My
Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 17:12
Before
Jesus was crucified He told the disciples to watch and pray,
something so simple, but they let their physical bodies take over and
they fell back asleep. In these last hours of time you need to hear
His voice. When He tells you something, it is very important, but
most ignore my voice or just discuss it and go on with what they were
doing. You will see many things start to happen shortly and if you do
not hear and obey His voice,... it will mean death for some of
you....Jesus has only your best interest in mind. Christ knows you
heart, and if you are truly His you will hear His voice. He awakes
many of you at 3am on the dot, but most will roll over and go back to
sleep. There are a few who will get up and pray. Your day is filled
with so many things and Jesus is the last thing many of you give your
time to. But Christ needs to talk to you,... to fellowship with you
and only when you are still and quite (3am) can you hear Him,... the
rest of your day is so busy you do not have time for Him,... but you
need to make time, for time is short and the Lord has instructions
for you.
Revelation
17
And
the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no
kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
Rev 17:12
are
ten kings... (see 12:3; 13:1; compare Dan. 2:41-42). These kings are
sub-rulers under the Antichrist, whose empire will apparently be
divided into 10 administrative districts.
Here
we see that ten separate countries make up this evil group.Reading (in Daniel 2:45), the ten toes of the fourth beast (Roman Empire), were made of iron and miry clay making a brittle substance. This is speaking of the 10 kingdoms or kings which will emanate from the Roman Empire and be in existence at the time of Christ's return. Their worldwide power will come in association with the beast.
This is speaking of the reforming of the old Roman Empire. Presently the old Roman Empire has been reformed by ten common market nations in Europe today. There are more currently, but only 10 will come to prominence during the end time. In my opinion, these "ten horns" are those ten common market nations. The headquarters for these ten nations is in Rome.
These
rulers of a ten-nation federation will unite to give their political
authority and military power to the beast to conquer the earth and
make war against Christ (16:14; 19:19). The purpose of Satan through
the Beast and fellow kings is to establish an invincible kingdom that
Christ cannot overcome when He returns. But Christ is King of all
kings, and will overcome the beast and his kingdom when He returns
(19:11-21). Those who follow Christ are called and chosen by Him, and
faithful to Him (19:7-8, 14).
no
kingdom as...
No kingdom in John’s day, but will receive kingdoms when the 10 are
formed inside the Roman Empire territory in the last days. The kings
will rule for 3 1/2 years independent of Antichrist and then give
their power to him the last 3 1/2 years of this age (Rev. 17:10-17;
13:5). Thus,
the kings cannot be identified with any historical figures.
At
this point in his career the Beast will have total control of the
world, for he will command ten "kings" who rule the nations
of the earth: The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have
received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour
as kings with the beast.
Rev.
17:12 explains that the 10 horns… are 10 kings. While many
commentators have tried to identify 10 successive kings in the past,
the passage itself indicates that they are contemporaneous kings who
are heads of the countries which will form the original alliance in
the Middle East that will support the future world ruler. They will
receive authority for one hour… as kings along with the beast.
While the 7 heads may be chronologically successive rulers of the
Roman Empire who are singled out as prominent, the 10 horns by
contrast are contemporaneous with each other, and as the text
indicates they will receive political power for a brief time.
