Prophetic Psalm 16
Dennis Edwards
The following Psalm of
David seems more applicable to the Messiah than to David who received it.
Apostle Peter in his epistle mentions that many times the prophets didn’t
understand the full depth of what they were receiving from the Lord.
1 Peter 1:10-13 “Of which
salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of
the grace that should come unto you:11 Searching what,
or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when
it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should
follow.
12 “Unto
whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister
the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the
gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the
angels desire to look into. 13 Wherefore gird up the
loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be
brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
Both Apostle Peter and Apostle Paul use parts of the following
Psalm in their witnessing and defence of the Gospel that Jesus is Lord and the
Messiah to which the Jewish people had longed for. The Jewish people believed
the Old Testament was the word of God, therefore, it was an acceptable
authority to use when sharing the Gospel.
Acts 2:22-36 “Ye men of Israel, hear
these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and
wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves
also know: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate
counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have
crucified and slain: 24 Whom God hath raised up, having
loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden
of it.
25”For David speaks
concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my
right hand, that I should not be moved:26 Therefore did
my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in
hope: 27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell,
neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 28 Thou
hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy
countenance. (Psalm 16:8-11 Septuagint)
29 “Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; 31 He seeing this before spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
32 “This
Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. 33 Therefore
being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the
promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
34 “For
David is not ascended into the heavens: but he said himself, The Lord said
unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 35 Until I make
thy foes thy footstool. (Psalm 110:1) 36 Therefore
let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus,
whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
Apostle Peter quotes from both Psalm 16 and Psalm 110
in making his claim that Jesus is the fulfilment of David’s prophetic words
which David could not have been speaking about himself.
Apostle Paul makes a similar defence quoting from Psalm 2
and Psalm 16.
Acts 13:26-41 “Men and brethren,
children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fears God, to you is
the word of this salvation sent. 27 For they that dwell
at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices
of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in
condemning him.
28 “And
though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he
should be slain.29 And when they had fulfilled all that
was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a
sepulchre.
30 “But God
raised him from the dead: 31 And he was seen many days
of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses
unto the people.32 And we declare unto you glad tidings,
how that the promise which was made unto the fathers, 33 God
hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus
again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day
have I begotten thee. (Psalm 2:7)
34 “And as
concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to
corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David. (Isaiah
55:3) 35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou
shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Psalm 16:10)
36 “For
David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on
sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: 37 But
he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. 38 Be it
known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached
unto you the forgiveness of sins: 39 And by him all that
believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by
the law of Moses. 40 Beware therefore, lest that come
upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 “Behold,
ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work
which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declares it unto you.”
As we read the Psalm, we can read it as though the Holy Spirit is
speaking through David, and the words are a prayer of David, or, we can read it
as a prayer of the Son of Man.
Psalm 16:1 “Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.”
Both David and Jesus put
their trust in God, and we must, too.
Psalm 16:2 “O my
soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou
art my Lord: my goodness extends not to thee.”
In the above prayer, if we look at it as if Jesus is praying it,
He is saying, “God the Father, nothing can be added to Your goodness.” Jesus
Himself emptied Himself of His Divinity to suffer the death of a sinner as we
read in the New Testament.
Philippians 2:6-8 “Who,
being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But
made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was
made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in
fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the
death of the cross.”
Psalm 16:3 “But to the saints that
are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.”
Jesus extends His righteousness to those that believe and obey
Him, “the saints and the excellent,” in other words, the true believers.
John 1:12 “But as many as receive Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His word.”
2Corinthians 5:21 “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be
made the righteousness of God in him.”
Psalm 16:4 “Their sorrows shall be
multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I
not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.”
Those seeking other gods only end with sorrows as Apostle Paul
writes to Timothy.
1 Timothy 6:9-11 “But they that will be
rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts,
which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the
love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they
have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 11 But
thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness,
godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.”
Psalm 16:5 “The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: You maintain my lot.”
For those who follow Christ closely, our inheritance is not
earthly, but heavenly. Jesus Himself being an example of one who followed hard
after God and kept the Heavenly vision.
Matthew 26:39 “And he
went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father,
if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but
as thou wilt.”
