So, let us be through lights and directing people to Calvary, lord. Just thank you for this resurrection that you are alive, that that that you were not in a coma. You were actually dead, dead, dead.

Let there be light, buddy. Gotta squeeze it. And he's got the touch. Alrighty. Alright. Revelation chapter 17. Father, we come before you and again, we ask that you be our teacher. Lord, we consider it a privilege to be able to study the Book of Revelation, a privilege to be able to study chapter 17 and lord, it's it's not so easy and so we ask that you would teach us, that you'd bring clarity, that you would move and work upon our hearts and help us to see up ahead with Babylon as lord you're letting John see. You're pulling back the veil and and showing him the city of Babylon and what's gonna happen in these last days during the time of the beast and the beast system and all and lord as we see the beast system being redeveloped, being put in place, We pray that you would help us to be able to understand what's going on here that we might be able to share with other people how fascinating it is that two thousand years ago that you revealed this under John, the revelation of Jesus Christ, the apocalypse. And, Lord, we're living in apocalyptic times, biblical times, and I pray that more and more people, Lord, would turn to you in this time of uncertainty. And, that you would fill in the gap, that you fill in the as the pieces are coming together, lord. You'd help em put the pieces together and to see that everything's everything's happening according to your plan, lord. In Jesus name, amen. Amen. Alright, Revelation chapter 14 verse eight. 14 verse eight. And there followed another angel saying Babylon has fallen has fallen that great city because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And and that was that was during the chapter 14 verse eight and then in chapter 16 verse verse 19 and the great city and the great city was divided into three parts and the cities of the nations fell and great Babylon came in remembrance before god to give unto her the cup of the wine of the of the fierceness of his wrath. And so when we get to chapter 19, we're gonna see the second coming of the Lord and we're gonna see that, you know, it's the battle of almighty God in the Valley Of Megiddo, Valley Of Jezreel, the Valley Of Armageddon and as Babylon and the whole thing's going to happen at that time. So, this is providing more details of this fall of Babylon chapter seventeen and eighteen and so it's going to picture what we try to get people to understand prophetically there's a one world religious system coming and we're watching like with the Charlie Kirk thing. We're watching an apostate Christianity developing anything kind of goes and so it can be Mormonism, all the isms. You can blame all the isms and then a lot of people like to beat up on the Catholics in chapter 17 here and tied to the Catholic church but it's Protestants too. You know, and it's Mormons and it's JWs and it's Islam and it's all the isms. It's an allegation of all the different religious systems coming together and Babylon is used of the lord to remind people of the beginning in the city of Babylon in chapter ten and eleven where Nimrod who is the great great grandson of Noah he developed this one world religious system and means of astrology of building a tower up to heaven, a picture of religion of man's effort to reach god but Christianity is god's relationship with man and god becoming a man coming down from heaven and and we celebrate this week resurrection Sunday and and Good Friday or Good Thursday when Jesus was crucified and the Passover and all that led up to you know, the lamb of God prophesied of old to be cut off. We studied that in Palm Sunday. We looked at that briefly. And and the wife of Nimrod was Semiramis, and and then they had a son named Tamuz and Tamuz is a counterfeit Jesus Christ in the Babylonian religious system. So, way, way, way back then, the devil is already getting this thing going to counterfeit the coming of the son of man, the seed of the woman, the virgin born son of god and with this religious system out of Babylon and also one world religious system, I mean, a governmental system. They were wanting to have with all the languages being the same. They were in rebellion unto god and so he confounded the languages and he dispersed them and made them you know, nation states and holding them off for this one world governmental system that the devil's been trying to achieve. The devil's been trying to achieve this throughout all of history and he's made many many attempts and the lord has restrained the devil from achieving this. Now, what we're watching come together, it could be the lord would restrain again And it might mean the globalists have to wait fifty more years. World War two was an attempt to bring in the new world order, and Hitler rebelled against Russia where Russia and and Germany were in cahoots and they were working toward you know, occupying Poland and then Hitler just wanted it all. So then, the allies, everybody had to go after. Anyway, the lord confounded it, that effort with the League of Nations and with the effort of these globalists, these technates, these technocrats to try and get their one more global system. So, the lord held off because he's long suffering, not willing that any would perish but that all would come to repentance. So, he held it off so I get saved. So, you get saved. Amen. And he knows how many are going to be in that church. So, blindness and part is out in Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles come in. So, we're in the church age and we're looking. We see signs. We see the birth pangs and if we are to evaluate those birth pangs, one of them is Israel's in the land. So, after World War two, 05/14/1948, Israel was reborn as a nation fulfilling Ezekiel thirty six and thirty seven. So, unprecedented in history and and then with Israel in the land, now it's setting the stage for the Antichrist to come and the Antichrist temple to be built and the ashes of the red heifer and the offerings and things like that that fulfill what Jesus said Matthew 24 referring to Daniel, the abomination of desolation spoken by Daniel the prophet. So, we're watching we're seeing the birth things. We're seeing the signs of his coming and he said, when you see these things begin to come to pass and look up for your redemption draws nigh. So, Babylon is a distinct sign if you will of the Antichrist. It'll be his capital city. It'll be his political city. It'll be his religious city and his economic headquarters. So, we're watching presently. We're watching the wealth of the West moving to the East and next week when we look at the merchants and we look at the smoke coming up from it and all the goods and so Sunday, I told you to look on YouTube and type in trade routes. Start with trade routes and to help you do, I I'd mentioned use the IMEC, the India, Middle East, European corridor that's being built to distribute goods all the way from India all the way to Europe. And and then I also mentioned the Gaza Canal or Ben Gurion Canal through Gaza. There's a reason that Gaza is being scraped, that Gaza is being all the people there are being moved off of it. And that's because the Trumps and the globalists, the Jared Kushner's Israel, they wanna build one of these golden cities, these smart cities and all. So part of the modus operandi deceived people is in many cases. One guy was frustrated with me that Sunday I referred to a genocide taking place in Gaza and genocide of who? So the official story is that Israel is victim. They're victims. Now, I love Israel. I'm not an anti Semitic. I know they have a right to the land and I'll fight real hard for them but it doesn't mean everything they do is moral, is right. In fact, they're in rebellion against god. In the 77 of Daniel's, the time of Jacob's trouble where Israel's still in rebellion to god and god spanks him. Two thirds of them are going to perish and a one third remnants gonna go through that fire and be preserved but and even even if a foreigner tries to hurt them, Ezekiel thirty eight and thirty nine, Russia with a coalition, Gog Megon, coalition nations, and other nations come after him. God's gonna intervene and snuff them out. Five out of every six out of 80 force be wiped out. So, he's not going to let somebody else spank his kid but his kids are not in obedience unto him and so blindness in part, they don't believe in Jesus. So, in Gaza, if you have Palestinians that live there that are Christians, if you have Christians that live in Syria and that live in the Middle East, systematically, all those Christians and churches are being removed. That's what the Obama administrations did with their Arab Spring. People fled from Egypt. People fled from these places. You've got a revival going on in Iran. Are those Christians going to survive that are in Iran? Right? So when people say that there's 300, you know, tunnels that are under Gaza, you've gotta do your research and see, alright, who is Hamas? You know, who are the Hetzpala? Who are these proxy groups trying to hurt Israel? Who are they paid? Who pays them? Who paid ISIS? You know? The answer is American Israel pays these these groups because the modus operandi is to deceive the people. You've gotta play the victim to bring war, and then when war comes, you can scrape it, and you can bring in your new world order. But you can't just arbitrarily get rid of all those people that are living in Gaza. So the IDF soldiers were told to stand down when this October 7 thing happened. So they wanted the sympathy of the world to come when they're coming in, you know, to fight them and all these proxy armies. But remember, there's people in Iran. There's people in the Gaza region that are like you and me. They're caught in this political game that's going on, this war that's going on. And the objective of the devil, the objective of the globalist is to get rid of all the Arabs, the Palestinians, all of them, and they gotta get they they gotta use war as a means of getting rid of them. So a year ago, president Trump, and I gave this person videos, he's on television telling anybody that lives in Gaza, you need to move. You need to move and we will build you track homes. We will find countries that will receive you but you've gotta move. You either move or you're going to die. That's a genocide if you don't move. So, the people are crying out for somebody to listen, somebody to you know, come to their aid and it doesn't embolden me or cause me to hate Israel anymore than I want to hate America but it's the game that's being played to build the beast system. It's based on deception, and and that's what's taking place. And ultimately, when the lord Jesus returns, you know, everything will be made right. But presently, these trade routes, you've gotta you've got to you've gotta ruin the present tariffs, the present trade agreements. That's what the tariffs are used. They're like a wrecking ball to ruin trade agreements, economic agreements, And it's it's causing all the countries to move away from America and develop other trade routes, and so that's why the Chinese are developing the belt and road trade route, which is a resurgence of the old Silk Road, and it's in two parts. It's maritime with the ships, the big fleets of ships, and it's also just like the IMEC route. It's routes on the ground with rail and trucking and stuff. And then I remember I told you to look up the Al, A L Dash F A W Port that's being built in Iraq. It's the largest port facility in the world that's being built with roads, with canals, with a means of moving a lot of goods and services. So, next week, when we're in chapter 18, you're going to see these merchants, these ships that are coming there to Babylon, to Babylon. So, this is a hard chapter. These two chapters because there's so many commentators that would say, New York City is Babylon. Wall Street is Babylon. The economic center of the world is what they're talking about. Know, America is Babylon, and America's dollar and America's the economic system favors America because the world uses the dollar. And so, yeah, the economic system, Wall Street and and