Well, how many dreams did he have? Did he have a bunch? Nebuchadnezzar, that’s who it was?
Bert 0:36
He had one dream.
iON 0:38
Okay. Well, his first dream was about a huge statue. Right?
Bert 0:44
Yes, that’s [inaudible].
iON 0:45
A statue of many different empires. Now, Babylon, the Babylonian Empire, Bob’s favorite, that was gold. And Median, remember the Median Empire? That was silver. And the Persian, we talk about the Persian Empire often, don’t we? That would be bronze. And the Hellenistic Empire, that would be iron. Right?
Bert 1:16
Mm-hmm.
iON 1:19
And so, now those kingdoms would be judged. And who’s gonna judge them? What they call the Ancient of days sits in judgment over them. And one like the Son of Man is given eternal kingship. Get that?
Bert 1:44
Yes.
iON 1:47
Okay, that was good.
Bert 1:52
That’s all the kingdoms? There were five.
iON 1:56
No, it’s not all the kingdoms, but that’s all we can remember, we’re distracted. [laughs] Big’un, you better go to Daniel 7.
Bert 2:11
Daniel 7, all right.
iON 2:14
Gonna have to do a little work ’cause you’re gonna have to work for it.
Bert 2:17
Daniel 7. Okay, Daniel 7. Okay, verse 1. "In the first year of Bel-shaz-zar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters. 2) Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. 3) And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another." Oh, wow. Okay. Verse 4.
iON 2:59
Wait a minute, wait a minute! Wait a minute, wait a minute. What’s flowing from Babylon to the United States of America right now? What’s blowing from the Sahara Desert right now?
Bert 3:12
Yeah, that’s sand. The sand.
iON 3:14
Uh-huh. The winds are blowing from the kingdom of Babylon.
Bert 3:25
So, the kingdom of Babylon is the Sahara?
iON 3:29
Yeah, that’s where that is, yeah.
Bert 3:33
Babylon is in the Sahara?
iON 3:36
Ask Bob, he knows everything. Ask Bob, he knows everything.
Bert 3:42
Bob, is Babylon in the Sahara?
Bob 3:52
My best days in Babylon were when Babylon was in the Sahara.
Bert 4:00
Oh, okay.
iON 4:01
It moves a bit. It moves a bit. Babylon was huge.
Bert 4:04
Mm-hmm.
iON 4:06
Your point’s well taken, but it’s not as you know it. Go ahead.
Bert 4:13
4) The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. 5) And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. 6) After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads and dominion was given to it. 7) After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had 10 horns. 8) I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. 9) I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his thrown was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. 10) A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. 11) I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame. 12) As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. 13) I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14) And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. 15) I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. 16) I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things. 17) These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth. 18) But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever." Let me read that again. "But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. 19) Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; 20) And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. 21) I beheld, and the same horn make war with the saints, and prevailed against them: 22) Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. 23) Thus he said, 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 thread it down, and break it in pieces. 24) And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. 25) And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. 26) But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. 27) And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. 28) Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart."
iON 10:13
Excellent. Excellent. Now, so basically when that’s laid out, we’re gonna give you what it says. Now, we’re not gonna clean it up right now, but Bert, you can pick it apart, pick it to death once you got some’um to work with. Let’s do it this way. Daniel 2:32 and 38, the Babylonian Empire. You can look that up and go from there how it all meets. It was divided, the Medes and the Persians later. It becomes a merged thing. And that’s before Bel-shaz-zar was killed, so you gotta watch that. Then you have, that turned into the Persian, Medo-Persian Empire. And then after that was Alexander the Great’s Empire. That was the division of the kingdom. Okay? That’s the belly and the thighs of bronze and brass, and that’s the male goat with the large horn and four smaller horns, Daniel 8:5 through 8:21 to 22, and 11:3 through 4. That was Alexander the Great’s issue that he had to deal with that fell. This is where the Greek king whose father was Philip II of Macedon, that’s how that connects. Bob remembers that well, which got him all the way up to 27 BC with the Roman Empire. Woo woo. With the teeth of iron of the ten horns. Then you have the great false religious system. That’s the whole — basically the Catholic Church and or the papacy; they’re right in-between each other; they both stand. Then you have the Vandals. The Vandals are the ones that are listed in Daniel 7:24. Then the first of the three horns plucked from the little horn is Daniel 7:8 and 20. That kingdom was overthrown at the behest of the papacy. Then the Heruli, that’s in the same plucked-up of the little horn as well is by the papacy. Then the Ostrogoths, that came the same that was the other of the little horn. Then Theodoric the Great became the king. It was overdone. This is where you got the first touch of the Byzantine Empire. That’s how that whole war in the — the 19-year-long war and the Gothic war, and it finally fell. Then the Roman Empire partial restoration goes under the backside of Justinian I, the Byzantine Empire. Then you movin’ on down to Charlemagne! Got that? Now we’re startin’ to get to Bob’s world with Charles the Great, and that’s crowned by the Pope. Was the first Roman Emperor in the Western Europe since the fall of the empire in 476 AD. That brings in the Franks and the Lombards, and Bob’s — he can do that. He can do that out of his ass. He knows that by heart. But that’s another one. Otto the Great, that’s about 962. This is where the Germans start comin’ in here. That’s where they start bumpin’ into Duke of Saxony. Bob just loves Saxony. It’s so much fun. And they we’re tryin’ to compare and move themselves up and be the founder of the Holy Roman Empire actually. Then you got Charles V, oh god, same thing. That’s Revelation 17:1 through 6, the heads of the four beasts. It goes all the way through. This actually bound the Jesuits. Actually. Bob’s not real fond of them because it made Protestantism a normal name, but it really wasn’t the case. Then you got Napoleon I that runs us right into the same run and goes all the way through until 1814 AD. Then you got Otto von Bismarck. Uh oh, it’s startin’ to get closer to home now; y’all better look out. This is that part where Otto the Great, Charles V, Napoleon, Justinian and Charlemagne was all before the Bismarck’s rule; those five kingdoms fell before Bismarck’s rule. Then you got Benito Mussolini. What? What? 1929? Mussolini and Vatican City? What? New York City? What? That’s the Third Reich. It brings you all the way up to the final world Empire. Toes of iron, clay, destroyed by God’s kingdom. King that will kill Christians and fight chiefs. Beast with seven heads, ten horns who rule the earth. Beast with two horns like a lamb but speaks like a dragon. Eight heads that is the beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth. Revelation 17:11. Ten horns, a king that will give their power to the beast. The full meaning of these prophecies are yet to occur. You’re gonna see in a minute. No, that was good. Okay, good. You wanna go to the beach now?
Bert 15:41
Thanks, iON. It’s a lot to go through, but that’s thick.
iON 15:45
Well, it just lays it out. Y’all been begging for it so it’s time. Twenty people participated so you can get a little some’um, some’um. You’ll have to ask Gregg if it’s all right. If it’s not, we’ll stop; if it’s okay with him, we’ll go on a little bit further, of course, see how that goes. But so far, so good. Now, did you get your meatsack body? Now, this world system is not based on Nebuchadnezzar’s anything. But what Nebuchadnezzar stood for was Mammon. That’s what this world is working with right now is Mammon. They are — nobody’s working. You know why you have a gazillion people unemployed? ‘Cause they’re gettin’ paid money to not work for God’s sake. How many people gonna sign up for unemployment if you get paid to not work? Pretty amazing. So, set all that aside. It’s not as perilous as it appears, but it’s going to be. It’s just beginning, and they can’t sustain it. The system can’t sustain itself, you see.
Bert 16:52
That’s an earful.
iON 16:54
Fasten your seat belt and always remember that indeed, the nearest emergency exit may be behind you.