Hebrews 12:2-3 “Looking
unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set
before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right
hand of the throne of God. For consider Him that endured such contradiction of
sinner against Himself, lest ye be weary and faint in your minds.”
Psalm 16:6 “The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.”
God even blesses his servants here on earth and promises them
houses, and lands, and brothers, and sisters.
Mark 10:29-30 “And Jesus answered and
said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren,
or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake,
and the gospel's, 30 But he shall receive an hundredfold
now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children,
and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.”
1 Corinthians 2:9 “But as
it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the
heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
Psalm 16:7 “I will bless the Lord, who has given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.”
God instructs us in our sleep if we are seeking Him and His will
in our lives. We see that Jesus got up early to spend time with His father.
Before major decisions and events, he spent the night in desperate prayer.
Mark 1:35 “And in
the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into
a solitary place, and there prayed.”
Luke 6:12-13 “And it came to pass in
those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night
in prayer to God. 13 And when it was day, he called unto
him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles.”
Matthew 26:36 “Then
comes Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and says unto the
disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.”
The following verses are the ones used by both Peter and Paul in
their defence of Jesus being the Messiah, and spoken of by the prophets and by
David.
Psalm 16:8-10 “I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope. 10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.”
David did see corruption; therefore, he is not speaking of
himself, but of the Messiah who was to come, prophesized by the “voice of the
Lord,” who walked with Adam and Eve in the garden.
Genesis 3:15 “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman,
and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt
bruise his heel.”
Job, the oldest book in the Bible, written around the time of
Abraham or around 2,000 BC, talks of the promised Messiah or Redeemer.
Job 19:25-27 “For I know that my Redeemer
lives, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: 26 And
though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: 27 Whom
I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my
reins be consumed within me.”
Psalm 16:11 “Thou wilt shew me the
path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are
pleasures for evermore.”
Jesus, seeing the joy that was set before Him, endured the cross,
and so should we.
Hebrews 5:7-9 “Who in the days of his
flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and
tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he
feared; 8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience
by the things which he suffered; 9 And being made
perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey
him.”
John 16:33 “These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer, (be encouraged); I have overcome the world.”

DESPERATE PRAYER
1975-10-01
When do you really pray, when you really pour out your heart to the Lord and speak in tongues? There should be some time when you really get “in the Spirit.” When do you really get in the Spirit? When do you really pour out your heart to the Lord and really get through in the Spirit?
It’s very important. It’s very good for your soul. It’s good for your spirit. It’s good for your spiritual condition to know that you have really poured out your heart to the Lord with a whole soul, with all your heart, with all your might.
You ought to really get down to business with God! There should be times when you really cry out to the Lord and really pray and seek the Lord and really pray in the Spirit with strong crying and tongues and tears and really call upon the Lord with a whole heart. He says then He’ll answer you (Jeremiah 29:13).
All of our little prayers are well and good, and the Lord hears them and He knows they’re sincere and we mean them, and He answers accordingly. But there are times when you should really, really get desperate with the Lord in prayer about certain things and certain people.
When was the last time you really poured out your heart in prayer with strong crying and tongues and tears to the Lord?
Does the Lord have to allow some trouble to happen in order to get you to really pray, to get you to really get serious with Him? The Lord wants us to be happy, and we usually are. But there should be times when you are not satisfied with just the usual run of things, when you really, really seek the Lord for a needed change and really pray, pouring out your heart to the Lord. When do you do that? What’s the last time you did that? What was it about? How long’s it been since you prayed like that? Do you ever pray like that?
Well I’ll tell you, brethren, this movement was born in prayer, crying out to God, weeping in tongues and prophecy. What’s the last time you had a prophecy? What’s the last time you had a message in tongues with interpretation? With all this praying, the Spirit ought to be answering! You ought to be getting answers in the spirit now!
When do you get really concerned and really pray?—Really concerned about your children, about your friends and contacts, and you really pray in the Spirit? The Scripture says that the Lord says, “No man moveth himself to call upon Me” (Isaiah 64:7). If you’re not really moved when you pray, I wonder sometimes how far it gets.
He says, “In the day that you call upon Me with a whole heart, I will answer thee” (Jeremiah 29:13). Our little prayers are sincere and we mean them, but we also need to really get desperate in prayer about a serious situation or anything that needs it.
