REVELATION 17 Chapter continuation It is the time where we are living now, it helps us exactly what is happening, you can understand what the Scripture says and Christ says, I told you these things before they happen so that when it takes place you may believe,well you and I can read from the Scripture certain things in and you look at the news and you see the events happening, you can see how that is fulfilling the Scripture and so the Book of Revelation is a great great book to study and understand what is happening and taking place.I hope the Book of Revelation will become very very real to you. Today we are looking on the 10 kings -this 10 kings are consistently mentioned through out the Scripture, there they have definite part to play in the last days, so it si important that you and I understand who these 10 kings are, what theyre gonna do, how it fits together and thats what we are looking at today. There are 5 different powers that are mentioned, its very important that you and me identify each of these powers and see how they are involved in the last days particularly because we can know what is happening , whats taking place, and how this will all fit together in the last days, so we need to identify these 5 different powers , of course the one that we are going to take a look at in particular are the 10 kings, we need to know who those 10 kings are, what they are doing, what is happening , what is taking place with them, we need to understand who exactly the 10 kings are. Another power that we talked about and weve identified before but we need to make sure we know what we are talking about here and that is the BEAST which the Scripture identified as that of Papal Rome that we will be looking because we got it see what is the Beast relationship to the 10 KINGS.Is there a relationship? how does this fit together? we also have to know who is the HARLOT OR THE BABYLON? we have to identify Babylon clearly as we know when the Scripture speaking about ,what is the difference between Babylon and the Beast? So we got to 10 Kings,Beast,and the Babylon,those 3 different powers and we want to see how they relate with one another, then we have the False Prophet which the Scripture identifies and find in our study that the False Prophet which the Scripture identifies and find in the study that False Prophet is the United States. So now weve got to see how the Beast and False Prophet fit into all these and how it all comes together.These are all different that are involved and of course last of all weve got to take a look at the Lamb, the LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF KINGS, how does that come together. Those are the 5 different powers. REVELATION 17;12-13 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. -This Beast has 10 horns,very important text , it says theyve received no kingdom as yet, that they received authority for 1 hour, one hour means very short time. -when it talks about 10 Kings number 10 used in Scripture many times to represent total ,more than and actual number of 10 could be a number of kings all coming together and working together.But those are the 10 kings and they received authority for 1 hour with the Beast, so theyre gonna be involved here with the Beast. -then it says one mind, it does not mean these 10 Kings are gonna come in , there is gonna be one , it doesnt mean that.It means that there will be a number of them but they will work together, they will be one mind, they will work together that doesn;t mean theyre just one gingnam,It means they are many kingdoms but they are working together , they are one mind,and they give authority to the Beast, rather interesting observation here, when it says,they give their authority to the Beast.Please notice they dont give it to the woman who is riding the beast,they give their authority to the Beast. REVELATION 17;17 For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority, until Gods words are fulfilled. -So God says Ok I will let them fulfill my purpose, alright to be one mind working together and give their kingdom to the Beast until the Word of God are fulfilled.When it says the WORD are fulfilled means clear up to the end into the coming of Christ. So these are the things that are happening in the last day , thats what they are involve with. -Now 10 KINGS has been used over and over through the Scripture , time and time again you go to DANIEL 2:44 It talked about the image there they have 10 toes and tells clearly in the Scripture that it represents the number 10 meaning total more just the number 10.So the 10 toes means 10 Kings. DANIEL 7:24 You have the Beast with 10 horns, these 10 horns are 10 Kings then move on to REVELATION 12;3 Talked about the Dragon 10 horn on it which it says represent 10 Kings, again REVELATION 17;12 All those cases, talking about same power, taking about the same 10 Kings.It is consistent all the way through the Scripture.It is not talking something over these, and something over here.It is the same 10 Kings all the way through.And those 10 KiNGS makes very clear had to be in Western Europe and they where made up of Gemanic tribes that came down and over ran the Romanic Empire and they were such Kingdoms at the Anglo-Saxon . -This will become very very important, so watch carefully because these nations of Western Europe all these tribes becomes the nations of Western Europe they become such as countries as