All right, this morning most of you already know that it's called is the Antichrist being revealed. Now just for those of you have never been here before never been in say multiple services. I don't always preach on end time events, but I have done over the last couple of years, you know, several and their CDs back there if you need them. If you want them, they're free. You can get some if you want to. But I want to say this. I've been I rededicated my life to the Lord. I was born again when I was 11 years old. But then I got away from God in my teenage years as some of you well know and came back to the Lord when I was 19. And the Lord baptized me in the Holy Spirit shortly after that and called me to the ministry and powerful vision of Jesus and God spoke to me and he called me to the ministry and no doubt about it and then that's when I led some of my friends to the Lord that are now preachers and led family members to the Lord and and God just just moved mildly, but ever since that time and that was in 1987. I have studied Bible prophecy at different points and I have studied it for years and years and years and I want to say this. I have never ever in 24 years of being a minister. I have never said or pointed toward a man and said this man is probably the Antichrist. Never have. So I'm not a sensationalist or an alarmist or anything of that nature and I before this I've spent many actually probably several months researching this individual that I'm going to point out to you this morning and I am I am personally convinced. But let me say this. I want to say this. I'm I'm I'm going to leave a 1% chance that maybe it might be his son or someone else in his family. You understand? It's that certain almost to me. The problem is over the years when you talk about this over the years people have pointed to different ones. Oh, he's the Antichrist. Some people said Gorbachev years ago and then some people came along and said Reagan and you've heard people out there nuts saying it's Obama and all this stuff. But the bottom line is the for someone to be the Antichrist, they have to fit the biblical um the biblical pattern. They have to fit the biblical description. If they don't fit in any point, then they can't be, okay? So people that have been doing that over the years, I believe was Satan's way of when the guy did come of getting us to say, "Ah, that's not him." People have been saying that for years. The devil's good at that, isn't he? I think this last guy that came up saying the rapture was going to happen on May 21st was just another way the devil's tried to make people who talk about end
time events look stupid, okay? But the bottom line is that end time prophecies are being fulfilled and more now than ever. So um the question today is of course is the is the Antichrist being revealed? And uh I believe so, but we're going to look at some scriptures first. Um I want you to turn in your Bibles first of all for turn to 1 John uh chapter 2 and verse 18. If you don't have a Bible, we got a few extras up there, but I want you to turn 1 John chapter 2 verse 18. Um this is something that, you know, there are people out there who who have different views of the book of Revelation. Some people say that uh have a historical view and that some of the that the events in Revelation and end time events have already happened in history. Uh some people actually say that the Antichrist, there's no such thing as the as the Antichrist, that there's been many Antichrist over the years, like different Popes and Hitler and so on. And but this verse tells us something very specifically. And he says here, he says, "Little children, it is the last time. As you have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now there are many Antichrist, whereby we know that it is the last time." In other translations, like the NIV, TIV, it says the Antichrist shall come. Okay? So, he's saying, yes, there are going to be many people who display the spirit of Antichrist. I mean, Hitler truly displayed the spirit of Antichrist, okay? Um, there's there's been many people. Nero and so on down the line. But he said that the Antichrist would come. Um, and that's just a verse I wanted you to see. Now, if you want to, you can turn to Matthew 24. Just turn to Matthew 24 real quick. Um, because there are some people, you know, the book of Daniel talks about the the coming Antichrist, okay? In chapter A matter of fact, it talks about him in chapter 7, in chapter 8, in chapter 9, in chapter 11, okay? In the book of Daniel. Now, there are some people who say that Antiochus Epiphanes fulfilled the prophecies of the Antichrist in, you know, about 160-something uh, BC, when he came into Jerusalem and desecrated the temple and and sacrificed a pig on the altar in the temple, which of course that was that was truly um, the abom- an abomination to the Jewish people to come into their temple and do that. But what we see in prophecy, and I'm going to say this many times, is we see dual fulfillment. We see, like in we see it in the book of Hosea, God said it to through Hosea the prophet, he said out of Egypt I have called my son. Well, that prophecy applied to two things. It applied first to God calling Israel out of Egypt out of the slavery back in Egyptian bondage. But then it also applied and it was used by New
Testament writers and the apostles when Jesus was a young boy and his parents had to take him into Egypt to hide him from Herod and then he calls them out of Egypt. So you see there's dual prophetic fulfillments of things. And that's why sometimes that Old Testament in time prophecy is kind of hard to understand. You have to pay a close attention to the details when it starts talking about things going on right then or things shortly thereafter and then all of a sudden it switches and starts talking about things way far out in advance or the latter days, okay? So what's interesting is people who say that the abomination of desolation, which is a refer a term referred to by Daniel is was Antiochus Epiphanes, we have a problem because because what? Nearly 200 years later in 33 AD, Jesus speaks Matthew 24. And what did he say? When they asked him, "What will be the signs of your coming and of the end of the age?" And one of the things he said was when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet stand in the holy place. So Jesus took that and said it's going to happen again in the future. Now in 70 AD, the Jewish temple was destroyed and there hasn't been one since. So there's going to be a rebuilt Jewish temple for there on on the Temple Mount for there to be even the possibility to be the abomination of desolation. And we know that the Jews are preparing to rebuild that temple and as soon as they get the okay they're going to do that. And and I'll talk more about that in a second. But I wanted you to see that. That's in Matthew 24 verse uh, 15 there. He said, "When you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet stand in the holy place." And uh, um, very important. Now, what's interesting, I'm just going to say this this morning, some of you will disagree with this, but I'm going to say it this morning. I don't believe that the rapture takes place before the last 7 years begins. I don't believe that at all. And I've got a CD back there. I don't have time to get in that, but if you read Matthew 24, he says, "When you see the abomination of desolation" and he gives a chronological order there. And he says, "When you see the abomination of desolation stand in the holy place." Well, that's in the middle of the chapter. Then he says, "Then this is going to happen. Then this is going to happen. Then this is going to happen." You do not see the rapture until verse 29 through 32. He says, "Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give off its light. Then you will see the sign of the son of man coming in the clouds of heaven, sending forth his angels with the sound of a trumpet, gathering his elect." Um, so I don't believe that we see the rapture first. Matter of fact, I believe that the the revealing of the antichrist happens before the rapture happens. And this is a key. Now, I'm going to tell you why. Here's another verse. I mean, right after that that he says he talks about false Christ and false prophets. But I want you to turn turn to 2 Thessalonians chapter 2.