I’ll tell you, wholehearted to me means getting in the spirit, speaking and praying in tongues and crying out to the Lord with strong crying and tears, and I weep and I agonize in prayer. Sometimes it costs two or three hours of sleep, but out of those sessions we have gotten some wonderful things from the Lord.
There’s no reason why you can’t be having such fellowship in the spirit and with the Lord, and getting things from the Lord. And you should! Or God may have to let something happen that will make you get desperate and really pray.
What does God have to do to make you get desperate?

An Attempt to Assassinate Trump
Dennis Edwards: A message from a friend.
As has been publically pointed out, this assassination attempt -- apparently not by the Deep Staters directly: too badly done -- could very well be due the MSM narrative that The Don is an 'existential threat' to democracy & the nation itself.
The Demoncrat Party therefore quickly said it would stop its latest $50M TV ad blitz saying that kind of stuff.
However, it doesn't seem unlikely that, one way or another, he will be killed.(Don't take any planes, Donnie!) Altho he has strongly disavowed the radical (but excellent) "Project 2025" by the _Heritage Foundation_, his platform, known as "Agenda47" has a lot of similarities, & would set back the Globalists' plan by centuries.

Who is the Islamic ANTI CHRIST? shocking BY:John Macarthur
Dennis Edwards: John Macarthur looks at Muslim end-time prophecy and finds it in opposition to the Biblical narrative! The Mahdi is really the Antichrist. The Muslim Jesus who helps the Mahdi is the False Prophet of the Bible. And the False Christ is actually the real Jesus coming to defeat the Mahdi (the Antichrist) and the False Prophet or Muslim Jesus

Is This The End Of Jordan Peterson?
Dennis Edwards: Jordan needs Jesus' transforming power. He needs to fall at Jesus' feet. He needs an infilling of the Holy Ghost. He cannot do it in his own power. He needs the power of God in full force to continue and move forward and fight for truth. In his own strength, he is not strong enough,. However, if he goes to Christ, Jesus can empower him and give him strength for the battle.
Summit for the Future - The UN´s Global Summit for Good or for Evil?
https://www.un.org/en/summit-of-the-future
HOW THE UN’S SUMMIT OF THE FUTURE COULD BE A TURNING POINT FOR GLOBAL DIPLOMACY
BLOGEMERGING ISSUESHOW THE UN’S SUMMIT OF THE FUTURE COULD BE A TURNING POINT FOR GLOBAL DIPLOMACY
In September 2024, world leaders will gather at UN headquarters in New York for the Summit of the Future, which aims to “forge a new global consensus on what our future should look like.” Source: OpenAI’s ChatGPT Image Generator
As part of a monumental effort to reset global cooperation, the United Nations will host hundreds of world leaders, policymakers, experts, and advocates in September at the Summit of the Future. The ultimate goal: To rethink what multilateralism means in a rapidly changing world. Drawing on a new paper he co-authored, UN Foundation Senior Fellow David Steven outlines why — and how — to seize this moment to engage everyday citizens at the UN and beyond.
Choose a country — any country — and you will likely find the same trends: Trust in public institutions is plummeting, wealth inequality is on the rise, and societies are increasingly polarized.
If nothing else, citizens of the world are united behind one grim truth: The status quo is failing us all.
That’s why the stakes for the UN’s Summit of the Future are high. Simultaneously hailed as a once-in-a-generation opportunity and criticized for being the right summit at the wrong time, this high-level event in New York City is expected to produce not one, but three international frameworks: the Pact for the Future (currently available as a zero draft), the Global Digital Compact, and the Declaration on Future Generations.
The multilateral system is no longer fit to meet today’s complex, interconnected, and rapidly changing world. One solution, argues UN Foundation David Steven and his co-authors, is to more effectively harness the experience and expertise of everyday citizens in global decision-making. Source: OpenAI’s ChatGPT Image Generator
But what can the Summit deliver that will continue to resonate in five to 10 years? Some transformational proposals can easily be spotted in the working texts of each document. For example, the Emergency Platform, if approved, is likely to play a central role when triggered by the next global shock on the magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic or the 2008 economic meltdown.
Other promising developments are more subtle, such as the opportunity to use the Summit as a platform for deepening the engagement of citizens in international cooperation. In its current draft, the Pact for the Future is less ambitious on this topic than the 2030 Agenda or the declaration that marked the UN’s 75th anniversary in 2020.
