RISE OF THE BEAST POWER!
Over the many year of being in God’s Church, most of us have been praying and looking forward to the
return of Jesus the Christ and God our Fathers Kingdom to come.
The Apostle John in the last book in the Bible unveils conditions on the earth at the end of this age, that will
show the following factors to be manifested. World rulers will be satanically energized, glorifying the dragon and
his beast image to be worshiped! They will be acknowledged as possessing supreme military power. Both the dragon
and the beast will exercises their universal authority that will persecute all believers in Christ. The study of God’s
word shows both dragon and beast are deceivers and will exercises economic dictatorship.
Many of today’s Bible prophecy writers have looked into this question, “Who is the Revelation 13 beast ?
” Several have come up with the determination that the United State of America fit all the characteristics of the beast
power of Revelation 13.
When studying Revelation 13, we find the beast worshiped by men, they are not only amazed over the beast,
they actually worship the beast as god! They also have a worship relationship with the dragon. “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? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and
blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in
blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle, and them that dwell in Heaven. And it was
given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds,
[nationalities] and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not
written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Rev 13:4-8).
Worshiping the beast is in fact worshiping the dragon (Satan). The beast is but the visible agency of the dragon,
carrying out the dragon’s program.
When taking a good look at Revelation 13, along with Daniel 11, we can see that the United States fits into
this description! And who else, but Barack Hussian Obama, who was raised a Muslim and claims to be a Christian,
is fulfilling the verses found in Daniel chapter 11. “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. And with
the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with
a small people [a tight nit group of comrades]. He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province;
and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey,
and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time” (Dan 11: 21-24). Daniel is clearly describing a person and his following like we see in those that are in Washington, D.C.
Our study of Barack Hussian Obama reveals, he has a cult like following and is determined to fundamentally
change America! He has the media, Hollywood, and Democrats, talking about him as if he is a god like figure.
Five years ago I gave a sermon titled “Nimrod Resurrected.” This was during the first year of Obama
being in the Presidential office! Listed is some of the statements that were made about Obama at that time! One
unidentified person said, “You ,feel like god is speaking to you.” Denzel Washington said, “The apostle Paul,
Moses, John the Baptist– he is like one of them. Seriously, he is like one of those apostles for our day. He came to
lead us to the original design of what we are supposed to do on this earth.” Don King commentated, “I would say
that he would be like Joshua going across to the promised land.”
The World Net Daily reported on Obama’s 100th day in office, “He will be “crowned” in messianic imagery
at New York City’ s Union Square’s south plaza with his arm outstretched and wearing a crown of thorns upon his
head – Obama appearing will be much like Jesus Christ on the cross: and a-top his head a crown of thorns.”
Another piece in the World Net Daily, titled the “The Truth,” suggest a play on biblical themes, to what Jesus said
in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by Me.”
There was seen an Obama sculpture, at the Iowa State Capital, showing him riding a donkey, assembled by
artist Matthew J Clark. The sculpture of Obama riding a donkey was preceded by waving palm fronds, reminiscent
of Jesus entry into Jerusalem, mimicking the 21st Chapter of Matthew.
Islam leader Louis Farrakhan declared, “When Obama talks, “The messiah is absolutely speaking.”
Farrakhan also proclaimed, “Oboma is the instruments that god is going to use to bring about universal change,
in America.”
All the spiritual talk these people have said is nonsense!! Most bloviating of what was said back then is not
being said today. Those who voted for the un-vetted Obama, with his sealed grades and ignorance, said in one of
his ridiculous memoirs “if things go south, I will stand with the Muslims!” That was where he was standing when
speaking at the United Nations building on Sept. 2014.
Dr. Dam Vaknin. an Israeli doctor, who specializes in the study of narcissists. The doctor said “Obama has
proven himself to be a narcissists. He is quoted as saying, “Obama has a mental disorder. Obama’s language,
posture and demeanor suggests that the man is either a narcissist or he may have a narcissistic personality disorder
(npd) narcissists project. A grandiose but false image of themselves. Jim Jones, the charismatic leader of People’s
Temple, the man who led over 900 of his followers to cheerfully commit mass suicide and even murder their own
children was also a narcissist. Charles Manson, Joseph Koni, Stalin, Saddam, Moa, Kim Jong Ill and Adolph Hitler.
Are a few narcissists of our time, all these men had a tremendous influence over their fanciers” End of Quote.
It was not until Barack Hussian Obama, a stranger and foreigner, took office, did the United States have or
ever had a president that lied as much as he has! He has changed law and regulations of this country by fiat! He
does not follow the Constitution of the United States of America! He has caused division in the races of this country
as never before, except for the time of the Civil War. He has cause chaos and destruction in every country he has
decided to help! We see Libya, Iraq, and now Syria, being taken over by terrorists that are on the march to destroy
as many countries as they can. Because Obama leads from behind, he has given rise to more destruction. It has
come subtlety, just like Satan’s active working behind the scenes, not being transparent.
