As we open to Daniel 7, we continue listening to God describe the worst human who will ever live.
1—We first meet him as the Beast and the false peacemaking Rider on the White Horse in Revelation 6 and 13.
2--We saw him as the One Standing in the Holy Place Jesus says that brings the abomination that causes desolation, in Matthew 24.
3--Then we saw Paul’s lengthy description of him as the Man of Sin and the Lawless One in 2 Thessalonians 2.
4--We went on to 1 John’s description of him as the Antichrist.
But now, in the book of the prophet Daniel, we see the longest and most varied description, starting in chapter 7. Turn there with me as we prepare to read, hear, and see the real context that believers need to have because:
The Antichrist Will Be the Worst Human Ever
Big Picture or Panoramic View of the Bible
We started many weeks ago by looking at Revelation 6. By the second verse of the chapter, God was introducing us to the first of four horsemen. The white horse represents the “antichrist” influence Satan has always sought to pour out upon humanity. But now God shows us that the influence is taking the form of the most malignant person ever to live.
Satan’s person introduced in Revelation is a figure that God's Word has described in so many ways and places. This morning I’d like to explain to you why it takes so long to go through the verses of Revelation, the answer is simple if you understand the nature of prophetic Scripture.
The Bible is entirely unified, interconnected, and woven together by God, just like all of our bodies' various organs and systems. One element within God's Word is Biblical prophecies, which are interconnected and run through every corner of the Bible, like nerve cells woven through our human bodies.
So, when preaching the Bible, two valid methods can be used:
• One method is to focus solely upon just one verse or passage out of the over 31,000 verses of the Bible, work only through the words and ideas of that verse alone, and then go on to the next. That is called textual preaching, or sticking to only the verse or text of the message.
• The other method of preaching is expository preaching, which sticks to the text but also adds the weight of what God has said about that verse from any of the other 31,000 verses of the Bible. We are doing this type of expository preaching of the Word in Revelation.
All of the 404 verses in the Book of Revelation are incredibly tied to what God began in Genesis and is in the process of finishing. God has given pieces of information tucked away in the words of the Prophets about the events in the last days. Each of these is a powerful lesson about His character and His plan, and they teach us more about how to worship and serve God through every season of our lives.
Now, using the expository method of study, let me show you the immense weight of all that God has previously told us in the rest of the Bible about the coming false messiah called the antichrist. We began to meet this worst human who will ever live as we stepped into Revelation 6. But as we did, we found a person about whom there are:
