Welcome to Revelation Unraveled,
I'm your host, William Tapley, also known as the Third Eagle of the Apocalypse
and the Co-Prophet of the End Times. The topic for today's program
is part 2 of our series
on chapter 7 of that great Old
Testament Prophet, Daniel. This is the chapter
where we read about Daniel's great vision
of the 4 beasts which come up out of the sea:
the lion, the bear, the leopard
and the last great beast which symbolizes
the One World Communist Tyranny. Today we will focus
on this last beast and the personification of that beast
which is the Antichrist. Let's look at verse number 7:
"And after this, in the night vision, I saw a fourth beast,"
remember 4 is an End Times number, and this fourth beast
comes at the end just before the Millennium,
"and this fourth beast was dreadful
and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge
iron teeth devouring, breaking in pieces,
and trampling the others." Now "the others" are the three beasts
we were talking about, the lion, bear
and leopard. "It was different than all the previous beasts
and it had ten horns." Now, these ten horns
are the same as the ten toes on the huge statue
in King Nebuchadnezzar's dream. They are also the same
as the ten horns on the scarlet beast in the book of Revelation
and they are the same as the 4 horns (kings) in Chapter 8.
That's because 10 is a number of completion and it means that
all the world's leaders will support the One World Communist System.
And 4 is also a number of completion because as we saw it signifies
north, south, east and west. Now, Daniel sees these beasts come up out of the sea
but as an angel explains in verse 17,
the beasts also come up out of the earth. "These four great beasts
are four kings which shall arise
out of the earth." Now which is it? Is it the earth
or is it the sea? The fact is that it is both
because these beasts not only
indicate countries but they also symbolize the leaders
of those countries. The King James Version translates
the word as "kings", the Douay Rheims
Catholic Bible says "kingdoms." Again
both are correct. These symbolize
kings and their kingdoms. They symbolize
the last great leaders of the End Times and their countries.
Let's review these first three beasts
which we saw. The lion with wings that are broken off
clearly indicates England (Britain) and the wings are her colonies.
We also saw that the lion rose up on its feet and was given the heart of a man.
That means that the lion also symbolizes the Prime Minister or the political leader
of England. The next beast we saw was the bear
with three ribs in its mouth. This
symbolizes End Times Russia. It's interesting that the current Premier
of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, his name
is derived from the Russian word for "bear."
The last of the three beasts was the leopard. The skin of the leopard, which is both
black and white, symbolizes the racial makeup of America.
The 4 heads on the leopard symbolize the
4 branches of our government: Senate, House,
President and Supreme Court. The 4 wings
symbolize America's four military branches:
Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. The leader
who is the personification of the leopard, I am convinced,
is the next President of the United States, Barack Obama.
He fulfills Daniel's prophecies.
He in fact is found here in chapter 7
of Daniel. He looks like a leopard because his
skin is also part black and part white.
Now, let's read what Daniel writes
about the Antichrist in verse number 8. "I was considering the horns,"
that is the three we've been talking about, "and another little horn
came up among them before whom three
of the first horns were plucked up." This plucking up of the three horns
indicates World War III. The three horns
which are plucked up are the same as the three beasts:
the lion, the bear and the leopard, in other words,
England, Russia and the United States.
These are the same as the three horns on the goat
and the ram in Chapter number 8. The 2 horns on the ram
symbolize England and America. The single horn on the goat
symbolizes Russia. As you may remember
the goat crushed the ram in World War III.
These three beasts are also symbolized
in the Whore of Babylon and the Scarlet Beast
that she rides in the Book of Revelation. Remember Babylon
"is fallen, is fallen." Those
2 "is fallen's" refer to the two nations that will fall:
England and America. And the Scarlet Beast
that the Whore of Babylon rides refers
to International Communism.
Please do not listen to the false prophets out there
that tell you that the Whore of Babylon
is the Catholic Church. That is a lie from the pit of Hell.
Remember Satan does not want you to know
who the Whore of Babylon in the book of Revelation
represents. The Whore of Babylon
symbolizes our own decadent Western
Culture. The Whore of Babylon is England and America.
You may also remember from Revelation that the Antichrist
"looks like a leopard, walks like a bear, and talks like a lion."
That means that all three nations will support the Antichrist
and his One World Tyranny following World War III.
But what happens to the Antichrist next?
Let's read the next verse, number 25: "And he shall speak words
against the exalted one and shall crush
the saints of the most high." That is Rome will be crushed by the Gentiles for 42 months.
Remember in Revelation, the holy city is not Jerusalem. The holy city is Rome.
"And he shall think himself able to change times
and laws." The reason the Antichrist will want to change
time is because he knows his time is up in November of 2017
which is the date predicted in the Bible
for Armageddon. "And they shall be delivered
into his hand until a time, times and half a time."
The Antichrist will reign for 3 1/2 years,
but can we shorten that reign? Let's see what Jesus says about
that possibility. In verse 26
we read about the end of the Antichrist, "And judgment shall
sit that his power may be taken away and be broken in pieces
and perish even to the end." This is very similar
to chapter 8 verse 25, "He shall rise up against
the prince of princes and shall be broken without hand."
Also similar to chapter 2 verse 44,
"But in the days of those kingdoms the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom
that shall never be destroyed and it shall consume and break in pieces
all these kingdoms," including the three beasts,
and the fourth beast. The first three beasts:
England, America, and Russia take each other out
in World War III. The fourth beast,
International Communism, will be destroyed by God himself at Armageddon.
These prophecies by Daniel about the demise of the Antichrist
will be our consolation as Christians in these End Times.
We also will remember that Jesus said, "For the sake of the elect I will
shorten those days." This shows that very few are going to be raptured
out of the tribulation, otherwise Jesus would have no need
to shorten the days but for the sake of the elect, he will shorten those days.
That means that World War III can be put off.
We don't have to have a full 7 Years
of Tribulation. In the Olivet Discourse, we know that the number 666 is defeated
by the number 555 and the number 555
signifies the Rosary. Now if you would like more information
