The Daily Word of Righteousness

The Second Goat, #19

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 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, 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. (Revelation 13:1-8)

I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. (Daniel 7:21,22)

And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. (Daniel 12:7)

God will shake sin out of the heavens and the earth by first giving Satan authority and power he never has been permitted to exercise.

Satan will give this authority and power to Antichrist just as the Father is giving His authority and power to Christ.

After the latter-rain revival during the first half of the week, Satan through Antichrist will be permitted to overcome the testimony of the saints. He will do this both by the terror of force and especially by the love of the world, the lusts of the flesh, and the self-will and disobedience on the part of the peoples of the earth, including some of the saints who have borne the witness.

After the earth-shaking testimony of the two witnesses (Christ and His Body) Satan will tempt the saints more skillfully than ever before until the dead bodies of the testimony lie in the street of Sodom (the lust of the flesh; immorality); Egypt (the love of the things of the world; the love of money); and Jerusalem (spiritual pride as Christian leaders are lifted to positions of prominence in the world government).

To be continued.
