And let us read it at Daniel chapter seven. Daniel chapter seven. In the first year of Belchatter, king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his dead. Then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matter. Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. Four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse, one from another. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I beheld till the wings thereof were chucked, and I want you to notice this first beast, like a lion. 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. And behold, another beast, a second, light 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. They said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. After this I beheld and lo another, like a leopard, as the third beast, which had upon the back of it four wings of a cloud. The beast had also four heads, and dominion was given to it. After this I saw in the night vision, and behold, a fourth beast. But you'll notice there's no name given to it. A nondescript. Dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly, and it had great iron teeth. It devoured and break 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. 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 a man, and the mouth speaking great things. Now I want you to notice in particular the next two verses. 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. Thousands, thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set, and the books were opened. I beheld, then, because of the voice of the great word which the horn speak, he's going back to the little horn. I beheld, even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed and given to the burning flame. As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time. Now again remember the next two verses, or mark them. I saw in the night vision, 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. I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit, in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. I came near unto one the then that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know, the interpretation of the things. These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth, assuring there going to be men. But the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever. Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose feet were of iron and his nails of brass, which devoured drake 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. Even of that horn, that had eyes in her mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellow. I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them. And now notice this verse. Until the ancient of days came, and that's the third time you read the ancient of days in this chapter. Until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most high. and the time came that the saint possessed the kingdom. Thus he said, the four beasts shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom were 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, and they shall be given unto him into his hands, until the time and time and the dividing of time. But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion to consume and to destroy it unto the end. And the kingdoms, and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom, under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him, that is Christ. Titherto is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my cogitations much trouble me, and my confidence changed in me, but I kept the matter in my heart. It's very amazing, as you read the Word of God and take up these subjects, that you learn things constantly. And only this week while studying this portion, my attention was drawn to a few verses over in Hosea, and I want you to read them. I read them this afternoon, and they amazed me. The very next book to Daniel. And remember, Hosea is talking about things. One hundred and nine years before Daniel was born. And notice what he says in verse five of the thirteen chapters, Hosea. I did know thee in the wilderness in the land of Great Galilee, according to their pasture, so where they filled. They were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore had they forgotten me. Therefore I will be unto them as a lion. There is the first sheep. As a leopard by the way will I observe them. I will meet them as a bear that is believed of her wealth, and will rend the call of their heart. And there will I devour them like a lion. The wild beast, there is the fourth one. The wild beast, no name is given to it. The wild beast shall tear them. And then is another kingdom coming. O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself. that in me is thine health. I will be thy king, where is any other that may save thee. To me that's an amazing thing to think that a hundred and nine years before Daniel was born, here is Hosea, and he's making his amazing prophecy. And Hosea is spoken of as the prophet of the broken heart, the broken home, and the broken homeland. stranger that may seem, that broken home was his home. And God made him pass through an experience, and this was often found in the Word of God, these prophets that God used. It was true concerning Jeremiah. It was true concerning Ezekiel. It's true now in this case. And he was made to case a little of what God experienced with his people. Where he finds his wife, and she was unfaithful to us. And it caused a broken home. Now, says God, she'll be able to go to my people, Israel. You've learned from experience naturally how I feel toward my people. That was one witness, that nation, which I called my wife. She's been unfaithful to me. She's been guilty of idolatry. She's taken other God. And here is the prophet Hosea, speaking from a broken heart about his broken home and also his broken homeland. God oftentimes makes his service