00:00:01.260 --> 00:00:03.960
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:08.010
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.010 --> 00:00:11.250
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.250 --> 00:00:14.820
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:16.800
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.100
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:21.510
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.510 --> 00:00:26.100
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:26.970 --> 00:00:28.860
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.130
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:36.030
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.430 --> 00:00:40.530
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:40.530 --> 00:00:43.860
I've been sitting right here waiting for this moment to come
14
00:00:43.860 --> 00:00:47.430
so we could get started
as we continue our series,
15
00:00:47.430 --> 00:00:49.410
which is called The
Rapture, the Antichrist
16
00:00:49.410 --> 00:00:50.700
and the Tribulation.
17
00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:53.700
It's 20 parts. You ought
to order the entire series
18
00:00:53.700 --> 00:00:56.220
and remember to be sure
to get the study guide.
19
00:00:56.220 --> 00:00:58.110
I put a lot of work
into these study guides.
20
00:00:58.110 --> 00:01:01.320
They are loaded with all the
Greek words, all the history,
21
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:03.930
everything in the series
is in the study guide so
22
00:01:03.930 --> 00:01:06.690
that you can read all the
material while you're seeing
23
00:01:06.690 --> 00:01:08.670
or hearing the series
24
00:01:08.670 --> 00:01:12.720
and really get this teaching
down deep inside you.
25
00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:15.270
And please also order the book,
26
00:01:15.270 --> 00:01:18.060
464 pages cover to cover.
27
00:01:18.060 --> 00:01:20.520
It's called, The Rapture, the Antichrist, the Tribulation,
28
00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:22.410
an End-Times Countdown
29
00:01:22.410 --> 00:01:23.940
and What Happens Next.
30
00:01:23.940 --> 00:01:25.020
The Foreword is written
31
00:01:25.020 --> 00:01:27.840
by my friend Jimmy Evans and my friends,
32
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:31.230
this book, 464 pages cover
33
00:01:31.230 --> 00:01:35.850
to cover is beautifully illustrated and so easy to read
34
00:01:35.850 --> 00:01:39.660
and it's gonna put you on a
good solid foundation about
35
00:01:39.660 --> 00:01:41.820
what's going to happen next.
36
00:01:41.820 --> 00:01:44.100
You need to know what is coming,
37
00:01:44.100 --> 00:01:46.860
and that's why I wrote this book.
38
00:01:46.860 --> 00:01:49.560
But you can order all these
things by going online
39
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:51.630
or by giving us a call.
40
00:01:51.630 --> 00:01:54.750
And when you reach out to
us, please let us know how
41
00:01:54.750 --> 00:01:56.790
to pray for you.
42
00:01:56.790 --> 00:01:58.530
We want to pray for you.
43
00:01:58.530 --> 00:02:01.110
That's why we always put
the number on the screen.
44
00:02:01.110 --> 00:02:02.490
And by the way, write it down.
45
00:02:02.490 --> 00:02:04.050
Save that number,
46
00:02:04.050 --> 00:02:06.300
keep it near at hand in case you ever
47
00:02:06.300 --> 00:02:07.320
have a need in your life.
48
00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:09.600
You'll know who to call, call us,
49
00:02:09.600 --> 00:02:11.520
or you can send us an email.
50
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:12.690
And the moment you call
51
00:02:12.690 --> 00:02:16.050
or write to us, we're
gonna pray scripturally.
52
00:02:16.050 --> 00:02:19.020
And the Bible tells us in 1 John 5:14
53
00:02:19.020 --> 00:02:22.140
and 15, that if we pray according to God's will
54
00:02:22.140 --> 00:02:24.780
or if we pray scripturally,
God will hear us
55
00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:28.230
and we will have the
petitions that we make of him.
56
00:02:28.230 --> 00:02:30.690
So reach out to us and
we will pray with you,
57
00:02:30.690 --> 00:02:35.460
and Jesus will do what needs to be done.
58
00:02:35.460 --> 00:02:37.590
And I wanna say thanks
for being a partner.
59
00:02:37.590 --> 00:02:38.790
And if you're not a partner,
60
00:02:38.790 --> 00:02:41.520
please pray about becoming
a partner with our ministry
61
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:44.400
and you can become a
partner by just going online
62
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:49.020
or by giving us a call; but
the reach for your Bible.
63
00:02:49.020 --> 00:02:52.470
And today we're going to see
what the Bible tells us about
64
00:02:52.470 --> 00:02:54.780
where the antichrist
is going to come from.
65
00:02:54.780 --> 00:02:56.850
Now tomorrow we're gonna see
66
00:02:56.850 --> 00:03:00.220
what Jesus said about the rapture.
67
00:03:00.220 --> 00:03:02.830
Some people say now, wait, wait, wait.
68
00:03:02.830 --> 00:03:04.930
If the rapture was so important,
69
00:03:04.930 --> 00:03:09.430
why didn't Jesus ever discuss the rapture. He did?
70
00:03:09.430 --> 00:03:14.350
Jesus discussed the rapture
in two very important texts.
71
00:03:14.350 --> 00:03:16.450
And when we come back tomorrow, that's
72
00:03:16.450 --> 00:03:17.680
where we're going to begin.
73
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.770
So please don't miss tomorrow's episode,
74
00:03:20.770 --> 00:03:23.830
but today we're going to address the question -
75
00:03:23.830 --> 00:03:25.930
What does the Bible tell us about
76
00:03:25.930 --> 00:03:28.720
where the antichrist
is going to come from?
77
00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:31.990
And I told you in previous
programs that in time past,
78
00:03:31.990 --> 00:03:35.290
people have tried to guess
who is the antichrist.