the stock market and all, has been centered since 1943 with the Brentwoods agreement where the dollar replaced the British sterling as the global currency. So Britain didn't cease to exist. They just ceased to be an empire. They ceased to be an economic power and a military power. But America rose up, so we began to be the boots on the ground, the military for the bankers. And so another interesting thing is that Iran is not has not been a part of the Rosh Chao banking system the same way that Saddam Hussein was not, same way Omar Qaddafi was not. So if you're not, then you get invaded, you get regime change, and then you become a part of the global economic system. So as this economic system is going forward, we saw in chapter 13, a digital system that the Bible declares everyone's gonna receive a mark on their right hand and their forehead. Every nation has to be a part of it. There's no rebels. Nobody can be not be a part of it. So that part's being set up. And and then the political system, the the confidence that people have in a constitutional republic and in America's waning, we are being clowns on the world stage. And so we're becoming the great Satan. We're they call us the great Satan, but we're becoming exactly what they've been calling us where people are losing confidence in our leaders with the Epstein files and all of the corruption that's taking place. It's been said, and I posted the video, that our government is the most, the present administration is the most corrupt administration ever. When when Biden does something wrong, everybody talks about it. But the insider trading this administration, president President Trump will make an announcement on his social media and when he makes an announcement about oil or or XRP or his Trump whatever and he might make that announcement at at 06:30 in the morning, and it goes throughout all the media. His staff, his family, they make put bets. They go on the stock market. They make bets at at 06:15, fifteen minutes before it hits everybody else, and they make enormous amounts of money over and over and over again. That's insider trading. They're getting enormously wealthy, dollars 13,000,000,000 just since January with their cryptocurrency, the Trump cryptocurrency. So, it's it's now the now the greatest deception is not when the devil appears as the devil with a red horn. The greatest deception is when he appears as an angel of light or a minister of righteousness and that's what this whole Trump thing has been, this mega thing and even them praying and all that praying and all that stuff they're doing, it's deception because Jesus said, you'll know them by their fruit. Their actions speak louder. So, we're not saying they don't throw a few little tidbits here and there for you so that you jump on board but in the big picture, they're building the beast system and they're telling people that this is Armageddon. You know, they're the military is telling the soldiers, we're going to implement Armageddon and that means Jesus will come back, you know? So, they're they're taking the scriptures. They're taking the word of god and they're trying to use it to convince people that this is god's work. This is this is god's work and then Peter Thiel, founder of Palantir with Alex Carp. He's going around. He's he's a homosexual you know, unbeliever and he he's and he's the one that groomed the mascara wearing JD Vance. Ever look at JD Vance's eyes? He wears mascara. It's it's his bromance or manscape, they call it. Anyway, that he's been groomed, and he's a Catholic with a a Hindu wife. Right? And and so, anyway, he's he's groomed the the vice president. And so these technocrats, these globalist technocrats with the Stargate, the Genius Act, the Genesis Act, everything's moving forward to get this peace system in place. And ultimately, it's gonna be headquartered in what we're reading about, Babylon. And and The Middle East is gonna have a transfer of wealth to the Middle East where it's gonna become the capital or the center of wealth as Wall Street in New York has been in the past and also the Bank of London. Bank of International Settlements is the number one globalist bank of the Rothschild family. And but they like to hide under the radar. But that's the one where XRP is tied to. The Bank of International Settlements. And but every single nation has got to come on board. And so and this is satanic. It's a satanic effort at replacing God. And so the people are going to want to worship the antichrist which we saw in chapter 13 is compulsory and so the counterfeit trinity involved but but that system has to be rebuilt and that system is being rebuilt right now and I might basically today here's how I would say it. If you don't wake up you're not going to be able to keep up. Do you understand what I mean? Are There people that are asleep still and so as I'm moving forward teaching, we're being confirmed. We're being vindicated in what we've been saying for the last three years. But if you don't wake up, if you're still asleep, we're gonna keep moving forward. We're learning every day. More and more pieces of the puzzle coming together. But if you're gonna watch Fox News and if you're gonna watch these pastors that are too afraid to expose things, then you're gonna get left behind. You're not gonna be able to put the pieces together and understand what's happened. You're gonna be late to the game. You're gonna be late to the party. And so I'm I'm just trying to get you to let go of how you've been lied to so that you can analyze and look at what's coming and how it's coming. So, in regard to Israel, Israel is in rebellion to god. When the temple gets rebuilt, that's not a god thing. That's not something the Trump administration and Hag said and everybody should jump up and down saying, we did god's work. That's an affront against god. But see how they spin it? They spin it as we're doing god's work because the bible says there's gonna be a temple. Well, what's that temple about? The antichrist is going to that temple and declare himself to be god. It's all about deception. They're gonna be a peace treaty, you know, a covenant made, and that's the start of the tribulation period. So it it it's mind boggling to me that that it's not properly interpreted what's happening. So it's not my imagination. It's it's happening. So, anyway, Babylon, it it might be it might it might at this point feel like incredibly crazy that we would say that Babylon's literally being rebuilt, that this city described here, and that the religious system is literally coming together as you watch at the Charlie Kirk Memorial. You could see it. You could see all these different religious groups at the memorial coming together with an ecumenical oneness that we're all one, you know, inclusiveness. We're all included. And and you watch the apostasy of the Protestant church falling away from the word of God and able to be so incredibly deceived. The antichrist is gonna deceive the whole world. So again, chapter 17, and there came out of the seven angels my eyes. Seven angels who had the seven bowls, bowl judgments, and talked with me, saying unto me, come here. I will show unto thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth on the many waters. And so we've gotta identify the great harlot. The great harlot, harlotry, fornication. It's an apostate church. God likens idolatry to fornication, to idolatry. And spiritual idolatry, spiritual fornication, and and this this is the apostate religious system that's headquartered in the city called Babylon. And again, going back to Babylon, Nimrod, Semiramis, Tammuz, in Canaan, this she was known as Astereth and also known as Baal, when you hear about Baal worship or the worship of Astereth. When when Elijah killed the 450 prophets of Baal and Jezebel brought the Sidonian princess, she brought in this worshiping, this this apostate religious system into Israel. She had the 400 prophetesses of Astrith that she protected because 450 of the the prophets of Baal were executed by Elijah on Mount Carmel. And then in Greece, she's known as Venus. She's known as Cupid. This is a fertility goddess and then in Egypt, she's known as Osiris and check this out. She's known as Isis in Egypt and and we funded the development of ISIS. We did. And Obama administration gave them Toyota pickup trucks and just everything, white tennis shoes and millions and millions of dollars, airplane loads of dollars to Iran and Syria and the whole area, and it's a destabilization of the Middle East getting ready for the beast system. The Christians stand in the way. And the same thing is true of Gaza. It's being scraped. President Trump out of his own mouth, we're gonna get in there and get rid of the bombs. We're gonna scrape it. We're gonna rebuild it. He's got this whole vision with Jared Kushner, what they're gonna build. And so make no mistake about it, you know? I've never heard them say we're gonna build new churches. Not gonna hear it. So, but they'll use the name of the lord, you know, to justify what they're doing. Hey, we're doing god's work And I was telling you, Peter Thiel, he goes around giving lectures on the Antichrist. And he says, this system that we're building, the Stargate system, is needed because otherwise, Antichrist is gonna come. So he's acting like he's gonna stop the antichrist from coming, which is mind boggling to me. Know? Wanted to call good evil and evil good. I mean, here building it for the antichrist. Don't fool me. You're fooling me. And so chapter 17 verses one through six is the first half of the tribulation period. And then as we continue through the chapter, we'll see the picture of Babylon at the at the end being destroyed. So, saying that me, come here and I'll show you under thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters and so that word sitteth you can go down verse three saw a woman sit upon a scarlet beast and then you go over to verse 15 and he says unto me, the waters which thou sawest where the harlot sitteth are people, multitudes, nations, and tongues. So, if I were to interpret this where the harlot sitteth is Babylon, I might be inclined to say, you know, the Euphrates and the Tigris River right there. Right? But verse 15 just told me what those waters are. The waters are these nations. Sitteth upon the waters. Remember how we talk about the waters being a picture of the nations. And great heart that sitteth upon the many waters. So many nations. And and this great harlot, she's sitting upon the many waters. She's lording over the nations. She's Constantine got the church to be nationalized, and the the world went through what was the dark ages when the Roman Catholic church merged with government. It's the merging of the church with government or spiritual groups with government. And it's always these spiritual groups that do more damage to people than it is governments. They do it in the name of the Lord. They're crusaders. And they look how Islam is. And so we see her authority. The great harlot that sitteth upon the many waters. With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication. So here you have the kings of the earth, the 10 kings, the 10 regions that are gonna use. Hitler said that he wanted to use the church, that they were a rotten wall that he could topple at any moment he wanted to, but that the church, the Lutheran Church in Germany was used useful unto him. So, you've got 700 pastors that resisted the Naziification of the church where you remove the cross and you put Hitler's Hitler's imagery in all the churches. 