pass through bitter experience in order that that might color and characterize their ministry, that they might help others. And so we find Hosea mentioning these very kings that are to come. And one hundred years and one hundred and nine years later, Daniel is born, and then you have these various things brought before you. Now, as you'll notice, that in chapter two, Nebuchadnezzar, he had history that gave us a picture of the times of the Gentiles, little four metals, and then the stone cut out without hands that smote the image upon the feet. Here you have Daniel and Eve having a dream. And Daniel's dream is more or less a review, a prophecy and also a review of the times of the Gentiles looked at from God's point of view. And you'll notice how in Nebuchadnezzar's case, he was troubled. He pointed out last Sunday. He couldn't sleep. Now you find Daniel and he's troubled. Daniel is not troubled like the king Nebuchadnezzar and Nehemiah. They were troubled. But Daniel is not troubled in the same way. He was disturbed because he saw what was going to come upon Job's earthly people. He saw the punishment and the judgment that was going to come upon the children of Israel, that people that he was a part of and that he loved. Daniel was disturbed. He couldn't sleep. His soul was troubled when God revealed to him what he was going to do. You have these four powers, and they're just four Gentile powers, and no more. There have been men who tried to make it more than four, but they've not succeeded. As we mentioned on more than one occasion, Napoleon wanted to conquer the world. If he had, it would have been a world dominated by the French. And the Kaiser wanted to dominate the world. Nineteen-fourteen and nineteen-eighteen, if he had succeeded, there would have been a German conquered world and controlled world. And also Adolf Hitler. No, they do not fit into God's plan. God says that only before... Gentile powers that will be very powers until my son comes, he'll be the sick, and he'll reign over all the earth after he has the schools of those four world powers. And three of them have come and gone. So forth. also came, that is, to be revived in the area of ancient Rome. And we're waking in, we see the formation of it today, I believe, in the Common Market. The formation of that fourth, the revival of the fourth. After which, when the Son of God disposes of them at the Battle of Armageddon, he shall set up his kingdom, and the millennium shall be ushered in. That will be the fifth. And so the very same... period of time. And the very same nations that were given to Nebuchadnezzar in chapter two are given to Daniel here in chapter seven. And you see the final state of the fourth power here too. And most of the verses are taken up with this fourth king and kingdom. More or less this takes a few verses to tell us about the first king and his kingdom Nebuchadnezzar. And another verse covers the Mediopersian kingdom. And another verse covers the Grecian kingdom under Alexander the Great. But most of this chapter is taken up with that fourth beat, and it's so terrible that that fourth beat they can't find in the names. And nondescript, there's not a beat that forms a jungle that can be the kind that illustrates correctness. or in detail the character that's going to arise, the man that's going to arise in the future, and he will be the coming man of sin, Satan, in God. And so you see these four world powers. I want you to notice the difference between what man sees and what God sees. In chapter two you have what man sees in all that he's built up. In all his achievement, there in those four metals, the head of gold, the brass and arms of silver, the belly of brass, and the legs of iron, and the feet are in place, deteriorating from head to foot on that's been true of the world ever since Nebuchadnezzar. None of the empires have been so great as a Babylonian empire. And so you find this empire, Babylonian empire, and by how dwarves it was. And then the next empire, the Medieval Persians, silver. The next one draft, the next one iron, then the iron mixed with clay. Man sees some value, because you're speaking in terms of gold and silver and draft. Man sees some value in what he's got, to his achievement, to the accomplishment. And man glories him, if not this great Babylon which I have built before. You know the world today is glory in its achievements. My, we're living in a wonderful age, right? A man likes to glory in what he's done. Why we've gone to the moon. And it's amazing what has been accomplished by man in the last few years in the field of science. Strength exploration and so on. It's been wonderful. Man sees value in what he's done. Man has accomplished great things. God says, but I am going to give you what I see, and I'm going to cover the same period, the same thing, and the same kingdom. And I'll see, let you know what I see. I see poor jungle beasts, not silver, not gold, not brass, not iron, not levels of value. I see four jungle beasts. God looks on the hop. Man looks on the outward appearance. And for the last twenty-five hundred years, man has been looking at what he has achieved. What he has accomplished. The progress he has made. He's looking on the outward appearance. But God says, I am going to go to the heart of this country. I'm going to tell you what I see these kings and kingdoms today and how they're going to end. And it's quite edifying to go down these two, even do it side by side. In chapter two you have the gold. That's what Nebuchadnezzar was. Then chapter seven you have the lion, the beast. the Babylonian Empire. Both the gold and the lion speak of the Babylonian Empire. Then the next one, man sees silver, the Mediopersian. And then you have the bear. That's what God sees. And so the silver and the bear mean the same, the Mediopersian Empire. And then you have the third, the brass. And here