The corporate Christ – Christ with His overcomers – will appear as the God-cut stone to strike the feet of the great human image, crushing the human government and increasing on earth to become a great mountain, the kingdom of God. Hallelujah!
However, before this takes place, the Antichrist will come in Europe and will lead the ten kings in open rebellion against God.
If we look around us today, things are quite muddy, and there’s a mix of believing in God and believing in man, in things, and in all kinds of silly stuff.
But one day there will be a person who is raised up, and this one is the Antichrist; he will be the man of lawlessness, the embodiment of Satan, and he will speak blasphemous things against God and will seek to wear out the saints of the Most High.
First, the Antichrist will be perceived as the one who brings peace in the Middle East, for he will sign a peace treaty with Israel, and the temple will be rebuilt.
On the other hand, after three and a half years of peace, he will break the peace, he will persecute and destroy the people of God, and he will lead the whole earth in open rebellion against God.
Antichrist will demolish and desolate the temple of God and the city of God, and in his speaking and deeds he will cast truth down to the ground.
Because God seems to not do anything about it and the Antichrist will be a very powerful and smart person, many of the God-fearing people on earth will be worn out and discouraged, and the Antichrist will destroy many of them. Oh Lord Jesus!
Because Antichrist will be the embodiment of Satan, he will have sharp insight to perceive things, and he will speak things against the Most High.
Even today there are people and entities that speak things against God and His economy, but God doesn’t intervene; but in that day, the Antichrist will wear out the saints of the Most High.
May we see what will happen at the last of these days, and may we seek to be the overcoming ones in this age, those who love the Lord, abide in His word, and who are produced to be part of the corporate Christ who will return as the God-cut stone to destroy Antichrist and the ten kings who give him their power.
As we see the vision of the great human image in Daniel and realize that we are at the feet of this human image, we need to consecrate ourselves to the Lord, stand against the wearing out tactics of the enemy, and exercise our spirit more and more so that we may be one with the Lord in what He is doing today.
We want to be those who are raptured when He returns, and we seek to be part of His overcoming bride who will return with Him to destroy Antichrist with his armies and bring in the kingdom of God!
Christ with His Overcomers will appear as the God-cut Stone to Destroy Human Government and bring in the Kingdom of God
Today we live in the age of grace, enjoying God’s grace freely; we live in the age of the church, enjoying the church life by eating and drinking Jesus; and we live in the age of mystery, for all that we enjoy and experience as believers is a mystery, something hidden.
But toward the end of this age, there will be a particular person who will rise up on the world scene, most likely in Europe, who is Antichrist, the man of sin (2 Thes. 2:3-10); he will be a lawless person.
The whole world today is heading in the direction of lawlessness; wherever we look, there’s lawlessness, and the news report is mainly a report of lawlessness happening everywhere.
Satan will be the man of lawlessness, even the lawless one (2 Thes. 2:8); he will become the son of perdition (v. 3), and his end will be in an extraordinary way – he will be defeated by the Lamb, he will be seized and thrown alive into the lake of fire.
Before this happens, however, he will do much damage and will lead the ten kings in Europe – who will give him their power and authority – in rebellion against God. But Christ, the corporate Christ – Christ with His overcomers – will appear as the God-cut stone, and He will strike the ten kings with Antichrist (Rev. 19:11-21)! Hallelujah!
Christ with His overcomers will strike Antichrist with his armies and thus crush the great image from toes to the head (Dan. 2:35); the entire human government will be destroyed and will never be found, and the kingdom of God will come in!
Riding on a white horse, Christ – who is Faithful and True – and whose name is, The Word of God, will return with His armies (the overcoming believers who follow the Word of God) to destroy the Antichrist with his armies.
Today we as those in the army of Christ need to follow Him as the Word of God; we follow Him as the Word our whole life, we follow Him as we are being raptured, we follow Him when we’re married to Him as the Word of God, and we will come back with Him as the corporate smiting stone to smite the totality of human government! Amen!
If we today with the little power we have, we follow and hold the word given to us by God, He will produce us as His overcomers, for we are joined to Him in His word, and He as the Word of God will return with us to destroy the enemy and bring in the kingdom of God!
Christ with His overcomers will not only destroy the Antichrist with his armies but also will set up God’s sweet and glorious kingdom on this earth! Amen!
After coming to defeat Antichrist and to crush the aggregate of human government, Christ with His overcomers (His overcoming bride) will increase on earth to become a great mountain, filling the whole earth with the kingdom of God!
