Tribulation & Ten Toes Of Daniel Part 9

Transcription

1 Tribulation & Ten Toes Of Daniel Part 9 Pastor Grant Williams November 2, 2016 John 1:1 KJV 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 KJV 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Why did God send Jesus to earth? Why did He have to go into a body? Because He Loves Us John 3:16-17 KJV 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 1 of 30

2 Saved from what? Hell there are only 2 places that we will spend eternity, heaven or hell. 2 Peter 3:9 AMP 9 The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people s conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance. It s not His desire that anyone goes to hell - so, it is up to each person to make a decision, will they go to heaven or hell. God is giving people time, but it s not limitless. Time or the Time Of The End is running out. Since the beginning of time, starting in Genesis, God s Word has been preparing us for the End Of Time. Jesus spent much of His earthly ministry, especially at the end of His 33 years, sharing with His Disciples what it would look like at the Time Of The End. Remember, you and I are His disciples as well, so this message is for us. Jesus shared in the gospels (and here in John 14) what it would look like at the End of Time and also the importance of the promised Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is needed to remind us of the things that we have heard and have read. It is there for unlimited power to do the things that the Bible says we can do and not what man has often made it up into being - a false manifestation or a false reason. 2 of 30

3 John 14:25-29 AMP 25 I have told you (his disciples - that s you and I) these things (promises in God Word) while I am still with you. 26 But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things (Gods Word - what will happen at the end of time). And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you. 27 Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.] 28 You heard Me tell you, I am going away and I am coming [back] to you. If you [really] loved Me, you would have been glad, because I am going to the Father; for the Father is greater and mightier than I am. 29 And now I have told you [this] before it occurs, so that when it does take place you may believe and have faith in and rely on Me. Jesus is telling us, the disciples, that He had to go, be that He is coming back. He s telling us what its going to look like before it happens so we would not be afraid or be caught unaware. Why would He do this? Because He loves us so much! 3 of 30

4 He then continues on in Luke Chapter 21 and Matthew Chapters 23 and 24 on what it will look like at the Time of the End as well Luke 21:6-17 AMP 6 the time will come when there shall not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down. 7 And they asked Him, Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when this is about to occur? 8 And He said, Be on your guard and be careful that you are not led astray; As you keep reading this chapter Jesus says don t be afraid/fear not. Why? Because there will be wars and rumors of wars. You re going to be hated by friends/coworkers and family. Churches will kick Bible believing Christians out (not the itching ear Christians) and governments would come against the true believer for speaking and acting in obedience to God s Word. In Matthew Chapter 24, it parallels Luke Chapter 21 (synoptic gospels) when the disciples asked Jesus about the signs of His return. Jesus didn t tell them it s none of your business. He didn t say, don t worry about it He didn t say, just focus on love or grace He didn t say, it s no big deal and don t listen to people when they speak of My return He didn t say that it was not for them to know.he said the opposite. He gave them a very detailed answer; He gave them and us, and all of His disciples a command. (John 14:15) If you love me keep My commands 4 of 30

5 Luke 21:36 AMP 36 Keep awake then and watch at all times [be discreet, attentive, and ready], praying that you may have the full strength and ability and be accounted worthy to escape all these things [taken together] that will take place, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man. Matthew 24:33 AMP 33 So also when you see these signs, all taken together, coming to pass, you may know of a surety that He is near, at the very doors. Matthew 24:33 KJV 33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Over the last few weeks we have studied God s Word and looked at some of the things or signs of Jesus return. We will continue with those signs later on in our study as well. We have also proved that there will be 10 kings/kingdoms that join the antichrist during the tribulation to attack Israel. The bible tells us that these 10 nations will come from around the Mediterranean Sea, (blaspheme against God), and from the old Roman Empire. These 10 nations will be led by the antichrist (7th empire) who has been ruling for the first 42 months of the Tribulation over mystery babylon (Revelation Chapter 17) which is the area of Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. 5 of 30

