The Throne in Heaven
4 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne. 4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God. 6 Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.
In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying:
“‘Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty,’
who was, and is, and is to come.”
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.”
Daniel 7
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.”
7 “After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns.
8 “While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully.
9 “As I looked,
“thrones were set in place,
and the Ancient of Days took his seat.
His clothing was as white as snow;
the hair of his head was white like wool.
His throne was flaming with fire,
and its wheels were all ablaze.
10 A river of fire was flowing,
coming out from before him.
Thousands upon thousands attended him;
ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him.
The court was seated,
and the books were opened.
Bible Study Chapter 6 Summary
Audio file summary
Daniel stood amidst the kingdom of Babylon, the sun beating down on the arid landscape of modern-day Iraq. As he gazed upon the remnants of a great civilization, a sense of foreboding crept over him, a whisper of prophecy echoing in his mind. In the distance, the bustling city of Baghdad stood as a stark contrast to the silent ruins we now see. Daniel knew that within these lands, a new kingdom would rise, one that would reshape the world as they knew it. The words of the prophecy weighed heavily on his heart as he pondered the future that lay ahead. He could sense the hand of destiny at play, guiding the course of nations towards a final reckoning. As the sun began its descent towards the horizon, casting long shadows across the desert sands, My thoughts turned to Ismael, the son of Abraham. It was said that from his lineage would emerge a ruler who would ascend to the throne of the final kingdom, a realm forged from the union of Israel and nine surrounding Islamic nations. The idea of Ismael’s descendants ruling over this vast domain filled Daniel with a sense of unease. He knew that their reign would not be one of peace and prosperity, but one of oppression and servitude. The prophecy loomed over me like a specter, its words painting a grim picture of a future wrought with conflict and subjugation. Daniel could feel the weight of history bearing down on him, as if he were but a pawn in a cosmic game played out by forces beyond mortal comprehension. And as I stand there, surrounded by the echoes of ancient empires long gone, I knew that the time for action was drawing near. The seeds of destiny had been sown, and soon they would bear fruit in ways that none could foresee. The Antichrist of Iraq comes in our near future. Daniel saw it thousands of years ago. It affects our generation since Israel was reestablished in 1947. “In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a fierce-looking king, a master of intrigue, will arise. He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will control those who are mighty, the holy people. He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power. My eyes scanned the horizon, a deep furrow forming between my brows as I contemplated the ancient prophecy I had studied for years. The words echoed in my mind like a solemn warning, a harbinger of dark times to come. I could sense the shadow of the Antichrist looming over the land, a figure shrouded in mystery and deceit, destined to rise to power in the latter days. As I stood amidst the ruins of Babylon, the weight of the prophecy pressed down on me like a heavy stone, filling me with a sense of urgency. The events of recent history flashed before my eyes, the reestablishment of Israel in 1947 signaling the beginning of a new chapter in the unfolding saga. The pieces were falling into place, the stage set for the arrival of the fierce-looking king who would bring devastation and destruction in his wake. My heart clenched with dread as I thought of the holy people who would suffer at the hands of this master of intrigue. The Antichrist’s power would be formidable, his deeds astounding in their scope and cruelty. I could almost see the future unfolding before me, a dark tapestry woven with deceit and betrayal. The Antichrist would rise to heights of power, considering himself superior to all others. And in his arrogance, he would unleash untold horrors upon the world, taking his stand against even the Prince of princes. As I pondered these chilling words, a sense of urgency gripped me. The time was drawing near, the final confrontation between light and darkness looming on the horizon. The fate of nations hung in the balance, their destinies intertwined in ways that few could comprehend. With a heavy heart, I knew that I must prepare for the coming storm. Revelation Chapter 6The Antichrist The prophecy had spoken, and its words would not be denied. The Antichrist was coming, and with him, a reckoning that would shake the very foundations of the world. The man of peace would end nuclear war for the middle east. He wants to rule all nations but God forces him to invade Syria and Iraq causing world war three. My heart raced as he delved deeper into the prophecy, my mind grappling with the weight of the words. The man of peace, a figure shrouded in deception, was destined to rise in the midst of chaos and bring an end to nuclear war in the Middle East. The thought sent a shiver down my spine, knowing that such a man would hold the fate of nations in his hands. As I continued to study the ancient text, a sense of dread settled over me. The man of peace harbored ambitions far beyond his facade of harmony and unity. His desire to rule all nations was a thirst for power that would not be quenched by mere diplomacy. But the hand of God, it seemed, had other plans. The man of peace would be forced to show his true colors, compelled by divine intervention to invade Syria and Iraq. The consequences of his actions would be catastrophic, plunging the world into the chaos of World War Three. My breath caught in my throat as I contemplated the unfolding events. The prophecy was coming to pass before my very eyes, its words a chilling reminder of the inexorable march towards destruction. The realization hit me like a thunderbolt. The man of peace, once heralded as a savior, would now be the harbinger of devastation on a global scale. As the pieces of the puzzle fell into place, I knew that the time for action was at hand. With a heavy heart, I understood that the path ahead was fraught with peril. The world stood on the brink of annihilation, caught in the grip of forces beyond mortal comprehension. And as I looked out upon the horizon, I knew that the storm was coming, unstoppable and unforgiving.
