The following notes and excerpts are taken from the message delivered by Evangelist Neal Frisby. These excerpts do not represent all pertinent statements from the message.
Pg 5
Daniel is a book showing the Gentile Kingdoms and deals also with Daniel's people -- the Jew, the Hebrews. But it is a book of books! It's the Old Testament apocalypse.
It is a prophetic foreview of history -- 2500 years in advance. Right up until the age that we live in and terminated in Daniel's 70th week... finally at the end of time it's spotlighted right down at the end and you find this beast power in a sstronghold with a strange god. Daniel caught him in there in a vision -- and watch what was going on and the idols and whatsoever took place.
Now Daniel Chapter 2, it's Daniel's metallic image -- the composite man of different metals. Now these metals portrayed kingdoms that were to come and Daniel had the gift of interpreting visions. Nebuchadnezzar had the dream like vision. It's a composite man of many metals and it has symbols -- now animals and metals in the book of Daniel symbolize kingdoms that would rise and fall, rise and fall -- and then at the end of time come back together under the beast power.
Now, Daniel's people were in Israel -- Nebuchadnezzar, who God raised up to rule the world at that time, He went into Israel and took the children of Israel back [captive] -- the royal seed -- back to the land of Babylon, that they might help him. When he did, he had Daniel and the three Hebrew children and they were very wise, especially Daniel had a gift and power that was with him.
It was the captivity period of seventy years that Daniel and the children were in Babylon. That's when Nebuchadnezzar had this great dream of this huge image that he saw which was bright and the form was terrible thereof! That was, from where Daniel began to prophesy, it was the first kingdom Daniel saw -- but before this, were two more kingdoms that had gone off the scene and we'll go back and hook those on and then go right straight on out through history here.
Now out of the garden of Eden sprang forth what we would call a pre-history civilization. It was the Mesopotamian age that was flourishing during the time -- the antidiluvians, the age where the great flood came and the deluge carried them all away but Noah and his family. Then out of Noah's family there was Shem, Ham and Japheth -- cam forth Nimrod and Nimrod built the great tower of Babel that reached up into the heavens and their city of God. Then the Lord came down and confounded them and scattered them across the earth.
We begin to approach the first world empire -- Egypt, the empire of the Pharoahs was the first one. Then the next empire, it was down in the pyramidic age -- down at that time in there where they were at. Then the next one was the Assyrian kingdom, the empire with the capital of Nineveh then -- second world empire!
Now we approach the subject, Dnaiel, coming to the third world empire -- which was Babylon the head of gold! There in this particular kingdom is where the dream was given Nebuchadnezzar. Now that's two kingdoms prior to the four successive kingdoms that Daniel will see in this image that he will interpret. Then at the end of that there's one more, a religious kingdom of a state religion type and the government at the end of time.
Now this makes seven -- and the Book of Revelation, Chapter 17, 7-12, you'll find all seven kingdoms. And even the seventh is of the eighth and the eighth is of the seven -- which is the antichrist kingdom, the false kingdom.
Pg 7
Now we know in Revelation it depicts the woman upon the seven headed beast -- he's wounded and then he becomes the eighth head -- you read it in Chapter 17.
Now there's history, the two prior and then Daniel with the four successive kingdoms in a row. The last one was Rome -- the empire Rome, which gave way and it was still Rome and then it came back again.
Now Daniel told Nebuchadnezzar that God revealeth the deep and secret things, He knoweth what is in the darkness and the light dwelleth with Him. During the time that Nebuchadnezzar saw this great image whose brightness was excellent and a form was terrible -- it was awesome to him and he forgot the dream -- it was a vision dream and it troubled him. God took it from him and he didn't know what to do about it and he called all the wise men and all the astrologers and the soothsayers. They were dumbfounded and they couldn't even tell him what it was about.
Nebuchadnezzar wasn't balanced when it came to judgment and he told them if they didn't come up with something quick that he would cut them to pieces and make their houses dung hills. He meant what he said, he was an absolute monarch! The head of gold!
Then finally there was a man found called Daniel and he came in and he told Nebuchadnezzar -- but there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets and maketh known to the king what shall be in the latter days. Notice this prophecy -- the future events, the latter days.
Daniel 2:28-29
28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.
Nebuchadnezzar wanted to know what was in the future and God appeared to him. So Daniel the prophet, the Hebrew, talented of God and gifted beyond measure, began to speak and he told him.
Daniel 2:31-35
31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. 32 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, 33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. 34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. 35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
The Book of Daniel, almost every other chapter -- speaks of gold and silver, it speaks of precious things that the Bible gives.
Daniel showed an industrial age when he spoke of it coming and I will speak on the monetary changes -- currencies, the gold, the silver, the stronghold -- the beast powers and how they will operate this.
Right now, the lightning flashes of a new financial pattern right before us! Changes are coming in every direction -- the dollar seems to be stretched, artificially prices are being put up and up to keep a depression from their doors. They are frightened and they are working together.
Daniel gave the answer, he also showed the downfall. ...The black horse of the apocalypse rides with scales -- Revelation 6:5-6! And he begins to measure it out -- famine and desolations set in the last few years upon the earth.
Then Daniel showed him and he began to interpret world history in advance.
Daniel 2:37-38
37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. 38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold. (Nebuchadnezzar)
Pg 9
The third world empire -- the first from the visions of Daniel, Babylon.
Now the excellency of Babylon -- not even the pyramids hardly at the time overshadowed the great age of the golden head, where it was one of the seven wonders of the world -- the hanging gardens, the huge avenues. They lived within it and their great walls -- the river flowed through it, Euphrates. A vast outlay, grandiose and powerful.
Daniel said to him, Thou art this head of gold. Their empire vanished in the winds, but will return again under a new system at the end. He goes on and he says (verse 39) And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
Now the other kingdom, the inferior kingdom -- the breast and arms of silver was the Mede-Persian empire -- Darius and Cyrus -- the right hand being the Persian empire, the left hand being the Median empire -- the weaker. Now that's the arms of silver and the breast -- the dual empire and it came upon the scene also.
And then he saw another one and the belly and the thighs of brass -- this was the swift and fast moving Macedonian empire, Alexander the Great, the young general, conquered the world practically overnight -- conquest, leaped across the Hellespont -- demonic and powerful! They just fell one right after the other! He died at 32 years old, the world was in his hand -- crumbled!
Daniel, the Hebrew prophet, saw him coming swift and fast like a leopard moving -- he was also in this brass of judgment and thighs. He faded from the scene - drunken orgy -- gone! Military genius -- even today the strategem is used of Alexander the Great. His kingdom vanished! It was so vast that he put history ahead a thousand years in advance and there's more prophecy in the Bible concerning this man that had demonic powers to do these things.
Then came the legs of iron -- Rome! The ages of the Caesars raised up and Daniel the Prophet got to see it! It split right at the legs of iron and when it split, one went into the East Empire, one went into the West -- this was after Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar and the Caesar Empires at the time. And it bear rule over all the earth. Now about the time of Constantine when he made Christianity the state religion, was during the age of the Thyatira age -- the Pergumus age during that time is when the splitting began to take place here.
Now the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron -- Rome, pagan of the Caesars --- we mentioned.
Daniel 2:40-43
40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. 41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. 43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
At the end of time that iron went right straight down East and West, and right at the bottom in the toes a new element began to appear that Daniel saw -- clay. It was mixed with iron. That's your last kingdom on earth -- that's where your little horn stand up and those animals come down through there.
Those kingdoms come together under the antichrist -- the same thing can be seen in Chapter 13 of Revelation. But, they cannot stay together and at the end the clay is Communism and the kings of the East. They break from Babylon the successor to the old Roman Empire of the religious part there. All of the West break away -- the iron and clay cannot stand. Iron is religion and state, clay will be Communism and Orientals [China] -- and they erupt in Armageddon and a holocaust takes place. God stands before the beast and destroys it at that time -- down in Armageddon!
Remember that stone cut out of the mountain -- that's the one that Daniel saw at the end of time! He saw the face of God cut in stone. Somebody says, "You can't see the face of God!" You're a liar! Isaiah saw Him sitting on a throne high and lifted up! Isa. 6:1-10. You cannot look at God when fire's on His face! You cannot look at Him when He's a consuming fire -- He will consume you! But He can come in different forms and you can look upon God. Abraham stood right there with Him! John saw Him as a Jasper and a sardine stone against the rainbow like an emerald flashing, right out there. The stone that comes.
Pg 11
Now, the ten toes of the image represent the ten kingdoms at the end time. Now notice this, this means that there are ten kingdoms with clay and ten kingdoms with iron -- now here's a revelation. I was sitting there one day when the Lord -- I said, all these people said ten nations, ten toes -- the Lord said there's ten iron, ten clay -- that's twenty. See them running together down there. There's twenty there!
So you've got iron and you've got clay -- you've got ten iron and you've got ten clay. Up here at the top are the horns that destroy it at the end. Now we'll name the clay. The communist countries have already appeard in order -- this thing is getting in order! World trade is on the horizon! The commodity man that Daniel saw standing right here -- this great image that Daniel saw, the head of gold, silver, brass, right down to the iron and clay, right down to the bottom will come back together in Revelation 13.
Now that metal of the gold and silver and iron -- that's a concentration of wealth in those kingdoms. That's your concentration of wealth in there right down to the clay until they've sucked it all out of there and appears a great empire at the end of time. The animals rising and falling that Daniel saw -- rising and falling. Rev. 13 and 17, and Chapter 12 -- you can see part of it there, how they come back together.
Now here are your clay countries that Daniel saw -- Russia, East Germany, Czechoslovakia [now part of EU], Poland [now part of EU], Bulgaria [now part of EU], Romania [now part of EU], Hungary [now part of EU], Estonia [now part of EU], Latvia [now part of EU], and Lithuania [now part of EU]. There's your ten who will combine with power. Then of course there will be the Orientals, which will be with them in another covenant like in the East. Now, there are ten kingdoms of iron and Western Europe plays the roll here, Eastern Europe the other way with Russia -- Western Europe this way and the United States will also be in on a roll with Western Europe.
They're not yet under the control of the Antichrist completely, but there is to come a prince on the scene. Now we'll read those. NATO -- defense pact, the organization -- no doubt the forerunner -- or will lay right in there where this little horn will come from that we'll get into. Now the iron empire -- countries -- England, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, France, Holland, Luxemburg and West Germany. Possibly, no doubt, Ireland is there and tentatively -- now one of these countries may shift back and forth -- tentatively you have Spain and Sweden and possibly Switzerland. But I just named nine of them; there's only nine there now but one of those others will have to come in and be the tenth one.
Pg 12
Then you've got your ten iron countries, and you've got your ten clay countries. Western Europe - Iron, Eastern Europe - clay. That'll come together and form under these toes and an empire will be formed. And it's the successor to the old Roman Empire which went both east and both west according to the Britannica and also according to the Bible prophecy -- it's right down to the last power at the end of time.
There will be a man of consummate wickedness that will arise on the scene. He'll deceive the Catholics, the Methodists, the Lutherans, hell deceive all Christianity. He will be their guiding star. It's to watch all business men, factories, and industries -- craft will prosper at his look, industry sparkles! Watch and see him come at the end. There'll be famine, all kinds of things take place.
Daniel 2:44-45
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. 45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
It was THUS SAITH THE LORD! It shall come to pass! It will come to pass. Everyone knows that there's a mountain that's carved right into this Temple and it has a kingly face to it. You can get it and see it yourself. You can see a witness that God is giving the Gentile nations. [referencing the headstone mountain behind the Capstone Cathedral]
There's Daniel's prophetic foreview -- the great image that he saw with these kingdoms, the head of gold and right down the line.
In the scripture, the stone that was cut out of the mountain without hands, this is what comes down and the earth is filled full of the glory of the Lord.
Now that there is the kingdom of God. The mountain that speaks of the kingdom of God. All of this taking place, they're all gettiing ready to do something.
Pg 17
This is from an AP wire: The UN assembly is working on six problems -- mass poverty, population, food, energy, military expenditures and world monetary systems. They are working (now this is my quote) for a controlling system also a leader in NATO -- which is the common market countries I just named of Western Europe -- said they did not need another committee, but a super strongman to lift them up out of economic morass -- he said, send us such a man, be he god or devil, we will receive him.
They may not know it but it is from this area that a super leader is to rise -- the little horn, Rev. 13 and Daniel 7 gives you the picture there. Now twenty nations met with the United States here and the Lord bless America, she's going to make some moves that look good but won't turn out that way in the final end.
They all met together, twenty nations, on money and world trade. They're ruling out gold, they said, and they're going to float the currency -- now they're going to get in trouble. They're going to float this currency, they want it to finally, I guess, blow up in Armageddon. The inflation is becoming worldwide, unless a miracle takes place the dollar will be worth about 15 or 20 cents, and they're floating these currencies.
They can't use the gold because not enough of the countries have that kind of backing yet. So they put the gold in a stronghold, but yet they guard it. Why? You see, when the inflation -- when you're floating the currencies -- they've got away from the original of the Bible pattern. The inflation is getting worldwide and they don't know what to do with it.
What is inflation? It is simply taxes that should have been paid years ago by the government and are not paid and the government keeps adding it onto us. They've got 40 yeard debt they cannot even cover, so how are they going to destroy this inflation without setting up a new system!
A new financial pattern is coming. Inflation is taxes that should have been paid but they're not ans so the government continues each year. Artificially they're keeping the prices going up, once in a while they come down a little bit -- they go up higher and higher. Why? Because they know a depression could come, so it's what we call a depression in another way -- an inflationary depression. Which is the same thing but it takes a longer course for them.
Like a fellow said, if you want to get it over with, have your depression and you'll get it over with. This way they're going slower and slower. But God's going to get the gospel out! But there are financial trends coming and we'll be speaking more about the government is now wanting the American people to buy gold again. Now we'll get into this, and how idols will come upon the land and all the world -- fascinating!
So you see, something's taking place. When you have a ten dollar bill, it's ten dollars in debt -- that's why it won't buy anything. Pretty soon the ten dollars will flop down and it won't buy anything -- it's so in debt. When you've got twenty dollars, it's twenty dollars in debt. You see, it's getting less and less value. So now something's happening on the earth and by the Lord's power we find this man at the end of time in a stronghold! Brother, he's got all of the metal there; it's stacked up in there.
But we know this, as long as there is currency, use it. There will be one day -- a worldwide currency no doubt. But there will also be another way during the great Tribulation, where there'll be a mark issued there.
They're going to build some cities -- the United States is -- along the Suez canal and different places and I know the beast will control the power of treasures and trade worldwide. They're going worldwide trade too. He will have a spiritual headquarters -- this beast power -- and then he will also have a commercial headquarters, buying and selling.
Revelation 18:8 and on down and you'll begin to see how that's really coming -- they're burnt with fire at the end. Time is growing shorter and shorter.
During the days of Christ, He spoke that the Temple would be destroyed in Jerusalem and then they would be scattered into every nation. Forty years later, right to the time, Titus overfled the Temple. It caught fire and gold ran down between the cracks and all over the grounds the people perished from there -- fled. And the transition year of 40 years elapsed since Christ was on the cross -- and they were scattered into every nation.
Now toward the end of time there's to be another transition period. In 1946-48 the Jews, the Israelites -- Hebrews, began to go home. They became a nation and they started back after being dispersed. Now the gospel went from the Jews during that 40 year transitional period before to the Gentile. Now it's coming back from the Gentile over to the Jews -- pretty soon it will go back to them.
So 40 years from '46 and '48 would mak '86 & '88 and that 40 years transition period of the Jews being home and the promised land, the budding of the fig tree -- is out! I'm not predicting anything, but we do know this -- watch those days in the holocaust! Be careful, Armageddon is in there!
Editor's Note: See "This Generation's Predestined Decade"
Now the latter part of the '70's - '80's [2018 - 2028] -- God appeared to me, there will be people here in the early '80's -- He has already spoken that. But also, we know this, back behind that is what we call the Translation too, or it could be back and forth -- one way or the other. We're to watch the '70s even for the coming of the Lord -- each night we're to watch the Lord.
But the Lord told me that the latter part of the '70s and '80s in the early part would be events of such a nature that possibly people would not even believe if I was to tell them what was going to occur. Great holocaust and cataclysmic -- worldwide confrontations -- watch it as we gather up in there!
Editor's Note: See "News Events in Parallel to Scroll Statements"
I'm not trying to predict any certain date, I'm giving you a general season of some events that will take place. There are new systems coming, new type of trading. All of these systems are coming back together under Revelation 13 -- you can read it yourself.
Now, Daniel the Hebrew prophet also witnessed the sanctuary in Daniel's seventieth week, and he saw the Antichrist pollute it. He witnessed him on down through the chapters as he rose to power and at the end he's got everything in his hands.
Pg 20
In Chapter 8, the ram and the he goat and out of one of those partitions that split came forth a little horn and then Chapter 7 we're going to be on that in the next message.
The prophet saw at the end of time there will be a Jewish Temple. They will get their money, they've got much money of it now, but people all over the world will give them money. I have some interesting articles to share when I preach on the Jewish Temple that will come and the abomination of desolation upon the earth from these beast powers -- but God will stand with the Hebrews at the end of time they will know their Messiah, those that God has called.
Daniel was standing there and he saw before him -- 2500 years in advance portrayed and interpreted right up until Daniel's seventieth week it terminates at the end of time. In the next message, we go into the different animals that symbolize kingdoms and come right straight down and we get even a better look -- that you know where you stand and a deep mystery from God as He begins to bring this out.
There's not much time to work for God. The thing to do is seek God and His kingdom and all these things shall be added.
We're going into, as I spoke, a world change -- Europe and Russia -- all that's been prophesied on my Scrolls has come to pass and the United States will also be in agreement. There will be two gentlemen that rise on the scene. Europe will get the answers to their cry -- a strongman will step forth -- fascinating, a bewitching spellbinder -- lamb-like qualities at first and he'll be just like a dragon.
The United States -- they'll get the answers to their prayers, there's a personality that's going to step forth -- you watch and see. Then of course, God will have men in Russia and Israel too, that will be in there in a three way or four tieup. We're coming to the end of the age, there's no way out of it. Like I say, he'll come in just like -- you've heard the classic story, believe it is by Robert Louis Stevensen -- I believe it was the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde -- he'll come in like Jekyll did, peacemaker sort of like fellow wanting to help somebody. But he'll go out like Mr. Hyde, he'll go out as a madman.
In the height of his madness, we see him in chapter 28 of Ezekiel and also in the end of the Book of Daniel. It's not the same personality as they see at first, there's a change that comes. The Bible shows you in Chapter 13 what happens when the beast from the bottomless pit enters this personality upon the world. The people are going to see a vast change. Everything now is getting ready; the whole earth is coming together.
Pg 21
I will predict this, that there will be idols in America before the end of time and they will worship them. They will have their gold and silver idols and brass. All over in Europe and the Orientals they will worship idols again before the end of time. Paul the Apostle spoke of Diana the Goddess, I believe it was, and the huge temple in Ephesus where during the age of the Church Ages where the abominable things took place. Where actually the Church was used as a house where harlots were in the corners and the homos and the lesbians -- all of these things in dark corners that Paul spoke about.
Then at the time of the end -- what Paul saw will appear again and they'll have it right in many of the Churches. We're at the end of the age. God is warning His people, pulling them together that they may join in the Spirit.
Lord, I want you to reach out and touch everyone of them that has this message. Touch them and bless their hearts and guide them to see the events that are going to take place. Prosper and let health be with them. heal, Lord God, and bless their souls. Amen!
Pg 22
Jesus, You brought this message -- it was in destiny that you bring it at this exact hour. When the Hebrew prophet came to Babylon -- 70 years of captivity- he saw all these visions in the Book of Daniel and interpreted them. He had exact time when He went there and you've got an exact time to reveal the things that Daniel himself even said he didn't understand all of it.
You told him, "Seal up the Book, Daniel, even until the time of the end. When they run fast like lightning in automobiles and airplanes -- it will be revealed. He said knowledge shall increase and they'll run to and fro -- it means the same thing -- run to and fro. It will be revealed, all of it. Daniel understood much of it, but he couldn't understand all of it.