6 The antichrist will destroy mystery babylon and Rome, Italy where the false prophet is and he will be joined by this false prophet in Jerusalem. We have established all of this based on God s Word, confirmed in the Old and New Testament passages. Prior to the antichrist coming to power and the Tribulation, the war of Gog and Magog will take place right around the time of the Rapture. These 10 nations during this war spoken of by the prophet Ezekiel will all be defeated and Israel will not lift a finger in its defense. The 7 year peace treaty will then be signed, starting the Tribulation period. During the first 42 months of the 7 year peace treaty, 2 witnesses (Enoch and Elijah) will be a mouth piece for God and no one will be able to stop them. This first half of the Tribulation will also see the Jewish people starting the sacrifices once again at the Temple. The last 42 months of the Tribulation is also called the Great Tribulation or Jacob s Trouble. This time period will contain God s Judgment on the earth and all the people who are left with the bowls, seals and trumpets. Wars and the world wide war called Armageddon will take place during this period of time. For the last 2 weeks we have looked at God s Word to see the reasons why that would cause 10 nations to give their authority over to the antichrist? Or, start a coalition with the antichrist. Why would they sign over their powers to him during the last 42 months of the Tribulation? 6 of 30

7 Revelation 17:12-13 AMP 12 Also the ten horns that you observed are ten rulers (kings) who have as yet received no royal dominion, but together they are to receive power and authority as rulers for a single hour, along with the beast. 13 These have one common policy (opinion, purpose), and they deliver their power and authority to the beast. Revelation 17:12-13 KJV 12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. The Bible says that these 10 kings will destroy mystery babylon and in an hour they will give their kingdoms over to the beast. Then the antichrist goes to, which I believe is Rome, and destroys it. This could be with a nuclear device which would make the 10 kings sign over their kingdoms in one hour. Below are just some of the reasons why the 10 nations would give their kingdom to the antichrist that we went over: 1. They will give their kingdom over to the antichrist because of fear and for survival. 2. Because of the wars in the Tribulation and the antichrist being a fighter and a warrior that these 10 kings submit to him so they themselves and people are not destroyed. 7 of 30

8 3. Water shortages during the Tribulation. Revelation 16:12 KJV 12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. Revelation 16:12 AMP 12 Then the sixth [angel] emptied his bowl on the mighty river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to make ready a road for [the coming of] the kings of the east (from the rising sun). 8 of 30

9 4. Food shortages during the Tribulation. Revelation 6:5-6 AMP 5 When He broke open the third seal, I heard the third living creature call out, Come and look! And I saw, and behold, a black horse, and in his hand the rider had a pair of scales (a balance). 6 And I heard what seemed to be a voice from the midst of the four living creatures, saying, A quart of wheat for a denarius [a whole day s wages], and three quarts of barley for a denarius; but do not harm the oil and the wine! Revelation 6:6-8 CEV 6 I heard what sounded like a voice from somewhere among the four living creatures. It said, A quart of wheat will cost you a whole day s wages! Three quarts of barley will cost you a day s wages too. But don t ruin the olive oil or the wine. 7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, Come out! 8 Then I saw a pale green horse. Its rider was named Death, and Death s Kingdom followed behind. They were given power over one fourth of the earth, and they could kill its people with swords, famines, diseases, and wild animals. There will be earthquakes and volcanic eruptions all through the world during the last 42 months (Revelation 11 and 16, Joel 2 and Acts 2) and to start the war of Gog and Magog as well (Ezekiel 39). 9 of 30

