OUR LESSON TODAY IS THE ANTICHRIST AND THE FALSE PROPHET.

THE TWO MEN WHO WILL SOON RULE THE WORLD.

IN THE LAST SEGMENT OF UNDERSTANDING THE ENDTIME WE LEARNED THAT THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE HAS NOW BEEN REBORN.

WE ALSO LEARNED THAT THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE HAS ALWAYS BEEN RULED BY TWO LEADERS, A POLITICAL LEADER, AND A RELIGIOUS LEADER.

THE BIBLE FORETELLS THAT THE ENDTIME HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE WILL ONCE AGAIN BE RULED BY A POLITICAL LEADER AND A RELIGIOUS LEADER.

THE POLITICAL LEADER WILL BE A MAN CALLED THE ANTICHRIST.

THE RELIGIOUS LEADER WILL BE THE FALSE PROPHET.

LET’S CONSIDER THE ANTICHRIST FIRST.

I’M TALKING ABOUT THE COMING ONE-WORLD DICTATOR WHO IS ON THIS EARTH RIGHT NOW WAITING TO BE REVEALED.

THE ANTICHRIST IS CALLED BY MANY NAMES IN SCRIPTURE.

HE’S CALLED THE MAN OF SIN.

HE’S CALLED THE SON OF PERDITION.

LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT SCRIPTURE, II THESSALONIANS 2:3-4.

II THESSALONIANS 2:3-4

SO, HERE YOU SEE HIM CALLED BY THESE TWO NAMES: MAN OF SIN, SON OF PERDITION.

HOWEVER, HE’S CALLED BY MANY OTHER NAMES.

IN SECOND THESSALONIANS 2:8, IT STATES:

II THESSALONIANS 2:8

SO, IN THIS PASSAGE AND IN A FEW OTHER PASSAGES, THE ANTICHRIST IS REFERRED TO AS “THAT WICKED ONE.”

“AND THEN SHALL THAT WICKED ONE BE REVEALED.”

THE ANTICHRIST IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE LITTLE HORN.

IN DANIEL CHAPTER 7, VERSE 8, LISTEN TO THE PASSAGE.

DANIEL 7:8

NOW, THE PASSAGE GOES ON TO SAY IN CHAPTER 7, VERSE 21; THAT THE LITTLE HORN WILL MAKE WAR AGAINST THE SAINTS UNTIL THE ANCIENT OF DAYS COMES.

THAT’S THE WAY WE KNOW FOR POSITIVE THAT THIS LITTLE HORN IS THE ANTICHRIST BECAUSE THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS IN MANY OTHER PASSAGES THAT THE ANTICHRIST IS GOING TO DO.

THEN, IN REVELATION 13:4-5, THE ANTICHRIST IS REFERRED TO AS THE BEAST.

REVELATION 13:4-5

NOW, WE STUDIED PREVIOUSLY THAT A BEAST IN BIBLE PROPHECY ALWAYS REPRESENTS A KINGDOM OR A NATION ALONG WITH THE RULER OF THAT KINGDOM OR NATION.

THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER BECAUSE SOMETIMES WHEN WE SAY THE BEAST WE’RE SPEAKING ABOUT THE WORLD GOVERNMENT OF THE ENDTIME, AND OTHER TIMES WHEN WE SAY THE BEAST, WE ARE SPEAKING ABOUT THE RULER OF THAT WORLD GOVERNMENT OF THE ENDTIME, THE ANTICHRIST HIMSELF.

BUT THE NAME THAT WE MOST COMMONLY CALL THIS ENDTIME WORLD DICTATOR IS THE ANTICHRIST.

IN THE PRESENT DAY WE MOST COMMONLY REFER TO HIM, AND MOST PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF THIS COMING RULER, BY THE NAME THE ANTICHRIST.

FIRST JOHN CHAPTER 2, VERSE 18 SAYS:

I JOHN 2:18

NOW, MANY PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT THE TERM ANTICHRIST IS NOT IN THE BIBLE, BUT THAT’S NOT TRUE BECAUSE YOU SEE THE EVIDENCE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU RIGHT NOW.

