• 1:38
  goodness and grace and mercy and love.
• 1:41
  Lord, I pray that we'll speak truth and love.
• 1:44
  I pray that we will not back down and not be cowards.
• 1:47
  Father, I pray that we'll push against all of the cultural
• 1:51
  norms. Lord, I pray that will not be
• 1:53
  swallowed up by society and what it says that we need to be.
• 2:00
  Help us not to be those who try to keep up with the Joneses.
• 2:03
  Lord, I pray against vanity, God and pride in the mighty name of
• 2:07
  Jesus. I pray that you will make us
• 2:10
  into the men and women who care nothing about our lives and that
• 2:16
  we are only picking up our cross and following you daily.
• 2:22
  Forgive us Lord, for all the times that we've messed up and
• 2:25
  sinned and got it wrong and trespassed.
• 2:29
  Lord, help us to be a forgiving people who love without limits.
• 2:35
  Forgiving 70 * 7 Lord, infinitely give us the manna and
• 2:42
  the quail. Give us Our Daily Bread.
• 2:45
  Give us yourself. King Jesus, we love you and
• 2:51
  descend your mighty name, Jesus Christ, that we pray.
• 2:56
  Amen. Well, let's start in verse one.
• 3:02
  And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and I saw beasts rise up
• 3:06
  out of the sea, having 7 heads and 10 horns, and upon his horns
• 3:11
  10 crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
• 3:16
  So we can see this revived Roman Empire.
• 3:19
  And if you go back and study the book of Daniel, you're going to
• 3:22
  find out that this chapter coincides with that book, and
• 3:28
  it's going to mark out some of the same visions that God gave
• 3:32
  to Daniel for us to pin. And here you can see that John
• 3:37
  had the privilege of getting to see the end times and what it
• 3:40
  would look like. And we see the Babylonian empire
• 3:44
  as the lion. We see the Medo Persians coming
• 3:47
  like a bear. We see the Greco coming as a
• 3:56
  leopard, we see the legs, friends of iron, and then we see
• 4:02
  the 10 toes. And that is what is referenced
• 4:05
  with these 10 kingdoms here. This beast coming out of the
• 4:09
  sea. And the leader is going to be
• 4:12
  the Antichrist, and all the 10 empires of the world are going
• 4:16
  to bow down and give their authority over to this little
• 4:19
  blasphemous horn that speaks all kinds of things against God and
• 4:24
  his holy people. To the beast which I saw was
• 4:31
  like unto a leopard and his feet, whereas the feet of a bear
• 4:35
  in his mouth, as the mouth of a lion and the dragon gave him his
• 4:38
  power and his seat and great authority.
• 4:41
  It could not be more plain friends.
• 4:44
  The Roman Empire, which was the iron legs there revived and
• 4:48
  they're mixed with the clay, the tin toes and it's iron and clay
• 4:52
  and it will never mix the weak and the strong trying to come
• 4:56
  together to form a united confederacy.
• 5:00
  And it is all pointing towards the culminating act of a one
• 5:05
  world leader named Antichrist, which is the other.
• 5:14
  It's not the against Christ, it is a replacement and people will
• 5:19
  choose him. And Jesus told us that it would
• 5:22
  be so. He said that he came and we
• 5:25
  refused him. But if another came in their
• 5:27
  name, they would, they would receive him.
• 5:30
  And that's what's going to happen.
• 5:32
  People care nothing about the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
• 5:36
  And they want a Kingdom without the only one true living God.
• 5:40
  And so they choose this Antichrist that's coming on the
• 5:43
  scene and all of the things are already in place for this to
• 5:48
  happen. And we might shake our fists and
• 5:51
  say never and not in my time. But friends, don't forget that
• 5:55
  the church is taken up and out. And it sets the stage for a
• 6:00
  world that is ripe for a leader that has all the answers.
• 6:07
  And they accept Him. And even the Jews there in
• 6:11
  Israel, they accept Him as their false Messiah.
• 6:17
  And it won't be until the halfway point of the seven-year
• 6:20
  period that they realize that He is the Antichrist and they
• 6:25
  receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
• 6:29
  Verse 3. And I saw one of his heads, as
• 6:32
  it was, were wounded to death, and his deadly wound was healed,
• 6:36
  and all the world wondered after the beast.
