(Prophesy series 2017) Rev. Bennie Sutherland- "The man of Sin"

A world can hesitate over Jesus for two millennia and yet rally around a single blaspheming ruler in 42 months—Scripture explains how. We walk through the biblical roadmap for understanding the Antichrist: testing the spirits in 1 John, Paul’s timeline and the restrainer in 2 Thessalonians, Satan’s audacious offer in Luke 4, and the beast’s limited reign in Revelation 13 and 17. Along the way, we connect the seven heads and ten horns to the succession of empires—Egypt to Rome—and consider how a final ten-king confederacy could emerge from Rome’s legacy with a “little horn” seizing power and global worship.

This conversation isn’t just charts and symbols. We grapple with the present-tense spirit of Antichrist: cultural desensitization, moral inversion, and the slow bleed of doctrine in churches that once prized holiness. We talk frankly about what makes people vulnerable to delusion—loving comfort more than truth—and why Scripture’s call to test every spirit is a daily discipline, not a one-time decision. You’ll hear why the Antichrist’s charisma, false signs, and counterfeit resurrection will sway the masses, why God’s sovereignty sets hard limits on his reign, and how a midweek betrayal will expose a false peace with Israel.

Our aim is both clarity and courage. We want you grounded in the Word, alert to deception, and anchored in the hope that the Lamb overcomes. If you’re hungry for a clear, Scripture-first framework on the Antichrist, the restrainer, apostasy, and the end-time timeline, this is a focused guide to help you stand. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs a steady compass, and leave a review with the verse that keeps you anchored today.

SPEAKER_04: 0:26

You took my place.

SPEAKER_02: 1:57

But you'll want to get you a place where you can see it's a charts fourteen foot by four foot, but I don't know how good your eyes are from where you're at. So right along the front. Everybody all right with it? Move around, because it's gonna be just what you see, okay? Thank you for the offering tonight for missions. Two hundred and twenty two dollars. Thank you very much. We're uh going to look at the man of sin, the uh Antichrist, the beast, to fill out the parts that we've already studied, the king of the north, the king of the south, the kings from the east. And now we're gonna look at their opponent, because actually the drama of uh tribulation and great tribulation will center around this man. It's a seven-year period. Can you say amen to that? He shall actually reign with power and dominion over the world for only three and a half years or 42 months. It's a short period of time, but it's a very destructive period of time. All focusing around one individual. Isn't it strange that uh that can happen? That so many people will be deceived by one man and give their allegiance to one man. Here we've had two thousand years to promote Jesus Christ, and the world still hasn't accepted him, but then the world will accept this man. Can I get an amen? I want to read to you first from uh chapter four of first John. First John chapter four. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God. Because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Now they wasn't of the world, those false prophets wasn't of the world, or they couldn't have gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God, every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God. So that's a hint, a very strong hint from the pen of John, that when you finally come to that age where people are not confessing that Jesus Christ was actually a man, that he did not come, that it was a fable, you're facing the Antichrist spirit. Notice the rest of it. And this is that spirit of what's that word? Antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come. John says in the first century, the first century, and even now already is it in the world. So it's had nineteen hundred years to perfect this, to lay the stage, to open it. And that's where we're at tonight. We're going to look at this man, see what we can learn about him, and what we can be aware of. Second Thessalonians, the apostle Paul gives us a photograph, a little snapshot of what he knows about the Antichrist, and you'll turn to 2 Timothy, or 2 Titus. 2 Thessalonians, I'll get it out of here, all those T's. Chapter 2, and listen to the reading. 2 Thessalonians chapter 2. Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and by our gathering together unto him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled, neither by spirit nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means, for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed the son of perdition, who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Remember ye not that when I was yet with you, I told you these things, Paul first century. Now remember this, this is first century. And now ye know what withholdeth, that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work, only he who now led will lead until ye be taken out of the way. And then shall the wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. Even him whose coming is after the working of Satan. Remember that now. This Antichrist is empowered not of God, not of his own self, but he is empowered of Satan. He will receive his power from Satan. Amen.

unknown: 9:09

Amen.

