-revelation 12 John saw the vision of a woman, a dragon attack her and wanted to take away her new born child
-she lost her baby to heaven, but tgt with the rest of her offsprings, the women was reserved by God in the wilderness for 1260 days (prophecy abt the Great tribulation)
-the women is symbolic of the church under severe persecution
-a grp in the church was martyred.. they died and went to heaven to be with the Lord
-those remain will have to face the suffering, but in the mist of it they were preserved, provided, protected by the Lord
-he will create a havoc.. his power is real and terrifying, but only 3.5 years
-knowing the end of 3.5 years, Satan will do whatever to crush all Christians
-Satan always attack through his mouth
-false accusations, condemnations
-Satan attacks those who love God and live for Christ
-when time comes, will we stay faithful and obey the commandments?
-the Antichrist and Satan has 7 heads and 10 horns
-the Antichrist has the nature of the devil
1. economics
2. politics
3. terrorisms
4. antisemitism
5. grudge
-God's covenant to Abraham... Israel will be forever even in eternity
-Satan is working to stop Israel from staying in the holy land.. let God breaks His covenant-Jewish qn remains the stumbling block to world peace
when we worship idols, there is spiritual contact and fellowship
-Rome is the city known tt sits on 7 mountains
-eventually geo political relationship will reach a crisis point tt no one can solve it...pave a way for the Antichrist to come in as a master negotiator
-negotiate a peace treaty accepted by all
-everyone will admire him
-Daniel prophesied tt he will break the peace treaty and invade Israel with his armies, storm the temple of God and take away the Jewish sacrifices and he will sit in the temple and proclaim himself as God
-the Antichrist has a scar on his head, one who is supposed to have died, but he survived
-when Satan is an angel in heaven, he wanted to receive worship
-when ppl worship the Antichrist, the one behind him - Satan gets the worship
-this is why God is against idolatry
-the Antichrist will curse God in 3 ways
-curse God's name, speak out against the goodness and greatness of God
-curse God's tabernacle, publicly denounce the church
-speak against the saints and the angels of heaven.. mock and shame especially at those who have died
-the devil knows tt he can nv defeat God, so the best thing he can do is make war with the saints
-he has total global control
-we have to decide whether we want to be in the Book of Life
-those in the Book of Life will nv worship the beast
-those who worship the Antichrist will not be in the Book of Life
-God alr planned for redemption even before He created the world
-God wasn't surprised by the fall of Adam
-those who are called by God to be jailed or martyred will be...
-don't be angry with God when we suffer
-we must trust in God and He has a plan for us
-when we can't see God's hands, we must trust His heart
-this 2nd beast in the false prophet
-like the Holy Spirit in the Holy Trinity, the false prophet has the same power is the Antichrist
-Antichrist rules the political side and the false prophet rules the religious side
-just like how the Holy Spirit leads us to worship Jesus, the false prophet will lead the world to worship the Antichrist
-false prophet can perform miracles
-in the Great tribulation, there will be a huge contest between the 2 witnesses, Antichrist and the false prophet
-the false prophet will convince the ppl tt the Antichrist is a savior and he will solve the problems of mankind
-the Antichrist and false prophet will be so persuasive that many will be deceived, even Christians
-before the day of the Lord, there will be a great backsliding in the church
-many will deny Christ cos of fear of persecution
-signs and wonders will follow us as we live for the gospel
the false prophet have the ability to make the image come alive
-the false prophet will set up economic system and only those with the mark of the Antichrist can trade
-those without the mark will have nothing.. No food, no electricity, no water, no house, can't commute
-the Antichrist threatens...many will be afraid and compromise, even Christians
-those who have victory over the beast are those who trust in the Lord, refuse to follow and dont have the marks of the Antichrist
*the Antichrist economic policy is simple.. take his mark and worship him or starve to death and be killed
-but by receiving the mark, we will nv inherit eternal life... it's an unpardonable irreversible sin
-no one will take the mark by accidental, but a deliberate decision with eternal consequences.. there's no middle ground
-he was alive, died and one day come back to be the Antichrist
-those who marvel (worship the Antichrist) names were not written on the Book of Life even before the world was created
-the Antichrist must be one of the five who was and is not
-Nero... his name in Hebrew is 666
-stay faithful and committed
-in the last days, men will be lovers to themselves, unfaithful to God
those who follow the lamb have no fear of men or their opinions
-as long as there is fear, Satan will always have a hold on us
