Hello, everybody, and welcome to today's episode of Walk With Me. I am your host, JJ. It's so good to have each and every one of you here. Thank you for liking, sharing, subscribing to the podcast. I don't, I guess I've not been saying subscribe to the podcast, but I do appreciate all of you subscribers, all of you listeners, everyone, each and every one of you. I love each and every one of you. Even those of you out there that disagree with what the Bible says. At the end of the day, I don't want it to be that you're disagreeing with me, because who am I? I'm just a guy with the podcast and a guy with the microphone and a guy with a Bible. So if you're disagreeing, it's it's uh the word of God that you're disagreeing with, right? So I love each and every one of you. Thank you all. Uh before we get into today's show, uh quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, I thank you to my sponsors, TrueBars lyrices and Squisit Creations. True Barst does the intro and the outro, the bump. And uh Squisite is doing uh working on dominoes for the show. She's found a way to make them somehow out of acrylic, and she is doing a wonderful job in doing that. Thank you all. Thank you for all of you who send me questions. Uh, all of you who uh disagree with the answer, or you who agree with the answer, I thank you for your comments. I do, I absolutely do. I love the interaction. Like I said, even if you don't agree, I still love the interaction because I love each and every one of you. And you know what? Here's the thing. Here's the thing. I'm gonna say this and then we'll get into today's episode. It there could be a possibility that I'm wrong, you know, because you know, at some point I had to I believe different things before I believe what I believe now. And some people have asked me, you know, what what are you? Are you Baptists or whatever? Listen, uh we we've talked about denominations before, we will again, because I'm getting a lot of questions about it. We will. Uh, but if if I had to fit into a box, I guess you would say I'm apostolic, right? Uh so that being said, and and I don't even like using that term, I just want to use say Christian, but you can't really say that because that has a lot of problems with it, right? So I am a person who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that he died for our sins, and in order for us to be saved, we have to repent of our sins, be baptized in Jesus' name, and receive the infilling of the Holy Ghost as the Spirit gives the utterance. Now, whatever you want to call that, I'm that's what I that's what I am, that's what I follow. And everything of the Bible. And that being said, when we talk about scripture in the Bible, and I will a lot of times I'll just, especially lately, I'll just throw out a scripture for the sake of time. Always read a verse or two above or the verse or two below, but preferably the whole chapters. Right now, we're in this big fight about whether the women should preach. I we'll talk about that. When we get through with this, we're gonna go into the whole shell women, what all that stuff. We'll go into that. I just want to get through this uh revel, this end-time Bible study, and then we'll we'll talk about that. Oh, and if you do have other questions, I've been mentioning questions and stuff like that. Either uh you can comment on the platform that you listen to the podcast, you can comment on the Facebook page, you can comment on, or you can actually just send me an email at walkwithme bible study at gmail. Uh, and and a lot of times if I can just hit you with the scripture, I'll just do that. Or if it's something that's complex like this end-time Bible study, then I'll just make an episode out of it. If you do not want your name to be mentioned, do not put it in the subject line. If you want your name to be mentioned, if you want to sort of know, or you want to be on lookout, or just kind of listening to it in the background. If you want me to address you directly, just put your name in the subject line, and that way I know. All right. I love you all. Now let's get into it. Now, last week we were talking about the 144,000 and who that 144,000 was. This week we're gonna be talking about the two beasts. Um, and this is, and remember, we've already covered all of the you know the terrestrial things and celestial things that are happening, but I wanted to separate that from the carnal things that are going to happen, the man things that are gonna happen. So last week we covered 144,000. Today we're gonna talk about the two beasts. Now, to talk about the two beasts, to truly understand what the two beasts are, you gotta understand that that like today's world, the way we are today, um, there's a lot of confusion going on. And again, this is exactly why we have this podcast. There is a lot of confusion, a lot of confusion. There's wars and rebellion and and uprising and terror, terrorism, and protesting, and and a constant, it's a constant drift, it's a constant war, so to speak. Governments all over the world. Whether you agree with them or disagree with them, you have to admit that there's it's just a constant onslaught, there's like no peace anywhere, right? There are a lot of countries that are bankrupt. Um, we're running like 40 trillion dollars in debt. I mean, I think we've kind of slowed our uh debt accumulation, we're trying to make it back up now. But there are a lot of countries that are bankrupt. Um, banks that banks have lost control of the world economy. Um, there's there's world leaders that that think that a lot of the answer to the world's problems becomes a one-world government, and it by extension a one-world church, because then they'll think, well, maybe