End Times and The Coming World Ruler Pt. 3

In this continuation of our deep dive into the biblical understanding of the antichrist, we move beyond identification into application—equipping believers to live with clarity, discernment, and unwavering faith in the midst of increasing global complexity.

This message emphasizes that knowledge alone is not enough—discernment must be paired with obedience. As believers deepen their understanding of Scripture and cultivate intimacy with God, they become less vulnerable to deception and more effective in standing firm in truth.

The call is clear: stay rooted, stay watchful, and stay ready. In an age where truth is increasingly challenged, the Church must not waver. Instead, we are called to be a people who know the Word, walk in the Spirit, and reflect the light of Christ with boldness and clarity.

🔥 Welcome to Houston International Revival Church (H.I.R.C.)!
We are a Spirit-led, Kingdom-driven church equipping believers to walk in truth, power, and the authority of Jesus Christ to impact every sphere of life. 🌍🔥

And now there are all kinds of you know things going on. Did I show you with you guys about the strip club? No. So one man was my Uber driver told me that he was taking a group of guys. I said you I said that on Sunday. Oh yeah, I told you that last Sunday, yeah. And then we have uh now there's just recently someone told me that they just have their that their new pastor is a lesbian woman or something like that, and you know, so all of this what people call it's called uh deconstruction, is where there's uh things in the church where they're re they're rereading the Bible and re-challenging the scriptures. And we talked about that. I read you from you guys an excerpt from the book by John McMillan on spiritual authority, where he discussed that because the authority of the word of God is challenged, he said that it will give space for uh demonic entities to begin to flood into the country because when they challenge the word of God, they challenge the very spirit that wrote God's word. So I posted this. Let me be clear as a person and as a church, we still believe the Bible is true. What's clear is clear in scripture, and not open for reinterpretation to fit anyone's lifestyle. Sin is sin, homosexuality is an abomination, adultery and fornication are sin. Asher hasn't heard enough sermons on that, so um, you know, drug use is the practice of sorcery, and God has called us to live soberly. Abortion is murder, and I've done all of them, I mean most, not all. So I put that in my post, just to be clear, you know. God has provided forgiveness through repentance and faith in the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. No one is perfect or better than, but some people are definitely more demonized than others, based upon the open doors that have been open. God loves everyone from all walks of life and expects us to repent and to live in freedom from sin by his grace. All are welcome to the foot of the cross. No one is perfect, yes, but also expected to be perfected, meaning the first truth does not mean we do whatever and still think we're walking with God. Romans 8:1 and 2 says there is no condemnation, but that's only for the other half of the verse, which says, for those following Christ. In other words, you will have hiccups, hang-ups, ups and downs in life, but if you keep following Christ, he will perfect that which concerns you. Christianity is not have belief in Jesus like an icon on your shelf and live like the unredeemed. What Christianity is the only way for humanity that has been plagued by our evil heart to have a second, third, fourth, so on chance to start with a clean slate every time we humble ourselves to God through his son Jesus Christ. Amen. So we have to you know be clear that the we still believe the Bible is what the Bible is, and the Bible is at the same time balanced with the truth that I wrote in there, that the Bible is not there to condemn, but to convince that we need Christ, you know, amen. If you think everything's okay with God, then you don't need to be convinced that you need salvation and grace, you know, because everything is okay. So that is a very important post, I believe, that we need to sometimes restate what we believe, especially the church, because otherwise you'll you'll you'll start having uh you know lesbian pastors and the church brothers, brothers in the Lord will go to the strip club after service, and and and then some people will go to the weed store and the dispensary and get their marijuana and be like, praise God, you know. So we have to be clear on you know what God says, amen, and what what we still believe. We still believe the Bible, amen. Amen. So let's take a look in our our our Bibles, and we're gonna get we're still talking about the coming world ruler. I think it's interesting that uh we're just everything is lining up, everything's lining up uh around the world. The technology, uh the drug laws, sorcery is becoming more and more legalized day by day from the White House, uh, drug use and and different things. And one of the tricks of the marijuana, there are let's take, for example, antibiotics. Antibiotics are good if you need an antibiotic, okay? But you cannot just go to the store and buy antibiotics. Why? Because the misuse of antibiotics when you're not sick will create a bigger problem in society. What bigger problem will that create? Viruses, when you take too many antibiotics, viruses will adapt to the antibiotics and they'll grow resistant to antibiotics. That's why you have to have a prescription, and that's why you're supposed to take your full prescription, because if you take half of it, you might not kill it all out, and then the virus gets strong, it adapts, and then it comes resistant to the antibiotic. So you have to take the full measure, and you can't just take it every time you feel sick, because there's a big problem in China. Every time someone feels they have a back pain, they run and they get antibiotics, and so it's causes these superviruses in China. So, yes, antibiotics are good in its space, and it's legal to be used as prescribed for a limited time by a doctor. So that is a perfect example of uh pharmaceuticals that could be used for a time and a purpose and have a benefit, but also will become a curse if just could be randomly used when you want to use it. Make sense? So, in the same way, we had the marijuana laws were passed in America, they were passed for medicinal purposes to treat certain conditions for certain people with a certain dosage and a certain time frame to address a certain issue, a physical issue. But that was that was just the excuse used by lobbyists and powerful groups in America in order to make it available everywhere