"The Four Hidden Dynasties" (transcript) (in-depth) Bible teaching by Pastor Arnold Murray"The four hidden dynasties.". First of all, what does “horn” symbolize in our Father’s Word? .Horn symbolizes, especially in the Old Testament, 'power'. Almost related to the word "dunamis", dynamite, it means "power that overcomes". There were even horns situated on each corner of the Alter, which meant the Power of God. Now, why then are horns utilized or express, better said, power? .Because they’re external. .God never hides anything from those that have eyes to see. I mean you can "see" the horns. It’s not like a kidney or something that’s all tucked away out of sight you know, that you’d have to have x-ray vision to observe. He lets it be right out in the open. So therefore we have horns symbolizing 'power'.. Well now that’s wonderful, but you must remember that in this world there are two powers. There is the Power of our Father and there is the power of the enemy. .That is to say the amount of power that God "allows him" to exercise. .How’s he doing with you? Are you allowing him? .Well DON'T! Put a stop to it!.I always like a teaching to begin with the positive side. So open your Bibles if you would, to Luke, chapter 1. Now, we have a Horn that is with us always. And we read of that Horn in Luke, chapter, 1, let’s begin with verse 68. This has to do with our Messiah. And it reads:.Luke 1:68 "Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel; for He hath visited and redeemed His people,".Now, that’s for you today. It’s in effect today. You don’t have to wait until tomorrow. It’s there; you’re redeemed at anytime you choose to be. You make the decision... verse 69:.Luke 1:69 "And hath raised up an horn of Salvation for us in the house of His servant David;".Power. External if you have eyes to see otherwise you are blind spiritually. It’s external whereby you can witness it.."An Horn of Salvation for us in the house of His servant David;".In other words the True Messiah came through the genealogy or the genes of David. Out of Jesse so shall a root come, and Jesse being David’s father. And that’s so that you would have "The Key of David" whereby you would not be confused as to the True Messiah. .So that external Horn of Salvation being where you could see if you have eyes to see, if you want it. .You might think of it in the spiritual sense as the horn of plenty or the horn of life. All full of life, and life spills from it. That’s to say good quality life. It’s like The Tree of Life.From that Horn that is our Savior. He saves you from everything that you want Him to basically, except from what you need for a little fine honing, to make a strong person out of you as a servant of God. .He doesn’t like "hothouse lilies" that wilt when the first hot temperature comes along. But He likes lilies that can withstand, of the valley, that can withstand the conditions of the elements, whereby He places you. . Can you cut it? .Of course you can. No problem. Verse 70:. Luke 1:70 "As He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets, which have been since the world began:". That’s why you love this Holy Word. ."which have been since the world began:".That means ages ago, from the very beginning, in the first earth age. God doesn’t keep secrets. He said out external, whereby you taste of it, you experience it, and you know that, that Power, is ever present in your life. V. 71.Luke 1:71 "That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;". Absorb that. Let it flow through your mind. All your enemies that hate you, He handles. Over the period of time, it all comes out. V. 72;.Luke 1:72 "To perform the mercy [promised] to our fathers, and to remember His holy Covenant;". That’s His contract. He’s going to keep it. He’s not going to forget. He keeps that Covenant, that contract at all costs..Why? .That’s His Covenant and contract with you whereby you KNOW that He will "never leave you nor will He forsake you. The Covenant that in verse 73:.Luke 1:73 "The oath which He sware to our father Abraham,". What does 'Abraham' mean in the Hebrew tongue? The "father of all nations" or many nations.. Why?. Because that Covenant applied to whomsoever will partake of the Horn of Salvation but does not release anyone from the Covenant made with Israel, that you are supposed to fulfill, that, that is according to your peoples. V. 74:.Luke 1:74 "That He would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve Him without fear,". Are you afraid? Then you better do some double-checking. You’re minus something, somewhere. God will Protect you as long as you use common sense. There are no 'giants' in the world anymore. WE are the giants. .Why?. Because we march with Him. He’s in control. HE has the Power. And you want to be very careful when you say, “Oh, I’m just afraid that so-in-so is going to happen.” .Well you poor miserable little soul. Maybe God intends for it to happen to you if it should. What should you be shaking for? You can cut it. You can handle it. It’s nothing to you. – Take on a little demonic exercise before breakfast every morning works