And I'm not putting every verse up, so you'll need to turn to it if you want to if you want to see these things. But in in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, look at look at verse 1 two there. I just want to point out something. In those verses there, and I'll let you get there. I'm I'm and and pardon me this morning if I go fast because I haven't done one I haven't done a message like this that's this long. This is this is more of a college class this morning than it is a teaching uh, church service, okay? Cuz I want you to see it. I don't want you to just believe Pastor Dean. I you to believe the scriptures and I want you to just see the facts. I'm just going to present facts this morning. You will make your decision on your own. Amen. But in 2 Thessalonians, he he starts talking about let no one deceive you because they thought, you know, he said don't be soon shaken by letters from us as the day of the Lord has happened. But what does he say? He said that day will not come. And what did he say? Not just the coming, he said I'm talking to you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him. Everybody see that in your Bible? Everybody see that? He says about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him. That's the rapture of the church. He says that day will not come unless a falling away comes first. That word is an apostasy. That means many turn away from the faith, the true faith in Jesus. And then he says, "And the man of sin be revealed." So God clearly tells us that there would be a day that the man of sin, the son of perdition, that wicked, that's what 2 Thessalonians calls him. He's a man who will come. He said that man will be revealed. What's interesting, just a just a quick look at the word in the Greek dictionary for revealed, it's apokalupto. And here's what it means, to take off the cover, to disclose or reveal. So So God told us there would be a day that the man of sin would be revealed. Now, ultimately, we're going to know for sure that the man of sin is revealed because at the midpoint of the tribulation, Revelation 13 tells us that he will step into that holy place. Well, this actually 2 Thessalonians 2 says he'll step into that holy place and declare himself to be God. That's in Revelation 13. We know it happens at the midpoint because he says that's when he begins to blaspheme the temple and the tabernacle and those who dwell in heaven." I mean, that's when he changes. Okay? The Antichrist first comes peacefully. I'm going to show you that in the scriptures. Then he come Then he changes at the midpoint and becomes the vicious satanic individual that he is. Okay? So, I just wanted you to see that the Bible clearly says there'd be a day that he'd be revealed. All right? Now, I want everybody to turn to
Revelation Revelation uh 17, actually. Since I have this, I'm going to go ahead and move this out of the way. Revelation 17. I want to show you something real quick here. Now, I could give you and I've talked about all the different signs that are coming to pass. Israel becoming a nation in 1948 was a key to all of this. Um the the the great earthquakes that have been happening. So many things are coming together that tells us that we are in the last days. But Revelation 17 also tells us we would know really we would know that the time was getting close because of the kingdoms that would arise. And Revelation 17 talks about the beast and the and the great Now, um I did a uh message a few months back but about the Babylon, which I believe is the Roman Catholic Church without question. Okay? That can be proved easily. You disagree with me, listen to that and then we'll talk. Okay? But I believe it's the Roman Catholic Church and even Catholics believe. This is a Most Roman Catholics and Roman Catholics believe that the last Pope would be an evil Pope who would um who would join basically with the Antichrist and that Rome would be destroyed. There's a prophecy by a guy that called a Catholic priest named Saint Malachy that had a prophecy over all the popes that would follow. And but he said the last one would be an evil pope, and I believe that. And this one this one that we have very well may be, okay? There's possibly There's possibly within that prophecy either this pope is the last one or there may be one more. All right, but that's a different issue. But Revelation 17 talks about three things. Talks about the the beast, the great the 10 horns, the one world government, and I just want to look at this verse. Uh go down to verse, let's see. Okay, verse eight. Y'all with me? The beast that thou sawest was and is not and 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. And when they behold the beast that was and is not and yet is. And he says, "And here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits." That's a reference to the seven hills of Rome. And then he says there he says, "And there are seven kings. Five are fallen. One is. The other is not yet come, and when he cometh, he will continue a short space. And the beast that was and is not, even he is the eighth, and he will go into perdition. And the 10 horns that you saw are 10 kings which have received no kingdom as yet, but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind."
That's the one world government. They have one mind, one purpose. They shall give their power and strength unto the beast. They will all declare allegiance to him. They shall And then it says, "These shall make war with the lamb, but the lamb will overcome them, Jesus, for he is the Lord of lords and the King of kings." All right, now, I want you to see that it says there are seven kings. Now, when John wrote this in about 96 AD, he said there are seven kings. And what he's talking about is beast kingdoms that have persecuted Israel. Okay? This is a key here because the beast would have not not necessarily worldwide authority. I mean, it'll go pretty far, but he's talking about some some powerful kingdoms who would persecute the Jewish people and and even Christians. So, he says five are fallen. So, here they are. These are the eight beast kingdoms. All right? He says at the time of the the writing of Revelation, he said five are fallen. Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medeo-Persia, and Greece. Those are your five kingdoms that had all pretty much ruled the world at that time, the known world at that time, and all had persecuted the Jewish people. All right? Egypt, one, Assyria, Babylon, Medeo-Persia, and Greece. Then he said one is. Well, what power was in power when John wrote Revelation? The Roman Empire. The Roman Empire ended though in about 474 AD. Give or take. Some people have different ideas, but it was around that time. He said one will come for a short time and then the eighth. So, between 474 AD and now, what kingdom came up for a short time, persecuted the Jewish people? Nazi Germany. Exactly. Many people don't know or realize how close Hitler was to taking over the whole world. He nearly took all of Europe. He was very interested in taking over Israel or Palestine at the time, and he was trying to take North Africa. All of things which the Antichrist will do. Okay? But matter of fact, I mean, I've watched documentaries on World War II. He was this close to the atomic bomb. I believe God's miraculous intervention kept us from that. One will come for a short time. So, then the eighth. Here's what's interesting. When did World War II end? 1945. So, he said that following 1945, the eighth kingdom would come into play at some time. 10 toes or 10 kings a beast. What began to happen after 1945? That's when the world began what? The League of Nations, right? That became now what we know as the United Nations, okay? Ever since that time there has been a push
to unite the world under a one-world government. I could go back and quote popes and presidents and bankers and I could go back and quote so many people. That's when the push began to bring together the eighth kingdom. And it's speedily approaching us, okay? So, that's a That right there is a timeline that you can't ignore, right? Now, what happened in 1948? Israel became a nation. Now, before 1948, listen to me. None of the prophecies concerning Israel being attacked, Israel destroying Damascus, Syria, none of the end-time prophecies concerning Israel could happen. Jesus said, "When you see Israel surrounded by her enemies." Well, Israel didn't exist. So, in 1948, the Jewish nation is born in one day. That's when the time clock started ticking on time is running out on us. And now is Israel surrounded by enemies on every side? Yes. All right. So, we are in the time frame. That's what I'm getting at here, okay? Let's move on. Now, Daniel chapter 7. I'm just going to You can just look at these if you want. If you want to turn there, you can, but I'm going fast. Daniel talks about four beasts because he he a couple of beasts had already happened. Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon at this point had already happened. Then he talks about a fourth beast that he saw that had 10 horns. Sound familiar? Didn't we just read that in Revelation 17? He said, "I saw a fourth beast with 10 horns, and among them a little horn came up." That's another name for the Antichrist. A little horn came up among them, and he made war with the saints and prevailed against them. And And one of the reasons, guys, this is this is important is very soon when this man comes to power, there will follow a massive worldwide persecution of Christians unlike we have ever seen. You understand that it's coming. All right. Many of us may well have to lay down our lives for our stand for Jesus. Amen? But it Look at Daniel 8:23-26. Let's Let's turn there. Daniel 8:23-26. Cuz this is key. Now, I'm not giving you anything this morning that is not important to where I'm going. I've had plenty of time to think this one out. Daniel chapter 8. I want to I want you to see it. Somebody say, "Praise you, Jesus." Amen? If God didn't want us to know this stuff, why didn't he put it so much of it in the Bible? Right? All right. Daniel 8. Let's read about the Antichrist. Daniel 8:20 What I say? 23-26. Look what he says here. "And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors
are come to a full, a king of fierce countenance and understanding dark sentences shall stand up, and his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power. And he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also shall he cause his craft to prosper in his hand, and he shall magnify himself in his heart. And look at this, and by peace shall destroy many. Isn't that a strange phrase? And by peace shall destroy many. And he shall also stand up against the prince of princes. That's Jesus. At the end, at Armageddon, but he shall be broken without hand. So, by peace he will destroy many. Now, you have to understand something. The Antichrist will not gain the favor of the world by looking like a vicious, cruel persecutor of Christians and Jews. That's not how he will come to power. It says he will work deceitfully, and by peace he will rise to power. By preaching peace, teaching peace, he will rise through the ranks of the world and come to power and be accepted by everyone almost in the world. Okay? So, that also tells me that this man to be to gain the favor of the whole world to where they give their power to the beast. This man had to be working on the scenes for some time. Behind the scenes, building credibility, being accepted by the right people. Okay? You'll see in in a few minutes. But by peace it says he will destroy many. I want to uh look Daniel 11:21-45 talks about and this is a key. We're going to come back to this at the end. It says this about him. It says they shall not give the honor of the kingdom at first. But he shall come in peaceably and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. And after a league or a covenant or a treaty made with him, he shall work deceitfully. Everybody see that? So, he's going to be a man of peace. He's going to be a man consumed with the Middle East peace process. And he will be actually part of treaties and things between Arab the Arab people Arab peoples and the Jewish peoples, okay? A lot of this is already going on, y'all don't know it. That Daniel 9 says not that he will make a covenant for 1 week or 7 years. It says he will confirm a covenant. That means the covenant that's already in place. He'll confirm it or strengthen it. Oslo Accords. The Jordanian peace treaty with Israel, yeah. These are treaties already in place. Okay? Let's keep going. That's why I said here, he shall confirm the covenant with many. Do you see that? With many. Daniel 9:27, he will confirm the covenant with many for 1 week, 7 years, and in the midst of the week he will cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease and set up the abomination of desolation.
