Four Pictures of Prophecy, and the Great Dictator to Come
Volume 3 A Book on Bible Prophecy
by Ernest Angley
March 1990
Through Daniel, God gave amazing prophecies. He told of world kingdoms to come, the last to be headed by the Antichrist in the period of Great Tribulation. Much of Daniel’s prophecy has already been fulfilled, and all of it will be fulfilled.
In the second booklet in this series on Bible prophecy, I discussed Daniel’s four pictures of prophecy of world kingdoms. The prophecies are so important to us today, that I have set aside a third booklet to review and elaborate further on them. The four vivid pictures portraying world powers in Daniel stretch from Judah’s captivity in Babylon until the setting up of our Master’s Kingdom at the end of the Tribulation Period. The Gentile age is spelled out, including the world powers that will operate. Eight kingdoms in all are mentioned in Bible prophecy. Six have fallen and two more are yet to come. (Daniel also speaks of two world kingdoms that existed before his time: Assyria and Egypt.)
The first picture is found in the second chapter of Daniel, an image, head of gold; breast and arms of silver; belly and thighs of brass; legs of iron; feet, part iron and part clay. This image depicts all the nations that will hold world power from the time of Daniel until the very end when Christ will set up His Kingdom.
The head of gold in this first world picture represents the third world kingdom of Babylon, a continuation of the world-power system set up by Lucifer to dethrone and destroy all faith in God, to wipe all holy living from the face of the earth. The image’s chest and arms of silver represent the fourth kingdom Medo-Persia—two nations, one stronger than the other, ruling together, a world-wide kingdom. The belly and thighs represent Greece under Alexander the Great, kingdom five. Then came the sixth kingdom, the Roman Empire’s legs of iron corresponding to the divided Eastern and Western kingdoms, with the feet and toes representing the revived Roman Empire yet to come in the seventh kingdom. The Roman kingdom will be revived according to the Word of God, the ten toes representing the Common Market. The nations of the Common Market will help bring about world dominion. Five individual toes on each foot indicate separation, so evidently there will be a division between the ten nations, just as there was an Eastern and Western division in the original Roman Empire. What this kingdom will eventually be called we don’t know; we just know it is the revived Roman Empire, that the nations represented by the ten toes are coming to power in our day just as God said they would in His Holy Word. The Common Market is getting ready to take its brief place in infamy.
The eighth kingdom is that of the Antichrist. Evidence of him is everywhere on the earth today as he moves to bring about his kingdom in the Tribulation Period. The Antichrist’s kingdom will be destroyed after seven years by the stone hewed out of the mountain, Jesus Christ, the last aspect of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream.
The second picture of prophecy found in the fourth chapter of Daniel is the great tree of power. Daniel interprets this as representing Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon who after growing very powerful in the world was to be cut down and only a stump left until after seven years he acknowledged God as supreme.
Belshazzar’s feast and the handwriting on the wall comprise the third picture, the handwriting of Babylon’s downfall and the rise of the Medo-Persians.
Contained in the seventh chapter of Daniel is the fourth picture, the four beasts, again representing four world empires. Follow these four pictures, and you will find four related prophecies.
The Four Beasts
We read in the seventh chapter of Daniel: In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters. Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea (Daniel 7:1,2). In prophecy, the sea represents nations. The four winds of heaven represent the Spirit of God moving not upon water but upon a sea of humanity, a sea of nations. And four great beasts [four kingdoms] came up from the sea, diverse one from another (verse 3). Here we have the fourth picture painted by the Spirit of God, revealing to Daniel world kingdoms. God carefully presented prophecies of world kingdoms four different times in this short book to show us how essential it is to understand about these kingdoms, to identify them and to recognize the two that are forming today.
Babylon, the Lion
The first [kingdom of Babylon] was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it (Daniel 7:4). The two wings of the lion of Babylon represent the speed with which she carried out her conquest. When the wings were plucked out, the power of Babylon was taken away, lifted up from the earth and finally destroyed.
