Revelation 11

The Book of Revelation

REVELATION 11

11:1A reed like a rod was given to me. Someone said, “Rise, and measure God’s temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it.

11:2Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don’t measure it, for it has been given to the gentiles. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.

11:3I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”

11:4These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing before the Lord of the earth.

11:5If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way.

11:6These have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

11:7When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.

*** The United Nations came after the Second World War – The birth of the United Nations !

11:8Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

*** The great city, New York, Headquaters of the United Nations !

11:9From among the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations people will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.

11:10Those who dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and they will be glad. They will give gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

11:11After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them.

11:12I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” They went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies saw them.

11:13In that day there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

11:14The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe comes quickly.

11:15The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever!”

11:16The twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God’s throne, fell on their faces and worshiped God,

11:17saying: “We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was*; because you have taken your great power, and reigned.

11:18The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your bondservants the prophets, their reward, as well as to the saints, and those who fear your name, to the small and the great; and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

11:19God’s temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.

Prophecies the Antichrist will Fulfill

PROPHECIES THE ANTICHRIST WILL FULFILL

  • 1. Daniel 7:24-25 The antichrist will be a man.
  • 2. Daniel 9:27 He will confirm a covenant for 7 years. Now also, this does not mean that he creates this covenant. The word here for “confirm” is 1396 gabar (gaw-bar’); a primitive root;to be strong; by implication, to prevail, act insolently: KJV– exceed, confirm, be great, be mighty, prevail, put to more [strength], strengthen,be stronger, be valiant. The antichrist will strengthen a covenant for a 7 year time span. Now this could be an existing covenant (like the Jerusalem Covenant) or a new covenant drawn up at that time.
  • 3. Daniel 7:8 He will rise among 10 kings
  • 4. Daniel 2:44 This 10 nation union will be a revived Holy Roman Empire.
  • 5. Daniel 7:8 He will uproot 3 kings from the original 10 kings to gain political power.
  • 6. Revelations 13:1-2 His 10 nation union will merge into a world government which he will dominate. Now this also, could refer to several things. First, the 10 nations could merge into an EXISTING world government, such as the U.N. Or it could for a new world government, much like the U.N. Or, this 10 nation confederation could be something like the new 10 nation common stock market. A union like this would definitely rule the world, without having a “seat” of power. Whoever controls the money, controls the globe.
  • 7. Daniel 8:25 He will ascend to power on a platform of peace. By peace, he will destroy many.
  • 8. Revelations 13:11-12 He will be promoted and exalted by a miracle working religious partner (False Prophet)
  • 9. Revelations 17:8 He was, and is not, and yet is. More than likely this is referring to political power. The antichrist will have ruled, but then be taken out of power. Only to rise back up again to power as the head of the One World Government.
  • 10. Revelations 17:14 The world government over which he rules will be a red (communistic or socialistic) government.
  • 11. Revelations 17:11 The antichrist will be preceded by 7 kings or rulers. He will be the 8th king. He will also be of “the Seven”. Now this scripture has many different ways it can be viewed. The word “goeth” in the scripture is 5217 hupago (hoop-ag’-o); from 5259 and 71; to lead (oneself) under, i.e. withdraw or retire (as if sinking out of sight), literally or figuratively: KJV– depart, get hence, go (a-) way. So we see that he will withdraw or retire from sight. But will rise back up again to power. Now this could be taken as to mean 7 kings. Or this could be taken as 7 World Governments that have ruled. So far there have been 6. 1. Egypt. 2. Assyria. 3. Babylon. 4. Medo-Persia. 5. Greece. 6. Rome
  • 12. Daniel 7:8 He will have a mouth speaking great things. Very boastful.
  • 13. Daniel 7:20 His look will be more stout than his fellows. The word “stout” means 7227 rab (rab); by contracted from 7231; abundant (in quantity, size, age, number, rank, quality): KJV– (in) abound (-undance, -ant, -antly), captain, elder, enough, exceedingly, full, great (-ly, man, one), increase, long (enough, [time]), (do, have) many (-ifold, things, a time), ([ship-]) master, mighty, more, (too, very) much, multiply (-tude), officer, often [-times], plenteous, populous, prince, process [of time], suffice (-lent). So this can have several meanings. It could mean one of the following: the antichrist will be larger in size than everybody else, will be older than everybody else, will have more of a “following” than anybody else, is a higher military or political rank than anybody else, or is more qualified than anybody else. What ever this verse is speaking about, it is obvious when you look at Him.