79
00:03:35.290 --> 00:03:37.660
And during the 1st Century, when people were really
80
00:03:37.660 --> 00:03:41.290
suffering, many people
thought maybe Nero was
81
00:03:41.290 --> 00:03:42.790
the antichrist.
82
00:03:42.790 --> 00:03:44.920
Then there were people
who thought maybe Trajan
83
00:03:44.920 --> 00:03:46.420
was the antichrist.
84
00:03:46.420 --> 00:03:47.253
There were people who thought maybe
85
00:03:47.253 --> 00:03:48.086
Domitian was the antichrist.
86
00:03:49.690 --> 00:03:50.950
Then there were early believers
87
00:03:50.950 --> 00:03:53.950
who thought Hadrian was the antichrist.
88
00:03:53.950 --> 00:03:56.860
And then in the Middle Ages
people thought various popes
89
00:03:56.860 --> 00:03:58.120
were the antichrist.
90
00:03:58.120 --> 00:03:59.500
Then people begin
91
00:03:59.500 --> 00:04:04.060
to surmise maybe Napoleon
is the antichrist.
92
00:04:04.060 --> 00:04:08.050
Then people guessed maybe
Mussolini is the antichrist.
93
00:04:08.050 --> 00:04:10.240
And a vast number of people thought
94
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.730
that Hitler was the antichrist.
95
00:04:12.730 --> 00:04:16.060
I personally remember as a young man, people were guessing
96
00:04:16.060 --> 00:04:19.330
that Anwar Sadat was the antichrist,
97
00:04:19.330 --> 00:04:21.580
and then people were just absolutely sure
98
00:04:21.580 --> 00:04:23.980
that Gorbachev was the antichrist,
99
00:04:23.980 --> 00:04:25.870
and they even wrote books about it.
100
00:04:25.870 --> 00:04:27.880
And of course that didn't
turn out to be right.
101
00:04:27.880 --> 00:04:29.470
And then there were people who guessed
102
00:04:29.470 --> 00:04:32.860
that Henry Kissinger was the antichrist.
103
00:04:32.860 --> 00:04:35.860
And my friends, people are just guessing all the time about
104
00:04:35.860 --> 00:04:37.630
who is the antichrist.
105
00:04:37.630 --> 00:04:41.680
But we know from 2 Thessalonians 2:7
106
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:46.680
and 8, the antichrist identity will not be revealed
107
00:04:47.020 --> 00:04:49.480
until the restrainer has
been taken out of the way.
108
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.600
And the restrainer is the church.
109
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.570
We are the church, my
friends, the church with all
110
00:04:55.570 --> 00:04:58.480
of its flaws and all of its deficiencies,
111
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:02.470
we are still the church and God is in the church,
112
00:05:02.470 --> 00:05:07.470
and the church is so powerful
that we're holding evil at bay
113
00:05:07.810 --> 00:05:10.810
and you should just embrace
yourself and say, amen.
114
00:05:10.810 --> 00:05:13.750
That's who we are. I'm
a part of the church.
115
00:05:13.750 --> 00:05:16.510
We are God's restraining force.
116
00:05:16.510 --> 00:05:19.210
But according to 2 Thessalonians 2:7
117
00:05:19.210 --> 00:05:22.480
and 8, when the church is taken out of the way, then at
118
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.180
that exact synchronized moment
119
00:05:25.180 --> 00:05:28.420
that wicked one will be revealed.
120
00:05:28.420 --> 00:05:33.070
He cannot be revealed until
the church has been removed.
121
00:05:33.070 --> 00:05:37.660
But where is the antichrist
going to come from?
122
00:05:37.660 --> 00:05:38.950
Well, I'm going to be honest and tell you
123
00:05:38.950 --> 00:05:40.960
that I don't believe the
Bible clearly answers
124
00:05:40.960 --> 00:05:45.160
that question, but it gives us 4-possible scenarios.
125
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.440
But I want us to begin
by opening our Bible
126
00:05:47.440 --> 00:05:49.000
to Revelation 13.
127
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:50.950
We're gonna read verses 1-9.
128
00:05:50.950 --> 00:05:53.950
So if you have your Bible, please open
129
00:05:53.950 --> 00:05:55.480
to Revelation 13.
130
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:57.080
We're going to begin in verse 1,
131
00:05:57.080 --> 00:06:00.620
and in this chapter we find a
description of the antichrist
132
00:06:00.620 --> 00:06:03.920
and listen to what it says beginning in verse 1:
133
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:07.640
And I stood upon the sand of the sea and saw a beast.
134
00:06:07.640 --> 00:06:11.930
So here we see that the antichrist is described as a beast.
135
00:06:11.930 --> 00:06:13.400
It is the Greek word therion,
136
00:06:13.400 --> 00:06:17.420
which describes a brute savage beast.
137
00:06:17.420 --> 00:06:19.610
Though he will style himself
138
00:06:19.610 --> 00:06:23.570
as being a benevolent new progressive world leader, at his
139
00:06:23.570 --> 00:06:26.750
core, he will be a brute savage beast,
140
00:06:26.750 --> 00:06:31.370
and the Bible says he will
rise up out of the sea.
141
00:06:31.370 --> 00:06:34.610
Well, that phrase out of the
sea is an expression which
142
00:06:34.610 --> 00:06:38.030
usually denotes the Gentile nations;
143
00:06:38.030 --> 00:06:42.440
but it goes on to say - Having 7 heads and 10 horns.