Medo-Persia, the Bear
And behold another beast [Medo-Persia], a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh (Daniel 7:5). The bear with three ribs in its mouth represents the kingdom of the Medes and Persians. The bear raising higher on one side represents the Persian kingdom, greater in power than the Medes. The three ribs in the teeth of the bear signified that he had destroyed three kingdoms before him.
Greece, the Leopard
Verse 6, tells of the third beast in the form of a leopard, symbolizing the Grecian army under Alexander the Great: And after this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard [Greece], which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it (Daniel 7:6). Again the four wings on the back stand for swiftness, speed. Quickly Alexander conquered, but he didn’t rule very long. Still a young man, Alexander lost his life, and then four of his generals took over, the four heads. The generals governed until Greece was defeated by the Romans.
Roman Empire, the Original and the Revived
After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast [Roman Empire], dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth (Daniel 7:7). Now we are back to the iron representing the Roman Empire. The dominion of the Roman Empire, interrupted for many, many years, will be revived in the last days. It devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns (verse 7). Here again are the ten nations coming forth, the ten horns corresponding to the ten toes of the image in Daniel 2, and sometimes represented by ten crowns. It all refers to a confederation of ten kingdoms or the Common Market of our day which will have ten nations when it takes world control. The ten horns of this beast, the ten kingdoms, are a world dominating form of the evil influence and power that has existed since the tower of Babel. This evil influence will rage uncontrollably during the Tribulation Period as the Antichrist rules worldwide for seven years. Such great power will be exerted that the time will come when no one can buy or sell without the mark of the beast, the Antichrist. Taking that mark will be the same as selling your soul to the devil, for it means worshiping the Antichrist. It’s incredible to think that this coming world takeover could really happen in our day, but it will.
The first Roman Empire treated the Christians horribly, put them into arenas with wild beasts, crucified them. Thousands were killed. On a visit to Rome, I sat in the Colosseum, pondering the horror of Christian martyrs being slaughtered by wild animals. I went to the catacombs, a fearful place where easily one could become lost and never found again. An intricate network of passages remains in which the early Christians were forced to hide away. What a great price has been paid for our liberty in the Gospel!
The Roman territory was like an empire ruled by the devil himself. This is the kingdom that is going to be revived. As the tyranny in the Tribulation grows stronger, it will be woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth.
These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth. But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever (Daniel 7:17,18).
The Common Market Nations
The events of today are laying the groundwork for the ten nations that will ultimately make up the Common Market. According to the 1957 Treaty of Rome, member countries set forth a time table in which to establish a common market. This time table was met in 1969. We don’t know at this writing which nations will make up the final membership; there will be some jockeying back and forth until the number settles at ten. God’s prophecies say ten horns, ten crowns, ten kingdoms.
The Common Market is now referred to as the European Economic Community, the EEC. Greece entered the EEC in January 1981 and the expansion southward is expected to continue. At this writing, the total population of the Common Market nations is 270,000,000 people. Bible prophecy is being fulfilled before our very eyes, coming to life in our day.
Just as surely as the ancient world systems came to power, the Antichrist will come to power. Just as Babylon fell—the Medes, the Persians, Greeks and the Romans—the Antichrist’s kingdom will fall, also. Great distress is ahead for the nations, with chaos exploding everywhere. Jesus tells us in Luke 21:25 that in the last days there shall be upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring. The sea, remember, is the nations. They can’t get along, can’t agree. Even within our own nation, disagreements are rampant; our nation is divided. The only hope I see for mankind is being ready to get out of here, to be taken up with Jesus at His second coming.
Read whatever you can about the Common Market. It’s a barometer of the times. Jeane Kirkpatrick’s article Europe Is Drifting from the United States is excellent.
As the Common Market nations come together, the world will soon see the little horn of prophecy, the Antichrist. He is no doubt on planet Earth today. I feel he was born in the late sixties, for the earth has never been the same since that time. Something evil happened then; it was a takeover by Lucifer. The spirit of the devil has destroyed many of our youth through suicide, drugs, and alcohol. Homes have been broken up. The unbelief in God, the unrest on the earth is terrible to behold. Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof is prevalent.
