The Prophet Daniel tells us what happens in the Last Day.
10 And [in my vision] this Horn Grew Great,
Even against the Host of Heaven
[God’s True People, the Saints],
And some of the Host and of the Stars [priests]
It Cast Down to the Ground and Trampled on them.
11 Yes [this Horn] Magnified itself,
Even [matching itself]
Against the Prince of the Host [of Heaven];
And from Him the Continual Burnt Offering
Was taken away,
And the place of God’s Sanctuary
Was Cast Down and Profaned.
12 And the Host [the Chosen People]
And Strength were given to [the Wicked Horn]
Together with the Continual Burnt Offering,
BECAUSE OF THE TRANSGRESSION [OF GOD’S PEOPLE]--
THEIR ABOUNDING IRREVERENCE, UNGODLINESS
AND LACK OF PIETY.
AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH
WERE CAST DOWN TO THE GROUND,
And the Wicked Horn Accomplished this
[BY DIVINE PERMISSION] AND PROSPERED.
(Daniel 8:10-12, AMP)
These verses from Daniel 8 tell us that in the Last Day,
The Wicked Horn, the Antichrist, Casts to the Ground
Some of God’s True People and Tramples on them
And there is a Great Apostasy within the Church.
The Antichrist declares he is equal to Christ Jesus,
The Prince of the Host.
The Worship of God, the Continual Burnt Offering,
Is taken away
And the Place of God’s Sanctuary
Is Cast Down and Profaned.
The Wicked Horn was given the Strength
To do these things,
Because of the Transgression of God’s People--
Their Abounding Irreverence, Ungodliness
And Lack of Piety.
And Righteousness and Truth
Were Cast Down to the Ground.
And the Wicked Horn accomplishes this
By Divine Permission and Prospered.
These are Sobering Verses.
What must we, God’s True People, do?
Christ Jesus tells us:
WE MUST ENDURE PATIENTLY
As the Chaos and Wickedness in the World
Becomes ever increasing until the return of Christ Jesus,
We Must Endure Patiently.
Revelation 3:7-13
To the angel of the Church in Philadelphia write:
These are the Words of Him who is Holy and True,
Who holds the Key of David.
What He Opens, no one can Shut;
And what He Shuts, no one can Open.
I know your Deeds.
See, I have placed before you
An Open Door that no one can Shut.
I know that you have little strength,
Yet you have Kept My Word and have not Denied My Name.
I will make those who are of the Synagogue of Satan,
Who claim to be Jews though they are not, but Liars--
I will make them come and Fall Down at your Feet
And Acknowledge that I have Loved you.
SINCE YOU HAVE KEPT MY COMMAND
TO ENDURE PATIENTLY
I WILL ALSO KEEP YOU FROM THE HOUR OF TRIAL
THAT IS GOING TO COME UPON THE WHOLE WORLD
TO TEST THOSE WHO LIVE ON THE EARTH.
I AM COMING SOON.
Hold on to what you have,
So that no one will take your Crown.
He who Overcomes
I will make a Pillar in the Temple of My God.
Never again will he leave it.
I will write on him the Name of My God
And the Name of the City of My God, the New Jerusalem,
Which is Coming Down out of Heaven from My God;
And I will also write on him My New Name.
He who has an ear,
Let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