144
00:06:42.440 --> 00:06:45.230
And upon his horns, 10 crowns
145
00:06:45.230 --> 00:06:48.830
and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
146
00:06:48.830 --> 00:06:50.990
what we saw in the last episode that one
147
00:06:50.990 --> 00:06:53.960
of the primary features of
the antichrist is he's going
148
00:06:53.960 --> 00:06:57.680
to speak blasphemous,
pompous words against God.
149
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:01.460
He's really going to
be noted for blasphemy.
150
00:07:01.460 --> 00:07:03.290
Then verse 2 continues:
151
00:07:03.290 --> 00:07:06.830
And the beast, which I saw was like unto a leopard
152
00:07:06.830 --> 00:07:09.890
and his feet were as the feet of a bear
153
00:07:09.890 --> 00:07:12.860
and his mouth as the mouth of a lion
154
00:07:12.860 --> 00:07:14.990
and the dragon gave him power.
155
00:07:14.990 --> 00:07:17.270
The word dragon refers to Satan.
156
00:07:17.270 --> 00:07:18.710
So it's Satan giving him power.
157
00:07:18.710 --> 00:07:21.170
The word power here describes authority.
158
00:07:21.170 --> 00:07:23.690
So we find that the antichrist
is going to be empowered
159
00:07:23.690 --> 00:07:27.320
and given authority by the
devil himself and his seat
160
00:07:27.320 --> 00:07:31.370
and great authority, his
position, his authority, all
161
00:07:31.370 --> 00:07:34.460
of it is going to come from the dragon or from Satan.
162
00:07:34.460 --> 00:07:36.230
Then we read in verse 3:
163
00:07:36.230 --> 00:07:40.670
And I saw one of his heads as if it were wounded to death
164
00:07:40.670 --> 00:07:45.020
and his deadly wound was healed and all the world wondered
165
00:07:45.020 --> 00:07:46.910
after the beast.
166
00:07:46.910 --> 00:07:49.850
And on the basis of this verse, there are scholars
167
00:07:49.850 --> 00:07:51.920
who believe that the antichrist is going
168
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.050
to receive some kind of a deadly wound,
169
00:07:54.050 --> 00:07:56.930
but he will recover very
much in the same way
170
00:07:56.930 --> 00:07:58.880
that Jesus was raised from the dead.
171
00:07:58.880 --> 00:08:01.250
The antichrist is going
to seem to have some kind
172
00:08:01.250 --> 00:08:04.280
of a resurrection and the
whole world is gonna wonder
173
00:08:04.280 --> 00:08:07.160
after the antichrist who is a beast.
174
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:10.190
Then we read in verse 4, and they worshiped the dragon.
175
00:08:10.190 --> 00:08:14.630
They worshiped Satan, which
gave power unto the beast.
176
00:08:14.630 --> 00:08:16.280
In reality, they're worshiping the beast,
177
00:08:16.280 --> 00:08:17.540
they're worshiping the antichrist,
178
00:08:17.540 --> 00:08:19.310
but they don't understand that working
179
00:08:19.310 --> 00:08:21.200
behind him is Satan himself,
180
00:08:21.200 --> 00:08:22.880
and by worshiping the antichrist,
181
00:08:22.880 --> 00:08:24.620
they're really worshiping the devil
182
00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:27.380
and they worship the beast saying,
183
00:08:27.380 --> 00:08:29.300
who is like unto the beast?
184
00:08:29.300 --> 00:08:32.090
This is talking about the antichrist - Who is able
185
00:08:32.090 --> 00:08:34.250
to make war with him.
186
00:08:34.250 --> 00:08:38.270
Verse 5: And there was given unto him a mouth speaking
187
00:08:38.270 --> 00:08:40.520
great things and blasphemies -
188
00:08:40.520 --> 00:08:42.170
we saw this in the previous program
189
00:08:42.170 --> 00:08:46.070
where I identified 31 characteristics of the antichrist
190
00:08:46.070 --> 00:08:49.220
and many times we're told
in the book of Daniel
191
00:08:49.220 --> 00:08:52.370
that he's going to speak great
blasphemous words against the
192
00:08:52.370 --> 00:08:54.170
integrity of God -
193
00:08:54.170 --> 00:08:58.320
and power was given unto him
to continue 40 and 2 months.
194
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.590
So now we find that his
reign is going to be limited.
195
00:09:01.590 --> 00:09:03.090
Then we come to verse 6:
196
00:09:03.090 --> 00:09:06.810
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God.
197
00:09:06.810 --> 00:09:09.660
Notice this term, blasphemy appears again
198
00:09:09.660 --> 00:09:11.190
and again and again.
199
00:09:11.190 --> 00:09:13.830
The antichrist is going to be blasphemous.
200
00:09:13.830 --> 00:09:16.470
He's going to promote himself as God.
201
00:09:16.470 --> 00:09:19.050
And we know from 2 Thessalonians 2,
202
00:09:19.050 --> 00:09:21.300
he's even going to set in the temple
203
00:09:21.300 --> 00:09:24.180
of God in Jerusalem in a rebuilt temple
204
00:09:24.180 --> 00:09:26.640
and show himself that he is God.
205
00:09:26.640 --> 00:09:30.150
But this verse says He will blaspheme his name
206
00:09:30.150 --> 00:09:31.350
and his tabernacle,
207
00:09:31.350 --> 00:09:34.500
and them that dwell in heaven. Verse 7:
208
00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:37.860
And it was given unto him
to make war with the saints.
209
00:09:37.860 --> 00:09:40.290
This word saints refers
to the people of Israel
210
00:09:40.290 --> 00:09:43.890
and to those who are saved
during the great tribulation
211
00:09:43.890 --> 00:09:48.840
who refused to receive his mark - and to overcome them
212
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:51.540
and power was given him over all kindreds
213
00:09:51.540 --> 00:09:53.430
and tongues and nations.