Not only is the EEC coming together now, but also the world church, founded on apostasy and made up of many denominations. Influential religious leaders have left God out of their programs: but while they are forming the world church, God’s people are coming together in the spirit of unity, faith and love; redemption draweth nigh for the children of God. Pure and clean living is required, believing in the blood of Jesus, the miracles of Jesus and the power of the Holy Ghost, the power to cast out devils, the power of God to heal the sick, and the greatness of God today. Many church leaders have robbed Jesus of His glory, stripped Him of His power as they present a helpless Christ, one whose works they strive to take over themselves. Religion has become just a form rather than the reality of trusting in God’s saving grace through the blood of Jesus. It’s time for us to be alert, to wake up, to know the hour in which we live.
The Rapture to Close the Gentile Age
The Gentile dispensation will end with the second coming of Jesus when the Bride of Christ is taken from the earth. Just as the Bible calls the Holy Land the glorious land, the devout Gentile body of Christ is called the glorious church. In a moment, in a twinkling of an eye she will be changed, caught away to be with the Lord forever. The Holy Spirit is here now to get a Gentile Bride ready for Jesus.
In midair, Jesus is coming after His children, the glorious church without spot or wrinkle. I Thessalonians 4:14-17 tells us, For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. A voice will go forth so loud that the dead in Christ will come out of their graves, and we that are alive will be instantly changed.
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (I Corinthians 15:51,52). The Rapture will close the Gentile age and usher in seven years of Great Tribulation, culminating in the Battle of Armageddon.
Seven Months to Bury the Dead
The Bible tells us that in the latter days Russia will come by storm to cover Israel like a cloud, to take a spoil, and to take a prey. But God’s fury will rise against them. In Ezekiel 39:2 we read that God says to Russia, And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee. Only one sixth of the Russian army and her allies will be left alive. The devastation will be so great that it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog [Russia] a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog. And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land (Ezekiel 39:11,12).
Russia’s leader is courting the nations now; the spirit of the devil is working through him, the spirit of Antichrist. Russia does not want peace. Russia wants to rule the world, to be the world power; but her destiny is written in the Word of God. She is on her way to the graves of Israel.
Other nations are aligning with Russia. This is just a part of their separating from us—it’s according to the Word of God. Many want us to reach out to Russia, to sign arms agreements; but if we do, we will be taking the spirit of the Antichrist for an ally. There will be no peace with Russia. The more agreeable she seems, the more deadly she becomes; for nations, believing her cries of peace, will be destroyed with her in Israel.
The Bible refers to Russia as king of the North.In studying prophecy you will notice that Israel, according to the Bible, is the geographic center of the world. When God talks of the kings of the North, of the South, of the East, He is using Israel as the focal point. Israel is God’s land.
Russia, seemingly against anyone and everyone who is for the Jewish nation, is not offering real peace to us. Ex-president Reagan seemed to be more aware of this than most, but he was forced into seeking peace with Russia. It’s a losing battle. We are foolish to make concessions with her. Trusting Russia is like trusting the devil himself to take care of you.
Why would anyone ever believe that peace is coming through Russia? One need only to look at her record; but in spite of it, a British poll found people in England have greater confidence in Russia than they have in the United States. As long as you let the devil fool you, deceive you by listening to those who are going to “bring peace to the earth,” you will not be ready for the coming of the Lord. There will be no lasting peace until Jesus the Prince of Peace comes to set up His Kingdom. Until that time, the peace that men embrace will be false. Don’t yield to the peace of the world. It has no substance.
