The Rise of the Holy Roman Empire 00:08:49
Do you have any thought where the Antichrist false prophets where they could come from?
In Daniel chapter 7, verse 7 and 8, the last beast is a ten-horned beast.
The Bible says those ten horns represent ten kings that will be in alliance together.
And then the scripture says that after this, one horn comes up among the ten and uproots three.
One king will come up and uproot three.
That king will wax great and will make war against the saints until the ancient of days comes.
So we know that's the Antichrist.
The question is, what are these ten kings?
Where are they from?
Well, we can prove where they're from by going to Daniel chapter 2.
In Daniel chapter 2, you've got a statue with a head of gold, arms and breasts of silver, belly and thighs of brass, legs of iron, and feet of iron mingled with clay.
Now, without explaining it all theologically, the head of gold was Babylon, which ruled from 606 BC until 538 BC.
And then the Medes and the Persians came, destroyed Babylon.
They're the arms and breasts of silver.
They ruled from 538 until 331 BC.
Then the belly and thighs of brass represent the Grecian Empire.
Alexander the Great, he came stampeding through the land.
And Greece ruled the world from 531 BC until about 197 BC.
Then the Roman Empire, the legs of iron, took power.
And for the next 500 years, they were ruling the world during the time of Jesus.
That's the reason there were Roman soldiers at the crucifixion.
That's the reason there was so much argument over should we pay the Roman tax?
Because they hated paying the tax of the nation that had conquered them.
Well, the Roman Empire ceased to exist about 300 AD.
There's one empire left, the feet of iron with clay.
Now, here's something very important to understand.
When you move from one empire to the other, you have a total change of metal every time, except the last time.
Gold, silver, brass, iron.
But the feet keep the iron element and mix another element in, the clay.
The iron mingled with clay.
The next empire was the Holy Roman.
Not the Roman Empire.
Two different things.
The Holy Roman, the religious element, was added in.
It all began on December the 25th of 800 AD, when Pope Leo III placed the crown on the head of Charlemagne, saying, I now crown you emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
For the next 1,000 years, the Holy Roman Empire ruled Europe, and it was always ruled by two leaders.
A political leader, most time from Germany, every time from Europe, and a spiritual leader, every time from the Vatican, from Italy.
It was always a political leader and a spiritual leader working together.
Now, the Bible teaches the feet of ironing with clay.
In the vision that Nebuchadnezzar had, which Daniel explained to him, a stone came rolling down out of the mountain and smote the image where?
On the feet.
That's the empire that's going to be in power when Jesus Christ comes.
The stone is the kingdom of God.
Smites the image on the feet.
The entire image comes crashing down, becomes like the chaff of the summer threshing floors.
And the wind blows it away, and then the stone grows and grows and grows and grows until it becomes a great mountain that fills the whole earth.
It's the establishment of the kingdom of God.
Then Daniel gave the interpretation.
And he gets to the feet and he said, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men.
This is religion getting involved with politics.
Because politics is the devil's method of ruling the world.
The church is God's method of ruling the world.
Yes.
So they're going to mingle themselves with the seed of men, but they won't cleave one to another.
Because what's always happened in the history of the Holy Roman Empire, they would always get it together until then they argued over which one was the greatest.
Shall the spiritual dominate the political or shall the political rule over the spiritual?
And then they would fight over that.
They'd fall apart.
It's happened over and over again over the last thousand years.
Well, the Holy Roman Empire ceased to exist in 1806 when Napoleon conquered the last Holy Roman Emperor, Francis II.
And they said the Holy Roman Empire is dead.
But I knew it wasn't because the Bible says it'll be in power at the second coming.
Well, guess what?
The Holy Roman Empire was reborn on November the 3rd of 2009.
And most people missed it.
Let me tell you what happened.
Yes, what happened?
After World War II, the nations of Europe said, we've got to quit fighting each other.
Let's go together and create a United States of Europe.