700 of them. Only 700 resisted. Two of whom we know. One is Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the other Admiral Niem Ruhler. And Niem Ruhler, he was once a Navy Admiral in Germany, came a pastor, and a guy came in the prison where he was being held and he said, you know, Pastor Niem Ruhler, why are you here? And he says, why aren't you here? And so a lot of people when they see these things kinda happen and starting to happen in times in which we're living, they clam up. They don't wanna say anything because it'll mean they lose people. And it's not gonna be real popular to expose the wickedness and expose the evil, but it'll keep you and I ready. It'll keep you and I, and our faith isn't gonna fail. I posted a video today where the megachurches are are failing. Lots of the megachurches are failing. And the reason is is many of the people are finding out that when they go through suffering, when they lose a loved one or go through a divorce, they don't have any verse to deal with it. They never learned how to deal with adversity. They were taught that they were winners and their winning verses don't work. It's a counterfeit Christianity and a lot of people are waking up to it that we want authentic Christianity. And COVID taught people to stay at home. So, lot of people still consider themselves Christians. They just don't go to church and they they've lost I mean, what if your church shut down? What if your church received money for shutting down? Would you go back to that church? If you knew that COVID was a lie, if you knew your pastor was deceived and the church was deceived and but they just brush it off and now now people with myocarditis and people dying from that jab, would you would you blow it off like it's no big deal? Just business as usual? Well, there's people waking up. And when they're waking up, they recognize that, you know, that church lost credibility with me. It it didn't seem to be a church that was in tune with the holy spirit, and it looks like a business to me. And so they were talking about how enormously expensive it is to have these mega churches. And with these 40,000,000 people leaving, how many of these churches had to close and they're being sold and in Europe, a lot of these churches from from years ago are being turned into mosque and all. In America here, we'll see the same thing. We'll see these huge buildings that were once churches be turned into apartment buildings and things like that, you know, and escalators, all that kind of stuff. So with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, so there's a joining together. We have a a letter from Thomas Jefferson when a Baptist preacher, a Baptist pastor came from England because they had a state run church in England and they came to America for religious freedom. Imagine that. And they're willing to fight for it too. And so one of the Baptist ministers wrote a letter Thomas Jefferson is there going to be a separation of church and state? And Thomas Jefferson wrote back absolutely. There will be a wall of separation between the church and state. And you know for one hundred and fifty years that wall of separation was interpreted as the church is free from intrusion by the government. We would not have a state run church. But in '19 in the fifties, a senator named Lyndon Baines Johnson, he almost lost an election in the state of Texas to a Christian. And the Christian had the churches, all the churches wanting to vote for this guy. And so Linda Baines Johnson initiated legislation with the brand new IRS, didn't have an IRS either afterward, but brought that in after World War two with the Rockefellers. And they made it a censorship that as long as you don't talk about government, you churches can be tax exempt. Well, you've been tax exempt for a hundred and fifty years. You had the freedom to minister in the community if people are sick. You're the ones that would go to them. You're the ones that would feed them. You didn't have all the social, the new deal that came out of World War II, the socialization of our country. No, the churches were there, and the churches were recognized at providing spiritual, emotional, physical support for society. And so then the churches became greedy to make lots of money by but the only thing they needed to do is never talk politics. Stay out of politics. And every time something would happen in the schools and right after the Linda Baines Johnson thing, '61 '63, the Bible was taken out of school. Prayer was taken out of school. How could you go one hundred and fifty years and your first your first book that you had printed as a government was the Bible for the public school. That was that was what you used to teach children to read. How does it change one hundred and fifty years later? That's a violation of church and state. Yeah. Yeah. How do you twist that around and the Christians believe that lie. And everything after thereafter is always people spouting off separation of church and state, you know? And even even us when we had the daycare, that's one of the things they, the reason they shut us down is because we were teaching the Bible. That was the reason we were shut down is we were teaching the Bible to these children whom the parents, even pagan parents, parents that don't go to church, wanted us to teach their children the Bible. Right. You know, and the church the licensers from the state of Washington said, no. There's a separation church and state. We're not gonna fund the indoctrination of these children even though they're two grades ahead of the public school. They told us twice to put the kids in the head start reading program and, you know, no no abecca curriculum, no Christian curriculum. And so we said, no, there's a separation of church and state. You're not we're at a state run church, you know? And so we got shut down. But Praise the Lord. Yeah. So anyway, there there's a marriage here. There's emerging. There's a fornication of the two coming together, and they committed fornication. The inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. And so people are intoxicated with the power lording over the people and influence of this false religious system in every facet of life is imposed upon the people. You can make it a religious thing. Know, in in China, the religion is to worship the, you know, Mao, worship the government, worship communism, and that's gonna be heightened here. It's gonna be a tyranny. And the state, the opiate of the people, Karl Marx said, is religion. Well, the opiate of the people, the thing that drives them. And you'll see in the book of Revelation the emphasis upon sorcery and witchcraft and occult. And so you can see how demonic that religious system is going to be and to intoxicate people. And I can see where it's gonna be such a tumultuous time, a time where people are gonna want to die but can't die. And Jesus said a time the world's never seen or seen again. People are gonna rely upon occultism, some means of escape, whatever means of escape, sexual immorality, and a lot of drugs, a whole lot of drugs to numb them to reality. And it'll be part of the religious system, the peyote buttons, the LSD, the marijuana, meth, whatever kind of drugs they can get their hands on as a means of the sorcery, which is the pharmakia, the witchcraft, and and the church is gonna be right there with them. So you're gonna have you're gonna go to church and they're gonna pass out gummies for you, you know, the the give you a little buzz, you know. So they may have drunk on the wine of the fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit. So John the revelator is brought into the realm of the spirit. He gets out of this realm and he's in the realm of eternity. He's able to see like in a time machine up ahead and the lord shown him a vision, showing him what's happening and so he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet beast full of names of blasphemy having seven heads and and 10 horns And and so the alliance that they're creating here and the woman being the apostate religious system and and the scarlet covered beast is is the rebirth of the Roman Empire. The scarlet color of red and purple is Rome. So this rebirth Roman Empire is the governmental system that this woman, this religious system, is upon. So she's relying upon the government, but also in such a way dominant of the government and reaching the upper hand in many ways and so there's a point where the government destroys the woman that rides the beast and that's at the midpoint where the Antichrist goes and declares himself to be god, demands to be worshiped as god. And as Hitler said, I can throw down that rotted fence anytime I want. Well, that's what the Antichrist does. And then he demands in that next form of government where he wipes out three of the 10 and he becomes the eighth, and they give over their sovereignty unto him. And so he's a complete dictator ruler, but he's also declares himself to be god and demands to be worshiped as God. So that whole false religious system is set aside, and now he introduces a demonic system of the worship of the dragon, and which is what Satan's always wanted. Right? And so, and now we see her wealth and the woman was arid in purple and scarlet color or let me back up and names of blasphemy having seven heads and ten ten horns. So, that's that's the government. And and the woman was aerated in purple and scarlet color, which is very expensive, bedecked with gold and precious stones and and pearls. And you see some of the pastors today making $50,000,000 a year. Some of these celebrity pastors. It's nothing for the guys to make a million dollars a year nowadays. Churches are extremely wealthy especially these megachurches and these guys sell a lot of books and they say, oh, it's my books, you know? And regardless, very, very wealthy. And there's a point where when the government gets tired of her, he's gonna confiscate all the wealth, take all the wealth of the churches, all their assets, everything gonna be taken away. So the pearls having golden cup in their hand, full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication, so extremely corrupt, extremely corrupt. And I don't want to be a part of a corrupt church. I don't want to compromise so that we have it easier so that we have more money and invite corruption in. We're supposed to be the opposite of that. We're supposed to be salt and light. We're supposed to slow off the putrification, the corruption of the world. So we're to stand for righteousness and to not not compromise or negotiate or give in to the pressure when they offer us money, when they offer us an easier way. I'm not gonna do it. Jesus is not for sale. That's what I tell him. I'm not gonna prostitute Jesus. He's not for sale. You know? And so the abomination filthiness of of her fornication and upon her forehead was a name written. Mystery Babylon. So, this is going back to where it was originated. The Hebrew scriptures give a picture of Babylon chapter ten eleven in Genesis and in Genesis ten eleven that of Nimrod and Semiramis and Balan Tamuz and in Ezekiel eight fourteen they were forbidding the weeping. People were weeping for Tammuz. In Jeremiah seven eighteen, they were making cakes for the queen of heaven. Do you see the queen of heaven with Mary and and entrenched in the Roman Catholic church? And then in Jeremiah forty four seventeen through 19 and Jeremiah forty four twenty five, they were offering incense unto Cimaramus unto Tamuz. So, that was an unholy trinity. Cimaramus claimed that Tamuz was miraculous conception, born and all, and so that Babylonian system continues and presents himself as a fertility god which means your crops are going to go better and you're going be prosperous and production in that way. So, mystery Babylon the great. So, a mystery is something once hidden now revealed. So, from the Hebrew scriptures, the Old Testament, you didn't see this advent. You didn't see that up ahead that the Antichrist would use Babylon or the resurgence or rebirth of Babylon. You didn't see it. It took John here in the book of Revelation to reveal this. So, this is a revelation. The church is a mystery once hid now revealed and when we're in chapter two of the book of Ephesians, remember when you saw that? The church was hidden. In the Old Testament, the emphasis upon Jesus returning for the nation of Israel and unbelievers, people that weren't Jews, they needed to be proselytes. They needed to become Jews. So the church was hid. And so when the nation of Israel rejected the Messiah, then we have the church age which starts with Jews and Gentiles and our Messiahs are Jews. So, the bride of Christ, the nation of Israel is the wife of Jehovah and the church, the bride of Christ. So, once hid now reveals. So, mystery Babylon the great, the mother of harlots. So, the mother originating in Babylon, Babel, Babel, and and all that religious system that we