10 Ezekiel 39:9-10 KJV 9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years: 10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord God. Ezekiel 39:9-10 AMP 9 And [when you, Gog, are no longer] they who dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth and shall set on fire and burn the battle gear, the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, the handspikes or riding whips and the spears; and they shall burn them as fuel for seven years, 10 So that My people shall take no firewood out of the field or cut down any out of the forests, for they shall make their fires of the weapons. And they shall despoil those who despoiled them and plunder those who plundered them, says the Lord God. When you look at the natural disasters and devastation that will come from it you can see how the nations of the world will have to form coalitions in order to survive. So how will the antichrist and false prophet control the buying and selling? How will the One World Economy work? Does the Bible give us clues to this chip/mark in the forehead and right hand? How is the One World Religion going to come about? 10 of 30

11 The One Word Religion is already forming right now. The false prophet will use this as a platform for the mark of the beast or 666. This beast system or empire contains two beasts, the false prophet and the antichrist. The Bible speaks of the first beast, which is the antichrist, in Revelations 13:1, and the second beast in Revelations 13:11, which is the false prophet. The false prophet is going to initiate something that is mentioned between Revelation 13, verses Revelation 13:16-18 KJV 16 And he (false prophet) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number (symbol) of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. So, the question is (one of many) why would the false prophet and the antichrist team together to initiate a mark to control all buying and selling? We looked at some of those reasons over the last 2 weeks: fear of survival, war, draught, famine, natural disasters etc. The fear is real. If you do not take the mark or chip during the Tribulation your head will be cut off, you will die for not buying in to the new world order, system or beast/empire. 11 of 30

12 Revelation 20:4 KJV 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. The reason people are beheaded in the Tribulation is they will not worship/acknowledge the new beast/system or empire. Basically, they will not follow his religion and the only religion in the world that will behead you is Islam. They do it all the time and they have done this since the time of Muhammad. So, what is the mark of the beast? There are four Greek words that can be used for mark and this particular Greek word is charagma meaning: scratch etching or stamp. This etching or stamp is on the right hand or forehead. Since 1967 there has been several theories at what could be the mark of the beast and we are going to go over them tonight. 1. The first theory was the bar code theory in 1973 (that s when the bar code first came on the scene). In the United States it is called the Universal Product Code or the UPC bar code. It was used for the grocery industry to speed up purchases and eliminate cashier errors. The UPC contains 7 units and 4 marks on it and the numbers contain different codes of various types. 12 of 30

13 In 1982 a woman wrote a book along with several other authors which she believed that the image of the beast was hidden in the bar code. Everyone was afraid of the bar code this wasn t it. 2. Second theory came about in the 1990 s called the ISO Nine Thousand Theory. It was a standard for quality where 14,000 products were linked with it including environmental management products. A special mark was placed on the product once the quality control was confirmed. It was used in Europe along with the EU countries and was expanded to any country trading with them meaning, you had to have the mark on the product or they wouldn t deal with you. So, many people began to wonder is this it? And that proved not to be the mark of the beast either Third theory was the world wide web. When this came into existence, the world wide web was and is abbreviated by 3 english letters consecutively - Now the w in the Hebrew language is a vov. A vov can be a v or a w in Hebrew. The numerical value in the Hebrew Gematria or gimatria (which is a system of assigning numerical value to a word or phrase) of the vov is 6. So w.w.w. actually reads 666 in Hebrew Gematria. Many people began to ask - is this the mark of the beast? No, but you could very well have the system in which the mark of the beast will operate through. But it s not the mark itself on the right hand or the forehead. 13 of 30

14 4. Fourth theory is the biometric hand scanners. For example, when you go to theme parks and other places like that, you have to insert your right hand into a scanner. This is not taking a picture of your fingerprint, but a number is being assigned to each print on your hand. Then you stick a card of the place you are staying into a slot where the information of the numbers of your hand gets transferred onto the card. The numbers are imbedded in that card, the machine takes 91 measurements and then converts it to a nine digit number. You can go back today and that information or card will still be active so you can go into all the parks. What is interesting is the right hand is part of the finger print process because it identifies everyone individually and the system is designed to put a number on the right hand. The system will not accept the left hand, the machine will not use the left hand at all. All machines and like machines now that are being created use the right hand only and not the left. 5. The fifth theory is the RFID chip or radio frequency identification. This chip runs off of a lithium battery. It is being inserted into animals/pets and as of the end of 2015 over 6.5 million people have had a chip inserted in them and guess where it has been placed? The right hand or the forehead. It is inserted between the thumb and the forefinger (fleshy and the most comfortable spot) or right below the hair line. 14 of 30