as often as possible and as you will. So while marijuana in certain forms could have some medicinal use, just like antibiotics, what happens is now in many places all across America, people can just go and buy it with no medical card, with no prescription, with no reason, but it's legal there because of medicinal use. Does that make sense? So it's legal because of medicinal use, but then they could buy it without a prescription. And then there's other states where you have to have a prescription, which you could get from the local on-site doctor who works at a dispensary for ten dollars. For ten dollars, he writes the prescription, and then you can buy the marijuana, and you can use it and just use it to party, you know, use it to get high. So it came in though as the use of medical use, right? So we are seeing now from the you know from the from the highest office of the land the legalization of hallucinogenics, pharmaceuticals, I mean uh marijuana's drugs and and hallucinogenics and all kinds of things for special treatments, they say, but we've seen in practice that it is just that that's just the gateway. And it's not just abused by a few people, but it's abused by you know almost in every city and state in America, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the marijuana shops. There's so much competition in Tulsa. There's marijuana, there's they said there's more marijuana churches in Oklahoma than there are churches, more marijuana shops than there are churches in Oklahoma. And when you drive through, we lived there for two two years. All over the city, people are walking around like zombies. All over the city, people are walking around like zombies, all high. It's it's it's terrible. That's why we left. It's a it's a doped-up city on marijuana. Amen. So we are seeing all these things come to pass in the last day. The Bible talks about there being sorcery, which is pharmaceuticals, drug addiction, mass drug addiction, uh, technology such as AI, and we're gonna look at a little bit maybe today or over the next few weeks, how the three, the unholy trinity, the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet, how there is AI technology that has now enabled these verses to come to pass. So we're going to look at that sometime here in the next few weeks. And it's interesting because the Bible says, and we'll look at it, that the antichrist, who is called the beast, he will create an image of himself and will give life to it, and it will walk, and it will talk, and it will make decrees, it will give or make laws, it will give orders to kill people, and that it could speak, it could breathe, it can function uh as a human being, this man-made device. And now we see when you go to the Chinese buffet, a robot will come up and deliver food to your table. It's said that with by 2030, most Americans will have a robot that can walk, talk, give orders, you know, just just like a human being. And they're they're they're already been making robots, you know, in different, you know, different countries, not just here. They're already making robots that look like humans, that their skin and their face and their hair touch, looks like humans, talks like humans, walks like humans. Quite amazing. They have some of these uh beautiful uh robot women in Japan and in China that they made. Beautiful women that could walk and talk, you touch their skin, they feel like a woman, and they're they're AI-operated robots. And they say by 2030, most Americans will have a robot in their house helping them with dishes and cooking and cleaning and so on. Now, I'm not necessarily concerned about having someone to help me wash the dishes, but we're seeing this is exactly lining up with the Antichrist, the beast will create something in his image that will have life and will be very powerful. The Bible talks about it having all knowledge and doing very horrible things. Isn't that interesting? So we're gonna look we're in we're in this time where all these things are happening, but like Cecil was saying, uh during prayer, there was a fog that is coming into society with great deception, and people will be deceived. The Bible says that that the that people on earth will be deceived by this beast, and the beasts will have what's called the false prophet, which is the religious leader that will give religious Bible verses and doctrine to justify following the beast and to justify its actions, and people will be deceived. This is why I'm teaching on this subject and preaching the subject, so you would not be deceived. And God willing, you can retain, remember enough to be able to communicate it with your loved ones, friends, and family so that they would not be deceived. So when they come home saying, Hey, guess what? I got I want to get my microchip in my right hand, and I'm ready to get chipped up and I'm ready to become a bio, you know, whatever. You can say, Wait a minute, slow down. Let me tell you what the Bible warned about this, and you you'd be able to warn them as well, amen. And then I pray that you would also not be deceived, my kids, in the future, amen. So we are on the topic of the coming world leader. My PowerPoint person left, so I don't know who'll be keeping up with the slides. Amen. But we ended up last week talking about uh getting into the location of where the Antichrist will be from. So let's move up a slide and let's move up. Uh okay. We're so we got we we started off in the origin section. So we're gonna go over three points. One is where does he come from? Second is how much power does he have, and then who are the three figures? What is the unholy trinity? And so we st we we opened that up last week with the first portion. Where does he come from? Let's move forward, and we covered the geographic anchor, which is Mount Hermon. Can you say Mount Hermon? Mount Hermon is what was called at the base of Mount Hermon. There's a cave there where uh this Pan was there, this this deity called Pan and the nymphos that were his his uh sexual deviant uh women that served Pan's uh great masculine high testosterone uh pheromones desires, and the it they were from this area, this particular cave, or this grotto actually, and it was called the grotto of Pan. I talked about this last week, amen. And the grotto of Pan is what the ancients called the gates of Hades, and we looked at last week how Jesus took his disciples when he was going to reveal that he is the conquering king, come from heaven to destroy the works of darkness. He took them to the entrance of the doorway to the kingdom of hell, and he announced there that he is the Christ. Amen. That's where he announced it, right at the center of Baal worship, he announced that he is the Christ. But from that age, from the beginning of time till now, the