we'll stop arguing amongst each other, and and which and then that will actually make us more uh susceptible to their control, and in addition to that, then we'll have a uh situation where you have a one-world monetary system because they really want that too. Now, I'll be honest with y'all. It seems like if with every passing day, the world gets more and more willing to accept the one-world government. We we see different countries start to align themselves, we hear stuff about BRICS, and we hear NATO, and we hear the UN. And and I'll be honest with you, when I first heard about the UN, I thought that was it. But I think the UN is going to be superseded by something else. That's just not that's just me, because the UN has too many problems and it's too weak. So I think the UN is going to be supplanted by something else that would be a lot stronger. Um, and that's where it that's where we're gonna get the one world government. Um now, when this happens, it is going to pave the way for the Antichrist to come to power. We talked about the Antichrist before, and the here's where the debate comes in is whether the rapture would take place before or after. I believe the book of JJ now, we can debate about it, whatever. The book of JJ, I think the rapture is going to happen, and that rapture, when 20-30 million people disappear from the planet, is going to usher in, it's going to be just that enough chaos to bring in the one world government and the antichrist. But that's just what I believe. All right, because when that happens, so many people are going to be scared, um, in addition to everything that's going on now, and there's it's going to be a a tendency, a leniency, or um a it's going to be a susceptibility. That's what I'm looking for, a susceptibility to follow a system that is going to promise to solve everything. Okay. Um, and then they're going to be talking about bringing universal peace. Now, please understand that the this one world system is kind of alluded to in Revelation 13, where it talks about the two men, uh, the beast and the false prophet, about being in absolute control. The Antichrist, the beast is the Antichrist, and the false prophet is going to be the head of the one world religion. Now, together, together, they're gonna have this worldwide sort of political, religious, sort of symbiotic government, and it's gonna work for a little while, okay, because it happened before. We had that in where uh Nimrod had it. Nimrod was able to create a religious slash theological government, and it sort of it sort of worked, and God had to interrupt it because everyone was together. God had to interrupt it, and he scattered everybody, and God has always ruled sort of that church and state should not be together. We could agree on some things, not saying that we shouldn't vote. Please don't take that out of context. I'm not saying don't vote, I'm not saying to talk about what's right and wrong in our political system, that is not what I'm saying. But but church and state should be separate. Don't if if and and I'm just gonna say this, and you can say what you want, you could you can unfollow me after this. This is how much I believe this. If I'm a man of God and I'm preaching in the pulpit and I'm preaching in church, I should not have a politician come and campaign in the church, and I I hate, I can't stand when that happens. But that's just me. That's just me. Just like I am not going to go into office and then demand that you follow the Bible. I want the I would prefer a get a politician who follows the Bible 100%. I prefer that, but I'm not gonna demand it because God said church and state should stay separated. I know I know a lot of people who follow my political leanings say that's not true, but it just seems that because God separated and he did what he did to Nimrod, he kind of made a statement that church and state should be separate. As a matter of fact, you got to remember when Israel decided they wanted a king, God said right away, you didn't reject the prophet, you rejected God. Because now you're picking man-made government, and the two systems are not compatible. Alright, so I said all that to say this during that final three and a half years of the tribulation, um, the beast and the prophet, the false prophet, will bring this to pass, they will find a way to sort of create this unholy marriage between government and religion. And it's going to be such a power that is going to dominate everything, and it's it's gonna be everything, they're gonna dominate everything, they're gonna dominate politics and religious and um and economics, and and when we get to that point, you're gonna know. In fact, I don't still don't want to be here, I want to be looking at it from the bleachers, so to speak, and that's in heaven. Um, so what is this? So the two beasts we're talking about now, Revelation 13, um, and they're gonna be these satanically controlled men, and the first beast comes out of the sea, Revelation 13 to 1, while the second appears out of the earth, 13 11. Now, I I suggest you pause right here and read the entire chapter of Revelation chapter 13. Read it, read it, and then when you get done, you can always come back. Now, keep in mind that all of us, every Bible student, student here, all you walkers, everyone here, can identify the Antichrist with one of these people. However, there's not always an agreement which is the Antichrist. Is the Antichrist gonna come out the seas? It's gonna come out of the earth. The problem is that it really doesn't matter. The Antichrist is going to be the opposition of Christ while at the same time going to imitate Christ, and that's how many are going to be deceived. He's gonna act