Proverbs 19:8 – 8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul;
he who cherishes understanding prospers.
Where does wisdom come from?
Proverbs 2:6 – For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
Where do we find God’s wisdom as humans? In the BIBLE!
Here is some more on the one world government which is to come. Overkill?
No it just goes to show you there is quite a bit of prophecy concerning a one world government.
Daniel had another dream after Nebuchadnezzar had finished his kingship and Belshazzar had taken over. Daniel had the dream during Belshazzar’s first year as king. He saw four great beasts.
Daniel 7:3 – 3 Four great beasts, each different from the others, came up out of the sea.
Interesting how both Daniel and John speak of the nations. John speaks of the beast that comes from the sea.
Remember that in Daniel chapter 2 there were 4 kingdoms represented in the statue we read on earlier. The 4th kingdom had a change from straight iron to iron mixed with clay when they got to the feet.
Daniel’s dream in chapter 7 is going to reemphasize Nebuchadnezzar’s dream he interpreted in chapter 2.
It talks about 4 animals which are going to represent the 4 world governments.
Daniel 7:4 – 4 “The first was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted from the ground so that it stood on two feet like a man, and the heart of a man was given to it.
The Lion represented the Babylonian Empire. It’s possible that the wings signify the graceful swoop in which Nebuchadnezzar did when conquering the land. When the wings were torn off it could be explaining when Nebuchadnezzar was humbled by God in Daniel chapter 4 when he got too proud.
Daniel 7:5 – 5 “And there before me was a second beast, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, ‘Get up and eat your fill of flesh!’
The second beast is a bear. Bears are very powerful. It is believed that since it was raised up on one side that it had one half of its kingdom stronger than the other. History tells us that the Persians were stronger than the Medes and maybe this was what it was saying. The three ribs could be referring to its three major conquering which included Lydia, Babylon, and Egypt. The Medes reigned over the area of where Daniel was as we read at the end of chapter 5. Darius the Mede took over the night Belshazzar of Babylon was slain.
Next week we will go over the other two kingdoms that were considered one world governments.
I know the only Being that happens to know what the future brings! His name is God and we all were created by Him and Jesus!
Isaiah 46:9-10 – 9 Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. 10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.
That fact of the matter is many people want to know the future. What’s sad is most of them would rather be told something glamorous, or mysterious about their own lives instead of really wanting to know the future, because there is one who does know it. Every second of it, for every human that has lived or will live.
God has not predicted future events in the Bible. He has had men of God write about the things that will take place because God has seen them already. Since God is eternal, He sees time differently than we do.
I only used the title I can predict the future, because I’m predicting that God’s Word is right. Pretty bold aren’t I? I’m taking a book with a perfect prophecy record and while seeing all the end time prophecies coming together, I’m putting my endorsement on it.
That’s just the kind of risk taker I am. 🙂
God has let us know the events for the last days. They are now developing at a rapid pace. You don’t need a crystal ball, tarot cards, or palm reading. You just need a bible and a willingness to want to know the Truth.
If you have come across this post by accident, I write once a week on End Time Prophecies of the Bible. In fact since I am categorizing this under that category there should be quite a few under this post if you got here by the search engine.
You were wonderfully made by God. I hope you check the site out and add it to your favorites. If you don’t know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, my prayer is that you do before the end of this life. I have created a page over on the upper right column named “How to accept Jesus as Savior.”
God Bless.
I’m convinced many people believe this book exists in the Bible.
A lot of people have never cracked the Bible open and believe that God believes exactly the way they do.
If I had to take a stab of how the scripture starts in this book I would guess it looks like this:
Myself 1:1 – Whatever I believe is just fine with God since He gave me freewill to choose my own path. I have been made a certain way and however I feel about things is correct (even though I don’t think the same way in different times of my life).
Let’s continue to verse 2.
Myself 1:2 –God made me, but He could care less what I do with my life, how I act, and how I treat others. He gave me a brain to make the decision of rather I treated people well or done things correctly.
Myself 1:3- As long as I’m sincere about my belief, no matter what it is, I’m doing well in God’s eyes, because God is too busy to care about much of anything.
