Rabbi Schneider - The Chaotic 'Order'
Globalism is in the making. In an effort to control the world's response to things like pandemics, social injustice, the problems that we face today to protect the planet's resources, they're going to think that the answer is in globalization, a one-world government, which will remove all borders, dissolve national borders. Socialism will replace communism. Individualism will yield to the collective whole. Father God will be replaced with Mother Earth. Protecting the planet, protecting our resources, curing social injustice, saving people in poverty. These are all good goals. But the problem is, man's attempt to solve these problems are only another attempt at building a Tower of Babel.
In the latter time, the latter period of time, when the transgressions have run their course... Remember, I was sharing with you that transgressions must run their course. The Bible tells us in the book of Revelation, let him that is filthy still be filthy, and let him that does wrong still do wrong. Why would God tell us that? Because the world has to come to a place where it's so filthy and so defiled that an Antichrist can emerge, and Jesus is not going to come back to earth and turn this world into the kingdom of God until the Antichrist is revealed. And so when the transgressions or the transgressors have run their course, this period that must happen, a king will arise.
The world is so confused right now. A king will arise, insolent and skilled in intrigue. His power will be mighty, but not by his own power. And he will destroy to an extraordinary degree and prosper and perform his will; He will destroy mighty men and the holy people. That's what we're experiencing right now. "And through his shrewdness he will cause deceit to succeed by his influence; and he will magnify himself in his heart, and he will destroy many while they are at ease. He will even oppose the Prince of princes, but it would be broken without human agency".
The vision of the evenings and the mornings, which has been told is true. And then the Lord said to Daniel through the angel, "But keep the vision secret, for it pertains to many days in the future". Look at the corresponding scripture in Revelation 6. "Then I saw when the lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with the loud thunder, 'Come.' I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he went out to conquer". And was conquering. This is what Daniel saw, this king arising, this false white horse.
"And the earth will worship. And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore... And I saw one of his heads as it had been slain, and his fatal wounds was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast; all who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life and of the Lamb who has been slain. If anyone has an ear to hear, let him hear".
As this demonic influence continues to ascend and gain ascendancy, a ruler will emerge that will be anointed by this power of darkness. And this ruler will then consolidate power. This is hard for us to imagine in some ways because we've never experienced it before. But we're starting to feel how it could happen, how a totalitarian regime could surface. It's happened at other places on the planet many times before. It happened in Nazi Germany when they were a desperate people, when the Germans had lost World War I and their spirit was broken, they were demoralized, and they were facing economic crisis due to all the war reparations they had to pay.
And in that time of desperation where they were just so defeated looking for an answer, it was ripe for someone like Hitler to emerge that first promised peace, and yet look what he did. He took total control and killed anybody that opposed him and tried to take over the world. That's not the only time something like this has happened. The same thing happened in Cuba when Fidel Castro rose to power. They were suffering terribly under a dictator. And Fidel Castro arose as one that was going to give freedom to the people. And at first he seemed to do that, but in the end, he took a tighter grip on the country than the previous dictator ever did. This is where we're heading.
I believe the political atmosphere in the country is of thus a nature right now, where the country that's in power will try to completely silence those that are in opposition. And it's not easy as we think about where things are headed, how a political leader could emerge in our country, and we run into another global crisis of some sort, some type of crazy pandemic again, some type of crazy problem in our banking system, something that happens with a cyber-attack, some type of global problem that hits us. And in order to gain control, the leader which seek to consolidate power and cause everybody to take an identification that the Bible calls the mark of the beast.
If someone breaks in, for example, to the banking system, if someone breaks into our technology, our internet technology, and begins to hack people's bank accounts, begins to break into the banking system, it's conceivable how someone could say the way to solve this identity theft, if you will, and it's a massive problem already, is by having people identify themselves by a chip that's inside and under their skin, that's a one-of-a-kind chip. We're already becoming a cashless society. And then no one's gonna be able to participate in the economic system, or in the healthcare system, or travel to another country. We've already seen some of these things. Are you guys following me? Without some type of chip, it's already being produced in Switzerland. It's the size of a grain of rice. And it's already happening.
Of course, it's been happening in pets for a long time. This may seem far away, but the world is moving towards a global reset that will result in a new world order at lightning speed with a one-world government. "He causes all the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the freemen and the slaves to be given a mark..." Kind of like the vaccine was a prelude to what that was. Unless you get the vaccine, you can't go to the restaurant, you can't fly on planes, you can't go to school. Many, many people lost their job. They lost their economic living because they didn't get the vaccine. "...to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or sell except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name". "Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is 666".
And now's the time when things are shifting. There's going to be a new world order out there.
And this new world order will be an order that will particularly hate Israel, as Israel has been called of God to be a unique people from the very beginning. Remember Daniel. He wouldn't eat what the nations told him to eat. He was true to his God and true to being a unique culture. The Jewish people were called to think differently, eat differently, act differently, dress differently. They had their own unique language. And because of their uniqueness and clinging to their uniqueness, they became a target of hatred for the world, fueled by the energy of the demons of darkness. And as the world continues to evolve into this deception, this new world order, a particular pressure will be put upon Israel.
I was watching just the other day an interview on 60 Minutes, perhaps some of you saw it, I believe it was just last week, and I've of course researched other venues as well, of this hatred of Israel, this lack of acceptance of Israel as a nation, even in many countries that are part of the United Nations, that they never should have been given the right to have their own country in an area that had been inhabited by the Palestinians. And you see even from the Biden administration, this anti-Israel mindset, this trying to cause Israel to give up their land, to go back to pre-border systems where they give back their land to the Palestinians. And every time Israel has done that in the past, as many of you know, I know I'm preaching to the choir, it's never paid off.
