Beast On A Leash!
"And God changes the times and the seasons;
He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives
wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those
who have understanding."
Daniel 2:21
When it's time to vote for the leader of a nation, massive
amounts of time, money, and strategies are invested
for
months prior to the election. When the race is close, the
nation waits nervously to see who the new leader will be.
The Bible simplifies matters: It's God who
removes
leaders and establishes leaders
according to His purposes.
The day is coming in the future when a world leader will rise
with greater and more brutal power than any leader in
history
(Revelation 13:1-10). He will be the Antichrist—“the beast”
(Revelation 13:2)—and will terrorize the world for three-and-
a-half years, the second half of the seven-year Tribulation.
He will be given power by “the great dragon” (Satan—
Revelation 12:9) under whose influence the world exists
(1 John 5:19). But Satan is like a dog on a leash—firmly
controlled by God at all
times.
Though the rule of the Antichrist will be terrible,
Christians will have been removed from the earth
at the Rapture before the Tribulation
begins.
Make sure your future is in Christ!
"All the world’s thrones are occupied
by rulers under God’s authority."
John Blanchard