But as I, along with my co-authors, argue in a new challenge paper, Strengthening Citizen Participation in Global Governance, launched in partnership with Blue Smoke Alliance, the Iswe Foundation, Plataforma CIPÓ, and Southern Voice, there is still time for this to be fixed:
"The zero draft of the Pact promises 'a new beginning in international cooperation,' based on a foundation of renewed trust between people and the institutions that represent them.
But in a Pact that promises concrete action, there are as yet few practical commitments to increasing engagement. As negotiations continue, member states should take the opportunity provided by the Summit to support and invest in frameworks that take the active participation of citizens onto a new level.
Looking beyond the Summit, the UN’s 80th anniversary, the World Social Summit, the selection of the next Secretary-General, and the replacement of the 2030 Agenda present opportunities to entrench participation."
WE THE PEOPLES 2.0
Citizen engagement is not a new concern for the multilateral system. As its Charter proclaims, the UN was launched in the name of “We the Peoples” and made early attempts to understand what citizens needed from the new institution in the aftermath of World War II. The UN was also ahead of its time in the way it communicated with people about its role as a platform for global cooperation.
More recently, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were informed by a “global conversation” with over 1 million people, while the 75th anniversary of the UN (dubbed UN75) also explored what people want the international system to deliver.
This translated into commitments to engage citizens more effectively within the UN. In the 2030 Agenda, world leaders declared that the SDGs would be successful only if they were “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” They also promised to debate implementation of the UN75 commitments with their citizens as part of a more inclusive approach to multilateralism.
With half the world’s population under the age of 30, leaders have been especially keen to emphasize listening to and working with young people — inviting them, in the words of the 2030 Agenda, to “channel their infinite capacities for activism into the creation of a better world.”
AVOIDING THE SEVEN SINS OF CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT
Unfortunately, citizen engagement is often poorly executed. In the challenge paper, we explore what happens when the international system reaches out to people in an ad hoc and unstrategic way, identifying what we call the seven sins of citizen participation. Engaging in tokenistic practices, asking questions that are too broad, not giving people a chance to deliberate, and resorting to “benign manipulation” that can push a process toward a preordained end are some of the most common missteps that undermine effective citizen engagement.
Seven common pitfalls for civic participation include tokenism, lack of accountability, and inflated expectations. Source: Strengthening Citizen Participation in Global Governance
We also draw a contrast with the involvement of experts and the private sector. Not only are they engaged far more often (and with more generous budgets), but there has also been impressive institutional innovation to systematize their engagement. Think of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which has enabled scientists from around the world to inform climate policy, or the Global Compact, which Kofi Annan set up for businesses when he was UN Secretary-General.
While the engagement of everyday citizens was written into the UN Charter, global efforts have been sporadic instead of structural, and must be reimagined given the increasingly complex and rapidly changing geopolitical landscape. Source: OpenAI’s ChatGPT Image Generator
At a time of deep crisis and growing polarization, my co-authors and I believe that this is a time for Member States to be similarly ambitious in making people partners in the international system. As our challenge paper argues, structures to deepen engagement can build trust as well as inform more farsighted decision-making.
The paper recommends ways in which the international system can get the basics right by using polling more strategically, mobilizing people behind global goals, and enabling a greater diversity of civil society organizations to play a full role in international forums.
But this is also a time for innovation, during a period when a deliberative wave has demonstrated new ways of allowing citizens to address complex challenges. Much of the experimentation has been at national and local levels, but the international system is beginning to catch up.
In an age of growing division, misinformation, and polarization, a new challenge paper recommends informing and engaging global citizens through innovative structural changes to the multilateral system. Source: OpenAI’s ChatGPT Image Generator
Take the first Global Citizens’ Assembly, which was held ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow known as COP26 and brought together citizens from 49 countries selected by a lottery to ensure they were representative of the global population. UN Secretary-General António Guterres hailed this as “a practical way of showing how we can accelerate action through solidarity and people power.”
FROM RHETORIC TO REALITY: ESTABLISHING A GLOBAL CITIZENS’ ASSEMBLY
In the challenge paper, we argue that next time the Secretary-General or his successor brings together a high-level panel or other expert body to advise on policy, he should ask a Global Citizens’ Assembly to explore the same set of questions.
