Bible Prophecy and Inspiration

Chapter 13 in Revelation is talking about the Antichrist and the False Prophet.  The Antichrist is the Beast out of the Sea and the False Prophet is the Beast out of the Earth.  Who are both of these characters?  That’s a study in itself, but the Antichrist is the false messiah and world leader which the world and Jews accept instead of Jesus.  The False Prophet is the spiritual leader which will demand the others worship the Antichrist, which is now Satan at this time.  Once the Antichrist is killed it is Satan that enters in and becomes the world leader.

Okay, back to the world government portion, now that we laid out that groundwork.

Revelation 13:7 – ⁷He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.

Questions do arise on just what constitutes a world government.  Well in Revelation 13:7 it says the Beast of the Sea, or Antichrist, is given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.  That pretty much indicates it’s global.

Revelation 13:8 – ⁸All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.

So all those left on earth which have not accepted Jesus will take the mark of the beast.  If you take the mark, according to God you’re worshipping the beast.  There will be no, um…not really, I just wanted to eat and protect my family excuses.  You accept the mark and you have chosen the lake of fire. 

They I go again.  This is supposed to be on the one world government and I’m talking about the mark of the beast.  As I said, many end time prophecies that are forming before our eyes will be simultaneously happening.

In Revelation 13:12 we are now reading about the false prophet.

Revelation 13:12 – ¹²He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.

Once again it is mentioning that he is making all the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast.

Revelation 13:16 – ¹⁶He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead,

More on the mark of the beast, but we’re concentrating on the whole world which has become one.  He forces everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to accept his mark.

So Revelation 13 makes a point that the world is tied together. 

Everything around us is pointing to a world government coming to an earth near you soon.  Does it appear that it is going to be the safe love fest that is trying to be accomplished by those pushing for it right now?  Doesn’t read like it, does it?  Next week onto Daniel.

I will spend the next few Fridays on the End Time Prophecy series dedicated to the One World Government or New World Order.

Like Israel becoming a nation this is one of the most important end time prophecies.  A one world government is the only way a one world currency and one world banking system come together.  Should I have written on the one world government before the other two?  Sure I should have.

Whoops.

Many of the other end time prophecies that are coming together are linked to the one world government just as the one world banking system and one world currency.  Since I haven’t spoken on those yet, I will hold back until I post on them.

The two books that really address the one world government are Daniel and Revelation.

I will do one post next week on Revelation 13.  It will take a few posts to cover the world kingdoms spoken of in Daniel.  I will also point out some comparisons between Daniel in his visions and John with his concerning the world coming together.

Why is the world coming together and forming a one world government?  By chance?  Never!

It has taken 90 years for it to come together.  The people that felt we were going to destroy ourselves after World War I, got the ball rolling.  World War II comes along and you add atomic weaponry into the mix.  A new class of recruits started joining these elite groups of rich men and people who were linked to powerful influences.

Nuclear, chemical, and biological, weapons make their way onto the scenes and the reality is that someone is going to use them someday.  So there is the human motivation to push the movement.  Now with economic turmoil, extinction of certain species, global warning, rain forests disappearing, pollution, etc, they have other causes as well.  I suppose we could add major waterways being filled with oil now also.

It’s not hard to see why man is pushing itself towards a world government, but is God up for a one world government where he isn’t the focus?

Next week I have a three part post addressing that very thing.

For the last two weeks we have been talking about the one world currency.  Is that the same as the one world banking system?  They are very closely linked but technically no.

You could have the whole world agreeing to use coconuts only as the currency of the world and still have no banks.  However, going digital on currency allows the banks and the main financial computer systems to be all linked.

Why is this important in light of the last days?  Ah yes, let’s see the scripture that implies it again.

Revelation 13:16-17 –¹⁶ He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, ¹⁷ and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Now you got to realize that the book of Revelation is packed full of mind boggling, wowing, kinds of things.  The judgments are huge and devastating.  It says that one guy will be a dictator, and it indicates he will have the power to look over and keep an eye on the world as a whole.  There will be one economic system that everyone will use and accept and if you don’t accept the mark of this ruler, you can’t use the system.  No problem right, you’re a free creature.

Wrong.

You try to buy and sell and you don’t have this mark, he’ll have his followers hunt you down and have you executed.  Why?  Sorry that’s for when we talk about the Antichrist, Satan, and the Mark of the Beast in the weeks to come. 

So the one world banking system will be more than just banking, it will be part of the whole linked financial institution.  Certain countries won’t be allowed to just keep printing money as they please like one we are familiar with today.

Do politicians like this idea?  Oh yeah, very much so.  Your politicians live to create laws and tax.  If all your resources are linked to a visible system and there is no more underground, taxing and controlling will be much easier.  Fraud will be harder to pull off and easier to trace.

So let’s recap just three of the many End Time Prophecies that we have gone over so far.  Israel has to be back in their land.  There is an indication that the generation that sees them get back into their land won’t pass.   There has to be a one world banking system along with a reason of why the nations would want to go to or have to go to a one world currency.  The biggest reason is the ones who have no money at all, technically still have more than those who are in serious debt.

