<TITLE>26. Par 254-265</TITLE>L-254 If we'd take the history, and go right back and show it, where the kings had fallen in Rome, since the Babylon kingdom.
 ... one is... (Nero)... and one is to come;... and he must continue a short space... (about six months when he comes.)
 And the beast... (Oh. Look at this. Now, the power is going to take the pagan place.) And the beast that was, and is not, even... is the eighth,... (now watch)... and is of the seventh.
You all know what a terrible king he was. He hate... He hooked his mother to a single tree of a horse and drug her through the streets, and set the city a fire, and fiddled up on the hill. That's the same kind of a spirit that's dominating the church that sets in the place of pagan. "The eighth, which is of the seventh. And then he is, and is not; and is, and is not; and is, and is not," on down.
 ... and goeth into perdition.
Plumb till the time of the coming of the Lord and he's cast into hell.
 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdoms as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
Oh, if we just had... "Received no power as yet." They're not kings. They didn't have... They ten... The horns didn't have crowns. "They received power like kings." What is it? Dictators; not crowned kings, dictators. Oh, my.

L-259 Now... Oh, when I read this, sometime my heart leaps for joy (all right), when I think of how that we're living here in the last day.
 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength to the beast.
 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them.
There comes the battle of Armageddon; ready for the Millennium.
 For he is the Lord of lord, and the King of king... (Don't be shook up)... and they that are with him are called, the chosen.
Not you, He has. You got the Holy Ghost, you ought to shout victory. God chose you before the foundation of the world. If you can't see Gospel Light, it's because you--you're just blind.
 ... chosen, and faithful.
 And he said unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sits, are peoples,... multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
In other words, this woman setting here, the church, is going to give out her doctrine to every people, multitude, and tongue. There she is. She has rule over them. She's setting over them, the power dominating them. She's setting on seven hills, clothed in scarlet, decked the richest in the world. There she is.
 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall...
Watch now, you're coming into the powers of communism.
 ... these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
 For God has put into their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God be fulfilled.
Hallelujah. Heavens and earth will pass away, but God's Word will never pass. Look.
 ... the woman which thou sawest... the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

L-265 Show me one city in the world that's reigning over the kings of the earth, and of the--in any way that you want to, outside of the Catholic hierarchy in Rome, setting on seven hills. Not one city, and never was, and never will be, outside of the New City that come from heaven. That's right.