15 The first draft of Obamacare tried to make a RFID chip mandatory for anyone who wanted to be seen by a doctor (control). This is just the beginning, just like abortion, gay marriage laws, legalizing pot, LGBT rights etc, the attempts have to start in order to be passed. There are and have been several senators who have put up a fight against the chip and will continue to do so. The Washington Post 3 years ago ran a story about this regarding a chip in the right hand or forehead for healthcare might be a requirement. When Joe Biden was a Senator he had an exchange with current Supreme court Justice Roberts during his nomination hearings in 2005 asking him when the day comes when the RFID chips have to be inserted in the physical body of individuals, how will you rule? Because when, not if, when you become Supreme Court Judge you will have to make that decision. During this hearing Vice President Joe Biden (then Senator) is not asking can an RFID chip be produced to go into a body but, legally can it go into the body and how will you respond. 15 of 30

16 This is not something that President Obama started, this has been worked on for about 18 years. What the plan is (in a nutshell) if you go to the hospital and in about 8 seconds a chip will be placed in your right hand or forehead just below the hair line that operates off of a lithium battery. All of your medical information will be on it and it will be sold or presented to the American public by saying we will be saving hundreds of billions of dollars (eventually) in paperwork. Also, if you are in an emergency they will just be able to scan you and you can go right in and not worry about the big long lines now that there are about 40 million more people just added into the healthcare system. Don t believe this is real? In 2012 India started marking all their people/taking a chip (this has been reported by all major news organizations) everyone will have a number/chip. This current administration has told the unions in the United Sates of America that they would not have to worry about this (chip) and the cost until In Marietta, Georgia the hospital administration was briefed by the company providing the installation of the chip that it would cost $ 10 per month to have the chip. Now take $10 a month x 12 months x 300 million people and that is how the money is going to be made up on the healthcare - everyone is going to be happy. 16 of 30

17 6. China just came up with the RFID dust tag. It s so small that you can hardly see it. You can insert it inside the body or you can throw it out on a group of people who are protesting and follow who was there. One of the reasons it was developed is for rioting and protests. They can drop it from a helicopter or have the riot police shoot it out and they can track you wherever you go. Note: This technology of RFID is not recent, this goes back to the Carter Administration. 7. RFID ink, is an invisible chip-less ink that has already been tested on animals and deemed safe for humans. Somark Innovations has come up with this and it contains no metals and takes approximately seconds to stamp it on someone. Data is stored in the design and it can be read up to 4 feet away. We are getting to the technology of the beast - not this stuff from the 80 s and 90 s but an ability to number people. You and I are already a number - social security numbers, driver s license number, license plate number, cell phone number. Now, going back to the lithium chips they are designed (already implanted) to last 100 years. If they break and they do - they were tested in people and that s how they found out what would happen. When the shell breaks and the lithium spills out, the report said that a grievous sore will break out on the hand which will look cancerous. 17 of 30

18 What s the big deal about this??? Revelation 16 King James Version (KJV) 16 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. 2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. The Bible said this is going to happen to their hand - I can see people taking the chip and realizing what they have done weeks, months later - against God s Word in the Tribulation and trying to take the chip out but it s to late. (reaction to broken RFID chip in the hand - doctors in charge of trials wrote grievous sore upon hand). The Bible says when we come to that day that we will not be able to buy or sell without a mark, number or a name. The mark could be a chip, tattoo or invisible ink or something we haven t even seen yet. The number is your number - you are already assigned a number. The name is that of the beast system - or whose authority are you buying and selling under. This is the currency of the new empire or beast system. 18 of 30