that I've been saying referring to of Nimrod, Semiramis, Tamuz, and and then carrying over with, like I said, with bow worship, whether it's the Philistines or whether it's a Sidonian princess from Phoenicia, you know, Jezebel, so many of the wives that King Solomon married, foreign wives, he was told not to multiply horses, not to multiply wives, and the wives that he multiplied of foreign nations stole his heart and introduced idolatry to the children of Israel. So he would have to build them temples. They would wanna worship according to their customs. So Solomon was building all these temples and stuff for his his wives, and it became a pollution that couldn't be removed from the nation. The nation was so immersed in in this idolatry that god sends Ezekiel and he sends Jeremiah and Isaiah and Hosea and Habakkuk and all these prophets to warn the nation and then finally in May, the lord uses Babel, the Babylonians to destroy Jerusalem, to destroy the temple, and to take the the remnant of the people to Babylon for seventy years and before that in July, he used the Assyrians to wipe out the 10 northern tribes. So, May took out Judah and Benjamin and so the nation was being disciplined, spanked because of their giving themselves over to this mother of Babylon. So, the lord puts the Jews in the very center, the capital city of idolatry and we're told that the Jews began to lose their affinity or their desire, their appetite for idolatry. Seventy years of being just rubbed their nose in it. And and they began to embrace commerce. They saw how Babylon was also a commercial city. And and that's what Babylon's gonna be in the future. Commercial city, a religious city, and a a political. Is this not great Babylon which I have built that Nebuchadnezzar said in Daniel five? And so so mystery of Babylon. So Nimrod built Babel, and then god confounded the languages, and then Nimrod moved. He was a mighty hunter. Then he moved over to the area of Assyria and he built another city called Nineveh. So, he was prolific in that sense. But a hunter, he was in rebellion unto god. The mother of harlots and abominations of the earth. So introducing these abominations and the idolatry, astrology that was it a pyramid that he's building up to the sky was for observation with trying to reach their gods, the false gods, the demons that were deceiving and with astrology. And notice her aggression. Notice how aggressive she becomes. And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints. So these are the saints of Revelation six verse nine, the martyrs that are crying out beneath the throne of God. How long, oh lord? You know, how long till you judge these that have that have executed us and I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the the saints and the blood of the martyrs. So, the two witnesses you know, killed and of Jesus and when I saw her, I wondered with great wonder, great wonder like, what is up with this? Where did this come from? John's like, hey, the Old Testament doesn't reveal this, you know? Resurgence of Babylon, really? This whole religious system and all that's gonna happen up in the future. Really, the nation of Israel is gonna apostatize to that great degree and the world's gonna apostatize. Word apostasy can also be the word of rebellion, a departure from the truth, a departure from god's word in rebellion unto god. And then says verse seven. And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and the martyrs of Jesus, and when I saw her, I wondered with great wonder. Verse seven, and the angel said unto me, why did thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her. So, the beast is carrying the woman. I'll tell you the mystery. Which has the seven heads Somebody's getting some good Zs, baby. Have it in stereo right now. It's almost think he's throw throw a little cookie in there. Man, if that was James, it would sound so loud as well. Can't be sleeping. It's the abomination of desolation. So why they're emphasizing it or what? Mystery Babylon the gray. Yeah. Okay. From Jeremiah fifty one seven. And you go ahead and read that. Okay? And so, again, we go back to Babylon, her role as the mother, the originator. This is where it started and what she did previously. But in the New Testament, this is a mystery that was hid and now it's being revealed again. Oh, we're going back to the origin of this. This is nothing new. This fulfillment thereof. And and so Jeremiah fifty and fifty one describes the destruction of Babylon. Mystery Babylon The great, the mother of harlots, and so the mother of all the false religious systems, all the fornication, all the harlots, all the prostituting. It's not like we said, you can't just say Roman Catholicism is, you know, the beast or the the the harlot. It's it's Protestants. It's apostate Protestantism. So many religious systems, so many denominations that started out really well like the Methodist movement, Martin Luther, the Lutheran movement. John and Charles Wesley did the Methodist. Right? Churches exploded. Martin Luther, the Lutherans, but today, they're they don't represent the founders, the ones that founded them. They're very liberal. They lack the holy spirit. They lack the teaching the word. They're woke. They bring in the LBGTQ. And so that's apostasy. And it's not just them either. You can go right down the list of former denominations that started out and so, there's a cycle typically that I was taught. The eyes of the lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show himself strong on behalf of a man whose heart is perfect toward god. So, god does, he looks for a man. So, he finds a man named Abraham and through Abraham, he's going to bring forth a lineage that's going to bring forth a nation, right? And so, he finds a man and with this man, then he develops a movement. So, we would say, pastor Chuck's the man and then for forty years, we have the Calvary Movement but in that movement, there's a point of great success and then that point of great success, maybe twenty years into the movement, fifteen years in the movement. Now, we take and we institutionalize the distinctives of what a Calvary Chapel is and why it's so popular with people and now it becomes a machine. So, it's a man, a movement, a machine, and it does real well. Charles Spurgeon is going to draw a lot of people but then when he dies, when the founder, Martin Luther dies, when John and Charles Wesley die, when Chuck Smith dies, when John MacArthur dies, then the group after him, what they do, the mistake they made, they make, and Chuck always warned us of this, then it becomes a monument. Everybody's always looking back, talking about Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, Chuck. I'm a Chuckite. And although we appreciated all that was good at the time, the Holy Spirit said, hey, I don't want any No, it's we call it an old wineskin. We don't want an old wineskin. God wants to pour in new wine. So, if you try to pour new wine, the wine of the Holy Spirit into an old wineskin, the wineskin can't handle and it bursts, Jesus said. So, if the church doesn't stay, like I said earlier, you know, you you can't go to sleep. If you go to sleep, you're going to get left behind because the Holy Spirit's always moving. Always moving forward, right? So, if you're going to try and live in the past as a pastor or a group or whatever, the lord's going to say, I need to go start over. I need to find a man. So that I can get things moving, right? And so you have dead denominational systems. You have systems that are dying. So, Rick Warren isn't dead yet but his Saddleback Church, you know, used to have twenty, thirty, zero people. There's not that many. Calvary Chapel goes to Mesa only has 400 people now. Used to be twenty, zero, you know? So, oh yeah, only 400. Yeah. And they sell the conference center, they start selling assets because they don't have the people anymore to support everything. Then what happens is the family members wind up being caretakers, and they wind the thing down during their lifetime spending the assets. You know? And so that's what happens. But what I like about Calvary Chapel is we're not a denomination, and we are what we call autonomous. So we have the privilege and the freedom of being poor, being small. And what that means is we're relying on the holy spirit. Amen. And god we're ready for god to do whatever he wants to do, but we're not in a denominational structure where we're supported and propped up and and where the wine is is dead. We're relying on the holy spirit every day. You know? And and we wanna be used of god every day. So, we're not trying to make up something new but because we aren't looking backwards and paralyzed with the past, it keeps us in the present tense anticipating prophetically, you know, the the return of the Lord. And that's a that's a healthy place to be. You don't want to fall asleep. You don't want to live with the dis with under deception. You're deceived. And success, prosperity, can put you to sleep and make you susceptible to deception. You can be deceived because you wanna hold on to what you got. And now you lost your intensity. So every now and then every now and then, the church needs to face some good old persecution to stir it up. I guarantee the church in Iran under persecution is not lukewarm. People are dying for their faith. Right? And they're listening to the Holy Spirit, and it means a lot to them. So so I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus and when I saw her, I wondered with great wonder. And the angel said unto me, why do you wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her which has the seven heads and 10 horns. And so notice chapter 13 verse one, the beast. 13 verse one, and I stood upon the sand of the sea and saw a beast rise up out of the sea. Remember the seas, the wash, the water of the nations. We saw that in verse one and verse 15. Having seven heads and 10 horns and upon his horns 10 crowns. And upon his heads he came the name of blasphemy. So if we look back to Nebuchadnezzar's dream that Daniel interpreted in chapter two, he talked about four dominating the times of the Gentiles, Luke nineteen twenty nineteen forty one or whatever. And the times of the Gentiles is where there's Gentile global world rule. So that first global government was the Babylonians, the head of the head of gold. Right? And that second in that picture, in that that statue that Nebuchadnezzar saw and built, that second one was the Medo Persian Empire that Daniel five overcame Belteshazzar, the grandson of of Daniel. And and then you have Alexander the Great, and then you had the iron mixed with the clay, the Roman Empire. And so those were the four global empires that that Daniel interpreted from Nebuchadnezzar's vision, and god's showing the future with that, these four global empires. And then he shows that there would be a rebirth of that empire, that that Roman empire would would become the feet of 10 toes. And the 10 toes is the rebirth Roman empire at the end of the age now, and the world would be divided into 10 regions and 10 kings. So it's 10 toes, which are 10 kingdoms under that imperial imperial form of government that Romans are gonna implement. And then we see in Daniel seven ten horns and the horns are again interpreted as kings and kingdoms come together as one working together and then we also see in Daniel seven that three of the kings fight against the eleventh one, the eleventh horn, the little horn, which is the Antichrist, and then three are taken out. He becomes the eighth and so at the start of the tribulation period, you're going to have a global government. Daniel seven twenty three, a global government, the rebirth Roman Empire with 10 kings. At the midpoint, somewhere in there, the Antichrist that's a part of that, he's the eleventh. As I said, he three of them fight against him and he gains, we're going see in this chapter here, he gains complete dictatorship where the other seven give over their sovereignty unto him. They don't you know, he's he's in charge. And then you'll see in Revelation 13 like we just saw, it'd be interpreted as 10 crowns, 10 kings, and but it starts back in Babylon with 10 toes, 10 horns, 10 crowns, 10 kings, and we've got the 10 kings who haven't as yet received the kingdom or a part of the board of peace. Ain't that fascinating? Not 11, not nine. President Trump, 10. The board of peace in The Middle East and they're going to be a governing body with greater authority than the United Nations. They're getting rid of the United Nations, right? Ain't that fascinating? Very fascinating. Alright. So, an angel said unto me, why do you wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her which has the seven heads and the 10 horns. The beast that you saw, now notice this is the assassination chapter 13. This is where the beast is killed and then resurrected. The counterfeit resurrection of Jesus. So, the beast that you saw was and is not shall ascend out of the bottomless pit and go into perdition and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world. When they behold the beast that was and is not and yet is. Now when you go to Isaiah chapter 14, you you can turn there. Isaiah 14. Oh. This this beast is is a pompous in in in Daniel chapter seven, a pompous boaster. Just boasting his name everywhere, everything, you know. And who can make war with the beast, you know. Let's see. Okay. In chapter 14, look at what Lucifer does in his rebellion. He says verse 12. Well, verse 11, thy pump is brought down to hell and the noise of thy loots, the worm is spread under thee and the and the worms over thee. And so, how art thou fallen from heaven, oh Lucifer, son of the morning? How art thou cast down to the ground who did weaken the nations For thou hast said in thy hearts, so now it's a picture in heaven, his five I will statements. For thou hast said in thy heart, I will ascend unto heaven. He's got an eye problem. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation the size of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. I will be like the most high God. Wow. Now, that's his sin and that's his ambition and that's his pride. Jesus said, whoever exalts himself shall be abased. Humble yourself in the side, lord. He'll lift you up. This is Satan's fall. Yet, thou shalt be brought down to hell to the sides of the pit. Now, watch this. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee and consider thee saying, is this the man who made the whole earth to tremble? Who did shake kingdoms? When he gets snuffed out by Jesus, according to second Thessalonians two, with the brightness of his coming, the sword of his mouth, his body is just laying on the ground. Yeah. And people, men are looking at him like, wait a minute. You are the one that weakened the nations. You're the one that we thought nobody could war with. You're the one. You're you're our champion. You're our Goliath. You're the one that we thought could defeat god, you know? But and notice, is this the man? He's not a god. Is this the man who made the earth to tremble? Who did shake kingdoms? Who made the world like a wilderness and destroyed its cities? Who opened up the house of his prisoners? You know? And and he's not going to get a grave and all the kings of the nations, even all of them that lie in glory, everyone in his own house, but you are cast out. So, normally, kings get a kings get a burial. But you are cast out of your sepulchre like an abominable branch and the raiment of those that are slain thrust through with a sword that go down to the stones of the pit like a carcass trampled under feet. Thou shall not be joined with them in burial because thou has destroyed thy land and slain thy people and the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. Prepare slaughter for his children and the iniquity of his father that he do rise not nor possess the land nor fill the face of the world with with cities. So a dead posterity. No kids. Nothing. And I'll rise up against them saith the lord of hosts and cut off from Babylon, you know, the very name and all and and so god's going to deal with Babylon and deal with the ruler behind them. So, in Daniel 10, when Michael the archangel shows up, you know, he's been fighting with the prince of Persia and then he describes in chapter 10 how he's going to go back and fight with the prince of Greece but Greece wasn't a nation right then, was was she? But already, up ahead, there's principalities and powers that are fighting over these regions and these places and Babylon is the same way. It's the devil that's behind Babylon. Alright. So, chapter 17 again, verse verse eight. So, the beast that you saw was and is not and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit and go into perdition. So he's gonna go right right into hell. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world when they behold the beast that was and is and is not. So that had that false resurrection, they're gonna wonder, what's with this guy? I didn't think he could die. I didn't think he could go to hell. I thought we had eternity. I thought we rejected the truth and we believed the lie. God gave us over a strong delusion that we'd never die. The whole world thought they'd never die, that they'd live forever. What's up? We're wondering. This is crazy. And here is the mind which has wisdom. Now, when I come to these next few passages, these are very, very difficult passages. I can understand why pastors don't teach the Book of Revelation. I can understand why people like to allegorize and make symbols of things and. Pardon me? It's scary. Well, it's not scary. It's just it's just It is for the unbeliever. Everything's scary for the unbeliever. God hasn't given us the spirit of fear but power of love and a sound mind. So I'm just saying with all humility where it says here, and here is the mind which has wisdom. I don't know if my wine mind has wisdom. So, today, when I was studying, I said, lord, give my mind wisdom. Yeah. Help me, lord. Help me, lord, to understand what's going on here And because this is pretty tricky. Alright. So, got a lot of commentators, people that teach the Book of Revelation and a lot of different opinions on this stuff. I mean, again, you're gonna hear people say that Babylon is is Wall Street. Babylon is America. America's gonna be destroyed. America's gonna burn. I hear that all the time. Guys on Steve Quail, they've had visions of America just being on fire. You know? It's twenty years ago, they had these visions, and they've been saying for twenty years, America's Babylon. It's going down. It's going down. You know? And a lot of people run with that, you know? And and then other people saying, it's Rome. It's Rome. Guess we're gonna see here there's seven mountains. And they say Rome's built on seven hills, you know? And a lot of commentators, it's Rome. It's Rome. You know? Babylon is Rome, you know? And Babylon is Babylon. Literal Babylon is the best way I can go with it. But as far as world empires, as far as the the word usage here of heads, seven, and then five, then 10, then eight, then seven. You gotta look closely at head. You gotta look closely at what do mountains mean. You gotta look at horns because we gotta go horns. We gotta go back to Daniel seven to see the horns, the 10 horns, and three wiped out. And so we'll do our best. Right? Okay. But I could tell you I I'm the guy that figured it out. Right? Just listen to me. Kathy says, you're a dope on a rope. You don't know nothing. I hear that a lot. He says, a dope on a rope. I know she's kidding. Right? You're a dope on a rope. Why would I follow you? No. I never said that. Oh. Alright. You're here. Right? Yep. Okay. And and here is the mind which has wisdom. You're looking at em. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. Okay. So, some are going to interpret that as seven hills and Rome sits on seven hills, right? So, it's Rome. Okay, we're going to reject that. Mountains means kingdoms. Okay? And we're going to we're going to see here. Kings, it's going to tell us what what the mountains are in the next verse. And here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits, which are kingdoms, kings and kingdoms. And there are seven kings, five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come. Not Burger King. And when he cometh, he must continue a short space. Alright. Here we go. So there's seven kingdoms. Now some would interpret it as seven global ruling dynasties. So they would go with Egypt. They would go with the Syria. They'd go with what we learned before because we weren't told about Egypt and the Syria being global. Right? When Nebuchadnezzar had his vision, when he had the the chest of the helmet of gold and then the chest of silver and the bronze and the iron. You know, we saw those four dominating Gentile nations as Babylon and historically, we know Babylon, Greece, or Babylon, Medo, Persia, Greece, and then Rome. And then Rome divides into two and spreads out, and then there's the rebirth of that fourth one. That fourth one that comes back at the end of the age, which is Rome, rebirth of the Roman Empire. We had no knowledge of Egypt and Assyria. So guys are looking at Egypt and Syria. Well, Egypt used to rule. Assyria used to rule. So they're trying to help themselves interpret this right now because it's it's difficult. So Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and then Rome. So, watch it. Let's watch how that fits. So, there's seven kings. So, you got our our seven there. Five are fallen and one is. So, at the time of John's writing, Rome is in power. One is, that's Rome. And the other is not yet come. And when he cometh, he must continue a short space. So the one that's coming, you know, they're saying it's gonna be that seventh one, the rebirth of the Roman Empire, And and that's the way they they handle it. Now another way to handle it is to look at it from a standpoint of the four. We gotta look at the four in different stages. So we differentiate head from horns. So, the head are these the seven heads are seven mountains or seven kingdoms on which the woman sits. And there are seven kings five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was and is not even he is the eighth and is of the seven and goeth into perdition. So the seven heads is in stages, stages of the development of that Roman government. So the fourth empire, the fourth world empire has stages. And the first stage is the Targum stage from July to May. The second head is the consul stage from 05/10 to April. The third stage is the plebeians or the dictators of Rome. Rome went through a time of of having dictators from April to March. The fourth was the republicans from March to May or March. And then the triumvirate from '59 to twenty seven BC. Then the sixth head is imperial Rome. That's the one that is, that John's talking about, that is. And and the one that is to come is the seventh head, which would be the rebirth Roman Empire with the Antichrist as its head. So, that's one way to look at the the heads. It's kinda tricky, isn't it? And so there are seven I know you guys didn't understand a word I said. I know that. So you gotta pray that you would have a brain with wisdom. That's what I did because I'm I'm sure about what I'm saying now. So I don't know. And there are seven kings. Now I could I could blow through this and I could make you think like, I'm the smartest guy in the planet. All I gotta do is just keep reading and pray that none of you ask me a question afterwards. Right? Do you know how many pastors just gloss over stuff? And you're like, hey, he didn't he didn't stop there and explain that. Well, that's because they don't know. They don't know. And so we try to dig in as hard as we can. Right? And and none of us we've never said that we know it all or we have it all figured out. We're disciples. We're all learning. Now we're not conjecturing. We're not speculating. We're not adding to the scripture or taking away because we don't want the curse of the book of Revelation on us. Right? So, we're using history. We're using context. We're using the Old Testament as best we can to interpret what's taking place here. So, some of the guys that I read said, this is one of the hardest passages in the Bible to to the guys have trouble with and so you can let them know that pastor Rick figured it out for you. Alright. No. Don't say that. And the beast that was and is not. So now we come back to his resurrection again. The beast is false resurrection. And so he's gonna continue a short space from verse 10, right? The AC. And the beast that was and is not, even he is the eighth. And so, and is of the seven. So he's of the seven heads. Now he's the eighth and he goes into perdition. So he's he's a head, but he's also a horn. His form of government's the eighth head, but of the 10 and we're gonna turn to Daniel seven twenty three right now. It's a little bit different than Jesus being your life coach and me teaching you how to be a winner. Right? We're actually trying to be obedient to the lord and to be students of his word and to study and to be his disciples. And he promises that us that he gives us the Holy Spirit and that the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth. Right? There we are. So Daniel chapter seven, go from 10 toes to 10 horns to 10 crowns, 10 kings, and that's the rebirth of the Roman Empire. You gotta get rid of this stuff. Okay. There we go. Over here. I don't need them anymore. There we go. Alright. Daniel 723. I'll get there by Easter. Alright. So in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance and under standing dark sentences shall stand up. So very occultic. And his power shall be mighty but not by his own power and he shall destroy wonderfully and shall prosper and continue and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. So this is speaking of the Antichrist against the nation of Israel. And through his policy also he shall cause deceit to prosper. Man, are we living in a time of deception? Yeah. Oh, I'm in chapter eight, aren't I? Okay. Never mind. 23. That was sounded pretty good to me. Alright. 