I'm on the clock. Literally, I've got 20 minutes to be with you. I know you've got to be somewhere. I absolutely have to be somewhere. We're going to jump into something right now that is just I'm picking it up off the vibe, the word on the street, so to speak, the talk in the Christian community. It's even kind of spilled over in the curious non-Christian community of what is going on with the Middle East at this time and Jared Kushner, for example, Trump's son-in-law, some of the things that are being discussed and what's being discussed in Europe as well regarding the European Union and those interesting guys who get together to try to figure out how to tie their shoes quite frankly. The European Union is worthless about as useful as the UN, which stands for the United Nothing in my opinion. So there's a lot happening and in all of the dynamics of discussion, there's the conversation of the Antichrist. This is popping up a lot all of a sudden. The Antichrist, the Antichrist, this, the Antichrist, is it funny that even the unbelieving world, even CNN, here's about the Antichrist. Everybody is aware of two things, Antichrist and his number six, six, six. That might be all they know about him, but we're going to just kind of scratch the surface a little bit with the brief time that we have right now and help me state some obvious things that you're hearing. That Jared Kirschner is the Antichrist or could he be? Donald Trump's certainly the Antichrist. That it's Putin or it's Mandani in Europe, I'm in Europe, in New York, sorry. All of the speculation, I find it fascinating that people are wanting to talk about end time stuff. Why? Right? Ask the question, why? Why do people care all of a sudden? It's good to care. I just think it's fantastic because it proves our point that we've been standing on for 2000 years is that the Bible's true and that as you approach the end of time, there'll be certain extremely key element events that will begin to surface. One of them is very interesting because this man, the Antichrist, you want to make sure that you're not tricked or in any way sloppy about reading first John, not John chapter one. I'm talking about in the Bible right near the book of Revelation is first, second, and third John. And first John talks about the Antichrist is coming that there's a spirit of Antichrist and that there are those who preach false doctrines and do false miracles and their Antichrist plural. So think about that for a moment. There's the Antichrist who's an actual person that is going to be the famous Mr. 666. Then there are those who are false prophets and teachers. They are Antichrist plural. And then all of that operates in the atmosphere of the spirit of Antichrist. Make sure you understand that. Again, you can check that in more detail in first John. That said, let's go to Revelation chapter 13. Revelation chapter 13. Give you time to turn there. If not, you can catch up. Verse one, then I stood on the sand of the sea and I saw a beast rising up out of the sea. Number one, you're going to want to read the book of Daniel. It's not long. But immediately Revelation chapter 13 verse one tells me, I better go back and look at the book of Daniel. And why? Daniel chapter 2, Daniel chapter 7, Daniel chapter 11, you're going to want to read just the book of Daniel because you're going to be seeing how God sees the kingdoms of this world as brute-based and man sees the kingdoms of this world. In images of gold and silver and bronze, man sees himself in power as glorious. God sees man in power as raw, brutal, destructive beast. So John says, and he's seeing this vision, Revelation 13, that I stood on the sand of the sea and I saw a beast rising up out of the sea having seven heads and ten horns. And on his horns, ten crowns and on his heads, heads blasphemous, a blasphemous name. Again, go to the book of Daniel. You're going to find out that everything is answered. Book of Daniel answers the book of Revelation. The heads, the horns, the crowns are all, I'll just, because of time, I'm going to put it this way. They all deal with political rulers and kingdoms and powers that are to come in the last days. For example, the word horn or horns from Old Testament into the book of Revelation as well speaks of a king or monarch or someone of great authority. Verse two, now the beast which I saw was like a leopard and his feet were like the feet of a bear and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon, who do you think the dragon is? What do we know from the Bible about who the dragon is? Book of Revelation tells us that the dragon is none other than Satan himself. And so the dragon gave him this beast person his power, his throne and great authority. So we're talking about Satan the dragon giving power and authority and a throne to this one that we're going to find out will be the antichrist. And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded. This is so critical. Listen to this everybody. John said I saw one of his heads. So the empire of the antichrist begins to arise. The antichrist will preside over this system. The dragon will give him the powers. All of this