The Last Beast Kingdom

[herald]

"And I beheld another Beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

And he exerciseth all the power of the first Beast before him, and causeth the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first Beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth, in the sight of men. (When James and John wanted to call fire down from heaven as Elijah had done, Jesus said to them, "Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of!" Lu 9:54,55).

And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles, which he had power to do in the sight of the Beast, saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the Beast, which had the wound by the sword, and did live." Rev 13:11-14.

1. "...out of the earth" - a sparsely populated place, in contrast to the first Beast, which arose out of a populated place. Rev 17:15.

2. "...two horns" - no crowns: religious and civil liberty.

3. "...two horns, like a Lamb" - a young Christian nation.

4. "...he spake as a Dragon" - "The greatest superpower the world has ever known."

George Washington said, "Every man conducting himself as a good citizen and being accountable to God, alone, for his religious options, ought to be protected in worshiping the Deity, according to the dictates of his own conscience."

Benjamin Franklin said, "When religion is good, it will take care of itself. When it's not able to take care of itself, and God does not see fit to take care of it, so that it has to appeal to the civil power for support, it's evidence in my mind that the cause is a bad one."

Ulysses S. Grant said, "Leave the matter of religious teaching to the family altar, the church and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and state forever separated."

Jesus said, "My Kingdom is not of this world: if My Kingdom were of this world, then would My servants fight..." John 18:36.

JESUS NEVER USED THE STATE TO FURTHER THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

Hello herald,I don't think you have this right

Revelation 13:11 "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon."

This beast coming up out of the earth looks like a Lamb [Jesus Christ], yet he speaks like a dragon; because he is the dragon [Satan]. He claims to be Jesus, and most Christians will believe him.

Revelation 13:12 "And he exerciseth all the power [authority] of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed."

Satan [the Antichrist] uses all the power and authority he has, because it is given to him by God. God allowed the "one worldism" to take place, because it is in God's plan. He gave us that plan, and that is what we are studying now. It is Satan that will cause the wounded political beast, "one world system" to come back together after it falls apart. Then that system, and all the people on the face of the earth will worship Satan. All, except the elect of God, and those sealed in their minds.

Revelation 13:13 "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men."

Satan will bring miracles, and supernatural wonders with him.

Revelation 13:14 "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles [signs] which he had power [it was given him] to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live."

This is the whole object for the great tribulation. "DECEPTION"! Satan is going to make an image of this "one world system" [religious beast] and breath life into system. Their will be something symbolic created within the system that will cause the whole world to bow. This reminds me of the "image" created in Babylon's "one world government" under king Nebuchadnezzar, in Daniel 3. At that time there were only three that would not bow to the image.

Just as Judas arose from within the disciples, so The Antichrist will arise from within the church.

The Apostle Paul wrote, "Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas (Peter); and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?" 1 Cor 1:12,13.

The denominational system was never God's plan for the church. He calls her, "The Mother of harlots." Revelation 17. She has traded much of the Word of God for her traditions.

"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE, that ye be not partakers of her sins ("the transgression of the law" 1 John 3:4) and that ye receive not of HER PLAGUES. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her inquities." (lawlessness) Rev 18:4,5.

How do we "Come out?" By doing as the Bereans: "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the Word with all readiness of mind, searching the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so." Acts 17:11.

Our allegiance must be to the Word of God and not to any denominational church.

The Reformers studied Daniel and Revelation, and came to the conclusion that the office of the Papacy was The Antichrist. ("Antichrist" also means, "false Christ.") Many of them were martyred for such comments. Down through her history, the RCC has used nations and states to accomplish her ends. She will use Protestant America, to rule the world.

Have you ever heard of St, Malachy's prophecy, posted on the web by the Catholic Church? He was an Irish Catholic Bishop who visted Rome in 1139 and had a vision of all the popes until the time of the end. He gave details about many of them. He said, that, the last pope, would "reign amidst many tribulations," and then "the dreadful judge would come and destroy the city." (Jesus is coming back as a Judge).

If this was a vision from God, there will be one more pope.

Jesus said, "Not every one that saith, Lord, Lord, shall enter into (Rev 22:14) the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven.

MANY will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity." (lawlessness) Mt 7:21-23.

"And hereby we do know that we know Him, IF we keep His commandments. He that saith, I KNOW HIM, and keepeth not His commandments is a LIAR and the Truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth His Word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby we do know that we are in Him.

He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked. 1 John 2:3-6.

