Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Daniel 2:31-33
Now we see these feet here – it’s a giant like a big warrior. It’s a frightening image.. not something pleasant to look at – it’s intimidating. It speaks of power, control.. However it has weakness.. it’s legs of iron.. it’s feet part iron and part clay. And we all know that iron and clay do not mix. ‘ The Beast Is Rising. ‘
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. Daniel 2:34-35
A Seared Conscience
What is the nature of a beast? It’s actions are quite different to human beings.. Beasts do not have a conscience unlike we do because we’re made in the image of God. What did the Apostle say would happen to the conscience of man (Romans 1) in the last days? It would become seared..
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness.. Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. Romans 1:21-25
The Amoral Heart Of The Beast
..So he’s going to take on a beast like spirit. He’s suppressing his conscience, he no longer wants to retain God in his heart mind and conscience. Because a creature doesn’t have a conscience therefore it doesn’t have morality. It doesn’t consider moral issues. The beast system that is arrising will have no consideration of morality.. morals will go. That’s the nature of a beast..
The Territorial Predator
..A beast is also a predator.. it will kill and not consider who it kills in order to survive. Does that not sound like the very Devil himself.. murderer thief – a liar? .. Because he’s a predator.. territorial – he wants control – and you see that in the animal kingdom. You definitely see it amongst lions. You know that lions will fight in order to take on the new Pride. They are very territorial for a Pride.. ..

Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellers, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellers, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages, That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up. And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. Daniel 3:1-7
Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
2Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