in operation is the spirit of the antichrist and those that are working with him are antichrists in their actions, doctrines and by the spirit that leads them. And it's all about bringing about elevating up into position in politics, the Mr. antichrist and watch how this gets incredibly fascinating. It says that I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded. What do we know about that? We know, mark it down if you would for again, I'm so sorry, but I'm going to let you be the Bible student. I'll be the stimulator and you be the student. You're going to want to go look at Zechariah chapter 11 verse 17 specifically to find out more about the antichrist is going to receive a wound. There might be an assassination attempt on his life at some point in time that catapult some into stardom by the way. And notice that the Bible is so specific. It says he got a he received a wound in his head as if it were mortal as if it were mortal. What does that mean? It means it's not mortal. It means it looks mortal. It sure came across as being mortal when we saw it happen on the TV. Oh my gosh, that was mortal. Well, the Bible is telling the people of the future that this mortal what appears to be a mortal head wound to this antichrist is very important. It's very important to the future world of the antichrist during those seven years that are yet to come. Listen to this. And his deadly wound, here the word deadly, was healed in all the world marveled and followed the beast. So pose right there. I think it was Bill Mar who said I may be off, but it was one of the progressive lefties when Trump when Trump was wounded. One of those political pundits said he just won the election. Do you remember hearing that? He just won the election. Why did he say that? Because all of a sudden people saw something in this man. Oh man, he's willing to take a bullet what he believes in. Hey, look at Charlie Kirk. You want to know why people are responding to Charlie Kirk's assassination? Because Charlie Kirk died for what he believed in and that's attractive. And the whole world is responding. Think about that. This man the antichrist when he is a survivor of what look like a mortal fatal wound. The world is going to marvel at this guy. What a dude. Oh my gosh, he's got my if he got shot like that, then I it is I have to support him. The world is going to wonder and be marveling at that verse four. So they worshiped the dragon Satan who gave authority to the beast and they worshiped the beast saying who is like the beast who was able to make war with him. And he was given a great mouth speaking great things and blasphemous and blasphemies. He was given authority to continue. I love it. Are you ready for this? What does it say 42 months? Oh my gosh, listen, 42 months people, please, please, please. Don't believe me when I tell you take whoops, take the Bible literally when it says it's literal and when it says it's typological, it will tell you typology illustration as if he had a mortal wound. He's going to look like he's dead, but he's not dead. Okay. When the Bible says right here that he's going to continue for 42 months. Are you kidding me? Is the Bible that perfect? Absolutely. By the way, 42 months in the Bible, all biblical time is based upon what's known as a hexa hexa H E X A hexa decimal system. A hexa decimal system is Babylonian. And we use it to this day and you you're going to you're going to get it in a moment. All dates, all times, all years in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation are based on a hexa hexa hexa decicle. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Again, say it now hexa decimal calendar system, which is a 360 day year. The Bible knows nothing about a 365 day year. All years in the Bible are 360 days. And it's the most accurate. The compass on your handheld compass or on your flight panel or on your sailboat. Is it is a 360 five degrees are 360 degrees 360 360 is the number 42 months based upon a 360 day year, which means it's 1260 days. That's critical when it comes to the book of Revelation. 1260 days is the middle of the tribulation period or 42 months. Is that amazing? If I had like a little device right now, I would turn on the applause and the crowd going, the Bible, man, read it slow because it is pure truth. Then he opened his mouth and blasphemy, blasphemy against God to blasphemy God's name, his tabernacle. That's amazing because his tabernacles in heaven. And those who dwell in heaven, it was granted to him to make war with the saints hang under your seats. Everybody. This is a revelation 13, seven. By the way, mark it down. My memory is serving me right right about now. Daniel 21. I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah. No, Daniel 7 verse 21. Daniel 7 verse 21 is answering Revelation 13, seven. We're going to find out who these people are. Cheer up. It's good news for you. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them to destroy them, to kill them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue and nation. That's the antichrist. The antichrist is going to kill the believers during the tribulation period. Those are tribulation saints. The antichrist is going to be given power to kill the believers during the tribulation period. They're not the church. They are tribulation saints. People who are replacement theology knuckleheads, they talk about the church being destroyed during the tribulation based on Revelation 13 right here. And Daniel 7 and they're completely wrong. Those are the believers that come to faith when the 144,000 Jews from 12,000 from every tribe are preaching the gospel to the entire world during the tribulation period. And John says he sees a mess. Awakening of the loss to get saved so great is the number of those that get saved during the tribulation period that nobody can count them. Those are tribulation saints and they will have to die for their faith. The antichrist is going to be given power over them and they're going to die. Please don't ever again say that that's the church because it says saints. That's a big argument for the post-trib people and the replacement theology people. It's insane. Folks, listen, David is a saint. Noah is a saint. Abraham is a saint. Okay. Tribulation saints are saints. The church is called saints. The only difference out of the three, there's three categories. The only difference is that only the church is called the bride of Christ. The other two wear white robes. Okay. The church is the only one that wears fine white linen, clean and bright. Revelation 19. Verse 8 says, all who dwell on the earth will worship him whose names have not been written in the book of the, this is important. I get this right. Whose names have not been written in the book of life of the lamb or otherwise known as the lamb's book of life. There's the book of life and then there's the lamb's book of life. If your name is not written in the lamb's book of life, then your name in the day of judgment will be blotted out of the book of life. Did you get that? Let me repeat it. If you don't come to Christ and receive the Lamb of God, Jesus, then your name will not appear in the lamb's book of life. If your name does not appear in the lamb's book of life, it's blotted out of the book of life. But if your name appears in the lamb's book of life, when we're reading about your Revelation 13, your name will not be blotted out out of the book of life. In other words, to be born twice, right? To be born twice keeps your name in both books. And by the way, there's more than just two books. By the way, there's book of works. There's the book of remembrance. Anyway, I don't want to get off on another topic. So from the lamb's book of life, from the foundation of the world, that's awesome. It means pre-time. God knew who these people would be. If anyone has ear, dear, let him hear. He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity. And he who kills will be with the sword will be killed. He who's killed with the sword shall with the sword be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. Then I saw another beast. Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. Ooh, the first one was coming up out of the sea. This next one comes up out of the earth. And he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon, like a dragon. So we know, we know one thing we know for sure. He's not Satan. He speaks like Satan, the dragon, but he's not a dragon. He speaks like a dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. You know who we're talking about? Write it down in your notes. Research it later. We're talking about now the false prophet, the false prophet. So beast number one is the rise of the antichrist, the man. Beast number two here, another beast is the religious false prophet of Satan's unholy trinity. Okay, think of that. There's father Satan. I just that's just that just scared me. I have to go. This is terrible. If you unsubscribe, I told you to get it. We're going to have to pick this up next time. So listen, next I tell you what, next time get some people together, get all your bibles out and we'll see what happens. But I got to go. I got to go. You got to go. We all have got to go. We were talking about, by the way, before I say goodbye, we were talking about maybe taking this topic or maybe taking all all all Bible prophecy starting from Genesis 315, which is the first prophecy in the Bible. What if we did like a like an all day podcast, like a three hour podcast, five hour podcast, we just start in one end and go all the way through to the book of Revelation chapter 22 and we'll just do this. Instead of a 30,000 foot flyover, maybe we'll do like a 10,000 foot flyover. Get down kind of close, cover the whole thing. Maybe we'll have to bring in lunch and you'll do the same and we'll just keep going and do like some insane marathon podcast. But we can we can certainly make up for what just happened just now. Got a lot more to talk about and we'll pick this up soon. Sorry. God bless you guys. Take care. Read your bibles. Read the book of Daniel. Read the book of Revelation. That's your homework. That's your assignment. God bless you guys until next time. This Jack Hibbs podcast as well as all the broadcast outreach opportunities are listener supported.