Types and Shadows of Tribulation
It’s amazing how quickly the nations are changing, reaching to Russia and turning from the United States. Most of those nations wouldn’t be in existence today if it weren’t for the United States. We have given and given, sacrificed foreign aid, billions of dollars to help other countries; and they spit in our face. They got what they wanted and they are finished with us. Had it not been for the United States, Hitler would have swallowed Europe and who knows what else. He was going fast; he would have swept them all in. Some people thought he was the Antichrist; no, but he was a good representative, a good type and shadow.
World War II brought other types and shadows of the Tribulation Period, the rationing books, for example. One couldn’t buy food, gasoline or other commodities without a ration stamp—a type and shadow of the mark of the beast.
One day, we read in the thirteenth chapter of Revelation, people will not be able to buy or sell without the mark of the beast, the mark of the number of his name, 666. You will become like a demon from hell if you take that mark. What will you do? Refuse the mark and starve to death? Unless you have Jesus in your heart, you still wouldn’t go to Heaven.
It’s going to be hard to find God in the Tribulation Period. There is just one flight out, the Rapture. If you miss it, you will be in the Great Tribulation, to die, be killed or somehow live through while enduring incredible suffering. Seven years…what torture, what torment, what judgment of God will be rained down on the beast and those who worship him! The earth has never seen the wrath of God the way it will be poured out then. The Book of Revelation is the most fearful book of the whole Bible.
The Antichrist
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 (Daniel 7:8). The little horn is the Antichrist. Keep in mind that three of the ten horns—or three of the nations—are plucked up by their roots. The Antichrist will overthrow them.
Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell [Again Daniel tells of the three fallen nations out of the confederation of ten.]; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given…And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws (Daniel 7:19-22,24,25). Now Daniel is speaking of the Antichrist who will seek to change times, laws, to destroy the calendar and everything that refers to God and Christ. It will be a great takeover by Lucifer.
As Daniel saw a little horn coming up and uprooting three horns—the Antichrist taking over three nations out of the ten—the other seven nations, filled with fear, were weakened until they gave their power to him, to the beast, the Antichrist. The visions of the Tribulation Period that Daniel saw were so terrible that at one time he said this about them, And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king’s business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it (Daniel 8:27). If just seeing those visions made Daniel ill for days, think how actually living through them will be!
John the Revelator, in describing the Antichrist, tells us an amazing fact: And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast (Revelation 13:3). People will be saying, “Who is like the beast? He was dead and yet he lives!” How will people look upon a world leader who has been killed and then raised from the dead to continue his leadership? He will lie in state—then suddenly stand up before the people. Think how many multitudes will worship him, declare him to be divine, great. “Look, look! He was dead, and he has resurrected himself! Wounded to death, and yet he lives!”
The world is ready even now for anything the devil has to offer. Only the Word of God and belief in it are protection against the devil. The Word is your protection, your safety.
II Timothy 3:1-7, describes this hour: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves…Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof…Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Unfortunately, education is no protection from the power of the devil. He is wiser than educators, and he fills minds with selfishness, hypocrisy and greed. There is deliverance for those who want it, but many minds do not want to be delivered; they have been taken over by the devil.
After the Rapture, the Antichrist moves in. The little horn, the Antichrist, will make a covenant with the Jews for one week, or for seven years. Daniel 7:8 shows us how this little horn will push up, subduing the three kingdoms out of the ten and how the other seven will bow and give their power to him to keep from being destroyed. Nothing stops the Antichrist at this time. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many (Daniel 8:25). I say again, the peace the nations are talking about today is not the real peace of God but a false peace, a peace that cannot last.
The Antichrist’s Covenant
The Antichrist will make a covenant with the Jewish people, and for the first three-and-a-half years they will think he really is the Messiah, the Redeemer, the Promised One. They will be a happy, happy people. But then, in the middle of the week of seven years, the covenant will be broken as the Antichrist sets himself up in the temple of God as God. The eyes of the Jews will be opened at last, and the people will flee into the wilderness where God will provide a place of protection to hide them.