In rare news reports, say, “Barack Hussian Obama is given much of his directions comes from the women
in his cabinet. Valerie Jarrett, his Iranian born, top advisior, is the main driver in the White House, she was the one
who went to Iran and started the peace action over nuclear reactors. Susan Rice is the next in line as Chief Security
advisor and Samantha Power as the United Nations Ambassador for the United States! Most of his top advisors are
women!”
What does God say about that? Notice Isaiah 3: 12, “As for My people, children are their oppressors, and
women rule over them. O My people, they which lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.”
This fake war on women as told by the Demon-crates, is dividing the country as never before! Just as Satan had
deceived Eve, we are now being deceived by Satan and his demons, who are destroying this beautiful country.
We have heard Obama say over and over again, that we are not a Christian nation! Then went on to name
a list of other nations religions along with ours! What has that statement escalated into? Today, Christians are
told not to pray in public building, schools or in meetings! Obama’s Judge David Hamilton, ruling on prayer said,
“ Jesus Christ or using terms such as “Savior” amounted to State endorsement of a religion. But he ruled prayers
to “Allah” were perfectly lawful. The judge continued, “if those offering prayers choose to use the Arabic “Allah”
the court sees little risk that the choice of language would advance a particular religion or disparage others.” Is the
famine of God’s word just around the corner ??
I believe this White House that advertises “change you can believe in” is now being made clear, and a famine
of God’s word is very near! It is not hard to see where some Bible teachers feel the United States is the “final
Babylon.”
Confusion reigns wildly in this country. We no longer have a moral Christian nation. We have lost the
pride of our country. There is no entity other than the U.S.A. that can impose its political and commercial will
upon this entire planet! From a military standpoint, America remains unchallenged by any singular state or alliance
of nations. It has been termed the “New Roman Empire,” some 10-12 years ago by Russian’s President, Valdimir
Putin!
Title such as that have disappeared since Barack Hussian Obama the stranger and foreigner moved into the
White House. Until then we were considered a Christian nation! By removing God’s name and His laws, we are
going to witness seeing this country be destroy just as Revelation 18 points out. God says to us His people, “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. And I
heard another voice from heaven, saying, come out of her, My people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that
you receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities” (Rev
18:1-5)
No nation on earth has sent out more smut in movies, music, television and let me add music “Rock
Concerts,” that are working their way into many corner and mega churches today! The U.S. is the leading nation
in pornography and evil! Because we have turned our back on God and denied His laws, statutes and judgments,
He is going to judge us more harshly!
Tying prophecy in with news like this should bring to our attention, that there is not much time left before
all the houses of Israel, as we know them today, will cease to exist as God fearing nations!!
Judgment as we today know begins with the house of God – the house of Israel, who we, the United States
of America are! The Apostle Peter warns us: “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God:
and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely
be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? (1 Peter 4:17-19).
Fox News Channel uses two phrases quite often, “fair and balanced” and “we report- you decide!” God uses:
“He that has an ear, let him hear what the spirit saith unto the churches.” That put responsibility on us!
The world’s daily news reported on what religion teaches constitutes a hate crime! “The anti-Christian
caucus of the U.S. House of Representative has acted today to lay the legal foundation and framework to investigate,
and prosecute pastors, youth pastor, Bible teachers, and anyone else whose Bible speech and thought is based upon
and reflects the truth found in the Bible. A pastor’s sermon could be considered “hate speech” under this Legislation
if heard by an individual who then acts aggressively against person based on ‘sexual orientation.’ The pastor could
be prosecuted for ‘conspiracy to commit a hate crime.” Reading reports like that hints strongly that a famine of
God’s word is just around the corner.
Does God’s word describe what the beasts appearance might look like who will hold the highest office in
the United States of America? Notice Deut 17:14-15, “When you have come unto the land which the Lord your
God gives to you, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, And shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the
nations that are about me; you shalt in any wise set him king over you, whom the Lord thy God shall choose: one
from among your brethren shalt you set king over you: you may not set a stranger [foreigner] over you, which is
not your brother.”
Read how James Moffatt translates these verses, “When you reach the country which the Eternal your God
gives you and take possession of it and live in it, if you say to yourself, “I must have a king over me, like all the
nations around me, then you may appoint a king whom the Eternal your God chooses. You must make one of your
own country-men king over you; you must not put a foreigner over you, who is not a fellow-countryman! [a
fellow Israelite].
God as the sovereign ruler of this universe, brings two thoughts to mind. One is, men and woman doing
their own choosing decide their destiny and in rejecting God’s principles accomplish their own ruin. The second
thought is, when man refuse to submit to the government of God’s laws, they are unfit to govern a nation or
themselves!
