TWO MEN SAW VISIONS OF THE SAME BEAST WHICH TYPIFIED THE OLD ROMAN EMPIRE. IN DANIEL’S VISION THIS BEAST HAD ONE HEAD AND TEN HORNS WITH A MYSTERIOUS LITTLE HORN PROTRUDING ABOVE THE OTHERS IN POWER. EVENTUALLY PLUCKING UP THREE HORNS. HOWEVER, IN JOHN’S VISION THIS SAME BEAST WAS SEEN HAVING NOT ONE HEAD, BUT SEVEN HEADS!! ONE HEAD HAD BEEN WOUNDED UNTO DEATH. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF ALL THE SYMBOLICAL PICTURES ON ONE BEAST? WHY TWO MEN SAW ONE BEAST IN DIFFERENT LIGHT IS THE TOPIC FOR OUR STUDY THIS MONTH.

SEVEN THINGS TO TRANSPIRE WITHIN THE 70171 WEEK ARE AS FOLLOW—(1). ISRAEL’S MANY WARS ALREADY FOUGHT SINCE 1948 UNTIL THE 70TH WEEK BEGINS FORCES HER THROUGH ECONOMICAL PRESSURES TO SIGN WORLD PEACE TREATY WITH ANTI-CHRIST. (2). THAT POLITICAL JEW (NOT ORTHODOX) BECAUSE OF POLITICAL PRESSURE WILL SELL THEIR NATION DOWN THE DRAIN. (3). BECAUSE THE WORLD CRYING FOR PEACE IN THAT HOUR WILL CAUSE ISRAEL TO FOLLOW SUIT TO KEEP FROM BEING A BLACK SHEEP AMONG THE NATIONS AND BOYCOTTED. (4). ISRAEL’S TWO PROPHETS APPEAR ON THE SCENE PROPHESYING FOR 1260 DAYS THUS BEGINNING THE SOUNDING OF SEVEN TRUMPETS IN REV. 8 & 9 (trumpets sound because of Israel’s disobedience). (5). WORLD CHURCH WILL BECOME COMPLETELY APOSTATIZED BEING FILLED WITH ALL WORLDLINESS AND SATANIC POWER. (6). MIDDLE OF PROPHETIC WEEK FALSE PEACEMAKER BREAKS COVENANT WITH ISRAEL, KILLS HER PROPHETS OF REV. 11 AND DESTROYS ALTAR SACRIFICE AND TEMPLE WORSHIP (Dan. 9:27) CAUSING JERUSALEM TO BECOME AN INTERNATIONALLY CONTROLLED CITY FULFILLING REV. 13:4. (7). TRUMPETS AND VIALS BEGIN TO SOUNsD SETTING STAGE FOR THE LORD’S RETURN.

THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL—ARE THEY TO BE UNDERSTOOD AS LITERAL WEEKS OR A PROPHETIC PERIOD OF TIME WHEREIN GOD HAS DESIGNATED TO USE ISRAEL? HAVE ALL SEVENTY WEEKS REACHED FULFILLMENT, IF NOT WHAT PERIOD IS LEFT REMAINING? WHAT ARE THEIR MR IMPORTANCE? HOW DOES ONE DETERMINE THE BEGINNING POINT FOR THESE SEVENTY WEEKS? WHAT ROLE DID THE REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE PLAY IN THESE WEEKS AND HOW DOES THIS REBUILT TEMPLE DIFFER WITH THE ONE SPOKEN OF IN JOHN 2? WHAT ROLE DID NEHEMIAH PLAY IN THESE WEEKS? THE MESSIAH, WAS HE CUT OFF AT THE CLOSING OF THE 69TH OR 69 1/2 OR FULL 70TH WEEK? THE prince WHO BREAKS THE COVENANT WITH MANY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 70TH WEEK, ARE WE TO UNDERSTAND THIS TO BE THE TRUE CHRIST OR THE ANTI-CHRIST WHO OFFERS PEACE TO ISRAEL? WHAT TWO INDISPUTABLE REASONS MAKES IT TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIGURE PROPHETIC TIME BY THE JULIAN CALENDAR? WHAT STARTLING DISCOVERY WAS MADE IN THE 16TH CENTURY BY CHRONOLOGISTS THAT UPSET THE TIME OF THE BIRTH OF CHRIST AND THREW B.C. AND A.D. TIME OFF 4-6 YEARS? HERE IS AN UNFORGETTABLE SUBJECT TO DETERMINE HOW MANY LITERAL YEARS ACTUALLY FELL BETWEEN THE REBUILDING OF THE CITY OF JERUSALEM AND THE CUTTING OFF OF THE MESSIAH. THE DISCOVERY OF TILE YEARS BETWEEN THESE TWO PERIODS WILL INDISPUTABLY DISTINGUISH TILE TRUE PROPHETIC WEEKS USED UNTIL THE TIME OF THE DEATH OF CHRIST.

INTRODUCTION: FOLLOWING THE RESURRECTION, CHRIST APPEARED UNTO HIS DISCIPLES TO PRESENT HIS GREAT COMMISSION. WAS IT PRESENTED IN ONE SESSION OR DID IT REQUIRE MANY? WAS HE PRESENTING ONLY ONE COMMISSION OR SEVERAL? WHERE DID JESUS DECLARE THE FIRST PLACE THIS GOSPEL MUST BE FULFILLED? READ THE AMAZING STORY IN WHICH GOD HID THE TRUTH IN THE WRITINGS OF FOUR

INTRODUCTION: WHO IS THE AUTHOR OF SEX? WAS IT ORIGINALLY IN GOD’S PLAN OR INTRODUCED LATER? HOW WAS THE COMMISSION OF GEN. 1:28 ORIGINALLY TO BE CARRIED OUT? WHAT WAS GOD’S ORIGINAL PURPOSE IN WOMAN? WHY WAS CHRIST BORN OF A VIRGIN WOMAN?

SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH THE YEARS WE HAVE STARTED ON A SERIES OF MESSAGES, TO DEAL WITH ALL SEVEN CHURCHES OF REVELATION CHAPTERS 2 & 3, BUT FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER, WE NEVER SEEMED TO BE ABLE TO COVER THEM ALL WITHOUT GETTING STOPPED. I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH ALL 7 THIS TIME, AND LET THESE TAPED MESSAGES REPLACE ALL THE OTHERS WE NOW HAVE. FOR QUITE SOMETIME NOW, THE LORD HAS BEEN DEALING WITH ME CONCERNING THESE CHURCHES AND THE MANY BEAUTIFUL THINGS THAT ARE PORTRAYED BY THEM, THAT ACTUALLY AFFECT THE VERY HOUR OF TIME WE ARE NOW LIVING IN. NATURALLY WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE LIVING IN THE LATTER PART OF THE LAODICEAN CHURCH AGE THAT WAS PORTRAYED BY THE LITERAL CHURCH AT LAODICEA, DURING THE FIRST CENTURY OF CHRISTIANITY, AND CERTAINLY THERE ARE MANY THINGS TO BE SAID ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR SPIRIT THAT IS NOW RUNNING RAMPANT IN OUR DAY, BUT WE ARE GOING TO START WITH THE CHURCH AT EPHESUS, AND GO STRAIGHT THROUGH.
