We left off speaking about the fourth kingdom and finished with verses 41-43 from Daniel chapter 2.
This week we talk about the greatest one that will come and it will never end.
Daniel 2:44 – 44 “In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.
This will be a kingdom that never ends. Who is going to set it up? The God in Heaven and this one will not be left to another people.
Daniel 2:45 – 45 This is the meaning of the vision of the rock cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands—a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces.
“The great God has shown the king what will take place in the future. The dream is true and the interpretation is trustworthy.”
Who is the Rock that is cut out of the mountain? None other than the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, which is Jesus Christ.
Revelation 19:11-21 – 11I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
17And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great.”
19Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. 20But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. 21The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
Quite an entry! It is after this that Jesus starts to run His kingdom. Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done, On Earth As It Is In Heaven. Recognize that prayer and didn’t know what it stood for?
Don’t be one of those trying to make war against the Rider on the horse. Their fate is revealed right here.
The armies of Heaven were following Him. This is the army you want to be in. Uncle Sam isn’t calling your name to join in this scenario. If you don’t know Him yet as your Savior and King, it’s the Holy Spirit your hearing.