humanity has been dealing with the demonic entities and the people of the elite parts of society that worship Baal. And I revealed to you guys last week that the global pedophile and child sacrifice ring that has been in operation since before our WikiLeaks and our uh unredacted files, this has been around for thousands of years. And the people that we see on the news, uh, well, actually, that are covered up in the news, we should say, because they've been you know redacted from all the documents. But recently, uh Pam Bondi they asked her, will there be more documents coming out? She said, No, there are no more documents, which I don't believe. She says there are no more documents. All that's left is a several terabytes of videos of child rape, porn, and murder, and we're not gonna release that. She said, We're not gonna let people see that, obviously. I mean, nobody wants to see that, you know. Which is it's horrible, right? You know, so there's several reasons you guys could are educated enough to understand why nobody wants to see that. And then there are people who want to see that, and we don't want the people who want to see it to see it either, right? But we would like to know who those people are in those videos and in those photos, and more than know who they are, we like to see them put in jail, and we like to see them, you know, getting executed because that's what needs to happen to these people. But they've been doing this for thousands of years, it's not just our current government leaders and not just the European government leaders and the American government leaders, but this has been happening for thousands of years, and the tip of the sphere was uh for this generation was a Baal worshipper, Jeffrey Epstein. He was not the puppet master, he was he was the puppet. But his bank account, where he brought in the billions of dollars from blackmail, was at Wells Fargo, the bank account's name was Baal, because this was worship to Baal. This is the same worship of Baal from the Pan of Grato, which is at Mount Hermon. Let's get a little bit more into Mount Hermon uh today, amen. Let's look at the next slide. Let's look at Genesis chapter six, verse one through four. And I mentioned this last week. Today we'll look at it. Genesis chapter six, verses one through four. I was watching a very, very interesting, very good, credible former CIA agent last night. And um they were questioning on some of the UFO stuff, and he said, He said that they they asked him when you joined the CIA, did you ask him about you know to take you to the UFO sites and tell you, open up the UFO file, show you that? And he laughed. He said, actually, that's the first thing I asked. He said, When I was having uh lunch with my superior, uh just joining the CIA, the first thing I asked him is, show me the UFO sites. I want to hear about the UFOs. And then his superior laughed and he said, That's what everyone says on their first day. That's the first question they ask, you know. He said, and unfortunately, you know, there was nothing in my entire career about UFOs or anything like that. He said, However, the reason he asked that question is because when he was 11 years old, him and his father were driving to someplace uh at night in uh Pennsylvania, and he said, they were on the highway, and this giant uh orange-lit saucer came down in the field near where their car was, and it was so the light was so bright they could barely see. They stopped the car and they pulled over, and then the the other cars in the highway, they all stopped, they all pulled over and they all got out and were watching this thing, and it stood. There and then it just went straight up in a way that defied all the laws of physics. And he said, Is he said, Dad, should we call the police? He says, Son, if we call the police, they're gonna think we're nuts, they're gonna put us in a mental hospital. He said, Let's just not say anything. So when they continued on to their destination, they went to their family member's house, and one of their uh relatives was a fighter pilot in the air force, and they shared with the family there what they saw. And the fighter pilot said, This was and this was in 1981. This is in 81, this is before there was any drone technology in the world. 81. And the fighter pilot said, you know what, we have a lot of reports of these. He said, I've seen things like that, and everyone in the air force that flies, we've all seen things like this, and we don't know what they are. And it's interesting that more and more of these things are coming out, and if we don't uh have the the the source behind this in the origin stories, we will possibly be led to believe the narrative that comes from them and with them. Now, if we look it a little bit into what is being said, we understand the agenda. And so I did a study several years ago and I taught about it, it's on my YouTube, and I taught about some of the things that major occultists like Alistair Crowley, Shirley McLean, and some of the other people. Shirley McLean, if you don't know, she was a famous person, uh, a celebrity who was also a psychic, uh, like Dion Woolwick, right? She was a psychic and a spirit channeler. And it was this uh uh Alistair Crowley, this major occultist, who first channeled these entities that were named the Grays. And this entity that he channeled was this uh gray-looking, bald, uh big head thing with slanted eyes, not Chinese. And this was what was entitled the the Grays. They called them the Grays, and the Grays was his spirit guide, and it was from his encounters with the Grays that they were told that they are from another planet, they're from Pallades, and that they terraformed, seed formed the earth, they planted our civilization, and they're going to come back to save our civilization, who is on the brink of nuclear destruction and war. We'll all kill ourselves off if they don't come to intervene. This is what they they taught. As a result, his friend Jack Parsons, who was an occultist, formed what's now called NASA, and NASA was formed in order to go into space and to communicate and to uh connect with these grays who are gonna come down to save the earth. Now, it's interesting that Shirley McLean and the other spirit guides said that the earth was going to be destroyed through religious war due to the religious people, and the religious people are destroying planet Earth. That's why it's considered hate speech in Canada now to say marriage should be between a man and a woman, the homosexuality is a sin, that transgenderism is not natural. That's now against the law to say, because it's those troublemaking Christians that need to be stopped. So this spirit guide, this gray, this alien, said that they would have to come first to take away the