THE TIME OF THE GENTILE
We have many things going on in this world now. All you have to do is stick with God's word. You have many prognosticators going around passing out junk. You have to stick with the bible. So to find out just what is happening we will go to God's word and find out before the fact what is going to happen. Jesus said “I have foretold you all things” You want to know so that you will know how to act when that time comes.
What is the first seal revealed to us? It is the coming of the Antichrist on his white horse. Numerically it is the sixth seal. Why did God give it to us first? It is the most important seal to have locked away in your mind. This is one of Christ most important teachings and you will find that out in today's lesson. The sixth seal, sixth trump and the 6th vial = 666 and that is not the time for you to go run and hide, or fly away, no it is the time for you to go to work if you are here on earth. We are going to cover this today in detail. I want you to remember something Jesus promised us in Luke 21 “Not a hair on your head shall parish.”
Lets start by going to the 17th chapter of Revelation. This is where the beast system, the world political system is setup; and the false Messiah appears. The one that goes into perdition. There is only one that has been sentenced to parish at this time and that is Satan.
Verse 8. 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, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
He was in the first earth age and was condemned there to death. “When they behold the beast that was and is not, and yet is” that may sound somewhat confusing but it means that he has different rolls to play. He appears as Satan, the dragon, The Antichrist, the serpent Etc.
Verse 9. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
Pay attention this is why we came here. “And here is the mind which hath wisdom” when you read that you want to take notice, pay attention something important is going to be said or happen. Wisdom from God is a precious thing; This means that He is going to reveal something to you that is very important. When He says here is wisdom, He means it.
The seven heads are seven mountains; that means 7 nations on which the woman sitteth. These are nations on which the political system rides.
The subject is Jerusalem and who controls it; The land of Judea. Thank about this, Who surrounds it today? I want you to thank about the armies that surround Jerusalem today. Who controlled her in the beginning? The book of Danial foretells it. Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon was the great head of gold; Remember? Babylon was the first ruler. The first one that took over that area, and what followed?
Persia; which today is Iran. Iran is very much in play with this today. Here is where the supernatural begins to work in so sharpen up and pay attention. 10th chapter of Danial. A messenger was sent to warn our people what would befall them in the end days. And the prince of Persia withheld him 21 days before Michael interceded and he was able to make it through. So when we are dealing with Persia “Iran” today do not be surprised what happens.
#3 Greece.
#4 Rome. Rome was in charge when Christ walked the earth.
#5 From the year 636 till today The Muhammad reign. The Islamic people control the area. In the year 1948 both the good and the bad fig tree were planted there.
That is not the whole story. Turn with me in your bible to Luke 21. What was the subject that Christ was talking about? We find that in verse 5.As some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with stones and gifts He said.
What was it that they spoke of? Was it Jerusalem, was it Judea, or somewhere else? NO it was the temple. That is important it is a key do not forget it.
Verse 6.As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Again what are we talking about? The temple. What sits on the temple spot, the temple mound today? It is called Moriah. Do you know what Moriah means in the Hebrew Chosen by Yahweh “God” God took that spot to wed in Ezekiel chapter 16. He made an eternal covenant with it. We are talking about the temple mount; and this is the temple that we are talking about.
If you read on Jesus goes on to sat take head lest any man deceive you, and that you are going to be delivered up. The Holy Spirit is going to speak through you. You should all be very familiar with it. Again what is the subject? The temple do not forget that, and do not forget what takes place there.
We are going down to verse 18 because there is a very important promise made to all that will go through this “There shall not a hair on your head parish” Do you believe that God is able to protect you? He has given you power over all your enemies. You must learn to use and exercise that power. You have it! Use it! Let it comfort you after all that power is the power of the Holy Spirit.
Verse 19.In your patience possess ye your souls.
Be patient wait on God, listen to God. Do not listen to man “ this is Pastor speaking” That is this man or any other man unless he backs up what he says with the scriptures of God. You have all kinds of people out there running around that like to pass out junk. Do you know where to put that junk? You have a file cabinet it is round and may or may not have a bag in it that is where you put that junk. You have to stick to Gods word we are to late in the season for you to be deceived. Stick to Gods word do not listen to mans prognostications. But Pastor I want to know what is going to happen right know. Well study Gods word, Absorb it, learn from it; just make sure it is Gods word and not the word of some man.
Verse 20 this is the real reason we came here.
Verse 20. And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
What desolation? The desolation of abomination of desolation spoken of by Danial the Prophet. Danial 9:27.
Know it! What do you see around Jerusalem today as I stated earlier. Those armies that have been from the beginning have a grate part to play in who is surrounding Jerusalem today.
Verse 21.Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
What was the subject that I told you to remember coming right out the gate? He is going to level the temple, He is going to cleans it? When?
Verse 22. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
How many things are going to be fulfilled? All things may be fulfilled on that day of vengeance. Do you know when that is? You are going to have a big clue here in a moment. Know this not just part of the things are going to be fulfilled but all things will be fulfilled. On that day ALL things will be fulfilled.