214
00:09:53.430 --> 00:09:56.040
Now remember, even though he's given power
215
00:09:56.040 --> 00:09:59.640
and authority, it's for a very
brief limited amount of time.
216
00:09:59.640 --> 00:10:02.190
Then verse 8 - And all
217
00:10:02.190 --> 00:10:05.160
that dwell on the earth shall
worship him whose names are
218
00:10:05.160 --> 00:10:06.780
not written in the book
219
00:10:06.780 --> 00:10:09.810
of the Lamb, slain from the
foundation of the world -
220
00:10:09.810 --> 00:10:13.350
then in verse 9 - If any man hath an ear,
221
00:10:13.350 --> 00:10:15.480
let him hear.
222
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.360
So now in Revelation 13:1-9,
223
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.630
we see this very vivid
depiction of the antichrist,
224
00:10:21.630 --> 00:10:24.420
but notice it says - He is a beast
225
00:10:24.420 --> 00:10:27.600
and he will rise up out of the sea.
226
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.480
And many scholars
believe this is a picture
227
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:34.860
of the antichrist arising
from Gentile nations.
228
00:10:34.860 --> 00:10:36.330
And for this reason,
229
00:10:36.330 --> 00:10:41.310
many believe the antichrist
will be a Gentile.
230
00:10:41.310 --> 00:10:44.820
And more specifically, there
are scholars who believe
231
00:10:44.820 --> 00:10:49.140
that he will emerge from
a revived Roman Empire:
232
00:10:49.140 --> 00:10:50.790
a revived Roman Empire.
233
00:10:50.790 --> 00:10:53.550
And this leads us to view No.1:
234
00:10:53.550 --> 00:10:57.600
that the antichrist will arise
from the former Roman Empire
235
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:01.050
or from the area which is now known
236
00:11:01.050 --> 00:11:05.610
as the European Union,
especially during the 1970s
237
00:11:05.610 --> 00:11:07.890
and the 1980s when the idea
238
00:11:07.890 --> 00:11:10.410
of the European Union
was just coming together,
239
00:11:10.410 --> 00:11:12.240
it was popular to believe
240
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:15.690
that the antichrist would
emerge from a revived Roman
241
00:11:15.690 --> 00:11:20.220
Empire, which eventually became the European Union.
242
00:11:20.220 --> 00:11:22.020
The dream that Daniel interpreted
243
00:11:22.020 --> 00:11:25.500
for King Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 2 seem
244
00:11:25.500 --> 00:11:29.220
to provide some prophetic
clues concerning the nations
245
00:11:29.220 --> 00:11:33.030
and empires from which the
antichrist would emerge.
246
00:11:33.030 --> 00:11:34.980
And in Daniel 2:1, it tells us
247
00:11:34.980 --> 00:11:37.140
that Nebuchadnezzar dreamed a dream
248
00:11:37.140 --> 00:11:40.680
and he was so troubled that
he couldn't sleep thereafter.
249
00:11:40.680 --> 00:11:43.440
So he called for Daniel
to interpret the dream.
250
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:47.910
And when we come to Daniel 2:31-33,
251
00:11:47.910 --> 00:11:52.620
we read a part of the dream and it says - Thou O king sawest
252
00:11:52.620 --> 00:11:54.790
and behold a great image:
253
00:11:54.790 --> 00:11:58.360
that great image whose brightness was excellent, stood
254
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.750
before thee and the form
thereof was terrible.
255
00:12:01.750 --> 00:12:06.340
Verse 32: The image's head was of fine gold, his breast
256
00:12:06.340 --> 00:12:09.940
and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass -
257
00:12:09.940 --> 00:12:14.350
verse 33 - his legs of iron and his feet part of iron
258
00:12:14.350 --> 00:12:16.360
and part of clay.
259
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:19.780
So Nebuchadnezzar saw an image with a head
260
00:12:19.780 --> 00:12:24.040
of fine gold, breast and arms made of silver, a belly
261
00:12:24.040 --> 00:12:26.710
and thighs of brass, legs that were made of iron
262
00:12:26.710 --> 00:12:30.280
and feet fashioned,
partly of iron and clay.
263
00:12:30.280 --> 00:12:33.910
And as Daniel interpreted
the dream, he interpreted
264
00:12:33.910 --> 00:12:37.630
that these represented various
empires at various times.
265
00:12:37.630 --> 00:12:41.470
And most scholars generally
believe that the head
266
00:12:41.470 --> 00:12:45.460
of fine gold represented
the Babylonian Empire.
267
00:12:45.460 --> 00:12:48.160
The arms of silver represented the Mede
268
00:12:48.160 --> 00:12:50.140
or the Persian Empire.
269
00:12:50.140 --> 00:12:51.730
The belly and the thighs
270
00:12:51.730 --> 00:12:55.240
of brass represented the Greek Empire.
271
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:58.660
The legs of iron represented
the Roman Empire,
272
00:12:58.660 --> 00:13:00.940
and this is very important
because it was legs -
273
00:13:00.940 --> 00:13:03.940
and the Roman Empire had 2 legs, it had 2 branches.
274
00:13:03.940 --> 00:13:07.270
It had the western branch,
it had the eastern branch,
275
00:13:07.270 --> 00:13:11.590
and the feet were made
partly of iron and clay.
276
00:13:11.590 --> 00:13:15.040
And according to some,
this is representative
277
00:13:15.040 --> 00:13:18.160
of a revived Roman Empire,
278
00:13:18.160 --> 00:13:21.880
which in the last days will
be a group of 10 nations
279
00:13:21.880 --> 00:13:23.350
or 10 toes.