Some biblical scholars say God will hide the Jews in Jordanian Petra, but I don’t believe it. I have been to Petra, the city hewn out of rock. When God gets ready to hide someone He doesn’t have to put them into canyons. God doesn’t use man’s methods or ideas: He uses miraculous means that defy the logic of man. God, remember, protected Israel with a pillar of fire by night and a cloud by day. In whatever way God decides to protect the Jews, it will be through His miracle hand. The Jews could be ten feet away from the Antichrist and he would not be able to touch them.
The 144,000 Jews who will be sealed with the seal of the Living God are not meant to be preachers or soul winners. One modern writer claims they will bring multitudes into the Kingdom. The Bible does not say that. The Bible plainly tells us what is going to happen to the 144,000 Jews. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb (Revelation 14:4). God has a special plan. If you want to learn what God is revealing about prophecy, you must study the Bible carefully. In this hour God is giving knowledge, a great, beautiful revelation to His people so they can understand all that He told Daniel and realize what is happening today.
Almost Midnight
The spirit of Babylon will be destroyed. How God has hated that spirit! It began when the devil convinced man to join in with him, and is thriving yet today. The godlessness of the Antichrist has been and will be in all the world kingdoms; part of this system includes cults and the occult. Universities give more and more credibility to the psychic, Eastern mysticism, astrology, and witchcraft. The occult grows stronger each day as the world prepares to accept the kingdom of the Antichrist. Much of the occult appears innocent. Astrology charts in the daily papers seem harmless to many who follow them; but astrology is part of Lucifer’s plan, under his direction. It was the devil’s crowd who called astrologers the wise men of the kingdom. If no biblical reasons existed other than those found in the book of Daniel to shun astrology it would be enough. Astrology was practiced during the time of the building of the tower of Babel; all these thousands of years it has been with us. Today in ever greater ways, it is popular because we are coming to the end of the age. Out from under the rocks, astrologers are crawling, their babbling dressed up to sound wonderful.
Lukewarm Christians may accept astrology, even rely on it; but they are reaching for the devil, and he gladly draws them to his bosom. Your destiny is not written in the stars, but in Calvary through the blood of Jesus. Stars, planets do not influence you at birth. Your born-again experience is what counts. Jesus said, Ye must be born again (John 3:7). How you give your life to God determines your future. While all come into this world with the opportunity to yield to God, the devil deceives everyone he can. He has deceived many about astrology. If you have experimented with astrology for fun, you have toyed with the devil’s play-prettys.
It’s almost midnight now; the majority of Christians are asleep. They don’t know the hour in which they live; they have no idea what this end-time hour is all about. Many are stirred for a moment, but they find reality too unsettling, and they go back to their old paths, scoffing at the truth. The lukewarmness of churches is a part of that spirit.
God doesn’t force the light upon people; He just makes it available. You can douse the light of God or you can use it. If you use the light of God, your path will be plain and the Holy Ghost can prepare you for the coming of Jesus. If you don’t use the light of God, you will believe the devil when he whispers that sin is innocent, harmless—even noble. In the past it seems that those who didn’t serve God at least clung to good morals. No longer. Even Christians are affected by the laxity of the hour.
Dare to be a Daniel; stand up and be counted. If your children are doing wrong, stand against it; if you don’t, you will lose them. I’m glad my parents stood for God. They gave us the truth, told us what was sin and what was righteous, what would happen if we went to the left, and what would happen if we went to the right. They didn’t spare us. They warned us about unholy living, about sin. Night and day we were taught righteousness and holiness. This is the hour of opening your eyes to what is happening on the earth as the age fast draws to a close.
The Handwriting on Today’s Wall
After being hidden away during the seven years Tribulation, the children of God are coming back for the Perfect Age; the Bible says so. Can you read the handwriting on the wall? You must have God’s intelligence from His Holy Word. What does the handwriting say to you today? Lift up your eyes and ask for God’s intelligence to know what God is saying; look to God for understanding. Let God help you come to Him. You don’t know when the hand will write that final message to you, the message that will seal your doom. Don’t deceive yourself; the hand is writing.
