“For a nation has come up against My land, strong, and without number; His teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the fangs of a fierce lion.” Joel 1:6
The nation which has come against God’s Kingdom, which is strong and without number, is the United Nations, which is the global culture of the beast. The nations of the world are of one mind through the agenda of the United Nations and have given their authority to the government of the beast, “For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.” Revelation 17:17 All the world lives for the innumerable global culture of the beast, except we who live for God through Jesus Christ, “All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:8 The “he” in the verse above refers to the beast behind the image and mark of the beast.
The global government of the beast and its global culture have teeth and fangs like a fierce lion. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” 1 Peter 5:8 They are fierce like a lion because they are under the influence of something non-spiritual and not natural to the human spirit. It gives people what to feel, think, say, and do as it enables the image of the beast to live and speak through the masses in every city around the world. People conform to the fiercely anti-Christian global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.
The fierce thing giving people what to feel and think is a lion devouring and replacing the human conscience. Because of the disappearance of the human conscience, traits of psychopathy flourishes around the globe. It causes people to thrive on the feeling of empowerment to exalt themselves above the authority of God. Its fierce teeth cause people to feel no remorse and no need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ. It is fiercely predatory as it sees the life of Holiness in the Holy Spirit as an easy target for a kill, manipulation, and domination.
The book of Daniel, Chapter 7, talks about the beast with iron teeth which devours and tramples on the residue of whatever is left of belief in God, belief in Jesus Christ, and life in the Holy Spirit. “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet.” Daniel 7:7 Click here for a post on Daniel 7 and the four Beasts.
The Holy Spirit speaks the following words to us,
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 5:8-11
“….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.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
