People don't get it.

They look at the world and think the system is winning.

What They Miss

Job 20:5 — "The triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite is but for a moment."

Evil doesn't win forever.
It wins for a season.

Daniel 7:25 — "He will speak against the Most High and oppress His holy people... for a time, times and half a time."

That's three and a half years.
A limited time.
Not forever.

Revelation 13:5 — "The beast was given authority to act for forty-two months."

Forty-two months.
Not eternity.
A fixed, limited time.

What They Don't See

They see the beast winning.
They see the system succeeding.
They see evil prospering.

But they don't see the time limit.

The beast doesn't win forever.
The system doesn't last forever.
Evil doesn't have the final word.

The Unhook

The system appears to win for a time.
But that time is limited.

The beast gets authority for 42 months.
Then it's destroyed.

The wicked triumph for a moment.
Then they're gone.

The Declaration

I will not be deceived by their temporary victory.

They look like they're winning.
But their time is limited.

The beast falls.
The system ends.
Evil is destroyed.

And the Kingdom stands forever.