The children of Israel, Jesus, His disciples, the New Testament Christians kept the Sabbath holy, and so must we.

James 2:10,11 tells us, that if we break any of His commandments, we become transgressors of His law and are guilty of breaking all of them.

"As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions ("of the law" 1 John 3:4) from us...to such as keep His Covenant and to those that remember His commandments to do them." Ps 103.

Covenants have conditions.

We have abused grace: "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." Ga 2:20.

"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin ("the transgression of the law") that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" Rom 6:1.

"Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law." Rom 3:31.

At the very end of the Book of all Books, the Apostle John wrote, "Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have RIGHT to the tree of life, AND MAY ENTER IN through the gates into the city." Rev 22:14.

Jesus said, "If ye love Me, keep My commandments." John 14:15.

"He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth My shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him." John 14:21.

Rom 16:26 refers to "the obedience of faith."

Only those who obey His Word can call Him, "Lord."

Herald,when you understand that the anti-christ is non other than satan himself,you will see more clearly.

Satan will work through a man:

"Thus he said, The fourth Beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and HE shall subdue three kings.

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. But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away HIS dominion, to consume and to destroy it to unto the end." Dan 7:23-26.

"...HE thinks to change times and laws" Dan 7:25. The, only, time in His Covenant is the Sabbath. No man/institution can over-rule our Creator and change His law. It was the RCC that tried to change His law to Sunday.

Do you keep the Sabbath holy, as our Creator commanded?

Just as in the Garden, it is a question of allegiance. Is you allegiance to the Catholic/Protestant religious system, or to our Creator and His Word?

Satan will work through a man:

satan already has men working for him

John 8:44 "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him, When he spaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."

satan is coming here (earth)as the anti-christ pretending to be the true Christ,satan is not here at this time,he is being held by Michael.

Revelation 12:7 "And there was war in heaven: Mi'-cha-el and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,,"

Revelation 12:8 "And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven."

Revelation 12:9 "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Sa'-tan, which deceived the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."

Revelation 12:12 "Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."

"Thus he said, The fourth Beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and HE shall subdue three kings.

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. But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away HIS dominion, to consume and to destroy it to unto the end." Dan 7:23-26.

"...HE thinks to change times and laws" Dan 7:25. The, only, time in His Covenant is the Sabbath. No man/institution can over-rule our Creator and change His law. It was the RCC that tried to change His law to Sunday.

Daniel 7:23 "Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces."

You can see this one world system now forming, with the false messiah will rule at its head. That's all it amounts to. The political system, or beast will receive a mortal wound, and end it's world rule for a very brief time, as we read in Revelation 13.

Revelation 13:3 "And I saw one of the heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast."

Remember that this beast is as a one world system, and in the beginning, this system takes a political form. We know the form today as the United Nations, with it's ten major agencies, which have the entire world under its ruling charter of international laws, treaties, and trade agreements. However, when the world wakes up to see the strength of this Godless beast, the political form will end. When a political beast is dead, it simply does not function as a government any more. This will set the stage for the coming of the Antichrist, Satan, and his arrival to earth.

Why will it be diverse of all kingdoms? Because it's going to be religious, with one ruler. Just listen to most newscasts and much of it deals strictly with affairs of it. It is seeking total control of the entire earth. What the United Nations does, it does only to promote its own agenda. As genocide went on in Cambodia, Bosnia, and elsewhere, the United Nations looked the other way. Kurds were being gassed in Iraq, and entire cities eliminated, and the United Nations' blinders were on. However, years later, after the fact, the United Nations used what it so blatantly overlooked, as the slaughter took place, as the excuse to move against Iraq when it took Kuwait and their oil.

The United Nations is still growing and moving to world wide control through its many agencies. We know, though, that the time of "breaking down" and "breaking it to pieces" has not yet come. This is future. However, it is a very close future. We may be talking about months instead of years.

Daniel 7:24 "And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings."

What were those ten horns? The same as the "ten toes" of the image in Chapter 2. These ten horns are ten kings.

Who is this that rises after the ten kings? We saw in Revelation that this beast (ten king system) rose from the sea. That sea is the peoples of the world. They are men, or ruling agencies by men. The description in Revelation 13 of the seven that were, and one yet to come is simply Satan's title.

Now in Daniel 7:24, the one that shall rise is also Satan. My Christian friend, the fourth kingdom of Daniel 7 is the same "one world system" of the ten kings of Revelation 13. And the one that shall rise after them is Satan, and his role as the Antichrist.

I agree with your interpretation - there are, already, ten kingdoms.