So, we're told very clearly that in the middle of the tribulation, the 3 and 1/2 years, is when he enters the temple, the rebuilt Jewish temple, and puts in the abomination of desolation. This is what Jesus was referring to. But, there will be a treaty that is confirmed or strengthened. And it'll be for 7 years. Okay? Let's keep going. Um just so you see this verse in 8:23, I looked up some of the Hebrew words behind the scenes. You can do this. But, where it says in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to a full, a king or royal Remember that phrase. A royal of fierce countenance, strong face, and understanding dark sentences, very very intelligent, intellectual, answering hard questions, shall stand up and and his power will be that of a chameleon. He will be able to blend in and look all peoples almost will accept him. Jews, Christians, Muslims, the European Union, New Agers, Buddhists. He And everybody understand this that the Antichrist is both a political and a spiritual person. Okay? And but he's he's power is in a and and actually the Strong's Hebrew dictionary uses as one of the words to define this word power was chameleon. I've never seen that before. Okay? And he shall be mighty and not by his own power. We know that the dragon gives him his power, Satan. That's what Revelation tells us. And he shall destroy one for wonderfully and prosper and practice and he shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And check this out. And through his policy, intelligence, and success, he shall cause craft, deception, or fraud to prosper at his hand. And he shall magnify himself in his heart and by peace, false promises of security and prosperity, he shall destroy many. And he shall stand up against the prince of princes and but shall be broken without hand. So, do you see that? By peace. I want to I want to just drill that into your head because the guy that I believe is the guy He's done an interview with Christianity today. And they love him. Cuz he's a builder of peace. Okay? Let's keep going here. Um it's pretty well known that almost every religion, the New Agers, the Buddhists, the Hindus, um everyone is looking for their Messiah or their world spiritual teacher to appear. Um matter of fact, Hindus believe their spiritual is called Kalki, the the avatar Kalki. And they believe there was a prophecy, a Hindu prophecy, that this man would come sometime after an aligning of the planets in 2012. Isn't that interesting? And they say they believe their Messiah is coming um riding on a white horse. It's interesting, the Hindus. The
Buddhists believe their Lord Maitreya or the final incarnation of the Buddha is about to appear. Um the New Agers believe they're calling him Maitreya, but the world spiritual teacher is about to appear. Well, Benjamin Creme here is a British artist. He's one of the main New Age leaders for the since since the '70s. Uh he's been the principal source of information about the emergence of Maitreya, the world teacher. He has channeled a demon spirit for decades and has proclaimed the coming of a great world teacher. Recently on his website, he said that his mission that this great world teacher, his mission has begun. Okay? Now, if you don't believe, let's let's just look at this. He says, this is a quote from him. This is directly from Benjamin Creme's website. He says, "Many now expect the return of their awaited teacher, whether they call him the Christ, Messiah, the fifth Buddha, Krishna, the Imam Mahdi, millions now know that the teacher who fulfills all of these expectations is already living among us." I want you to see that. Millions already know. Millions know this man has been living among us. Maitreya, the world teacher, has not come alone, but with a group of wise teachers who have long guided humanity from behind the scenes. You know who those are? Demon spirits and Satan. Who have masqueraded as what they've called the ascended masters of wisdom who are giving these people telling them what's going to be going on. Anyway, he says he will inspire us to what? Create a new age based on sharing and justice, freedom and peace so that all may have the basic necessities of life, food, shelter, health care, education in a world free from want and war. So, he's sitting here saying these are these are good things to want, mind you. But, this is the way he will come to power and deceive, okay? Let's keep going. Hope I'm not going too fast. We'll make all of this available later. Now, if you think Mr. Creme is just a new age nut speaking alone, think again. The United Nations is proclaiming the exact same thing. You want to you want to see that? Here's what the United Nations saying. There's three that there's a there's a tremendous spiritual side to the United Nations that most people don't know about. Okay? There's three parts here that I brought up. The Lucius Trust, which is a member of the United Nations, which is formerly known as the Lucifer Publishing Company. There's a meditation room at the UN for new agers meditation and Baha'i and all this stuff. And the Aquarian Age Community, which is the spiritual foundation of the United Nations. All right? I got all this stuff is directly from their website. The Lucius Trust is an organization founded in the 1920s by well-known occultist Alice Bailey. It's recognized by the United Nations as a non-governmental organization. It's represented at regular briefing sessions at the United Nations. The Lucius Trust also is a member of the UN Economic and
Social Council. Until recently, the Lucius Trust was located at 666 United Nations Plaza. Isn't that interesting? It says Alice Bailey channeled a spirit guide that has called itself the Tibetan Master the I guess the wall coal or whatever. Bailey taught that the world spiritual teacher would soon appear and lead the world into the age of Aquarius and it was the task of her disciples or really the the United Nations to prepare the way for his imminent appearance. Okay? This is a sanctioned group by the United Nations. All right? The meditation's room Bailey claimed that the reappearance of the world spiritual teacher required intense meditation and reciting of the great invocation, which is a new age prayer basically calling for the Antichrist to come. Okay? They don't call him the Antichrist, but that's what they're what we know him as. Former UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld uh was also a follower of Bailey and he was responsible for the construction of the meditation room within the UN building. Meditation meetings have been held regularly within this room for decades and they open with a recital of Bailey's great invocation. Let me just say this. The United Nations is an occult. It's deeply into the occult. Deeply. All right? This other group that's called the spiritual uh the Aquarian Age Community, the Spiritual Foundation of the United Nations, the ACC was founded by the Lucius Trust and describes its mission as preparing the way for the imminent appearance of the world spiritual teacher. They are official consultative NGO in association with the United Nations Department of Public Information and their website is sponsored by the UN. Okay? You can look these people up yourself. The ACC had a large meeting in New York in 2001 completely dedicated to the reappearance of the world spiritual teacher. Um in their report of the meeting they said, and here's the quote, "The world spiritual teacher is known by many different names in the various religious and spiritual traditions of the world. This great being is referred to by such names as the Christ, the Lord Maitreya, the thinker, the healer, the true Aquarian, the pilgrim, the Imam Mahdi, and the Bodhisattva, or the Buddha." These people believe a man's coming who will embody the Messiah principle of all religions. And they're going to give their allegiance to him. But I wanted you to say And the reason I highlighted Imam Mahdi, that is the Muslim the awaited Muslim Messiah. Okay? Did you notice the United Nations said that, right? Benjamin Creme, leading New Ager, said that, right? All Muslims in the world, whether Sunnis or Shiites, believe that a great leader will arise from
among them. Okay? And be the Mahdi. Can't answer questions today. Wri- Write it down, though. All right? Here we go. Now it's about to get interesting. Reasons why the Antichrist will be a Muslim. And I just want to say this, who in here has heard of Perry Stone? Anybody heard of Perry Stone? He's a prophecy teacher on TV. He's probably one of the most respected prophecy teachers on television. Uh Church of God evangelist, been doing it for many years. He wrote a book in 2003 called Unleashing the Beast, where he believed back then that the Antichrist would be a Muslim. Now let me say this. The Antichrist could not be a radical jihad Muslim. Not at first. He has to come as a moderate for the world to accept him. Okay? But I'm going to give you a few reasons why I believe that the Antichrist will be a Muslim. Okay? First of all, Isaiah chapter 10 calls him the Assyrian. Now somebody else has done a little thing on the internet about this guy, and they call him the Assyrian and say that that Isaiah 14 says it. It's kind of vague in Isaiah 14, but in Isaiah chapter 10 that calls him the Assyrian, there are definite end-time references there that he's talking about. Okay? I don't have time to spend a lot of time on that, but you can read it and see it for yourself. Now another reason that I believe and others believe that the Antichrist will be a Muslim, um, was because the beast of Revelation 13, that beast that comes up out of the sea is a part leopard, it says leopard and it says lion and it says bear. Those three symbols were from the book of Daniel and the book of Daniel tells us that the leopard was Greece, that the bear was Media Persia, which is now what? Iran, Saudi Arabia, and what? The lion was the symbol of Babylon, Iraq. And those kingdoms, the Grecian empire contained the area of ancient Assyria or Syria, Jordan, Israel, Egypt, Ethiopia, the Sudan, and into Europe. The bear was Media Persia, which is modern Iran, and the and the lion, which was Babylon, is modern Iraq. Okay? So, I want you to see that this this beast kingdom that he talks about coming together is a coming together of Muslim nations and European nations. Some people have just said it's just going to be Europe, the European Union. I disagree. There are 1.66 billion Muslims that are not following a Westerner, folks. You understand? They hate Westerners. That's what Do you know that's 1/4 of the world population? All right? Our Muslims. Let's keep going.