In the fifth book on God’s law, Deut 28:43-45 emphases, “The stranger [this could be looked at as a
person of color or from a mixed multitude] that is within your borders shall get up above you very high; and
you shalt come down very low. He shall be the head, and you shalt be the tail. Moreover all these curses shall come
upon you, and shall pursue you, and overtake you, till you be destroyed; because you hearkened not unto the voice
of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you.”
We now have a president who will not show proof that he is a natural born citizen of the United States of
America. He will not reveal voluntarily His birth certificate, college records, – or passport to be seen or examined
to certify that he is a natural born citizen. Many on the Internet are now questioning his being the president, even
many from the black community.
We now have a foreigner ruling over us! And he is not a fellow citizen of the U.S.A. All indications are this
new war will have begun paving the way for the real beginning of Jacob s trouble. Jeremiah states, “Now these
are the words that the Lord spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah. For thus saith the Lord; we have heard
a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask you now, and see whether a man doth travail with child?
Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into
paleness? Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be
saved out of it” (Jer 30:4-7).
Since Barack Hussian Obama took office there have been many attacks on U.S. soil by Muslims: the Little
Rock shooting of a soldier, the Fort Hood shooting of several soldiers, the shoe bomber who flubbed his mission,
Boston bombing where several were killed and many injured. Benghazi killings and now a woman was beheaded
at an Oklahoma food processing plant and another injured!
We are now seeing events that will be causing great and sudden distress knocking at the U.S. door! Jesus
the Christ, spoke of these hardship to His disciples: “For nation shall rise against nation, and government against
government: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. Vs. 21, For then shall
be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Vs. 8 told
us, “All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Vs. 22 says, “And except those days should be shortened, there should
No flesh be saved: but for the elect's [ first fruit’s ] sake those days shall be shortened” (Matt 24: 7,21,8,22).
Matthew 24=Mark 13 = Luke 21, all fore- shadow what we can expect to see and live, just ahead. On the
Feast of Trumpets, I spoke of the 6 seals being opened in Revelation 6. A seal is like a chapter in a book, each
chapter reveals something different, so removing the 6 seals from a closed scroll, we find something newly said
behind each seal. In Revelation, chapter 6, we see a pattern emerging, that Matthew, Mark, and Luke brought to
our attention. “Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with
a voice like thunder, "come and see." And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a
crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. [This is what the stranger in the White
House is doing].
When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "come and see." Another horse,
fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should
kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword. When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living
creature say, "come and see." So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his
hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, a quart of wheat for a denarius, and three
quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine. Vs. 7, When he opened the fourth seal, I heard
the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "come and see." So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name
of him who sat on it was death, and hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth,
to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth” (Rev 6:1-8 NKJ).
Looking back in the Old Testament we read what Joel was inspired to write about the end time ahead. “Alas
for the day! For the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come. Is not the food
cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God? The seed is rotting under their clods, the
garden’s are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered [dried up]. How do the beasts groan!
The herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate. O Lord,
to you will I cry: for the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame has burned all the trees of the
field. The beasts of the field cry also unto you: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire has devoured the
pastures of the wilderness” (Joel 1:15-20). Israel nations are witnessing a curse because of their sins! Read – Lev
26 and Deu 28, it will also refresh in your mind what is ahead!
We should by way of analogy consider the fall of ancient Babylon and question, is this the beginning time
that is going to tip the scales for the collapse of America? Is God's handwriting on the wall? Have we been weighed
in the balances and been found wanting like Babylon was?
Daniel chapter 5:1-30, speaks about this hand writing on the wall. As strong as Babylon’s defense was at
that time it fell captive that very night to the Medes and Persians. Our nation could fall in one day if an electro
magnetic bomb were to explode over the United States! Everything would shut down, because all power sources
would be burned up!
Prophetic events now taking place should alert us to the fact that America and the other houses of Israel have
very little time left before God’s judgment on them begins. We are informed by Ezekiel that, “Moreover the word
of the Lord came unto me, saying, also, you son of man, thus saith the Lord God unto the land of Israel; an end, the
end is come upon the four corners of the land. Now is the end come upon you, and I will send mine anger upon you,
and will judge you according to your ways, and will recompense upon you all your abominations. And mine eye
shall not spare you, neither will I have pity: But I will recompense your ways upon you, and your abominations shall
be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am the Lord. Thus saith the Lord God; an evil, an only evil, behold,
is come. An end is come, the end is come: it watch’s for you; behold, it is come. The morning is come unto you, O
you that dwells in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near” (Ezekiel 7: 1- 7).
These are sobering problems in view of Bible prophecies! As God's people we should be able to understand
the climaxing end of Satan’s rule is staring at all of us in the face! Now is the time and need to draw near to our
God!
Joel tell us, “Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn you even to Me with all your heart, and with fasting,
and with weeping, and with mourning: and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God:
for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents Him of the evil” (Joel 2:12-13).
Time is swiftly passing by and final end time events are being seen today! End time prophecies are beginning
to take place! ☜
