Truth Project: The Final Kingdom in Nebuchadnezzar's Dream

Welcome letter Saturday with Dr. Cheryl 2020. Many are praying for new year of peace and prosperity same time, in hopes that the civil and political new year.

Dr. Davis in today's teaching from the book of Daniel expounds on how history 2500 years ago is now playing a major role in shaping our future.

As nations die a new superpower will emerge on earth, bringing us fatally close to the end of this age will be the final kingdom in Nebuchadnezzar's dream that is made of iron and clay, this kingdom will be led by Satan himself and made up from a Confederacy of nations from the Roman Empire bent on the complete eternal devastation of the state of Israel. The annihilation of the tribulation saints and using every possible means an opportunity to profane and desecrate the holy name of Jesus Christ dear Dr. Cheryl Davis, a changing world. Time to make up your mind if you heard anything else in this teaching. Some of you may not be interested in history at a lot of this is already come to pass.

I think you can look at the statue and that we are living on the threshold of the end of the age. I firmly believe that this statue is a message to Daniel as well as Nebuchadnezzar showing us the world's history.

We have already seen those for Confederacy scum and wasting them go until we are at the point of the clay in the iron which we have not seen we are living on the threshold of the end of the age.

There's an interesting part of this dream.

It's not just the statue, but I like to focus on the stone for just a few minutes, and Daniel 235 then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found in the stone that struck damage brought a great mountain and feel the whole earth, and 44 and 45 it says, and in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, and the kingdom shall not be left to other people.

It shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this dream is certain in its interpretation is sure is that the stone is cut out of the mountain without man's hands on strikes the statue and the mountain covers the entire earth. This is the Lord Jesus coming in his glory to destroy all world governments and like a mountain feel the whole earth who is the stone in a Jesus is referred to as a stone and a number of parts of the Bible. He is described as the smitten stone and number of places in one of the spaces is Exodus 17 536 and the Lord said to Moses, go on before the people and take with you some of the elders of Israel also taking your hand. Your rod with which he struck the river and go, behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb and you shall strike the rock and water will come out of it that the people may drink. Moses did so in the side of the elders of Israel. This is the foreshadowing of Jesus being the smitten stone in the Holy Spirit coming forward in the church age. In first Corinthians 10 three and four.

The Bible says and I'll drink the same spiritual drink, for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them and that rock was Jesus Christ. Jesus is also known as the stumbling stone. In Romans nine and 33 and it is written, behold, I lay in Zion, a stomach stone and rock of offense, and whoever believes on him will not be put to shame.

Isaiah 814 also describes Jesus as the stomach stone. He will be a sanctuary but a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel as a trap and snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and Isaiah 28 and 16.

Behold, thus says the Lord God, behold, I lay in Zion a stone for foundation a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation. Whoever believes will not act hastily is also known as a special stone. The cornerstone which is the stone in which the structure is dictated by his kingdom is supernatural. It's not cut by man's hand and his kingdom is sudden. The striking blow to the statute, how the statue is built is gradual and is built on each other, but the statue is destroyed very suddenly which is the sudden coming of the second coming of Jesus Christ. I would like to spend some time on the second coming of Jesus Christ. The second coming of Jesus Christ will occur in two phases.

The first being the rapture the rapture of the church will remove all believers before the tribulation will come suddenly and currently there are no more prophecies that need to be fulfilled before the rapture occurs. As I said before, we are living on the threshold of the end of the age of first Thessalonians 416 through 17 for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel with the trumpet of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.

And thus we shall be with the Lord there only two things that have to happen first.

The shout and then the trumpet and then we are immediately translated after the rapture will be the tribulation for seven and half years, but after that seven and half your time. The second advent will occur. There will be seven years of tribulation.

Then at the end all believers with Christ will return to set up his kingdom on earth. In Matthew 2430 then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. This is the sign in the second coming of Christ and those that will mourn will see that he, Israel, and that is the truth and that will lead them to morning because they have not chosen to be obedient to God and Malachi 414 behold, the days coming, burning like an oven, and all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble in the day which is coming shall burn them up, says the Lord of hosts that will leave them neither root nor branches.

The millennial kingdom will last 1000 years and that will be a period of mandatory righteousness where the earth will be regenerated in Psalm 72. 11 yes all king shall fall down before him, all nations shall serve him where mandatory righteousness will occur and this will be Jesus's kingdom will there be no free will, and his subjects only hope for everlasting peace in this important point that I've missed a large part of my life and learn this in a study recently that after the rapture. There will be no second chance for those who have heard the word of God and rejected Christ.

