“And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth” (Isa.2:19). “And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit” (Isa.24:21-22). The picture of a stone (meteorite) hurtling from space is terrifying indeed, but nothing to compare with the second coming of the “Rock of Ages.” The period of Gentile world power is terminated by the return of Christ. After this we see Christ’s kingdom established as symbolized by the mountain which fills the whole earth. A mountain is used elsewhere in Scripture to represent nations. Isaiah states: “And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it...And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people”(Isa.2:1-4). In Matthew’s Gospel chapters 24 and 25 we read that Christ will return immediately after the Tribulation, and one of the first things to occur will be the judgment of the living nations who survive the Tribulation. Those individuals who are saved will go alive into the millennial kingdom, but the unsaved will go away into everlasting punishment. The events will be as follows: “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened...and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory” ( Matt. 24:29-30). “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom”(Matt. 25:31-34). 61 The Times of the Gentiles
The Basics of Bible Prophecy The long-awaited kingdom of God will only be established when the Times of the Gentiles is fulfilled, when the nation of Israel repents of its rejection of Messiah during the Tribulation, and when Christ personally reigns over the earth. The “ten toes”, representing the “ten kings” who receive power with Antichrist, will be the last stage of the fourth Gentile empire to tread down Jerusalem. “And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever” (Dan.2:44). Daniel’s Dream - Daniel Chapter 7 The second outline of the Times of the Gentiles was given in a dream to Daniel. He saw four beasts coming up out of the great sea as the four winds of heaven “strove on the great sea” (the Mediterranean). The first beast was a lion with eagle’s wings, the second a bear with three ribs in its mouth, the third was a leopard with four wings and four heads, and the fourth beast was “dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth.” This fourth beast also had ten horns out of which came another little horn. The little horn plucked up three of those former horns. This “little horn” assumed human characteristics with “eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things”(Dan.7:8). Finally Daniel sees one like the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven, and to Him is given “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” (Dan. 7:14). The interpretation of Daniel’s dream is similar to that which we have seen in Daniel chapter 2. To Nebuchadnezzar it appeared like a glorious image, but to saintly Daniel, as viscious beasts. Our heart condition will always determine how we view the world scene! The ungodly will delight in the world’s glitter and glamour but the believer will see it as “vanity fair,” for the world system has no time for God and is passing away. Four Beasts from the Great Sea- The Mediterranean Daniel’s dream, like the dream of Nebuchadnezzar, describes the span of time from 606BC when Jerusalem was first trodden down by the Gentiles until the second coming of Jesus Christ, as shown in the 62
