• “King” exalts self above everything and blasphemes God.
• Cultural heritage in nations around the globe are disregarded by the “king”.

It exalts itself above everything and blasphemes God. 
“And the king will do according to his will; and he will exalt himself and magnify himself above every god and will speak marvelous things against the God of gods and will prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that which is determined will be done.” Daniel 11:36

The “king” is not a single human being. If that were the case, the global government and its global culture would not last beyond the life term of one person. Certainly, the opening of the Seven Seals, the events of the Seven Trumpets, and the events of the Seven Plagues are not going to happen within 100 years. “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9

The “king” will do according to his will, meaning he will do whatever he wants to do. Today, this is the one that has power over physiology to govern through what people speak, do, think, and feel. This is the power behind the global government and its global culture. Those who govern and live for this “Vile Person” boasts, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Revelations 13:4. Another translation of this verse is, “We see!“, “We know“, or “You are not going to be” etc. The ” Vile Person” is described in the posts on Daniel 11:21-24 which describes the “king” of this post.

This “king” sits in the temple of God, our body, as if he is God, through the thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors of people everywhere. He exalts and magnifies himself above every god. This “king” is also known as the “man of sin” “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Click here for a post on the “man of sin”.

The “king” exalts himself above every god, which would include politics, national constitutions, any religion, or anything else that individuals or nations use to give direction in their life. This is the essence of the global constitution, created for every nation to live by, to develop their pledges of allegiance to, and the source of “national” anthems.

This “king”, this “Vile Person”, speaks marvelous things against the God of Jesus Christ. This is happening as we hear global, national, and local leaders speak of how an earthly Garden of Eden will be created. This is seen through the “Sustainable Development Goals” of the United Nations. At the same time, those same leaders discourage belief in God, silence the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and fight against the presence of the Holy Spirit. “And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.” Revelation 13:5 The following verse is also spoken against those seeking an earthly Garden of Eden while opposing the Creator, “A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns; the land is like the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; surely nothing shall escape them.” Joel 2:3

The “king” will prosper until the indignation is accomplished. The indignation is the judgment of God on this earth that comes within the events of the Seven Trumpets of Revelation 8, 9, and 11, and the events of the Seven Plagues in Revelations 16. In other words, the “Vile Person” reigns on this earth until the return of Jesus Christ, “Normal Isn’t Coming Back, Jesus Is”. The beast rules on this earth for “42 Months”, as described in the post on Revelations 13:5-6.

“Neither will he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he will magnify himself above all. But in his estate will he honor the god of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not will he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. Thus, will he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he will acknowledge and increase with glory: and he will cause them to rule over many and will divide the land for gain.”” Daniel 11:37-39

The “king” has total disregard for the cultural heritage of countries around the world, forefathers [founding fathers] mean nothing. Nothing is held sacred to this “Vile Person”. His only concern is to create a global culture, a global heritage, through the nations united within the assembly of the United Nations. Today, people who welcome the “Vile Person” are influenced by the thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors given to them. They have total disregard for the cultural heritage of the country they live in. They hold nothing sacred and are those who protest and riot to force changes that empower the goals of the United Nations to create a global culture, a global heritage, a new world order.

He disregards the “desire of women” which means to be hardened to the feminine nature. Feminine qualities were used to offer goodwill, kindness, love, peace, gentleness etc. to others. This is described in Daniel 11:16 and Daniel 11:17 of the post on Daniel 11: 5-20. This use of the female nature was in place of the Holy Spirit who offers the fruit of the Holy Spirit to us today. Today, the “king” is the one who is hardened against the Holy Spirit, blasphemes the Holy Spirit. He magnifies himself above all.

In place of each nation’s cultural heritage, a global god of forces will be honored, a god whom the forefathers of countries across the globe never knew. The “forces” refer to relying on earthly strength, power, and might while hardening the fruit of the Holy Spirit and considering it to be a weakness to live for Jesus Christ, and a crutch to believe in God. This describes today’s culture like looking into a mirror. They serve the “king” that replaces the spirit and conscience while opposing the presence of the Holy Spirit. In the hardness of that spiritual sand, the “king” governs by giving people what to speak, do, feel, and think. In that, the image of the beast is given life to speak and live through people in every city around the world. People everywhere are being groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do.

Never ever in the history of humanity has any forefathers in any nation around the world been exposed to the one that has power over physiology to give people their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. This is the god that the global government and its global culture serve.

The god of today’s culture is honored with gold, silver, precious stones, and pleasant things. In other words, the earthly things of this world are of more value to the global culture than the value of the Spirit. They serve the creation and creature rather than God the Creator. Because of their honor for the god who gives them earthly pleasures and material enrichment, they oppose God the Creator, scoff at the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and fight against the presence of the Holy Spirit. This is happening in the strongholds of Supreme Courts, Congresses, offices of the President, Pentagons, etc. as governments across the globe focus more on economic prosperity than they do in God or any cultural god.

National governments across the globe acknowledge the god of this world by what they are given to say and do. They increase the glory of that god, that has power over physiology, by focusing on social and economic goals instead of dedicating themselves as the temple of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ. They participate in ushering in the global government of the beast and in grooming their populations to the character of the global culture. That character being to honor the “god of forces, silver, gold, precious stones, and pleasant things.”

Those who choose to live for the “Vile Person” who gives them what to speak, do, think, and feel, will be given to “rule over many” and the land across the globe will be divided among them for the gain of the global government. Those of today’s culture, which is global, are given the authority to rule because the “king” empowers them with uncanny authority over others. They are those with uncanny knowledge, extraordinary skills and talents, heightened intuition, amazing physical abilities and accomplishments, convincing emotional responses etc. They are those who possess property as if they own it. As the global culture rules and possesses the land, all they have is in the control of the “Vile Person” who empowers them to rule and to possess. The gain is to the “king” of the global government who governs through the global culture in cities around the world.

Everything spoken above about disregarding the forefathers and dividing wealth and property to the global culture is described in the post on Daniel 11:24.

“Forasmuch as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot…” 1 Peter 1:18-19

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
