Once the end-times beasts unite and become the terrible fourth beast there will be an all-out war worse than we have ever known. It could very well be World War 3. There will be several nations that will join forces against a perceived enemy. The Christians.
In an effort to seek and destroy the followers of God, these nations will cause a level of death and destruction that we’ve never experienced before. Led by the antichrist, they will be blinded, ruthless, and will not follow any rules of war.
Since this will not be a war of nations but rather a war to eliminate a specific group of people, the level of destruction will be unimaginable. Those blinded by the antichrist will kill anyone and everyone simply hoping that they are killing Christians.
Due to the fact that Christianity isn’t a race, nationality, or ethnic group, identifying them may be difficult, which is why there will be more death than we’ve ever known. People will be slaughtered simply to get to those who are Christian.

We have spoken a lot about Daniel Chapter 7 and Revelation Chapter 13. If you haven’t read the scripture in all of these sermon series yet, then go ahead and read them. Daniel Chapters 2, 7, and 8, Revelation 12 to 14.
A little bit of a recap. We have spoken about “The End Times,” Daniel’s dream, how the beasts represent modern nations, and what other people have erroneously attributed them to. The lion became a man which was another nation being humbled.
The wings of an eagle which was taken off of that lion and became a nation of itself. The bear, another nation, three ribs, there could be three other nations. The leopard with four heads and four wings, how it was wounded and recovered and a new world order happened.
Then the fourth beast which is an alliance of pretty much all of Europe and northern Asia. All these other beasts came together and created this fourth beast, this great alliance, that is happening, and then when that happened that is going to go on a reign of pretty much domination of this new nation conquering most of the world.
Then after about four years, something is going to happen where the East comes against the West. What do I mean by that? What has the United States been doing when this whole conquering has been going on? Are they just sitting aside or what?
Let’s get into that. Where is the US? We have got the beasts with the heads united to become the fourth beast. Now what do I mean the beast with the heads? Well, we have the lion and we have the leopard with the four heads and then we have the bear, those beasts unite and become this fourth beast.
How do we know that they unite and become this fourth beast? Well in Revelation we have the beast with seven heads, one lion, one bear, and four leopards. One beast, seven heads, that is the beast with seven heads.
How do we know that they correlate? Well, Revelation described them. The mouth of a lion, the feet of a bear, the head of a leopard. The beast looked like that of a leopard and so we have these beasts that correlate. In both visions Daniel and Revelation, the beasts had 10 horns, those 10 horns represented 10 kings and so it is very very close.
What about the eagle’s wings though? That created America from Daniel Chapter 7. The wings of the eagle were taken off of that lion which was the United Kingdom of Great Britain and that lion was humbled like a man, it was taken down. Those wings became a new nation under god.
What happened to America in this period when those other beasts united and pretty much half of the world was going on a conquering spree like Alexander the Great or Genghis Khan or Attila the Hun, all these places, these people that are just dominating the world?
Well, America is still going to be here. America will be out there. They are kind of the odd man out of this. We spoke last week about some possible scenarios. There could be a number of them. We are not sure what it could be.
But perhaps America has a takeover by our military and they throw the president out and then we are waiting for that period of about four years for a new election and a new president to come in until we get involved. America has also done this before.
In World War II they stayed silent for several years and then when they realized that the war was just about over they decided to get involved. So that could be the same type of a deal, America could be staying silent and then this conquering thing could go on and eventually America after about four years could say “Enough is enough” and then they jump in.
Could be several things. Maybe America says, “No, we like what they are doing over there. They are starting to wipe out terrorism which we have been fighting, this war on terror by ourselves for however many years, let them do it. They are cleaning house, they don’t have the rules or the governing bodies that we do, they are out there doing it.”
They can answer for the crimes that they commit and America says, “Let them do it,” and then eventually after these, four years, maybe this new nation starts turning and attacking America’s presence in those countries. Maybe they start attacking American military bases or embassies or something and then that is when America decides to step in. We don’t know.
We don’t know what the situation could be. It could also be that America’s president for those four years that we have is a sleeper agent or something where they are really on the side of them and then a new election happens and they get thrown out and then someone comes in and starts getting things done.
We have no idea. We don’t know, but there are a lot of possibilities in that area. I mean you are welcome to share your ideas and your comments below. Please be respectful of others as you are sharing yours as well.
The bottom line is America during that period where this fourth beast was crushing and trampling and devouring as it was moving through those nations over there, America was still here.
A couple of things that could be happening too is that as we have said the primary religion in Russia is Christianity Europe is Christianity and the Middle East is Muslim or Islam. So what happens if the radical terrorism groups are attributing what they are doing to their religion?
They are also giving a bad reputation to all of those peaceful Muslims out there and whether or not this new nation believes that there are peaceful religions out there or whether they say, “No we are wiping everybody out” as Hitler did with the Jews, or like Stalin did before or Lenin before in Russia.
They just started wiping everybody out perhaps those two groups started uniting and they said, “No we are wiping out everyone in the Muslim world” and they could just start going through like that and they could just be on sort of a killing and conquering spree. They are going to eat their fill of flesh, they are devouring and trampling and crushing.
