,..hi. The Beast and the False Prophet Part 1
Let's identify the Beast and the False Prophet
In Daniel:2 chapter in the second year of the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar. He had a dream, and it bothered him that he couldn't remember the dream, so he called for the magicians, astrologers, sorcerers and Chaldean's to shew him his dream and the interpretation. The King promised if they do this thing he asked, there will be gifts rewards and great honor given to them.
However, his wise men were unable
to reveal the Kings dream or the interpretation, saying only the gods
that dwell not in flesh would have such power to do so. Then the King
in his fury commanded to destroy all the wise men in Babylon which
included Daniel and his fellows.
After hearing this bad news Daniel
sought the kings guard to understand why such a decree was made.
Arioch the kings guard told Daniel all the king had commanded, so
Daniel asked of the king time, and he would shew him the dream and
the interpretation.
Daniel went and told his
companions the kings decree and they prayed to the God of heaven
about this secret that they would not perish with the wise men of
Babylon. God hearing their prayer revealed the dream and the
interpretation to Daniel.
Arioch the guard brought Daniel before the king in hast and said I have found a man among the captives of Judah that will make known unto you the interpretation. Then the king asked Daniel are you able to reveal the dream and the interpretation?
Daniel answered speaking in a bold
and audacious kind of way, could not the Kings wise men the
astrologers, magicians, soothsayers reveal the king his dream and
interpret it? Nevertheless there is a God in heaven that revealeth
secrets and will shew you oh king what shall be in the latter days.
The Dream
Dan:2,27-35
27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;
28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.
30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.
31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a Great Image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
32 This image's head was of fine Gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his of brass,belly and his thighs
33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
34 Thou sawest till that a Stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and Brake them to pieces.
35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, Broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the Stone that smote the image became a Great Mountain, and filled the Whole earth.

36 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
The
Interpretation
Thou oh King are a King of kings, for the God of heaven have given you a kingdom, power strength and glory. And wherever the children of men dwell the beast of the field and the fowls of the heaven have he given into your hand, and have made you a ruler over them all. You are this head of gold.
And after you will arise another
kingdom inferior to you, and a third kingdom of brass, which shall
bear rule over all the earth. And a fourth kingdom shall be strong as
iron: for as much as iron break in pieces and subdueth all things: and
as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
The feet and toes you saw
part of potters clay and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided
but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron forasmuch as
thou saw the iron mixed with miry clay. And as the toes of the feet
were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly
strong and partly broken.
And whereas you saw iron mixed
with miry clay, they shall mix themselves with the seed of men: but
they shall not cleave one to another even as iron is not mixed with
clay.
And in the days of these
kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall
never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people
but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it
shall Stand Forever
Forasmuch as you saw the Stone was
cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it break in pieces
the iron the brass the clay the silver and gold, the Great God have
made known to the king what shall come to past hereafter. And the
dream is certain and the interpretation sure.
Now this image Daniel describe
shows us the beginning and end of the Gentile domination, the entire
Babylonian Empire from King Nebuchadnezzar to the coming of Jesus.
The gentiles are currently ruling the world and will do so until the
return of Christ.
He will come to judge and make war, take down all the kingdoms of this world and set up his everlasting government on earth. Who are the gentiles? You can find them in Gen:10-2,5. Simply white folks or European's.
In Daniel 7chapter, describe these kingdoms as four beast, In chapter 8 it show how these kingdoms overtook each other. These were the only Four World ruling kingdoms on earth which were all gentile nations described by Daniel in chap.2 of the Great image King Nebuchadnezzar dreamed about.This beast consisted of the whole Babylonian Empire

Daniels Dream
In
the book of Dan:7th chapter,
Daniel had a dream about four beast that came up from the sea which
represent kingdom's, and they were different one from another. The first
was like a lion, the second like a bear, the third like a leopard,
the
fourth was dreadful, and
terrible,
and strong exceedingly with
great
iron teeth and
it had ten
horns:
And behold there came up among them another little horn; before whom there were three of the first horns (Ostrogoths, Vandals, and the Herullians) plucked up by the roots. This little horn represent the papacy or the pope, and on this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth speaking great things.
And behold there came up among them another little horn; before whom there were three of the first horns (Ostrogoths, Vandals, and the Herullians) plucked up by the roots. This little horn represent the papacy or the pope, and on this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth speaking great things.
- 8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things
- v-9; I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
- v-10; A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
- v-11; I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed and given to the burning flame.
This little horn is the same one spoken of in Rev:17-11 And the beast that was and is not, even he is the eight, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
These seven represent the only four world ruling kingdoms on earth. This eight horn that is of the seven, he too will rule the world for 3-1/2 years, he with his allies reining terror in the earth.
The ten horns Daniel saw would represent the rise and fall of Rome ten times, nine have come and gone Mussolini being the ninth, presently we are waiting for the tenth, the man of sin to be revealed.