troublemakers, and once they take them away, the earth can live in peace and harmony, and they can live in freedom without shame and guilt of fulfilling their appetites, and they'll have this new world order. This is what the spirits have told countless of occultist channelers, including the father, their modern-day patriarch, Alistair Crowley and Shirley McLean, and and many, and many people that have been abducted by these entities since then. So Hollywood uh portrayed aliens starting in the 1940s and 50s. They started portraying aliens based upon Aleister Crowley's drawings. And then throughout the last you know, 60, 70 years, many people have had encounters and abductions from these entities, and have described the entities as looking like the grays, which is one race, one one race of this uh otherworldly extraterrestrial being. Uh, and then others have said reptilian, these reptilian uh uh entities that many have reported to seeing on earth to counter the earth, including Pastor Tony Carpenter, one of our pastor friends. He was in a Bible study in Tampa Bay, uh, where are our home church? He's one of the leaders there. He was the lead pastor there, and he started his own church in Baltimore. He's uh a great guy, honest guy, young guy. And he was doing a Bible study for the Tampa River, Tampa Bay Church in Tampa. And he was talking to this guy, and this guy was all into uh aliens, UFOs, and and he was interrupting the Bible study, and so he stopped him. He said, Listen, can I talk to you? And he took him outside of the house where they were having Bible study. He said, Listen, I need you to back up all this stuff you're disrupting the Bible study, and he said, instantly the man metamorphed, he shape shifted into uh uh like a lizard, like a just a demonic reptilian lizard in front of him. And he said, and this power hit him when he sh when he shifted, and he said he flew back and and and fell on the floor and was knocked on conscience. He doesn't know for how long it was, it might have just been a few moments, but when he woke back up and it came up, the guy uh the guy was standing there and he shifted back into a person, and the guy would just say, You know what, screw you, F you, and he walked away. It's interesting if you study these appearances and these encounters and the abductions. Do you know there's one thing that they all have in common? One thing that all of these abductions and encounters have in common is that everyone that was abducted and communicated to with an alien, they were all in the occult. Every one of them. They were not born-again Christians and ministers, they were people who were dabbling in UFO science, horoscopes, uh, witchcraft, uh, palm reading. They were all involved in the occult, which signifies to me something that's very alarming, which says to me that these entities are demonic, and they were only able to come to people and manifest themselves to people who were involved and interested and curious. Matter of fact, there is a law in the occult. You guys probably you you some of you don't remember, but Cecile, you'd remember. You remember the old vampire movies? My favorite was The Lost Boys with Corey Haim and Cory Fieldman, The Lost Boys. And the thing is, the vampire, he couldn't go into their house unless he was invited in. So the master vampire, and one of these movies called The Lost Boys, maybe we'll watch it sometime with the kids. Uh, you know, but he comes to he lives at this nice, gentle guy with glasses, nerdy guy with glasses, and he comes to the house, he said, Hey, you know, uh, you know, I'd like to speak with your sons. And then I think the father was gonna let him in, and the brother, the older brother, ran up because the older brother knew what was going on. He said, No, you can't come in. He said, No, just be a sec for a second. I just want to I just want to come in and sit and just talk to you for a minute about your about your youngest boy. And he was trying to get welcome. If they allowed his foot to to go into the threshold, then they had access to come into their life. And I thought, well, at that time I didn't understand spiritual things, but that's exactly how it is in the spiritual realm. And this is what actually the occult teaches. The occult teaches that you have to grant access to them for them to come into your life. This is why there's something called silent consent. Silent consent is the occult is not allowed to do anything in the world, in this country, in society, unless they first announce it. This is their rule, this is their law. That's why they have to do it openly. And then once they do it openly and you watch it and you invite it, and you're welcome by it, and you you you enjoy it, now they can do that in society. So, what they'll do is they'll put occultist stuff uh openly in music videos and concerts and performance shows and in movies, and then you'll see it actually happens. That's why you see a lot of movies. You see, like, oh I saw a movie about that, now this has happened. I saw a movie about this, now that's happened. It's because they had to prepare in order to execute it, they had to first get silent consent. They had to let the American public watch it, be entertained by it, thereby opening the door to it. That's why us Christians that understand these things, we've talked about for years. Open doors. Don't open doors. Be careful what you hear, be careful what you watch, because you could be opening a door. So we've understood that, but you got to understand is that those that are demonic, they've understood they understand that too. And so they actually are intentionally and intelligently presenting it through entertainment, through comedy, pedophilia, sex trafficking, uh, spoofs to make jokes of these things as entertainment, so people would watch it and laugh, but now they can do it because they just announced it to you. Does that make sense? This is an occult rule. This is you could find these in the writings of the book of magic and all the different writings that they go by. Okay, so let's take a look here at Genesis 6, 1 through 4, because these are ancient wheels that are in motion, it's not new to our generation. Let's look at chapter 6, verse 1, 2, 3, and 4. So it came to pass that when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were very fair. And the men say, Amen. Amen. Amen. And they took them wives of all which they chose. And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he is also flesh, yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years. So our lifespan was limited at that time. There were giants in the earth in those days, and also after that, say, also after that, meaning that they were not all destroyed. These giants were given birth to through the crossbreeding