This is a very important point because I think a lot of people are banking that when the rapture comes then I'll believe that it's real now get saved during the tribulation, but in second Thessalonians chapter 292 10. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan without power signs and lying wonders with all unrighteous deception among those who perished because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. That's really speaking to us. Now we know that we are on the ease of the end of the age and there are number of sinners that have turned a deaf ear to the word of God and turned a deaf ear to the truth that a backup plan to survive the rapture and get saved. At that point is not gonna be possible because here we see in the word that those of us that are left behind that do not believe in take pleasure in unrighteousness will be turned over to strong delusions and that we will believe a lie. Now is the time to get saved before the rapture. We need to take advantage of it.

Now, as this is the time for the Gentiles to come to Christ and the end of chapter 2 versus 46 to 49, then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face prostrate before Daniel commanded that they should present an offering incense to him. The king answered Daniel and said, truly, your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings in a revealer of secrets. Since you could reveal the secret, then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts and he made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and chief administrator of all the wise men of Babylon, also Daniel petition the king. He said Shadrach me shack and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon, but Daniel sat in the gate the King we see when there is obedience when a man purposes in his heart not to defile God. God rewards him and we see that Nebuchadnezzar also had his first encounter with the true God. He says with his mouth truly your God is the God of God's the Lord of kings in a revealer secrets that she could reveal the secret said he perceives within his mind on some level they God is the God of God's but will say throughout the chapter whether this is a shallow commitment or deep commitment and whether his commitment to God last but nevertheless he promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts.

The Daniel was made ruler of the whole province Babylon, and this is God's remnant in which he is working even within captivity to take care of his people that a Jew who is held captive in Babylon is promoted to be the ruler of the province that because of that favor.

He then petitions Nebuchadnezzar for Shadrach me shack and Abednego to be put over the affairs of Babylon. Furthermore, ensuring that God's plans will go forth and that the Jews will be cared for through captivity so that they can return to their home. There are number of key points that we covered in chapter 2, and I'll go through them. The purpose of the dream of Nebuchadnezzar was to witness the transferring of the world's power from the Jews to the Gentile rulers. The C4 and powers of the world's kingdom and they were given the authority to rule the world. This that she has a lot of meanings on the first one being human government stands on a delicate foundation. Human government is deteriorating.

The statue declined by power of governments God standard for government is the theocracy in which he offered to the Israelites, but they chose to ask for a monarchy in which God gave them what they asked for, but is not what they needed when they did.

That is when they are feature really started going downhill and their moral depravity began when they asked for Saul this that she also shows us that there is a disintegrating family of government in the developing force of government that she go down the statute there's going to be more polar push between the iron in the clay like voice of the people were saying that playing out in our current society today will see more that in future, but the stone that strikes the statue strikes the statue during the clay as well as the iron location at the feet and the stone is not cut out with a man's hands. It is supernatural kingdom that will come in where Christ wins in the end, but most importantly, like I said before that if you do not listen to anything that we said in chapter 2 is to remember that we are on the eve of the end of this age that the rapture could come at any moment and having a backup plan to get saved after the rapture second Thessalonians, tells us that those that enjoy unrighteousness during this time will be given to powerful delusions.

If we reject God and his righteousness. So we are just waiting on the shout and the trumpet, the church is just waiting on the shout in the trumpet when that happens, the dead in Christ is gonna rise than those of us that are alive are going to be called up and will be with Christ, and we see in the end that Daniel is rewarded for his faithfulness and his obedience to God and I'm here to say today that God will do that in our lives.

We need to be people just like Daniel that will purpose in our heart not file her sales of the world to be in the world but not of the world, but to remain obedient and live a righteous life that we can be the mighty God. Jesus will appear in Jerusalem.

And when he does every soul, and earth and heaven will bow before him openly investing that he is Lord. Kings, presidents and prime ministers will surrender their crows to layers their cities generalize their armies in every holdings of earth will pass away, and behold, all things will be made brand-new no longer shall the people of God live in fear or face peerless or hard times as Jesus restores the beauty of earth and destroys the work of Satan will be a new day, a day like we have never known. As we approach this time. It's important that you make the most important decision ever decision to follow Jesus. If you were caught between faith and doubt, not knowing what to do. Dr. Davis would like to help you take that step of faith today and let Jesus come into your life making you into the person he is called you to be if you were caught between faith and doubt.
