Oh let the Son of God and found you with his spirit and his life,

let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you

home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calbury Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today,

Pastor Chuck continues with the image of the beast as we pick up in revelation chapter 13 verse 15 and now with

today's message here's pastor Chuck now nebuecen asar was making a statement with this image why because he made it all of gold

that one Nebuchinezar are the head of gold God has given to you a kingdom and rain over the earth and all. But you're going to be

replaced. He is saying I'm not going to be replaced.

It would not be destroyed, it would not be overthrown.

It was a statement of contradiction to God's Word that declared that Babylon would be overthrown.

It was a statement of rebellion against God and people were

commanded to agree to that statement by bowing down and worshiping the image.

And you have that as a counterpart to this image being set up and everyone being ordered to worship this image and being put to death if they refused to

worship the image. You remember that right after that he went insane shortly after that and spent

seven seasons in insanity.
