Revelation 13:1-2 00:03:32
What is happening in America today?
Well, America has a specific role to play in the Bible.
And a lot of people are asking, what's this coronavirus all about?
Why do we have so much racial chaos right now?
And what can we do about it?
What should we be doing about it?
Well, the only way I know to understand these events is to see what the Bible says about the future of America.
In Revelation chapter number 13, verse 1 and 2, we have a prophecy of the kingdom of the Antichrist.
It depicts a beast there with the body of the leopard, the feet of the bear, the mouth of the lion, and the ten horns of the ten horn kingdom.
All these are from Daniel 7 of the Old Testament.
The lion is Great Britain, the leopard is Germany, the feet of the bear is Russia, and the ten horns is a ten nation union that will soon emerge from Europe.
These are all going to go together to support the Antichrist.
The Bible says in Revelation 13, 5, power will be given to him to continue 42 months.
So the length of the world government of the Antichrist is only 42 months, three and a half years, but it's going to be a horrific time.
That's the same length as the length of the Great Tribulation.
Now, here's the interesting question.
Back in Daniel 7, these beasts were all prophesied about as being on the earth at the time of the second coming.
But there was one more beast in Daniel 7 that's not in Revelation 13.
The Bible says the lion had eagle's wings.
The eagle was growing out of the lion, and then the prophecy says in Daniel 7, verse 4, that the wings were broken off, and it was made to stand upon the feet as a man.
Well, we all know who the eagle is.
Look on the back of your dollar bill.
There it is.
The United States, our official symbol is the eagle.
And we came out of Great Britain.
That's our mother country.
But then we broke off.
Well, when all these powers from Daniel 7 merged together in Revelation 13 into the one world government of the end time, the new world order, if you want to call it that, when they all merge together, no eagle's wings.
What has happened to the eagle?
I puzzled over this for several years.
I thought, well, maybe we've been wiped out in a nuclear war, or maybe we've gone into isolation, or maybe we were included back under the lion.
I just didn't know.
But one day I was reading Revelation chapter 12, verse 14.
And Revelation 12, 14 is the story from about verse number 12.
It's the beginning of the Great Tribulation.
And the Bible says, woe be to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea, for Satan comes down to you having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.
He then goes to persecute the woman with the 12 stars about her head.
The woman's Israel.
The 12 stars are the 12 tribes of Israel.
He goes to persecute the woman with the 12 stars around her head.
And when he does, the Bible says there will be given to the woman two wings of a great eagle that she may be nourished from the face of the serpent for time, times, and half a time.
Trump's Pro-Israel Policies 00:01:16
A time is one year, times is two years, half a time is half a year.
The length of the Great Tribulation, the eagle is going to protect Israel.
Well, I've watched under the Trump administration, and President Trump has been the most pro-Israeli president we have ever had.
And he, first of all, moved our, he recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Then he moved our embassy to Jerusalem.
After that, he now has recognized the Golan Heights as Israel's possession.
And now he's inviting Israel to annex all the settlements in the West Bank.
So everything, America is defending Israel against the world right now.
And that's what the Bible depicts.
It shows the eagle watching over Israel.
And we're going to be doing that all the way till the end of the Great Tribulation, till the Battle of Armageddon.