23. Thus he said, the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom. So you have the beast as a kingdom and you have the beast as the beast. So here, part of the head is that kingdom. The head were were kingdoms. And these kingdoms were in sequential order. But when it comes to horns, they're not in sequential order. They're as one. They're working together as one as that form of that imperial government. And so you got the 10, and then he's the eleventh. He wipes out three of them, and he becomes the eighth, this horn, the little horn. And notice back in verse eight, and I considered verse seven, and this I saw in the night vision behold a fourth beast dreadful and terrible and strong and exceeding and it had great iron teeth and it devoured the and broken pieces and stamped the residue with its feet and it was diverse from the beast that were before it and it had 10 horns. So the Roman rebirth Roman empire is gonna be stomping everybody. It's got that that iron and in verse 24, he's he's got a king. This and I considered the horns and behold there came up among them another little horn. And so this little horn is the antichrist. Before which there were three of the first horns plucked up. So he's gonna wipe out three of them of the 10. Horns plucked up by the roots and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouse speaking great things. Man, oh man, oh man. I don't know who that reminds me of, but there's a guy alive today that is just the biggest boaster. He's getting his name and his image and just everywhere. I'm not saying he's the AC but he sure is a precursor of the type of person that the antichrist is gonna be and it's it's scary. It's scary not in the sense that I fear but it's scary in the sense that I'm waiting for a smackdown. You know, it's like, oh my gosh. When you see somebody overstepping their bounds, it's like, oh my gosh and and so, now we come over to verse 23 or or see here. What's that? Verse verse 15, and I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body and the vision of my head and troubled me and I came near unto one of them that stood by and asked him the truth and so he told me and made me know the interpretation of these things. These great beasts, which are four kings. So sometimes again, when you talk about the beast, you gotta differentiate it. Is it talking about the four kingdoms? Or is it talking about the beast, the antichrist, Yeah. Which he can do a dual meaning on with him. Four kings which are arise out of the earth. But the saints of the most high shall take the kingdom and possess it. So the saints of the most high are gonna defeat the antichrist at the end because Jesus is gonna defeat. He's going to be king of kings and lord of lords and we're going to inherit the kingdom, right? But the saints of the most high shall take the kingdom, possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever. Then I would know the truth of the four fourth beast which was diverse from all the others exceedingly dreadful. His teeth were of iron and its nails of bronze which devoured and broken pieces and stamped the residue of his feet. And so you've got this this Roman Empire, this fourth empire, this fourth beast that's just dreadful. And and of the 10 horns so now you got 10 kings. So that Roman Empire is a form of government of imperialism where the world's divided into 10 regions with a king over each region. And of the 10 horns that are in his head and of the other which came up before whom three fell, even of the horn that had eyes in the mouth and spoke very great things, who look was more stout than his fellows and so this is the Daniel seven eight, the little horn and I beheld in the same horn made war with the saints and prevailed not against them. So, he's making war with the nation of Israel in chapter 12 of Revelation until the ancient of days, until Jesus intervenes, till the nation of Israel says, blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord when they're in Basra. And so the ancient of days came and judgment was given unto the saints of the most high. And the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom, so there's the millennium. Thus he said the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon the earth. Rebirth Roman Empire. Which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms and shall devour the whole earth and shall tread down and break it in pieces. So, what we're looking at next is the rebirth of the Roman Empire. That will be the next kingdom. And it's gonna have 10 horns, 10 toes, the whole thing. Then there's a kingdom after them which is where the Antichrist kills three and he becomes the eighth, right? And the 10 horns out of the out of this kingdom are 10 kings that shall arise and another shall arise after them, and he shall be diverse from the first and he shall subdue the three. So you got the 10. So the global government's gonna come together, the technocrats. Right? And they're gonna rule. But the antichrist can sign this peace treaty with the nation of Israel, and he's gonna get in on it. But the 10 are ruling, and then he wipes out three of them, and he and they give their sovereignty over to him. So it's this newest form of government for the remaining three half three and a half years from the mark of the beast and the whole thing. 10 kings shall arise, another shall rise of them and he shall be diverse in the first and he shall subdue three kings and he shall speak great words against the most high, blasphemies, and he shall wear out the saints of the most high, nation of Israel, two thirds of them are gonna get wiped out, one third's gonna run to Basra and be preserved and purified and and saved. And this isn't the church. Remember, four types of saints. Don't misinterpret. You're too good for that, right? You're you're not a replacement theology and you don't see the saints in the tribulation period as the church. So, you've got the saints as the Old Testament saints. You got the saints as the church saints. You've got the tribulation saints and you have saints in the millennium. Four periods of time or dispensations and what's the context here is the saints as in the nation of Israel and also you could say during the tribulation period, the tribulation saints also wiped out. So, the 10 horns out of the kingdom and ten ten kings shall arise and another shall arise with them and he shall be diverse from the first. He shall subdue the 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 the times and the laws and they shall be given into his hand until a time, a time, and a half time. So, given into his hand for three and a half years. The time and time and a half time. Revelation thirteen five through eight. So, forty two months, a hundred and seventy, forty two months, twelve hundred and sixty days. But the judgment shall sit and they that shall take away his dominion to consume and to destroy it upon the end. And the kingdom and the dominion of the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the most high, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominion shall serve and obey him. So, the saints will be the Old Testament saints, the church saints, the tribulation saints, and the millennial saints are the ones that are going to receive the kingdom. So, now, back to chapter 17. So, you guys getting this? How many more are you sleeping? Are you bored? I guess the lord mixes in there a couple times about the antichrist resurrection just to wake you up like, hey, this is serious. And So, in the beast that was and is not, he is the eighth. So, we saw that Daniel and of the seven and goeth into perdition. And so he's of the seven And the 10 horns which you saw are 10 kings. There you go. He's he's letting you know. So you got 10 toes, 10 horns in Daniel seven. Revelation thirteen and seventeen, you got crowns and kings. The horns are kings. Then you got 10 in the board of peace. There's 10 of them. You've got the world divided into 10 regions. The Technate, 1938. You've got the club of Rome dividing the world with their map into 10 regions, Awaiting a king over each one. It could be that these these kings are going to be billionaire technocrats using their technology. So it wouldn't be Trump said, you don't need to vote. You won't need to vote. You'll never need to vote, Christians. These guys are gonna be dictators, right? Working together in imperial form of government. And so, over the whole world. And the 10 horns which you saw are 10 kings who have received no kingdom as yet. So, has the board of peace received the kingdom as yet? No. No? And but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. So, the antichrist can embrace the board of peace, those 10, right? And he's going to give them their power. He's going to say, I'm it and you guys, I'm going to give you regions. I'm going to give you these 10 regions to use your Stargate project and have your satellites and monitor everything in your region. Right? And we're gonna have data centers everywhere. We're gonna collate and like the NSA presently is doing. Everything they say, everything they do, the biometric, the the facial recognition, the drones flying over, everything to gather information on them, you know. And to track and trace. And we're gonna put a chip in their head. They're not gonna be able to hide. And so he's gonna give them their power and strength. Or or he says, the kingdom has yet but received power as kings for one hour with the beast. These have one mind and shall give their power and strength under the beast. So after three are killed, they surrender their sovereignty over their regions under the beast and that's the that's the worship of the Antichrist. That's where he's not only the dictator king, the little horn, but he also declares himself to be god and the whole world is gonna worship the dragon, the antichrist, and the false prophets gonna be their mouthpiece. And he's gonna go into the temple. He's gonna declare himself to be god, demand to be worshiped as god. He's gonna be the world dictator, and and he's going to help the nation of Israel rebuild their temple and he's going to deceive him for three and a half years as they're going to restart the Old Testament, the Mosaic Law and they're going to have sacrifices and and all. They got the ashes of red heifer to do the cleansing and everything and you and I are the temple of the holy spirit. What do they need a temple there for? And yet, in the millennium, there's a temple built, the millennial temple and there's sacrifices as memorials and Ezekiel 40 through 48 and