of these heavenly beings. We could call them, uh, you know, you don't want to call them angels because the Bible says, Do you know what the word does anybody know what an angel is? We have to have the right understanding. If we don't have the right understanding, we arrive at the wrong destination. Okay, angel means a heralder, a messenger. Just because a creature that is on God's side that comes from another dimension, just because you see or encounter them, or they come to the earth or they do something, does not mean that they are an angel. I'm not saying they're a fallen angel, they could be on God's side, but an angel is a messenger or a heralder, someone that comes to declare. Gabriel was an angel, he would come to declare, and we're gonna look at some of Gabriel's uh prophecies and declarations that he came in the book of Daniel. But you have to understand there are different species of beings. These particular beings, when we see the sons of God, is Bene Elohim. These were creations of God. We understand that when Lucifer fell, some of God's creation, a third of them, fell with Lucifer and followed him. Okay, so we see here in verse six that they took women and had children, they had hybrids. Say hybrids. Let's now look at Jude 1, 6, and let's see what happened to these hybrids, these hybrids. Jude, which is the last right before Revelation, and there's only one chapter, amen. Jude 6. Jude 6 says this the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness until the judgment of the great day. The ancient account that Jude references, Jude is quoting inspired material. You see him quote from Enoch, you see Jesus quote from the book of Enoch, but they name Mount Hermon as a specific location where this Bena Elohim, these creations of God, descended. The other places in ancient texts call them watchers. Could you say watchers? Watchers is an important term. We're going to come into that term in our studies. But these watches were come down to teach the human race. They were to teach the human race science, uh, they were to teach the human race technology, they were to teach the human race uh, you know, all different types of advanced things, construction, uh, architecture, all different types of things, which they did do. That's how the earliest people on earth has such incredible abilities and technology to build and to do all kinds of things because it would come from the angels. Would you know? Did you know it's interesting? I saw a quote this week that Elon Musk said all a lot of the technologies that he is developing now and has developed, he said they didn't come to him by slowly developing. He said they came to him all at once, the entire blueprint. Do you know? This is a fact, that many guys in the tech world they practice the use of taking ayahuasca and other hallucinogenics to tap into technology in inventions. They're receiving just like the early people did, communication from the angelic realm to create technologies, to bring technologies into the earth. I like what Pastor Marla Reed he talked about, this voice activation. We have voice activation now. He said, but Jesus taught on the laws of voice activation years ago. He said, Whosoever shall say to this mountain and you know, be removed and be cast to the sea, and do not doubt in your heart. Jesus taught us how to how to operate in voice technology. Science in the last 20 years has caught up to the operations of that voice technology. And so now science is catching up with the operation of voice technology, and they've created Siri and Alexa, and they created all of these different uh uh avenues where we can say, lights off, lock the door, turn off the TV, turn off the TV, and we could begin to act through voice technology. We see Adam and Eve operated through voice technology. The Bible says Adam and Eve they ruled the world through voice technology, whatever they said happened, whatever they named the creatures they became. So this is a technology that science is catching up to. Do you understand? They already have, through technology, discovered how to port a solid mass from one side of the room to the other side of the room, which seemingly defies the laws of physics. But that's the same thing that angels do, that's the same thing that that Philip did. That's the same thing that that that that you know Jesus did, he walked through the wall. So they are getting technologies from the angelic realm or from the the other dimension, and they're catching up with that. Because I believe that when God does a miracle, that it's not it's not breaking the laws of physics, but when he does a miracle, he has it, he's doing it through the laws that he created, and he is showing the shortcuts between the laws of physics that he created. Does that make sense? Just like when you take one thing, science have been doing this for years now. When they when they they they they beam one thing from one side of the room to the other side of the room, they're not breaking the laws of physics, they're learning how to operate through them, yeah. Right? Make sense. So now the Bible says that these Nephilim came and corrupted the human race through genetic breeding, through breeding. Why does this matter? Because the same mountain that is ground zero for the first intrusion into humanity is the same zone where the antichrist will come from. So the enemy will come back to where we started, where the ancients actually called it the gates of hell. Say gates of hell. So now let's go to where Dan, we're go to the book of Daniel, chapter 8, and let's watch the funnel begin to narrow. Daniel chapter 8, verses 8 and 9. Let's look there in our Bibles. Do we have it on here? Yeah, we have it. We have it on here, we have it on the screen as well. Okay, Daniel 8, 9. It's a prophecy. If you go down to verse 20, you see the angel Gabriel tells him what the meaning of the prophecy is. But it says here in the prophecy, out of one of them speaking about so in Daniel chapter 8, you're gonna see this vision that's given Daniel of this beast that comes out with four horns. And then a ram comes and attacks that beast from the west, and he conquers the eastern governments, and then he the this this this particular ram that conquers the eastern governments is split into four kingdoms, and we're seeing this here in verse 8 and verse 9. It says, Out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the glorious land. So we see these four lands right here on the PowerPoint. Each general, this was the fulfillment in verse 20. The angel tells him that this is from this is from Alexander the Great, and this is from the Greek Empire. He died at a 32 years old, and his kingdom was divided between his four sons into four sections. First is the Silix, the Silicude Empire, which