like he's Jesus Christ, but then he's gonna say, Well, I don't think that little part of the law, we should even worry about that anymore. We we shouldn't uh let's let's let's not let's do away with that arcane language. Like he's gonna be real smarmy about it, he's gonna be convincing to a lot of people. Second Thessalonians 2 and 3, Paul called the Antichrist the man of sin, which really means the the man the man of lawlessness. Not that he's gonna be, you know, fornicating on the altar or something crazy like that. He's really going to push a system of lawlessness, and we kind of see that now. We kind of see where people are are really trying to adopt that whole, well, there is no such thing as the Bible and everything, you just kind of do what you want and do what you feel, and and and you know, just as long as you sort of feel good about it, and we don't take into consideration that man is inherently evil, we are inherently evil. So, and since the greatest characteristics of the Antichrist will be lawlessness, rebellion, and then later on blasphemy, we gotta accept, we we kind of kind of take the uh take it for granted that the the conclusion is that the first beast will be the antichrist. Why is that? Because it's gonna seem like in verse 5, it's going to is where it jumps off, where it's gonna say he's speaking great things and blasphemies. So the first beast has to be the antichrist. Okay, so let's talk about the Antichrist, and we got a few more minutes, so yeah. So let's talk about the Antichrist. Now, the first beast is going to be like uh a huge the Antichrist. I keep saying first beast, so let's go ahead and call him the Antichrist. That's what he is, right? So this Antichrist is going to be a dictator, and he's going to be a pretty strong dictator. Now, I know when I say the word dictator, an image of a person pops into your head. Whoever, whoever you just thought about right there, when I said dictator, imagine somebody 42 times worse, 78 times worse, 250 times worse. This is how bad this guy's core woman is going to be. We don't know. The Bible talks about him being a man, so for the sake of argument, I'm just gonna say keep him as a man. So whoever this guy is gonna be, it's gonna be nothing like you ever saw before. Hitler, everybody wants to throw Hitler around. This guy's gonna make Hitler look like a Sunday school teacher. Okay, now um, the Bible does talk about him having seven heads, two horns. Now, which we'll sort of identify him with having some sort of connection with a revised Roman Empire. Now, now you're starting to think about what could be connected to the Roman Empire. So he's going to be a leader of the final Gentile kingdom, and it's going to be that where the what we talked about in Daniel, where we talked about the toes of Nebuchadnezzar in in Daniel chapter 2. Remember, Daniel and Revelation are sister books. So the iron and the the legs of the statue represented Rome, remember? So it's also going to represent Rome in the feet and toes. The clay and the feet will not cling to the iron, so therefore the clay will be divisive. In this division, and the way this is set up now, in this division, you're going to see this political religious system, and it will sort of be together, but there will be some divisions in it. And this is where you start seeing the term the harlot, the ecumenical church, the apostate church. But it is going to serve the purpose. Now, in Daniel 7, and remember, now I'm going to start referring back to that because remember, Daniel is a sister book. In Daniel 7, the Gentile kingdom is portrayed as a lion, a bear, and a leopard. These three animals will um are portrayed as gentile kingdoms. Now, this book beast in Revelation 13 are going to have these same characteristics but in reverse order. Now, remember, we talked about the reason why things seem reverse or mirror image in Revelation. I I don't I don't mind going back over stuff. Remember that in Daniel had sort of a looking forward aspect, had sort of a look, this is gonna happen in the future. Well, Revelation, the way John is writing it, he's looking at it as something that has already happened. So that's why you will see the same characteristics, but in exactly the reverse order. Because um, John is looking at it backwards through time, he's outside of time looking backwards through time. All right, so when Daniel looked forward and he saw Babylon and Persia and Greece, John is gonna look back and see these same animals, these same characteristics of all three of these um kingdoms in reverse order. Now, so and I know I'm flying through this because I wanted to make sure I got to this part. So, how in the world does the Antichrist get his power? Because a lot of people have sent me these questions, and so I'm glad to have finally gotten to it. Now, in Revelation 13 and 1, instead of using the pronoun I, use he. Now, because in the reason why you see that is you see that uh you see a lot of virgins use he instead of I. In other words, it is Satan, not John, who is standing up on the sands of the sea, it is the dragon who's gonna give that beast the power and authority to rule the world. This is Revelation 13 and 2. Now, that word seek is always going to refer to throne. Um, the devil's throne is the world, so the beast is given power and authority over the world, and this devil is going to be seen standing on the sand of the sea, just like the first beast arises out of the sea, and it is that um that sort of illustration where a lot of people will say this is going to be the Mediterranean Sea rather than like the Atlantic Ocean or the Pacific Ocean. So I hate to tell y'all, we may not be playing, we as Americans may not be playing a