Pastor Ray Bentley says we can learn a lot about Bible prophecy by considering the customs of ancient Jewish weddings. Remember this story of the ten virgins? Five were wise, five were foolish, five had oil to watch through the night. Five didn't have enough oil. They had to go get some. And they missed the moment when the wedding was to begin. So all of these stories and all of these parables have meaning that comes from that original Jewish wedding spread.

Let me put it in. In simple language. Sin doesn't work. It deceives. It tricks. When you say, oh, I'm trapped. I don't like this anymore. It laughs at you as you go down the tubes. Pastor Ray Bentley on sin versus righteousness. Sin doesn't work. Righteousness and walking with God fulfills every dream and desire of your heart. Look, nobody wants you to be more happy, more in love, more filled with joy, and more filled with peace than your father in heaven spread.

Babylon is not the only name of an ancient city, but Babylon is also a symbol of mankind's rebellion against God. Pastor Ray Bentley comments on the biblical destruction of Babylon. Whatever it is that does in the end destroy this city in one day and one hour. The fact that it is destroyed in a moment gives those who observe it pause.

Pastor Ray Bentley points out, during the Great Tribulation, politics overtakes religion, and the Antichrist overtakes it all at that time when that happens. One of the things that makes the Great Tribulation so horrific and terrible is that Satan will be allowed to have more control over the earth than he has ever had before, but God is watching it, overseeing it, limiting it, and ultimately using it to spread.

Pastor Ray Bentley says in the last days, world religions began to homogenize and blend together. The Antichrist is in that he is part of it and uses religion to gain the trust of the world. But listen, when she is no longer necessary, he will consume her. Ultimately, Paul the Apostle wrote that the Antichrist will present himself as a God, and he will do so in a rebuilt temple of Jerusalem

Pastor Ray Bentley points out, the Lord is coming back and he's not letting anyone or anything hold him back. There is nothing that the world can do to stop my kingdom from coming or answering the prayers of my children. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. The devil can't stop me. The Antichrist can't stop me. The beast can't stop me. Mystery Babylon can't stop me. I'm coming and my will shall be done. And that's it.

Pastor Ray Bentley says Babylon is a biblical story that stretches from the past, through the present to the future. This Babylonian religion that started in Babel and its tentacles grew into a world empire, still is in the world today and will still be present in the future. At the time of the coming of the Lord. This cultic religion and influence passed down from generation to generation, spread disease.

Revelation describes a great earthquake coming up today. Pastor Ray Bentley says it means Satan's kingdom is finished. This devastating earthquake will impact all the major cities of all the nations of the Earth, and it essentially means Satan's entire system is now judged by God. The whole thing just is collapsed by God and through this earthquake. Yeah. It's finished.

Coming up today, pastor Ray Bentley highlights number five of the seven bold judgments of the Book of Revelation. This Fifth Judgment is God pouring darkness on the kingdom of the beast. It seems to me that in this fifth bowl judgment that the Lord is saying to the world, you love darkness. Okay, then you can have it. You can have it literally.

Pastor Ray Bentley takes us to the time of the tribulation when Satan's kingdom is in peril. How do the forces of darkness respond during that time of the tribulation? The Antichrist church? He has to blame somebody because his empire is beginning to implode. And so he has a scapegoat. He says it's the followers of Jesus Christ, and he persecutes them, hunts them, haunts them, kills them and sheds their blood, and spreads disease.
