The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 416
Chapter 14
The Antichrist’s Bible
The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be
diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it
down, and break it in pieces….[A king shall arise] And he shall speak great words
against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High…
Daniel 7:23, 25
[The king] waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some
of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. Yea, he
magnified himself even to the prince of the host…and it cast down the truth to
the ground… And through his policy also he shall cause craft (deceit) to
prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall
destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be
broken without hand.
Daniel 8:10, 11, 12, 25
Without the word of God we are like lost sheep not knowing right from wrong. The
Apostle Paul said: “…I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the
law had said, Thou shalt not covet.” (Romans 7:7; see also Jeremiah 50:6)
Without the word of
God we would not know we were lost and we would not know that we had salvation in Jesus
Christ; we would not know the good news. Thankfully, God has preserved his word for us and
this is just as he promised. The Psalmist wrote:
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of
earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve
them from this generation for ever. (Psalm 12:6-7.)
Jesus stated, as recorded by Matthew, Mark and Luke, that his words would never pass
away: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” (Matthew 24:35;
Mark 13:31; Luke 21:33) Peter records that “…the word of God…liveth and abideth for ever.” (1
Peter 1:23) We have a gracious, loving God whose promises are true; the word of God has been
preserved perfectly just as he promised.
The word of God has not been preserved without sacrifice. Through dreams and visions
