The Book of Daniel

– World unites under his leadership.

• Has complete power for 3.5 years.

Next Time

Is It Plausible for Ancient Nations to Disappear, Then Reappear?

Israel? A Revived Roman

Empire?

Isaiah 11:11

In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to bring back the remnant of his people— those who remain in Assyria and northern Egypt; in southern Egypt, Ethiopia, and Elam; in Babylonia, Hamath, and all the distant coastlands.

Ezekiel 37:1-31 The LORD took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the LORD to a valley filled with bones. 2 He led me all around among the bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground and were completely dried out.

Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?” “O Sovereign LORD,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that.”

Ezekiel 37:4-6 4 Then he said to me, “Speak

a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the LORD!

5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again!

6 I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”

Ezekiel 37:7-8 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone.

I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.

Ezekiel 37:9-10

Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to the winds, son of man. Speak a prophetic message and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, O breath, from the four winds! Breathe into these dead bodies so they may live again.’”

So I spoke the message as he commanded me, and breath came into their bodies. They all came to life and stood up on their feet—a great army.

Ezekiel 37:11-12

Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones represent the people of Israel. They are saying, ‘We have become old, dry bones—all hope is gone. Our nation is finished.’ Therefore, prophesy to them and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: O my people, I will open your graves of exile and cause you to rise again. Then I will bring you back to the land of Israel.’

Ezekiel 37:21

“I will gather the people of Israel from among the nations. I will bring them home to their own land from the places where they have been scattered.

Ezekiel 37:24

“ ‘My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd. They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees.’ ”

Context: The End of History

as we know it.

2 Samuel 7:12-13 [To King David] “When your days are over and you rest with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring to succeed

you…I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.”

Luke 21:20-24

They will be killed by the sword or sent away as captives to all the nations of the world.

And Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the period of the Gentiles comes to an end.

“And there will be strange signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange

tides. People will be terrified at what they see coming upon the earth, for the powers in the

heavens will be shaken.

Biblical vs. Pseudo Prophecy

Specific, not vague.Straightforward.

– Syntax, Context, Grammar

– Makes a Deliberate Point.

Objective.

At forty-five degrees the sky will burn, Fire to approach the great new city: In an instant a great scattered flame will leap up, when one will want to demand proof of the Normans.

Isaiah 44:6-7

6 This is what the LORD says—Israel’s King and Redeemer, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies: “I am the First and the Last; there is no other God. 7 Who is like me? Let him step forward and prove his power. Let him do as I have done since ancient times when I established a people and explained its future.

Is a One-World Government Plausible?

How would someone gain control?Wouldn’t America & others resist?

Globalization: A Peaceful Unification

Rev. 17:12-13 “And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour. These have one purpose: they give their power and authority to the beast.”

Rev. 13:3 “The whole world was astonished and followed the beast.”

“Humans have destroyed more than 30 percent of the natural world since 1970…Consumption pressure has doubled in the past 25 years and continues to accelerate.”– “Living Planet Report” 1998 London, Cambridge, funded by the World

Wide Fund for Nature, the New Economics Foundation, and the World Conservation Monitoring Center at Cambridge, England, reported in Columbus Dispatch, Oct. 6, 1998, p.4A.

“I think it is folly to expect science to pull a rabbit out of the hat in the 11th hour to solve the food production problem. The hunger and misery of millions will provoke a great global holocaust.” –Dr. Norman Borlaug, agricultural scientist at

Globalization: Economy

“The emergence of a full-blown global marketplace in which goods, money, and people flow easily back and forth across national borders around the world comes as a shock. Suddenly, the volume of world trade has reached staggering proportions.” Global Embrace, Corporate Challenges in a Transnational World, Henry Wendt, (New York: Harpers Business) 1993, p27

Globalization: Economy

According to United Nations data, “Today, the fifty largest financial corporations in the world represent well over one third of total world banking assets…Thirty-six of these fifty largest companies are headquartered in Europe.”Source: United Nations Conference on Trade and Development – World Investment Report 2009

It wasn't until '94 that banks could even operate across state borders; now they can operate across international borders with ease.

“a world-wide battle over ideas—over what kind of economic system is likely

to deliver the greatest benefit to the most

people”

“While there may be no winners in the current economic crisis, there are losers, and among the big losers is support for American-style capitalism. This has consequences we’ll be living with for a long time to come.”

Globalization: Economy

Britain’s Prime Minister

Globalization: Economy(2/19/2011) The Group of 20, or G-20, is an international body that meets to discuss economic issues. Its members— 19 countries with some of the world's biggest industrial and emerging economies, plus the European Union— represent about 90 percent of the world's gross national product, 80 percent of world trade (including trade within the European Union) and two-thirds of the global population.

The organization…has taken on a new prominence in the current economic crisis.

The result of the [2009] G20 Summit seems to have flown under the radar for most Americans. A global plan was adopted that called for uniform regulations and bylaws that will be governed by the Financial Stability Board (FSB). This board includes representatives from all G20 countries…

Whether or not they intend to keep their commitment, all the G20 members have agreed to put their important financial institutions, instruments, and markets under the authority of a single regulatory agency: the Financial Stability Board. (Jeremiah: “Economic Armageddon”, p. 66)

Globalization: Technology

Globalization: Technology

It's one of those vast social upheavals that everyone understands but that hardly anyone notices, because it seems too ordinary: the long-predicted "cashless society" has quietly arrived, or nearly so; currency, coins and checks are receding as ways of doing everyday business; we've become Plastic Nation…If you visit the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing …THE BUCK STARTS HERE, say signs on some printing presses. In reality, today's buck usually begins (and ends) as a mere data entry.

“…less than $400 billion in currency supports a $13 trillion economy.”

From 1999 to 2005, the number of card-swiping terminals nearly tripled to 6.8 million

This placid transformation is astonishing. Historically, the nature of money has been an explosive issue…The comparatively tranquil triumph of electronic money reflects its origins in technology, not politics.
