Who will divide the land for gain?
Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. Stop point: 103:24 At the same time anarchy is seeking to sweep away all law, not only divine, but human. The centralizing of wealth and power; the vast combinations for the enriching of the few at the expense of the many; the combinations of the poorer classes for the defense of their interests and claims; the spirit of unrest, of riot and bloodshed; the world-wide dissemination of the same teachings that led to the French Revolution-all are tending to involve the whole world in a struggle similar to that which convulsed France. {Ed 228.2} |
Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Lets take a step back and look at the time we are at. Daniel 7 says this about the Kingdoms. These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.(Dan 7:17) Daniel 8 says this.
Medo-Persia - "but he did according to his will, and became great." When I look "shall divide the land for gain", I don't see this as a local event. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. (Rev 13:3)
In Revelation 17 I believe the seventh head that receives power one hour with the Beast is the U.N. Plus we can see the Papacy dividing the land for their gain. |
