throughout history empires have risen and Fallen each leaving its mark on civilization but Daniel 7 gives us a unique perspective a vision from God that unveils the course of world history through four symbolic beasts many biblical Scholars recognize these four beasts as representing Babylon Meadow Persia Greece and Rome however Daniel's prophecy extends Beyond these ancient empires into the last days where we see the rise of a revived Roman Empire and the Antichrist this sermon we will explore how these Four Kings relate to the New World Order and whether their prophecy is being fulfilled in our
time the geopolitical landscape today reveals an unprecedented shift towards Global governance digital economies and surveillance-based Control Systems all of which eerily align with the vision of Daniel the first Beast the lion with Eagle wings Daniel describes the first Beast as a lion with Eagle wings Daniel 7:4 the first was like a lion and it had the wings of an eagle I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted from the ground so that it stood on two feet like a human being and the mind of a human was given to it this
represents the Babylonian Empire specifically King Nebuchadnezzar who was humbled by God and later restored Babylon was known for its strength and Dominion yet as the wings were plucked its power was diminished could we be seeing a modern parallel with superpowers today where Nations once Mighty are now weakening Babylon was the dominant power of its time with immense influence over culture Commerce and governance however just as Nebuchadnezzar was was humbled by God and forced to recognize his sovereignty so too do we see world powers today being shaken economic instability political turmoil and societal Decay mirror the
fall of Babylon the question we must ask is are we witnessing a shift in the world order where powerful Nations lose their standing making way for a new dominant Force what you need to understand about the passage of time and the passage of history is that Empires rise and Empires fall kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall that is a proven fact throughout history this pattern is well documented and supported by historical evidence of across civilizations no Empire has lasted indefinitely and history is full of examples of once great powers that eventually declined or collapsed the Babylonian
Empire Rose to power under Nebuchadnezzar but fell to the Persians under Cyrus the Great the Greek Empire rose with Alexander the Great who conquered vast lands but after his death it weakened and was eventually overtaken by Rome the British Empire the last great Empire was the largest in history at its height controlling vast regions worldwide however it declined after World War II as decolonization reduced its power no Nation no matter how powerful is guaranteed to last forever history teaches us that economic strength military dominance and cultural influence are fleeting Babylon Persia Greece and Rome all
seemed Invincible in their Prime yet they collapsed in time today we see modern superpowers rising and asserting Global dominance but cracks are forming Financial instability political unrest and moral Decay the Bible warns that the kingdoms of this world are temporary and only God's kingdom will stand forever as we watch world events unfold we must remember that no Empire is beyond the reach of God's judgment the second beast the bear with three ribs the second beast is a bear raised on one side holding three ribs in its mouth Daniel 7:5 and there before me was a
second beast which looked like a bear it was raised up on one of its sides and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth it was told get up and eat your fill of Flesh this symbolizes the meadow Persian Empire where Persia dominated over the mes the three ribs represent conquered Nations Babylon Lydia and Egypt this bear told to devour much flesh signals a powerful expansionist Kingdom Cyrus the Great the ruler of the Persian Empire played a pivotal role in this Conquest he overthrew Babylon in 539 BC fulfilling the prophecy in Isaiah 44
where God had called him by name long before his birth Cyrus was known not only for his military strength but also for his policy of allowing exiled peoples including the Jews to return to their homelands demonstrating how God used him for his Divine purposes the third Beast the Swift Leopard with four heads the third Beast is a leopard with four wings and four heads Daniel 76 after that I looked and there before me was another Beast one that looked like a leopard and on its back it had four wings like those of a bird this
Beast had four heads and it was given authority to rule the fourth Beast the terrifying Dreadful Kingdom the fourth Beast is unlike the others Daniel 7:7 after that in my vision at night I looked and there before me was a fourth Beast terrifying and frightening and very powerful it had large iron teeth it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left it was different from all the former beasts and it had 10 horns it has iron teeth 10 horns and a mysterious little horn that speaks blasphemies this Beast is widely recognized as
the Roman Empire but its final form is still in the future the Roman Empire was ruled by a succession of powerful Caesars including Augustus tiberious and Nero who exercised absolute control over their Dominion these rulers not only expanded the Empire's border orders but also enforced laws and societal structures that influenced much of the modern world their Reigns were often marked by tyranny persecution and an unquenchable thirst for power foreshadowing the type of global rule that will be seen in the final manifestation of this beastly Kingdom it signifies the emergence of a global government A New
World Order led by the Antichrist the New World Order and the Four Kings of Daniel serve as a stark reminder that history is not random God is guiding world events according to his prophetic plan the four beasts of Daniel's Vision symbolize the rise and fall of world Empires but the final Beast points to a future global system unlike anything before today we see World po shifting towards centralization digital control and mass surveillance could this be the foundation of the revived Roman Empire as Nations consolidate power and Global governance strengthens we must remain watchful no earthly
kingdom is permanent but God's kingdom is eternal the signs of the times are unfolding before us those who have eyes to see must recognize what is happening the question is not if the New World Order will emerge but when the Bible is clear in Revelation 13:16 to17 a time is coming when no one will be able to buy or sell unless they have the mark of the beast look at the world around us can you not already see the trajectory we are on governments and corporations are rapidly advancing toward a cashless Society centralized digital currencies
and biometric identification systems surveillance Tech technology is expanding and personal freedoms are being redefined what once seemed like a distant prophecy is now unfolding before our very eyes this is not a conspiracy it is prophecy the Bible clear States a time is coming where you will not be able to buy or sell without the mark Revelation 13:16 to 17 it also forced all people Great and Small rich and poor free enslave to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark
which is the name of the Beast or the number of its name the very structures that will enable the Antichrist control are being established right now global Elites openly discuss great resets digital economies and unifying Global governance Concepts that align ear ly with the Beast system described in scripture the world is sleepwalking into Revelation 13 and many do not even realize it the technology the control systems and the economic mechanisms are already being put in place the foundations of a system where obedience to the global order determines access to financial resources are being laid before
us this is not speculation it is happening in real time but here's the key God has already told us the ending no matter how powerful the New World Order becomes it will be shortlived the Beast will rise but it will also fall crushed by the return of Jesus Christ his kingdom is the only one that will last forever so as we watch the world rapidly align with prophecy the real question is not is this happening but rather are are you ready will you stand firm in Christ or will you conform to A system that is
doomed to judgment the time to decide is now because the world as we know it is rapidly changing and prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes then the world is changing but your Redemption draws near do not be afraid of the rapid transformation happening before your eyes for these events have already been foretold the rise of global control the push toward a one world system and the increasing darkness in society are not signs of defeat but proof that God's word is true every prophecy spoken will come to pass just as it was written do not
be shaken by the spirit of the Antichrist that is already at work in the world though deception increases though lawlessness abounds and though wickedness grows stronger our faith must remain unshaken Jesus warned us that these things must come to pass before his return and He commands us not to fear why because we know how the story ends the final Kingdom of man will rise but it will also fall because nothing can stand against the coming kingdom of God we are not to tremble like those who have no hope the systems of this world will rise
but they will also fall the Antichrist will have his moment but his reign will be short lived and his power will be destroyed by the brightness of Christ's coming the kingdoms of men will pass away but the kingdom of God will endure forever so stand firm do not fear the coming trials do not cower before the world's agendas do not compromise your faith to fit into a system destined for judgment instead lift your eyes for your Redemption draws near the king is coming and his reign will be Eternal unshakable and Victorious every knee will bow
and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord hold on to that truth because our Victory is already secured in him
