THE BODY OF ANTICHRIST

Part X

In the last couple of chapters of the present study, we have sought to show how the Spiritual plane of existence, where there are "powers," as well as "the rulers of the darkness of this world" (Ephesians 6:2), impact the earthly dominions. In addition to this, for many years, we have seen a curious sequential association with how the LORD ordained these principalities to progress.

This chronological pattern is even seen before the fall (when these regimes came to power), as the book of beginnings -- Genesis – tells us that God made the entire creation in Six days.

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…so God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them" (Genesis 1:26,27).

Because the LORD rested on the Seventh day from his creative work, we surmise that is why the history of mankind's attempts at dominion occurs in sets of Six. In the historical accounts of the timelines, we also see  that the Seventh stage seems to represent a spiritual intervention in the affairs of man.

Most of the Christian Medians are aware that just one of the realizations that triggered the amazing journey we've been on was the fact that we determined the Six kingdoms in the Old Testament timeline eerily resembled the Six kingdoms in the New Testament timeline.

In this regard, the breakthrough was quite similar to the awakening by the prophet Daniel, where he "understood by books" what God was doing with his people.

"I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem" (Daniel 9:2).

At each stage of the LORD's transmission of understanding, we recognized that God did not simply "download" a full panorama of the prophecies (like He did with John in the book of the Revelation!), as it came with a careful analysis over time.

Most of the Christian Medians know that another breakthrough occurred when we realized that two significant kingdoms preceded the four kingdoms of Daniel chapter 2. Of course they were Egypt and Assyria, so the four kingdoms in Chapter 2 (communicated to Daniel through the dream of the composite statue with the head of gold, arms of silver, brass belly and iron legs) of Babylon, the Persian Union, the Grecian regime of Alexander the Great, and the Roman Empire were actually kingdoms 3,4,5,6 following Egypt and Assyria. The next big realization immediately followed Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome:

"In the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom [kingdom number Seven], 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" (Daniel 2:44).

This obviously says that the kingdom of JESUS CHRIST, which arrives after the Sixth kingdom of Rome has arrived, appears during the time of the Roman Empire.

The even more stunning breakthrough came when we realized that the quartet of kingdoms in Daniel 7 – the Lion, Bear, Leopard, and Diverse Beast kingdoms -- emerged in the Christian age. When we learned that the odd episode where Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon lost his mind (but retained his throne when his mind was restored), was eerily the same thing that happened to King George III of the British Empire, we were shocked.

It turns out that George lost his mind (and subsequently regained his throne), and he was the British king who sat on the throne of England when the eagle's wings that were attached to the "Lion" kingdom were plucked.

"I beheld till the [eagle's] wings were plucked" (Daniel 7:4).

This stunning fact meant that the entire Dispensational system (the Rapture theology) was fatally flawed because it completely depends on the false assertion there is no prophecy of the Christian church in the Old Testament!

At the time, I did not yet understand the fact that this revelation destroys the Rapture system! It placed the revelation the LORD had given me in opposition to significant media powers in most of the Christian establishment!

The next breakthrough came as I processed what had been revealed. Even a casual read of Daniel shows there are "princes" that are angelic in nature that were maneuvering behind the earthly thrones of Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome.

During the Persian Union which conquered Babylon, Daniel sees an angel who tells him he had to fight with the "Prince of Persia" to get through to Daniel with the Revelation he was dispatched to bring the prophet.  

 "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me…but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes came to help me…and when I am gone forth , lo, the prince of Grecia shall come" (Daniel 10:13,20).

Since another Scripture in Daniel mentions a "prince that shall come" (Daniel 9:26) whose people shall destroy the temple, it was clear this must be the Prince of Rome!

This was the answer as to why the four kingdoms of the Lion, Bear, Leopard, and Diverse Beast of Daniel 7 so closely resembled Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome in Daniel 2! Since these "princes" are angels, and they did not die when the Old Testament kingdoms came to their end, they are the same "princes" behind the four New Testament era kingdoms of England (the Lion), The Soviet Union (the Bear), Hitler's Third Reich of Germany (the Leopard), and post World War II America (the Diverse Beast)!

