Judah, Jesus, and Judah

The tribe of Judah is the most important of the 12 tribes. If you remember, the name Judah meant praise with outstretched hands.

Tonight, we embark upon a journey that will leads us to an understanding of that meaning.

There is something you must understand about the name Judah, and I am going to stay at the surface level on this because, believe me, we can dig slam down to China with it.

Judah, as a name, has in it in the Hebrew the four letters of the tetragrammaton.

The tetragrammaton is the four letters of the Hebrew alphabet that make up the ineffable, name of God.

Ineffable means too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words.God is ineffable. His greatness cannot be expressed in a name. In English, the tetragrammaton is composed of these four letters, YHWH.

The Jews considered this name for God to be unspeakable. In other words, neither who God is nor His greatness could be summed up in a name, especially the ineffable name, YHWH. This is why God said this to Moses.

Exodus 3:14–15 “And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “This is what you shall say to the sons of Israel: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ” God furthermore said to Moses, “This is what you shall say to the sons of Israel: ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever, and this is the name for all generations to use to call upon Me.”

God is unknowable. He is the great I AM. Any attempt to call Him by a name would be blasphemous, but from the tribe of Judah came One who made God knowable, and His name was Jesus.

The point is this. God became knowable, a relationship was made possible, by Jesus, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.

I. JESUS

It is Jesus who makes God knowable. A person cannot know God without Jesus Christ. It is impossible to know Him unless you come to Him through Jesus Christ.

It is Jesus who spans the gap between God and man. (Job 9:32-33)

All those centuries ago, Job knew someone needed to bridge that gap.

Job 9:32–33 ““For He is not a man, as I am, that I may answer Him— That we may go to court together! “There is no arbitrator between us, Who can place his hand upon us both.”

Man could never could reach out to God without an arbitrator, an arbitrator named Jesus.

It is Jesus that makes man’s relationship with God possible. It is Jesus who Jacob was describing when he said this.

Genesis 49:10 ““The scepter will not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes, And to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.”

It is Jesus who is the forever King from the tribe of Judah. (Gen. 49:10)

Revelation 5:1–4 “I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed up with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?” And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it. Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.”

Revelation 5:5–7 “And one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to be able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. And He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.”

John enters the throne room of God after the Rapture, and God is sitting on the His throne, and in His right hand is the title deed to planet earth sealed with seven seals. AN angel cries and and asks, “Who is worthy to take the deed from God and open the seals?”

God was holding the title deed to earth. The saints were in Heaven, but how was and who was going to redeem earth. There is no one found in Heaven, on Earth, or in Hell worthy to take the deed from God’s right hand.

John is weeping great tears. No one is worthy!! Suddenly, an elder representing the redeemed of all the ages tells John not to weep because the Lion of the Tribe of Judah had prevailed to open the book and loose the seals to reclaim what was rightfully His.

Jesus was the Lamb that was slain, but in Heaven, He is the Lion complete in His glory as symbolized by Him having seven horns, seven eyes, and seven spirits in Heaven. (Rev. 5:7)

The seven horns symbolize that Jesus has complete power. The seven eyes symbolize that Jesus has complete knowledge. The seven spirits symbolize that Jesus has complete glory. (Isa. 11:1-2)

In Heaven, Jesus is no longer the gentile Lamb slain on the cross. In Heaven, He is the conquering Lion. It is so important to understand this about Jesus. While on earth, Jesus lay aside all His glory to become the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world.****

While on earth, Jesus prayed for His Father to return His glory to Him.

John 17:1 “Jesus spoke these things; and raising His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, so that the Son may glorify You,”

John 17:22–24 ““The glory which You have given Me I also have given to them, so that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and You loved them, just as You loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.”

John 17:25–26 ““Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me; and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.””

Pay careful attention to what I have in bold print on your outline. The world could not and did not know God. He was unknowable until Jesus came, and it is Jesus who made the name of God knowable. What name? JESUS!!!!!!!

It is Jesus who makes it possible for you to know God. People say they believe in God and not Jesus. That is a lie. It is absolutely impossible to know God without Jesus. God is unknowable without Jesus. A lost person cannot pray to God until they know Him through Jesus. A Muslim has no prayer because a Muslim cannot know God without Jesus. A Buddhist cannot chant his way to God because a Buddhist cannot know God without Jesus. Jesus is the Way. He is the only Way. It is Jesus who makes God knowable.

What makes Jesus worthy? What has Jesus done that affords Him the privilege to take from God’s right hand the title deed to planet earth in order to reclaim it?

A. Jesus is worthy because of CREATION. (Col. 1:12-17)

Earth was created by Jesus in the first place. Earth is Jesus’s creation.

Colossians 1:12–14 “giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”

Colossians 1:15–17 “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation: for by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or rulers, or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.”