280
00:13:23.350 --> 00:13:25.240
But today there's even another new idea
281
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:27.730
that this represents an Arab league
282
00:13:27.730 --> 00:13:31.510
that will emerge at the end of the age, 10 nations
283
00:13:31.510 --> 00:13:33.400
that are united together.
284
00:13:33.400 --> 00:13:36.580
But the words - feet part of iron
285
00:13:36.580 --> 00:13:38.500
and part of clay - are important
286
00:13:38.500 --> 00:13:41.350
because 2 feet have 10 toes.
287
00:13:41.350 --> 00:13:43.480
And some really have believed
288
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:47.080
and strongly taught that the
10 toes represent 10 future
289
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:50.920
nations or 10 global territories that will unite at the end
290
00:13:50.920 --> 00:13:54.130
of the age and that the antichrist will emerge from those
291
00:13:54.130 --> 00:13:55.270
10 nations.
292
00:13:55.270 --> 00:13:59.835
And when the European Union was first created in 1993,
293
00:13:59.835 --> 00:14:03.100
there really were many
prophecy teachers who said
294
00:14:03.100 --> 00:14:06.160
that when it reemerged
this revived Roman Empire,
295
00:14:06.160 --> 00:14:08.800
the European Union, it
would be 10 nations,
296
00:14:08.800 --> 00:14:12.070
these would be the 10
toes which Daniel saw.
297
00:14:12.070 --> 00:14:14.110
And at first it seemed
like that was the case,
298
00:14:14.110 --> 00:14:18.940
but today there are 27
members of the European Union.
299
00:14:18.940 --> 00:14:20.860
So this has become a little complicated.
300
00:14:20.860 --> 00:14:22.810
However, the majority
301
00:14:22.810 --> 00:14:25.690
of prophecy teachers today still believe
302
00:14:25.690 --> 00:14:30.310
that the antichrist will emerge from a revived Roman Empire
303
00:14:30.310 --> 00:14:32.470
or from the European Union.
304
00:14:32.470 --> 00:14:35.025
I'm not stating that as
a fact, I'm telling you
305
00:14:35.025 --> 00:14:36.670
what some people believe.
306
00:14:36.670 --> 00:14:38.350
But then there's view No.2.
307
00:14:38.350 --> 00:14:39.940
And view No.2 is
308
00:14:39.940 --> 00:14:44.290
that the antichrist will
emerge from an Islamic nation.
309
00:14:44.290 --> 00:14:47.830
Some believe that the antichrist will be Islamic
310
00:14:47.830 --> 00:14:50.800
and they believe the mortal wound that is referred
311
00:14:50.800 --> 00:14:55.460
to in Daniel 10, could symbolically describe the crumbling
312
00:14:55.460 --> 00:14:56.660
of the Ottoman Empire.
313
00:14:56.660 --> 00:14:58.520
The Ottoman Empire was powerful
314
00:14:58.520 --> 00:15:01.070
and then it seemed that it
was dealt a mortal wound
315
00:15:01.070 --> 00:15:02.480
and it fell apart.
316
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:05.990
And some people believe
the Islamic nations,
317
00:15:05.990 --> 00:15:09.380
the Ottoman Empire will be
revived at the end of the age
318
00:15:09.380 --> 00:15:12.740
and this will be what Revelation 13, refers to.
319
00:15:12.740 --> 00:15:16.340
I'm not saying that I'm just
giving you another view,
320
00:15:16.340 --> 00:15:20.090
but we do know that Revelation 13:5 says that
321
00:15:20.090 --> 00:15:23.480
during the most brutal period
of the antichrist rule,
322
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:27.020
he will slay people with the sword.
323
00:15:27.020 --> 00:15:29.510
And Islam is known for using the sword.
324
00:15:29.510 --> 00:15:33.470
So some people really
believe this is a forecast
325
00:15:33.470 --> 00:15:37.190
that the antichrist will
emerge from an Islamic nation.
326
00:15:37.190 --> 00:15:39.470
Again, I'm not telling
you that is my view.
327
00:15:39.470 --> 00:15:41.450
I'm telling you that is another view.
328
00:15:41.450 --> 00:15:43.430
And then we come to view No.3
329
00:15:43.430 --> 00:15:45.290
and 4 - are you ready?
330
00:15:45.290 --> 00:15:48.770
And this is that the antichrist will be of Jewish descent
331
00:15:48.770 --> 00:15:51.800
and that he will arise from Israel
332
00:15:51.800 --> 00:15:55.610
or from a surrounding Arab nation.
333
00:15:55.610 --> 00:15:59.000
That really is another view that he will be Jewish.
334
00:16:00.290 --> 00:16:05.060
Daniel 11:37 says He will not regard the God of his fathers.
335
00:16:05.060 --> 00:16:10.060
So some say this refers
to a non-faith keeping Jew
336
00:16:10.070 --> 00:16:13.280
who disregards his Jewish heritage.
337
00:16:13.280 --> 00:16:16.070
And we do know that it's
a fact that the Jews
338
00:16:16.070 --> 00:16:19.100
to this day are awaiting a future Messiah,
339
00:16:19.100 --> 00:16:21.380
but we know that Jesus was the Messiah.
340
00:16:21.380 --> 00:16:23.210
Jesus has already come.
341
00:16:23.210 --> 00:16:25.370
And so when the future of Messiah comes,
342
00:16:25.370 --> 00:16:27.260
he will be a false messiah
343
00:16:27.260 --> 00:16:30.980
and it's possible that he
could be the antichrist.
