The Fourth Beast and Demon Kings

What does Daniel tell us about what is to come?

Daniel 2
40And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. 41And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. 42And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. 43And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
44And 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. 45Forasmuch 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.

Daniel 7:7After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. 8I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

We are told of ten toes, ten horns, ten coming kings here ^^.  These kings it can be argued are demon kings.  People seem to easily believe the spirit of the anti-Christ can inhabit a human form and walk the earth but they have trouble believing other demons/devils/fallen angels can do the same?  What does the Word say?

43And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

"They" ^^ here points to the spiritual nature of these kings/horns/toes as does our Lord's further clarification:  they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.  If it was mankind with mankind they would cleave to one another as they are the same substance (clay) but they will not cleave to one another because they are not the same substance/essence/form etc, just as iron does not mix with clay.

What else does the Lord tell us?

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.

When people see these kings in power they will know it is right around the time our Lord will set up His kingdom.

So?  So, I submit to you that this is a Jubilee year and in this year our Lord is taking care of alot of business.  Not only is the middle east being transformed into end time Babylon, but the stage is being set for the arrival of the ten toes/ten horns/ten kings.  How so?  The wave of popular dissatisfaction with career robber baron politicians has come to a close.  This is not a United States phenomena, it is a global phenomena.  Across the world people are shouting "out with these bums" and thus we see the rise of people like Donald Trump who as recently as 4 years ago had zero chance of being elected president.  How things have changed...

The wave of change sweeping across the world to bring in people like Trump is exactly the kind of wave that brought to power people like Adolf Hitler (type of anti-Christ).  It takes very specific circumstances (like economic depression/recession/hardship) accompanied with other things to bring to power someone like Hitler who just like Trump stood no chance just a few years before he came to power.  The point?  The point is, this wave of change we can call an anti-Christ wave.  This anti-Christ wave is here now and peaking at just the right time to being to power both the ten horns of Daniel as well as the little horn (anti-Christ).

So what we are seeing is essentially the forward leading edge of the wave that will bring to power the ten horns on the final fourth beast which also means our Lord's kingdom is not far behind:


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.

Keep in mind the signs the Lord has given us:  a lunar tetrad on His feast days, the Shemitah cycle, the Jubilee cycle, and the renewed presence of Israel on the map with the Jews in control of Jerusalem.  What makes this time different?  All of this ^^ makes this time different.  And lets not forget the pair of cows the Lord sent us with 7's clearly painted on their heads (nearly to the day of the Shemitah) by our Lord's hand:




None of this has even a tangential relationship to the stupidity and irrelevance of 'pop culture,' no these signs are from the Lord our God alone. 

This world is in a massive upheaval, did you notice?  Did you notice the rate of change has picked up since this Jubilee year began just 3 months ago.  We are just 3 months into this, 9 months to go!  The Lord gave us His Word for a reason, so we would understand what is happening.  So we would understand the day and age we live in.  None of this was happenstance, none of this was coincidence.  What does it take for every westernized government in this world to agree in one accord to give up their power by allowing a massive Islamic invasion?  It takes a miracle.  Why?  The one and only thing people in power want is more power, period.  This move to bring in waves of immigrants, how is that sitting with the people?

Germany Anti-Immigrant Protest Grows

And the list goes on to every country including Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Australia, Spain, Greece etc etc.

 One does not have to be a prophet to see what is happening.  If you have your Bible in one hand and a newspaper in the other, it becomes clear as day.  Our Lord told us these things would happen and they are happening.  Tell the average German living in a town of 102 people that their world has not turned upside down when 750 Islamic refugees are dumped on them.  Tell them everything is not changing and 'dont be alarmed' that the entire way of life they have known from birth is being ripped away before their eyes.

The fact is, Daniel 2 is coming, Daniel 7 is coming, Daniel 9 and 11 are coming, Revelation 18 is coming, Jeremiah 51 is coming and it is all rolling down the tracks at us like a freight train that has lost its brakes.

The time has come, is time to ready ourselves to do our Lords will and work then to meet Him on the day He has appointed for each of us.  There is precious little time left before the time of Jacob's trouble begins.

grace and peace