So they formed the common market.
They said, if we go together economically, then political union will automatically follow.
They did.
They formed the common market.
It went from six nations to 12 nations to 15 nations.
And by 1992, they were totally joined together economically.
No tariffs, total free trade between the nations.
You can live in one nation and work in another, just like you can live in Indiana and work in Ohio.
Well, then it didn't stop there because they knew their goal was not economic union.
Their goal was political union.
So they had another meeting and they signed a new treaty called the Maastricht Treaty, at which time they said, now that we're going to go together politically, we're going to have a common money, the Euro.
We're going to have a European constitution, and we're going to have a European president and a European foreign minister.
Well, they got their Euro by 1999.
All of us are aware of the power of the Euro today.
They also continue to grow.
They now have 28 nations with 550 million people.
But they couldn't get their constitution for a while.
But finally they did.
At the Treaty of Lisbon, they all got together.
I've actually got it all on video.
It's spooky.
But they all came up and they signed the Treaty of Lisbon, which is their constitution.
And the last nation ratified it on November the 3rd of 2009.
And that's when the Holy Roman Empire was reborn.
Now, if anybody doubts that that's the Holy Roman Empire, let me give you the quick proof.
Indisputable.
Four proofs.
Their first coin, whose picture did they put in their first coin?
Charlemagne, the father of the Holy Roman Empire.
Then they have a publication in Europe called The Economist Magazine.
It's the most influential periodical in the world.
It's called the Periodical of Kings and Presidents.
And it's owned by Lord Ross Child out of London.
That is the dominant publication in Europe.
They set aside a page every week for the latest developments toward European unification.
What do they call the page?
The Charlemagne page.
Then they decided to speed up the process.
They said, we're going to give a million, you know, money talks.
We're going to give a million dollars to the statesperson that does the most each year to promote European unification.
They called the prize the Charlemagne Prize.
And there is a building that you must go to in Brussels, Belgium.
Brussels is the headquarters of the European Union.
And there's a building you must go to in order to make application to join the European Union.
Can anybody guess the name of the building?
Oh, my goodness.
I just took a picture of it last spring.
It's the Charlemagne building.
So, Charlemagne coins, Charlemagne page, Charlemagne Prize, Charlemagne building.
Ladies and gentlemen, the kingdom of Charlemagne is reborn.
And one more time, we're going to see a leader come out of Europe because the toes of the feet were of iron mingled with clay, and that represents the Holy Roman Empire, which is always centered in Europe.
And the Bible says concerning those ten toes, verse 44 of chapter 2, in the days of these kings, shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom.
I'm telling you, the kingdom of the Antichrist is already set up right now.
And I just read an article today that they're now forming a huge EU super army.
It's in the news today on the Drudge Report.
They're founding a EU super army because when this war happens, the war that kills one-third of mankind, Europe's probably going to send it out.
The United States will be weakened.
Islam is going to be horribly weakened.
And the center for world power is going to swing to Europe.
Antichrist, false prophet will come to power.
And that's the reason I know the Antichrist is coming from Europe.
Bible Prophecies of Rome's Fall 00:00:52
And whoever is Pope at the time of the Antichrist, he will play the role of the false prophet.
Even Catholics believe this.
I have Catholic prophecy books.
The Catholics are teaching there's an evil Pope coming.
And when he comes, he'll be the last Pope and Rome will be destroyed.
And that all perfectly matches with the Bible.
The Bible prophesies the destruction of Rome.
The same earthquake that's going to split the Mount of Olives half toward the north and half toward the south is going to reach all the way to Rome, and the city of Rome is going to be destroyed.
The Bible prophesies.
Well, as I tell you, there's too much here.
But anyway.
But the Antichrist could be in leadership right at this moment, functioning somewhere.
Yes, he could be.
It's really later than you think, people.
It's like it's all there.
All the development, all the people, all the players, all the history.