is Syria, Lebanon, North Israel, which is where we get where the Pan of Grato is, where Mount Hermon is, and Mesopotamia. The other was the Persian and Bactria area. That was the other kingdom from the other son. The other son was given Macedonia and Greece, which is where they came from. They were they were Greek, and then the other son was given the I don't know how you say PT, oh Ptolemaic Empire, which was Egypt and Libya. Okay, you say pole Ptolemaic. Okay, you've no don't pronounce the P. Amen. All right, thank you. So they were split into four empires. The little horn in Daniel 8 rises from the Seleucid Kid North. That's the the Syria, Lebanon, Mount Hermon corridor. Amen. Go to the next slide. So we see that he comes from that corridor. Another thing that's interesting, and let me just explain that one out of the four divisions, Daniel doesn't leave us guessing which of the four. He doesn't leave you guessing which of the four. History shows. Us near fulfillment that and we see this in one of the leaders that came by uh his name was Antiochus IV of Epiphanes, that he came from the northern Silicude Division, a territory that is modern-day Syria, Lebanon, uh, right north of Israel, or actually northern Israel, which sits at the foot of Mount Hermon. So we see this pointed out specifically which of the four divisions. The Bible's own historical type points to this geography. The Antichrist origin in Daniel 8 is the same zone where Jesus came and said the gates of hell won't prevail against the revelation that I am the Christ. So we see the funnel beginning to narrow. Nextly, when you start to look at the other prophets, they begin to name him by a title that most prophecies teachers often skip over. And the title is the Assyrian. I covered this a little bit lightly, but I want to show you the verses. Micah chapter 5, verse 6 and 7 says, When the Assyrian comes into our land, so speaking of this Antichrist figure as the Assyrian, Isaiah 10, 5 through 7 says, Woe to Assyria, the rod of my anger. It is in his heart to destroy and cut off not a few nations. And then in Isaiah 14, we see Assyria again. He says, I will break the Assyrian in my land. On my mountains, tread him underfoot. And Isaiah chapter 14, verse 25. I'd like to show this to you guys quickly. Let's go to Isaiah. This is a very good verse that you should study. I know Isaiah is not an easy read for most people. But here's one of the most fascinating chapters in Isaiah, Isaiah chapter 14. 1425 says that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him underfoot. Then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden shall depart from their shoulders. The beast is destroyed at the second coming of Christ. These passages interpret that. So when God repeats something through multiple prophets and through multiple books over multiple centuries, he's not just being redundant, but he's narrowing down the target. Let's look at Ezekiel 28, the Prince of Tyre. Ezekiel 28. The Prince of Tyre. Tyre is modern Sur, this or southern Lebanon. It's about 100 miles from the Grotto of Pan. And Ezekiel 28 2. Let's look at Ezekiel 28 2 in our Bibles. When you get there, say Amen. And uh it looks legitimate to me personally, because you see the anchor stones there. But this is something I've known for 25 years. This is now it's on Fox and CNN and ABC. It's all over the news now, but I've known this for 25 years because we have done research on this before. Amen. So it might be. If it's not, doesn't mean it doesn't mean the Bible's not true because everything else has been confirmed in the Bible archaeologically. But amen. But I I do believe that is the site of Noah's ark. I I do believe. Amen. Not a religious belief, but it just seems like the the you know the location and the stones that are there, the anchor stones to hold the boat down. You see these big anchor stones there with with you know it's just incredible if you really look at it. Amen. Ezekiel 28, 1 through 2 says this the word of the Lord came to me again, saying, Son of man, say to the prince of tirus, Thus saith the Lord God, because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am God. I sit in the seat of God in the midst of the seas, yet thou art a man and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God. Amen. Verse 11 through 15, he begins to speak to the dragon. Say, dragon. He says, Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and saying unto him, so he's speaking to a physical king, but then he tells this king, Thus saith the Lord God, Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden, the garden of God. Now was Tyrus, King Tyrus, in the beginning in the Eden? He was not. So he was not prophesying to him, but he was prophesying through him to the beast, to the dragon that was operating through this government world leader. Does that make sense? So if you compare this to Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians 2.4, you see that it says that the Antichrist sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God, and he makes the same declarations in 2 Thessalonians 2.4. Tyre, which is modern Sir in southern Lebanon, is about 100 miles from the Garden of Apen. So we see this is still the same geographic corridor. And we see this in verse 11 through 9, him calling out Tyre in that region. Ezekiel showing us a pattern that the northern Levantine human ruler, Tyrus, and powered by the same supernatural entity that was in Eden, it makes the same satanic claim to divinity that we see in Thessalonians and we see also in the book of Revelation. Now let me show you how all these threads collapse into one. We see five different threads and one target. Okay. Here's what I want you to see: there are not competing theories about who the Antichrist is, they are concentrated circles, one right after another, like Beijing. You have a fifth ring, a fourth ring, a third ring, a second ring, right to the bullseye. Amen. Actually, I think Houston is kind of has rings too, doesn't it? Right? Amen. They should just do like China, say the first ring, second ring, third ring. It's a lot easier to remember than Beltway 8, and you know, all these Sam Houston, all these names, amen. It's easier. Chinese think very logically. You know, even when you're learning to count, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. We say things like 11 and all these words. China just says 10, 1, 10, 2, 10, 3, 10, 4, 10, 5, 10, 6. That's how they say, that's how they count. And they do the same thing with the hundreds and so on. Amen. Very, very simple. Hallelujah. But let's walk through this verbally so we could count on your fingers. Put one finger up. So number one, Daniel 2 says he leads a revived form of the Mediterranean Empire. So that's very