JOHN UNDERSTOOD THAT THERE WAS AN INDIVIDUAL RULER, ANTICHRIST.

AND THEN HE WENT ON TO SAY THAT THERE ARE MANY ANTICHRISTS, PLURAL.

WHY DID HE SAY THAT?

BECAUSE THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE IN THAT TIME THAT HAD THE SPIRIT OF THE ANTICHRIST, THAT WAS CLAIMING TO BE THE CHRIST.

AND THAT’S ONE OF THE THINGS THE ANTICHRIST WILL DO.

JOHN SAID, THERE ARE MANY ANTICHRISTS IN THE WORLD, BUT THERE IS A SINGULAR RULER, AN ANTICHRIST, THAT IS TO COME.

THE NAME ANTICHRIST MEANS AGAINST CHRIST, TO BE ANTI IS AGAINST.

SO, THE NAME ANTICHRIST MEANS TO BE AGAINST CHRIST OR IN THE PLACE OF CHRIST.

LET’S FIND OUT NOW WHERE THE ANTICHRIST WILL COME FROM.

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WONDERING THAT RIGHT NOW.

IS HE GOING TO COME FROM AN ISLAMIC COUNTRY?

WILL HE COME FROM EUROPE?

COULD HE EVEN BE FROM AMERICA?

THE BIBLE TELLS US WHERE THE ANTICHRIST IS GOING TO COME FROM.

IN DANIEL CHAPTER 7, VERSE 8.

WE READ THESE WORDS.

“I CONSIDERED THE HORNS,” SPEAKING OF THE TEN HORNS ON THE BEAST.

THE TEN HORNS REPRESENT TEN KINGS, THE TEN KINGS THAT WILL SUPPORT THE ANTICHRIST.

DANIEL 7:8

SO, WE KNOW THAT THE ANTICHRIST IS GOING TO COME UP AMONG A TEN-HORNED KINGDOM, OR A TEN-KING ALLIANCE.

WE’VE ALREADY PROVED PREVIOUSLY IN OUR STUDIES THAT THESE HORNS SYMBOLIZE KINGS.

IT SAYS THAT RIGHT THERE IN CHAPTER 7.

SO, THERE WILL BE TEN KINGS AND THEN THE ANTICHRIST WILL COME UP AMONG THEM, UPROOTING THREE.

SO, WE KNOW THE ANTICHRIST IS GOING TO COME UP AMONG TEN KINGS, BUT WHICH TEN KINGS?

WELL, WHEN WE REFER TO THE TEN HORNS OF DANIEL 7, WE KNOW THAT THAT’S THE SAME TEN KINGS OF THE TEN KINGS SYMBOLIZED BY TEN TOES IN CHAPTER 2.

NOW, IN PROPHESYING ABOUT THE TEN TOES, WHICH IS THE VERY LAST PART OF DANIEL’S STATUE, IN VERSE 44, LISTEN TO WHAT DANIEL SAID.

DANIEL 2:44

NOW, WHAT CAN WE KNOW FROM THIS?

THE TEN TOES ARE THE VERY LAST THING.

AND THE BIBLE SAYS THERE IN CHAPTER 2 THAT WHEN JESUS CHRIST COMES, HE WILL SMITE THE IMAGE ON THE FEET AND THE WHOLE SYSTEM OF WORLD GOVERNMENT AND OF HUMAN GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO COME DOWN.

BUT THERE IS ONE MORE IMPORTANT THING WE’VE GOT TO KNOW.

THE LEGS OF THIS IMAGE WERE THE LEGS OF IRON, THE ROMAN EMPIRE, WHICH RULED THE WORLD FROM ABOUT 200 B.C. UNTIL ABOUT 300 A.D.

THEN, THE LAST SEGMENT OF THIS IMAGE REPRESENTS THE FIVE WORLD GOVERNMENTS THAT WOULD RULE THE WORLD FROM 600 B.C. UNTIL THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS.

THE VERY LAST SEGMENT WAS IRON MINGLED WITH CLAY.

NOW, THE IRON WAS THE ROMAN EMPIRE.

THE FEET AND THE TOES OF IRON MINGLED WITH CLAY SYMBOLIZE THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE.

NOTICE THAT THE IRON ELEMENT IS HELD OVER, BUT ANOTHER ELEMENT IS MIXED IN, THE CLAY.

SO, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE, WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN FROM EUROPE.

NOTICE THESE TEN TOES ARE OF IRON MINGLED WITH CLAY.

THAT MEANS THE TEN-HORNED KINGDOM IS GOING TO COME FROM EUROPE, FROM THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE.

AND IT SAYS RIGHT HERE.

DANIEL 2:44

SINCE WE KNOW THE ANTICHRIST COMES UP FROM AMONG THESE TEN HORNS, OR TEN TOES, THE SAME THING.

SINCE THE ANTICHRIST COMES UP AMONG THEM, WE KNOW THE ANTICHRIST WILL COME UP FROM THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE REVIVED.

ABSOLUTE PROOF.

I HOPE YOU GET THIS POINT BECAUSE IT’S SO IMPORTANT.

THE RULER OF THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE HAS ALWAYS COME FROM EUROPE.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE ONCE AGAIN HE WILL COME FROM EUROPE.

LET’S TAKE A LOOK NOW AT THE ANTICHRIST KINGDOM.

WHAT’S IT GOING TO LOOK LIKE?

REVELATION CHAPTER 13 IS DIVIDED UP INTO THREE SECTIONS.

VERSES 1 THROUGH 8 DEALS WITH THE WORLD GOVERNMENT OF THE ANTICHRIST AND THE ANTICHRIST HIMSELF.

VERSE 11 THROUGH 15 DEALS WITH HIS RELIGIOUS PARTNER, THE FALSE PROPHET.

AND THEN, VERSES 16 THROUGH 18 TALKS ABOUT THEIR ONE-WORLD ECONOMIC SYSTEM, WHICH THEY WILL USE TO FORCE OBEDIENCE AND COMPLIANCE TO THE EDICTS OF THIS ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT AND THE ONE-WORLD RELIGIOUS SYSTEM THAT THEY WILL BE SETTING UP.

LET’S LOOK NOW AT THIS 13TH CHAPTER, BEGINNING WITH VERSE 1.

REVELATION 13:1-2

NOW REMEMBER, A BEAST SYMBOLIZES A KINGDOM, ALONG WITH THE RULER OF THAT KINGDOM.

THIS BEAST SYMBOLIZES THE LAST DAY WORLD GOVERNMENT AND ITS RULER.

IT WILL INCLUDE MOST OF THE NATIONS ON EARTH TODAY, INCLUDING THE REBORN HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE, WHICH WAS JUST REBORN ON NOVEMBER 3, 2009.

NOW, LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THIS BEAST ONE MORE TIME.

THE TEN-NATION UNION IS GOING TO MERGE INTO THIS WORLD GOVERNMENTAL SYSTEM.

REMEMBER, THE BEAST HAD THE BODY OF THE LEOPARD, THE FEET OF THE BEAR, THE MOUTH OF THE LION, AND THE TEN HORNS OF THE TEN-HORNED KINGDOM.

AND ALL OF THESE BEASTS, WHICH WERE SHOWN AS SEPARATE KINGDOMS BACK IN DANIEL 7, HAVE NOW MERGED INTO A SINGLE KINGDOM, THE ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT, UNDER THE PROCESS THAT WE KNOW OF AS GLOBALIZATION.

IT’S IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT THE ANTICHRIST IS GOING TO RULE THIS WORLD GOVERNMENT.

THE NATIONS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THIS WORLD GOVERNMENT BEAST ARE GERMANY, THAT’S THE LEOPARD; RUSSIA, THE BEAR; GREAT BRITAIN, THE LION; AND THE TEN-NATION ALLIANCE FROM THE REBORN HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE.

SO, THESE ARE THE POWERS THAT WE KNOW FOR POSITIVE ARE GOING TO BE PARTICIPATING IN THE ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT OF THE ANTICHRIST.