344
00:16:30.980 --> 00:16:32.600
Israel will embrace him,
345
00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:37.100
and some people allege this
will be the antichrist.
346
00:16:37.100 --> 00:16:40.790
Others suggest that
he'll be Jewish by blood,
347
00:16:40.790 --> 00:16:42.950
but that he'll come from an Arab nation.
348
00:16:43.940 --> 00:16:47.840
And so here we have 4 views
which most people assert.
349
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:52.460
No.1: the antichrist will be a Gentile leader.
350
00:16:52.460 --> 00:16:56.900
No.2: the antichrist will be an Islamic leader.
351
00:16:56.900 --> 00:17:01.310
No.3: the antichrist will be a Jewish leader
352
00:17:01.310 --> 00:17:04.160
or No.4: the antichrist will be a Jew
353
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:08.990
who comes from a surrounding
Arab or Islamic nation.
354
00:17:08.990 --> 00:17:11.450
Now I'm going to tell you that I've studied all
355
00:17:11.450 --> 00:17:16.310
of these views and I personally do not come to a conclusion.
356
00:17:16.310 --> 00:17:19.220
I just have not. And so I'm going to be honest with you,
357
00:17:19.220 --> 00:17:22.310
but I want to tell you the
four views that are out there
358
00:17:22.310 --> 00:17:24.950
and you can come to your own conclusion.
359
00:17:24.950 --> 00:17:29.630
But scripture does emphatically teach us in 2nd
360
00:17:29.630 --> 00:17:31.610
Thessalonians 2:7
361
00:17:31.610 --> 00:17:35.630
and 8, that when the restrainer is removed, then
362
00:17:36.620 --> 00:17:39.800
verse 8: 2 Thessalonians 2:8 says, Then
363
00:17:39.800 --> 00:17:44.750
that wicked one shall be revealed; wherever he comes from,
364
00:17:44.750 --> 00:17:46.280
he is not gonna be revealed
365
00:17:46.280 --> 00:17:49.200
until the restrainer has been
taken out of the way first.
366
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:51.060
And then chapter 2:8 says,
367
00:17:51.060 --> 00:17:52.890
then - the Greek word then, is the word tote.
368
00:17:52.890 --> 00:17:56.160
Then at that precise exact moment -
369
00:17:57.570 --> 00:17:59.160
that wicked one will be revealed.
370
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:02.010
And the word revealed, the Greek word apokalupto,
371
00:18:02.010 --> 00:18:04.710
describes something that
is veiled like a curtain
372
00:18:04.710 --> 00:18:05.730
that is closed.
373
00:18:06.570 --> 00:18:08.490
Well, it's very possible,
374
00:18:08.490 --> 00:18:12.060
it's even likely that the antichrist is alive right now.
375
00:18:12.060 --> 00:18:15.930
All the technology is available for the mark of the beast.
376
00:18:15.930 --> 00:18:19.890
It could be that he is standing center stage at this very
377
00:18:19.890 --> 00:18:23.700
moment, but he's standing
behind a closed curtain
378
00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:26.730
and we postulate who he is.
379
00:18:26.730 --> 00:18:28.500
We can guess all day long
380
00:18:28.500 --> 00:18:31.500
and we might even come up
with some pretty good guesses.
381
00:18:31.500 --> 00:18:33.930
We might even guess what
the mark of the beast is,
382
00:18:33.930 --> 00:18:38.340
but we will not specifically know until the great restrainer
383
00:18:38.340 --> 00:18:40.590
who is the church, is taken out of the way
384
00:18:40.590 --> 00:18:43.140
and then, the Greek word tote,
385
00:18:43.140 --> 00:18:46.260
then at that exact moment
386
00:18:46.260 --> 00:18:49.530
that wicked one will be revealed.
387
00:18:49.530 --> 00:18:52.740
Suddenly the curtain will be pulled apart
388
00:18:52.740 --> 00:18:56.130
and the world will see a
leader standing center stage.
389
00:18:56.130 --> 00:18:58.590
The spotlight will fall on him
390
00:18:58.590 --> 00:19:01.860
and he will come to the
attention of the entire world.
391
00:19:01.860 --> 00:19:05.160
And he will claim to be
a benevolent, wonderful,
392
00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:07.110
progressive leader to help the world
393
00:19:07.110 --> 00:19:09.150
through its difficult times.
394
00:19:09.150 --> 00:19:12.090
But the Bible tells us in Revelation 13 very
395
00:19:12.090 --> 00:19:15.750
clearly, in fact, he will be a beast.
396
00:19:15.750 --> 00:19:20.070
He's called a beast repeated
times, the Greek word therion,
397
00:19:20.070 --> 00:19:23.400
which describes a beast
that is brutal, a beast
398
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:24.750
that is savage.
399
00:19:24.750 --> 00:19:26.730
He will style himself in one way,
400
00:19:26.730 --> 00:19:30.480
but at his very core, the
reality is he will be a beast
401
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:31.800
of a human being.
402
00:19:31.800 --> 00:19:33.270
And we're told repeatedly
403
00:19:33.270 --> 00:19:38.250
and repeatedly in the book
of Daniel in Zephaniah,
404
00:19:38.250 --> 00:19:41.040
in 2 Thessalonians, in the book of Revelation,
405
00:19:41.040 --> 00:19:43.530
he will be filled with blasphemy
406
00:19:43.530 --> 00:19:47.580
as he assaults the very name
and the nature of God himself
407
00:19:47.580 --> 00:19:50.790
and promotes himself as God.