up an appetite! It’s good for you! .Why? .Because if you believe, you KNOW that you have the victory. You don’t have to fear anything as long as you utilize common sense and the wisdom that God gives you. In other words, did God say you could play with snakes and they won’t bother you? .No, He didn’t say that. .There’s an idiom that says that you could pick up snakes and they wouldn’t bite you, but that idiom means your 'reputation' is too good for Satan to make any headway with you. It’s a "figure of speech" for Satan, not some snake. .So when you use common sense… Now, what if you went out and picked up some snake, well that sucker is going to bite you if he gets a chance, I promise you. That’s not using common sense. Okay, enough said. You have the victory when you think. God gave you a beautiful mind, use it, and don’t be afraid. Exercise the power that you have over the enemy through Christ. Verse 75:.Luke 1:75 "In holiness and righteousness before Him, all the days of our life.". “Well I sure had a bad day yesterday” Oh you did? Well I feel sorry for you.You poor miserable wretch that you don’t have enough sense to come in out of the rain!You know, when you start to feel raindrops start falling, time to go. You know? Get in the house or you’re going to get wet. .You serve God He’ll serve you. You be stupid and He’ll let you be stupid. It’s up to you. God hates lazy people. He really dislikes them and He’s going to make you miserable and don’t ever forget that either. Nobody can help you. You’ve got to listen to Him. Believe Him. Don’t be lazy in "faith". Let your faith be strong and secure everyday. That doesn't mean every other day or just on your good days or bad days, everyday He is with you. Exercise your authority! V. 76:.Luke 1:76"And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest:... This of course being Messiah. ...for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord". John, I should say,…To prepare His ways;. Luke 1:77 "To give knowledge of Salvation unto His people by the remission of their sins,". By what? You see that was a condition. Many people say, “Well I want to claim that!” Not without remission you don’t! Just hold on a minute. Not without remission. You hold onto those sins and you’re guilty, stamped. You think God doesn’t see it. Big stamp on that soul, guilty, leave him alone and let him suffer. Guilty.. So repent. .Cleanse your heart and your soul and partake of that external Horn that anyone can see unless they are "spiritually blind". Have the faith to hang onto it.. Luke 1:78"Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on High hath visited us,". The Branch. I love this because it’s like you were walking in the forest and you come up on a trickling joyful sound of a branch, trickling from spring water, the freshness, the crispness of nature itself as God created it. He would utilize this to let you see the Saviour, as He is personal to you. To you alone, when you’re alone, to touch you, to raise you, to use you. Where God can say, “There’s My child.” Just like He said about Job once, “Hey Satan, look, what do you think about that one, isn’t he a dandy.” Satan said, “You pull away from him and I’ll have him.” Well he didn’t. Why? Job was strong. Job was successful because he never gave up.. Well I could make a whole sermon out of the good Horn and I haven’t even touched the four bad. We’ve got four of them. We better get to it I guess. Zechariah, the next to the last book in the Old Testament, chapter 1 also.. This is prophecy concerning the end times. There have been four angels from heaven pictured on horses scouting out to see if it’s time for the end yet. That is to say time for Christ to return, and they report what they see. And then God gives some prophecies. We’re going to begin with verse 18 of chapter 1 which has to do with the dynasties..Zechariah 1:18 "Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.". Now these are external enemies. They are what I call "The Four Hidden Dynasties".They are the four things that Satan will use against you in your life. .Can you cut it or are you a failure? Okay? You know, I don’t,.. and it’s your business, not mine. .External meaning what? Horns of all the things you can see like sheep, goats, cattle or anything, they are external. You can "see" them if you will look. Think – if you’ll use your mind. Verse 19:.Zec. 1:19 "And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What [be] these?.... What are these? What do they stand for?. ....And he answered me, These [are] the horns which have scattered". They did what? They scattered...Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. Each of these is prefixed with “eth” which is for emphasis which is to show, so that you would not confuse them with the Church or Gentile or anything else. .Each of them has their own article so to speak, for emphasis.. So He’s saying “THE Tribe of Judah”, “THE House of Israel", and "Jerusalem” -- which you are always to look to, when discerning prophecy. That’s the geographical location and its times and its season you go by. Verse 20:.Zec. 1:20"And the LORD shewed me four carpenters.". What are these? These are also 'smiths' in the Hebrew tongue, divine agencies to overthrow. Overthrow what? Those horns. The enemy. Verse 21:.Zec. 1:21"Then said I, What come these to do?...". What are those four enemy horns suppose to do anyway?. "...And he spake, saying, 'These [are] the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up [their] horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.'" . In other words, any power that comes up to scatter. Now what are these horns? What are these powers? The four "methods of operation" which Satan utilizes..They are; "POLITICAL", "EDUCATIONAL", the "ECONONY," and last but certainly not least, "RELIGION". .Now, if he can take over those things, and have your children for a few years, he’s got them, just about... If you haven’t been looking. In other words, with those things you can brain-- mindset, let me use that term. You can "mindset" whoever is studying, and does not think for themselves, or at least come out occasionally for a good breath of air and get into God’s Word just "to see" exactly what’s going to happen. .You listen to man and his traditions, and I don’t care what religion it is, this man, or any other man, "without checking" with God’s Word, and I’m going to tell you something, you’re not very smart. You don’t think for yourself, you think for what some organization says, whether it be this one or some other... You (must) get back to God’s Word alone, and "by yourself".. If you can read, if you can think for yourself, and if you can’t I feel sorry for you. So what do we take first then? Well, let’s just look at some of the simpler examples of how Satan-- let’s go to the old boy that would call himself the king of Babylon. Okay? Because he was "a type", if you would, of the king of Babylon that would be in the Book of Revelation. I don’t know, have you ever read the Book of Revelation, or does your church tell you that "you don’t need to"?. Certainly this one does. Don’t ever think that man can outsmart God or you’re stupid coming out the gate. God Wrote this "entire" Book of Instructions to you, for you to absorb, whereby this man or any other man cannot deceive you..Now Nebuchadnezzar....well, let me ask you a question, do you know what "Nebo" means? Well, really you should, unless you’re Biblically illiterate. Nebo means; "the god of learning", especially "letters".. And that’s what Nebuchadnezzar comes from. He believed in education. trust me, he did. He liked to educate. Why? Through education, you can "mindset" people, or set the minds of people. There’s another term called "brainwashing" if you so choose. Hopefully everyone is not that devious, but Satan is going to work where he can.. For example, why not take "Education" itself and let a few bleeding hearts come up and say, “Please, that offends me. It offends me for you to say" "I love the Lord". So don’t say that in front of me.” .And bleeding-heart Christians say;“Oh dear God, we have offended them.” .Well in that case, be "wiser than the serpent" and pray (within) to yourself. God can hear you, they can’t. Don’t let a few 'Goy' who practice other religions, and I say that not to offend, but other than Christianity, I’ve go some bad news for you if you don’t know the difference, there are some people that worship other religions other than Christianity, and that’s fine, that’s their choice. And in this great nation many of us have even fought, some of us such as yours truly, has even shed blood to give them and guarantee them, the right to believe whatever they choose, and that’s fine. But don’t let them prevent you from learning from your Father’s Word and studying, as you should. Alright? A word to the wise, is sufficient. .Now turn with me if you would to the Book of Daniel, one of the better prophets and it’s an overlay to the Book of Revelation as to how it would be in the end. Have you ever read it? Are you familiar with it? Have you been taught it? Concentrating on Education. Again, remembering the very prime root of Nebuchadnezzar’s name, the king of Babylon who was" a type" of the king of Babylon of the end times, "Nebo", the god of learning. .Let’s pick it up with verse 3, just to make our point, chapter 1 verse 3-- You all are learned aren’t you? You didn’t need to know what chapter, that’s really a good sign. Dan 1:3 "And the king spake unto Ashpenaz...". Now "Ashpenaz" is good Babylonian name and it is probably a descriptive name, and it means "horse nose". Now why would you call somebody “horse nose”? .I don’t know. But the wise, you kind of figure it out for yourself, don’t you?."