https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 3 * BOOK 81 THE FOUR GREAT EMPIRES INTERPRETED - 3 Daniel 7:14-9:2 Okay, good to have you all back from the break. We’ll go into program three this afternoon. My, they’re going fast today, aren’t they? Okay, again, for those of you out in television, I haven’t mentioned it today, but we’re just an informal Bible study. That’s why I will not wear a suit and tie. I want people to be able to enjoy a cup of coffee, because this is just like a home Bible study, only quite a bit larger. And now since we’re reaching so many, it’s really getting large. But again, we always appreciate hearing from you and that you are praying for us out in TV. All right, let’s go right back where we left off in Daniel chapter 7. We’ll repeat the verse that we closed with, might not have gotten all of it. Daniel 7:25 “And he (speaking now of this anti-Christ that’s coming) he shall speak great words against the most High, (In other words, he’s going to be blasphemous.) and shall wear out the saints (That is the Jews of his day. He’s going to be constantly on them in persecution and killing them off.) and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: (Now, I want you to catch that word. That’s part of his operation—it is to change things.) and they shall be given into his hand until (See, there’s a time word again. If you become a student of Scripture, you can tell exactly what it’s talking about. It’ll be--) until a time and times and the dividing of time (or three-and-a-half-years).” In other words, just like Daniel chapter 9 is going to point out when we get there—at the middle of the seven years, exactly the middle of seven years, he will come from, I think, his headquarters in Europe. And he’ll go into that rebuilt Temple up there on the Temple Mount as result of the seven year treaty made back in Revelation, and he will turn against the Jews in particular. But he will also bring on despotic rule to the whole world. All right, so it’ll be for three-and-a-half years. The first three-and-a-half and the second three-and-a-half. All right, verse 26: Daniel 7:26 “But the judgment shall sit, (In other words, what God has declared.) and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.” That’ll be at the Second Coming of Christ when He will utterly defeat and destroy this man anti-Christ and whatever he’s been able to hold together. Now you’ve got to remember that the scenario on planet Earth is going to be beyond human description. It’s going to be death and destruction. I’ve showed the verses over and over from Jeremiah and some of the other prophets of the total death and destruction that will happen on planet Earth in those last three-and-a-half years. All right, now verse 27: Daniel 7:27a “And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting...” In other words, that’s what Christ will bring in at His Second Coming. That remnant of Israel that we saw escaping in Matthew 24 will come back up now, every last Jew a believer. They will now be a nation of men, women, boys, and girls—all believers—and they will begin to repopulate the Nation of Israel. And they will enjoy that whole Middle East as we drew it on the board in the first program this afternoon. That’s Israel’s future. Two thirds are going to be lost, but one third will come into the earthly Kingdom. Now, you see, that’s a fact of Scripture that I’ve been emphasizing all over the country. We just came back from Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee and had a fabulous time. And this is what I’m emphasizing—that God has never had more than the small remnant of the human race. Never has He had the multitudes. Only eight were on the ark. Then you come up into Israel’s history. My, Elijah, you’ve heard me repeat it over and over. He thought he was the only one. That’s how bad it was. But God still had seven thousand scattered throughout the nation. But out of seven million that’s only like one out of a thousand. That’s not many. And then you come to Isaiah at the time that he was prophesying the coming doom of the Babylonian invasion. How did Isaiah put it? Had it not been for the very small remnant of the righteous. Well, what’s a very small remnant? Not much! And that’s all that was left in Israel in Isaiah’s day. And then, of course, in came the Babylonian invasion and took the whole nation out to Babylon. But did it change their spiritual life? No. They didn’t even have an interest in going back to the Holy Land when Cyrus came along and gave them permission. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
