Wicked counselor's party platform, policy book

Revelation 7:9: [9] After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

"Here are the people who get through that 'great day of His wrath' and go into the kingdom. It's talking about the Believing Remnant in Israel and they come from every part of the nations out there and God gathers them all back together.

"That's who you see in Nahum 1:7: [7] The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

"That's what you read about in Revelation 7 and Nahum is picking up on what Micah told you--what Revelation ultimately explains.

"There are only three verses in all of Nahum that have any brightness in them and verse 7 is the first one. You've got 6 verses of helter-skelter, wrath, indignation and vengeance and now you got a verse-- 'Oh, there are going to be some Believers.'

"Talking about the kingdom, Verse 15: [15] Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.

"He's talking to Nineveh in Nahum 2:13: [13] Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.

"God's intention is to bring a complete end to the idolatrous system that gives birth to the rebellious nations against His people. In Nahum, you see the Antichrist show up and be a part of that system that comes out of Assyria.

"Just like Obadiah talked about Edom, and the ancient hatred that the tents of the Edomites have against Israel, now He's going to talk about Assyria, and not just that ancient hatred that they had, but the source of it. It goes all the way back to Nimrod.

Nahum 1: [8] But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

"Now you're back in Genesis 1:2. That's God's judgment on rebellion. 

"Talking about Nineveh, Nahum 1:11: [11] There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counseller.

In II Thessalonians 2, Paul says about the son of perdition: [8] And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

"Wicked is that proper name given to the Antichrist. He counsels against the Lord. Daniel 11 says he takes the kingdom by flatteries. In other words, he's got a philosophy that he's putting out.

Daniel 8: [23] And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

[25] And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

"What you have there is the future of Greece and the Greek empire takes over the Media-Persia empire and then the Greek empire is destroyed. Notice that description of the Antichrist as the king of the north:

"He understands dark sayings. He has some wisdom. He knows some things. He's going to attempt to counterfeit God's ability to reveal secrets.

Verse 24: [24] And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

"From Revelation 13 we know he's going to be standing in the power of Satan.

"Notice this guy comes in with a peace policy. He's going to do what Nahum's talking about. He's going to imagine evil against the Lord as a Wicked counselor. He's going to counsel the world about how to bring in peace.

Daniel 11: [21] And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

[22] And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
[23] And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.

"The guy knows how to talk. With good words and fair speeches he deceives people. When it says it's a 'small people,' it's talking about how the Antichrist is that 'little horn'; he isn't going to need thousands of people to take over.

"By the way, you don't need millions of people to take over a nation. Just take over the government. When you have a coup, you just need to have people in strategic points and places.

[24] He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
[25] And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.
[26] Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
[27] And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.

"I love that thing about how 'they shall speak lies at one table.' They're having a counsel; they're having a negotiation and they're lying through their teeth to one another. The way the Antichrist takes over is with a policy book.

"It's funny, the Democrat and Republican parties, during a presidential election, spend millions in their conventions and they draft a party platform. Now nobody that ever gets elected pays any attention to the party platform.

"They don't follow those things, but this guy has a party platform that he's going to put forth and when he gets it across, he's going to do it! And it's a plan of wickedness."