GERMANY, ITALY,FRANCE,ENGLAND,ANGLO -SAXON became the English, the Franks became French,and so forth , they became the nations of Western Europe. -So when it talks about the 10 KINGS in Western Europe , so those are the one that are involved here these 10 kings will play will play a major role in the last days, now back in 1991 the common market as it was referred to back then , today it is known as the EUROPEAN UNION was just getting started and even though it was just starting the London telegraph came out with this statement , I want you to read. IF EUROPEAN FEDERALISM TRIUMPHS,THE EUROPEAN UNION WILL INDEED BE AN EMPIRE,IT WILL LACK AN EMPEROR;BUT IT WILL HAVE THE POPE,IT IS DIFFICULT NOT TO THINK THAT WOJTYLA REALIZES THIS. Source ( the Sunday telegraph,London, Aug.25,1991) another word they are saying then 10 Kings gonna make up an empire and it will be very much involved with the Pope, this 10 Kings will give their authority to the Beast, Begin to put it together as to what is going on now, now read carefully. Revelation 1717 For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority, until Gods words are fulfilled. -that means these nations are gonna come together and they are gonna work together,and we find that is exactly what is happening.You go over there today when you move , we dont understand it because we went through this 200 years ago where you know we decided that were all gonna work together and so we have all the states and they all work together but that was not the case in Europe,these are countries, all different countries, so when all of a sudden put together a EUROPEAN UNION,you got major problems, what would you consider one of the big problem first 1) they speak different languages that is major problem 20weight and measures in all that had to be worked out money all had different currency all those were major problems that they had worked out.But today you go over there , you can drive across ENGLAND AND FRANK AND GERMANY and all through there and it seems to be working, they are of one mind, okey , working together gave their kingdom to the Beast until the Words od God are fulfilled. I will post later the pictures, that we will talk here. The poster for community or European Union and that is the stars that at that time, I dont know now the number of Nations that are together, but there are far more than 10, you must notice what it says, They are Europe many tongues, one voice .See they are working together, well I want you to take a look the poster I will post later, the headquarters for EUROPEAN UNION, thats where the 10 Kings are all involved EUROPEAN UNION, The picture that I will post later that is outside their headquarters, you will see what is there, you have a woman riding the beast, that is what they used to represent them, this woman riding the Beast , they even have it in their money, so you have that exactly what is taking place there today, we must understand that today this is a major player, a major power in the world because this have the largest army in the world.The Euro is right there as far as the $ is concerned, In fact there is some countries that are Israel who stopped taking the $ and start transferring all to Euro , you have this, so these are major factors in the world today which they are there so these are the 10 kings. THE BEAST (PAPAL ROME) We have found here in REVELATION 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. - Well we found out this represents Papal Rome , we identified that the Scripture gives 8 points of identification and we look at those and identified it clearly in the previous study of this Chapter, Okay what part is it playing with the 10 Kings? REVELATION 17;3 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. Is there anything happening today that begins to show that things going that way? Pope Benedict XV1 urged the European Union not to forget its (catholic ) Christian roots as he received the EUROPEAN UNIONS new envoy to the Vatican on Monday October 19, 2009. Look what he wants to say. EUROPE WILL NOT TRULY BE HERSELF IF SHE CANNOT KEEP THE ORIGINALITY THAT MADE HER GREAT, THE POPE SAID ,HE ENCOURAGE THE CONTINENT TO PROMOTE THE HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT OF PEOPLE THAT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH CONSIDERS TO BE THE ONLY WAY TO REMEDY IMBALANCES PRESENT IN OUR WORLD.THE POPE ALSO SAID,HE WAS PLEASED AT THE EXCELLENT RELATIONS BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE HOLY SEE, AND THE CHURCH WANTED TO HELP IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE EUROPEAN UNION. -Now you gotta understand what it means when he says originality. - let me assure you they have very very much have a hand in what is going on, when it says, they will give their powers and authority to that of the Beast, there is movements taking place today for that, you need to understand the political background and what is happening here,to put it together. Please read under statement from Charles Malik , he was the ambassador to the United States of America /Lebanon, he taught at Harvard very much envolved in the United Nations , what went on there. THE ONLY HOPE FOR THE WESTERN WORLD LIES IN AN ALLIANCE BETWEEN ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH WHICH IS THE MOST COMMONLY, INFLUENCIAL, CONTROLLING, UNIFYING ELEMENT IN EUROPE AND THE EASTERN ORTHODOX CHURCH, ROME MUST UNITE WITH EASTERN OTHODOXY. -Did you get