Jesus is the knowable, the image of the unknowable, invisible God, and it was Jesus who created, and it is Jesus who holds the creation together. (Jhn. 1:1-4)

John 1:1–4 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of mankind.”

The earth belonged to Jesus before Adam was created, but Jesus handed ownership to Adam, and it was Adam’s to keep.

Genesis 1:26–28 “Then God said, “Let Us make mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the livestock and over all the earth, and over every crawling thing that crawls on the earth.” So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.””

Christ gave dominion, ownership, of His creation to Adam to keep or to tend, and Adam kept it until he lost it. He lost it by doing what God said not to do.

Genesis 3:6–7 “When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves waist coverings.”

Romans 5:12 “Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned—”

By sinning, Adam gave Christ’s creation over to Satan. It was a legal transaction. Satan did not steal it. Adam gave it to him. It was not Eve that lost creation. Eve was deceived, but Adam was not deceived. He sinned with his eyes wide open, and by doing so, he handed creation over to Satan.

Christ created, and Adam lost it. Satan has it, so how is Jesus going to get it back?

B. Jesus is worthy because of CRUCIFIXION.

Jesus is worthy to take the deed from the Father and to open the seals because Jesus paid the price.

To reclaim what was His, Jesus had to pay the required price. What was the required price? His blood.

1 Peter 1:18–21 “knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ. For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.”

Redeem means to gain or regain possession in exchange for payment, and for earth to be redeemed, the asking price had to be paid.

And dear friend, what a price it was!!!

Hebrews 9:22 “And almost all things are cleansed with blood, according to the Law, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”

Isaiah 53:4–6 “However, it was our sicknesses that He Himself bore, And our pains that He carried; Yet we ourselves assumed that He had been afflicted, Struck down by God, and humiliated. But He was pierced for our offenses, He was crushed for our wrongdoings; The punishment for our well-being was laid upon Him, And by His wounds we are healed. All of us, like sheep, have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the Lord has caused the wrongdoing of us all To fall on Him.”

Isaiah 53:7–8 “He was oppressed and afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth; Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth. By oppression and judgment He was taken away; And as for His generation, who considered That He was cut off from the land of the living For the wrongdoing of my people, to whom the blow was due?”

Jesus paid the price that I owed.

Jesus is worthy because He created earth, and He is worthy because He was crucified for earth.

C. Jesus is worthy because of CONQUEST.

If Christ is dead, earth could not belong to Him because a dead man cannot physically possess anything. Can He?

Jesus, however, is not dead. He died for earth, but now He is living, and He is ready to reclaim what is rightfully His. (Rev. 1:18)

Revelation 1:18 “and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.”

Jesus Christ is alive. He conquered the last stronghold of Satan which was the grave.

Because He is alive, He has the keys to death and the grave.

Jesus created earth. Jesus was crucified for earth, and Jesus conquered the grave, and because He did, He has the keys which allow Him to reclaim what is rightfully His and the keys to open the seals of the deed in God’s right hand.

He is the Lion from the tribe of Judah. He is never going to abdicate His throne. He is KING of kings, and because He is, you must follow after Him in obedience or suffer His wrath.

Romans 12:19 “Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written: “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.”

TO avoid His wrath, you must follow the path paved with the blood of Jesus. Jesus is the Lion from the tribe of Judah. He is the One who makes God knowable, and dear friend, I, for one, am glad that God is knowable, and it ought to make everyone of us who belong to Jesus to praise Him with outstretched hands. AMEN!!!!

II. JUDAS

Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed the Lion of the tribe of Judah, was also from the tribe of Judah. Is there a connection between Judas and Jesus and prophecy? If so, what is the connection?

Without a doubt, I believe there is a connection prophetically between Judas and Jesus.

What is the connection? I believe the Antichrist will come from the tribe of Judah.

When we discussed the tribe of Dan, I said it was very possible that the false prophet would come from Dan.

I believe 2/3 of the Unholy Trinity will come from Judah and Dan with the Unholy Trinity being: Satan, Antichrist, and False Prophet. If you compare, Satan is the Father, Antichrist is the son, and False Prophet is the holy spirit. Satan’s desire is to be God. In the future, he will give it a go with the false trinity.

Let me show you why I think what I think.

A. The Spirit of Antichrist versus the Antichrist (1 Jhn 4:1-3, 1 Jhn. 2:18, 2 John 7)

1 John 4:1–3 “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and now it is already in the world.”

1 John 2:18 “Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.”

2 John 7 “For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.”

At the time John wrote these epistles, he says that any spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of the spirit of antichrist, and that spirit was present in John’s time.

For example, and get ready for me to be banned, all Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons are of the spirit of antichrist. Why?