• 6:38
  So even in the same way that Jesus died and was resurrected
• 6:43
  and lived again and appeared to many, this Antichrist will
• 6:50
  perform the same kind of act and many people will worship him and
• 6:58
  be in awe and woo over this man that was dead and came back to
• 7:03
  life. You can see how Satan cannot
• 7:07
  create anything. He only distorts and disrupts.
• 7:11
  He's only able to to steal the ideas of God.
• 7:17
  He cannot come up with his own new material.
• 7:20
  He just has to borrow from the very things that God does.
• 7:24
  And you can see all the way back in Isaiah and Ezekiel 14 and 8
• 7:28
  and 28 where he wants to ascend and be higher than God and be
• 7:32
  worshipped like God. And it is this Antichrist.
• 7:37
  It is a replacement Christ, and people flock to him in droves
• 7:45
  for and they worship the dragon, which gave power unto the beast,
• 7:50
  And they worship the beast, saying, Who is like unto the
• 7:53
  beast? Who is able to make war with
• 7:56
  him? It will look as if the
• 7:57
  Antichrist has all the power and all the world, and it will be.
• 8:05
  To a natural mind. It will be futile to war against
• 8:10
  the Antichrist, because all of the military might in all of the
• 8:15
  world will be in his control. Five.
• 8:20
  And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things, and
• 8:24
  blasphemies, and power was given unto him to continue. 40 and two
• 8:29
  months for 3 1/2 years the Antichrist comes on the scene,
• 8:33
  and he is blasphemous towards God.
• 8:36
  And if you were still here when this is happening, you will know
• 8:40
  that he is the Antichrist, not because of how he looks, but
• 8:47
  because of what he says. You need to be in tune with what
• 8:51
  the words that are coming out of his mouth, because they will be
• 8:55
  against God and against the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
• 9:00
  against Yahweh everlasting. And that is how you'll know that
• 9:04
  he is the Antichrist. And you need to know that the
• 9:09
  spirit of the Antichrist has already gone out into the world.
• 9:13
  But this is the culmination of it.
• 9:15
  This is the embodiment. When this man comes on the
• 9:19
  scene, it will be nothing but blasphemy and lies.
• 9:23
  And that is how you will know the intelligence indicator.
• 9:26
  Radar on, antenna up, red flag. Sound the alarm when you see
• 9:32
  this blasphemy on the scene. 6 And he opened his mouth and
• 9:38
  blasphemy against God, and blasphemy his name and his
• 9:42
  Tabernacle, and then that dwell in heaven.
• 9:45
  So he's even going to speak out against the church that has been
• 9:48
  raptured. He's talking about those that
• 9:51
  are in heaven, and he's going to try to explain them away, and
• 9:55
  it's going to be all blasphemous. 7 And it was given
• 10:00
  unto him to make war with the Saints and to overcome them.
• 10:05
  And power was given him over all kindreds and tongues and nations
• 10:10
  worldwide, global domination brands.
• 10:13
  And you can see here that he has the power to make war with the
• 10:18
  Saints. It does not say that he has
• 10:20
  power to make war with the Church.
• 10:24
  These are the Saints that have to come to belief in Jesus
• 10:30
  Christ during the seven-year Tribulation.
• 10:36
  A. And all that dwell upon the
• 10:38
  earth shall worship Him whose names are not written in the
• 10:41
  book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world
• 10:46
  God had in His mind all the way back before He even created the
• 10:52
  world. Before He even breathed into
• 10:55
  Adam's nostrils, God already knew what would happen.
• 10:59
  He's the Alpha and the Omega. And it says here that even
• 11:03
  before He created us, He already had a plan.
• 11:07
  You can see that the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the
• 11:11
  world. Friends, nothing is a surprise
• 11:14
  to God. It is not a cat and mouse game
• 11:17
  between God and the devil. He is sovereign and omnipotent,
• 11:21
  and He had a plan from the beginning.
• 11:23
  And the question is, will you accept that plan, or will you
• 11:28
  explain it away and come up with all kinds of replacement
• 11:32
  theology? 9 If any man have an ear, let
• 11:36
  him hear. This is a wonderful time to
• 11:40
  pause and to stop and to ponder and to meditate.
• 11:51
  If you have an ear to hear, listen, listen, listen.
• 12:00
  God's Word could not be any more plain.
• 12:04
  If you are mixed up and turned around and you are confused,
• 12:08
  that is not from God. God's word is black and white.