that? Roman Catholic Church which is the most common influencial , controlling, unifying element in Europe and the Eastern orthodox church, Rome must unite with Eastern orthodoxy, why? -Because the Eastern Orthodox church controls western middle east in of the Mediterranean, and if they dont solidify that control , Islam will march across Europe, Islam is political, listen here, the only hope for the Western world in united Europe under the control of the Pope and then all promising Christians around the globe must come into submission to the Pope, so we will have a unified Christian world, so now, we see what he is saying , he is saying that the Roman Catholic church and the EASTERN Orthodox church controls Western Europe . BABYLON ( HARLOT) You have to understand when we talk about Babylon that Babylon is a system , a religious system and its not just one, its uniting of several and that region is called Babylon because it is confusion. REVELATION 17;3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. -The woman is riding on the beast, when a woman is sitting on something that means she is in control. REVELATION 17;5 And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. - She is the mother of Harlot REVELATION 17;6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. -The woman is not in accord with the Scripture, she is not in the same league as with the Lord, she is in opposition to it and you dont have to be when I say opposition , that doesnt mean you dont have to be non religious, you can be religious and be opposition, need to understand that,and she is.She is religious, she is a spiritual power, but she is certainly not keeping with the WORD OF GOD.then he said REVELATION 17;15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. -If she is in the water that means she is controlling the people, nations, tongues and the 10 HORNS which you saw on the BEAST these will hate the HARLOT, make desperate and naked eat her flesh and burned her with fire. -now here you have these 10 Horns that have given her their power and authority and now the Scripture say it,they turn against her and hate her and burn her with fire. - so there is going to be a total change in the mindset , here about these 10 KINGS . REVELATION 17;17 For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority, until Gods words are fulfilled.- - When the Scripture speaks as Babylon as a city thats the same as the woman there.no difference between the woman and the city that is still Babylon, so she is the GREAT CITY, you need to have clear that in your mind. REVELATION 16;13 Then I saw three impure spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. -So we here have 3 frogs coming out at this 3 , BEAST, DRAGON, FALSE PROPHET for they are the spirit of demons performing signs which go out to the kingdom of the earth and the whole world to gather them. REVELATION 16;14 They are demonic spirits that perform signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty. -So here we have 3 powers, DRAGON, BEAST, FALSE PROPHET, Out of their mouth is going frogs , they are demons that are deceiving the whole world. REVELATION 16;19 The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath. -SO you have the city divided into 3 parts and the reason for that because you have DRAGON, BEAST AND FALSE PROPHET, those are the 3 parts DRAGON ( Paganism), BEAST (Catholicism), FALSE PROPHET ( Protestantism) that at a time was given the grace Of God and preach the Word of God and followed it.But in the last days has given up and no longer stands of what their original father stood for and fought for,they are given it up, so Babylon which is spiritual power not political power.If it is spiritual church power always used feminine she/her then He for civil power , so you have those 2 and divided the kingdom in 3 parts and the 10 Horns which you saw in the BEAST those will hate the HARLOT . What is happening if she is taking over civil power, she is riding on the BEAST, or she is sitting on the waters or she said she is that city, it saying that she has a spiritual power, has taken over civil power, but please notice, that these 10 KINGS did not give to the woman their authority, they give it to the BEAST. -You see a church power or spiritual power has never had the power to execute things, -church power has always had to use a civil power to carry out their operation and even Rome the Papal Power. -You didnt find the Papal Power do in any of that you find her using civil power to accomplish her purpose, and so here the 10 KINGS have given their power and authority to the BEAST. -When Babylon falls when Babylon is not doing what she promised them,that she would do .They hate and burned her with fire they have nothing to do with her because all the things that she promised have not happened, have not taken place this is why it happened here. REVELATION 16;12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East. -Now WATER represents PEOPLE, TONGUES AND NATIONS, okay it says, Euphrates which dried up, well you can make more comparisons here. -If you go back to Babylon of old,Babylon of old through the river flowed or through the city flow the river Euphrates and Cyprus came remember? and the people even crawl on the wall and threw food at him and laugh at him took his army down and they diverted the river of Euphrates into canals and they get inside the city of Babylon SO it is saying here on