For COP26, the core assembly was supported by discussions in community assemblies around the world. This offers a model for the UN’s 80th anniversary in 2025, building on and improving the global conversation held for UN75, and for the World Social Summit that is also planned for next year.
With time and investment, a permanent deliberative body could be established, providing a sustainable and legitimate voice for citizens in global governance. That is most likely to happen if the Pact for the Future strengthens the UN’s commitment to listening to and working with the world’s citizens — and promises to explore new and effective ways of facilitating engagement.
The Summit of the Future would then be remembered for helping to turn the rhetoric about inclusive multilateralism into reality.
SHAPING THE FUTURE OF MULTILATERALISM
The new challenge paper, Strengthening Citizen Participation in Global Governance, outlines recommendations to make everyday people central to the future of international cooperation while positioning the Summit of the Future as the moment to move beyond piecemeal approaches to civic engagement.
Dennis Edwards: Concerning the Antichrist and his government the Bible says the following.
Daniel 11:21b "He (the Antichrist) shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries."
Daniel 11:23 "And after a league made with him, he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people."
Revelation 17:10-18 "And there are seven kings (seven previous great world empires that ruled over Jerusalem): five are fallen (five previous world governments that ruled over Israel: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medio-Persia, Greece), and one is (Roman was the World power at the time of John's writing), and the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space (the Bible calls it the last 7 years). And the beast (the Antichrist) that was, and is not, even he is the eighth (the Antichrist takes over the World Government formed by the International bankers and rich men, which is the seventh World Government), and is of the seven, and goes into perdition. And the ten horns which thou saw are ten kings (ten important nations that give their power to the Antichrist and help him defeat the Worldwide Commercial Banking System of the seventh World Government), which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb (Jesus and by proxy His followers), and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. (Jesus overcomes the Antichrist at the Battle of Armageddon found in Revelation 19:11-21 and Ezekiel 38-39.) And he said unto me, The waters which thou saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which thou saw upon the beast (the Antichrist and his one-world government with ten principle allies), these shall hate the whore (the world-wide commercial banking system working from USA and Europe), and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire (Will there be a nuclear exchange?). For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast (God is using the Antichrist to chastise those that said they knew and followed God, but didn't.), until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou saw is that great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth."
Revelation 18:23b "For thy merchants (the merchants of Babylon the Whore, the Worldwide Commercial Banking System functioning from USA and Europe) were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries (or Farmakia in the Greek) were all nations deceived." Ultimately the Antichrist and his allies will destroy Babylon in one hour (signifying a very short period of time) by burning her with fire (a possible nuclear exchange).
World government is coming and the United Nations is doing all they can to bring about its existence. Once we have world government, the Antichrist will maneuver his way into power and then defeat and eliminate those he no longer needs. Eventually he breaks the Holy Covenant and set up the abomination in Jerusalem and begins his methodical elimination of all those who refuse to accept the mandatory Mark of the Beast and who refuse to worship his image. After the rapture, the Antichrist is defeated by Jesus' supernatural return at the end of the Wrath of God, that 75 days between the Rapture and the entering into the Millennium period which we have seen above in Revelation 19.
Is the Global Pact which is talked about in the above article referring to the Peace Pact or Holy Covenant of Bible Prophecy?
Daniel 9:27 "And he (the Antichrist) shall confirm the covenant (or pact) with many for one week (a seven-year Biblical reference): and in the midst of the week (half way through the seven-year period) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation (prayers) to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate..."
Daniel 11:30-31 "For the ships of Chittim (Cyprus where USA has naval base) shall come against him, therefore he shall be grieved and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant (that let the Jews begin sacrificial worship on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem): so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant (those other nations that are sick of Israel's disobedience to International Law). And arms (military might) shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice (that the covenant gave permission to the Jewish people to perform), and they shall place the abomination that makes desolate."
The placing of the abomination of desolation is the sign Jesus gave as the starting point to the great tribulation.
Matthew 24:15&21 "When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (whosoever reads let him understand)...For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."
The abomination of desolation is placed in the holy place in the midst of the last seven-year period by the Antichrist and his forces and sets off the three and one-half years of great tribulation, followed by the rapture, and the 75 days of the wrath of God.