  • 14. Daniel 8:23 He will have a fierce countenance.
  • 15. Daniel 8:23 He will understand puzzling things.
  • 16. Daniel 8:25 He will cause craft to prosper. It is interesting to note the definition of the word “craft” here. It is 4820 mirmah (meer-maw’); from 7411 in the sense of deceiving; fraud: KJV– craft, deceit (-ful, -fully), false, feigned, guile, subtilly, treachery. No wonder, for the Bible says that he is the father of lies. So his policy or his success will make it possible for his deception of the world to prosper. God said that if you do not believe the truth, that he would send strong delusion that you should believe a lie.
  • 17. Revelations 13:5 He apparently assumes world dominating power 3 1/2 years after he confirms the covenant. He then will continue to reign for 42 months.
  • 18. Daniel 9:27 The Abomination of Desolation is the event that signals the beginning of this final 42 months. It is interesting to note, that many scholars believe that at the Abomination of Desolation is when Revelations 12:7-10 occurs. At which point the Antichrist becomes “possessed” by Satan himself and then forces the Mark or death upon everybody.
  • 19. Thessalonians 2:4 He opposes God.
  • 20. Daniel 11:36 He will speak marvelous things against the God of gods.
  • 21. Thessalonians 2:4 He will exalt himself above all that is called God.
  • 22. Thessalonians 2:4 He will sit in the temple of God.
  • 23. Thessalonians 2:4 He will claim to be God (or an incarnation of God).
  • 24. Daniel 11:31 He will take away the daily sacrifices from the temple.
  • 25. Daniel 11:45 He will plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain. It would seem here that the Antichrist will setup small “fortifications” in between the sea and Jerusalem, to help keep control over things in distant areas away from the main offices.
  • 26. Revelations 13:7 He will have power to make war with the saints and to overcome them.
  • 27. Daniel 7:21-25 He will continue this war with the saints for 3 1/2 years.
  • 28. Matthew 24:15-21 This time of Great Tribulation is launched upon the Earth by the antichrist at the Abomination of Desolation. Up until this time, it would seem that he is a man of peace and not war. But now he shows his true colors. Perhaps is possessed by Satan himself at this point as well. Which would account for the false front being dropped at this time.
  • 29. Daniel 12:7 During this time, the antichrist will scatter the power of the holy people.
  • 30. Daniel 7:7 He will rule a mighty and strong kingdom.
  • 31. Revelations 13:7 He was given power over all kindreds, tongues and nations.
  • 32. Daniel 7:23 His kingdom will devour the whole earth.
  • 33. Daniel 11:31 He will have great military power that will stand behind him, to enforce his laws.
  • 34. Daniel 7:25 He will try to change times and laws; and they will be given into his power for 3 1/2 years.
  • 35. Daniel 11:38 He will give great honor to the God of forces, with gold, silver, jewels,…
  • 36. Daniel 8:24 He will prosper in everything that he does.
  • 37. Daniel 11:37 He will not regard the God of his fathers.
  • 38. Daniel 11:37 He will not regard the desire of women. It is interesting to note here that most people think that he will be a homosexual, which could be. But rather I think that he will place limitations upon children being born. Similar to what is being done in China now. Why? Because it is the natural desire of a woman, that God has given to them, to be a mother. By not regarding this natural desire, he would cause a “forced” limit on the amount of children a woman was “allowed” to have.
  • 39. Revelations 14:11 The mark of the beast will be the amount of his name.
  • 40. Revelations 15:2 All that dwell upon the Earth will worship him, except those who’s names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
  • 41. Revelations 15:2 He will have an image made after him. This could also be in reference to his kingdom’s logo or insignia. Much like the U.N. has a logo that every soldier on a U.N. mission must wear, there might also be a logo or insignia that his armies would have to wear His coming will be after the workings of Satan.
  • 42. Thessalonians 2:8 His coming will be after the workings of Satan.
  • 43. Revelations 17:14 He will fight against Jesus Christ at Armageddon. And he will loose.
  • 44. Daniel 8:25 He will stand against the Prince of princes.
  • 45. Thessalonians 2:8 The Lord will consume him with the spirit of his mouth. Which is the Word of God.
  • 46. Thessalonians 2:8 The Lord will destroy him with the brightness of his coming. Which is his glory.
  • 47. Revelations 19:20 He will be cast alive into the lake of fire.
  • 48. Revelations 20:10 He will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
  • 49. Daniel 7:20 His look will be more stout than his fellows. The word “stout” means 7227 rab (rab); by contracted from 7231; abundant (in quantity, size, age, number, rank, quality): KJV– (in) abound (-undance, -ant, -antly), captain, elder, enough, exceedingly, full, great (-ly, man, one), increase, long (enough, [time]), (do, have) many (-ifold, things, a time), ([ship-]) master, mighty, more, (too, very) much, multiply (-tude), officer, often [-times], plenteous, populous, prince, process [of time], suffice (-lent). So this can have several meanings. It could mean one of the following: the antichrist will be larger in size than everybody else, will be older than everybody else, will have more of a “following” than anybody else, is a higher military or political rank than anybody else, or is more qualified than anybody else. What ever this verse is speaking about, it is obvious when you look at him.