the last days the water will be dried up, what he is talking about here? -He is talking about the opposition od being that is be into God and His Kingdom all that is dried up, the water is dried upon , the people all those that were in opposition , the woman and what she has done, she is hated, she is burned with fire, she is done away with that,drying out the Euphrates the way of the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS might be prepared in when John is talking about the King of the EAST he is referring it to the coming of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, so the RIVER IS DRIED UP IN PREPARATION FOR THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST. REVELATION 16;15 Look, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed. - So he said clearly this is right there the same chapter that this would be the coming of JESUS CHRIST. -the KINGS by the way , the word kings is plural, -refers to more than one so why would use more than one hereconcerning the coming of Jesus Christ? the answer is very simple because you and me are kings that ehat the Scripture says. REVELATION 5;10 AND HAVE MADE US KINGS AND PRIEST OF OUR GOD;AND WE SHALL REIGN ON THE EARTH. And so when it says that would prepare the way for the KINGS OF THE EAST IS REFERRING TO THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST. FALSE PROPHET (USA) REVELATION 13;12 It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. Interesting we have the 10 KINGS given their power and authority to the BEAST and now we have this power the False Prophet if you please given his power and authority to the beast. REVELATION 13;13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. REVELATION 13;14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. -He ;s been able this False Prophet to deceived the world and doing something -he gonna make an image to the Beast wounded by the sword and live. REVELATION 13;15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. -He has done great signs, the people have turned to him believing and he told them they need to make an image to the Beast. The Beast power stands for what? Well the woman riding the Beast which means when you have the woman riding on the beast you have UNIFICATION of the CHURCH ANS STATE, So if this gonna make an image to the Beast , you ll gonna make like the Beast , so youve got to have UNION OF CHURCH AND STATE coming together and says that False Prophet is the one that will give impetus to this, to bring it about then REVELATION 19;20 But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. So it is telling it clearly that the US would be for most in pulling it together, bring it in this union together and which all of this is to work together and do what they think and promised it will do. In our time its coming , we have a Supreme court , we have 9 justices 5 are Roman Catholic , sad to say there is non Protestant in the whole group, Roman Catholic do you understand?THE POWER OT THIS PEOPLE HAVE? THEY HOLD THE LITERALLY HOLD THE POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH.That is what they hold.So we find that one particular thing after another is moving us , step by step , closer and closer to this whole thing coming together , the time in which we live today. REVELATION 13;5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. -WHEN jOHN USING THE WORD SPeak AND CAUSE, speak legislation and cause means enforcement -so it is telling that it is literally legislated and will be enforced this is how the image to the beast is set up and it says that we will give life to the image of the Beast meaning its gonna come to life,it will be enforced so you and I as time goes by we can watch more and more the encroachment of the church unto political power and that aer already in our day and age in which we living now. THE LAMB JESUS CHRIST THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS REVELATION 17;14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful. -Now these 10 KINGS, THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET they will make war with the LAMB,it is not physical works,it means they will teach in opposition to what God teaches, I just cant emphasize enough thatw e must follow what the Bible teaches us and if you are not spending time in the WORD OF GOD you are putting your soul in jeopardy, You need to know what is written in the Bible, we need to know what it says because that is our defense and hope and when it says they will make war with the Lamb, it make sit clear that they are drunk with the wine of Roman Babylon and therefore they are going to teach contrary to Gods WORD.Everything should ring true to the WORD OF GOD.The Lamb will overcome them REVELATION 11;5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die. REVELATION 21;3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. -MARVELOUS God gonna come and He is gonna live here, the Tabernacle of God is here with man, wonderful! the universe is way much better than we thought.THE lORD MADE A COVENANT WITH US I WILL BE YOUR GOD AND YOU SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. Friends, Please open read , study and keep the Word of God, that will set you free and be with God in the new Jerusalem that is the most wonderful promised of God to all of us who will received Him, follow, obey and walk with Him.May God add His blessings to His WORD, BLESS YOU ALL AND PROTECT ALL OF US.
