THE ANTICHRIST & HIS GOVERNMENT ARE ALREADY HERE!--Daniel 8:11-19.       ET #49   DO 2184  9/5/85

         1. BOY, I'LL TELL YOU, EVERY TIME I READ THE NEWSPAPER I THINK, "MY GOD, WHAT A HOST IS FOLLOWING THE ANTICHRIST TODAY!" (See Daniel 8:11.) What a host is anti-Christ, lying, cheating, stealing, twisting the Truth, completely destroying the Truth everywhere they go, taking the Bible out of schools, taking prayer out of schools, putting in the diabolical, anti-Christ teachings of evolution, etc.!
         2. (DANIEL 8:12B) "AND IT CAST DOWN THE TRUTH TO THE GROUND; & IT PRACTISED & PROSPERED." Doesn't that sound exactly like what the [ACs] are doing today?--Exactly!--Casting down the Truth to the ground on almost every television show, almost every movie, even the stories & the newspapers & the works, casting it all down. And practising it--lies--& prospering! That's your picture of the Antichrist System of today.
         3. WHO HAS DONE IT? WHO HAS BEEN THE MOST ACTIVE IN ALL OF THESE CASES IN THE UNITED STATES? Every single one of them was promoted by the [ACs]! They are the most active at trying to take Christ out of Christmas & make it Xmas, take Jesus out of the schools, take even the manger scene out of the town park!--Everything they can! They're as anti-Christ as they can be! They hate God! They hate Jesus & they want to destroy all the truth & destroy every mention of the name of Christ or anything that reminds you of Christ!
         4. AND THEY ARE AT WORK IN THE WORLD TODAY & THEY'VE ALMOST GOT THE WHOLE THING IN THE PALM OF THEIR HAND NOW, RIGHT NOW! It's just about done! About all that we await right now is the announcement of the Antichrist, the appearance & revelation of the Antichrist! They have got the World in the palms of their hands right now! They've got World business, industry, show business, movies, banks, money, government & politics, they've got it all!
         5. THE ANTICHRIST GOVERNMENT, BELOVED, IS ALREADY HERE! The machinery for it & the people for it & the leaders for it & the media for it & the money for it is all here already! And the man is here already too. They're just waiting for the right time to promote him, so that the World will follow him, & I believe it's going to be the Crash. Something terrible's gotta happen to make the World want this Antichrist to lead them & be willing to sell their souls to the Devil.
         6. SO IT'S ALL HERE! THE SET-UP IS ALL HERE, THE ANTICHRIST PEOPLE ARE ALL HERE & THE ANTICHRIST LEADERS ARE ALL HERE! They've got the World in the palm of their hand! They control it, they rule it! They're still working on it, of course, & getting more of it all the time.
        