role in this thing. And I don't know why yet. I'm still praying about that, but this is going to be out of the Mediterranean Sea or the Dead Sea, somewhere in that area where this is gonna happen. And the wound of the beast is a uh apparent death of this Roman Empire throughout the century. Now, the thing is that that wound is going to be healed, the Roman Empire has revived, and for many years uh the empire has not had a king, but now with that head being healed, a lot of people thinking it is going to be is going to be uh illustrative of a re-emergence of a king. This is not to say that there will not be someone who is shot in the head and recovered for three days. And I'm just saying that to me, because the Bible and John are talking more uh illustrative here, that it just might it sounds more like this is a uh this is more of a a situation where we are being drawn a picture rather than talking about a person. Okay, and if that's the case, if that's the case, then the Roman Empire will once again rehab a king rather than not have a king. All right, the three days, three and a half days, three and a half weeks, three and a half years. That's where that's where I started drawing up the correlation, and then like I said, this is all this is. all based on context clues in the word of God and and there are some things that that even though I saw we sort of come to that revelation of it I'm I can't say that I'm 100% sure we can't say anything but we're 100% sure until it happens but I do believe that it is going to um that reference to the beast is going to be talking about the Roman Empire. All right and um and when that happens it's going to consolidate the power to the Antichrist and then after that we're going to be talking about the false prophet and that's going to be that second beast that comes out of the earth which is going to be the head of the church federation I remember how now every now the whole movement is to make sure we have one of everything one world religion one world government so what is the best way to doing this rather than create that same Roman Empire creating a new Roman religion and I'm not going to say the word today because everybody gets mad when I say that word but it just seems as if they're going to try to re-strengthen that particular organization now he's going to have two main sources of power this this uh this beast this second beast the false prophet uh he's going to show miracles he's gonna uh he's gonna be able to talk a good game and he's gonna have a all manner of kind of deceptions going on as a matter of fact Revelation 1311 informs us that it will be the devil that will control his speech and give him power to perform miracles so he is going to exercise all the power that the first beast had in order to sell the fact to sell the idea that he's somebody that should be followed in fact he is going to um kind of ride the coattails of the Antichrist to his power if it ain't for the Antichrist he's not gonna have his power so when when you see um different religious political figures beefing so to speak then you can kind of read a sigh of relief that that's not the beast that's not the false prophet because they're going to get along they're gonna get along like peanut butter and jelly they're gonna get along um and then and and if you want scriptural reference to that I would suggest reading Revelation chapter 17. And when I say these things I want you to really read the whole chapter because context is key right now there's going to be an image that this guy is going to create of the first beast and give the image power to speak now this is where I come in and say I think that is going to be an AI powered image I could be wrong but it just feels like how are you going to make an image and then give the image power to speak sounds like AI to me. It could be that it could be it right and it's gonna cause the entire world to worship the first beast and this is how it's going to institute the beast worship now we're gonna talk about next week we're gonna go into depth about how these miracles are going to be performed and how everybody's going to be deceived into well not everybody but a lot of people will be deceived into thinking that this is actually the second coming of Christ so be and the only reason why they will think that is because they actually missed the second coming and we'll talk about that because this is going to be now we're truly going into the dark times and remember while this is going on we still have all of these earthquakes and and plagues and and locusts and all these things going on this is all going on simultaneously the horses have not stopped riding the four horsemen even though we're not talking about them right now they are still riding the the horsemen of death the horsemen of war the horsemen of pestilence they're still riding y'all so please understand this is going to be a very very dark time which is why it's important make your calling and election sure walk get baptized in Jesus' name get the Holy Ghost and speak in other tongues I'm repenting your sins I'm not sure why I meant I forgot that part first repent of your sins get baptized in Jesus' name get the Holy Ghost so we can get out of here all right I love each and every one of you I'll see y'all next week next week Lord Willard we're gonna talk about how the beast is going to use the power to perform miracles and and then we'll get into the mark of the beast we're really coming down to the wire so just stick with me a couple more weeks and we'll get through this I love all of you thank you thank you thank you for liking sharing and commenting and sending me your questions I love each and every one of you God bless