WE ALSO KNOW FROM THIS PASSAGE AND OTHERS THAT THE ANTICHRIST WILL RULE THIS ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENTAL SYSTEM FOR THREE AND ONE-HALF YEARS.

DANIEL 7:25 SAYS IT THIS WAY.

DANIEL 7:25

SO, A TIME, TIMES AND A DIVIDING OF TIME IS THREE AND ONE-HALF YEARS.

WE KNOW THIS BECAUSE IF YOU GO BACK TO REVELATION 13, IT SAYS THE SAME THING, ONLY IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

IN VERSE 5 OF REVELATION 13 IT TELLS US:

REVELATION 13:5

AND OF COURSE, 42 MONTHS IS TIME, TIMES AND DIVIDING OF TIME, OR THREE AND ONE-HALF YEARS.

ALL OF US WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ANTICHRIST, AND THERE WILL COME A TIME WHERE WE WILL BE ABLE TO.

HOWEVER, IN MY STUDIES OF THREE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE, DANIEL, REVELATION AND SECOND THESSALONIANS, FROM THOSE THREE BOOKS ALONE, WE HAVE 53 SPECIFIC PROPHECIES ABOUT THE ANTICHRIST.

I WAS AMAZED WHEN I REALIZED HOW MANY WE HAVE.

THIS MAN, THE ANTICHRIST, IS UNDOUBTEDLY ALIVE ON THE EARTH RIGHT NOW.

ALL OF THE PROPHECIES TO SURROUND HIS RULE ARE IN FACT COMING TO PASS RIGHT NOW.

SO, LET’S LEARN SOME THINGS ABOUT THE ANTICHRIST.

THERE’S BEEN A LOT OF DEBATE.

SOME PEOPLE THINK THE ANTICHRIST COULD PERHAPS BE A SYSTEM AND NOT ACTUALLY A MAN.

LET’S SEE WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.

IN DANIEL 7, VERSE 24 AND 25 IT TELLS US THAT TEN KINGS SHALL ARISE, AND OF COURSE, KINGS ARE MEN, RIGHT?

AND THEN, ANOTHER KING WILL COME UP AMONG THE TEN AND WILL SUBDUE THREE OF THEM.

AND SO, SINCE HE’S KING, IT BECOMES OBVIOUS THAT HE IS A MAN.

SO, HERE WE SEE THE ANTICHRIST IS A KING OR A RULER AND HE WILL BE A MAN.

THE SECOND THING WE KNOW FOR CERTAIN ABOUT THE ANTICHRIST IS HE WILL CONFIRM THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT.

THIS COMES FROM DANIEL 9:27.

IT SAYS THERE THAT THE ANTICHRIST WILL CONFIRM A COVENANT WITH MANY FOR SEVEN YEARS.

AND IT’S REFERRING TO THE COVENANT OF GENESIS 15:18.

WHEN GOD MADE A COVENANT WITH ABRAM SAYING THE LAND ON WHICH YOU PRESENTLY DWELL WILL BE YOURS AND YOUR DESCENDANTS AFTER YOU FOREVER.

THAT’S THE REASON WE CALL IT THE HOLY LAND.

IT’S THE COVENANT LAND, THE PROMISED LAND.

WHEN THIS PEACE AGREEMENT IS SIGNED, WHICH WILL ACKNOWLEDGE ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO EXIST, IT WILL BE SIGNED WITH THE WORLD COMMUNITY, IT WILL BE SIGNED WITH THE PALESTINIANS AND ISRAEL.

THE ANTICHRIST WILL SOMEHOW PARTICIPATE IN THE SIGNING OF THIS PEACE AGREEMENT AND IT WILL CONFIRM ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO EXIST.

OF COURSE, THAT’S ONE OF THE BIGGEST DISPUTES RIGHT NOW IN THE HOLY LAND CONFLICT.

THE ANTICHRIST MAY NOT BE OUT FRONT IN THIS PARTICULAR SIGNING OF THIS PEACE AGREEMENT.

HE MAY BE ONE AMONG MANY.

