Pamphlet 5023 KC Daniel 6-3
The New World Order is going to come crashing down HARD and be broken to smithereens!
So after learning who the 10 kings are, let us now return to the book of Daniel and pick it up in chapter two verse forty-four and see how these 10 kings make out in their war against the called, the chosen, and the faithful.
Daniel 2:44
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
In other words, all peoples, nations, and languages shall bow to Christ's authority, His name, and rulership shall not be left in the hands of red, socialistic, communistic rulers of oppression.
As it is written, the nations shall be ruled with a rod of iron under the authority of Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the Lords of lords, and the saints of the most high who shall come and TAKE the kingdom and possess the kingdom and reign with Christ for a thousand years.
The kingdom therefore shall NOT be left to other people!
Don't take my word for it!
It is written, and so shall it be.
Daniel 7:18
But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
Rev. 11:15
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever.Rev. 20:6
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Daniel 2:45
Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
And the fact that the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold, are all broken to pieces at the same time, the time when "the stone cut out of the mountain (of God) without hands", i.e. Jesus Christ our Rock, smashes the image and breaks them all to pieces, further shows that they are present at the sound of the 7th Trump when Yahshua Messiah returns.
And by the way, don't read over the categorical statement that the "dream is certain" and the "the interpretation thereof sure", because Nebuchadnezzar's dream shall come to pass in reality.
In fact, much of it has already has, if you have the wisdom to understand.
Also, notice that the order of the smashing is from the bottom up where Jesus Christ obliterates the 10 toes, the fallen angels (the deeper student will note Rev. 11:13).
The bottom line is that at the 7th Trump our Rock, that Stone cut out without hands, will smash this beast and his image and usher in the Kingdom of God.
It is certain and it will happen exactly as it is written.
This is really a very simple picture and there is no reason to try and make it complicated.
[46] Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.
Of course Nebuchadnezzar's worshipping Daniel was wrong, but that's the way idolatrous people think and act.
The fact is, the worshipping of any man, or angel, or image (as we'll find out in the next chapter) is wrong for it is idolatry which is symbolized throughout the Word of God as adultery.
Remain a virgin and true to His Word and get to know your heavenly Father for He alone is worthy of our worship and praise.
[47] The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldst reveal this secret.
That was how God was made known by Daniel to Nebuchadnezzar.
You "see", teaching and declaring the visions contained in law and the prophets after the same manner of "thus saith the Lord God" results in others giving glory and honor to Him.
[48] Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.
Not!
Perhaps they were somewhat grateful at first that he saved their necks though they were probably just relieved.
Nevertheless, it was not Daniel who saved them... it was Almighty God.
We also see in this verse that those who give witness and declare God's power and might shall be given rulership in the kingdom.
Remember, this is about God's judgment and the rulership of the kingdom of God, which is why we are told that Daniel and his companions are of the kingship line of Judah.
Then too, God also promotes and blesses His servants even while they are here laboring in the vineyard.
[49] Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.
Remember too as spokesman, he was able (through God's intervention) to bring the pulse and water for all to eat and revealed to them what God had given him when they collectively as a body took their request to the Father.
And by the way, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego also were given government jobs.
You know, it all works out when you exercise faith and trust in God.
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
If so, it will all work out for you too, even though there are good days and there are not so good days.
As in the case of these young lads, one day they were about to be executed by the king of Babylon and the next day they were on "easy street".
Trust God, enjoy the day.
In our next study we will move to 475 BC, Daniel's 38th year, which would be about 20 years after Nebuchadnezzar's dream.
We will find that as the years went by ol' Neb began to remember less and less about the God of heaven and focus more and more on that which was most important to him, HIMSELF, and exalting himself.
Surely he remembered well that he, the great and powerful Neb, was that head of gold.
So we are about to see our Father give him another lesson in theology.
Jesus said, "the book of Daniel was where one could go read and gain understanding"
Jesus Christ told us in Matthew 24 and Mark 13 when He sat upon the Mount of Olives and gave His disciples the seven seals concerning the knowledge and the events that would transpire during the final generation of the fig tree, that the book of Daniel was where one could go read and gain understanding concerning the abomination of desolation, that abominable desolator (antichrist) who would come stand in the holy place claiming to be God.To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