What could happen during that time is America could be here as a place of refuge where all of these people whose homes are getting wiped out, things are happening, they could be coming to America. Why do I say that?
Well, I say it because America has always been a place of refuge. It has always been known as the melting pot. Take a look at all of the people that have come over here, refugees. We have those that came over here by the Lutherans.
We have, more recently, lots of people from the Middle East coming over here, even more recently Afghanistan, tons of people came here from Afghanistan. We have all kinds of refugees that have been flooding into the United States which could also be one of the potential outcomes during those four years where the US is not involved.
Perhaps the US withdrew its presence from the rest of the world and started building its nation for that period and the United States rose to become a nation even greater than it is today. Why? Because it stops sending money and aid to other nations and starts putting that money into its economy and its infrastructure.
We could see an economy and wealth like we never even imagined because if all that money that was going somewhere else stayed in the United States, and if we started supporting our people rather than other people, other countries, or other immigrants.
If we stopped giving free education, or free cars, or free housing to people that come across, where we start giving it to people who are already here, that could change it. Could maybe even be closing our borders and focusing on the people here, it could be, we don’t know.
I mean COVID has led to closed borders and now we have refugees coming in. So it could be a time where they say, “Enough is enough” and during that period of four years, America is on the sideline that could be another possibility, tons of different possibilities.
The point is America has always been this place of refuge. In the very beginning it became a new land of hope when a ship full of people left the corruption of the current world, they left Great Britain and they came here to worship God.
Exactly like Noah and a ship full of people, Noah, and his family left their area and became a new nation to worship God because the rest of it wasn’t worshiping God. It is very possible that during those four years, America could either be sitting on the sidelines silent.
They could be in a period of turmoil themselves. They could be in a period of growth themselves or they could just be, “Hey we are a place of amnesty,” and all of the people who are being persecuted or forced out of their homes over in southern Asia and Europe and Africa could all be flooding into the United States.
Religion-wise though America has always been this place that people have come to for freedom of religion and historically they came here to worship God. They came here to be Christians and to be one nation under God. What could also be a part of this, is the new socialist nation, the beast.
What is that formed by? Well, this last beast is run by this dragon which is the devil, so the AntiChrist could be here causing this to happen and allowing and making this crushing, devouring, trampling of people and it is led by the AntiChrist. The AntiChrist is destroying God. He is never going to win, but that is what he is trying to do.
What is he going to start with? He is going to start with Islam. Why? Because it is already there. Those other nations, Russia and Europe, those other nations are primarily Christian, so they will use that to wipe out one of the Abrahamic faiths. Why? Well Abrahamic faith, because it came from Ishmael Abraham’s child and the birth of Islam or the Muslim religion was formed.
It is an Abrahamic faith. It will get wiped out. Then all of a sudden when that is taken care of it will start going after Christianity because that is the other Abrahamic faith that is left. Jews same thing, Abrahamic faith. So as this starts progressing it will become even more.
We are going to talk more about that next week at the “Beginning of The End.” I am getting a little ahead of myself, but the point is that this beast, this nation is going to dominate over that part of the world. So America could be a place of refuge.
Those three beasts combine to form the United Nations or let’s say it is the United Nations through which 10 world leaders will carry out war against radical Islam and then potentially even all of Islam and it will kill one-third of humanity. How do we know one-third?
Let’s go to Revelation Chapter 9:18. This is The Riders, Chapter 9:18, which says, “A third of mankind will be killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that come out of their mouths.” Now this is a little bit of a different prophecy but it still relates to the end times.
As these beasts from Daniel and Revelation Chapter 13 start to manifest themselves and nations and things happen, the other prophecies in Revelation will start to go as well. The four corners of the winds will be restrained, they will be let loose.
We already know from the beginning of Daniel that war strife and conflict will be happening in the world. That is Daniel Chapter 7, the beginning of Daniel Chapter 7, we know that that will be happening.
During this period of crushing and devouring and trampling, a third of humanity could be wiped out. Afterward, they are going to turn their hatred toward America and shelter these refugees that they couldn’t get. The shelter of God’s people. A lot of people say “That America could be the new Israel.”
In addition, if all of this havoc starts going on over in the Middle Eastern area, Israel is right there, they are in the middle of this war, and if America is on Israel’s side it is very possible that a lot of those people during this period could leave Israel and come to America.
In which case if the goal over there was to destroy these religions and Israel came to America, America is going to be a new target because everything from Israel came to America or will come to America, if in fact that is going to happen.
The point is that as this moves from northern Asia and northern Europe and Europe south there are going to be a lot of people that are in a lot of trouble. That is no fault of their own and they are not going to know what to do. If America welcomes them in, eventually when they have conquered all of that area they are going to turn their focus to America.
This terrible beast will turn its wrath and it will unleash its wrath killing God’s people by the millions. Let’s go back to Chapter 13 of Revelation for some support here. Chapter 13:7, says, “He was given the power to make war against the saints and to conquer them and he was given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation.” He has got authority over it all.
We saw this in Daniel too about the saints. This was in Chapter 7:24-25, “He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times, and half a time.”