SPEAKER_02: 9:11

With all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivablessness of unrighteousness in them that perish, because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them a strong delusion that they should believe a lie, and that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. There is two quick shots from the first century preachers who tell us that there is not a physical Antichrist present, but the spirit of Antichrist that is beginning to work to oppose the church and to make a platform for the future physical Antichrist. Now, the Antichrist has not been revealed yet because the church is still here. Can I get an amen there? There have been speculations, enormous speculations. There was those who believed that Judas Isakar will raise from the dead and become the Antichrist. Peter Ruckman taught that, that uh Judas would come because he went to his own place, and he's reserved to come again. Then there's those that believe that different men in our own time have been the Antichrist. They have made Antichrist out of many. They thought Hitler was, or Mussolini could be. Many of us thought that the Pope was, and we have gone through several popes in the 19th centuries. So we're yet waiting for the man of sin to be revealed. Can I get an amen? The message is just a brief thing. I don't want you to get bored or worn out with this. I would like for you to learn, if it's possible, for me to instruct you. Now the kingdom of Antichrist is just what it means. He will rule a kingdom. Lucifer knew who Jesus was. Can he not get an amen from somebody? He was he was known of Lucifer. He knew he was God in the flesh. He knew that he had a program that had to be fulfilled. He came to do the will of the Father. But it's in it's it's inserted in the gospel of Luke in chapter four, and you need to read, and uh, or I will read it to you if you don't have your Bible, chapter four, and we'll look at verse five. If you got it, Luke chapter number four, and verse number five. And the devil taking him up, talking about the him is Jesus, and the devil taking him, Jesus, up into a high mountain, showed him unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. See the power this Lucifer has? He has, if you can, can you can you uh visualize this? Can you turn on the audio visual and and and see this in your head? There stands two people on top of this tall mountain. One is a devil, the other is the Son of God. It's not Jesus that is taking the forefront, it is Lucifer. He steps up, Jesus is standing there, and Lucifer makes the kingdoms of the world pass before him. Understand that? Lucifer makes the kingdoms of the world pass before him. That is the beginning, that is the temptation right there. And this is what we find that is written of that. And to a high mountain showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, Jesus, all this power will I give thee. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. Right? What an offer. For he said, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them, for that is delivered unto me, and to whomsoever I will, I give it. Whomsoever I will, I give it. Understand that the devil is now claiming the whole world. Now, how did he get this position? Because Adam, our first parent, forfeited it. And when he forfeited it, it went back to Lucifer. Lucifer now is the God of this world. Come on now, help me out here. How many believe that? He is the power behind wickedness, he is the power behind nations. He sets them up, he takes them away. God can also do that. But Lucifer can also do that. So what we are seeing set before us is the spirit of Antichrist, and from whence is it coming? You know it's already in the world, we know that that spirit was there presented to Jesus Christ, and that is exactly what the rebellion will be in the last day. Satan will find him a man and make him an offer. This will be a strange man, not like other men. He will be an atheist at heart, but not an atheist like atheists who don't believe in God because he will believe that he is God, but he will not believe in any other God. Now it's hard for us to understand anybody that would be that way, but that's where it's at. Jesus answered him that day, get thee behind me, Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. When we leave this account of Luke, we take up the writing of John, and when we do, we go clear to the end, and we come into the gospel of John and written in the book of Revelation, and we first find in chapter 13 a glimpse again. Look at chapter 13. And in this, you will you will find another description. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, verse one, and saw a beast rise out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns. Now remember that. Seven heads, ten horns. Got it? It's not ten heads, it's seven heads and ten horns. And upon his horns, ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leper, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion, and the dragon, Lucifer, gave him his power and his seat and great authority. What is his power? He's the God of this world. What is his seat? He is the God of this world. What is what is what is that that he has to give? He gives great authority. He gives authority over the earth. And I saw one of his heads, as it was wounded to death, his deadly wound was healed, and all the world wondered after the beast. They worshiped the dragon, which gave power to the beast. They worship Lucifer. Behind it all is Lucifer, behind it all is Satan, which gave great power unto the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. Notice that everybody notice that? Say man. Three and a half years. That's all that God gives to Lucifer. That's all Lucifer can give to the beast. You see, there's still a sovereign God in heaven. So 42 months is placed upon this man, this beast, this Antichrist. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him, and I thank them that dwell in heaven are probably that his knowledge of the raptured saints, that some that escaped him, and he blasphemes them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and that's Israel, and to overcome them, for he will overcome Israel. And power was given him over all kindred and tongues of nations. And where did he get the power? He gets his power from the devil, Lucifer, Satan. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb, slain from the foundation of the world. If any man hath an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity. He that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of saints. Amen. And the angel, in chapter 17, verse 7, and the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath seven heads and ten horns. The beast that thou sawest was and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit and go into perdition, and they sh 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. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings, five are fallen, one is, and the other is yet to come. And when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. The ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet, but receiveth power as kings, one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the lamb, and the lamb shall overcome them, for he is the Lord of lords and king of kings, and they that are with him are called and chosen and faithful. Then he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest where the whore seteth our people and multitudes, nations, and tongues. The tin horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts, theirs the sovereignty of God again. You'll always find it. Nothing is done without God. The devil does not work independent. He has to have permission for everything he does. God is the sovereignty of all. So look again at this. For God hath put in their heart to fulfill his will, not the devil's will, his will, and to agree and give their kingdom unto the beast. And here's the reason. Until the words of God shall be fulfilled. You see, that's the purpose. That God is working to fulfill his word in your life, in this church, in the world. God is working. We may not be doing much, but God is working. Amen. Now, I saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his head the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leper, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion, and the dragon gave him his power and his seed and great authority. And that man, that is his kingdom. That is the man, and that is his kingdom. He has boundaries on his kingdom. Now, the heads are of great importance. I don't know if we could get you to see it from the chart or not. Get out my little stay out of your way thing. Sure you hit the right button. Yeah, there we go. You will see on the bottom of the chart the time of the Gentiles, all stretched out there. First, you'll see the lion, the bear, and the ram, then you'll see the leper and the he goat, and this is the man here. Then you see the Roman Empire. This is the fourth beast. He's made up of all of these others. The king of the north, the Antichrist of Daniel 11. All of this is on the chart. Now, when we get to the place that you understand, the and the beast, the false prophet, his statue, and this is the woman on the back of the beast. See the seven heads and the ten horns. All of this is course a vision, and all of this is going to be literally fulfilled. So when we're looking at Nebuchadnezzar, and then we go to Medo-Persia, then we go to Greece, then we go to Rome, and then Rome divides, and this time is all history. How many understand can say, amen, that this is all history? That's past tense. So what we need to do is to pick up where prophecy starts for us. Okay, prophecy starts for us. Now, when prophecy starts for us, and I'm probably in the way, try to find someplace where I'm not in the way. Prophecy starts for us when these ten toes, which are future, we are right in here somewhere. The toes are going to be formed, which are prophetic right now. And they will, as you can see, they in Larkin's he he made he made a long, a long drawn out foot. But that was only seven years. It makes it look like it's as long a period of time as this almost the whole thing, but it's not. This toll period is seven years. Seven years. He doesn't come up until the ten kings have been revealed. So the first thing that they would look for when we're looking for the Antichrist, the first thing is the formulation of a confederacy in Europe that will somehow be militant and political at the same time. All right? So we're looking for that. And it's happening. Europe in the common market, the United Europe has now not only embraced economics by the Treaty of Rome, which they agreed to have a common market, freedom for workers to move anywhere in Europe and work that they would. That's the common market theory. To unify and bring in that money. And they have brought their own money to the table, Euro. Am I right? Am I in your way? Am I alright? I don't know where to get. I'm gonna give me a ladder and stand up on the ladder. I'm always in somebody's way. This will be the first thing that you notice, the formulation of ten kings. That's physically, spiritually, what you will look for is apostasy. You will see the spirit of Antichrist working before you will see the man Antichrist revealed. Now, is the spirit of Antichrist working? How can you tell it's the spirit of Antichrist? The first thing, the first thing, his spirit, he doesn't he doesn't embrace the love of women. So the first thing that you would see would be the abnormality. That's in our day when we are seeing same sex love affairs, same-sex marriages. I don't mean to offend you, but that's the spirit of Antichrist. It has come in like a flood. It has quickly dominated the thinking of America. States are voting again because people are voting it in. People are being deceived. All right. It starts off with it starts the spirit of Antichrist, starts off with unnatural affections. And there we see abortion. How many can see abortion as a spirit of Antichrist? Unborn babies by the millions have died simply because people love themselves more than their obligation. The next thing that you see is the deterioration of the home. Because the church is no stronger than the home life. So what does Satan try to do? He tries to tear up the home. Has he succeeded? Two out of three marriages. Out of every three that get married, two of them will fail. And on their second attempt, the number is even higher. And on their third, and we have had, what was it Liz Taylor had and was proud of it? Seven or eight husbands. And the world thought she was a darling. Churches are giving up being born again. They're giving up sanctification. They're giving up the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues and are telling people that when you get saved, you get the Holy Ghost. Therefore, there's no need of you seeking it, no need of you going and trying to be sanctified or anything else. You get everything when you're saved. That's the spirit of Antichrist. Then we have seen the Lord Jesus attacked. We've seen the Bible attacked. We've seen God attacked. All in this, our generation. We've had atheists, but they were laughed out of court. But now these are not laughing matters. Am I right? They're not laughing no more. We're not laughing no more. Simply because they are sweeping people away by the multitude. Now, all of this is the spirit prior to the man. There's only one thing. He has an hour. He has an hour to begin. How many know that if you're going to be given seven years, and that seven years is going to be broken in two, you're going to have three and a half years to set up your kingdom, three and a half years to rule, and then you're out of here. That a man has to have an hour to start. How many know that? He will have his hour. Can you say amen? The Antichrist, the Spirit is setting the stage. Lucifer is setting the stage. You've never seen so much animated movies about odd-looking creatures. Am I right? With all of this, hocus, pocus, come in focus. They can just do about anything they want to do as though they are empowered. Well, that's what the devil wants you to believe. Witchcraft. Wants you to believe in demonic spirits. That all demonic spirits are not bad. To be of the devil. Jesus said the words, and let me quote my Lord and Savior. He said, You are of your father, the devil. So the devil's got children running right along beside God's children. Only the devil's children believe a lie because he's the father of lies. Can I get an amen? So we know from history that we have gone from the head, we have gone through Metal Persia, we have gone through Greece, we have gone through Rome, we have lived to read the encyclopedia to know that we have seen Rome split. And in the middle of that, we've also seen that this time right in here, there was built a holy Roman Empire where the church and the emperor were one. Holy Roman church. That's part of part of papal worship. Can I get an amen? The Pope had power over kings. He dominated Europe. There were several popes, and if you write you read your history and your church history, you'll find out that those system of popes dominated Europe. Now, where is the Antichrist going to come from? Out of this holy Roman Empire. Because they never come back together. They're never going to be back up here in their strength. They will be divided. There will be an East and West, part of Europe, part of Turkey, part of that, and in through there, all the way down into Egypt. Because the first time you hear the emphasis is here in Greece, when this he goat, the great horn, is broken, and in the place of this he-goat's horn come up four other horns. And out of those four other horns comes a little horn. That's the first glimpse you get to see of him. That he will come out of one of those four divisions of the Grecian Empire. Am I right? Y'all still with me? Not going too fast, not boring you too bad. Here we go again. Look at it. It's very simple to see that this right here, this little horn that will come out of one of these four. And when Greece divided its empire, one took Greece and that area, one took, as we would say in our day, Syria, Lebanon, and that area, the Middle East. Then the other one took Egypt. You see, there was divided up into four. And that's where Daniel comes with that history. And a lot of the critics of Daniel are criticizing the book of Daniel and saying it was not inspired that somebody later wrote and inserted that in there. When you get to that 11th chapter, and you go down this king of the south, pushed the king of the north, and the king of the north pushed at the hymn. They had war, they had marriages, it didn't work, and it comes all the way down, all the way down through a hundred and some years of history, and you've you then it jumps, it takes that leap into prophetic history that's yet to be written. And the critics said, can't be. Believe this chart. Before Babylon. Remember that? Who was Israel's great enemy? Assyria. Assyria led the northern part into captivity. Babylon took the lower southern part. So Assyria is absorbed by Babylon. And before that there was Egypt. Egypt was the first Gentiles to touch Israel and affect them. So we see again the seven heads. Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome. Right? Okay. Moving down those seven heads, this simply because they these ten kings cannot come just out of nowhere. They must have some place to come. So we see the seven heads are historical, but all of this dominance of Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Greece, Amito-Persia, Greece, always as it goes to show you the little war down here. And it ends up with the Roman Empire. And there's not any after Rome. You understand that? You get you go marching down, you get Egypt, Egypt's gone. You get Babylon, Babylon was set up, become great, and one night Babylon falls, right? God prophesied, that's it. Babylon, you're out of here. Wham. No more Babylon, no more greatness. Am I right? God said it. Same way when you get to the Medo-Persians. It's the same thing. God disposes of them and gives it to Greece. And then Greece is absorbed by Rome. But it's the same kind of animalistic that you see. This is the image that God gave Nebuchadnezzar. It don't look terrifying. But then when you take another look at what God showed Daniel, it's a lion, it's a bear, it's a ram, it's a leper, it's a he-goat. It's a monstrosity. Got the body of a leper, the feet of a bear. It describes its teeth as iron, its claws as brass, and pictures it trampling nations, trampling them, tearing them apart. And that's what Rome does until it dictates the world and conquers the known world. But then time goes through and we start here. What do we learn from this Antichrist and this Antichrist spirit is the fact that it is now in the world, and we must judge by what we can understand ourselves. When I was a boy, home life was very important to America. I wasn't saved when I was a child, so we had television programs like Leave It to Beaver. All in the family, family-oriented, clean, with no cuss words. The novels that we read that was sold to the public was censored. Can I get an amen? They were censored. You couldn't put those little four-letter words in them. And then here comes the spirit of Antichrist. The first thing he takes out is censorship. And he insists that we have freedom of speech. Now, if I got freedom of speech, I can call you any name I want to call you. And then you can now on the radio say some pretty vulgar stuff. Am I right? On television, you can, if you've got one, and God help you if you've got one, that that you can see fornication, adultery, murder, violence. Am I right? And where did that come from? Antichrist. Why? Because he hates holiness because God is holy. He hates truth because God is truth. He hates unity because God and the Son and the Holy Ghost are one. He hates the church because it produces truth and preaches truth and stands for truth. So what's he do? He gets churches built on false doctrines. Not everybody in the pulpit is saved. Not everybody in the pulpit is there because they're God called. They're there because they chose the profession. That's why they can take with a PR man and build a church of mega size. Because it's all in what they offer the public. If some of those mega churches would have to sit through one of the BD Sutherland's fits, it wouldn't be mega the next day. But the Antichrist makes sure that the preacher that in the pulpit will get up and speak 45 minutes and never say nothing.

unknown: 45:44

That's right.

SPEAKER_02: 45:50

I'm trying to get this spirit of Antichrist first before we get into the physical Antichrist. We must understand the spirit of Antichrist is working already. It is in the world now. When you recognize the spirit of Antichrist, then you will be aware that there is a physical Antichrist that is on the stage and ready to step out now. That there is a physical Antichrist in our day is an absolute truth. We are waiting. And the only thing that's keeping him, the Spirit, Lucifer, from putting this spirit of Antichrist into a physical man is there is something that's holding him that the devil cannot override. How many understand that? Some have said it's the church. I don't believe so. Some have said it's the government of the world. I don't believe that. I believe that the Holy Ghost has come and that he's come to reprove sin. Am I right? That means he's fighting as hard against that spirit of Antichrist as anyone can fight. Look at you. You're really saved, you're really sane. You really got your right mind. You really know the truth. You really have the Holy Ghost. You do know that God's real. You do know that God's alive, and that God answers prayer. You know that. It's not a doubt, it's not disputed. We know it. So the Holy Ghost has held him back. His hour cannot come until some things happen. Am I right? First, there's a falling away. Now we know that the toes don't fall away. They're gonna remain through all seven years. So it's not the falling away of this apostasy, and we know it's not the devil. So what is the great falling away? Have you noticed it? Did you notice years ago, not really a long time ago, but years ago, that the Baptists looked a whole lot like us? And the Methodists looked a whole lot like us. That we could went into a Nazarene church and sit down, and they would have never known that we wasn't Nazarene. We all looked alike. The only thing that separated us was we spoke in tongues and they didn't. Am I right? Church of God of Anderson used to be a holiness church, Church of God of Cleveland, the sister Todd can tell you, used to be where we got our literature and our understanding of prophecy, sanctification, new birth. Oh yeah. Assembly of God used to be holiness. Church of God of Jesus, church of God of Christ in God, the black organization that's as big as the church of God and big as the assembly of God. They used to be holiness. Am I right? So where is the falling away at? Right here in front of us. Church of God. Just simply almost have torn down everything they once believed in to build churches. Assembly of God. Same way. Every great denomination that we had and organization that we had has fallen away. It's us the little independent churches that tooth and toenail are holding on. Amen. And we're having problems even among ourselves.

SPEAKER_01: 50:21

Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_02: 50:22

Amen. Because there's preachers now in holiness, Pentecostal holiness, that are preaching that Jesus Christ was an angel before he was Jesus of Nazareth. That he was not virgin born. That's right in holiness. Our fellowship. So are there is there a falling away? I say, yes, there's a falling away. Some people have denied the Holy Ghost will even be in heaven. That there will be no need of him in heaven and he won't be there. That there will only be the Father and the Son. But I don't believe that either. But it's believed in holiness. There's holiness preachers that preach that. So are we in a falling away? The answer is yes. Then we see one thing that has to be before he can let him come. We see the falling away. Is there an apostasy? A turning away from the faith? Yes, the answer to that is yes. So what are we waiting for? We're waiting for the Holy Ghost. Somewhere in this area, we may be able to see the formulation of these ten kings shortly as Europe becomes more militant. Did you read what Europe done when Putin or whatever his name is shut off the gas to Ukraine? They rose up and moved closer to Ukraine and said, We will not allow you to use finance or gas as a weapon of finance. So there is right now a crisis. How many remember reading the paper and know it's a crisis time? But Europe is now moving up. NATO is becoming part of the European community. It is no longer a treaty, it is now part of their fabric of their government. How many know what that means? Europe before has never had a unified army, but now they can have one with NATO. They not only are going to do that, but they're going to elect a president. How many understand that? And there will be states. So if you look at the formulation of the ten toes, we're seeing them forming right before our eyes and don't recognize what they are. When the ten have come in, when the Holy Ghost has let and will allow Satan out of that ten will rise that one little horn. Here he comes again. And this time he overthrows three. And he takes their power. And then the other ten give him their power because God puts it in their hearts. So I see from this little lesson tonight, and I hope you understood something of it. That we're looking at history, and history is over. But we're down here. And the formulation of the ten toes in the old Roman European movement is right here. The church, as you will see, the church age, at the end of it, Jesus comes. Same time the Antichrist is revealed in his hour, is it the same time that Jesus comes into this world, into the lower atmosphere, and people are pulled out of their graves and off of the earth by his presence. And when we go soaring away, the man of stin steps out, and oh, has he got a program? He will first start out among these horns, among these ten toes, and he will start out by uprooting them, taking possession of them. And he will gain the confidence of a united Europe, and then he will turn to Israel and offer Israel a treaty. You'll recognize him if you're here. God help you if you are, but you'll recognize him because you'll be the little fellow that steps up peaceably. And all he can say to them is, We will protect you. We will not let them overrun you. They will not bomb you. They will not shoot missiles at you no more. And Israel will become a nation who dwells in cities without walls. They will lay down their defenses and trust him. And in the middle of the week, you'll know him for sure. Because he'll break it. And he'll go on television and say, I am God. Oh, you'll know him if you're so unfortunate as to be here. You will have no problem understanding that you have missed the great event, and it's going to be seven years before you see Jesus again or have a chance to see Jesus again. You miss him here. You will not see him until here. As the stone hewed out of the mountain. You will have seven years to think about your failures, seven years to think about your conduct, seven years to think about your spirit, your mindset. You'll have seven years, and you will hate yourself, and you will hate your life, and you will know that the only way that you can get to heaven before Jesus comes to reconcile, amen, the Gentiles and destroy the whole of the Gentile kingdoms is to die. And you'll have to come to where you love not your life unto death. So the Antichrist is working today. Violence, shooting, mass shootings. Am I right? And it's something to nine, and it's time for me to quit. So any questions before we let you come and pray that you want to ask, and if I can, I will answer them. If not, we'll let the professor do it. Anyone? Any questions? Yes, Barn?

SPEAKER_08: 58:20

Is Satan just going to give him power, or he will he physically well the Antichrist?

SPEAKER_02: 58:28

Is Satan going to give him power?

unknown: 58:30

Just just give him power, or is he physically going to be?

SPEAKER_02: 58:34

He's gonna the the Satan is going to use the beast and the false prophet to be his trinity. Satan is going to be God the Father. The beast, the Antichrist is going to be Jesus Christ, and the false prophet is going to be the Holy Ghost. That's why he will have a wound unto death and live, because he's going to pull off a fake resurrection. He's going to deceive people into making him a God. And they're going to believe that lie. And God's going to let them be damned. Yes, Lucifer is going to give the Antichrist every bit of power that a man has ever possessed. He will rule the whole world. Any other questions? David?

SPEAKER_07: 59:32

That day shall not come. What day is that? Is that him? Rapture. The rapture. So the man at the time.

SPEAKER_02: 59:39

The rapture and the red and and the revealing are the same day. That day.

unknown: 59:45

Okay.

SPEAKER_02: 59:46

That day when God steps in, takes one thing out, and opens the door and reveals the other.

SPEAKER_08: 59:51

So we won't necessarily see him.

SPEAKER_02: 59:52

We'll be uh you better hope you won't. Right.

SPEAKER_04: 59:57

Brother Benny, when you mentioned that um Europe. Elect a president. Is that something that you're saying in futuristic, or is that something that you're talking about?

SPEAKER_02: 1:00:04

They're working on that right now. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. They're working on that right now. They're gonna earn all these wrinkles out. There's just a few things over there that some are gonna drop out. Some will drop out because they're not in the old Roman Empire anyway. They never was. Some will drop out, others will be brought in. But that that unifying, if I had my world map here, Jeff is gonna get me a bigger one. He's promised me he's gonna get me a bigger map. If he could talk the government out of it, so we could have a big map to look at the world. If we could look at the world as it was in the day of Caesar, we would see it run up to Portugal, Spain, even up to Britain. It did not even take in all of Germany, but it did run all the way up to Britain. And it came all the way down over to the borders of India, all the way down into Egypt, along the Mediterranean, clear back up to so what is it, Rock of Gibraltar, the port that comes into the Mediterranean Sea? They controlled the isthmus there so they could control the sea. Any other questions?

SPEAKER_07: 1:01:28

Who was that? Who was he talking to? The church, right?

SPEAKER_02: 1:01:31

Right.

SPEAKER_07: 1:01:32

So I think he understanding exactly what Satan is on power and side and my wonder is all Satan. Satan is gonna give him all that, all that for this cause because they've received nothing that they're like the same. With this cause, God just said.

SPEAKER_06: 1:01:54

Does that mean that if a person had the truth available and denied it or used it and overwrote it, they'll believe the lie in the game?

SPEAKER_02: 1:02:06

There will come a time when God will not permit people to be saved. Those who had pleasure in unrighteousness, those that didn't hold the truth, God will deny them the right to get saved. You see, it takes God to forgive your sins. You don't get saved just because you pray. You got to pray until God has forgiven your sins. That's true repentance. A lot of people don't understand that. They think they're just going up here and weeping a few tears and your sins are gone. They're not gone until God forgives them. That's true repentance. Godly sorrow worketh repentance. You gotta be sorry you sinned against God. There are people now in church that come in dressed like devils, made up like clowns, and they go through the motions of worship with no conscience that God has said, I hate certain things. How many know God hates certain things? Any other questions? None. I know I didn't do that good a job, but thank you for that vote of confidence. Next week we'll still be on Antichrist. We gotta get through the spiritual before we can get to the physical. The physical guy is ugly. He is mean, he is vicious, he is self-centered, he's hateful, he's powerful, he's rich, he's got strange gods, strange beliefs, but he's gonna be so charismatic that people give them his their hearts and we'll follow him. One thing in closing, Stalin in the Second World War said these words. He said, He said, I want the people's will, I want their mind, and I want their will. He said, You can take away their nation, you can take away their implements of war, but unless they have you have their will, they will rebel. So he started communism, communism that sells their soul and their mind and their will to a cause. How many understand that? Well, the Antichrist is gonna be the same kind of spirit, just like Stalin. He's gonna be out to make you a slave, he's gonna break your will, he's gonna enslave you, he's gonna have it so rough that he's gonna dictate to you your finances that no man can buy or sell without you have submitted. When Hitler run Europe, every Jew had to have the Star of David to mark them as a Jew. How many remember that? Hitler done that when he put them in the concentration camp, he numbered them. And most Jews that came through that period of time had it right there. They were marked for life. Star of David made them know that that was a Jew, no matter where he was, he was a Jew. And they had to be completely submitted. Do you understand? So, what does uh what does Antichrist do? Mark in your forehead, marking your hand, or you worship him. He's gonna have your mind, he's gonna have your will, you're gonna be his slave, and you will do as he says, or he will kill you. Amen. Thank you for being good listeners. I don't know that I had a whole lot to say, but thank you for being good listeners. There's no more questions. The brothers are gonna remove this, and the altar is open, and thank you for being here. Uh brother Rick, come and get us a song. Brother Rodney, come. Let's take this down and put it out of the way. Let's stand. Brother Rick's gonna get us a song. Come, the altar's open. It's just to go home. Somewhere somewhere listening for her name. They only one more.
