After such craziness, a way out will
be provided to mankind. This way will be totalitarian but will have the feel of
being for-the-people. It is still a human government so will have the craziness
of in-fighting. Exciting times are afoot and God’s people will be brought more
into discernable focus. In the prior two periods they could somewhat blend in.
Not so much in this society. Let us look at the scriptures.
Daniel 7:6. "After
that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a
leopard. And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. This beast had
four heads, and it was given authority to rule."
Daniel 11:20-30. 20 "His successor will send out a tax collector to maintain the royal splendor. In a few years, however, he will be destroyed, yet not in anger or in battle. 21 "He will be succeeded by a contemptible person who has not been given the honor of royalty. He will invade the kingdom when its people feel secure, and he will seize it through intrigue. 22 Then an overwhelming army will be swept away before him; both it and a prince of the covenant will be destroyed. 23 After coming to an agreement with him, he will act deceitfully, and with only a few people he will rise to power. 24 When the richest provinces feel secure, he will invade them and will achieve what neither his fathers nor his forefathers did. He will distribute plunder, loot and wealth among his followers. He will plot the overthrow of fortresses—but only for a time. 25 "With a large army he will stir up his strength and courage against the king of the South. The king of the South will wage war with a large and very powerful army, but he will not be able to stand because of the plots devised against him. 26 Those who eat from the king's provisions will try to destroy him; his army will be swept away, and many will fall in battle. 27 The two kings, with their hearts bent on evil, will sit at the same table and lie to each other, but to no avail, because an end will still come at the appointed time. 28 The king of the North will return to his own country with great wealth, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant. He will take action against it and then return to his own country. 29 "At the appointed time he will invade the South again, but this time the outcome will be different from what it was before. 30 Ships of the western coastlands will oppose him, and he will lose heart. Then he will turn back and vent his fury against the holy covenant. He will return and show favor to those who forsake the holy covenant.

Matthew 24:7b,8. "There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. But all these things are only the beginning of the birth pains."
Mark 13:8b. "There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains."
Luke 21:11. "There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven."
Revelation 6:5,6. "When He broke the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come.” I looked, and behold, a black horse; and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine.”"
Ok this beast is interesting. Due to
the Kings switching up again I would assume that this is the manifestation of
the New World Order that is spoke of through much of the West at this time. Also
due to the friendliness of Freemasons within the South King it will probably
come from within the think tanks of their borders. The beast itself tells you
of its influence. The wings tell me that it will have a world wide presence; even
more so than the winged lion. He only had two. This beastie has twice the
flight power. Also it has four heads. This could refer to four leaders with the
same agenda. The four corners of the earth come to mind. And it is fast. The
world will be so ready for it that it is blinding how fast the world will
accept it.
The first order of the day is to
take inventory of people, things, food, and set up the kingdom to see what is
left. Then go about a system of tax paying. I know its pretty literal but if
you were getting money through the Federal Reserve system in your last hay-day
and it worked, I’m pretty sure you are going to set another one up pretty
quickly. Again the rest of Daniel 11 is hard to pin down due to the specific
nature of the prophecy. From looking at it though, it will not be the best run
administration. So this New World Order is going to be a badly working New
World Disaster. It will answer the question definitely that we will not be able
to rule ourselves.
Jesus words let’s us know that
earthquakes are going to get worse and famines will mark this period.
Interestingly this is why the Christians will stand out a little more because I
think that those who are truly following him will begin to find each other and
pray more and actually look to survive together. It will be scary for all
mankind but those who are truly depending on God for their lives will mentally
be the best people to be around in those days.
If you look at Revelation 6:5, 6 you
will see that the world is going to be starving. Something will be occurring
with the food supply so that the availability to it will not be as available as
today.
The most interesting thing I notice
is that Daniel stays on the topic of the governmental rangling for power while Jesus
words are staying with his followers. If you look upon the sets of scriptures from
the Conqueror till now, you actually see a slow separation of thought and
spirit. For example during the Warrior Period, you see that Jesus was speaking
of nation against nation and Daniel was describing much of the same, in this
period Jesus is focusing more on the survival of his people. This is the
separation of his people from the rest of the world. It will be by action and
by how well we show love amongst ourselves.
I will revisit the planet x theory
here for a moment. It is said that if a planet were to get closer to us that
our magnetic poles could shift and due to the opposite way this planet is
approaching it could be a very violent shift. This would mean huge planetary
earth quakes, tsunamis, longer days, longer nights, entire continents appearing
from no where, entire continents disappearing, mountains being laid flat,
extreme cold, and extreme heat. That sounds quite biblical. That is why I give
the theory pause because if anything would cause the sun to darken and moon to
turn blood red, a planet moving into our solar system would, especially a red
planet full of iron oxide. Iron oxide is like a red dust.
Also
note worthy is that we may loose the ability to grow plant life due to the slow
arrival of this interstellar planet. Look at this. “A change in the rotation axis of the Earth, or its spin rate would be
catastrophic. The number of the seasons would change and their duration. If the
rotation axis became parallel to the orbital plane, as for Uranus, we could have
winter in the Northern hemisphere for 6 months followed by summer. The Sun
would set on the entire Northern hemisphere and not rise again for 6 months.
Less extreme axial tilts would produce a different pattern of seasons at each
earth latitude. Growing seasons
and all of the natural cycles of the biosphere would be catastrophically
affected, and if the change happened in a year or so, no living things,
especially plants, would survive unmolested. There would not be enough time for
plants to genetically alter their growing cycles. Large diebacks of plant
ecosystems would occur followed by the animals that feed on the plants, and then the carnivores...etc etc.”

I think that
could lead to a lot of starvation.
Especially
sobering is what Dan 11 mentions about the King at the end of verse 30. He is
going to show favor to those who are forsaking the covenant. Now we have
something that is different starting here. Before it was always a focus on
running mankind or what system works best. Now it seems that leadership is
going to a more direct approach. We are about to see the dragon take shape.
Christianity has always been in place since Jesus died. It has had its opponents
and supporters throughout the years. The 7 letters to the 7 congregations can
give us a good idea of what has transpired with Christ’s body and what will
occur. I will have more on that in Chapter 7. Let us take a look at the final
period.