This beast is going to be devouring, trampling, conquering everything, the saints as well. So God’s people by the millions, eventually the rest of the world, will start to follow this beast and see that no one can wage war against it.
They start to worship it. They say, “Whoa this is all of Russia, all of Europe, it is marching south, maybe they have even started conquering into China or south Asia, maybe they are moving into Africa, they have taken the Middle East.”
The rest of the world is going to say, “No one can fight against this and then they are going to start worshiping this new United Nations led by these ten kings and then the one king that uprooted three of the kings and is speaking blasphemous names, they are gonna start worshiping that.” What is that? That is the AntiChrist. They are gonna start worshiping that.
How do we know? Revelation 13:4, “Men worshipped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast and they also worshiped the beast and asked, who is like this beast? Who can make war against him?”
Now that would be a very logical position for most of the world to take. They are worshiping it but saying, “Who can even stand against this superpower?” Think about the nations that would be left, Australia, Canada, the United States, maybe some of the northern islands like Greenland, the Philippines, China, could any of those stand up against all of Europe and Asia, and Africa?
Probably not. They are going to all look at that and say, “There is no fighting chance and what will they do?” Well if this dragon and this beast are the AntiChrist speaking blasphemous names, probably telling people to worship him, they are going to eventually listen.
This is going to happen until Jesus returns to the Earth to destroy that beast forever, He wipes out this beast and destroys it. What is the point of all this? Well, it is a very dismal situation that is going to be happening in the future.
We have gone over what could happen. We have laid it out scripturally. Again you are welcome to your own opinions, you are welcome to discussion. Please post anything you have in the comments below, any insights you have, any scripture references, or prophecies that relate to this. Go ahead. Post them below.
Be respectful, be polite though, and carry on this discussion on Facebook as well. On the Facebook page feel free to do that. You are living in the end times. Great Britain, the United Kingdom, America, Russia, Germany, and France, are all powerful nations, it is only a matter of time before Russia makes the move and starts taking on those three ribs.
Whether it grabs Ukraine and a couple of other nations to try to recreate the USSR the old Russia or whether it says “Nope, we are going to take out Iran, Syria, and Turkey,” or three other Middle Eastern nations to try to get a jump on this terrorism and they grab those three ribs. It is only a matter of time before Russia makes that move.
Then Europe is forced to ally with Russia to defeat the terrorism that is coming through and ransacking and causing a lot of problems for Europe. When that starts to happen, when we see Russia and Europe allying and forming against a common enemy and uniting, that is going to mark the beginning of the end.
We are going to talk about that next week when the beginning of the end happens and again there will be a period of pretty much world domination. Then the United States will come in and it will be east against west and there will be some major fighting back and forth.
Then when that first sign happens, when they unite, the beginning of the end happens. Then we don’t know how long it could be while they start to form everything. They gotta form those 10 kings, create their new nation, their new alliance, and then start attacking and going through so that could take a period.
It could happen instantly or it could happen over a few years and then when they start that mission, when that starts then we will see these things rise and these blasphemous names happen and three kings get wiped out and one takes them over and they continue.
Moving on then there will be a four-year period of this where they pretty much are unchecked. No one can wage war against them for four years. If it takes them four years to set that up and get going and then four more years to do it, that is eight years of this new nation.
I mean it could be even more, could be a little less, we don’t know but it is for sure four years where they are going on this world domination rampage. Then it could be several years before that as well from that initial alliance and move to forming it all and getting everything put in place.
Then at the end of those four years is when they start turning their focus toward America and then America gets in, so we could be in for a long period while this is going on. Again remember no one knows the time or when it will happen, not even the son, only the father.
We don’t know the time, but we need to be ready. How do we be ready? Increase in number, be fruitful and multiply, share Jesus with as many people as you can and encourage them, be the light and the salt of the earth, be the light of the world. Let your light shine from within you out to others. Speak with other people, be bold, be courageous, don’t be afraid.
Let’s pray. Lord Jesus thank you for this time together today. Thank you for these insights into the future and what will happen so that when it does happen we can recognize these signs and see it and know that the time is near.
We know that for us, for believers, we want this. We want the time to come. We want you to be here. We want you to take us home, and live with you in heaven for all eternity. It is the best thing that can ever happen to us.
We know that we have a purpose and we have a mission here on this Earth and that in that period please Lord bless every person watching and listening with clarity and focus. Give them eyes to see and ears to hear so they would know exactly what their purpose and their mission are here on Earth.
That they would be out there doing it Lord. I ask that you bless the discussion that people have about the sermon series. They would be intrigued that they would draw more people in and that more people would start seeking the Bible and reading more about the Bible to learn more about whatever they are seeking.
Whether it is answered in life for the world or prophecy, this could draw them to you. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Thanks again for being with us. Thanks for sticking through this sermon series. We have a few more left, so stay with us, we have two more weeks of this great sermon series.
Again if you haven’t seen or heard the others check them out on our YouTube channel. There will be a playlist or you can scroll through your podcast feed and find them there as well. Have a great week and we will see you next week when we talk about “The Beginning of The End.” God bless.