If the hand were to write for you today, would it mean eternal death? Read the handwriting that tells of Jesus’ soon coming. Know the hour in which you live, know that the Antichrist is getting ready to make his appearance. The handwriting on the wall today says: Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh (Matthew 24:44).
Through the handwriting on the wall of our hearts, the voice of the Lord comes to us: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it [the Rapture and the Tribulation Period] is near, even at the doors (Matthew 24:33). We read more of the signs of the times, Now learn a parable of the fig tree [the fig tree represents the Jewish nation]; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh (Matthew 24:32). The fig tree, the Jewish nation, is in bloom. Again we read the handwriting on the wall for our day: This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled (Matthew 24:34). What generation was Jesus referring to here? The generation that would be on the face of the earth when the Jews became a nation once again, the generation that was here in 1948.
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit. Daniel has traveled all the way through civilization in this vision, to our day and beyond, to the end of the age. 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 (Daniel 7:9). The Ancient of Days—the Lord—will sit in judgment at the defeat of the Antichrist’s kingdom.
Move into the Arms of God
We who have been born new look at the handwriting on the wall without sorrow, without regrets but with great jubilation, realizing that we are the Rapture generation. We know that Jesus will come in our day. Our very spirits cry with John the Revelator: Even so, come, Lord Jesus (Revelation 22:20). Through the Holy Spirit living and dwelling on the inside of us, we make that cry because as we look down, we see garments spotless, washed in the blood of Jesus. We’re pure, clean, holy, walking in the fear and love of Almighty God. We’re ready to take our flight at any time. We know we will be changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, caught away to be with the Lord forever.
If that thought sends fear into you, then move into the arms of God until the handwriting on the wall becomes clear to you, until all fear is gone, until you know that the handwriting isn’t against you but for you, that no judgment for you is in that message. Why? Because you met Calvary one day; your judgment took place when you accepted Jesus into your heart, and you were pardoned. The Lord said you’re free for all time and eternity as long as you do not sin again. You are not going to stand before the judgment seat of Christ for your sins, for they have been washed away in the blood of Jesus. You will see the judgment of rewards, but not judgment for your sins.
I love the handwriting on the wall for this hour; I love what it is saying to the born-again Christians today. I love it because I know who is writing, I know the words are the truth of God that I can embrace. As I look at all that is taking place in the world today, as I see Jews moving back to the Holy Land, I’m trying to convince everyone possible to move toward Rapture ground. The Spirit of God is drawing the Jews to Israel, but many will never leave America until they think their Messiah has come. Then there won’t be enough planes flying into Israel to take all that want to go; however, it will be the Antichrist whom they see first.
Read the handwriting. Isn’t it glorious! But when you turn and read the message for those who have failed and disobeyed God, those who are walking in the night, the handwriting on the wall spells death. All we can do is cry out the truth; how tragic that so many do not want to hear it!
The Holy Spirit Bids All to Come
Thus saith the Lord: My people in this hour must have my compassion. My people in this hour must have my love. My people in this hour must have my faith. My people must love righteousness and holiness. My people must love all the lost.
When you came to me, saith the Lord, and you accepted the sacrifice of my Son, you accepted His blood, you accepted the responsibility to love all of the lost. You must love the lost. You must compel them to come to me through your great love that I have given to you. You must stand for all that I have given to you, all of my truths. You must put on all of my armor; you must not back down. You must not be critical. You must stretch forth hands of love and say, “Come to Jesus! Come to Jesus!” You must cry, “He is ready to deliver you! He is ready to set you free! He is ready to hold you up with a mighty hand! Come!” And cry to the weak, “Come and my Lord will make you strong! Come! My Lord will set you free. There’s liberty and freedom!”
And my Son came and brought liberty and freedom to all peoples. No one was left out. And in this final hour, men, women, boys and girls are receiving their final calls, saith the Lord. And those calls must be given with all of my love, with all of my compassion, with all of my mercy. And I will bring multitudes into the Kingdom through the obedience of my people, saith the Lord.