I was talking to someone the other day that believed that if you are sincere that you’re good to go. I asked that person, “So if someone blows themselves up and kills themselves along with 50 others in a terrorist act, they are good to go because they were dedicated and sincere?”
I’ll be doing another post called sincerely wrong in the future, so I won’t beat that one to death today.
(Actually that was already posted.)
Myself 1:4 – I told God once a long time ago that I loved Him and if it changed I’ll let Him know.
That’s not even working anymore in regular marriage. The divorce rate is around 50 percent.
Myself 1:5 – God would never send me to hell. Look at others around me. I’m doing pretty good based on the curve I’m using. Deep down I’m a pretty nice person. Sure I might have a few flaws, but who doesn’t?
We’re all majorly flawed. No one is good.
Romans 3:23 – 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 6:23 – 23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Grace is a free gift and the only way to get back with God is by making His Son Jesus Lord and asking for forgiveness. There is a penalty to pay. Now either you choose Jesus’ death to cover yours, or you pay the price after you die.
I invite you to go over to the right upper column of the blog page and click on “How To Accept Jesus As Savior”, if you have not done so in your life already.
You don’t have to be a great athlete to accomplish this feat. You don’t have to be rich. This is something every living human being can do.
Don’t get hung up on what happens to those who haven’t heard and have died. The Judge of the whole universe will make the right decision in those cases. That same Judge says if you do know, you need to accept the pardon.
God doesn’t believe the way fallen man does. I don’t think that’s really that hard to grasp. So He does think a certain way. He wants you to think that way. That way is in His Word and love letter to you.
It’s called the Bible and the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, is a great place to start.
The next supporting scriptures for Pre-Tribulation rapture support are found in Revelation.
Revelation 7:3-8 – 3“Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” 4Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.
5From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed,
from the tribe of Reuben 12,000,
from the tribe of Gad 12,000,
6from the tribe of Asher 12,000,
from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000,
from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,
7from the tribe of Simeon 12,000,
from the tribe of Levi 12,000,
from the tribe of Issachar 12,000,
8from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000,
from the tribe of Joseph 12,000,
from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000.
There is a thing known as replacement theology in the world. I am NOT one of those people. God made a promise to the Jewish people. The Bible couldn’t be clearer that this promise is still going to be fulfilled. The reason I bring that up is because the people sealed are Jews. Not Jehovah Witnesses, not people taking the place of these 144,000, these are 12,000 Jewish people from each of the twelve tribes of Israel.
So God is going to protect a remnant of Jewish people by putting a seal on their forehead.
What, none for the church? Why would God protect these 144,000 Jews and not the Church?
Not that big of an issue to the Church if they’re gone already.
When God comes back at the end of the Tribulation, He will rule and reign as the Jewish Messiah and over all who are left on the Earth. One thing that is very clear is replacement theology people don’t take the Bible literally.
Take the Bible literally. It’s God’s Word and it’s literally happening before your very eyes.
Well how exciting is that? Thank you Mr. Obama. Kind of strange for this quote to be coming from a self proclaimed Christian man.
In fact I don’t know too many true Christians that would brag to other countries in this world that America is no longer a Christian nation. I believe we have always had Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and other religions, in our Country. However, if President Obama is stating we are no longer a Christian nation, we must have been considered one before he volunteered that we are no longer one.
What has changed?
One thing that has changed is how people view things. Take for instance the percentage of people that call themselves Christians in this nation. In 2008 around the time Obama made his statement 76 percent of Americans called themselves Christian. So how offended were ¾ of all Americans? Enough to still elect him.
I don’t know about you but I would consider many of the Arab nations Muslim. I would consider Israel and Jewish nation. I would consider India a Hindu Nation.
So why is my self proclaimed Christian president so excited to indicate a nation that is self proclaimed 76% Christian, not just a Christian nation? I’ll let you ponder that one.
Maybe it’s because he knows most don’t care. Maybe it’s because he sees the breakdown of what the same people who call themselves Christians really believe. Have you ever looked at polling numbers and seen what self proclaimed Christians believe in when you break it down? It’s quite amazing really. You’ll no longer wonder why Christianity is losing ground in America and why there is a great falling away in these last days.
Matthew 24:10-13 – 10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.
