Bible Prophecy and Inspiration

The first two days we spoke on prophecies that had to happen before the second coming of the Lord.

If you haven’t read them please do so now. 

The next prophecy that wasn’t a reality until about 50-60 years ago is weapons of mass destruction.

Matthew 24:22 –  ²²And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.  KJV

Mark 13:20 –  ²⁰And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.  KJV

When I read this it appears that if it wasn’t God’s promise to Israel and the millennial reign to come, he would let man blow himself up and then your either saved or not.  However, for the elect’s sake, which is the Jews, He intercedes.

No flesh would be saved.  Is this possible today?  Obama is trying to get a treaty that would bring just the two countries down to 1,500 a piece.  I’m not a rocket scientist but I believe 3,000 nukes going off would devastate the possibility for man to survive.

Ezekiel tries to describe what he’s seeing in his vision of prophecy.

Ezekiel 39:6-15 –  ⁶And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.  ⁷So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.  ⁸Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.

 ⁹And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:  ¹⁰So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.

 ¹¹And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.  ¹²And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.  ¹³Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.

 ¹⁴And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.  ¹⁵And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.  KJV

Wow.  Ezekiel speaks of professionals having to handle the destroyed bodies in this battle.  Bones will be marked for special handling.  Fire is mentioned and burning weapons for seven years for power.

Zechariah 14:12 –  ¹² This is the plague with which the LORD will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.

This certainly sounds like nuclear warfare or from a neutron bomb.  It also is for those who fought against Jerusalem.

Were living in a time where Israel is a nation again.  They are in control of Jerusalem.  They are planning for a temple.  We are heading for a one world government with a one world currency.  We are told that there will be one man to head it up.

Yet, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.  Yawn…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

2 Peter 3:3-4 –  ³ Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. ⁴ They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”

The pot is about ready to boil.  Get out; and warn others to get out of the pot before it boils also.

Yesterday we spoke on some of the prophecies that are happening all around us and some that are forming in front of our very eyes.

With all of them taking shape, what is the church as a whole doing?  They’re sitting in hot pot of water.

We talked about Israel yesterday quite a bit and they are the number one indicator on God’s time clock.  Another one we mentioned is the one world government that is being pushed on us and is coming together.

Daniel 7:16-17 – ¹⁶ I approached one of those standing there and asked him the meaning of all this.  “So he told me and gave me the interpretation of these things: ¹⁷ ‘The four great beasts are four kings that will rise from the earth.

Daniel 7:23-27 – ²³ “He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. ²⁴ The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. ²⁵ He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.

 ²⁶ “‘But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever. ²⁷ Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven will be handed over to the holy people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him.’

So we not only read about the one world government but the one world ruler as well in the above passage.  He signs a 7 year peace treaty with Israel.  A time to the Jewish people is 7 years.  Time, times half a time is three and half years.  That is when the antichrist breaks the treaty and defiles the temple.

The wonderful thing is it always ends with Christ coming down with His army and ruling for a thousand years. 

Another end time prophecy that is forming quickly is a one economic system.

Revelation 13:15-17 – ¹⁵ The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. ¹⁶ It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, ¹⁷ so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

Our Country is Trillions upon Trillions in debt.  It can’t be paid off and the last spurt in the economy was from credit debt.  We saw back in 2008 just how linked all the economies are.  When our markets started to fail, others started to fail.  The one economic system is coming because it will be the answer to the world’s monetary problem when they all fail.  It’s one of the biggest reasons people will be in awe of the antichrist.  It will also curb identity theft, monetary theft, etc.

This technology is being perfected now.  They will put a little chip in your right hand or forehead and it will work like a credit card.  There is a one world order group that wants the whole world done by 2017.

Wow it’s getting hot in the pot.  But most people don’t know it, because they don’t read or meditate on God’s Word.

Tomorrow we’ll wrap it up with a more prophecy that had to be possible before the Lord’s return.

As a whole and to a certain degree, (almost) all of us become numb to the obvious around us.

Major Bible Prophecies are happening in our time.  The most important ones that truly have to happen before the Lord‘s return for His Second Coming and before the seven year tribulation, have happened or are at the door. 

Israel becomes a nation – If Israel is not back in their homeland making sacrifices to God, then the following cannot happen.

Daniel 9:27 – ²⁷ He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.”

Just from this verse alone the antichrist has to be able to make a seven year peace treaty with the Jews.  They need to be sacrificing back into their rebuilt temple.  The Jews aren’t going to build their temple anywhere but on the old temple (many believe the Dome of the Rock is not on top of the old temple).  They need to therefore control Jerusalem.  There needs to be a one world ruler known by many as the antichrist.

Is any of this happening?  Yes.  Also those things that haven’t happened yet in the above paragraph are all coming together.  The Jews are already for their temple and to start sacrificing.  They are ready to accept the antichrist as their messiah instead of Jesus.  They have most of the utensils, garments, priesthood, etc, ready to go when it comes together.  The new world order groups, which are pushing us towards a one world government, are having a lot of success.  Number one thing they had to do was break America down in every way.  Spiritually, economically, heritage, national pride, sovereignty, etc.  They’re all happening.

Israel to the world will be a cup of trembling and burdensome stone.

Zechariah 12:2-3 – ²Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.

 ³And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

Number one priority of foreign affairs to Obama now is to push peace between Israel and the Palestinians.  Israel is the size of New Jersey.  It’s hated by all of its Muslim neighbors, yet it is the focal point of the whole world right now.  Since the day Israel declared its independence, its neighbors have tried to destroy her. 

It’s all happening, the water slowly keeps getting warmer and the frogs don’t think anything about it.  Tomorrow we’ll continue on with this message.

In Daniel chapter 7, Daniel had a dream of four beasts.  These beasts also represent the four empires that were present and were still to come.  The first beast represented Babylon, the second the Medes and Persians, the third was Greece, and the fourth represents the Roman Empire.  It’s on this beast that we see the mention of the horns.

Daniel 7:7-8 –   ⁷ “After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns
 ⁸ “While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully.

I wrote a postearlier on the ten hornsand my current take on it. 

It’s the little one that comes up from among them that is the focus here today.

Daniel was troubled and asked one who was there in the vision the meaning of the things he saw.  When he got to the fourth beast the scripture says:

Daniel 7:23-27 –   ²³ “He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. ²⁴ The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. ²⁵ He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.

 ²⁶ “‘But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever. ²⁷ Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven will be handed over to the holy people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him.’

In these verses we see that the fourth beast or revived Roman Empire devours the whole earth.  The other king is the little horn and he subdues or rips up three of the original ten kings.  This is also the second time in the chapter that Daniel indicates he is a boastful, proud individual and here he shows it by speaking against God.

I’ve heard Chuck Missler refer to him as Mr. Big Mouth.  I believe that is a very fitting name for the antichrist as he is going to be the world’s biggest politician and leader someday, which chooses to speak against God any chance he gets.

Tomorrow will be a part two but I didn’t name them that way because the two posts can stand on their own.