"We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Ephesians 6:12).

This meant that there is a Prince of America, and because the kingdoms in the AD timeline exhibit the same characteristics as the kingdoms in the BC timeline, he is the same angelic entity that moved behind the Roman Empire!

As I intensely studied the book of Daniel, I realized that since kingdoms 3,4,5,6 (which we refer to as the Quartet) were showing characteristics that indicated they were functioning in parallel, I realized there had to be two kingdoms that paralleled Egypt and Assyria, but they must have reached their apex before England, Russia, Germany, and America.

This brought the relatively obvious historic realization that the Holy Roman Empire, which was enormously impacted by the LORD Jesus Christ, must be the AD era Prophetic Parallel of Egypt; and as Rome eventually disintegrated, Catholic Spain was the Christian era kingdom that eventually led to Britain. 

The colorful history of Spain and their clash with the growing English naval power when the vaunted Spanish Armada was vanquished once again stunned me, as I realized that God has given me an astounding series of revelations!

Somewhere around this time I realized that the Assyrian slaughter when 185,000 Assyrians were miraculously decimated as they surrounded Jerusalem, Prophetically Paralleled the defeat of the Spanish Armada!

"Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand:  and when they arose in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses" (Isaiah 37:36).

As the BC Old Testament era kingdoms were imaged as a statue on dry land, and the AD New Testament Era kingdoms were imaged by "beasts that came up from the sea" (Daniel 7:3), everything fell into place!

As the LORD defended Jerusalem from the Assyrian host in the BC Old Testament age, it became clear that God wasn't defending Britain from Spain as a kingdom, but the LORD brought the miraculous victory on the seas of Britain to defend the Christians in England that were to be the champions of the Holy Bible!

At the time when Catholic Spain wanted to crush Protestant England, we see the same arrogant spirit in King Phillip II of Spain that we saw in the parallel kingdom of Assyria, as they threatened Jerusalem.

"This is the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning [the king of Assyria].

Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? And against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? Even against the Holy One of Israel" (Isaiah 37:23).

Following the disaster at Jerusalem which decimated the Assyrian Dominion, Babylon emerged which foreshadowed the British Empire. In English history, there are even parallels between Belshazzar, the heir of Nebuchadnezzar, and King George IV, who followed George III who lost the colonies.

In the Prophetic Parallel of the dual kingdom of the Persian Union (the union of the Medes and the Persians), in the AD Christian era, we see the Soviet Union. Many are unaware as the Bolshevik communists came to power, Russia had already conquered transcaucasian Georgia, in a dual kingdom that echoed the Persian Union.

In the adjacent prophecy of the Persian Union, we see the Persian Union was imaged as a ram with two horns, with one horn "higher" than the other.

"There stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high: but one was higher than the other" (Daniel 8:3).

In the union of the Medes and the Persians, the Persians became the dominant power; and the same thing happened with Russia and Georgia.

Then came Alexander the Great and the Grecian Empire. Alexander was known for the rapidity of his conquests, and likewise the parallel AD era "Leopard" kingdom of Nazi Germany was known for its "blitzkrieg" (meaning lightning) warfare. Just as Greece came to pre-eminence because they were threatened by the Persian Union, Nazi Germany came about as a response to Russian Communist aggression.

Alexander (and Hitler in the Prophetic Parallel) was imaged as a male goat with a "great horn" on his head.

"And when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven" (Daniel 8:8).

When Alexander died, four generals from the Grecian Empire divided his kingdom, just as Hitler and the Nazis were defeated in World War II by the four allied nations led by America, "and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it" (Daniel 7:7).

Enter the Prince of America.

But what happens after that, in our generation, will have to wait for another installment of The Body Of Antichrist.