To see all the End Time Prophecies I have written on so far, just go over to the category “End Time Prophecies” and click on it.  It should then start from the most recent and work its way down to the oldest post on the subject.  You can do this with any category as well.

If someone had told you just 20 years ago that it would be possible for what we are seeing today in the financial world they would have laughed at you and said the world will never want it or go for it.  Cash was still king and people liked that they couldn’t be tracked, but we have been conditioned now.

Just three prophecies have been gone over so far and don’t take them lightly.  The Jews have the whole world against them and yet just a tiny nation is a burdensome stone (whoops there’s number four we already touched on) to the rest of the world.  How did they get back there and how are they still there?  God’s promise and covenant with Abraham, that’s how!  The world will come together economically and use the same system to buy and sell.  So four end time prophecies that have either have happened or only make sense that they are going to happen so far.   I will be writing on many more in the weeks to come.  God has given many of them for us to see, just in case we want to ignore a few end time prophecies as pure chance.

We spoke last week that the Bible speaks about a one world currency in Revelation 13:16-17.

Revelation 13:16-17 – ¹⁶He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, ¹⁷so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

This week I just wanted to give everyone a reminder.  For the last 18 months we have had learned just how tied together the world economic markets are.  When either the US Dollar, Yen, or Euro, starts to reveal weakness, the other markets begin to fall.

The US is willing to admit it is 13 Trillion Dollars debt right now.  We know that it if the government is willing to admit 13 Trillion of debt, then like the Gulf Oil spill information, you know it’s a lot worse than what it is.  We’re throwing just under a trillion at every problem that has come along most recently. 

The Euro has taken a huge hit lately.  They found out that they have to balance out over 25 countries with different economies.  No easy task.

The Yen is making a comeback, but now there is a danger of it becoming too strong, because that affects the exporting business.

The Chinese are already asking for another currency other than the dollar to be used for the oil standard.  Why?  They have tons invested into us and don’t want our economy to fail, but the reality is they know we won’t be able to pull ourselves out of the debt were in.

If the economies of the world aren’t fragile enough already, the only ones that are producing profit are the ones who hate democracy.   The profit is mainly because of oil.

Where are they putting those profits?  Into armaments and bulding their war machine.  That’s a peaceful thought isn’t it?

So how close are we to a one linked currency system?  It could be a necessity within months.  When the nations are unable to stop the bleeding of the collapsing economies it will be one of the only solutions.  A solution that elite groups around the world have been pushing for a long time now.

Why would there be groups who want or care about this?  These groups have been working towards a one world order so we don’t blow each other up, overpopulate, don’t have some living in luxury and others starving to death, etc.

So why is this a bad thing?  Because they are trying to do it without God.  Do we have another story where everybody was trying to come together and build something without God in the Bible?  Yep, the Tower of Babel.

God didn’t like it when man was trying to bring everything together without Him at the Tower of Babel.  When I read Revelation and the Wrath of God in the last days, I don’t think He’s excited about it now either.

I have added a plugin that will send out a reminder to your email when a new post is published.  If you would like to be signed up for that, shoot me a comment saying you would l like to be added.  If you at anytime don’t want to receive these reminders, send me a comment to be excluded from the list.

This week I will go over the scripture that support prophecy that we will have a one world currency.

Revelation 13:16-17 – ¹⁶He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, ¹⁷so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

We’re not concentrating on the Mark of the Beast today, that’s another prophecy.  I want to concentrate in this post that there is going to be a one economic system.

Just 20 years ago no one could fathom that technology could produce a system that could literally control all the commerce.  We are witnessing this before our very eyes and are getting towards the nearing of this economic system.

Twenty years ago it was the bar code.  What did the bar code introduce to us that was different?

It was system that the computer could keep track and recognize all inventory.  It also recognized the product so you could price it through your own store and computer system soon after.

Banks soon followed and the convenience of the debit card came along.  Now there is less need for cash and the time to process checks has decreased.

Why do the governments want a cashless society? 

Just alone tax invasion is enough for this system concerning them.  Your caring government, if you haven’t been able to tell, cares about taxable income.  However, it isn’t the only thing.  They can keep track of all transactions.  In the war on terror they can keep an eye how people on their watch lists are going about their business. 

Here’s one that the government, consumer, businesses and many more all care about and that’s fraud.  Fraud right now in the American system is in all facets of facets of life.  From theft, to multiple benefits, tax fraud, etc.

This move hasn’t happened by chance.  There are numerous groups which their purpose has been to move this earth to a one world government.  What seem liked a bunch of conspiracy talk not all that long ago is now becoming reality.

Time to panic?  No!  As Christians we are to look to God and Jesus.  We are not of this world.  This is what Jesus states in John 17:16.

John 17:16 – ¹⁶They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.

Was he talking just about his disciples?  No he is talking about all of us who love Him.

