DOMINION OF THE ANCIENT OF DAYS – Part 2
DOMINION OF THE ANCIENT OF DAYS
Part 2
Remember
the great celestial event of angelic worship which will take place in the
future, around the Throne of God, as is revealed in Revelation 5.
And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round
about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten
thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is The Lamb that was slain
to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory,
and blessing.
Rev. 5:11-12 KJV
As they
worship God, together, with the elders, and the living creatures—their voices
will be accompanied by every creature on the earth, and under the earth, and
such as are in the sea.
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth,
and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them,
heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto Him that
sitteth upon the throne, and unto The Lamb for ever and ever.
Rev. 5:13 KJV
Verse 14
says:
And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty
elders fell down and worshipped Him that liveth for ever and ever (KJV).
The
supernatural life and existence of the living creatures at God’s Throne Room,
directly points to the authentic Gospel of Jesus Christ (the Good News of our
Salvation).
Together
with the elders, and the host of angels, they declare God’s Rule, Reign, Power,
Authority, Wisdom, Strength, and Glory.
Since ‘the
dawn of Creation,’ the angels have been active in service (work), and
ministration (worship) in The Kingdom of Heaven; in accordance with God’s
Divine Will and Purposes.
In Daniel
7, we see that ‘millions of angels’ ministered to Him, and ‘a hundred million’
stood to attend Him.
They are
also sent as “servants,” and “ministering spirits” to ‘the heirs of
Salvation’—the Church on earth.
Who maketh winds His messengers; flames of fire His
ministers (Psa. 104:4 ASV)
King James
Version states this verse like this:
Who maketh His angels spirits; His ministers a flaming fire
(KJV).
And, New
Living Translation states:
The winds are Your messengers;
flames of fire are Your servants (NLT).
Hebrews
1:14 asks:
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to
minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (KJV).
The angels
obey God’s Command; they comprehend His infallible Word. Their worship of Him
is spontaneous, their service is universal.
Since
“Eternity Past,” the angels of Heaven have manifest and infinite knowledge of
God’s divine attributes and character. They acknowledge the deity and divinity of
Jesus Christ—The Son of God. They are definitely aware that He is “The Savior
of the world,” and the soon “Coming Messiah.”
“The
twenty-four elders” fall down and worship Him who lives forever.
They
acknowledge and declare His Rule in “The Kingdom of God,” and His soon to be
established Reign over the earth.
“The Ancient of Days” is He Who sits
upon The Throne.
“Blessing,”
“Honor,” “Glory,” and “Power” are His.
“The Ancient of Days” is “The Most
High”
After “a time,
times, and half a time” of the antichrist’s dictatorial rule and control of the
earth, a time will come when “The Most High” will pronounce judgment in favor
of the saints.
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 to
the saints of The Most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the
kingdom (Daniel 7:21-22 KJV)
Antichrist’s Dominion
The
antichrist ascended to power; not as a warrior or a general, but as an
overcomer—just as was prophesied.
And I saw when The Lamb opened one of the seals, and I
heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and
see.
And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him
had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to
conquer.
Rev. 6:1-2 KJV
According
to the Book of Daniel, he attains power through flatteries and intrigue.
And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom
they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably,
and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
Dan 11:21 KJV
ASV
puts it like this:
And in his place shall stand up a contemptible person, to
whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in time of
security, and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
And
NLT says:
"The next to come to power will be a despicable man
who is not directly in line for royal succession. But he will slip in when
least expected and take over the kingdom by flattery and intrigue.
The
secret of the formation of his government, and the source of his power are
revealed in Revelation chapter 13.
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.
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his
feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the
dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
Rev 13:1-2 KJV
The
people of the world marvel after “the beast”—they are enthralled by Him—they
love him. “…and
all the world wondered after the beast” (Rev. 13:3c KJV)
The
antichrist will wield power because the earth is in love with him—he is the
embodiment of everything wicked man has always sought to worship since after
“the Fall of Man”; man has desired to worship himself and govern himself
instead of relying on GOD.
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the
beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who
is able to make war with him?
Rev 13:4 KJV
People
say words that are to this effect—they worship “the dragon,” and they worship
“the beast.” This, nowadays is very commonly seen in the media, in music, in
the entertainment industry, in religion, in politics, and even in ‘the business
world.’
“The
antichrist” is given authority to act for 42 months; which is 3 ½ years.
“…and power was given unto him to continue forty and two
months” (Rev 13:5b KJV)
Verse
7 says,
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and
to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and
nations (KJV).
Daniel
7:21-22 states:
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 to
the saints of The Most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the
kingdom (KJV)
The
antichrist's government will be terrifying to the world; it will devour and
crush its opposition-governments 'with iron teeth and bronze claws, and will
trample what is left beneath its feet.' It will devour the whole world,
trampling everything in its path.
In
verse 20, he is 'the little horn' with human eyes and a mouth that boasts
arrogantly.
“The
false prophet”—“the second beast,” executes the authority of “the antichrist”—“the
beast.” “The false prophet” speaks and acts for “the beast.”
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and
he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before
him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first
beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come
down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of
those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to
them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast,
which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Rev 13:11-14 KJV
“The
image of the beast” speaks—it speaks of “the new religion of the beast.”
Through “the image of the beast,” “the antichrist” will decipher the language
and culture of his religion to every tribe, nation, and tongue (dialect). “The
image of the beast” will speak and rouse the entire world into such a religious
frenzy that whoever will not join “the new religion” is killed.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that
the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not
worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Rev 13:15 KJV
People
will worship “the beast” through “the image of the beast.”
”The
antichrist” will exercise his authority by enforcing a law that will make
people accept his ‘’biochip-implant’—which GOD’s Word reveals as “the mark of
the beast.”
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor,
free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the
mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the
number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six
hundred threescore and six.
Rev 13:16-18 KJV
GOD
Almighty, by His angels, seals His servants on their foreheads (see Rev. 7:3).
Satan
the devil, through the government of his antichrist will implant on the
foreheads or right hand of those that belong to him, his ‘esoteric mark.’
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor,
free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads
(verse 16).
The
worship of “the beast,” the worship of “the image of the beast,” and “the mark
of the beast” are associated (read Rev. 14:9-11).
The
inhabitants of the earth who worship ‘the beast’ will eventually worship his
image, and they will receive ‘the mark of the beast.’
‘On
the other hand,’ those that witness of Jesus, and for The Word of God, shall
not worship “the beast,” neither will they worship his image, nor receive his
mark (read Rev. 20:4).
Right
now, ‘the worship of the beast’ is being systematically connected with commerce
through technology.
Much
as members of a club give each other special consideration, those who worship
“the beast” will likely see non-worshippers as troublemakers, and will refuse
service to them.
“The
antichrist” attained power through intrigue, politics, and diplomacy.
Revelation 17 reveals that he is “the beast that was, and is not, and shall
ascend out of the bottomless pit…” (verse 8).
Out
of a resurgent kingdom (Revived Roman Empire), he is building his empire
(Mystery Babylon) and a ‘one-world government.’
“The
Roman Empire” emerged as a dreadful and terrible empire. Today, it has evolved
into what is called: "European Union"-- and is becoming greater than
all the empires that ruled the world before now.
“The
ten kings” who received power as ‘kings’ ‘one hour with the beast’—are leaders
of 10 nations from within the ‘Revived Roman Empire’—otherwise, known as:
“Fortress Europe” or “European Union.” They attained political power with the
ascendancy of ‘the antichrist.’
They
will, in turn, cede their power to him, and they will with one mind work to
accomplish all his goals.
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.
Rev. 17:12-13 KJV
The Dominion of Christ
The Dominion of “The
Ancient of Days” will be fulfilled in “The Triumphant Christ.”
Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him,
and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail
because of Him. Even so, Amen.
Rev. 1:7 KJV
He
is “Alpha and Omega,” “The Beginning and The Ending,” ‘Who is, and Who was, and
Who is to come’—“The Almighty!” (see verse 8).
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.
Rev 17:14 KJV
“The
ten kings” who received power as ‘kings’ one hour with ‘the beast’—they are
leaders of the first 10 nations that formed the European Union. They will form
a political alliance with “the beast”—“the antichrist,” and they will make war
with “The Lamb”—Jesus Christ, and He shall overcome them; for He is LORD of
lords and KING of kings.
“Mystery
Babylon” is the antichrist’s empire—he is building his city and government to
rule the world. But, after “the ten kings,” and “the antichrist” are defeated
in Israel by “The Lamb,” ‘the kings’will turn on “the antichrist” and burn down
his city.
Babylon
will fall!
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these
shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her
flesh, and burn her with fire.
For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil His will, and to
agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the Words of God shall be
fulfilled.
And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which
reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Rev 17:16-18 KJV
When
the antichrist’s empire is destroyed, and its capital is burned to the ground,
the nations of the world will mourn, because their economies will be in
trouble.
“The
antichrist” who once was worshipped by the inhabitants of the earth, will be
defeated—after the Battle of Armageddon, when the kings of the earth will turn
on him after their defeat at the hands of The KING of kings.
And after these things I saw another angel come down from
heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon
the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the
hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her,
and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her
delicacies.
Rev 18:1-3 KJV
GOD
Almighty will remember the iniquities of “Babylon”—and her plagues will come in
“one day.” Her plagues will be: death and mourning, famine, and fire.
Strong
is The LORD GOD who judges her!
And I heard another Voice from heaven, saying, Come out of
her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not
of her plagues.
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath
remembered her iniquities.
Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her
double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her
double.
How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously,
so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen,
and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and
mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is
The Lord God who judgeth her.
And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication
and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they
shall see the smoke of her burning,
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying,
Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy
judgment come.
Rev 18:4-10 KJV
“The
antichrist” and his false prophet, and the devil who is their master, shall be
cast into ‘the lake of fire’ (read Rev. 20:10).
"The
kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ,
and He shall reign forever and ever!"
The Dominion of The
Ancient of Days and the Dominion of His Christ will soon crush the dominion of
the Antichrist.
The LORD is The Shepherd of His People
The LORD is The Shepherd of His People.
Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
Psa. 28:9 KJV
DOMINION OF THE ANCIENT OF DAYS – Part 1
DOMINION OF THE ANCIENT OF DAYS
Part 1
In Daniel
7, we see ‘the Rise and Fall of Empires’ (verses 4 to 6).
The empire
prophesied in verse 7 is today, almost in full-formation—just as this vision
takes a quantum leap forward to “the end of time.”
Verse 8
prophesies “the Rise of the Antichrist.”
“The ten
horns” of ‘the fourth beast’ seem to have concerned Daniel a great deal. He
later asks about them specifically (verse 20).
In verse 8,
we see “the Rise of the Antichrist” coming up from among “the ten kings”
(horns), and taking supremacy over them (plucking them up from the roots).
‘The
Antichrist’ in this verse is prophesied to be a great speaker—a man who is a
passionate and popular orator.
In the following
verses, “The Ancient of Days” was seated, “the Court of Heaven” was seated, and
‘the books’ were opened!
It’s a time for judgment!
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, 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.
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him:
thousand thousands ministered unto Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand
stood before Him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
Daniel 7:9-10 KJV
In this
Heavenly vision Prophet Daniel saw, God's throne was 'a fiery flame' - its
wheels a burning fire, and a fiery stream (a river of fire) came forth from
before His Presence.
“Thousand thousands ministered unto
Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.”
This great
future event which will take place in Heaven, at the Throne Room of GOD, was
seen by Prophet Daniel, but sealed in his own time.
Centuries
later, this same celestial event (which will occur in the future) was revealed
more vividly to Apostle John, and was recorded in “The Sealed Book” in The Book
of Revelation, chapter 5.
And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round
about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten
thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory,
and blessing.
Revelation 5:11-12 KJV
In Daniel
7:10 "thousand thousands" ministered unto GOD, and "ten thousand
times ten thousand" stood before Him.
And, in
Revelation 5:11 'the number of the angels was "ten thousand times ten
thousand, and thousands of thousands."
The angels’
ministration we read in Daniel 7 "... thousand thousands ministered unto Him, and ten
thousand times ten thousand stood before Him" (v.10 KJV) — this is angelic worship—together with
the elders around the throne, they worship GOD.
"... worthy is The Lamb that was slain to receive
power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and
blessing" (Rev 5:12 KJV)
“The Ancient of Days” is “The Only Wise
GOD.”
He is “The
Only Wise God”—the Glory of whose Presence is indescribable.
He is God
from everlasting to everlasting, and His Throne is formidable upon which He
rides the circuit of the heavens.
His attendants
are numerous and splendid. “The Shekinah” is always attended with angels. It is
His Glory that He has such attendants.
How obsequious
are the heavenly hosts—they stand before God, ready to go on His
errands and to take the first intimation of His Will and Pleasure.
They will
particularly be sent as ‘ministers of His Redemption’ for His saints, when “…The Son of Man shall come, and all
the holy angels with Him” (read Matt. 24:31).
“The Ancient of Days” is “The Righteous
Judge.”
He will
send His angels as ‘ministers of His Justice’ on the Last Judgment Day (see
Matt. 25:31).
Enoch
prophesied that The Lord should come with His holy myriads for judgment.
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these,
saying, Behold, The Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints,
To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are
ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly
committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken
against Him (Jude 14-15 KJV)
“Thrones” shall be cast down— such are ‘the
thrones of the kingdoms of this world,’ which are in comparison with God's Kingdom—all
rule, authority, and power, that are set up in opposition to The Kingdom of God
among men—even ‘the last enemy’ will be destroyed!
“Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the
kingdom to God, even The Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all
authority and power.
For He must reign, till He hath put all enemies under His
feet (1 Cor. 15:24-25 KJV).
The Lord
has prepared His Throne in the heavens and His Kingdom rules over all (Psa.
103:19)—Christ's Throne and the Throne of His Father.
There is a
God that judges in the earth (see Psa. 58:11)—The Judge is The Ancient of Days Himself.
The process
of His Judgment is fair and unexceptionable: The Judgment is set, publicly and
openly, that all may have recourse to it; and ‘the books are opened.’ As in
courts of judgment among men the proceedings are in writing and upon record,
which is laid open when the cause comes to a hearing, the examination of
witnesses is produced, and affidavits are read, to clear the matter of fact,
and the statute and common-law books are consulted to find out what is the law,
so, on the Great Judgment Day, the equity of the sentence will be as
incontestably evident as “the books” which are opened.
The GOD of Creation is “The Ancient of
Days.”
Out of ‘a
world of tribulations,’ The LORD will redeem His elect. He will come with fire
and with His chariots—“flames of fire,” and “chariots” mentioned in Isaiah
66:15 speak of host of angels of GOD.
In ‘the fullness of time,’ “The Counsel of GOD”
witnessed by the host of angels, will issue a decree against ‘the Antichrist,’
and against his empire and government.
The LORD Himself will pass this judgment—for He is
“The LORD of hosts.”
And, here
is what the enforcement of the judgment will be:
“I beheld then because of the voice of the great words
which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body
destroyed, and given to the burning flame” (Dan 7:11 KJV)
When The
LORD comes to redeem His elect, He will come with “the clouds of Heaven”—He
will come with His host of angels.
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, One like The Son
of Man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days, and
they brought Him near before Him.
And there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom,
that all people, nations, and languages, should serve Him: His dominion is an
everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which
shall not be destroyed.
Daniel 7:13-14 KJV
And then shall appear the
sign of The Son of Man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth
mourn, and they shall see The Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with
power and great glory.
And He shall send His angels
with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from
the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Matthew 24:30-31 KJV
"The Son of Man" will come to
"The Ancient of Days" before He comes in the clouds of heaven with
Power and Great Glory!
To Him belongs the Kingdom, the Power,
and the Glory!
Surely, all
people, nations, and languages will serve Him. His Dominion is Everlasting Dominion!
And His Kingdom, indestructible!
"... For Thine is the
kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen” (Matt 6:13 KJV).
May The LORD bless you
May The Lord bless you and keep you.
May The Lord be gracious unto you and give you His Peace.
May you live today knowing that the Coming of Jesus Christ is imminent, and we are prepared. Through His shed Blood on the cross, our sins are forgiven.
We are on our way to Heaven to live forever in the Peace, Love, and Joy that only the righteous can know in Jesus’ Name, Amen!
I Am The Resurrection and The Life
The Resurrection is the bedrock of Christianity.
"I am the Resurrection, and the Life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live..."
John 11:25 KJV
