While
I was contemplating the horns, behold, another horn, a little
one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were pulled
out by the roots before it; and behold, this horn possessed
eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth uttering great boasts.
(NASB) Dan. 7:7-8 |
In Daniel’s dream we find that the little horn - a world leader
- rises up and gains control of three of the world leaders or nations.
Now there are only seven of the original ten leaders or nations plus
the little horn. The little horn is the anitchrist and he rules this
great world coalition. This world coalition is a group of nations
who come together to control the world. We believe they will come
from Europe and from European ancestry. This world coalition will
take control during a period of time we call the Tribulation. The
last section of Daniel will explain more of our future.
Conclusion.
Dreams! Dreams about the future. What do you dream about, if you do
dream? Today, many seek dreams thinking that God will speak to them.
Others search their dreams worrying about themselves, their past traumas,
and abuses. Still others claim that God has spoken to them in dreams.
But every Christian needs to be warned that many false prophets existed
not only in the Old Testament but also today. men who claim to have
a word from the Lord. Listen to what God has said,
| |
I
have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy falsely
in My name, saying, ‘I had a dream, I had a dream!’
How long? Is there anything in the hearts of the prophets who
prophesy falsehood, even these prophets of the deception of
their own heart, who intend to make My people forget My name
by their dreams which they relate to one another . . . (NASB)
Jer. 23:25-27 |
God has not always spoken through dreams and visions.
| |
.
. . And word from the LORD was rare in those days, visions were
infrequent. (NASB) 1 Samuel 3:1 |
God has already spoken to us in sixty-six books, 1189 chapters, 31,173
verses, and 807,361 words. We call it the Bible. There are fewer than
25 dreams and visions in the Bible. Yes, God has spoken through dreams
to select individuals but there is something more important in the
Christian life than seeking dreams. It is seeking to know and love
God!