And these are uh reasons continued, and that's what I just said, there's 1.66 billion Muslims. They're not going to follow a Jew, a European, an American, the Pope, or any Westerner other than uh other religious or political leader who is not a Muslim. They simply would never accept anyone except a direct descendant of Muhammad as their Mahdi. So, that is why the New Agers, the UN, they say he will also be this man will be considered by the Muslims the Mahdi. Okay? I said, but the most convincing evidence, and this is what's going to blow some of your mind cuz it blew my mind. The most convincing evidence that we that the Antichrist will be a Muslim is found in Revelation 13 concerning the mark of the beast. All right? Everybody turn there. Revelation chapter 13. You are going to learn something today you did not know about the mark of the beast, I assure you. Unless you just really been studying. Now, the Bible says that there will be a mark put in the right hand or in the forehead that will determine whether we can buy or sell in the end. That will be the Antichrist, but it will say also it's connected to allegiance to the Antichrist to the beast. You know, we all have numbers. Guess what? You can't hardly do anything without a a bank account number, uh social security number, a driver's license number. We already have numbers that either allow or keep us from doing things, don't we? Well, there's coming another one, but it's going to be tied to the beast, the Antichrist, the the kingdom, and you won't be able to buy or sell. And I do believe that this mark will be an RFID chip in the hand or in the forehead, okay? But there's another aspect to this mark that we need to look at, okay? Here's the verse. This is Revelation 13:18. Here's what he says. Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast for it is the number of a man, and his number is 600 three score or 60 and six. Now, that's where we get it in English translation. What I have here is this is actually how it's written in Greek. Okay? And down here is the number 666, three Greek letters. Chi, Xi, stigma. Okay? That's how it was written. Now, in the Hebrew In Hebrew and Greek, ancient Hebrew, ancient Greek, they had this thing called gematria. Everybody heard of gematria? Gematria is where a number was assigned to every letter, and they could calculate Every word came out to be a number. Okay? So, it's interesting here that that numbers are not used in the original Greek. It was three letters. Chi, Xi, stigma. Okay? Now, those three letters work out like this.
The Chi in Greek is 600. The Xi, or Sti, some of them pronounce it that way, 60, and the stigma or is six. So, everybody see that? So, when he said, when John wrote this, he saw this. You got to remember John saw this in a vision. He saw it, and he wrote what he saw. You hear what I'm saying? So, he didn't write down 666 numbers. He wrote down these letters, and it's very important. You see it? I'm going to show you something here in a second. It's going to blow your mind. He wrote these letters. Now, I'll show you. Here's a Here is a copy of the oldest Greek manuscript of the Book of Revelation going back to the third century. Okay? This is the oldest writing. It was literal It looked the the pen it was written. Okay? This is 666. Chi, Xi, stigma. Okay? Now, how many of you know what this is? You ever stigma. You know that word we use? That's a Roman uh the back you know, of course Greece came before Rome. Well, the Romans used this symbol right here and branded it on slaves in the Roman Empire. Okay? If you were a slave of the Roman Empire, you were branded with this symbol. Stigma. Okay? But it also in Gematria equaled six. Okay? This is the the way it was originally written. Are y'all with me? All right. Let's look at something here. Do you see how this middle letter here looks like that right there, doesn't it? You know what this is? This right here is the symbol for Islam. It means in Arabic in the name of Allah. Okay? Now, the um the Muslims write this, it's flipped around like this. It's exactly Do you see this up here? And that little hook, look at that. Now, remind Let me remind you of this. This was in the 3rd century AD. John wrote this down in AD 96. Islam did not come into being until 600 AD and Muhammad got his revelation and wrote the Quran in 610 AD. So, we have a copy of this. This is here 300 plus years before Muhammad even wrote the Quran. All right? Don't take my word for it though.
Let's look at it again. Look familiar, doesn't it? Matter of fact, this symbol you will see all over the place in Islam on there even even on copies of the Quran. Okay? Here it is right here. Means the symbol for Allah or in the name of Allah. Okay? Let's keep going. If you don't want to take my word for it, take Mr. Walid Shoebat. Mr. Walid Shoebat was a former PLO terrorist. He is now a Christian evangelist. He converted to Christianity in 1994. He's the author and lecturer. He's written several books. He's a lecturer in many universities including Harvard Law, Columbia, USC, UCLA, Georgia, Concordia, Penn State, and on and on. He's appeared on CNN, Fox News, all the major networks NBC, ABC, CBS, The 700 Club. Mr. Shoebat has stated publicly that when he saw the Greek symbol translated 666, he immediately read it as the Arabic character which means in the name of Allah. Okay? Let's keep going. This is too good. There's a number of symbol there, the chi or the X that looks like an X can also be found in Islam. This here is is the black standard which they believe also that that black flag should follow the coming of the Mahdi. This is taken this right here is taken straight from the Anti-Defamation League website describing this right here, the middle one. And they said the swords reinforce the group's militancy and as traditional weapons symbolizes historic Islam. They also reinforce the group's commitment to jihad. The Quran denotes that the group's spiritual foundation the motto be prepared which is written here. The motto be prepared is the reference to the Quranic verse that talks about being prepared to fight the enemies of God. So, the sign this sign with the swords crossed is the sign of Jihad or enforcing the government or law of Allah or Muhammad. Okay? So, let's look at this together here. And of course, stigma I've already told you stigma stigma um has the numerical values changed since the first century, but but back then it was the numerical value six, but the literal meaning is a scar or mark or a badge of service. Romans branded or marked their slaves with its symbol or Greek letter. All right, let's look at this right here. So, these three letters, i.e. symbols, when put together would read through Jihad in the name of Allah, make others serve or become slaves putting a mark on them. Pretty amazing, isn't it? Let's keep going. The Bismillah or the the Quran. Now, let
me just freak y'all out. Guess what? In Islam, the number 666 is a holy number. I did not know this until recently. All right. The Bismillah in the Quran, let's let's look at this. It says, "In the name of God Allah, most gracious, most merciful." are the opening words of the Quran. The phrase is used by Muslims around the world to open many of their prayers and is a phrase that opens many Islamic constitutions of their countries. This phrase is called Bismillah, and it is the key for identifying the correct version of the Quran as it is revealed to Muhammad in 610 AD. The test is performed using Gematria, a numerical system in the ancient world which letters are assigned numerical values. Here we go. The number of the Quran is 666. According to Gematria, the Bismillah can therefore be thought of as a mark or number of the true Quran. A Muslim website states that the number of the true Quran is 666, and it is that which frees mankind. It concludes that the Christian doctrine relating to 666 to the Antichrist is a deception designed to keep man in bondage. Okay? Let's keep going. So, here's some Muslim quotes. In the words of Muslims, the number 666 is highly publicized all over the world, and it's associated with evil and danger. However, it is not what it seems. It is a satanic trick. The trick was to prevent people from approaching 666. Satan knew that the 666 is the book of God, and people should be kept away from it. The 666 is the book of God. Their book of God is the Quran. They say this. I got three Muslims quoted here. Let's look at another one. He says here, "The number 666 is mentioned in the Book of Revelation 13:18 as part of a satanic scheme to hypnotize the minds of Christians. It is intended to cast fear and evil. The reason is to create negative prejudice in the minds of people when they witness the number 666. The truth The truth is that the Quran is the 666, the book from the Lord of the universe." Do you see that? Here's another Muslim says, "The first sura in the Quran is 666. It's praise." That's that Bismillah, the first phrase. He says, "This This sura or verse is the gift of God to us to establish contact with him through our daily contact prayers." And there's the website I got it from right there. Listen to me, you guys. They think it's good. The Muslim world thinks 666 is good, and it's a way to be in contact with God. This is why God warned us of this. And this is something else. God says, "You take the mark of the beast, the number of his name, you are damned forever in hell. The smoke of your torment will go up forever and ever." That's why this is so critical, especially if we're going to be here, which I believe we are, to see all this.
Let's keep going. Again, I said I believe still that the mark's going to be the RFID chip, but it will be connected to the final beast kingdom. Let's keep going. And there it is. Look at how small that thing is. Microchip in there. Let's keep going. Thus, the biblical picture of the Antichrist. This is just a little summary here. I said the biblical picture of the Antichrist is that a moderate Muslim of Assyrian ancestry who first promotes peace and unity among religions and nations. He will play a key role in trying to bring peace in the Arab-Israeli conflict. He will promote humanitarian issues, wealth redistribution, world government, new age philosophy, and be almost obsessed with Jerusalem. Now, is Are we clear on that? This is all in the Bible. Obsessed with Jerusalem. Well, he says he will he will invade Jerusalem. What? When they rebuild the temple, he's going to go in the temple declare himself to be God. He believes he has right to Jerusalem. Okay? Everybody with me? Now, the three holy sites in Islam. What do everybody know what they are? Two of them are in Saudi Arabia and one is in Israel. Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia are the first two holy sites of Islam. And Jerusalem, the Temple Mount. And they want it all. But they got a little problem. It's called Israel and Israel's nuclear weapons. Okay? That's why they're going to have to make peace, but after a war that's coming real soon. Okay? But I wanted you to see that the picture of the Antichrist. That Now everybody just look at me real quick. Does everybody see why I and other people believe that the the Antichrist will be a Muslim? Does it Did this my all make sense? Okay? Moderate Muslim though. Assyrian ancestry. Promote peace and unity. Remember, by peace destroy many, right? Play a key role in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Promote humanitarian issues. Matter of fact, if you look up some of the words in Daniel, it literally says he will divide the spoil of the portions. He's going to talk about taking from rich countries and helping poor countries and making that mandatory. Okay? That's in the Bible. It's in Daniel. He will push for world government. He'll have new age philosophy, be obsessed with Jerusalem. Everybody in agreement on those things. The Bible spell that out, right? I said this Muslim will be accepted by the Pope and other Roman Catholics, world leaders, the United Nations, European Union, New Agers, and various branches of Islam because of his work for peace and unity. Muslims though will only
accept him because he is a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad. All the Muslim prophecies and all of Muslim teaching teaches that the Mahdi must be a direct descendant of Muhammad. Otherwise, he's a fake and a phony. Okay? Y'all with me on that? So, you got 1.66 billion Muslims. You got about 1.3 billion Catholics. You You another billion Hindus. You see where this is going? New Agers, Buddhists, probably another billion. How many are there in the world? 6.9 billion people. Already, we got 2/3 of the population, easily, will follow this guy. I'll show you in a minute how Pope John Paul II and Benedict have worked to pave the way for Catholics to accept this man. Okay? Let's keep going. Here's the question. Is there a man on the world scene right now that fulfills all of the requirements to be the biblical Antichrist? Is there a man? Yes, there is. And this is him. His name is His Royal Highness, Crown Prince El Hassan bin Talal of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. He is a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, the 42nd generation. I want you to see this is important to know that his brother was the King of Jordan, the late Abdullah I, who died of cancer in 1999. Uh the Crown Prince here was supposed to assume the throne following his brother's death, but his brother shocked the world and chose his son over the next in line. We'll talk about that in a minute. This man, uh has worked on the world scene for many years. Born in 19 in Amman, Jordan in 1947. He's about 64 years old right now. You're going to be blown away by some things about this man. Let me just say something about him real quick. Guess what country of the world controls the Temple Mount Jerusalem? Not Israel. Jordan. Jordan is the only country that can say Jews you can build a temple up here. Okay? The Hashemite family ruled Mecca and Medina and Jerusalem and
they are received by both Sunnis and Shiites as the rightful heirs and guardians of the three holy sites of Islam. So this man has a right to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and believes he has a right. I'm going to show you that in a second. He believes he has a right. Let's go to the next thing here. This is he and his wife. It's very interesting about his wife. Um his wife is um her her father, her grandfather, her families have been uh one of her one of her like her grandfather or great-grandfather, I can't remember all the details now on this but was the the the founder of Pakistan. Another one of her uncles was king of India. And I've always wondered, you know, the Antichrist the Bible says will have nuclear weapons in the end cuz he will destroy Rome in one day. I wondered where he'd get them. What's What's the only Muslim country in the world that has nuclear weapons right now? Pakistan. Interesting duo you got there. That's another reason he will have favor with India and Pakistan. Okay? His Royal Highness. Now this is taken st- directly from King Hussein's website. You see this down here? www.kinghussein.gov. This was the former King Hussein. I'm sorry, King Hussein was his brother. This is on the website about him. This is his bio on the website. It says, "His Royal Highness Prince El Hassan bin Talal is the 42nd generation direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, through the male line of the prophet's grandson El Hassan." "Prince Hassan's branch of the Hashemite family ruled in Mecca from 1201 CE until 1925. The prince's grandfather, Sharif Hussein bin Ali, Emir of Mecca, later King of Hejaz, which is Saudi Arabia, the western part of Saudi Arabia, which contains Mecca and Medina, led the Great Arab Revolt of 1916 against the Turkish colonial occupation of the Arab lands, thereby creating the modern states of Hejaz or Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iraq, and Transjordan." His grandfather founded those countries. Just to say this, he's interested in possibly becoming the leader of Iraq. What is Iraq? Ancient Babylon. Sound familiar? We won't go into that today. There's a lot to that. Let's keep going here. Prince Hassan received his BA in Oriental Studies in 1967 from Oxford and subsequently received his master's. He has published several books.