broad. That's like the fifth ring circle. Okay. Then Daniel 8, second finger, he arises from the Seleucid North, Syria, Lebanon, Mount Hermit corridor. Now that's like the fourth ring road. It's not a different place or Bible contradiction. That's it's narrowing it down. Number three, third finger. Isaiah and Micah says he carries a Syrian ethnic nationality or identity named explicitly, which brings it down even tighter to that third ring. That third ring. Fourth, Daniel 11. He plants his palace between the Mediterranean and Jerusalem, which is still the northern Levantine area. So now it's even tighter into the fourth ring. Then we get the bullseye. Say bullseye, the fifth one. Amen. Matthew 16, Genesis 6. The supernatural convergence point is Mount Hermon, the grotto of Pan. This gate to hell, the demonic empire. There are demonic forces, powerful demonic forces in this world. The demons that you guys are fighting are little. They're little angry, jealousy, hatred, unforgiveness, bitterness, you know, lust, greed. These are all the little demons we're fighting. But there are very powerful demonic forces from the gates of hell of entities that have come down that are operating in our society. I want to introduce to you the seed of the serpent today. Genesis 3.15. Let's go to Genesis 3.15. Do we have it on the screen? We don't have the full verse up there. Turn to Genesis real quick, and this will be the last verse I show you. The other ones I'll mention as we come to a close. But I want you to get this concept. And I have an African pastor friend I met at the river in Detroit that has very powerful revelation on this. Ashley, you met him, that African pastor, Nigerian. Heavy, heavy, heavy. He was saying stuff that blew all of our mind. Me, Pastor Marlon, and the other pastor, or was it Pastor Francisco? You know, Vega, pray Frankie Vega. We were sitting there like, holy smokes. This guy has some heavy stuff, this Nigerian pastor. But it was all about this hybriding and that's going on. Genesis 3:15. It says this it's a prophecy from God. He said, I will put enmity between thee and the woman. That's Satan and the woman. Okay. And between thy seed and her seed, say thy seed. We know her seed was Jesus Christ, the Messiah. He would come from Eve's womb. Right? But who is his seed? If there is the Messiah coming through a natural birth of the wood of a woman, through a divine implantation, who is Satan's seed? That's very interesting. Okay. So we see a literal offspring language, not just an influence. I talked about it last week. You study all this UFO stuff. If you even took two or three minutes to look at it, you always hear about probing, sexual probing, seed harvesting. Because the Satan, the devil, is trying to create his own Christ. He's trying to give birth to his own Christ. You understand me? 2 Thessalonians 2, 3. The word hoist is used. Hoist epolias. It means son of perdition. It's the same hoist that we receive when it says, if you believe in him, you'll be given power to become the sons of God. This hoist, son of perdition. We are the sons of God. The Antichrist in 2 Thessalonians is called the Son of Perdition. This is Semitic language that refers to paternity. That this is a paternal word, meaning that this Antichrist is the actual physical offspring of perd. Why do all the Satan worshipers always try to sacrifice a virgin? Why do they always try to breed and give birth to what they call the bride of Satan? If you know anything about the occultism, they always have this bride of Satan and little girl's groom to be the bride of Satan. My cousin Bobby had one as a girlfriend. Long story. I'll tell you some other day. You guys know the story. And the demons came in when he when he was with her, the demons came in, and they I think it was two or three demons. I have the whole video, and I could have them share it one day. But the demons looked like gargoyles, they were reptilians. They came into his room in the flesh, they beat him bloody, and he was trying to rebuke them in the name of Jesus, but he couldn't. He was saying it, but they weren't obeying him. Why? Because he granted permission to them. He was engaged with her that afternoon. He said that she had such a strong spirit of lust, he couldn't say no. And she had tattoos all over, and her parents were Satanists, and she was bred by the satanic coven to become Satan's bride. And and and and he said he couldn't resist it, but he can't resist almost anybody, anyways. But he said he couldn't resist it, you know. And that night they came into his house and they tried to murder him. They beat him bloody, they broke three of his ribs. And he said, when he was trying to uh escape, because his mother lives on the second floor, he was in the basement, so he was trying to escape their beating and thrashing, and he was running up the stairs. He said, hands were coming through the wall, invisible hands are coming to the wall, and we're grabbing at him and pulling them, pulling them back down. And he finally managed to break free from them and get to his mother's door. Bang on the door. When my my aunt and uncle came to the door, they they all fled. He couldn't rebuke it because he gave permission to them. Don't ever fornicate with a Satan worshiper, amen. Don't do that with the Satan worshiper, amen. Amen. There are levels, hallelujah. There's levels to sin. Don't do that, don't mess with that one. Amen. But why do they have these brides and these children of Satan? Because they're they're trying to give birth to the son of perdition. God says, your seed, that word seed in the Hebrew is Zerah. It literally means physical offspring. God is telling Satan from day one, you will have a physical offspring, a progeny, and it will war against mine. And that's what prophecy says in Revelation. It says the Antichrist will war against the prince. Amen. 2 Thessalonians 2:3 says, the son of perdition. Amen. Paternity. Jesus uses the same phrase for Judas in John 17 12, calling him the son of perdition, the offspring. Then Paul puts the same exact title on the Antichrist. Revelation 12, 2 says, the dragon gave him power, his throne, and his authority. The Greek word is Edoken, a complicated act of deliberate personal bestowal. This is not from you know distance or direct, you know, this is a direct transfer. Amen. So when you ask, where does the Antichrist come from? The answer is two dimensions. Geographically, that area, that region, that corridor, the Pan of Grato specifically, but supernaturally, he comes from the bestowal of Satan's throne, power, and authority. And these answers don't compete, they complete each other. Amen. What I need to get over with you guys, because all these things are happening now. Should we leave America? Should we move