you have the Grecian Empire. And God sees a leopard. are left, and there is your Grecian Empire, under Alexander the Great. Then the iron. And what does God see about the iron? God says the iron smashes and breaks within pieces all metal. And God gives us the fourth beast, unnumly. He hardly knows how to describe it. Daniel in the dream, in verse seven. After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful, terrible, strong exceedingly, and he had great iron teeth that devoured and break in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet. Where he couldn't capture and use, he'd have foes out of these camps with his feet, such as the monster of iniquity that is to come. He'll be an economic expert. He'll be a military genius. This man of sin takes an incarnate, and God can't think of a beast that roams before us to lighten this man, this monster of a mystery who's going to arrive in the days that are to come. Antiochus Epiphanes, as mentioned in connection with the Roman Empire, is only a foreshadow of the coming monster of the Nicola. A lot of historians think that possibly a type of epiphany roused the fourth beast, but he was not. Because the fourth empire here is associated with the ancient of days, and three times over in this chapter, you have reference made to the ancient of days. and how the books are open, and how the ancient days give the government to his sons. Well, if Antiochus Epiphanes was the man that some students try to say is not before us in the four feet, then has Jesus Christ come? Then he has set up his kingdom, and all is a fact. No friend the man of sin has not done. Christ has not set up his kingdom. The Battle of Armageddon has not been fought. So we know conclusively that Antiochus Epiphanes, that Brutal Roman was not the one that is spoken of here, the Nunderscript. And then you'll notice in connection with the Ten Coes. In connection with the image, you've got ten Coes, but in connection with the Nunderscript, you've got ten horns and ten kings. And then a stone fell. A stone fell. And then over in chapter seven, the ancient of day Christ. You have man's view and you have God's view. And what does God say about the fifth empire? The fifth empire is Christ. A man sees Christ as a rough mountain stone. A rough mountain school. But how does God describe His Son and His kingdom? He tells us in verses nine and ten and what a difference. Verses nine and ten, this is what God says about the kingdom of His Son. I beheld till the clones were cast down in the ancient of days that sift. His 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. Thousands, thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand, fine, ten thousand stood before him, that is, worshiping. And the judgment was set, and the books were opened. All that man saw. And all that he described twice as in chapter two was a rough mountain slope. You have that also referred to in Isaiah. There was no beauty that men should divide them. But when God speaks of his sons, God gives you a proper view of his sons and the glorious reign that will be his in a soon coming day. And so you have the power of chapter two and chapter seven. of comparing these you have, as I've already mentioned, the time of the Gentile, running from the beginning of Gentile rule under Nebuchadnezzar until the battle of Armageddon. Now let us look at the first rule in the minute. Verse four. Here you have Nebuchadnezzar, his insanity and his conversion we took up in Chapter Four, how he had a beast's heart, and then a man's heart was given unto him. And the wind line is the symbol of the Babylonian Empire to this day. Of course, as far as Babylon's concerned, it's been split up and hardly a piece of Babylon's pound, but that was, and there are pieces in museums. Some of their money, and it has the winged lion stamped upon the Babylonian empire. Then you'll notice the second and verse five, Mediopersia. And you'll notice how the bear here rose up on one side, meaning that one of these two would be the stronger, the Mediopersia. And the Persians dominated the kingdom. Medial raised up on one side was stronger than Persia. Or the other way around. Persia was the strongest. And Persia it was. You'll notice the beast had three ribs in its mouth. It devoured. And thus did the Persians devour three nations, small nations. They devoured Pahlia, Libya, and Egypt. History tells you that. And furthermore, the bear speaks of that which is cruel and cunning. You know, history calls the appalling destruction of human life affected by this person's government. Then you come to the third beast here in verse six. The Grecian, or the leopard, Alexander the Great, that brilliant son of Philippa Macedon. And as you see the leopard, how swift the leopard can run. The leopard can outrun the lion, it can outrun the bear. And Alexander the Great was thirty-nine when he had conquered the world. Notice what happened. Four heads came up from the leopard. And when Alexander the Great died, Alexander the Great died, four generals took over. And the four weems on this feast... feats of the rapidity with which Alexander comes of the world, and the forehead of his four main generals took over when he died, and they ringed over Greece, Greece, Syria, and Egypt. And in the four of these, in verse seven, we've already read about it, nondiscus, fearful, terrible, drunkenly, mercilessly, destructive, deceit, chanting, and false hearing. glacerating where it could not eat, it destroyed. And such wars too are these empires. It's just for us to concentrate on the fourth one. So that's the one I'm interested in. I'm sure that's the one all of us are interested in. The Babylonians have passed. Meteor Persians have passed. Sir Grecian, far as their great power was concerned, has passed too. Greece will never see the glory she once had. And Rome, yes, Rome had a glorious reign under the Caesar. And Rome, if you read the Word of God, you'll find what Rome has done. Not only pagan Rome, but also papal Rome, the two they go together. And they're found together in the Book of Revelation. The women riding the beach. The woman is papal Rome, and the beast is pagan Rome, or the military, the political, if you will. And Daniel mostly deals with this four feasts of this forecast, a number of papal and pagan Rome. Millions of saints have died, and the Lord of Glory was crucified. It was Romans that put it in there. All you have to do is turn to the book of Revelation. and you read concerning the Scarlet Woman, the one who's going to head up the Ecumenical Movement. And it says concerning her, she's drunk with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. Yes, there you see the power, even the people power, not to mention the pagan Rome. on how papal Rome used pagan Rome to accomplish her end and her purposes in conquering lands and disposing of all who were faithful to Jesus Christ, such is the history of the Caesar. The ancient empire will be revived. That's undoubtedly true. It will be revived over the area that Rome used to rule over. I was struck with what was in last night's paper. Some people think that the common market is dying out. Listen to me. This is from Brussels. Meetings are shaping up between the two superpowers of world trade, the United States and the common market. And they're aiming at training nation for the common market. They already have six definite signatures, and England undoubtedly is going to be in, but they've got ten in mind, and I never thought until then how the United States is going to find itself on the side of the beast that's going to come up out of those ten kingdoms. It says here, the United States and the common market, The AUS visit by the Common Market's top executive may help chart the prosperity of factories and farms in both Europe and North America. The Common Market executive, Franco Maria Malvati, is arriving in New York today and will go to Washington and the West Coast, trying to build up Western Europe along similar lines to what we have in this country. far as the cult is concerned than other things. And you definitely see here the United States lined up with the common market in England or Europe. And secondly, ten nations in mind. And out of those ten nations, I believe we can say it that much. Things are lightning so fast, especially when you realize that the chapter of the common market was signed right in Rome. I have that in writing, too. And here you see the king-kingdom, that out of the ten is going to arise a strong man. Here the spells of three kingdoms, for what reason we know them. Undoubtedly, they will be reinstated because they're seen in their final form and judgment at the Battle of Armageddon. And so you see the way things are shaping up for the time of the end. The coming world dictator will head up, and this is the little horn we spoke of here, will head up this period of Roman rule. When you start to think of what's going on in the world and what type and character of man that is to appear, one shudders to think of what the world is into. It says he's terrible, horrible, reckless. We think of some men who you might well describe as such. Men who are terrible and terrible and worthless, men such as this have ruled in the past. We've mentioned some already, Nebuchadnezzar, Alexander the Great, Nero, Antioch of Epiphany, Stalin, Hitler, Mayo. And by the way, I read a story only in this past week about Mayo of China, and we little realized. the power of that man and how he looked upon as the god of China. When you read the history of China and their timely wars, they were all split up, and it was said that no one could organize all of China. Well, communism did, and yet China hasn't been dominated by one government, all of China, from its dimensions. It's been divided up in the state. The communism has united six hundred million people. And I may have occasion to read what is said about Mayo and how he's looked upon as a God. And his little red book is the Bible of six hundred million people. That's all they read. Mail is there gone. Now, if you had a character like Mail over in the area of ancient Rome, for a man like that were to come up and hit around Italy, you might have reasonably this as a man of sin, because there are many characteristics between Mail and what is said in connection with this coming man of sin. These men, you might say, call all them butchers, nothing but butchers. Beastly men, but the worst of all, he gets a cut. These other men are going to be brought by the coming man of sin. And when God can't describe a man by lightning a beast under him, you know he must be terrible. God describes them to Ganeser as a lion. He describes the medieval persons as a bear. He describes the Grecian Empire as a leper. The way he comes to the fore. There's no name given to him. Only words, nouns and adjectives, describing the nature, the character of this coming man of sin. And Satan is going to give him all his power. And he thinks of the Lord Jesus Christ and what power he has. He could call each of the angels and they would have said, God was in Christ. But Satan is going to try and imitate that. And Satan is going to be in this coming man of sin. You can realize the power he revealed and exercised in that coming day. He'll conquer May, and He'll cause God's earthly people, the Jewish nation to go through that great tribulation period. We have that in chapter twelve, where you have the woman great with child, and the woman, of course, with the crown of twelve stars, even under twelve sides of the earth. She's the one that brought forth the man-child, and the dragon waiting to the river, or to devour the man-child as soon as it was born. But the woman was driven into the wilderness after the man's child was caught up to