And I want you to look at the books he's published. First one, 1979, A Study on Jerusalem, where he goes through like a lawyer declaring how the Palestinians and the Arab people have legal right to take back Jerusalem from the Jewish people. Palestinian self-determination, a study on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, 1981. Search for peace, 1984. Christianity in the Arab world, 1995. In the memory of Faisal one, or the the king former king of Iraq, who Saddam Hussein killed. The Iraqi question. To be a Muslim, Islam, peace and democracy, 2003. Sound interesting, doesn't it? Let's just keep going here. Let's look at Prince Hassan's connection to the UN. Here's Prince Hassan with the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, or whatever how you say his name. But that's recent. He is the recent He is still presently the Secretary General of the UN. Um In 1981, Prince Hassan addressed the 36th session of the United Nations and proposed the establishment of a new international humanitarian order. That speech led to a request by the Secretary General to found and co-chair the independent commission on international humanitarian issues. The final report of the commission was adopted as a resolution at the 42nd General Assembly of the United Nations. So, going all the way back to 1981, he has been received by the United Nations. And that has continued to the present day. Now, I could go on and on. He's He's on a special council of five people for the United Nations. But here is something else. This This ought to just shake you. Prince Hassan was president of the Club of Rome from 1999 until 2007. The Club of Rome is interesting because they're the number one think tank in the world for world government. Let's just look at Prince Hassan was elected president of the Club of Rome, which means he had to be asked to be a member of a very elite club. And he was asked to be a member and then elected by those elite members to be the president in 1999 and served as such until 2007. This is significant because the Club of Rome was founded in 1968 at David Rockefeller's estate in Bellagio, Italy and has for its members the most powerful and influential people in the world. This club is the number one think tank and advocate for one world government. They actually proposed the idea of that the world should be broken up into 10 regions and governed by a central authority. 10 regions. Very interesting, isn't it? This man was the president of this group for 8 years. There's a lot I I I told Kevin we you know Kevin and I work together. I told him I said I said I could do just a message
on the Club of Rome and what they plan to do and on the UN and what they're doing fully. The Club of Rome consists just so you know some of the people in the Club of Rome. Uh like Mikhail Gorbachev who's now the leading advocate for world government. Um Maurice Strong, former head of the UN Environmental Program and chief policy adviser to the former Secretary General Kofi Annan. And he is a devout New Ager. And of course Kofi Annan is is part of that. Robert Mueller, the former Assistant Secretary General of the UN, founder of the Chancellor of the UN University of Peace. Look at this, the Dalai Lama. Catholic priest Father Barry Thomas. Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Bill Gates, Ted Turner, Tony Blair, Deepak Chopra the leading New Age guru, Henry Kissinger, Karan Karan Singh former Prime Minister of India, chairman of the Temple of Understanding. And many kings, queens, presidents, and former presidents. Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and I mean I could go on. Carlos of of Spain. I mean presidents of countries. Do you understand? Former presidents and sitting presidents and kings and queens are in this club. And what are they talking about? One world government and breaking the world up into 10 regions and appointing their leaders over those regions. Okay? I mean God's word is coming to pass, right? Remember that? He said what? The 10 horns are the 10 toes. The 10 horns are what? 10 kings that will arise. They have no kingdom as yet, but they will arise. So, I believe this is the pattern we're going to see happen. Let's keep going. Other associations of the prince. Now, because I believe that the Roman Catholic Church is the great of Revelation 13, I mean 17, then I thought, "Well, if this is the man, if this is the beast, then the beast and the have to be together at some point. They have to be working together." Well, guess what? It didn't take much to Google Prince Hassan and the Pope. And guess what I found. Here we go. Other associations of the prince. And here is Prince Hassan with Pope Benedict. Here is the leading Jewish rabbi of Europe. Here is the head of the Eastern Orthodox Church. They're all together. Here's a picture of them together with other cardinals and bishops. He says here, "Prince Hassan is also has a connection with the Pope Benedict the XVI. In 1999, now remember Pope Ratzinger did not become Pope until 2005 when John Paul II died. But in 1999, the prince established the Geneva-based Foundation for Interreligious and Intercultural Research and Dialogue, and the future Pope, then Cardinal Ratzinger, was one of its founding members. Together, Prince Hassan bin
Talal and Cardinal Ratzinger formed this foundation together. And served as its board members ever since. Pope has visited him in Jordan. Pope John Paul visited Prince Hassan in Jordan. He has had an inter-working. As a matter of fact, listen to this. The this Prince Hassan has honorary doctorates from a Catholic university in Germany and an honorary doctorate from a Jewish, you know, university. So, this guy's received by Catholics, Muslims, Jews. Pretty amazing, isn't it? New Agers. European Union loves him. I really don't have even have time to develop it all. Pope Benedict visits Jordan. This was in May of 2009. I just got to read this. There's a little picture of the two of them there. And it says, "In May 2009, Pope Benedict the 16th did a tour of the Middle East and visited Prince Hassan in Jordan." Leading up to that visit, Prince Hassan expressed his high hopes for the visit. Now, listen to what Prince Hassan says about Pope Benedict coming to Jordan. And in his tour to me, he says, "There is a sort of a combination of hope, expectation, and nostalgia for a golden age. A Camelot, if you will." In that sense, I have the greatest hope that the visit of the Pope, His Holiness, can be a a Muslim calling him His Holiness. Could be a major step in visualizing a struggle for a law of peace. The Pope and Prince Hassan like this. Also, do you know what Cardinal Ratzinger did before he was Pope? He was head of the doctrine office of the Catholic Church. During which time Ratzinger and Pope John Paul II changed the Roman Catholic catechism to say that Muslims were saved whether they believed in Jesus or not. This is why the one world religion of accepting everybody's religion and every way leads to God and don't you know be tolerant. Jesus is not the only way. Everybody has their way. That's the spirit of Antichrist, you guys. Amen. Let's keep going. Prince Hassan and Pope John Paul II, they had many meetings together. On May 6th, 2001, Pope John Paul II became the first Catholic Pope to enter
and pray in an Islamic mosque. He respectfully removed his shoes before he entered the mosque in Damascus, Syria. The Pope also kissed the Quran while in Syria an act which made him popular among Muslims but disturbed many Catholics. Do you understand that this book right here, the Quran, denies that Jesus is the son of God? The very teachings of Muhammad and this book are what is defined by the Bible as the spirit of Antichrist. If you deny the son of God, if you deny that Jesus came in the flesh, if you deny that God has a son, that is a spirit of Antichrist. How can the quote leader, which I don't believe he's ever the leader of true Christianity, but how can the leader of Christianity kiss a Quran? And listen, you only take your shoes off. When did Moses take his shoes off? When God's presence was in something, he said, "You're on holy ground." And it was out of respect for God. He takes off his shoes into walks into a mosque, honors Allah AS THE POPE. KISSES THE QURAN. And then changes the Roman Catholic Catechism. And this is blasphemy. To say that there is any other way to heaven except through the blood of Jesus is blasphemy. It is blasphemy of the faith and the blood of Christ. And here's what it said, "Pope John Paul was the overseer of the new publication of the Catechism, official teachings of the Catholic Church, which made a special provision for Muslims." His revision includes Muslims in the plan of salvation even though they reject Jesus Christ as God in the flesh, the Son of God, and deny that he died on the cross for the sins of mankind, thus denying that Jesus is the only way to heaven. The Catechism says, "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the creator in the first place amongst whom are Muslims. They profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us, they adore the one merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day." Catholic Catechism number 841. No, friend. No. Whether Muslim or Jew or New Ager or Buddhist or Hindu, you are not going to heaven when you die unless you turn from that idolatry, that sin, and accept Jesus Christ as the only Messiah, as the only savior, as the God who came in the flesh, died on the cross, rose from the dead. Anything other than that is blasphemy. And it's interesting that it says on the beast that out of his mouth and on his head were written the names of blasphemy.
