Looking at Laos

14/3/2014

Looking over the Mekong River from Thailand to Laos is interesting. It's particularly interesting when you consider a Church that is persecuted over there just for sharing their faith in Jesus.

It makes me wonder about how much we take for granted in NZ when it comes to our faith. People in Laos are put in prison, persecuted...and worse, just for sharing their faith. We moan about the secularisation of NZ but barely give a thought to the fact that the worst we may face for sharing our faith is a cringing face or disapproving response - thats hardly in the same league as persecution is it?

And yet, are we taking every (any?) opportunity to proclaim the Gospel? Are we taking the great commission seriously? Are we sharing our faith in Jesus with all this opportunity that we live with everyday? Or, are we just going to leave that painful task for the Laos people - the persecuted Church?

Something to think about.

Time is Short!!
================
Daniel had a vision of a statue with each part of the statue representing the kingdom that were to come and the material that was abundant in it i.e. Gold for Babylon, Iron for Rome. The last kingdom that will come before God's 1000 year kingdom is established on the Earth is the kingdom of the 10 toes that are a mixture of people and are represented by Iron and clay. This iron and clay represents our modern society in that iron and clay is the common building material that our modern world is built on. This iron and clay mixture is better known as reinforced concrete which is a clay like material poured over iron bars that sets hard.
Daniel then gives us a deeper understanding of this kingdom by his vision of the 4 END time beast (not kingdoms that have come and gone) representing this kingdom. He tells us that the 4th beast kingdom will consume the world and once that 4th beast kingdom is gone the other 3 beasts will still be around for a while longer i.e. those first 3 beasts are part of the 4th which will disappear.
The kingdom that consumes our modern world of iron and clay is the UN and the UN is run by the UN Security Council which is made up of 10 different nations (a mixture of people). During the reign of these 10 kings a rock will come from Heaven and destroy that kingdom and later God's kingdom will be established on the restored Earth for 1000 years(Revelation) populated by those that have been saved from that destruction i.e. the raptured.
Looking at the other 3 end time beast kingdoms we have: The Lion (England) who has its Eagle (US) wings ripped off (War of independents) and later a lion beast man (AC) will come. The second beast is a Bear(Russia) And the 3rd Beast is a 4 head leopard with 2 sets of wings which represents the 6 countries that formed the EEC which grew into the EU which is still run by 4 heads/presidents and is represented by France on the UN security council.
Revelation tells us that the end time beast will have 7 heads and 10 horns ridden by a Woman with a cup. From Daniel vision we have 6 of the 7 heads, Revelation tells us the identity of the 7th head which is the Dragon (China) who waits for that Beast to come from the sea (of people) and gives its power to it and joins it. These 7 heads make up 4 of the 5 permanent members of the UN Security Council who have the real power in the UN Security Council. The 10 horns represent the 10 non-permanent member nations, the 5 that are on the UN Security Council and the 5 that are in training that will replace those serving after a year.
The Woman that holds the cup and rides the UN 7 headed Beast with the 10 horns is the US, the 5th and most powerful permanent member of the UN security council who is represented by this Woman with the cup representing the Statue of Liberty located in New York who rides the UN Beast which is housed also in New York city, Revelation tells us this city rules over the kings of the Earth as the UN headquarters is located there. Revelation tells us that the UN will hate the US and burn this city with fire in one hour, the destruction of the rest of the US occurs later.
Daniel tells us that a Goat with a prominent horn will fly from the West and break the horns of the Ram, first the smaller horn representing Media present day Iraq which has happened and later the larger horn Persia present day Iran which will happen. We are told this Goat represents the Greek kingdom, which were nation states that joined together rule by a Greek political system called Democracy. To be a part of the UN a nation has to be a Democracy, this Goat also represents the UN.
The UN is another Greek kingdom and John told us this kingdom would reemerge. John was living in the time of the Roman Empire which came after the Greek Empire and he said the Beast that was, is not and will come again. After Iran is defeat by the Goat with the prominent horn (representing the major military power in the world which is the US), that horn will be broken off the UN Beast, the US is destroyed and the other 4 little horns representing the other 4 permanent members will lead the UN which are Russia, China, England and the EU represented by France. Daniel tells us that the AC little horn will come off one of the main horns and we are told that from the Lion comes the Lion Beast man.
Daniel tells us that when the little horn (AC) comes into power 3 of the 10 horns of this last kingdom (UN Security Council) will be removed. We know that the US will be one, and Revelation tells us later that the AC will be attacked from the North and the East so it seems that the other 2 will be Russia and China.
Revelation tells us that this end time beast will have a lion's mouth and that the number of the Beast is the number of a man, pointing again to the Lion Beast man of Daniel.
Many kingdoms have come and gone but these kingdoms are the last ones before God’s kingdom comes on the Earth as there is no more time before J