... the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring [certain] of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes;". He says, “I want sharp people.” Why?Do you know that Nebuchadnezzar had one of the largest libraries that has ever been found from ancient times? He was all for Education, giving you "a type"---verse 4: . Dan 1:4 "Children in whom [was] no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom,...". (They were sharp.). (... and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science,...". (When one understands science, there’s many that would like to tell you that there is a conflict between God’s Word and science but they’re lying to you. There is "no conflict". This earth IS millions of years old, and the Manuscripts from which this King James comes from and the King James itself declares it, IF you read it. If you haven’t, hey, tough luck!). "...and such as [had] ability in them to stand in the king's palace,...".(In other words, we want someone we don’t have to explain away that they have a right to stand there.)."....and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.". I want to repeat that again. As it is written in I Corinthians in the New Testament in chapter 10, verse 10, "these things happened as an ensample (example)" whereby you would know what would befall you in the end times. okay?In other words, in the idea that we will teach them "our" way. There were 5 dialects of the Chaldee tongue okay, so it took a little time. Much of Daniel is written in the Chaldee tongue. I don’t know, have you read it? In chapter 2, verse 2, halfway through, that Scripture it turns to Chaldee or Syriac, or Arabic, whichever you choose to call it. And it stays in that language until chapter 8 whereby the freedom from the Chaldees takes place and then it goes back to pure Hebrew..He wanted to teach them. What was his request then? Verse 5:.Daniel 1:5 "And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years,...". (How long? Well, 3 years will do it. A good portion of Western civilization you know, if they drag it out, If they "flunk out" the first year and then 2 or 3 more, you can get there.). "...that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.". In other words if they get smart enough, then they can come in and stand before the king. .So this is the way that Satan likes to operate is through Education. It 'sounds' so intelligent, you know. .Even today you can have the Media just mention Christianity and they’ll snicker. Many of them will snicker. And how many Christians are man or woman enough to stand up when somebody insults God, by not paying attention in one of His lectures? How many of you are that stupid? Think about it a moment. Or do you disrupt? God’s Word is a very serious thing. There are Christians who do stand for something, rather than "playing church". When we’re studying God’s Word let’s pay attention to it.. Now, that kind of covers "Education". What was one of the other subjects? Well, "Political". .Now we have one of the most shining examples through Politics in this generation that you could want to come by. You know, I can remember when I was a young person if someone in a "political office" were rude enough to let their personal life play in the higher offices of the land, they wouldn’t have been around long. But the Media today says, “It’s alright.” I’m going to tell you what, I don’t know how many of you listened to the so-called trials, the so-called political trials and you see one side that absolutely tries to shoot the messenger rather than the message the messengers bring – the 'facts', - the data.In other words they want to turn upon the law and say it’s bad. Well that’s kind of serious stuff..But what did God tell you would come to pass?.Revelation, chapter 17, concerns horns. Now what has happened here in the 17th chapter is naturally the "false christ" has been identified as the "son of perdition", and in as much as "perdition" in the Greek tongue means; "one that has already been sentenced to perish" and there is only 'one person' that that has happened to. Do you know who it is, or are you Biblically illiterate? .You know, there has already been a trial for him and it’s written and recorded in Ezekiel, chapter 28. It’s the "son of perdition" which is to say Satan.The word "perdition" means to perish. He’s already been Judged to death. But he has some people he’s leading and they are a Political organization. .Incidentally, do you know what a dynasty is? .A dynasty is a rule that one family holds for a long period of time or a short period of time, same family. And that is why I have no problem calling these "the hidden dynasties" because it has been Satan’s family, or God’s family, from day one. So, know who the "chief captain" is here, the "son of perdition". And again, there is no multiple choice there’s only one – for someone that’s Biblically literate. Verse 12 reads:.Rev 17:12 ""And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings,...". (Meaning what?It’s Political. .Now a lot of people will draw "weird pictures" from chapter 13 about some "grotesque monster". No! It’s a "Political system"). "...which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.".That is the 1 hour that is the same equivalent of the "5-month period" spoken of in Revelation, chapter 9. Some of you, as it is written in Mark 13 will be delivered up. To what? To witness or to allow the Holy Spirit to speak through you when that day comes. I don’t know? Do you have a destiny? Is there more to God’s Word than you’ve been taught? Have you ever thought about that? Well I don’t know. That’s up to you. That doesn’t matter to me. Verse 13:. Rev 17:13 "These have one mind,..". (In other words, "their mindset". You got it? They are well trained. They only think in one light.). "...and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.". In other words, what beast? The "Religious beast". And I’ll document that in a few minutes. V. 14. Rev 17:14 "These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them:...". (Who has the victory? Stay on the winning side.)