In this installment of his series, retired pastor Charles Douglas opens by briefly recommending RTN (a Christian TV/radio network offering music and Bible teaching) and then turns to the third theme: “The Beast to Come”—the Antichrist as the ultimate personification of false anointing under Satan. Framing the topic as a set of starter thoughts for personal or small-group study rather than an exhaustive end-times chart, he defines “antichrist” from John’s letters (as denial of Jesus’ true deity and true humanity), notes the recurring influence of deception (including a modern resurgence of gnostic-like distortions), and explains Satan’s work in terms of strategic (ultimate aim to exalt himself like the Most High) and tactical (ongoing preconditioning of minds through authoritative platforms—political, financial, and religious). Douglas then walks through key texts—especially Revelation 12–13, Daniel, and 2 Thessalonians—highlighting the beast rising from the turbulent “sea” of humanity and the dragon empowering him, the beast’s blasphemous self-exaltation and persecution of saints, and the coming certainty of Christ’s victory as King of kings. He also introduces the “second beast” (the false prophet) as a religious deceiver who performs signs to enforce worship, briefly weighs interpretive options around the “mortal wound” and the “image” (including but not limited to technological possibilities), and repeatedly emphasizes a sobering theme of divine sovereignty—the beast is “allowed” authority for a limited time—alongside a pastoral warning to stay spiritually alert, sober-minded, and grounded in Scripture amid accelerating deception.

How Much Must I Forgive
Is there a limit to forgiveness? How many times must a Christian forgive someone who continues to hurt them? Sandy Simpson addresses these difficult questions by examining Jesus’ teaching on limitless forgiveness and the dangers of keeping score. This lesson confronts the human desire for revenge and justice while pointing listeners to Christ’s example of mercy. Forgiveness, when practiced fully, dismantles bitterness before it hardens into a lifestyle of resentment.

Amos 5–6 — Seek God and Live!!
What does God actually want from His people? In Amos 5–6, the answer is not more empty ceremony, but genuine repentance and renewed devotion: “Seek Me and live.” Pastor Marco walks through Amos’s urgent call to abandon false confidence, religious performance, and self-indulgent ease—and to pursue the Lord with integrity, justice, and righteousness. These chapters confront the danger of loving comfort more than truth, and warn against a spiritual life that looks “fine” externally while collapsing internally. The invitation stands: seek God truly, and live—because life is found in Him, not in prosperity, appearances, or national pride.

He Changes the Times and Seasons: God’s Sovereignty Over History, Kings, and the Destiny of Israel 
 In this wide-ranging exposition anchored in Daniel 2:21, Jacob Prasch unfolds a biblical theology of history, arguing that God—not human rulers, ideologies, or institutions—ultimately governs the rise and fall of nations. Tracing Scripture alongside modern history, Prasch explains how God has repeatedly used even wicked leaders and catastrophic events—such as the Holocaust, World War II, and global crises—to accomplish His redemptive purposes, particularly in the restoration and preservation of Israel. Drawing extensively from Daniel, Isaiah 44–45, Ezra, Chronicles, and Revelation, he presents Cyrus the Great as a major Old Testament type of Christ and a model for how God can raise up unlikely, even secular rulers to bless Israel and fulfill prophecy. The teaching also confronts apostasy within institutional religion, the politicization of public crises, and the growing inability of governments to understand the spiritual forces shaping world events. The message concludes with a call for discernment: true wisdom and understanding do not come from politicians or global bodies, but from God alone, who gives insight to His people as history moves inexorably toward the return of Jesus Christ and the establishment of His everlasting kingdom.