• 12:12
  It is plain. And if you believe that
• 12:17
  eschatology cannot be explained or understood, you are deceived.
• 12:24
  It is the revealing. It is plain.
• 12:27
  He tells us it all. But you have to have the faith
• 12:31
  of a child. You have to approach God from a
• 12:34
  level of belief before He can reveal to you.
• 12:38
  And if you have the 10 talents, even more will be given to you.
• 12:42
  But if you have the one talent, the little bit that you have
• 12:45
  will be taken away from you. 10 He that leads into captivity
• 12:52
  shall go into captivity. He that kills with the sword
• 12:56
  must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the
• 13:00
  faith of the Saints. So it is futile to go against
• 13:06
  the Antichrist in this time. If you reject this worship and
• 13:12
  if you reject the mark of the beast and you reject the
• 13:20
  financial part of it all, you will starve and it will be
• 13:29
  horrible. And This is why it calls for
• 13:32
  patience during this time. This is one of the hardest
• 13:41
  verses in all of the Bible and you need to understand that it
• 13:45
  will be terrible for the Saints who have to endure the
• 13:51
  tribulation. And it says that if God had not
• 13:54
  cut those days short that no one would survive.
• 13:57
  And that's why it is far better to believe now.
• 14:02
  And I pray for all those who will have to endure.
• 14:05
  And it will be far better for you to put your faith in Him
• 14:09
  now. But if you find yourself in the
• 14:11
  seven-year tribulation and you put your faith in Him, just know
• 14:16
  it's going to cost you your life.
• 14:18
  It's going to cost you, but it will be far better for you to
• 14:24
  lose your life for his name's sake than to be cast into hell
• 14:29
  and separation from a holy God. 11 And I beheld another beast
• 14:38
  coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb,
• 14:43
  and he spoke as a dragon. So this is the false prophet,
• 14:46
  the one world religion. This is the one who is going to
• 14:52
  propagate the Antichrist and make everybody worship the
• 14:56
  Antichrist as God. And you can see it.
• 14:59
  It is not far fetched, friends. It has already happened in
• 15:04
  tongue in cheek. It's already happened in part in
• 15:07
  nations, but never on a global scale.
• 15:10
  But those were just the test drive to what is going to happen
• 15:16
  on a global scale, friends. And you can see this false
• 15:20
  prophet coming up out of the earth.
• 15:21
  We saw that the first beast come up out of the sea, friends, and
• 15:27
  you can see that it is the unholy Trinity.
• 15:32
  It is a false Father and a false Son and a false Holy Spirit.
• 15:38
  That's this unholy Trinity that you see described in this
• 15:42
  chapter 12 And he exercises all the power of the first beast
• 15:46
  before him, and he causes the earth and them which dwell in it
• 15:51
  to worship the first beast whose deadly wound was healed.
• 15:54
  So this false Christ and this false prophet, and they try to
• 16:01
  come and make the entire world worship the Antichrist. 13 And
• 16:07
  he does great wonders so that he makes fire come down from heaven
• 16:11
  on the earth in the sight of men.
• 16:13
  And we remember the two witnesses, and we see that this
• 16:16
  false prophet has the power to kill them in the streets.
• 16:21
  But God sins and revives them, and they are caught up into
• 16:25
  heaven. 14 and deceived them that dwell on the earth by the
• 16:29
  means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of
• 16:33
  the beast, saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they
• 16:36
  should make an image to the beast which had the wound by the
• 16:40
  sword and did live. So this false prophet is going
• 16:44
  to cause the entire world to worship the Antichrist, and he's
• 16:49
  going to use signs and wonders and miracles to prove the
• 16:54
  validity of his prophecies. And that is why it is so
• 17:02
  dangerous, friends, to try and assert the supernatural unto God
• 17:09
  alone. Just remember that.
• 17:11
  Even the demons know that there is one true God and they
• 17:16
  shudder. They are able to do some of the
• 17:19
  supernatural occult practices. And you need to know that the
• 17:23
  miracles do not necessarily point towards God's hand in it.
• 17:30
  And that my friend, calls for wisdom.