."...for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with Him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful.". I don’t know. Are you called or do you just float around? I don’t know. God does that. Man doesn’t. Verse 15:. Rev 17:15 "And he saith unto me, The waters...". (In other words, this is the 'waters' that old beast rose from. That "old Political system" -- What were those 'waters'?). "...which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.".In other words, that "multi-headed monster" that rose from the 'sea' simply means it was a Political system that rose from the peoples of the world.. You have a leaning toward that today, Politically, that is very interesting. You have mergers, mergers, mergers. And I have already received a printout of the exchange rate between the Euro dollar starting in January with what the American dollar is going to be. Now, what does that mean? Really, not a whole lot of anything – other than when you see Chrysler join with a foreign country, when you see the Asian flu hit our stock market, then you realize that the markets area already connected friend. You’re a lot closer to that than you might think. Alright? Verse 16:. Rev 17:16 "And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.". Do you know what she’s a prostitute of? I said, do you know what she’s a prostitute of? Religion?. Because I lot of folks will "sell themselves" for an easy way out.verse17:. Rev 17:17 "For God hath put in their hearts...". (That’s the Political system.). "...to fulfil His will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast,...".(That’s the son of perdition) . "...until the Words of God shall be fulfilled.".Whose Word? my word? Your word? Uh huh. 'Exactly' as it is written, that’s the way it shall be fulfilled. Verse18: Rev 17:18"And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.". In other words, the woman herself, or the "Church system" so-to-speak, the "religious system" of "all" religions, that follow 'the false-one' are "Babylon". What does the word "Babylon" mean?It comes from the prime “Babyl” which means "confusion". .Do you remember the Scripture, Father, "Our God, is not the author of confusion, but of peace". .So be very careful when things seem confused to you, you haven’t really studied the Word to the point that you have clarity of understanding, for yourself. And don’t you listen to "this man or any other man" until you get back to the Scriptures and dig it out for 'yourself', whereby you are at peace and comfortable with it, with what the Father says. So there you kind of have The "POLITICAL". That’s one of his methods.. I need not point to you how he has utilized politicians today. We’ve got some good ones and we’ve got some that I’m going to tell you what, they’re not much. And many might say;“Well I wouldn’t talk against them.” No, No, let’s get down to reality. Which ones would you like for your children to pattern as their example? Hmm? Do you proud? Which one of them would you like to be like? Think about it. .Satan’s doing a real good job. And I happen to know that one of these people sat in a church that taught God’s Word. Evidently they didn’t pay any attention. You know why? They were too busy. Little minds that race and never quite take God’s Word serious. One of them came from this state. That’s why I know the pastor that this person sat under. He knew better!.Okay, what is the other dynasty then? The "ECONOMY". And as I stated, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know, as I fore-stated, we had Asian flu and Japan’s system failed because they had so many bad loans on the books that couldn’t possibly be paid. Do you know who "backed" a lot of those? The Banks. Let’s take Mexico. Do you know who loaned Mexico all that money that they kind of went under for? A lot of your Banks. So when our government had to come up with $40 billion to bail out Mexico, where do you think that $40 billion ultimately went to? It went to pay our "BANKS" off. Otherwise you would have had a lot of Bank failures and would have been concerned, but you don’t have to worry, that’s not going to happen. But at least be wise enough to see what the World "ECONOMY" is doing. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure the mergers, mergers, mergers – doesn’t that make you wonder sometimes what’s happening? “Oh well, just as long as I get my paycheck and I can get my Post Toasties I’ll be alright.” Well, I wonder. So, how, first of all, how was Antichrist to come into power? That, would give us probably a good idea. So again, we have a book that is just full of prophecies called the book of Daniel, "El is my Yah, El is my God", that being the meaning of Daniel. .Let’s go to the Book of Daniel and think about the "Economy" and in a sense, and let’s see how the "little horn" is coming into power. That should give you a pretty good idea. Shouldn’t it? Well, you think about that a little bit.. Daniel, chapter 8… It would have been chapter 7 that that "little horn" would have come up among the 10 horns, and you’ll find that in verses 7 and 8 of the 7th chapter, but I want your attention drawn to chapter 8 on how the "false one" comes into power. Where does he get the "umph", the "power". Let’s go with verse 23 so we have an identifier of time or dispensations:. Dan 8:23 "And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.".I don’t have to define "dark sentences" for you. You know, that’s satanic sayings, from the Hebrew. Verse 24:. Dan 8:24 "And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power:..". (In other words it’s a false godhead.). "...and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper,..". (Meaning he’s got the bucks. Alright?). "...and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.". Meaning, destroy it. In what way? With the "great apostasy" Where people are deceived. Where that same "Political system" comes to power for that "5-month period" related to Revelation 9. V. 25. Dan 8:25"And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand;...". (He can cause anything you know he wants to pay off all of your bills, #1. How will that suit you? Alright? You want to get all of your bills paid off and buy you maybe a new car or something? he can handle it.) . "...and he shall magnify [himself] in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many:..." . (Some might ask, "Why peace? I always heard it was going to be war". Uh huh. That's not what the Bible says. He comes in "peacefully" claiming to be Jesus. And you know what? By the miracles he performs many people that are Biblically illiterate are going to be sucked in by it. That’s why the whore was the waters of the people of the world that we just completed if you were listening.)."...he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.".Why?Christ is going to do it.. Dan 8:26 "And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it [shall be] for many days.". Well ,you are coming to "that" time.Now, turn along with me to chapter 11 of this same book and we’re going to go to the point where "the vile person" comes in. It is the same one we were reading of. Let me ask you a question just so many of you might say, “Well what does this have to do with Christianity?” Well, when was the daily oblation we read about done away with? There use to be, a burnt offering, every day, that’s when Christ was crucified. So naturally it has to do with you. Verse 21 of chapter 11.. Dan 11:21 "And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.".Claiming to be Jesus, returned. Hey, that will get him somewhere when he can perform miracles. Verse 22:. Dan 11:22 "And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant." .In other words, Christianity will suffer at this time.Why? Because it is the time of the "great apostasy" when the majority, unfortunately many Christians will be deceived by this joker. Why? They haven’t studied God’s Word. They're going to church a lot and they are "pew potatoes". Maybe not handed down the Truth, but that’s no excuse. What have you personally done? That’s what’s important. Let me tell you something, there are good teachers in every denomination, every denomination. It’s according to what is being taught, whether it’s God’s Word or man’s "traditions". Verse 23:. Dan 11:23 "And after the league [made] with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.". This word in the Hebrew is “gowy”. Verse 24:. Dan 11:24 "He shall enter peaceably..." . (Now listen closely, this is his M.O. method of operation). . "...even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do [that] which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches:..".(Got any bills that you need paid, if you will believe?)."...[yea], and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.".A 5-month period. I don’t know. Can you handle that? You know one of his first little methods, and we’ll read one more verse and we’ll leave this. Verse 32:. Dan 11:32 ""And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries:..". (In other words, when someone makes light of teaching God’s Word, Satan will boast about them with "flatteries". Oh 'yes. Yes, yes').. "...but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do [exploits].".Do you know your Father? This is The Living Word, that’s the way you absorb it. I’m proud of each and every one of you that you make a personal study. That you don’t listen to this man or any other man without checking him out in the Word of God. .How does Satan come in? "peacefully and prosperously" and divides the spoil among those that will receive him. .Hey, that’s pretty difficult to fight against if people are Biblically illiterate