The whole earth will become the kingdom of God as Christ with His overcomers will increase and be enlarged; this kingdom will consummate in the New Jerusalem, the ultimate step and the consummation of the divine history (Rev. 20:4, 6; 21:10). Amen!
Since we live in the age of mystery, we do well to pay attention to the prophecies in the Bible and their proper interpretation, and we need to realize that there’s a divine history going on behind and within the human history.
In the human history we see the great human image with its four main sections or empires, and we realize that we are at the end of this age, at the feet of the great human image.
In the divine history, however, we know that the whole world situation is arranged by God for the fulfillment of His purpose; there will be the Antichrist coming, and then Christ with His overcomers will return as a corporate smiting stone to destroy him and bring in the kingdom of God. Hallelujah!
Lord Jesus, cause us to see the divine history taking place within and behind the human history, and make us one with You in Your move and work on earth. Amen, Lord, we have little power, but we want to hold Your word and not deny Your name; we follow You as the Word of God, and we give ourselves to You to be produced as Your overcomers in this age. Lord, make us Your overcoming ones, the ones who marry You as Your bride, the ones returning with You as a corporate smiting stone to destroy Antichrist and the human government and bring in the kingdom of God! Amen, Lord Jesus, we are one with You as the word of God and we want to follow You as the Word until You destroy human government and set up Your sweet and glorious kingdom on this earth!
The Lord’s Recovery must Spread and be Rooted in Europe before the Crushing of Antichrist and the totality of Human Government Transpires
According to the prophecies in Rev. 19 and Dan. 2, Europe is more vitally crucial than any other country or race in the consummation of the fulfillment of the vision concerning the great human image in Daniel 2.
The Babylonian empire has come and gone, the Medo-Persian empire has come and gone, the Grecian and Macedonian empire has come and gone, and today we live in the continuation of the Roman Empire.
In particular, the prophecies speak of Europe being the place where there will be ten kings who will give their power to the beast out of the sea, the Antichrist, and Antichrist’s sphere of operation and influence will be in Europe.
Before the crushing of Antichrist and the totality of human government transpires, the Lord’s recovery must spread to Europe and be rooted there, for the crushing of the two feet of the great human image will be the crushing of the entire human government, and this will transpire in Europe.
Seeing these matters and realizing the importance of Europe, we need to pray and be one with the Lord for His recovery to spread and be rooted in Europe before Antichrist arises.
Thank the Lord that His recovery has spread to Europe, quite in a marvelous way, and it is still spreading; this is not something of our human doing but it is of the Lord.
Before Antichrist comes, we need to put Satan to shame and root the Lord’s recovery in Europe, in every major city of this dark continent.
We know that the Lord’s recovery has been deeply rooted in Taiwan, in the United States of America, and in many countries in the Far East; now we want it to be deeply rooted in all of Europe.
The gospel of the kingdom needs to spread in Europe, in all the major cities of this continent, and there has to be many lampstands shining all over this dark continent.
Outwardly men rejects God, opposes God, is in rebellion against God, and chooses lawlessness and immorality; inwardly, we need to pray and persevere in prayer for the Lord to spread His pure testimony all over Europe for Him to establish shining lampstands in this dark place.
And we seek to do this before the appearance of Antichrist on the world scene, and before Christ with His overcomers will return to destroy the totality of human government and bring in the kingdom of God on earth for one thousand years.
When Christ with His overcomers return as the God-cut stone, the smiting stone, He will struck the image at its feet of iron and clay, crush them, and the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold will all be crushed, becoming like chaff in the summer threshing floor, being carried by wind so that no trace of them be found! Hallelujah!
Christ with His overcomers will return to completely destroy all human government from Nimrod to Antichrist, and the great human image will be replaced with a great mountain – the eternal kingdom of God, which will fill the whole earth (Dan. 2:35, 44).
Amen, before this, the Lord needs to establish His recovery in Europe, in every major city in Europe, by the spreading of the divine truths and the raising up of golden lampstands to shine brightly for Him.
Lord Jesus, have a way to spread and root Your recovery in Europe, in every major city in this dark continent! Amen, Lord, before the Antichrist comes in Europe and before Christ and His overcomers will return as the God-cut stone to destroy the aggregate of human government to bring in the eternal kingdom of God, have a way to establish Your pure testimony, Your recovery, all over Europe, and root it there! We stand one with You, Lord, for You to gain so many seeking ones in Europe, bring them to the full knowledge of the truth, build them up together, and constitute them into Your shining testimony in city after city and country after country, standing against the lawlessness and darkness in this age!