         9. NOBODY IN THIS WORLD IS SET UP FOR IT LIKE THE [ACs]! It's amazing! They're ideally placed & suited to run the World! They are citizens of every nation, in power in every nation, they speak the language of every nation!
         10. WHAT BETTER, MORE IDEALLY-ORGANISED & SUITED PEOPLE IN THE WORLD COULD THERE POSSIBLY BE FOR RUNNING THE WORLD? Maybe it's the wisdom of God--copied by the Devil with his converts, his Devil-saved ones throughout the World, preparing to run the World. They've got everything it takes to run the World. They're just gradually getting it together, making the situation & waiting for it to culminate so they can strike with their great "supreme lord" leader, the Antichrist!
         11. THEY ARE NOW IN CONTROL ALREADY! They now control most of the World & the most powerful nations on Earth, & the only nations that make them angry & rankle them & they fight with hatred tooth-&-toenail are a handful of little nations that resist'm!--Mostly little tiny Third World nations like Nicaragua, Chile, Cuba, the Philippines, South Africa & a few other little tiny weak nations that really don't amount to a lot.
         12. BUT THEY WILL NOT BE SATISFIED UNTIL THEY'VE GOT EVERY SINGLE NATION ON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH DANCING TO THEIR TUNE, every nation kowtowing to them, every single nation doing what they want them to do. That's why they're so angry at those little countries & why the newspapers, all controlled by the [ACs], are so constantly belittling & lying about & condemning those countries with one constant flood of [AC] propaganda.
         13. THE ANTICHRIST WORLD GOVERNMENT, BELOVED, IS ALREADY HERE, & its members & citizens are already here, & the setup is all ready just for the announcement of the man himself! It is here! The Antichrist Government & its people are already here! They're just waiting to produce their man! And they've already got him hidden away somewhere! They said they were going to hide him until the time was ripe & propitious for producing him, when the World would follow him.
         14. THE WORLD'S GOT TO GET PRETTY DESPERATE TO WHERE THEY'RE WILLING TO YIELD THEIR "NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY," as they call it. This is what the South wouldn't stand for in the U.S. Civil War. They said, "We are sovereign, self-governing independent states, & we're not going to have any other group of states telling us what to do. We voluntarily associated with this country, the United States, & if we want to leave it, we can quit!" But the North said, "No, you don't! You've got a lot of things we want. You've got a lot of land & people & agriculture & cotton & money & wealth & even slaves we want!" They told a different story, but that's really the facts! "So you can't leave, we're going to force you to stay & we're going to conquer you & kill you if you don't!"--Same tactics exactly that the [ACs] are using today to establish the Antichrist World Government!
         15. EITHER YOU SING THEIR LINE, TOE THEIR MARK, OBEY THEIR POLITICS, PAY THEIR BANKS, "OR WE'RE GOING TO SLAUGHTER YOU & JERK THE FINANCIAL RUG OUT FROM UNDER YOU!" Great nations like Argentina & Brazil were rich, rich nations, rich in natural resources & everything! How did they get in such a mess? How did they go bankrupt & broke & begin to have civil strife & all kinds of things?--They made the mistake of swallowing the [AC] line, especially the banks' financial line, & taking money that was almost forced on them. The bankers said, "Oh, that's all right, pay later!" Then the [ACs] had them as their slaves. The borrowers are servants or slaves to the lenders, until they finally got'm in their grasp. (Pro.22:7)
         16. THEY'VE HAD AROUND 500 YEARS OF THAT SORT OF THING ALREADY IN SOUTH AMERICA, THEY'VE HAD THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF IT IN EUROPE! Kings were controlled by moneylenders. Just read European history. [T]he kings looked to the bankers & moneylenders & jewellers for their wealth & money to pay their armies & all the rest! So the bankers & the wealthy dictated government policies to the kings. "Well, all right, we'll lend you the money providing you do so-&-so." And whenever the government refused to do it, they'd jerk the rug out from underneath'm & down would go that king!
         17. IT'S ALL THROUGH THE HISTORY BOOKS! Maybe it's not in the history books any more. They used to have it in the history books.
         18. BUT YOU SEE, THE GREEDY SELFISH WORLD, THEY DEAFEN THEIR EARS TO THE PROPHETS & go on in their self-destructive way because they want the money & the power the [ACs] offer to'm. Like the Devil offered Jesus the World: "Just bow down & serve me! I'll give you the money, I'll give you the power!"
         19. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS ABOUT ALL THIS CONTROVERSY about South Africa, about Pinochet & Chile, about Nicaragua & all the rest of them, these are little countries that have defied the [ACs]. If you'll go back & study their history & carefully watch the news, you'll see. They are every single one of them countries who are refusing to kneel down & bow down & say "Uncle" to the [ACs]!
         20. MAYBE A GOOD TITLE FOR THIS PARTICULAR LESSON IS: "THE ANTICHRIST GOVERNMENT IS ALREADY HERE!" The Antichrist is already here! He's undoubtedly running things from behind the scenes! He is demon-possessed, brilliant, superman intelligent. And he is no doubt calling the shots & organising & engineering & scheming & orchestrating the whole thing from behind the scenes right now.
         21. THE ANTICHRIST IS ALREADY HERE, SOMEWHERE, HE JUST HAS YET TO BE REVEALED! So what you're reading about here is not what is just going to happen, it is already happening! And not even on a small scale, but on a worldwide scale. He already is here & he already has his great host of millions following him, the [ACs] leading'm & leading their stupid, ignorant, dumb [masses]! I never saw such a bunch of dummies. It looks like you can hand them any kind of a line & they'll believe it! You can tell them anything & they'll swallow it! The [ACs] just lead [them] around by the nose.
        
         24. BUT I COULDN'T OVERLOOK THAT FACT, IN TALKING ABOUT THE HOST FOLLOWING THE ANTICHRIST, THEY'RE ALREADY DOING IT, ALREADY HERE! "The Antichrist & His Government Are Already Here!" They are already also in power & in control, they just haven't yet quite got total control, there are a few pockets of resistance. And when they get ready to introduce their superman, I'm sure he'll make sure those pockets of resistance are cleaned up in a hurry so there won't be any more. Or at least he'll try to clean them up. But that's where we have, thank God, some hope & some friends, because there will be resistance & he will never be able to overcome it all! Praise God?