away from the coast? Should we, you know, uh, are we gonna have to take the beat, mark of the beast? Are we gonna be starved to death and not be able to eat or have water if we don't obey? So I want to discuss next week the geographical control regions, because not every region and not every country is gonna be under his power. And I think this can give some of you a better, a better idea and maybe a little bit of hope to not feel like you know, like well, you know. The Bible specifically warns you woe to those who are in Israel. It specifically says, don't even get pregnant to those who are in Israel because this is it's going to be overwhelming. It's gonna be worse than it's ever been before. But that's not every place on the planet. Okay, we we've we we've been kind of taught or led to believe that the whole world's gonna be in the antichrist dominion, the whole world will have to take in the mark of the beast, the whole world, but we don't actually the scripture actually says the opposite of that. So, where are we safe? Let's let's talk about that. Look at that next week, amen. Amen. Let's stand up, amen. We know there's only one that rules the whole world, and that's our Lord, our God, and our King. Amen. Amen. And the Bible says in Daniel that for a time, for a time, he will give he will be given power over the saints. For a time he will be given power over the saints, but in the end, the saints will overcome him. Hallelujah. Well, I plan to be one of those saints with a with a sledgehammer, hallelujah, to overcome him in the end, amen. Praise God, and what who will he be given power over? I I have to say, most of those who aren't really living for God, those who are half Christian, half in the club, half in the on drugs, half living with their girlfriend and their boyfriend, or whatever, you know. The enemy is gonna really be able to come in and do something with them. But like many of the saints of old, like getting the throwing the lions done, the enemy could not eat him. The three Hebrew boys thrown in the fire, the enemy could not burn them. Those who are living and walking in covenant power and authority and glory will be the revivalists, saving soul, delivering people. The Bible says the enemy will try to have them killed, and they'll go to stab them in revelations. The anti-church people will try to stab them and they will disappear and be transferred right in front of them. Amen. That's the that's the group I'm gonna be part of. I'm gonna I'm an avenger, hallelujah. I'm gonna be an avenger, hallelujah. Amen. Praise God, Heavenly Father. We thank you for the spiritual truths and the understanding and the teaching. This is not doctrines for doctrines' sake, but it's so we have a very confident, clear understanding, and we can see the formation of what's happening, Father God, in the world, what's happening in the next coming years and in the next coming months, and we can be positioned, Father God, to be the mighty avengers for Christ. The Bible says, Casting on every thought and vain imagination that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and ready to avenge every thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of Christ. We are called scripturally to be the avengers, to deal judgment to the wicked, to deal judgment, father God, to the to the demonic powers, to deal judgment to the oppressors, father God. We are gonna help them to blast them, to to cast them out, to break their powers, to undo their workings, to expose them, God, to to preach to them, to deliver them, to bring them to repentance and salvation. We are the Avengers, Father, and I pray that we will all be activated to Avenge with righteousness and by the word of God, every plan that's designed to deceive our loved ones, to distract our loved ones, to bring our neighbors into cults and deceptions. Give us a mighty flaming sword, increase the strength and the might of our sword, God. That when we come against a relative, a loved one, a neighbor, someone in our community that's totally deceived by a cult, a deception, a false teaching, that the flaming sword of Christ can come through us and through our words and break in pieces the idolatrous beliefs that they've adopted and the spirit that backs them and bring them to a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. And Father, these things we declare and we pray for and we believe in the mighty name of Jesus. Somebody say amen. Amen. Give the Lord a handclap of praise. Amen. If I was there, I would have prayed with you. I'd like to pray right now, as a matter of fact. I'd like to give my life to Jesus Christ. I would like to have God in my life, and I'd like to know Jesus as my savior and my Lord and surrender my life to him. You know, repentance means to turn away from your way of doing things and to turn to God's way. We've done things our own way. Like they used to say in Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. When I did the 12 steps, they said, your best decisions and your best ways of thinking and your best ways to handle life have gotten you to this situation. And now is time to trust a higher power. Well, there is no higher power than the God of all the earth. His name is Jehovah. And he sent his son Jesus to die for you. And through him you can turn from your way of doing things to his way. And his way is the right way because he made you, and he made you for a purpose, and he knows exactly what you need to pull out your potential to forgive you of your sins, deliver you from the things that keep you away from God in a sin and death cycle. And if you'd open up your heart to him right now, together with me, God can begin a new work in your life. So just pray with me wherever you're at, whether you're driving your car, whether you're at home, wherever you are, just just pray with me and repeat after me. Say, Father, I come to you now. In the name of Jesus. I ask you to forgive me. Forgive me of my sins. Wash me in the blood of Jesus. I believe that your son died for my sins. And on the third day, he was raised from the dead. From this day forward, I belong to you. In Jesus' name, amen. You prayed that prayer. I'd like you to contact me, and we can send you some more resources and materials that can help you start this new life because this is the first day of the rest of your life. Email me at joe at nationsabroad.com or email the church at nfcontact at gmail.com. And we'd love to speak with you and just correspond with you and put you on the right path. Maybe help you find some local churches there online or something, or maybe we know some pastors there that can follow up with you and help teach you the word of God. Thank you for listening. And feel free to download the other podcasts and just feed on the word of God.