408
00:19:50.790 --> 00:19:53.460
And according to 2 Thessalonians 2,
409
00:19:53.460 --> 00:19:56.220
he will even sit in the temple of God,
410
00:19:56.220 --> 00:19:59.070
a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem
411
00:19:59.070 --> 00:20:02.310
and show himself that he is God.
412
00:20:02.310 --> 00:20:04.230
And according to Revelation 13,
413
00:20:04.230 --> 00:20:08.550
the whole world will worship
him and will follow him
414
00:20:08.550 --> 00:20:12.600
and he will be given
authority by the devil
415
00:20:12.600 --> 00:20:14.940
and he will perform signs and wonders
416
00:20:14.940 --> 00:20:18.960
and will mesmerize the entire human race.
417
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:20.730
But let me tell you, friend,
418
00:20:20.730 --> 00:20:23.250
the Bible tells us his rule is limited.
419
00:20:23.250 --> 00:20:25.950
It is for a very brief period of time.
420
00:20:25.950 --> 00:20:29.850
And at the end of 7 years, Jesus is going to come
421
00:20:29.850 --> 00:20:33.840
and with one puff of Jesus' mouth, he is going
422
00:20:33.840 --> 00:20:36.120
to incinerate the antichrist
423
00:20:36.120 --> 00:20:39.390
and that will be the end of him.
424
00:20:39.390 --> 00:20:43.230
Now, when we come back in the
next program, we're gonna see
425
00:20:43.230 --> 00:20:46.290
what Jesus said about the rapture.
426
00:20:46.290 --> 00:20:49.270
Don't miss it. It's
gonna thrill your heart.
427
00:20:49.270 --> 00:20:52.180
I'll be back in just a moment
and I'm going to pray for you.
428
00:21:00.820 --> 00:21:05.110
Someone asked - Is the antichrist alive right now?
429
00:21:05.110 --> 00:21:08.170
I don't know, but I think he probably is
430
00:21:08.170 --> 00:21:10.300
because we're living at
the very end of the age
431
00:21:10.300 --> 00:21:13.690
and the church is presently
holding back evil,
432
00:21:13.690 --> 00:21:14.710
putting on the brakes
433
00:21:14.710 --> 00:21:18.460
and stalling the manifestation
of the antichrist.
434
00:21:18.460 --> 00:21:21.970
In fact, the apostle Paul tells us in 2 Thessalonians
435
00:21:21.970 --> 00:21:25.630
2:7 - For the mystery of iniquity
436
00:21:25.630 --> 00:21:28.180
doth already work: only he who now lets
437
00:21:28.180 --> 00:21:31.930
or he who restrain will let
the Greek says, will continue
438
00:21:31.930 --> 00:21:34.750
to restrain until he be
taken out of the way.
439
00:21:34.750 --> 00:21:37.690
This is a depiction of
the rapture of the church.
440
00:21:37.690 --> 00:21:39.280
And then verse 8 says,
441
00:21:39.280 --> 00:21:42.610
and then at that very synchronized moment,
442
00:21:42.610 --> 00:21:45.610
shall the wicked one be revealed,
443
00:21:45.610 --> 00:21:48.940
which means the moment
the church is evacuated,
444
00:21:48.940 --> 00:21:51.040
the antichrist will step center stage,
445
00:21:51.040 --> 00:21:52.480
the curtains will be pulled apart
446
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:54.310
and then he will be revealed.
447
00:21:54.310 --> 00:21:57.100
But his identity will not be known
448
00:21:57.100 --> 00:22:00.610
until the church is first evacuated.
449
00:22:00.610 --> 00:22:03.910
Are you afraid of what will
happen at the end of the age?
450
00:22:03.910 --> 00:22:06.520
The Lord's return should not scare us,
451
00:22:06.520 --> 00:22:09.280
but instead comfort us.
452
00:22:09.280 --> 00:22:12.850

478
00:23:34.030 --> 00:23:36.940
Hey guys, this is Rick
Renner and guess where I am?
479
00:23:36.940 --> 00:23:39.880
This is the lunchroom in our Tulsa Ministry
480
00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:41.620
Headquarters facility.
481
00:23:41.620 --> 00:23:43.930
People have to have a place to work
482
00:23:43.930 --> 00:23:48.350
and they work really hard in this facility taking calls,
483
00:23:48.350 --> 00:23:50.720
answering letters from thousands
484
00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:52.850
and thousands of people who reach out
485
00:23:52.850 --> 00:23:54.770
to us every day and every week.
486
00:23:54.770 --> 00:23:58.400
But in this room, we decided to adorn the walls
487
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:02.360
with photographs of all the
places where we have offices
488
00:24:02.360 --> 00:24:04.280
for Renner Ministries.
489
00:24:04.280 --> 00:24:07.820
Behind me, there's a
beautiful photograph of Moscow
490
00:24:07.820 --> 00:24:11.330
because you know we have a
very important office there.
491
00:24:11.330 --> 00:24:13.580
Then there's a photograph of London
492
00:24:13.580 --> 00:24:15.590
because we have an office in England
493
00:24:15.590 --> 00:24:19.190
and we've had an office in
England for years and years.
494
00:24:19.190 --> 00:24:22.485
Then there's a beautiful picture of Riga where Denise and I
495
00:24:22.485 --> 00:24:25.190
and I boys lived for 9 years
496
00:24:25.190 --> 00:24:29.060
and our European office in Riga handles
497
00:24:29.060 --> 00:24:32.240
so much correspondence from
people that reach out to us.
498
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:35.270
And then there is a photograph
of the Oklahoma State Capitol
499
00:24:35.270 --> 00:24:38.990
to represent this office which is in the state of Oklahoma.
