Daniel 7:23-28
"He gave me this explanation: 'The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time. " 'But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever. Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be handed over to the saints, the people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him.' "This is the end of the matter. I, Daniel, was deeply troubled by my thoughts, and my face turned pale, but I kept the matter to myself."
No matter who you think you are on this Earth, there will come a day your power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever when God's court in heaven sits. Many of us do not know this truth. We might think to ourselves what God is waiting for. Why don't the court just sit now and get everything over with. Isn't there so much injustice already? Isn't this the cause for everyone to get restlessly sinning more and more. Isn't there enough increase of sin and wickedness? Must we see more? Aren't evildoers justifying their evil actions and finding reasons to sin more and more? Oppression is the word. They justify their reasons to oppress the poor. The LORD knows this will happen in the last days. Actually everything stems from greed for more. When you already have and you want more, what do you call it besides 'greed'. When you covet for what others have, you call it covetousness. We think that these two sins are seriously affecting society today. The root of all sins is these two sins The confusion is that they justify their greed and covetousness in the name of God. They are still considered 'righteous' if they do these things. God knows this situation well. It proceeds out of the sinful nature of the Devil in man. Do you know that the Devil still tries to justify his actions even though he is already condemned with no return to God? That's how the children of the Devil will be too. The many little antichrists who exists today will eventually bring on the Antichrist. The Antichrist will have the support of the many little antichrists to rule for a while. We all know how it will come to a drastic end. People who keep boasting in their own physical, material, and intellectual strength will suddenly be no more. When they keep boasting about who they are and what they can do and how powerful they have become the LORD is listening in. He knows what is happening but He has the right time to serve His justice on Earth. Remember, Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, Herod and the like we have been witnessing throughout each generation. He allows them to rule for a short time while He is working out for them their eternal punishment. If you do any form of evil, you have no excuse to escape from that punishment.
1 Peter 3:12
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
