Do not forsake meeting together: Hebrews 10:25 (NIV)

Guard against deception: Matthew 24:46 (NIV)
Dont be alarmed! Spirit of fear
Keep your eye on Israel. Zechariah 2:8
Guard your soul against weariness

Daniel 7:25 (NASB95)

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 (festivals and holy days) and in law;
and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time Strategy of the
Antichrist in the Last Days
1. Speaks out against the Most High
2. Wears down the saints of the Highest One
3. Intends to alter the times given in the law: (festivals and holy days) set aside by
God.
4. Persecutes the church.
FIRST: How will he effectively speak out against the Most High?
Answer: Openly attack the covenants of God. WHY?
Marriage covenant
New Covenant
Old Covenant
What makes this strategy so effective? Hebrews 6:15-19: These covenants are our
hope an anchor for the soul that is firm Amos 8:11-12: The days are coming,
declares the Sovereign Lord, when I will send a famine through the land-not a famine
of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. People will
stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east searching for the Word of the
Lord, but they will not find it.
SECOND: Wears down the saints of the Highest One:
The Antichrist knows that if he can wear you down it will steal your dreams, drain your
strength, and rob you of your joy! Worse yet it can make you bitter in your soul
Job 10:1 (NIV) I loathe my very life; therefore I will give free rein to my complaint and
speak out in the bitterness of my soul.
Job 10:1 (KJV 1900) My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon
myself; I will speak in the
bitterness of my soul.
Philippians 4:8 (NIV)
POINT: The Antichrist knows that a weary complaining soul will eventually doubt the
integrity of God and His Word. Instead of sowing into the Kingdom of God, the soul that
is weary will sow to the flesh in an attempt to find pleasure and relief from the burdens
they carry. The flesh will then control the soulthe mind, will and emotions.

Galatians 6:79 (NIV)

KEY: Its important that you see a time of Harvest; a time of reaping the good things
you have sown. You need to experience those GOOD DAYS.those peaceful restful
days to restore your soul. If you dont your soul will become weary

What Should I do to Prepare for the Return of Christ?
Daniel 7:25 (NASB95) He will speak out against the Most Highand wear down the
saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times (festivals and
holy days) and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a

Strategy of the Antichrist:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Speak out against the Most High

Wear down the saints of the Highest one
Make alterations in times and in law
Persecution of the saints

THIRD STRATEGY: Alterations in Times and in Law

Leviticus 23:4 (NASB95) These are the appointed times of the LORD, holy convocations
which you shall proclaim at the times appointed for them.
These appointed times are marked by:
1.
2.
3.
4.

The gathering of communities, families and friends.

Established traditions that link the generations.
Honoring God for His provisions.
The natural cycle of life. (winter, spring, summer, fall)

FOURTH STRATEGY: Persecution: (Spirit of Fear will fill and drive the hearts of men).
2 Timothy 1:7 (HCSB) 7
For God has not given us a spirit of fearfulness, but one of power, love, and sound
judgment.
The spirit of fear will drive the soul to:
1. Doubt Gods power
2. Question His love
3. Lack soundness of the mind
A spirit of fear drives youthe Spirit of the Lord guides you: Romans 8:15 (NIV) 15 The
Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the
Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, Abba,
Father.
How do we care for our soul?
1. Rest in your salvation; Know the ways of God.

2. Rest in your position; Cease striving

3. Rest in your identity; You are sealed by the Holy Spirit
