  13. His Kingdom Come • Daniel highlights how God will use four world empires for His purpose of bringing Israel to salvation and preparing them for world leadership, while He purifies His Church and establishes His kingdom on earth.

  14. His Kingdom Come • It also reveals the certainty of victory and the intensity of the battle that Israel and the Church will have in the end times as they stand together against the evil that will manifest in the Antichrist’s empire.

  15. Decoding Daniel Daniel 12:4 (AMPC) But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the Book until the time of the end. [Then] many shall run to and fro and search anxiously [through the Book], and knowledge [of God’s purposes as revealed by His prophets] shall be increased and become great.

  16. Daniel 2:38-44 (NLT) 38 He has made you the ruler over all the inhabited world and has put even the wild animals and birds under your control. You are the head of gold. 39 “But after your kingdom comes to an end, another kingdom, inferior to yours, will rise to take your place. After that kingdom has fallen, yet a third kingdom, represented by bronze, will rise to rule the world.

  17. Daniel 2:38-44 (NLT) 40 Following that kingdom, there will be a fourth one, as strong as iron. That kingdom will smash and crush all previous empires, just as iron smashes and crushes everything it strikes

  18. Daniel 2:38-44 (NLT) 41 The feet and toes you saw were a combination of iron and baked clay, showing that this kingdom will be divided. Like iron mixed with clay, it will have some of the strength of iron. 42 But while some parts of it will be as strong as iron, other parts will be as weak as clay.

  19. Daniel 2:38-44 (NLT) 43 This mixture of iron and clay also shows that these kingdoms will try to strengthen themselves by forming allianceswith each other through intermarriage. But they will not hold together, just as iron and clay do not mix.

  20. Daniel 2:38-44 (NLT) 44 “During the reigns of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed or conquered. It will crush all these kingdoms into nothingness, and it will stand forever.

  21. Genesis 1 (KJV) 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

  22. Genesis 1 (KJV) • Subdue – kabash - to make subject to • Dominion – radah - to rule, have dominion, dominate

  23. Government Genesis 1:28 (NLT) Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over…”

  24. The Fall of Man & The Original Sin • Man was to govern the earth from the rule of God over his life • The Law or rule of God over Adam’s life established

  25. The Fall of Man & The Original Sin Genesis 2:15-17 (NLT) 15 The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. 16But the Lord God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden— 17except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.”

  26. The Fall of Man & The Original Sin • Satan’s hatred for God • used God’s word - twisted - to tempt mankind to rebel against God • Lust of the Flesh, Lust of the Eye, and the Pride of Life

  27. The Fall of Man & The Original Sin Genesis 3:6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.

  28. Genesis 3 (NIV) 21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. 22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 

  29. Matthew 4 (NKJV) 8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”

  30. Matthew 28 18And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

  31. Romans 5 12 When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam's sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone … 21 So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God's wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

  32. 1 Corinthians 15:12-21 12When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam's sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. 13Yes, people sinned even before the law was given. But it was not counted as sin because there was not yet any law to break.

  33. 1 Corinthians 15:12-21 14 Still, everyone died-from the time of Adam to the time of Moses-even those who did not disobey an explicit commandment of God, as Adam did. Now Adam is a symbol, a representation of Christ, who was yet to come.

  34. 1 Corinthians 15:12-21 15 But there is a great difference between Adam's sin and God's gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God's wonderful grace and his gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ.

  35. 1 Corinthians 15:12-21 16 And the result of God's gracious gift is very different from the result of that one man's sin. For Adam's sin led to condemnation, but God's free gift leads to our being made right with God, even though we are guilty of many sins.

  36. 1 Corinthians 15:12-21 17 For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God's wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ. 18 Yes, Adam's one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but Christ's one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for everyone.

  37. 1 Corinthians 15:12-21 19 Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous. 20 God's law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God's wonderful grace became more abundant.

  38. 1 Corinthians 15:12-21 21 So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God's wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

  39. ONE WORLD ORDER • Adam to Noah • Noah’s grandson Nimrod Gen.10 (Kingdom of Babel) • Gen.11 Building a City with a tower • Scattering

  40. ONE WORLD ORDER • The next chapter recounts how all of the kingdoms and peoples of the world were dispersed from the Tower of Babel erected in his city. As all of the 70 nations are scattered, Genesis 12 describes how the Lord selected out one man from among them to establish his covenant: Abraham.

  41. TOWER BABEL

  42. Chad Ashby • So, in 2 Kings 24-25, when King Nebuchadnezzar burned down the House of the Lord and the house of the king and all the houses in Jerusalem and carried all of Abraham’s offspring into exile in Babylon, it was a return to Genesis 10. The exile was kind of the Lord’s way of saying, “From whence it came.”

  43. Chad Ashby The Lord returns his people to the fount of the nations – to Babel – not because he has failed to keep his promise to Abraham, but in order that he might keep his promise through the true offspring: Jesus Christ.. At Babel, we have the beginning of the kingdom of this world. Headed by Nimrod, Babel becomes the archetype of every earthly kingdom to follow. Here was their haughty objective:

  44. Chad Ashby Genesis 11:4 “Then they said, ‘Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.'”

  45. Chad Ashby • Babel, the kingdom of earth, is hell-bent on de-throning the God of the universe. It is a kingdom of pride, self-sufficiency, and defiance to the Creator. • Fast-forward several millenia, and we find the city of Babel relatively unchanged. King Nebuchadnezzar surveys the city, and in his pride and pomp he marvels at his own glory:

  46. Chad Ashby Daniel 4:29-30 “At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, and the king answered and said, ‘Is not this great Babylon, which I have built by my mighty power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty?'”

  47. Chad Ashby So, when we turn to the final book of the Bible, it makes sense why John the Revelator personifies the Kingdom of Earth as the great whore Babylon. This city embodies the boastful, wicked pride of man:

  48. Chad Ashby Revelation 17:4-5 “The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: ‘Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations.’”

  49. Chad Ashby • You see, the Bible begins and ends with the toppling of this wicked city. Every man toiling away in the city of Babel trying to loft himself into the heavens in defiance of the Lord will be scattered (Genesis 11:8). Every proud Nebuchadnezzar will be humiliated like a beast of the field (Daniel 4:31-33). Every kingdom that breeds immorality and feasts on the saints of God will be eternally destroyed (Revelation 18:2).