• 17:32
  Do not be duped by the supernatural. 15 And he had
• 17:40
  power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the
• 17:44
  image of the beast should both speak, and 'cause that as many
• 17:48
  as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
• 17:51
  So there's going to be the idol worship that is actually
• 17:55
  animated and it is able to speak and have some sort of life force
• 18:06
  in it. And that is not too far fetched
• 18:10
  in our day in our image to be able to see an inanimate object
• 18:16
  become animated. We see it all the time in the
• 18:21
  tech sector of our world, and it's all of the technology is
• 18:29
  culminating in the manifestation of God's Word actually becoming
• 18:36
  real. It's almost as if God pinned it
• 18:41
  all down. It's in a way that we would know
• 18:45
  that we know that we know that we know that His Word is real.
• 18:48
  It's alive and it's active and it's trustworthy and true.
• 18:52
  Friends, you can see here that God knows what He's talking
• 18:57
  about. Written over 2000 years ago
• 19:00
  before any of this technology boom ever came in, where people
• 19:05
  can see everything happening all at once around the world and the
• 19:10
  fact that we could have an inanimate object come to life.
• 19:14
  Friends is not science fiction. It is the reality, the mark
• 19:20
  being placed in people to make them buy and sell.
• 19:23
  This is not some science fiction novel.
• 19:27
  This is the reality that you and I live in.
• 19:29
  A one world leader A1 world religion, A1 world currency.
• 19:35
  Friends is not too far fetched in our day and our hour.
• 19:38
  And it is as if the Bible actually knows what it's talking
• 19:42
  about, and it's trustworthy and true and you can build your life
• 19:46
  upon it. 16 And he causes all, both small and great, rich and
• 19:56
  poor, free and bond to receive a mark in their right hand or in
• 20:01
  their foreheads. If you don't have a right hand,
• 20:03
  that's OK, we'll just put it in your forehead.
• 20:06
  And that is the idea here. And you can see how Satan
• 20:10
  distorts and disrupts and how he's to steal, kill and destroy.
• 20:15
  And all he does is he hijacks God's master plan, and he tries
• 20:20
  to. Twisted friends for his own
• 20:24
  demise. And we saw that God had placed
• 20:27
  his mark on the 144,000 to protect them.
• 20:33
  And here you can see that this Antichrist, you can see that
• 20:37
  Satan has this world system put in place that nobody can buy or
• 20:43
  sell without receiving this mark.
• 20:47
  And you can see in our digital world how this is possible even
• 20:51
  in our day and our time and our hour in a cashless society.
• 20:55
  And we're going to get into a lot of what how God feels about
• 21:01
  anybody who takes this mark. And it is far better to go to
• 21:06
  death than to take the mark and be eternally separated from him
• 21:11
  forever and ever. 17 And that no man might buy or sell, except he
• 21:19
  had the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his
• 21:23
  name. So here you can see that this
• 21:25
  global one world leader, this global currency, and you will
• 21:32
  not be able to purchase the medicines that you need, the
• 21:35
  food that you need. You will not be able to purchase
• 21:39
  all of the things that you need, your necessities, unless you
• 21:42
  worship the Antichrist. 18 will end here.
• 21:47
  Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding
• 21:51
  count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man,
• 21:55
  and his number is 603. Score and six very simple
• 22:05
  friends. If 7 is the number of
• 22:11
  perfection, 6 is the number of perfect imperfection.
• 22:21
  It falls short, and you can see here that the 666 is the
• 22:27
  antithesis of the 777. If 777 means God's number, well
• 22:34
  then 666 is getting almost to the mark and then missing it,
• 22:40
  friends, which is sin. And that is what is referenced
• 22:45
  here, is this unholy Trinity of the false Father, the false Son,
• 22:55
  and the false Holy Ghost. And many people will bow down
• 23:00
  and worship this system that's put into place led by men.
• 23:09
  And you can see here that this calls for us to get ready and to
• 23:15
  stay ready, and to be ready and to watch and to look, to not be
• 23:21
  taken off guard, to fill our lamps and to trim our Wicks, and
• 23:26
  to be ready for the groom, because he could come like a
• 23:29
  thief in the night. We do not know the hour or the
• 23:32
  day and we should adorn ourselves and make ourselves
• 23:37
  ready and not get caught off guard and get left behind.
• 23:41
  I hope you've been blessed by this amazing chapter in God's
• 23:44
  Word. I know I sure have.
• 23:47
  I'm praying for you and I love you.
• 23:56
  We'll see you back here tomorrow.
• 23:57
  God bless you.