19 Revelation 13:16-18 KJV 16 And he (false prophet) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number (symbol) of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. We just talked about according to scripture how this was going to come about - fear of war, plague, famine, food shortage and ultimately a religious and economic change or death. The Bible says when we come to that day that we will not be able to buy or sell without a mark, number or a name. Remember: 1. The mark could be a chip, tattoo or invisible ink or something we haven t even seen yet. 2. The number is your number - you are already assigned a number. 3. The name is that of the beast - or whose authority are you doing business with. The currency of the kingdom/empire. Now, lets get into the number 666. Early on many people saw different things and were trying to figure out the the number of the beast. 19 of 30

20 For example: If you take the Roman numerals that are used still to this day which are the D, C, L X, V, and I, each one of these numerals or letters has a numerical value. These numbers combined together ironically equal 666. Letter Numerical Value D 500 C 100 L 50 X 10 V 5 I In 31 B.C. is when many scholars believe that the Roman Empire began battle and it ended with a battle with the Arabs in 636 A.D. The battle with the Roman Empire lasted 666 years. I believe, based on God s Word, that the antichrist will be mmuslim and the false prophet will be a defective pontiff pope. Many other biblical scholars agree with this after much studying of the Greek, Hebrew and teaching of God s Word. 20 of 30

21 The false prophet will be able to combine 2 different ideologies together, governmentally it will be Islam and the religion will be an apostate christianity found in Revelation Chapter 13. How does an apostate Christianity and Islam fit into the number 666? In the Hebrew language there is something called gematria. It is rule 29 of the 32 rules of rabbinical hermeneutics. In gematria, both the Greek and Hebrew alphabets, the alphabet/ letters haven t a numerical value. People have tried to look up men s names (the antichrist is a man) using the Greek or Hebrew and totaling up their numbers to see if they get the total of 666. (below is a gematria table) Here are some results of using this: Napoleon is 666, Mohammed is 666, Adolf Hitler is 666. Henry Kissinger is 666, Bill Clinton is 666. Men who were w o r l d l e a d e r s, depending on if you u s e G r e e k o r Hebrew, many of their names totaled but, does that make them the antichrist? NO! 21 of 30

22 I want to give you something from an old Greek manuscript. This was compiled from the majority text from which the King James was taken from along with the received text. When you go back to the the first century till about 400 A.D., the book of Revelation did not have 666 or state the number six hundred and sixty six. It was originally 3 greek letters. This is taken from a cloth out of the third century Egyptian manuscript from 350 A.D. showing the 3 Greek characters. Chi, Xi and Stigma. It never said 666, what they did was take the letters and assign a number to them. (See next page) 22 of 30

23 First there is the chi which value is 600. Secondly, xi" shown in the middle has a value of 60. Then thirdly, at the end is stigma with the value of 6. Now this letter no longer exists in modern Greek but the mark of stigma or 6 you see here was put on the head of slaves and soldiers during the Roman Empire. Revelation 13:18 KJV 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number (symbol) of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. 23 of 30

24 The number/symbol of the beast is Chi / Xi / Stigma so the translator of the King James said lets add it up and it totaled 666. So how does this tie into the Christian/Muslim world? The number or symbol Chi / Xi / Stigma is not limited to just a number but as the Bible said in chapter 13, understand that it stands for a religion, government and you have to be a part of it to buy or sell. First symbol: There is something called the CHI-RHO. If you were Catholic you probably know about this. First it is the seal of Papal Rome. It is also the 2 letters for Christos or Christ - when you see those 2 letters it is the symbol. So, you don t have to spell Christ, you just use the letters or symbols (example xmas). Chi / Xi / Stigma are not just numbers, they are symbols. There is a man by the name of Walid Shoebat that you probably have seen on Fox News and other christian news programming. He was a Muslim, part of the Muslim Brotherhood and former terrorist who is now a born again follower of Jesus Christ. 24 of 30