Mormons believe that Jesus is the spirit child of the Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. What are they denying? They are denying that Jesus came in the flesh that Jesus was not born to the virgin Mary. The spirit child descended upon Jesus at a later time. Mormons also do not believe that Jesus has always been.

Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that Jesus was created by Jehovah as the Archangel Michael before the physical world existed, and is a lesser, though mighty, “god.”

Both Mormon’s and Jehovah’s Witnesses deny the biblical account of Jesus coming in the flesh that is found in Luke 1 and Luke 2.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons are not antichrist but they are of the spirit of antichrist as is any person who denies that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came in the flesh born of a virgin a little over 2,000 years ago in a little town of Bethlehem. I know you guys think I am silly, but we need to sing those songs often that proclaim the birth of Jesus.

Without that baby being born in a manger, there would have been no Savior to die on Calvary. We treat Christmas music like a little red-headed stepchild that can only be brought out one time a year, and God forbid that we sing any Christmas music before Thanksgiving. I think that must be the 11th Commandment or something.

“THOU SHALT NOT IN A BAPTIST CHURCH SING ABOUT JESUS’S BIRTH UNTIL THE FIRST SUNDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING” is what I think that commandment says.

I have said this before and John backs me up. You cannot be saved if you deny the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. God’s spirit did not come upon Jesus later making Him the Son of God. Jesus lay aside His glory to come to earth to be born in that stinking stable so that He could die on Calvary for your sins, and to deny that He has come in the flesh is the spirit of antichrist.

We do not need to be so taboo and ritualistic and tradition-minded about when we sing the songs that proclaim the birth of Jesus. There is the antichrist that is coming, but if you deny that Jesus has come in the flesh, you are being controlled by the spirit of antichrist now.

B. The Antichrist and Judas

We know the connection between Judas and Jesus, but what is the connection between Judas and Antichrist?

Both are sons of perdition

In the Bible, Judas and Antichrist are the only two that are called sons of perdition. (Jhn 17:12, 2 Ths. 2:3)

John 17:12 “While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name, which You have given Me; and I guarded them, and not one of them perished except the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.”

2 Thessalonians 2:3 “No one is to deceive you in any way! For it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition,”

Judas was the son of perdition, and the Antichrist will be the son of perdition. Is that a coincidence? I think not.

Perdition is mentioned several times in the Bible, but in only two passages is the term linked to persons. I found this definition which I think is very interesting.

Perdition is the state of eternal damnation.

If that is the accepted definition and I think that it is, Judas and Antichrist being sons of perdition speaks of their eternal damnation. Judas did and the Antichrist will reject Christ. Judas did and the Antichrist will do so very early in life.

2. Both are the only two in the Bible possessed by Satan.

You can find all throughout the Bible examples of demon possession. For example:

1 Samuel 16:14 “Now the Spirit of the Lord left Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord terrified him.”

Luke 8:1–2 “Soon afterward, Jesus began going around from one city and village to another, proclaiming and preaching the kingdom of God. The twelve were with Him, and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,”

Mark 9:17–18 “And one person from the crowd answered Him, “Teacher, I brought You my son, because he has a spirit that makes him unable to speak; and whenever it seizes him, it slams him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth and becomes stiff. And I told Your disciples so that they would cast it out, but they could not do it.””

Mark 9:19–20 “And He answered them and said, “O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me!” And they brought the boy to Him. When he saw Him, the spirit immediately threw him into convulsions, and falling to the ground, he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth.”

Demon possession and demon oppression are real, and if you are lost, you face the possibility of that happening in your life. Surely, no one here would doubt demonic possession, but in the Bible, two are specifically mentioned as being possessed by Satan, and if possession constitutes ownership, what does that say about Satan, Judas, and Antichrist?

Let me give you some proof of Satanic ownership.

a. Judas (Luke 22:1-4)

Luke 22:1–4 “Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching. And the chief priests and the scribes were trying to find a way to put Him to death, since they were afraid of the people. And Satan entered Judas, the one called Iscariot, who belonged to the number of the twelve. And he left and discussed with the chief priests and officers how he was to betray Him to them.”

Do you remember what Jesus said about Judas as recorded by John? (Jhn 6:70-71)

John 6:70–71 “Jesus answered them, “Did I Myself not choose you, the twelve? And yet one of you is a devil.” Now He meant Judas the son of Simon Iscariot; for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray Him.”

Jesus knew Judas belonged to the devil, but John did not recognize it until after the Holy Spirit made clear to him the events in the Garden of Gethsemane. Judas had made his choice. He was a “child” of the devil.

When Judas died, what does the Bible say? (Acts 1:25)

Acts 1:25 “to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.””

Judas died and went to his own place. He did not go where the rest of the damned go. I believe he went to the abyss, the place where certain vile and dangerous spirit beings are incarcerated.

b. Antichrist (2 Ths 2:9, Rev. 17:8)

2 Thessalonians 2:9 “that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and false signs and wonders,”

Revelation 17:8 ““The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction. And those who live on the earth, whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was, and is not, and will come.”

When the Antichrist first appears, he will be an ordinary man, brilliant, persuasive, attractive, and powerful. He will appear as Judas appeared to the disciples. How did Judas appear to the disciples? Well, the Bible does not say specifically except to say that he was brilliant enough that he was trusted with the group’s finances.

The Antichrist possessed by Satan, as Judas was, will do great things, but he will be assassinated, and I believe Satan orchestrates the entire thing, but remember this absolute fact. Only God is sovereign, and if Satan orchestrates it, it is because God allows it for His purpose.

When Antichrist is mortally wounded and brought back to life, his abilities are magnified as he comes up out of the abyss, the same place where Judas is. Those abilities are so magnified that everyone whose name is not written in the Book of Life will be amazed according to Rev. 17:8.

It is Satan imitating God. He imitates both the resurrection and the second coming. It is when the Antichrist comes from the abyss that he will demand to be worshipped as messiah. Do you know what Satan has always desired?

Isaiah 14:11–13 “‘Your pride and the music of your harps Have been brought down to Sheol; Maggots are spread out as your bed beneath you And worms are your covering.’ “How you have fallen from heaven, You star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who defeated the nations! “But you said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north.”

Isaiah 14:14–15 “‘I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ “Nevertheless you will be brought down to Sheol, To the recesses of the pit.”

Satan has always desired to be worshipped. He will accomplish that through the Antichrist as the world bows to him. (Rev. 13:4-6)

Revelation 13:4–6 “they worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?” A mouth was given to him speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him. And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven.”

What Satan could not accomplish through Judas, he will accomplish through his second son, the Antichrist.

C. The connection between Judah and Antichrist

You are probably sitting there thinking that all of this sounds interesting, but you are wondering what the connection is between Antichrist and the tribe of Judah. I believe Jesus gave us a hint.

John 5:43 “I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.”

I believe Jesus is talking about the name of Judah, the name of God, the tetragrammaton.

Who makes the name of God knowable? JESUS.

Jesus came in the Father’s name but was rejected by the majority. When Antichrist comes in that name, the world will accept him.

It is the great lie that God makes those who have rejected Jesus to believe after the Rapture, and that lie is that Antichrist is the christ. (small letters on purpose) (2 Thess. 2:9-12)

2 Thessalonians 2:9–10 “that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not accept the love of the truth so as to be saved.”

2 Thessalonians 2:11–12 “For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.”

The great lie of the Tribulation is not concerning the disappearance of Christians. The great lie is that Antichrist is christ. Christians disappearing would not seal someone in their unbelief but worshipping Antichrist will.

Daniel describes that actions of Antichrist as he claims to be god.

Daniel 11:36–37““Then the king will do as he pleases, and he will exalt himself and boast against every god and will speak dreadful things against the God of gods; and he will be successful until the indignation is finished, because that which is determined will be done. And he will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the desire of women, nor will he show regard for any other god; for he will boast against them all.”

The Antichrist will claim that he is the promised one, and as evidence he will perform great miracles, signs, and wonders as he appears to come back from the dead. He will deceive millions upon millions. The Antichrist, from the tribe of Judah, will come in his own name and be accepted, while Jesus, the Christ who came in His Father’s name, will be rejected.

The Antichrist will control the world politically and financially. He will demand worship in the temple of God, and he will demand obedience. Do you see the imitation of God? Satan will be attempting what God will do during the Millennium.

All sounds bleak, but dear friend, the outcome of this conflict was settled in the opening pages of God’s Word. Now, I have told you before that Genesis 3:15 is one of the most significant passages of Scripture in the entire Bible, and if you want to know prophecy, it is all summed up in that one verse.

Genesis 3:15 “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her Seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”

Who is at enmity? Satan and the woman, Israel.

Who is Satan’s seed? Judas and Antichrist.

Who is the woman’s SEED? Jesus Christ.

Judas bruised Jesus’s heel at Calvary. It was not an eternal blow as Jesus came from the grave, but Jesus will crush Antichrist and in turn Antichrist’s father, Satan, when he comes back at Armageddon as Satan is exposed for what he really is.

Revelation 19:20–21 “And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.”

Revelation 20:1–3 “And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.”

Isaiah 14:16 “They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;”

The Unholy Trinity receives an escort to where they belong as the world looks upon Satan wondering how in the world he made the earth tremble and kingdoms shake.

What a wonderful journey through the 12!!! The most important message from the 12 is that God can and will use imperfect men, and Jesus Christ is going to reign forever as the Lion from the Tribe of Judah.
