Sunday at 6:00 PM, we will continue our sermon series from the Book of Daniel entitled “God’s Sovereignty VS Man’s Vanity.” In this sermon, we will look at “ The Two Coming World Rulers.” The “Antichrist” – the false christ, the ‘Lawless one, who opposes and exalts himself above God, and will demand to be worshipped as God. The “Christ” – the true Messiah, who will, when He comes again, destroy the Antichrist and his armies, and cast them into the lake of fire. What continues to amaze me is that God entrusted this vision to a teenage boy named Daniel. Thanks for spreading the gospel by sharing these sermon study guides with your family and friends.

The Book of Daniel is the first of the “apocalyptic books.” It is the first book of the Bible to give a prophetic message of the future through signs and symbols.
In 597 B.C., Daniel, a Judean teenager, no more than 14-years of age, was taken from his family in Jerusalem, transported to the pagan city of Babylon to be trained to serve the wicked king, Nebuchadnezzar.
“Four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea.”
“Four great beasts come up from the sea.”
“A little horn with eyes of a man and a mouth speaking pompous words.”
At least part of the prophecy of the “little horn with the pompous mouth” was fulfilled by Antiochus Epiphanes.
However, Antiochus was a “type” of a world leader yet to come, whose evil hatred for the Jews will surpass his atrocities. This man will be: The “little horn” of Daniel 7 and 8, the “man of sin” of 2 Thessalonians 2, the “beast” of Revelation 13, and the “Antichrist” of 1 John 2

Rev 19:19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse (Jesus – the King of Kings)
The harlot of Revelation 17 is the apostate church during the time of tribulation. The beast she is riding is the Antichrist, the 10-horns are the 10-rulers of the revived Roman Empire, who will yield their authority to the Antichrist in his war with the Lamb.
In 2 Thessalonians 2, the Apostle Paul said the Antichrist cannot be revealed until “he who now restrains him is taken out of the way.”
In Daniel 7:9ff, Daniel said he looked into the heavens and saw God Himself, sitting on His throne.
Daniel said he saw three major events that stirred his soul:
