Revelation 13:7 Part 5: War With the Saints and Eating of the Tree of Life

"Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations."

him over all:

The below verses imply that this Antichrist (he goat) king starts off as a man of God within the worldwide Christian church who God places as leader/king over the entire church. Some Christians will have prayed for this man after they've rejected the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and King. They then go back into sin and perdition (apostasy) at the Antichrist king's leadership. Remember Israel asking God for Saul.

"Leviticus 16:21-22 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness."

"Numbers 5:30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law."

"1 Samuel 10:19 And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands."

"1 Samuel 18:5 And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants."

"1 Kings 4:24 For he had dominion over all the region on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him."

"1 Kings 12:20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only."

"Nehemiah 13:26 Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin."

"Acts 7:10 And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house."

kindreds, and tongues, and nations:

"Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;"

"Revelation 11:9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves."

Deeper Study: The name Daniel and Daniel 2:48

The name Daniel means "God is judge". The name is fitting for the events that happen in Revelation 13.

Verses: "God is judge"

"Job 31:28 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above."

"Psalms 50:7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God."

"Psalms 75:7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another."

"1 Corinthians 11:13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?"

"Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."

God is not a respecter of persons. Everyone is getting punished at some point.

"Ecclesiastes 3:17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work."

"Acts 10:42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead."

"2 Kings 5:1 Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper."

"1 Chronicles 20:6 And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the giant."

"Hosea 9:7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred."

"Micah 7:3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up."

"Luke 6:49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great."

This next Son of man won't be the true Jesus Christ, who already came in the flesh and now sits on the right hand side of God.

"Luke 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory."

"Acts 23:9 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God."

"a spirit or":

"Leviticus 20:27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them."

"1 Corinthians 4:21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?"

"Revelation 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath."

"Revelation 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

"Revelation 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird."

"Revelation 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come."

Conclusion

God, who is the Lord Jesus Christ, will be returning to judge the apostate portion of Christian church (Mystery Babylon) and the secular world (Gentiles). We don't know the day or hour, but the signs of Mystery Babylon is already here. Apostasy is happening now, false prophets are here, false teachers are teaching false gospels due to the spirits of antichrists already being here. Witchcraft/sorcery/divination is in our churches and no one is really talking about it.

Prosperity gospel and other heretical gospels have many Christians in a snare. I grew up watching apostate preaching and thought that God blessed his beloved people with abundant wealth and worldly favor. Those TBN pastors were doing miracles, but I know it's all rooted in witchcraft. I'm now learning that it's a snare, and their deceptions are leading many people astray from the path of righteousness. I was one of them until divine intervention happened.

Before the day of the Lord Jesus comes, we will have to deal with the Great Tribulation period which happens right before His return (Read Matthew 24 which also alludes to Revelation 13:14).
