Episode 24 — The Death and Resurrection of Our World

In this gripping episode of Tectonic Ministries, we’re joined by special guest Mark Johnston from Game Changer Intensive as we tackle one of the most pressing spiritual issues of our time: What happens when mankind replaces God with the State?

We explore the prophetic significance of Daniel 7, examining the identity and nature of the Fourth Beast—a dreadful, powerful force symbolizing a godless, global system of control. Could this be a prophetic image of modern-day communism, authoritarianism, and the persecution of the saints?

🔍 Key themes explored:

How God’s original design for leadership and dominion has been corrupted (Genesis 1:26–28)

The moral imbalance of modern society: protecting turtle eggs, ignoring unborn children

The rise of the beast: a look at Daniel 7:9–28 and how it parallels Revelation 13

The iron teeth and global dominion of the beast (Daniel 7:7, 23)

The persecution of God’s people and the endurance of the saints (Daniel 7:21, Revelation 13:7)

Why God allows the beast to reign for “a time, times, and half a time” (Daniel 7:25, Revelation 12:14)

📖 Key Scriptures:

Daniel 7:9–28 – The Ancient of Days, the Fourth Beast, and the saints receiving the kingdom

Genesis 1:26–28 – God gives man dominion, not the State

Revelation 13:5–7 – The beast’s war against the saints

Psalm 2:1–4 – The nations rage, but God laughs from heaven

Matthew 24:22 – “Unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved…”

🔥 Main message:
Though the beast may rise and the saints be tested, God has already set the end. His judgment will be final, His kingdom eternal, and His saints victorious. Let this be a wake-up call: discern the signs, hold fast to the truth, and remember—Jesus is Lord, and His return is near.
