Daniel prophesied that the Messiah as the Son of Man (God- Man) would rule all the nations.
9 The Ancien t of Days (the Father) …His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head
was like pure wool…13 Behold, One like the Son of Man , coming with the clouds of heaven!
He came to the Ancient of Days…14 To Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom,
tha t all peoples …should serve Him...27 Then the…the greatness of the kingdoms under the
whole heaven, shall be given to the people , the saints of the Most High.
(Dan.
7:9-14, 27)
H.
As King of Kings, Jesus will strike the nations to remove their unrighteous lea ders and laws.
15 He should strike the nations …He Himself treads…the fierceness and wrath of God.
16 He
has on His robe…a name written: King of kings and Lord of lords.
(Rev.
19:15- 16)
I.
Jesus is preparing His Church to operate in authority to bring a grea t Harvest of souls to God.
9 A great multitude…of all nations…and tongues standing before the Throne… (Rev.
7:9)
14 This gospel…will be preached in all the world…and then the end will come.
(Mt.
24:14)
II.
THE BIBLICAL VIEW OF THE GREAT TRIBULATIO N
A.
The pr imary theme of the Tribulation is God’s judgment against the Antichrist’s empire that is
being released by the End -Time Church under Jesus’ leadership.
The secondary theme is
tribulation against the saints from the Antichrist (Rev.
12:12; 13:4, 8).
In the Book of Acts, some
were martyred, yet its primary theme was the acts of the Spirit through the praying apostles.
B.
We need not fear the Tribulation as powerless victims seeking to escape it.
We stand boldly as
Jesus’ Bride who releases it under His leadersh ip.
Moses did not seek to escape his role in
releasing tribulation on Pharaoh nor did the apostles seek to avoid their role in the Book of Acts.
C.
The Church is not absent for the Tribulation but under Jesus’ leadership will release the
Tribulation by praye r.
Jesus will not release it without the partnership of His praying Bride.
III.
THE BOOK OF REVELATION : END- TIME BOOK OF ACTS
A.
Book of Revelation is the End -Time Book of Acts given to us in advance so we may walk in a
unified prayer focus by knowing the sequences of the Seals and Trumpets.
We will engage in the
prayer of faith globally to bind and loos e according to God’s will ( Mt.
16:18-19; 18:18-19).
18 On this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
19 I
will give y ou the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound
in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
(Mt.
16:18-19)
18 Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will
be loosed in heaven…19 I f two of you agree on earth…it will be done… (Mt.
18:18- 19)
B.
The Mt.
16 context focuses on prevailing over the authority of hell .
The Mt.
18 context focuses
on how the Church will function in unity (with several hundred million intercessors)..