500
00:24:38.990 --> 00:24:42.080
But right now we're trying
to pay off this facility.
501
00:24:42.080 --> 00:24:44.930
It's called the Ministry Expansion Project.
502
00:24:44.930 --> 00:24:48.830
We've already paid off
78% of the facility.
503
00:24:48.830 --> 00:24:52.190
And my friends, we need your
help to help us finish this.
504
00:24:52.190 --> 00:24:54.500
And if you're not already
a part of the Giving Team,
505
00:24:54.500 --> 00:24:56.810
I'm inviting you to join us
506
00:24:56.810 --> 00:24:59.450
and to help us pay off this facility.
507
00:24:59.450 --> 00:25:02.180
And when it is finished being paid for,
508
00:25:02.180 --> 00:25:04.520
it's gonna release all those finances
509
00:25:04.520 --> 00:25:08.390
so we can keep taking the teaching of the Bible to the ends
510
00:25:08.390 --> 00:25:10.280
of the earth -
511
00:25:10.280 --> 00:25:12.500
but thank you for being a part.
512
00:25:20.510 --> 00:25:23.780
Well, today we've been looking at 4 primary ideas about
513
00:25:23.780 --> 00:25:26.390
where the antichrist is going to come from
514
00:25:26.390 --> 00:25:29.240
and when we come back in the
next program, we're going
515
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:31.850
to see what Jesus said about
the rapture of the church.
516
00:25:31.850 --> 00:25:34.100
And you're going to be quite surprised
517
00:25:34.100 --> 00:25:35.660
because in two texts,
518
00:25:35.660 --> 00:25:40.070
Jesus speaks very clearly about the rapture of the church.
519
00:25:40.070 --> 00:25:41.360
And I want you to see it.
520
00:25:41.360 --> 00:25:43.940
So please don't miss the next program,
521
00:25:43.940 --> 00:25:46.040
but order the whole series,
which is called The Rapture,
522
00:25:46.040 --> 00:25:48.140
the Antichrist, and the Tribulation.
523
00:25:48.140 --> 00:25:50.270
Remember that it comes with a study guide
524
00:25:50.270 --> 00:25:53.690
and be sure to order the book, 464 pages cover
525
00:25:53.690 --> 00:25:55.520
to cover beautifully illustrated
526
00:25:55.520 --> 00:25:58.580
and written in a way that is so easy to read.
527
00:25:58.580 --> 00:26:00.500
And it's called, The Rapture, the Antichrist,
528
00:26:00.500 --> 00:26:03.440
the Tribulation, an End-Times Countdown
529
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:05.510
and What Happens Next.
530
00:26:05.510 --> 00:26:08.510
I really want you to have this
and you should order several
531
00:26:08.510 --> 00:26:11.510
because I'm quite certain this
is a book you're gonna want
532
00:26:11.510 --> 00:26:13.250
to share with somebody else.
533
00:26:13.250 --> 00:26:16.220
But you can order all these
things by going online
534
00:26:16.220 --> 00:26:18.350
or by giving us a call.
535
00:26:18.350 --> 00:26:20.060
And please, when you reach out to us,
536
00:26:20.060 --> 00:26:23.000
remember we are waiting to pray for you.
537
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:24.560
Call the number on the screen
538
00:26:24.560 --> 00:26:27.170
or go online, send us an email,
539
00:26:27.170 --> 00:26:29.660
and when we hear from you,
we're gonna release our faith.
540
00:26:29.660 --> 00:26:32.270
And Jesus is really gonna move.
541
00:26:32.270 --> 00:26:33.590
In fact, put your hand on your heart.
542
00:26:33.590 --> 00:26:35.330
I'm gonna pray for you right now.
543
00:26:35.330 --> 00:26:38.270
Father, I thank you in the name of Jesus.
544
00:26:38.270 --> 00:26:40.970
Lord, you don't tell us
anything to scare us,
545
00:26:40.970 --> 00:26:44.040
but you are very interested in preparing us
546
00:26:44.040 --> 00:26:45.840
and thank you that you want us
547
00:26:45.840 --> 00:26:47.580
to know what's gonna happen next
548
00:26:47.580 --> 00:26:49.380
and you want us to be prepared
549
00:26:49.380 --> 00:26:52.080
and help us to reach the unsaved
550
00:26:52.080 --> 00:26:55.740
so they will be delivered from
the wrath that is to come.
551
00:26:55.740 --> 00:27:00.740
In Jesus' name - Amen. Wow!
552
00:27:00.900 --> 00:27:02.520
Well, I'll see you tomorrow
when we're gonna see
553
00:27:02.520 --> 00:27:04.530
what Jesus said about the rapture.
554
00:27:04.530 --> 00:27:08.130
But until then, remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says,
555
00:27:08.130 --> 00:27:13.130
"Where the word of a king is, there is power."
556
00:27:13.410 --> 00:27:15.660
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
557
00:27:15.660 --> 00:27:20.040
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
558
00:27:20.040 --> 00:27:22.230
Jesus has to give you.
559
00:27:22.230 --> 00:27:26.280
Pray this prayer with me right now: Lord,
560
00:27:26.280 --> 00:27:30.300
I repent of my sin and
receive you as my Savior
561
00:27:30.300 --> 00:27:33.270
and Lord. Wash away my sin
562
00:27:33.270 --> 00:27:36.300
and make me completely new.
563
00:27:36.300 --> 00:27:40.200
I thank you that my sin is removed
564
00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:45.200
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
565
00:27:45.630 --> 00:27:49.620
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
566
00:27:49.620 --> 00:27:51.300
for the rest of my life.
567
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.790