THE BIBLE SIMPLY SAYS HE WILL CONFIRM THE COVENANT WITH MANY FOR SEVEN YEARS, BUT WE’RE GOING TO SEE THAT HE WON’T BE REVEALED UNTIL THREE AND A HALF YEARS LATER.

ONCE THE COVENANT IS CONFIRMED BY THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, THAT SETS IN MOTION THE FINAL SEVEN YEARS TO ARMAGEDDON.

BUT THE ANTICHRIST IS NOT GOING TO BE REVEALED UNTIL THREE AND ONE HALF YEARS LATER.

THE THIRD THING THAT WE KNOW FOR CERTAIN ABOUT THE ANTICHRIST IS THAT HE WILL ARISE AMONG TEN KINGS.

WE’VE ALREADY MENTIONED THIS.

DANIEL 7:24, ALSO REVELATION 17:12, 13.

BOTH OF THESE SPECIFICALLY STATE THERE WILL BE A TEN-NATION KINGDOM AND THAT WILL BE THE POWER BASE OF THE ANTICHRIST.

SO, WE’RE SEEING SEVERAL THINGS THAT THE ANTICHRIST IS GOING TO HAVE TO DO.

IF HE DOESN’T DO THESE THINGS, HE’S NOT THE ANTICHRIST.

SO, IT’S GOING TO BE REALLY TOUGH TO MISS IDENTIFYING HIM WHEN HE COMES TO THE FOREFRONT BECAUSE HE WILL FULFILL EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE PROPHECIES WITHOUT FAIL.

FURTHERMORE, THE BIBLE TEACHES US THAT HE WILL COME UP FROM AMONG TEN KINGS AND HE WILL UPROOT THREE.

SO, THIS IS VERY SPECIFIC.

IT STATES IN DANIEL 7:8 THAT THE LITTLE HORN WILL UPROOT THREE KINGS, ALSO IN DANIEL 7:24.

DANIEL 7:24

SO, WE’RE GOING TO WATCH ALL OF THIS.

THIS IS ACTUALLY GOING TO HAPPEN.

IT WILL APPEAR IN OUR NEWS.

AND IF WE’RE WATCHING IT, THERE’S GOING TO COME A POINT AT WHICH WE’RE GOING TO KNOW POSITIVELY THAT THE ANTICHRIST HAS NOW BEEN REVEALED.

THE SCRIPTURE ALSO SAYS IN DANIEL 8:25 THAT THE ANTICHRIST IS GOING TO USE PEACE AS A WEAPON.

THIS IS INTERESTING.

THE SCRIPTURE SAYS THE ANTICHRIST WILL, BY PEACE, DESTROY MANY.

USING PEACE TO DESTROY.

HOW COULD THAT WORK?

WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN IT HAPPEN MANY TIMES.

IN THE NAME OF PEACE, MAKE WAR.

WE KNOW THE UNITED NATIONS HAS PEACEKEEPING FORCES THAT GO IN AND WAGE WAR AGAINST COUNTRIES UNDER THE GUISE OF WE’RE HERE TO MAKE PEACE.

SOMETIMES IF YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE PEACE, YOU HAVE TO MAKE PEACE.

SO, CONSEQUENTLY, THE ANTICHRIST IS GOING TO BE A PEACEMAKER.

THE SIXTH CLUE WE HAVE TO THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST IS FOUND IN DANIEL 7:20.

THE BIBLE SAYS THERE THAT HIS LOOK WILL BE MORE STOUT THAN HIS FELLOWS.

AND THEN IN CHAPTER 8 OF DANIEL, VERSE 23, THE BIBLE CALLS HIM A KING OF FIERCE COUNTENANCE.

NOW, HOW DO YOU INTERPRET THIS?

I DON’T KNOW, IT JUST SIMPLY SAYS THAT HIS LOOK WILL BE MORE STOUT THAN HIS FELLOWS.

AND THEN IT SAYS HE WILL BE OF FIERCE COUNTENANCE.

I SUPPOSE WE’RE GOING TO RECOGNIZE IT WHEN WE SEE IT.

UNTIL THEN WE’LL HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

NOW, THE BIBLE ALSO TELLS US THAT THE ANTICHRIST WILL CLAIM TO BE GOD.