that's not allegorical. That's literal. It's literally going to happen. It's projected. He's going to rule and reign in Revelation 20 for a thousand years which is the Latin for millennium, right? And then we have the second coming here. Okay. He says when he that he only received authority for one hour. Is that like a literally you think one hour or is that? It means like a short period of time. There there it's going be short lived. And the first the first three and a half years possibly with the church riding the the the beast, the governmental system. So, they're only gonna have authority for a short at the beginning, a short period of time. From the midpoint forward, it's definitely the antichrist. It's definitely the worship of the beast. So, they only get power for a short period And so so the seven twenty three mentions the dominating rebirth global empire and they're crushing everybody. And then verse 24 is the emergence of the antichrist. He crushes three of them. He becomes the eighth, and the remaining three and a half years, he's in charge. So the first three and a half, a short period of time that that they're in charge. Alright. And so here we have the second coming. So, these shall make war with the lambs. So, look at that. These guys are so crazy and if you read Psalm two, you can see they try this. They are so crazy, these globalists. Right now, they're talking about doing speeches on the Antichrist. We can stop them from coming. So their attention is against the Antichrist. And then they're gonna usher in Armageddon so that so that Jesus will come back. Right? And the Islamic way of thinking is they have to destroy everything so the money will come. Right? So religious fervor to tank everything. So like James is saying, you know, for a short time, looks like it's working. And when they realize the devil knows prophetically what's going on, right? When they when they see the nation of Israel flee, the devil's thinking if I can wipe out the nation of Israel, then I can wipe out the millennial kingdom and all the promises given in Jeremiah 31 to the nation of Israel. I can stop Jesus from receiving his kingdom, right? So, they make war with the lamb. Notice he's calling the lamb, not a lion with the lamb, right? And that points back to the cross, right? So, these shall make war and some have called this this interpretation of lamb. In the Greek, it means Lambo. This is Lambo and they make they make war with Lambo. So, these shall make war with the lamb and the lamb shall overcome them for he is lord of lords and king of kings. And they that are with him, who's with him, church? So read Jude fourteen and fifteen. Jude fourteen and fifteen to make sure we're interpreting this right. Who's coming with them? Us. Yeah. Thousands and thousands. They're called chosen and faithful. So Jude is quoting Enoch. And you guys read the book of Enoch? He's quoting Enoch, right? Jude fourteen and fifteen Enoch walked with god and was not. Rapture time and that's a good question here. If we're coming back with him and people make mistake, are you talking about the second coming or you're talking about the rapture? Here, we're talking about the second coming. This is at the end of the tribulation period. So, the church is coming with him. Somebody read that. 10 thousands and thousands of his saints, right? Yeah. Okay. So, we're raptured before the tribulation period because we're not subject under his wrath, right? We're not appointed to wrath and so we're in heaven at the Bema Seat and we're getting lavish with gifts. The lord's rewarding us. Chapter 19, we're coming back with him. Chapter 19, his his bride has made herself ready and she said, clean white garments. Right? So we're coming back with him. So why would there be a rapture at the end that I go up with him and then come back with him? You know, post trip. So I gotta make it through the tribulation period. I made it through and I'm the church and I may be raptured up here in the clouds he's coming because he's coming with the clouds. Every aisle see him and then I'm coming with him. Right? No. No. No. I'm coming with him from heaven. Where is he? He's he's in heaven And that's where we are. At the father's house. We're at the father's house. We're the bride and we've been watching. We're ready. We're our our lamps are filled with oil. We're ready. We're looking for the groom. He's coming. And he's gone to prepare a place for us. And if he's gone to prepare a place for us, he will come again and receive us unto himself that where he is, there we may be also, right? Amen. And so. Yeah. You know, Yeah. So, that blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great god and savior, know, you that he's coming and we're we're we're watching. We're up on tiptoes like Bernie and I like to talk about where he's coming quickly when it all starts to happen and the woman in her birth pangs, it starts out slow but then it intensifies and it gets more and more frequent. Right? Quicker. And that's when he says, behold, I come quickly. When it starts because it's been two thousand years. That isn't what that word quickly means. Means when this starts, it goes quick. Seven years goes quick, but not for the earth dwellers, not for the earth dwellers, it doesn't go quick. But I mean, that's a short period of time for the antichrist and the devil to have their little experiment. Alright. Who had Jude fourteen and fifteen? Who who's this speaking of? The king of kings and lord of lords, right? So, did he come in seventy AD to do this? Did this all this happen in seventy AD? Do you know how many people say this already happened in seventy AD? What's he coming to do? To judge. Did he come in seventy AD to judge? No. He's going to come in a second coming to judge the whole earth, right? So, picture this, the chapter 12, the woman flees and she flees in Isaiah sixty three one through three. She flees to Basra, right? And these the nation of Israel's fleeing and from the Antichrist and the lord has prepared the area of ancient Moab, of Edom, of Mount Cyr, Timnan, there's other names for it but Basra in Isaiah 63 and these are the his sheep from Basra in in in Micah two and he he prepares food for them and preserves them and this is off limits to any of the wrath being poured out. It's off limits for the antichrist to go and to get them and so Jesus told the nation, you're not gonna see me again because you rejected me, my first coming. Tell you say, blessed is he that comes in the name of the lord. They go through their revelation. They go through the realization that they already crucified him. They already wounded him and the one that bears the scars. They recognize it's their national mourning over their sin. And then they confess, blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. That's what Jesus said. When they say that, when they confess nationally their sin, then he's going to intervene before the antichrist armies can get to them. But the antichrist armies aren't just there to get them. The antichrist armies are there to stop him from coming and receiving the kingdom. You see that? And and watch second Thessalonians. How does he come? How does he destroy those armies and all them? The righteous of his coming. And the sword of his mouth. And Revelation 14, how high is the the blood? Four and a half feet. It looks like a slaughter. And in chapter 19, the birds, the carnivorous birds are feasting on the carcasses of all the kings. The slaughter, the huge slaughter at Armageddon, right? And so it's a slaughter. I mean, the audacity of the wicked. They these guys actually think with all their technology, all their nukes, all their drones, all their everything. I mean, so many different ways. And I mean, the Lord is gonna stop them. And what is it in Zechariah? It describes their eyes melting out of their faces and their skin melting off of them. So we talk about nuclear bombs. We talk about hydrogen bombs, atomic bombs, and we talk about neutron bombs. Is it the neutron one that melts everything but leaves the buildings intact? Gonna melt them. So I saw Raiders of Lost Ark, and I saw those guys messing, those Nazis messing with the Ark of the Covenant. Right? And I saw when they opened it, man, these angels flew out everywhere, and the guys, and he's he's melted. Somebody somebody in Hollywood read how it's going to happen and it's a visual, man. It's it's like scary. You know? If I can see that guy's face right now. Give me nightmares. So, they shall make war with the lamb. This is the epitome of insanity. If you're fighting against god right now, if you're fighting against him, man, what do you, what do you think you're going to achieve? Do you really think you can fight god and win? So these shall make war with the lamb and the lamb shall overcome them for he is lord of lords and king of kings. He's not the opposite of the devil. He's not an angel. He's king of kings and lord of lords. He's almighty god, right? And and and the insanity of the of the of the angel that we call Lucifer, the devil. Just just insane. He shall overcome them and he is lord of of lords and king of kings and they that are with him are called and chosen. So, he called me. God initiated this whole thing. He foreknew me. He breast predestined me in Romans eight. He called me. He called my name. He chose me. I didn't choose him. He chose me. And you know what I like here? You're faithful. He says we're faithful. Amen. Ain't that great? Peter talks about our precious faith. How precious our faith is. All I wanna do from here forward is just not quit. That's it. So many people are quitting. So many people have quit the race. And we're living a time of apostasy, falling away. I don't wanna quit. I wanna keep telling the truth. I wanna keep fighting the good fight. And I've learned if people bug me, I'm just gonna block them, get rid of them. Not gonna cast my pearls before swine. It's just I got too much too much to to do, you know, moving forward. I'm gonna keep moving forward. And I I I will give people videos and I'll give them the information for them to look at, but if they've already made up their mind, they better wake up because I'm moving forward. I won't leave any sheep behind that's willing to listen. I'll try. But at a certain point, we're moving forward. So it's it's really is a time to wake up. Lot of people don't wanna wake up. They like their slumber. They like their sleep. And so they overcome them and the lord of lords and king of kings, they are with him. They're called and chosen faithful and he say it unto me, the waters which thou saw. So, he's going to interpret this for us way back in verse two, right? He's going to interpret this the whore that sitteth upon the waters in verse one. The waters which you saw where the harlot sits are people, multitudes, nations, and tongues. So, the world population, this is a worldwide rebellion against god and the harlot that religious system has permeated every so you think right now that the Islamic guys aren't gonna buy this? Oh, yes. They are. They're gonna present a global religion that appeals to every ism every ism, and they're gonna bring it together. So don't think it's the Catholic church. They're not gonna buy the Catholic church. Catholic church would be one of them involved, you know, with a lot of their dogma that goes back to Babylon and their wealth and all but I don't think the pope is the antichrist, you know? I just want his popemobile. That's all I want out of him. And and the 10 horns which you saw upon the beast, these shall hate the harlot. So, here's where three and a half years, you're going to you're going to use that harlot. You're angry at the heart of the harlots on you, using you, they use each other. Do you see how the church today, the pastors use each other? They use the politicians to gain popularity. Hey, yeah. I went to Mira Lago. Hey, yeah. I went to the White House and all and it makes their pep, you know, popularity grow but they better not ever say anything truthful about the politicians after that. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's a double edged sword. You allow yourself to to gain popularity. Hey. My pastor was with president Trump, man. He's one of the advisers. You know, he rubs elbows with Paula White. Well, that would embarrass me. You know? God, lord. Why would you want to? You know? And, you know, how could you pray before congress without rebuking them? How could you do that? How could you even go in that den of iniquity and not know about Epstein Island, the pedophilia, and the crimes against humanity of these posers. I couldn't stomach it. It's like it's like, ugh. And so you use each other. You use each other because you want the power and the popularity. And if you know, it's really strange, but I've never been invited to they have a they have a group called the clergy response team that when all hell breaks loose, the government wants the clergy, the church leaders to calm the people, to show them where the FEMA camps are and get them in there and put up the tents and give them the jabs and give them the shots. And they want the clergy response team to help facilitate that. I've never been invited to any of their meetings. I don't know why, but I've never been invited to the White House. I've never been invited to Mar A Lago. I don't know why. It's it's weird. But there's a point where they're gonna backstab each other. There's a point when the globalists are done with the useless idiots. You know what they do to the useless idiots? They kill them. They once they gain what they want, they've just used them, then they kill you. Because they say if you betrayed your own people, your own nation, we're not gonna have you a part of ours. You know? So they call them the useful idiots, and they use them to a guy from the gym was going over to Seattle to the no king thing, you know? And he said there's gonna be 10,000 people or whatever and he was really pumped about it. And I said, be very careful of the provocateurs. And he's like, well, what's that? And I said, well, it's it's you're going to be infiltrated with people like from the CIA and government agencies and and George Soros hiring people on on $15 an hour to throw those bricks through the windows, you know, that the pallet's delivered and everything, and they're gonna stir things up. They're gonna get the mob stirred up. So be very careful if first of all, I wouldn't even be in a place like that. But if you do go and you really believe in that cause, be careful how they throw gas on the fire. And then you get swoop swooped up in it, you know. And and once they're done with you, then they kill you. So it's it's a means of re regime change. I'm told that the CIA can can use social media to radicalize people in Iran, to radicalize people in Venezuela, to radicalize people in Cuba and get them angry at their government and start to, you know, stir it up, stir it up, stir it up, and they've got a political leader that they don't want in there anymore. They wanna change them out. They can stimulate that. They can get that going. And and then pretty soon the leader Assad in Syria. What Assad in Syria do? He got on a plane and flew to Russia to save his life. The Assad family. Right? And so regime change. And so be careful of being used. So the 10 horns which you saw upon the beast, these shall hate the harlot and shall make her desolate. So now they're gonna take all their money. You can see the envy and the jealousy of people when the economy crashes and the church has got all this money, and we're gonna go after that money. We're gonna we're gonna we're gonna take it. We're gonna take those jewels and all that they made, you know, from commerce and the business of religion. There's the Bank of London in London and the Bank of London is a sovereign city. Did you know that? It's a Rothschild Square block and it's the city of London it's called and it's a Rothschild Bank. Now, in Rome, there's the Vatican, a sovereign Vatican City with a bank. Enormous amount of money that the Catholics have accumulated all over the world and artwork and all other sorts of very valuable things. And who do you think wants all that stuff, you know? When Adolf Hitler was conquering these places, you know, they were taking all sorts of artifacts. Everything that they could get their hands on these these countries that they invaded. That's called the spoils of war. And so the harlot shall make her desolate and naked and shall cast her flesh and burn her with fire. So, payback. Pay back right here and for god has put in their hearts. Now, this is a verse we use today quite a bit. So, check this verse out when people tell you that the nation of Israel is created by the Rothschilds. The nation of Israel doesn't have right to the land. You'll hear that today And they'll try to build a case that the church has replaced Israel. And that Darby and McDonald and Rothschilds, all these groups, you know, came up with the rapture and premillennial dispensationalism and Schofield wrote this Bible and wrote the Bible because of the Zionist and you know, to give Israel favor and then, you know, they're going to politicians are going to say, well, I learned in Sunday school according to Genesis, you know, 12 verse three that I'll bless those that bless Israel and curse those that curse Israel and all and and pretty soon you got this debate going of what's called replacement theology and so what I do in that case is just like we're seeing today, the beast system developed. God's putting it in the heart of President Trump. He's put it in the heart of Palantir, of Meta, of Elon Musk, of all these globalists. God's putting in their heart to build the beast system. Right? And to do according to whose will? His will. His will. To fulfill his will. And to agree and give their kingdom under the beast. So they're going to build this thing, all of this, and then they're going to give it under the beast and the lord is setting the stage. He's setting the stage for his second coming until the words of god shall be fulfilled and all of his words gonna be fulfilled. So I don't care if the Rothschilds were the ones that use their money and political influence with Great Britain to with the Belleforce Declaration and give Israel after the holocaust, after, you know, 6,000,000 slaughtered to give a place of a a refuge for the nation of Israel. I look at this first oh, God's been doing this throughout history. God put it in Cyrus's heart to let the children of Israel go back and rebuild the temple. Right? God takes kings and he moves their heart, the proverb said, like a river. He moves them to the left or to the right, whether so ever he will. Right? And and so this is no mystery. I I don't care if the Rothschilds are involved. Who cares? The nation of Israel according to Ezekiel thirty six and thirty seven, God prophesied that he would rebirth them, that they'd be reborn. Right? And and that's when it happened and they needed to be in the land because there's a temple going to be built and there's an antichrist that are going to go into that temple that Jesus said in Matthew 24 and Daniel spoke about, right? It's got to the stage has to be set and the technology needs to be ready for everyone to see the mark on the right hand of their forehead, right? The technology is here. It's here. Never until this time has that technology been able to do that. There hasn't been technology to do that. Now there is. And they're working feverishly. And like Elon Musk, he'll say stuff like, well, you know, AI, it's it just jumped ahead again. This I forget what he calls it. Grack, grok, whatever his new one is. You know, it's four times smarter than the previous one, and it's growing exponentially. And it's gonna be five times smarter than human beings, their ability to learn and accumulate information, you know, and all. And so they keep finding and developing better chips. And so these new chips may not operate with copper chips. These new chips will be with light, And we can move things quicker with light. And they still have the need for electricity, they still have the need for cooling of these data centers. But but the technology is growing exponentially. And and what's that word, Vicky, they're working toward? Synergism? Singularity. Singularity. Singularity. And what's singularity mean? We can use big. Gone too far. Places up. Let me turn. Okay. Alright. Well. Like a black hole. Singularity. So control. For God has put in their hearts to fulfill his will and to agree and give their kingdom under the beast until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman whom thou sawest is that great city. So now when people are saying Babylon is, you know, mystery Babylon is the Roman Catholic Church. Mystery Babylon is New York City. Mystery Babylon. Mystery Babylon is a mystery once had now revealed in that the religious system that originated the mother of all harlots that originated in Babylon will have a capital city called Babylon. So, Babylon, the capital city is gonna be rebuilt and gonna be the capital center for the religious system, the economic system, and the political system of the Antichrist. That's what's happening. Which reigns over the kings of the earth. So this great city with the Antichrist rulings going to rule over the kings of the earth. And so very fascinating headquarters capital. So, if we took a field trip to Babylon and we were near the Euphrates and Tigris and the one of the wonders, seven wonders of antiquity, the Hanging Gardens Of Nebuchadnezzar and is this not great Babylon which I built and then it's Isaiah or Jeremiah fifty and fifty one. There's a destruction that God allows for Babylon. It's like nobody's gonna ever rebuild it and all, but the Bible says it's it's gonna be rebuilt in in the last days, and so we're watching the A Alpha Port be built. We're watching the enormity of all these ships and and jetties and all the way that they build a harbor and get all that harbor area and the cranes, the big cranes like in Seattle, you can see em to take all those ships and and everything and then the canals in regard to the Euphrates and the rail lines and all of it coming together and who would have ever thought of it? Why? Why? Why would you why would you destroy the present order, the present dollar system? Why would you destroy? It's a pretty good system, this capitalism. Why would you destroy? New York City's great place, you know, as far as economic and the stock market and, you know, the whole world. You know? Why would you shift it from the West and move it to the East? You know, why would you do that? I don't know why, except that the lord's coming back. The times of the Gentiles is ending is that answer. The times of the Gentiles of global world rule is ending and so god's going to end it where it started. Babylon, Right? It's going to end it. Alright. Bombs over Babylon. Right. Let's pray. Father, we thank you and lord, we pray that we continue to be students and we just scratch the surface. So much more to learn and we we just thank you that you're our teacher and I pray that we get more and more excited about prophecy and that you help us connect the dots and you're putting it in their hearts to do according to your will. Lord, put in our hearts too. Put in us both to will and to do of your good pleasure and give us an aptitude lord. Help us as we're students of your word to be able to grasp these truths and to seek out as we mine your word, as we dig in, as we compare scripture with scripture. Help us, Lord, to be led and guide by you into all truth. We don't wanna we don't want any falsehood and the things that I thought I knew twenty years ago, Lord, from teachers that taught me back then. Lord, times have changed. There's more information. Knowledge is increasing. And, we don't fault those back then, but but, Lord, we can we can see a little clearer based upon some of the things that you're doing. The pieces are fitting together a little bit better, Lord. They used to say that the European common market was the 10 toes, Lord. And now it's it's understood that there's 10 regions covering the whole world, not just in Europe. And so whatever's gonna happen in Rome with the rebirth of the Roman Empire, If it starts out in Rome to a certain degree, Lord, help us to understand the world divided into 10 regions and 10 kings and all of it and be flexible as you lead and guide us into all truth, Lord. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