2008, the Tokyo-based Niwano Peace Foundation, which is a Buddhist organization, but it's one of the chief peace awards that can be given by Japan. I want to say something. I believe what happened to Japan was a judgment from God. And I believe it was for not only their rejection of the gospel for hundreds of years, but they have been intimately involved with Prince Hassan, whom I believe to be the Antichrist. But it says in 2008 they awarded their 2008 prize for religious contributions to to peace to Jordanian Prince El Hassan bin Talal. The Niwano press release stated, "The prince has long been active in interreligious dialogue and epitomizes the moderate voice of Islam. Prince Hassan has devoted his life to building peace with justice in the Middle East based on his understanding of human dignity, informed and inspired by his faith. He has been a bridge builder across political and religious divides." Y'all with me on that? By his faith, really? The Quran says to kill Jews and anyone who doesn't believe. Mhm. Maybe he'll get to that one day. Right? Here's some amazing specific facts. I'm going to go back to Daniel chapter 11. But some specific things that point to the prince of the song. Okay? Yeah, we're good there. Daniel, go back to Daniel chapter 11. I want you to see this. It's kind of warm in here, isn't it? Or is it just me? Daniel 11. Goodness, I keep going past it myself. And I'm going to going to back up here. I I think I can put up the same verse for you. For Goodness. All right. Daniel 11 verse 21 through 25. I'll put I knew I could had that on here already. Some hints. Okay? Let's go down to verse 21 to read it. And in his estate
shall stand up a vile person whom they will not give the honor of the kingdom. But he shall come in peaceably and attain the kingdom by flatteries. And with the arms of a flood shall they be overthrown from before him and shall be broken. Yea, also the prince of the covenant. And after the league made with him, he shall work deceitfully for he shall come up and shall become strong with a small people. He will enter peaceably upon the fattest places of the province. He shall do that which his fathers have not done nor his fathers' fathers. He will scatter among them the prey and the spoil and the riches. See that humanitarian thing, that redistribution of wealth? Here it is right here. Now, let me stop right here. It's interesting, they say, they will not give him the honor of the kingdom. Remember what I told you earlier? In 1999, the whole world, these are New York Times articles and so on. The world was shocked when his brother, dying on his deathbed, did not name him the next king of Jordan. And it shocked Prince Hassan as well. But his brother, and I don't have this quote up here, but you can go find it on his brother's website, and I can show you later. But here's what his brother said. He wrote a letter to Prince Hassan, long letter, before he died. And it's posted on the internet. And in this letter, he said, "I know you will understand with your selfless behavior why I had to do this." He said, "But don't worry, the world will soon be yours." They didn't give him the honor of the kingdom, but he will come peaceably by flatteries. 1999 was when he did not receive the honor of the kingdom of Jordan. From that point is when he began to be the president of the Club of Rome. He began preaching his message throughout Europe. This guy's given speeches to NATO, you guys. But they didn't give him the honor of the kingdom. And he's since then he has worked diligently, what, for peace. It is said, and I can prove this, that he is behind the Oslo Accords, which is the first peace agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinian Authority. It is also a proven fact that he was the key player in the first peace treaty ever between Jordan and Israel in 1994. There's a picture of him with Bill Clinton. He's been in the White House. And let me say this, the Oslo Accords, during the Oslo Accords in 1993, the Prime Minister of Israel was there, the king, King Hussein of Jordan, the one that was dying of cancer,
Prince Hassan was there, Bill Clinton's there. During those meetings was the first time it was ever suggested that Israel be allowed to share the Temple Mount and put a temple up there beside the Dome of the Rock. Who do you think whispered that in Bill Clinton's ear? The only man that could allow it to happen. You know what I'm saying? They didn't give him the honor of the kingdom, so he goes to work for peace and flattery. Eerie, isn't it? Y'all feeling as eerie as I am? I know some of you are just you're going to struggle with this, but it's okay. Let's Let's look down. Another clue here that's interesting. Daniel chapter 11, going down to Mhm. Verse 41. This is interesting. This is when the Antichrist, after the midpoint, goes on his military rampage to make people follow him. Okay? And this is what it says right here, verse 41. He shall enter also into the glorious land. That's the land of Israel. He will enter into the glorious land and many countries, listen, to many countries shall be overthrown by him. But these shall escape out of his hand. Even Edom, Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. And he shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries and the land of Egypt shall not escape. But he shall have the power of the treasures of gold and silver and over all the precious things of Egypt, Libya, and Ethiopia shall be at his steps. Y'all need to listen to me close here. He goes on his military rampage. Many countries are overthrown. He takes over Egypt, Libya, and which includes Sudan. He takes over Libya and Egypt. What's happening in Libya and Egypt right now? How many of you know I saw a BBC interview on YouTube when they were asking Prince Hassan what he thought about what was going on in Egypt and the new president of Egypt. He said, "I know him." I believe this man is working behind the scenes in all of this upheaval in there. But listen, it says he goes on this rampage and it overthrows every country. And when he goes into Jerusalem to take Jerusalem and take the temple, it says many countries will be overthrown. Egypt, Libya, all these countries around there. He said, "But these shall escape out of his hand." He won't touch Edom, Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. Do you know what that country that is? Jordan. HE WON'T TOUCH JORDAN.
WHY? It's his homeland. Many Bible prophecy teachers said they never understood this, why Jordan would escape, until now. He won't touch Jordan. So, I could go Let me tell you, I could go on and on the the stuff is overwhelming about this guy. Overwhelming. Now, let me say this. What if this is not the guy? It's okay. But I want you to know, regardless of whether he is the Antichrist or not, to me he's the number one candidate. And I think soon what you're going to see on the world scene is what this is what's going to happen. Things are building up now to a war in the Middle East. We're going to have one. The Book of Isaiah chapter 17 says that Damascus, Syria, will be destroyed and made into a ruinous heap in one day, one evening. And it says this will be done by the children of Israel. Damascus, Syria, has never been destroyed in the history of the world. It's going to be destroyed. I believe there's going to be a war, and I believe it's the Gog Magog war of Ezekiel 38:39. When that war happens, Israel will have no choice cuz they will be attacked by Iran, they'll be attacked by Lebanon, they'll be attacked by Syria, they'll be attacked on every side. They will have no choice but to use nuclear weapons. One of the reasons we know that they'll use nuclear weapons is Zechariah 14 makes it clear that God will when those nations come against Israel, and it it specifically names Persia and these other nations around them. It says that when they come, God will send a fire upon them. And it says literally what will happen is their tongue will consume in their mouth and their eyeballs in their eye sockets. When Israel gets attacked, they will nuke. They will use nuclear weapons against Syria, possibly Iran. And it says of that army that comes against them, only 1/6 will survive. When that happens, the world will panic. The next release of nuclear weapons, the world will go berserk. Demanding peace, disarmament, and the United Nations, the New Agers, all these people are saying that out of a world tragedy or chaos is when this man will step forward. When Israel nukes, um even though that's what they're going to have to do for their survival, they will be vilified for it.