heaven, and Satan persecuted the woman that brought forth the man's child. When Christ was caught up to heaven, Satan couldn't get it in, only through the members of his body, the likes of you and me. Satan is getting it twice to his members. But how is he getting at Israel? Literally. Literally. Think of how the Jewish nation, the woman that brought forth the man's child. Think of how Israel has suffered and her darkest day has yet to come. And it was quite notable that Gershnov, in his address, six-hour address at the Kremlin this past week, one thing he emphasized was anti-Semitism. And that's the first time that that language has been used from the Senate. Anti-Semitism, they're against Christianity, and they're against the Jews. And you know yourself, when Hitler disposed of six million Jews in the last great war, yes, they're persecuting the woman that brought forth a man-sized dead Jewish nation. that her darkest hour is coming, the great tribulation. But only God knows what it will be in that day, when the seven seals are broken. I know this year that one comes unto the Ancient of Days, and I'm convinced that Christ he does so, he comes unto the Ancient of Days, referring to God the Father. It says in verse ten, the fiery stream issued and came forth from before him, thousands, thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times, ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set and the books were opened. And also down in verse thirteen, I saw in the night vision, 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 unto him a dominion. Here is the Son coming unto the Father the ancient of days. Do you want the parallels of this? It's the fifth chapter of Revelation. Here is the Father on the throne. And the challenge is hurled. Who is able to take the foot and to loose the seals thereof? And John went. The challenge is cast down to earth. The challenge is cast down to hell. The challenge is also offered to heaven. Can anyone step forward and take the scroll out of the hand of him that stood upon the throne and execute the contents we are? And no man was found able and gone there. Is there no answer? Is there no solving a work problem? Is blood able to cease the flow? I will hear stop calling. Will hearts start breaking? What's going to happen to this world? Man doesn't have the answer. No man can accept the challenge because the challenge was passed and hurled at the earth. No man had the answer. Some did they have. They're coming deep since you'll have it. No one in heaven. Is there anyone in heaven? The Lamb steps toward the throne in chapter five of Revelation, and he tripped the book, and he loosed the seals of the ark. He began to loosen those seven seals and execute the content of it. There you have the title, Deeds of the Earth, turned by the Father over to the Son, and the Son's been reposed of his enemies of the army dead, and then set up his kingdom. unreigned for a thousand years. That's where that word until comes in, in one of these verses. Until, verse twenty-two, until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints will get their attention. That's when, if it is, it's going to pass through those dark and dreadful days that are ahead of us. Of course, many of them will be saved, but a hundred and forty-four thousand will be preserved through that great tribulation. And strand the Lamb on those vines, and then the glorious kingdom, the millennial reign of Jesus Christ. God will give him the kingdom. And at the end of that millennial reign, that final revolt, and then... The sun returns to change them back to the Father, and God shall be all and in all. You can sum up God's dealings with this planet and the human race in three days. There is the day of God. You read about the coming of the day of God. Then you have the day of the coming of Christ, the day of the Lord. And there is the day of the Holy Spirit. This is the day of the Holy Spirit. It began at Pentecost. Then the Spirit of God came down at Pentecost to gather out of all nations our people for the name of Christ. And the Spirit of God has been doing that for two thousand years. Gathering out of all nations our people for his name. Then the last soul is saved to complete the church. And that's not going to be long, in my opinion. When the last soul is saved and complete the church, then the church will go and the Holy Spirit will go with the church. For only he will now hinder us, will hinder us, until he takes us away. The spirit of God and his peasant ministry and character will leave with the bride. Then will begin the day of the Lord. Jesus Christ will take over. He'll execute those twenty-one consecutive judgments of the Book of Revelation. He'll run out of his kingdom all of the same. Then will begin the day of the Lord for one thousand years. And after that, when the final revoke is crowned, the end of the thousand years, the Son will get the kingdom back to the Father, then begin to do a cross. God shall be all and in all. Today is the day of the Spirit, the church is age. The millennium is the day of the Lord, Christ, and his earthly people, Israel. It is the day of God, including both. And throughout eternity, the pride will be that the tycoon Christ upon his throne reigning over the regime's earth, of which Israel shall be the foremost of the nation. and twelve tribes are seen in that new Jerusalem, in our governmental capacity. And then all the nations in the new heavens and the new earth will come up to Jerusalem for the worship. This is God's program. This is the glorious kingdom that the Bible tells us so much about. And to you who are not saved, I want to say this. One of these days, Christ is going to come. We've been saying it, preachers have been preaching it for years, hundreds of years. And the saying of some is, oh, well, it'll happen, but not in my days. It's going to happen in some