As I write these End Time Prophecies, I have to tell you it is challenging to keep them separate because they are all coming together at the same time.  Study the Word.  Make Jesus and God your first love and God Bless.

Daniel 12:9-10 – ⁹ He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. ¹⁰ Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.

I said I was only going to do one end time prophecy at a time, but verse 10 actually has two prophecies in it.  One is an end time prophecy and the other has been going on for 2000 years and is still happening in the last days.

 Many will be purified, made spotless and refined….  Now this portion of scripture can only be referred to Jesus’ work on the cross and the victory He has shared with all those who make Him Lord.

What can wash away my sin? What can make me whole again?  Nothing but the blood of Jesus.  Thank you, Robert Lowry who wrote us such a blessing of a song in 1876.

1 John 1:7,9
⁷But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
⁹If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Only the blood of Jesus makes us pure in God’s eyes and refined.  All of us are sinners and are anything but pure or refined without Him.

So this prophecy is still going on today and as long as people are willing to accept the Lord, it will continue.

Now let’s look at the next half of the scripture.

……but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.

We’re in the last days and look around you.  Signs are happening left and right and there are people pointing it out to the wicked.  They don’t see it.  Most of them don’t want to see it.  They don’t want to look towards the Light, because evil is more comfortable in the dark.  Wisdom comes from the Lord.

I’ll be doing many posts on the scriptures on the evilness of man in the last days so I don’t want to repeat it here. 

The last part of the scripture states – but those who are wise will understand.

Friends, we are blessed today to have many wonderful teachers who have dedicated their lives to understanding the second coming of Jesus.  My favorites are Grant Jeffrey, Chuck Missler, Hal Lindsay, and Jack Van Impe.  But there are others such as Jimmy DeYoung who appears on John Ankerberg’s show.  Dr. Ed Hinson on the King is Coming.

You have to be careful and search the scriptures because some others will tend to either have an agenda or appear to get off base.  All of the above have my endorsement and I encourage you to read their material and watch their shows.  Their website links are in the right column of this website.

As always if you do not know the Lord and would like you to ask Him to be Lord of your life, please go to the upper right hand column and click on the “How to Accept Jesus as Savior” page.

After King Solomon, Israel was divided into two nations.  Israel to the north and Judah to the South.

It was 930 BC when they divided and the northern kingdom Israel met its end in 722 BC.  Judah would later fall and Jerusalem would be ransacked and burned in 586 BC.

So the importance of this prophecy is because Israel was more than one nation for many years.

Ezekiel 37:21-22 – ²¹ and say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. 22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms.

There will be one King.  That King, will be the King of Kings and Lord of Lords .  The Messiah the Jews have rejected for 2000 years.

Zechariah 12:10 –  ¹⁰ “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on ^[me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.

Jesus will rule and reign for a thousand years.  The devil will be bound and thrown into the bottomless pit for a thousand years.  All of those who loved the Lord and are part of the first resurrection will rule and reign with Him.

The House of Israel will finally have their King under a unified nation.

I have done an End Times Prophecy on Israel becoming a nation again in the last days.  I also did an End Times Prophecy on the Dry Bones that shall live in Ezekiel 37.

Sticking with that theme I am going to reveal three areas of scripture where God is going to bring his people from other nations and put them back into their promised land.

Isaiah 43:5-6 – ⁵ do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west.  ⁶ I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’ Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth-

Both Isaiah above and Jeremiah below are talking about regathering Israel in the last days.  The whole chapter of Isaiah 43 and Jeremiah 31 refer that He will be their God and Savior and they will never be removed.

Granted, during the last 3 and half years of the Tribulation, there will be a lot of unrest and fleeing to the hills, but they are still there to stay and God’s promise will be fulfilled.

Jeremiah 31:7-10 – ⁷ This is what the LORD says: “Sing with joy for Jacob; shout for the foremost of the nations.  Make your praises heard, and say, ‘O LORD, save your people, the remnant of Israel.’  ⁸ See, I will bring them from the land of the north and gather them from the ends of the earth.  Among them will be the blind and the lame, expectant mothers and women in labor; a great throng will return.

 ⁹ They will come with weeping; they will pray as I bring them back. I will lead them beside streams of water on a level path where they will not stumble, because I am Israel’s father, and Ephraim is my firstborn son.  ¹⁰ “Hear the word of the LORD, O nations; proclaim it in distant coastlands:  ‘He who scattered Israel will gather them and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’

Ezekiel also confirms this in chapter 37:21 – ²¹ and say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land.

Why did I leave out verse 22?  Because that will be next week’s End Times Prophecy.

Through these three Major Prophets, God made it clear that in the end Israel was going to be back in its own land.  It also makes it very clear that the Messiah was going to be their ruler.  They will not be displaced again.

To all the replacement theology Christians, God is a God of promises.  He didn’t replace Israel with the Church.  God has promises for the Church and God will keep his promises with Israel.  In the last days Israel will be a nation and His Jewish people he made those promises to will be gathered back into their land.
