Better watch out, Better not shout, Because Satan, “The King of Fierce Countenance” is coming to town!
SOON!
And
many people who call themselves Christian will worship him believing he is Christ as he will claim to be. Why? Because most of our Christian churches
aren't teaching us how to tell the difference between WHAT IS HOLY (Jesus) and
WHAT IS PROFANE
(Satan)!
However,
we know that
this vision of Daniel is for the time of the end, the latter part of the
generation of the fig tree when globalization has taken place, i.e.
when the
ethnic nations and the kingdoms (royal
nations of the
house of Israel, i.e.the Christian
nations) would
rise alongside each other in the marketplace.
The
point is, we have
not seen two horns of the ram come and push the very fabric of the
world order
such as we have seen the United States and England do in the resent
past.
Could
it be that we
will see an he-goat come up before long?
We
can only speculate
and wait and see, but I think we will.
The
world stage
is certainly set for trouble for these two, especially if they push as
nonnegotiable the "road map" to peace in the Middle East with the
same resolve they did their stand on the Iraq issue at the UN.
One
thing we do know
from the next verse though, is that when the great horn is broken, the
New
World Order comes into full swing, but not in his (earthly) power...
[Daniel
8:22] Now
that being
broken, whereas four stood up for it(i.e.
in its place),
four kingdoms shall
stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
... for the power it
shall be in is that of the hands of a king of fierce countenance.
[23] And
in the latter
time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are
come
to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding
dark sentences, shall stand up.
Here
we have yet another
name for the "little horn"... "a king of
fierce
countenance" who understands dark sentences, meaning he is able
to take
the light of truth and twist it and turn it into lies and deception
which is
spiritual darkness. Who do we know who does just that?
Yes, you're right, Satan.
In
other words, the New World
Order will not just be controlled by the kenites who have used the four
hidden
dynasties to bring it about,
but rather it shall be "powered" by
antichrist,
that religious abomination who comes
and stands in the holy place and causes
all that spiritual desolation by taking away the daily sacrifice as he
gathers
the people to worship him as God.
Daniel
8:24
And his
power shall be mighty, but not by his
own
power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall
prosper,
and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy
people.
If
you remember who it
was that gave the king of Babylon all his power, the One who sets up
kings and
removes kings, the One who has all power and uses whomsoever He will,
then you
will have no problem with this verse.
It
is written that our
Father sends the king of Babylon, the king of fierce countenance, even
the
nation of fierce countenance, to
chastise and test His
children.
Deut.
28:49-50
The
LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far,
from the end of the
earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt
not
understand;
[50] A
nation of fierce
countenance,
which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the
young:
In
fact, our Father
even
calls Satan's locust army in the Book of Joel, His
army (Joel
2:11)!
But notice how it is
that the king of fierce countenance "destroys".
First,
he destroys (spiritually
deceives) "wonderfully",
meaning he does it with "wonders" and "miracles" which make him prosper,
i.e. become very successful!
The next verse gives
us even more insight as to how
this spurious messiah destroys many.
[25] And
through his
policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he
shall
magnify himself in his heart, and by
peace shall destroy many: he
shall also stand
up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Craft means deceit,
which he shall cause to prosper in his hand and many will lend their
hands in
helping him to prosper, which
is what having the "mark in
their right hand" means... doing the work of Satan, being his
right hand
man.
However,
notice that he
shall destroy many by PEACE!
Tell
it to the Children! Tell it to their Children! and to your
great-grandchildren!
The
"little
horn", the "king of fierce countenance", the "king of
Babylon", Satan, enters in
PEACEFULLY and PROSPEROUSLY.
He is
not going to go
around killing people for he's far too smart for that.
Tell
it to the Children! Tell it to their Children! and to your
great-grandchildren!
He's
simply going to
spread his flood of lies and deception by miraculous wonders to
convince the
world he's Jesus.
Remember,
the war that
we are to prepare for by putting on the gospel armor (Eph.
6) is
a spiritual war, not
a war
against flesh and blood!
[26] And
the vision of
the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou
up the
vision; for it shall be for many days.
The
vision may have been
for many days to Daniel,
but it will not be for you and me because we can
count on it happening in the generation of the fig tree (which
we are to learn
about) as
per Jesus Christ's own words in Mark
13 and Matthew 24!
Matthew
24:34
Verily
I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all
these
things be fulfilled.