ways. And the way things are in the world, it can quite easily be, you're there. You're there. I see where science goes, stepped up. The end of this world, another ten years. because of pollution. I heard one this week on the news. And he said, if a country in the world doesn't do something, about ten years can be taken off. The life that some scientists give the population of this earth, their human race. They cause so little is seemingly being done to track these forces that will choke off and suffocate their human race. And surely end is coming. There's no question about it. And I want to ask you this question. Are you ready? You'll notice the book is mentioned here. What a book it is. There are different books in the Bible. But there's the one I want to refer to in connection with you in the Great White throne. And it's the Lamb's Book of Life. And of course the same personalities, heavenly personalities are involved. the Father and the Son. Jesus Christ will be the executor at this judgment. The adjudicator, Christ will God will give this judgment unto the Son. And God at the point of the day in which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom He hath ordained in the earth given assurance unto all men in many occasions in the day. It is going to be a book open. and the things that are the Son of God is going to run down column after column. And if your name is not there, whose river's not, name is not found in the book of life just cast into the lake of fire. You can have your name on every church book in Albany. But if your name's not in the land's book of life, you're going to care. And ultimately the lake of fire, You know the first two human beings who are going to be in the lake of fire, the beast and the false flock. They are hauled into the lake of fire at the army of heaven. They are the first two human beings to go into the lake of fire. Zealots will go at the judgment of the great white world. Whose service name is not found written in the book of life. chance into the lake of fire. Friend, when was your name written there? In the book Bright and Fair, in the home of our Father, is your name written there? I am not interested one bit in your name being on any church register, but I am deeply interested and concerned about your name being written down in the land's book of life. And it can be written down tonight. And I'll say this, it will never be here. It will be written there in blood. And no one will ever erase it. They overcame him Satan by the blood of the Lamb. All times in the book of Revelation they read about the blood, the blood, the blood, the blood. The only way you can overcome sin and Satan. and he delivered from the condemnation of the law, and delivered from the pest on the lake that burneth the fire of themselves, is to flee to the blood of Christ. Take refuge in its value and efficacy. So put away all your sins, give you acceptance with God and a passport to mansions in the sky. Will you trust the blood of Christ? You say, yes. Will you do it tonight? Will you do it right now? That's what God wants you to do. And your name can go down in the land's book of life this very minute. And if it were to, this would be the happiest minute of your life on earth. I trust you. You'll accept Christ and those who are saved. And you'll miss these dark and dreadful days that are ahead because the church is going to be gone before the man of sin appears. Trust Christ. And we as Christians, when are we going to wake up? I don't know how many people have said to me since we've been on the book of Daniel. How do sinners sit there and listen to all those things and not do something about it? I don't know how long Christians are going to sit there and not do something about it. Not speaking the soul, getting people in, praying for the Pharisees. I said last Sunday, it looked like we got our largest crowd when we had a rough day. And I think in these meetings on the Book of Daniel, the Sunday that was the worst, we had our largest one. I said, it looks like when a good day comes, they make for a cut, all for the beach. The day was the best Sunday we've had since we started the Book of Daniel, and we had our lowest attendance. You better pray for some storms that come up on the weekends. Maybe people will put God first instead of giving the back seat. Then there's God's people going to be stirred up. And do something about souls going down to hell. The days are short. If you turn this long and what you're going to do for the Savior, you better do it now. It may be your last chapter. So we pray. Our Father in heaven in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we commend for thy presence. We ask thy blessing upon our ears, challenge our hearts with it. As Daniel heard of these things twice in this chapter, he was clever. Not that he feared his own salvation, his own relationship with these, his own deliverance. Oh God, he trembles for all the people of his day. and the last days especially, when he had revealed to him the description of the final beast in its final form. The dark day of man upon the soul, O God, he was clever. May our hearts be troubled as we think of the days in which we live. So many live for three days a day and a bed to sleep on at night. Why, poor sinners born to hell, for whom Jesus died, are not being witnessed to, spoken to, paid for, uninvited, come and hear about the only one who can save them and take them to heaven. Anyone who unsaved is my Father, speak to them, will they come to Christ? Come now in this all prayer, in the Savior's precious name. Amen. Shall we sing, closing number two, seventeen. From every soul by sin oppressed, there is mercy with the Lord. He will surely give you rest by trusting in his word. Only trust him. Only trust him. Only trust him now. He will save you. He will save you. And he will save you now. And he will stand and sit.