And the world, the European Union, other parts of the world will demand. They will I mean it will not be It'd be like what we did to Germany and Japan at the end of World War We will They will demand that there is peace between the Jews and the Arabs. A peace that's enforceable. Okay? That's when the peace treaty will be strengthened. And it says that as what I believe is sometime after that. Now here's what's interesting. I'm going to give you a last little tidbit. What time are we looking at? I'm doing pretty good, huh? Here's the last little tidbit I'll give you. Another reason I think we're very close to this war coming is because in 2014 and 2015. The Jewish calendar year, which runs September to September is because they go by the lunar calendar. The Jewish calendar, their New Year starts in September around, you know, Rosh Hashanah, New Year, right? Well, and and this is what I'm about to tell you is confirmed by NASA. Okay? God said in in Acts chapter 2 and throughout the Bible, "Before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give off its light." It specifically says lunar eclipse, there's something significant about lunar eclipses and solar eclipses. And following that, Acts chapter 2, Joel 2 says there will be blood and fire and pillars of smoke. Sound familiar? What's a What bomb makes a pillar? He said there will be blood and what What fire What's first though? The sun will be darkened and the moon will not give I mean the moon will The sun will not give off its light, the moon will be turned to blood. Blood moon has always been a a term for a lunar eclipse for the Jewish people forever. Okay? They call it a blood moon. Sometimes it looks like um um it looks kind of red when that happens, right? Well, the Jewish calendar year from 2014 to 2015, there's going to be four lunar eclipses that year. Four lunar eclipses in the Jewish calendar year from September 2014 to September 2015. Four of them in one year. What makes them even more There's rarely ever four in one year. What makes this even more significant is that all four fall on Jewish feast days. All four of them. Also in the same calendar year, there's two solar eclipses.
Okay? The Jewish rabbis always say this, that when there's a lunar eclipse, that is a bad sign for Israel. When it's a solar eclipse, it's a bad sign for the world. Now, let me show you this right here. The four lunar eclipses on Jewish feast days have only happened three other times in and history that we know of, that we can calculate back. You want me to tell you when they were? The Jewish calendar year 1967, September 1967 to 19 68. What happened that year? Six-Day War. Israel took back Jerusalem, exactly. The time before that it happened in 1949 to 1950. Israel became a nation again in 1948. Got on their feet. Four lunar eclipses on Jewish feast days, and they were attacked by the Arab nations around them. And they stood and won that war, and their nation was established. Let me tell you another time. To find another one, you got to go all the way back to 1492 and 93. That was the year that the Jews were expelled from Spain. And we know what happened. Christopher Columbus sailed. Right? 2014 to 2015 is a very significant Jewish year. And I'm just going to say this. I've never one to put dates. No one knows the day of the hour of the rapture. You'll never hear me say that. But, we will know the season that we're moving into. And I believe when it says the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give off Jesus said, Luke 21, there will be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars. When you see that, we also got another one coming up, the whole planetary alignment. In 2012, I believe we're going to see some things start beginning to happen after that. And I believe, matter of fact, and I'm just going to say this. I believe the Lord told me this morning while I was praying that we're going to see another major earthquake in the Pacific Ocean that will affect the West Coast of the United States. Sometime following that will be the the economic collapse of the United States. And then I think we enter into it. Um but I don't know if 2014-2015 is that's just say, you know, he said before the great and terrible day. I don't know how long before. I mean, it could be that happens. We may have a year, two, three, five, 10. I don't I'm
not trying to say I know exactly how this is going to play out. But, we are close to the final judgments on mankind, to world government, the rise of the Antichrist, the collapse of the world currency, the dollar. All of this is going to happen, I believe, within the next 10-15 years. It'll all be happening. May all be over with. So, what do we do? See, this is not just a message about oh, it's the end and get all worked up. Right? It's not what this is about. Jesus said, "When you see these things." Luke 21, "When you see these things, look up. Your redemption draws near." Jesus said in in John 14, "I tell you these things before they happen, so when they happen, you may believe." Listen, our faith, the deceptions of the Antichrist, the false prophets, the false miracles that are going to happen. I believe even an alien deception is coming to make people anything the devil's going to do to make people believe that Jesus Christ is not the only way to heaven. But, here's what we got to do, folks. First thing, if ever in our life if there's anything in our lives that's not right with God, if there's any sin, habitual sin, or besetting sin, or secret sin, or problem that's going on over there that you've tolerated, compromised, whatever. You know, some for some people it's pornography, for some people it's it's fornication or adultery, for some people it's it's money and it's chasing after things, and for some people it's just unbelief. They've just they used to believe, but they chosen not to believe anymore because either they got hurt or discouraged or they heard some lie and believed it. Whatever it is, there is no sin worth keeping you away from Jesus Christ and being ready to go to heaven. So, I I first say, it's time to repent. And repent means you confess your sins to God and you quit doing them. You turn away from them and you start living a holy, godly, obedient, Christian life because Jesus said in in 1 John 3, "He that has this hope in him about the second coming will purify himself even as he is pure." So, that means if you really believe Jesus is coming and all of these terrible things are going to happen, you better make yourself ready. And proof there's proof that your heart's not right is if you don't hear these kind of things and some fear and some trembling and some reverence of God didn't come in you, something's wrong. It's time to clean up. He's coming for a bride without spot or wrinkle. He's not coming for someone that's indulging in their sexual lust. He's not coming for people drinking and getting drunk and partying. He's not coming for
people People are not They just don't get it. They're not entering into heaven living like the devil. And listen, in the days ahead, trust me, the Antichrist is not going to be able to kill everyone because there're going to be some people left to rapture. My point here is listen, some people You're going to have to be walking with God to be protected in these days. When the economy collapses for God to provide It's not time to be on the fence or to be lukewarm. If there's ever been a time to be right with God, it's now. Now, let me say something else. There are people out there that say that you're wasting your time talking about end times. Just be right. While most of them live a lukewarm compromised life. Well, let me tell you something. You may If you're living right with God and you're close to God and you know Jesus and you hear his voice and Listen, let me tell you one these things are important. These signs and I course I didn't cover even a fraction of the end time things that are coming to pass. But, these things prove that the Bible is true. It is the inspired word of God. And we we can learn these things and take these things and show people, "Here's what it says right here. And here's where it's happening in the world. You need to believe the Bible and the gospel of Jesus and repent and give your heart to God." Use these things. Man, we have an awesome opportunity to use these things in the workplace, witnessing to people, leading other people to Jesus. So, here's the point. Get yourself right with God. If it's not. And then use these things as witnessing tools to lead people to the Bible and to the truth. Amen. We need to be busy about our Father's business. And and let me just say this. Anyone I mean, there are people out there that are skeptical. You know, the internet has been good for some good information, but it's also passed on a lot of bad information. But there's nothing like Folks, there's nothing like Bible prophecy. Hundreds and hundreds of Bible prophecies about Jesus coming the first time, about him coming the second time, told thousands of years and hundreds of years before they happen. Do you know this? No other religious book can claim that. Not the Quran, not the Hindu Vedas, not the writings of of of Buddhism. Nothing. Nothing compares to this book. You know, that's why God said in his word, "The fool has said in his heart, there is no God." Or I don't believe that. God has given us proof upon proof upon
proof, archaeological and prophetic fulfillment. Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who died on that cross and rose from the dead, is the promised only Messiah of the world. And the Bible clearly says, "If you don't know the son, if you don't follow him, if you don't accept him, you will be lost forever in hell. There are no exceptions except for children who have not reached the age of accountability. That's it. The antichrist spirit is pressuring the world now to accept all religions as a way to God. Please don't believe these lies. Once you get to know Jesus intimately and you and you get in the Bible a little bit you'll see nothing compares. Nothing. Listen guys, this is not something and you know, I work with Kevin. And this is not I've shared this before but this is not something that I just talk about in church when I preach. Kevin, do I talk about this on the job? All the time I'm talking people about Jesus, about Jesus coming, about the signs that are happening, about them getting right with God in their lives. We got to do it. Amen.
