SPIRITUAL DAIRY FOR
10/03/2005
My Worship Time Focus: Antichrist’s subordinates
Bible Reading &
Meditation Reference: Revelation 17:12-13
Message of the verse: “12
"The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet
received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one
hour. 13
"These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to
the beast.”
It seems
that Antichrist will have ten kings who will be under him, and these will rule
ten parts of Antichrist’s empire. There
has been some thought that these kings will rule different parts of the old Roman Empire, but others have divided up the entire world
into ten parts with each of these kings ruling one part. Verse 13 speaks of these ten kings being completely
under the authority of Antichrist. As
far as the “one hour” from verse 12, it seems that this means the 3 ½ years of
the tribulation period, or it could mean for the whole 7 years.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: These verses say to me that God is in
control, and even though these times that are written about will be very
difficult for mankind, yet God has His purpose in doing all of this. In the same way as I go through these
difficult days filled with trials that do not seem good to me God surely has a
plan in mind for all of this and perhaps some day I will understand it all.
The Word of God was very challenging to my heart as I read
it this morning.
My Steps of Faith
Today: Continue to trust the Lord as
I go through a very down time in my life, that He will lift me up out of the
miry mud and set my feet upon the firm Rock of the Lord.