A MAN, A POLITICIAN, IS GOING TO END UP CLAIMING TO BE GOD.

HOW WILL HE SAY IT?

I DON’T KNOW.

HOWEVER, THE BIBLE TELLS US IN SECOND THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 2, VERSES 3 AND 4.II THESSALONIANS 2:3-4

WILL HE SAY, “I’M THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY HERE ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT,” OR WILL HE SAY “I’M YOUR MESSIAH,” OR WILL HE COME RIGHT OUT AND SAY, “I AM GOD, NOW I RULE THE WORLD?”

WE DON’T KNOW THAT FOR SURE.

BUT HE, IN SOME WAY, IS GOING TO DO THAT.

NOW, THIS EVENT IS CALLED THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION.

AND THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION HAPPENS HALFWAY THROUGH THE FINAL SEVEN-YEAR PERIOD.

IT HAPPENS THREE AND ONE-HALF YEARS BEFORE THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON.

IT’S ALSO THE EVENT THAT TRIGGERS THE GREAT TRIBULATION.

AND THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION IS THE REVEALING OF THE ANTICHRIST.

REMEMBER, THE APOSTLE PAUL SAID IT RIGHT HERE IN SECOND THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 2, VERSE 3, THEN SHALL THAT MAN OF SIN, THE SON OF PERDITION, BE REVEALED.

WHEN WE SEE A MAN STAND ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT CLAIMING TO BE THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY THERE, OR CLAIMING TO BE THE MESSIAH, OR SOMEHOW IMPLYING THAT HE, HIMSELF, IS GOD;

WHEN WE SEE THAT EVENT, THEN WE WILL KNOW FOR POSITIVE, THAT PERSON, THAT MAN IS THE ANTICHRIST.

NOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE SO DECEPTIVE ABOUT THE ANTICHRIST IS THAT HE WILL BE REGARDED AS BEING BRILLIANT.

DANIEL 7:8 SAYS HE WILL HAVE A “MOUTH SPEAKING GREAT THINGS.”

DANIEL 8:23 DESCRIBES HIM AS UNDERSTANDING DARK SENTENCES.

FURTHERMORE, THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT HE WILL BE A PERSECUTOR OF GOD’S TRUE PEOPLE.

WHEN POPE JOHN PAUL II WAS ON HIS DEATH BED, THERE WAS ACTUALLY AN ARTICLE WRITTEN BY A MAN FROM INDIA.

I HAVE A COPY OF IT.

THE DAY BEFORE THE CARDINALS WENT TO CONCLAVE IN THE SISTINE CHAPEL TO ELECT A NEW POPE, POPE JOHN PAUL II HAD JUST DIED.

THIS MAN WROTE THIS ARTICLE TO THE PRELATES, SAYING PLEASE, DON’T ELECT ANYONE THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE OLIVE BECAUSE IF YOU DO, ALL THE ENDTIME NUTS ARE GOING TO COME OUT OF THE WOODWORK AND THEY’RE GOING TO CLAIM THAT THIS IS THE 111TH POPE AND THERE’S ONLY ONE POPE LEFT.

WELL, THE CARDINALS WENT INTO CONCLAVE AND VERY QUICKLY THEY ELECTED A NEW POPE, CARDINAL JOSEPH RATZINGER FROM GERMANY.

HOWEVER, IT’S ALWAYS THE POLICY WHEN A NEW POPE IS ELECTED THAT HE CHOOSES THE NAME UNDER WHICH HE WILL RULE.

HE DOESN’T RULE UNDER RATZINGER.

HE CHOOSES A NAME OF SOME FAMOUS PREDECESSOR.

MANY HAVE CHOSEN PIUS, MANY HAVE CHOSEN JOHN, MANY HAVE CHOSEN PAUL.

WELL, 15 OF THEM HAVE CHOSEN THE NAME POPE BENEDICT.

WHEN THIS NEW POPE, JOSEPH RATZINGER, ANNOUNCED THE NAME HE WOULD CHOOSE FOR HIS PAPACY, HE CHOSE POPE BENEDICT XVI.