whereby they will accept him when he performs miracles. Which brings us to the last of the four. .The "RELIGIOUS" horn. There’s only one place you need to go for that, and that’s Revelation, chapter 13. The first 10 verses of the 13th chapter have to do with that "Political system" we read of in chapter 17 of Revelation. But now we are going to let the Word interpret itself when we put this much time into this. Verse 11..And I want you to figure this out for yourself. How sharp are you?.Rev 13:11 "And I beheld another beast...". (This is the one that rises up after the Political system.). "...coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.". Okay, what does it mean? What are horns? They’re external. On the outside he "looks like" the lamb slain. He "looks like" the Lamb of God, but what is his voice? It’s "the voice of the dragon".Which is what? Well if you ever read Revelation, chapter 12, verse 7 it says "that old dragon which is the serpent, which is the devil". he fills many roles. But he "looks like" the Lord Jesus Christ but he is Antichrist. “Anti” in the Greek tongue means “instead of”.“Instead of Christ”, he returns first, saying, “I’ve come to take a load off you, if you want to go with me.” That’s why you want to be pretty sharp in your Father’s Word or you might jump in the "wrong bus". You might jump right in bed (spiritually) with Satan rather than remaining a virgin for the True Christ. That’s why Jesus would say in Mark 13 “Woe to you that are with child when I return.”.Jesus likes to talk right down where the "rubber meets the road". Meaning what? He’s been away for 2000 years and if He comes back and finds you with a young suckling child what does that mean? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it, you were untrue and unfaithful. He wasn’t speaking of a mother carrying a child in a womb, for that is a blessing. He’s talking about those that are 'impregnated' in their mind, with lies and falsehoods and fall off to the "first messiah" rather than waiting for the True Messiah to return. They DON'T KNOW the difference! Why? Do you know what he’s able to do? In other words, you’ve got a wolf in sheep’s clothing here. He "looks like the Lamb" but this is the kind of religion it is. Verse 12:.Rev 13:12 "And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast..." (That’s the "Political"). "...before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed." . Verse 13, listen carefully:.Rev 13:13 "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,".That means "visibly". Do you know what this word (fire) is in the Greek? He can "snap his fingers" and make 'lightening' come down. Do you think that will be effective? Hey, we’ve got people that go bananas over rock stars. You’ve got a dude like this come along saying he’s Christ, he snaps his fingers and fire comes from the heavens and he’s going to make a few points friend.You want to be careful or he might even deceive you. I don’t think so? Verse 14:.Rev 13:14 "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast..." . (Political system, the Government.). "...which had the wound by a sword, and did live.".Live why? Because he shows up on the scene "claiming to be Christ" and the world follows him thinking he is Christ or he’s whatever religion he's serviced. Study, he’s their main man. Alright? And I’m accused of not mentioning any specific religions because I will not speak bad of a religion, a denomination, or anything else. Because there’s good ones and bad ones among all the names and so-forth, and it’s according to what kind of teacher they’ve got. Verse 15:. Rev 13:15 "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.". That means "a spiritual death" for those that are really not familiar with our Father’s Word. Why wouldn’t he have power? He controls the "ECONOMY", "POLITICS", "EDUCATION", and "RELIGION". Verse 16:.Rev 13:16"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:". Now you’ve heard preachers all your life say, “Don’t let them stamp that 666 on you!” Now, you can read, you’re intelligent. Did it say “ON” or “IN”? It said “IN” the forehead. Well what’s IN your forehead? Your brain. That’s what he’s interested in 'stamping,' is your "thought process". Many people today are deceived and that’s part of that deception and they don’t even know it. They’re not aware of it. Well what about the hand? That means "doing his work". And I’m going to tell you something; there are many people of many religions furthering his POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS, and the ECONOMY without really being aware of it. Does that make them bad people? No. But it might make them Biblically illiterate. I don’t know, I’m not judging them. I don’t judge anyone, alright? But you hear the Truth. This is your Father’s Word. And, you make your own mind up, and it’s fine with me. Alright?. Naturally, as Jesus said in Mark 13 about woe to those that are with child when they give suck, giving suck means to "nurse along" Satan’s work.Here, the right hand means; Your right hand is always symbolic of your power. So it means doing his work for him. verse 17:. Rev 13:17 "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.". Which simply means that you would worship or be deceived by him. Verse18.. Rev 13:18 "Here is wisdom...". (And Truly it is. Verse 18, listen carefully:). "...Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:.." (Now let me tell you something, if I can have your attention away from that verse for just one second. If you ever did yourself a favor, take that word “count”, go to your Strong’s Concordance and check it out in the Greek and find out what he really said there.G5584ψηλαφάωpsēlaphaōpsay-laf-ah'-oFrom the base of G5567 (compare G5586 ); to {manipulate} that {is} verify by contact; figuratively to search for: - feel {after} {handle} touch.G5585ψηφίζωpsēphizōpsay-fid'-zoFrom G5586 ; to use pebbles in {enumeration} that {is} (genitive case) to compute: - count.G5586ψηφίζωpsēphospsay'-fosFrom the same as G5584 ; a pebble (as worn smooth by {handling}) that {is} (by implication of use as a counter or ballot ) a verdict (of acquittal) or ticket (of admission); a vote: - {stone} voice;.It’s not like how we count 1, 2, 3, 4, It means to "count the stones worn smooth over a long period of time", "the family" of the deception, "the dynasties". Do yourself a favor, and if you wouldn’t do it for any other reason, do it to prove me wrong. That’s how you count. 'Count' what has happened over a long period of time.). "...for it is the number of a man;...".(A man that is coming. Don’t forget this; what does the word “Gabriel” mean in the Hebrew tongue? It means “man of God”. Though he is an angel he’s still "a man". Satan in Isaiah 14, is called and “איש - ish” in the Hebrew which is "a man" also. The "man of sin".It is the number of a man and how do you know him?). "...and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.".And I’m simply going to say 666. Now let me ask you something. What happens in the 6th seal? “Oh I don’t... let me see, well the Antichrist comes.” .Yep. Well what happens at the 6th trump? “Um, the Antichrist appears.” .Well what happens at the 6th vial? "Antichrist appears.". Beloved, the seals are not given in chronological order but are given whereby you can best gain 'understanding' of events that would transpire. But both the seals and the trumps and the vials come together. That’s "666", showing you when Satan is cast to the earth as the "spurious messiah". And check the word “count” out. It means to enumerate by stones, like casting lots. Only not casting because you know that you have the Key of David that opens locks that no one can close. Meaning what? You have the Truth concerning the True Messiah. So there we have the "Four Hidden Dynasties". That pretty well wraps it up. Interesting study. It can be thought of as perhaps, maybe a little bit boring but at the same time, let’s just in closing, go back to the Hebrew children, in our mind for a moment, those that were called out to be specially taught. Do you think it drew them away from their True Father? Then I’m going to mention Shadrach Meshach and Abednego. No. When they tried to get them to worship "the 666" every time 6 instruments were sounded, you know pretty soon a wise person says, “You know, God’s trying to tell me something. This is 6, 6, you know.” Well, they wouldn’t bow. Even after they had been trained that 3 years they didn’t pull away from God. Why? They set an example for you. They were cast into the "fiery furnace", heated seven times, and Nebuchadnezzar himself saw the Son of God walking with them. You know what? They weren’t singed. Why? God’s not mad at you. When His Wrath spills over on the world you don’t have to worry about being gone in His tribulation. Do you give God not enough credit that He’s able to punish His enemies "without punishing" those that He loves? I’m glad I worship the God I worship rather than the god you worship "if" that’s your case, because He Protected those 3 children in that furnace. And it’s simply to say; What is God? God is "a Consuming Fire", it's the last verse of the 12th chapter of Hebrews, also written in the Old Testament. "God is a consuming fire". That’s the Holy Spirit that touches you and warms you and touches your mind and it clicks. Wow that’s interesting! His Word IS interesting!.So I would only close with one parting thought. Horns are external. If you look you can "SEE" them. Do you care about looking? I would advise you to. Keep your "eyes open" especially in this generation of the fig tree. There’s a lot of interesting things that are going to happen so be aware..The Four Hidden Dynasties. Do you have to be afraid of them? Of course not. But at least be aware.Okay, let's pray. .Heavenly Father we thank You Father for the written Word. We thank You for giving us understanding in that Word. We pray for more understanding for we know, no one knows everything except Thee, Thyself. Father. Gain us that knowledge in the Precious Name of Yahshua Messiah Jesus, Amen..Transcript of lecture "The Four Hidden Dynasties" by Pastor Arnold Murrayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMu1yDRqiuQ