25 He set out to disprove the Bible and went through the old manuscript in the Greek and when he saw this (the symbol from the previous page) he freaked out (his words). This is going to show you (along with many other things ) that the antichrist will be a Muslim. First, Saudi Arabia is the headquarters for Islam. As we now know the Chi is an X emblem. The emblem for the civil sign for Saudi Arabia where Medena and Mecca are located is 2 swords crossed over - when you look at it, it is identical to the letter Chi = X. Second symbol: Then, the symbol/letter Xi is very unique. When you go to the 350 A.D. manuscript and compare the symbol Xi to the symbol for allah in the aramaic this is what you get. Below, you are looking at the symbol for Allah or god in arabic to the left (below) and to the right (below) is Xi in the Greek from the original manuscript. 25 of 30

26 Third Symbol: stigma with the value of 6 was put on the head of slaves and soldiers during the Roman Empire. So, what Walid did and others who have studied Islam, languages along with the symbols, is they took the Chi / Xi / Stigma and then made it out to what it would say in Arabic... In the name of Allah. So, we could then say calculate the number/symbol of the beast for it shall be in the name of allah. Revelation 13:18 KJV 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding calculate/ count the number/symbol of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number/symbol is Six hundred threescore and six/ chi, zi, stigma. Revelation 13:18 AMP 18 Here is [room for] discernment [a call for the wisdom of interpretation]. Let anyone who has intelligence (penetration and insight enough) calculate/count the number/symbol of the beast, for it is a human number/symbol [the number of a certain man]; his number is 666/ chi xi stigma. Now, the idea of the hands and heads being marked with the image of the beast (name, number or image). Shiite Muslims in Iraq or anywhere else in the world have a celebration once a year call Ashura where they take knives and they cut their heads. Ashura mourns the death of Imam Hussein, a grandson of the Prophet Mohammed, who was killed by armies of the caliph Yazid near Karbala in 680 AD. 26 of 30

27 You may have seen this on the news...they march by the hundreds of thousands and even millions and they put an x on the forehead during this celebration. 27 of 30

28 When you study the beast the Bible says upon the beast are names of blasphemy. The Word says that it will have the body of a leopard, heads of lions, feet of a bear... Revelation 13:1-2 KJV 1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. The bear in Daniel (Old Testament) is Persia or Iran as we know it today. The body of the leopard is the Grecian Empire, and the lion is Babylonian Empire (not mystery Babylon). That takes up the area of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Greece, Egypt, Libya and Ethiopia. So, the Names of Blasphemy are on the beast or the heads of the beast. Revelation 13:1 KJV 1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 28 of 30

29 In the Islamic world they all wear head bands. Many of the boys wear headbands inscribed with the shahada, which is the Muslim profession of faith. There is no god but God (Allah) and Muhammad is the prophet of God. Those same young men will tell you that they believe in someone named Isa (Jesus) but when asked if he is the son of God? They will respond Allah has no son! The Bible tells us in 1 John 2 29 of 30

30 1 John 4:1-3 KJV 1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 1 John 4:1-3 AMP 1 Beloved, do not put faith in every spirit, but prove (test) the spirits to discover whether they proceed from God; for many false prophets have gone forth into the world. 2 By this you may know (perceive and recognize) the Spirit of God: every spirit which acknowledges and confesses [the fact] that Jesus Christ (the Messiah) [actually] has become man and has come in the flesh is of God [has God for its source]; 3 And every spirit which does not acknowledge and confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh [but would [a]annul, destroy, [b]sever, disunite Him] is not of God [does not proceed from Him]. This [[c]nonconfession] is the [spirit] of the antichrist, [of] which you heard that it was coming, and now it is already in the world. 1 John 2:22 KJV 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 30 of 30