EVERYBODY WONDERED WHY POPE BENEDICT XVI?

A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT OF NUMEROUS REASONS WHY

BUT WHEN YOU GO BACK TO THE FIRST BENEDICT, THE ONE WHO MADE THE NAME BENEDICT FAMOUS, HE WAS THE PATRON SAINT OF EUROPE.

NOT ONLY THAT, HE BECAME THE FATHER OF THE BENEDICTINE ORDER.

NOW, THE BENEDICTINE ORDER HAS A SYMBOL.

THERE’S A SPECIAL GROUP CALLED THE OLIVETANS AND THIS SPECIAL GROUP HAS A SYMBOL.

THESE BENEDICTINES HAVE A SYMBOL.

WHAT IS IT

THE OLIVE.

WAIT A MINUTE, THE SYMBOL GIVEN BACK IN THE ELEVENTH CENTURY WAS THE GLORY OF THE OLIVE FOR THE IDENTITY OF THE NEXT TO THE LAST POPE.

SO THEN, WE HAVE TO ASK, COULD THE NEXT POPE BE THE LAST POPE

NOW, THE CLUE GIVEN BY SAINT MALACHY WAS THAT THE LAST POPE WOULD BE PETER THE ROMAN.

NOW, THAT’S THE CLUE.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

WHO KNOWS.

UP UNTIL NOW NO POPE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING HAS DARED TAKE THE NAME PETER BECAUSE CATHOLICS BELIEVE THAT THE FIRST POPE WAS PETER.

AND THEY HOLD HIM IN SUCH HIGH REGARD THAT NO POPE HAS EVER DARED TAKE THAT NAME TO HIMSELF.

COULD THIS LAST POPE DECIDE IT’S TIME FOR POPE PETER II?

I DON’T KNOW.

BUT ANYWAY THE CLUE GIVEN IS PETER THE ROMAN.

SAINT MALACHY’S PROPHECY, I CAN’T TELL YOU.

IT’S NOT ON THE SAME LEVEL AS SCRIPTURE, SO I CAN’T TELL YOU FOR SURE ABOUT IT.

ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT THIS IS WHAT HE SAID AND I’VE TOLD YOU WHAT THE BIBLE HAS TO SAY.

IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING IS COMING TOGETHER RIGHT NOW. I GUESS WE’LL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE.

OKAY, FINALLY, REVELATION 19:19-20 TELLS US THAT JESUS CHRIST WILL DESTROY THE ANTICHRIST AND FALSE PROPHET AT HIS SECOND COMING.

LET’S READ IT.

REVELATION 19:19-20

SO, WE SEE FROM THIS SCRIPTURE THAT JESUS CHRIST, WHEN HE RETURNS, WILL TAKE ON THE ANTICHRIST AND THE FALSE PROPHET — THE POLITICAL LEADER OF THE WORLD AND THE SPIRITUAL LEADER OF THE WORLD, AND WILL CAST THEM BOTH INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.

AND THAT’S WHEN WE’RE GOING TO CROWN JESUS CHRIST KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS

THAT WILL MARK THE BEGINNING OF HIS KINGDOM

NOW, THESE TWO RULERS, THE ANTICHRIST AND THE FALSE PROPHET THAT WE’VE BEEN STUDYING, i'm SURE THEY’RE BOTH ON THE EARTH RIGHT NOW

ALL THE PROPHECIES ARE CONVERGING TOGETHER; WE’RE TOO FAR ADVANCED IN PROPHETIC FULFILLMENTS FOR THEM NOT TO BE ALIVE ON THE EARTH RIGHT NOW.

WE DON’T KNOW FOR SURE WHO THESE MEN ARE TODAY, BUT WE WILL KNOW BEFORE VERY LONG

IT’S TIME FOR ALL OF US TO PREPARE FOR THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS AND TO REALIZE WE ARE LIVING IN AN UNPRECEDENTED TIME

THE ANTICHRIST AND THE FALSE PROPHET ARE JUST AHEAD.
