The Beast Has Awoken Part 1.
This is part 1 of the series on the Antichrist "The Beast Has Awoken" in this series I will include the facts on the Antichrist and the facts that he has awoken, let's begin............
Dan 7:7 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 ten horns.
Dan 7:8 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.
The fourth beast:"Antichirst" is a dreadful, horned beast, with one conspicuous horn. This beast in indescribable, and uniquely horrific in its power and conquest. The ten horns may actually be two five-pointed antlers, rather than ten separate horns. A little horn is conspicuous for its dominance, its intelligence, and its boastful talk. He will arise out of the Europeon Union due to the fact the Bible says he will rise out of the revived roman empire.....
The EU is Identical in land formations to the Roman Empire.
Dan 7:21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; Refer to Revelation 13:7 "It was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them."
Dan 7:23 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 tread it down, and break it in pieces
Dan 7:25 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. End of Part 1 more to come

The Beast Has Awoken Part2.
This is part 2 of the series and it's entitled: 'The Antichrist confirms the covenant.........It all begins"
Now the world is in such termoil it seems like WW3 is near but,
we will soon find out that in a sudden BANG! World Peace.
This is soon to be fullfield
Dan.9: 27. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
The prince to come, the antichrist, will make a seven-year covenant with "the many." This accord involves more than the Jews - it is also with their enemies. It is interesting to me to watch leader after leader try to broker a peace deal in the Middle East. While I would love to see peace in the land of Israel, when a man finally manages to do it, he is the antichrist. True and lasting peace will only come in the Millennial Kingdom under Jesus Christ.
This seven years is the final week, the 70th week, that we commonly refer to as the Tribulation. That seven year period that most of the book of Revelation is centered around.
The key to understanding this 70 weeks, then, is realizing that from the time that Messiah was cut off until the time that the antichrist rises to power, the clock is not ticking. There is a parenthesis in God's plan for Daniel's people that we call the church age. For the last 2,000 years, God has had His thumb on the stopwatch of Israel's countdown while He saved us, making the Jews jealous of our relationship with Him (Rom 10:19).
A Stop To Sacrifice
Notice that the antichrist will break this covenant himself after just 3 1/2 years by putting a stop to the sacrifice. This tells us that during this final seven years, a temple will be standing in Jerusalem. (This is the same temple that John was told to measure in Revelation 11.)
At the midpoint of this seven year period, the antichrist will commit the "Abomination of Desolation." Jesus referred to this, telling the Jews of the last days,
Matt. 24:15-22 "Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; let him who is on the housetop not go down to get the things out that are in his house; and let him who is in the field not turn back to get his cloak. But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babes in those days! But pray that your flight may not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath; for then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall. And unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days shall be cut short.
Paul told the Thessalonians that during this event, the antichrist...
2Ths. 2:3-4 ...opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.
On that day, a terrible persecution will break out against the Jews. Those in Judea will flee into the wilderness and be protected by God for the final 3 1/2 years (Rev 12:6; 12:13-16). Those who live in the rest of the world will not be so fortunate, as the antichrist makes war with the Jews and those people that will have come to faith in Jesus Christ over the previous 3 1/2 years.
Much of this prophecy given by Gabriel to Daniel has been fulfilled. The stage is set for the rest of it to come to pass. I firmly believe that the church age is rapidly coming to a close, that the church will be raptured, and that stopwatch will resume its count - ticking away the final seven years God has appointed to accomplish His purpose for the Jews. We live in exciting times.