There was never more peace. This hatred amongst the nations towards Israel, the news clips that show Israel out of context mistreating Palestinians, and that happens, I'm sure. There's been abuses, no question about it. But most often, the news clips are not telling the whole story. They're showing Israel did what they did because they were first provoked. They had to protect themselves. They had to retaliate because they were attacked first. But that's not what the world is saying. They're just seeing Israel, the big bad guy, picking on the Palestinians. For years, the leaders of Iran have been calling for the destruction of Israel, and their posture has not changed. They don't believe, even today, that Israel has a legitimate right to the land. They believe that they're living on Palestinian lands and that the Palestinians should be in control, that Israel has no right to that land. And the nation that has said on that more than any other is Iran.
And you know what? Iran either has a nuclear weapon or they're this far away. And let me say that when you are being overpowered by a giant, you will not hesitate to use whatever means is available to you. You don't play fair. Why did why did these terrorists do what they did to America? Why did they bomb the World Trade Center. People say, well, that's why. How could they do that? How could they play so unfairly? They can't win playing fairly. They're grieved. They're upset. They're mad at America. They feel like America has intervened and interfered in their politics. They feel that America has exercised control over their country. They're enraged. They can't fight America in a boxing ring one-to-one. They can only do what they did, use terrorism. And you have a country like Iran that realizes that they're not a global power, but they have a nuclear bomb. Only God knows what they might be willing to do, especially when they believe if they die they're just going to go meet Allah and have a hundred virgins.
One of Iran's top advisers has claimed the country is capable of building a nuclear bomb. The adviser has said the country is currently enriching uranium up to 60%, could easily produce 90% enriched uranium.
Our government is saying, some sources, that they're weeks away from having an atomic bomb, a nuclear bomb. The destruction of Israel, the hatred towards Israel will continue to escalate. "Behold," the Lord said before He established His kingdom in the earth, "I'm going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all the peoples around; and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against Judah," Jewish people in general. "For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished, and half the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city".
Prophets have been prophesying the greatest revival that the world has ever seen is coming upon us. How many have heard that before? Should have come a few years ago. And I've been places where they got the maps. How many of you have been places where they got the maps, where the revival is going to start in the United States? It's going to start right over here in this location, over there, down there in Western Kentucky. No, it's gonna start down there in Louisiana. No, it's gonna start over there in the Atlanta area. How many of you guys have been exposed to this before? They've been saying this for years. "The greatest revival the world has ever seen is coming. Coming"!
I don't see any scriptural support for that at all. They take it on one scripture, the latter reign. That is not a strong foundational scripture for prophesying that the greatest revival the world has ever seen is coming, that the latter reign will be greater than the former reign. That is not a scripture that you can take to the bank that is speaking of a last worldwide revival. In fact, I don't see scripture teaching that at all. I'm not saying it can't happen. I'm just saying I don't see that in the Word of God. Instead, what I find is Jesus saying in Luke 18:8, When the Son of man returns, will He find faith on earth? Those are Yeshua's words, not Mickey Dole's over there at the gospel house.
Here's where things are going as we begin to close tonight. What's the end of this chaos? Here's where things are going as we begin to close tonight here shortly. Once again, Daniel. Yeshua quoted Daniel, by the way. When His disciples asked Him, "What are the signs of the end and when will your kingdom come"? Jesus said, "As the prophet Daniel said". So Yeshua referenced Daniel to teach when he was on earth when the end would come and when would be the time of His coming. Daniel say, "As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise, and another will rise after them and he'll be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings".
So you've got these nations that come to power, then you've got three distinct nations that are the leaders of the nations, and then out of these three, you have one that emerges as the world-governing leader. "He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and a half". So what the scripture tells us is going to happen is that a world leader is going to arise and power is going to be given to him, and he's going to wear down the saints. "He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the highest one, and he will intend to make alterations in time and in law; and they will be given into his hand for time, times, and a half time".
And so this is where we're going. This is a sobering message. It might not necessarily encourage you today, but I'm not trying to encourage you. I'm trying to prepare you. "But the court will sit for judgment, and this dominion will be taken away, annihilated, and destroyed forever. Then the sovereignty, the dominion, and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High". Well, let's give them a shout today. "His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and the kingdoms will serve and obey Him".
Can we stand as we close today? What should we do about this? I mean, you've heard some pretty gloomy news today. I noticed that a lot of people that write these books on end-time prophecy, because they're people-pleasers and they want to be successful, they'll give you the bad word, but then they'll always try to give you a good word. How to encourage you, you know, how you can live in victory during this season. And basically what it amounts to is taking away from the truth of how difficult times are going to really be.
They just want to encourage people because they want people to like them and they want people to buy their books or listen to their messages. But the truth is, Jesus said, these things are going to happen. And when you see them start to happen, straighten up and look up for your redemption draweth nigh. Peter said, "Because you see what's going on, you need to restrain from indulging in worldly lust and from material things and from the things that are above the earth".
But instead, the scripture says, we should look for and hasten the coming day of the Lord. This is a time not to puff people up and not to speak fluff. This is a time for us to get ready. This is a time to be warm. This is a time to prepare ourselves for the difficult times that are to come so that we can be prepared to meet him at his return. The good news is, is that where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more, and His grace is sufficient. And we can live in intimacy, and we can live in victory. But times are gonna be tough. And if we're not strong now, how are we gonna stand when difficult times come? The time to get ready for the battle is not when you're in the battle, it's before the battle. I am here today to say, wake up and get ready.
