It's Happening Now - Part #2 Series

Before I can move on

Open: - I need to address something before I move forward on this lesson. I received some feedback from last week’s lesson, and some didn’t quite understand it, some couldn’t follow it, some felt it was too complicated, and even questioned if I felt I was being led by God with what I was presenting. I have a statement written in the front of my Bible I wrote in there about 30 years ago that says “If you cannot make a child understand the Gospel then your presentation of it is too complicated”. I strive to make sure I use that standard in every lesson, sermon, and message I present, and it has been my determination to always present the simplicity of the Word of God, not to try to impress with enticing words or pump up your emotions like a cheerleader at a football game, but challenge you to search the scriptures by presenting the simple unadulterated truth because it’s the truth that makes you free.

So, I need to back up slow down a little and establish a sure and truthful foundation before I can move forward so everyone can understand without a shadow of a doubt that you will understand what the beast system is, who the whore of Revelation is that you will never look at Revelation the same again, and understand “It’s Happening Now” that is my desire.

PRAYER

SCRIPTURE: - Revelation 13:1-3 “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. 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”.

The Bible will explain itself if you let it. Revelation 17:15 says “And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues”. So, the sea that John saw was a nation of people. You can’t get more direct than that, that is an answer directly from an angel. Daniel 2:36-45 Daniel interprets Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and explains Kingdoms.

Vs#2 says, “And the beast (the governmental system in America) 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”. Here John describes the beast he sees, notice it is a combination of all four of the beast Daniel describes back in Daniel 7:1-7, the Lion (Babylon), the Bear (Medo-Pers), the Leopard (Greece), and the Terrible Beast with Iron Teeth (Rome) then he says where this beast gets its power from and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. Revelation 12:9 tells exactly who this is “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world”.

Understand when John had this prophecy in 94 A.D. it was a prophecy of a system that would rise to dominate minds, enslave economies, silence truth, rewrite history, that demands allegiance, has long profited off the labors of the saints, has persecuted the children of God, killed the prophets, waged war against the elect, stolen our identity, sold our children, raped our women and has systematically targeted black and brown people for centuries.

The sea from which the beast rose from is the unrest, agitation, disturbance and disruption of humanity, nations, and tongues entangled with the chaos and storms of power and corruption in politics, religions, education, social dynamics, and judicial policies that are ever twisting in utter disobedience to moral conscious not to mention that are totally contrary to the Will and Word of God. It is out of that sea that rose something that seemed organized, powerful and unstoppable that is ruled and given its power by the dragon the devil. Understand this is more than just a Biblical prophecy that should be understood by all the people of God, it is a SPIRITUAL REVELATION, a literal right now AH-HA moment on how Satan uses, has used, and is especially using It’s Happening Now systems. Our very Government, and leaders to establish a world system that requires total allegiance to itself, worship to itself, loyalty to itself instead of to God. Just look at the asinine remarks that came out of Trump’s mouth this week about executing 6 members of Congress for sedition because he felt they told the military to disobey him when they only told them what Military Law requires and anyone that ever took the Military Oath would know.
