Dragon. Great, fiery dragon.
The First Beast of Revelation 13. He has seven heads, ten horns and a blasphemous name. Act 1, Scene 1, of the Fearful Drama of Two Great Apocalyptic Beasts.
The first beast comes up out of the sea. Meaning of “sea.” Daniel sees four beasts rising out of the sea. Identity of the seven heads of the first beast. They are “seven mountains.” They are “seven kings.” Solid reasons for saying they are not the seven hills of Rome, seven Roman emperors or seven forms of Roman government, but seven earthly kingdoms. One of the seven heads-mountains-kings was “mortally wounded.” Rome was built on seven hills or mounds, and not on real mountains. “Mountain” signifies “kingdom” in prophetical language. The “ten horns” are “ten kings,” and these “ten kings” are ten earthly kingdoms. So are the “seven kings… mountains… heads.” They are not contemporary.
The four heads of the leopard-beast seen by Daniel are four kingdoms “different” one from the other and appear in sequence.
Six of the seven kings-mountains-heads identified. Examples of blasphemous names taken by rulers of Egypt, Babylon and Rome. The first beast is “like a leopard,” with feet like a bear and the mouth of a lion. The “great, fiery red dragon” has seven heads and ten horns. He gives his power, throne and authority to the first beast. Who authorized him to do it, and why?
Duty of man
The Duty of Man. Desire as a great main sail. Duty as a powerful, reliable motor. Full text sermon.
I am a ship and Desire is my great main sail.
How beautiful is a great white sail swelled with a strong wind blowing constantly! Our ship cuts rapidly through the waters of life, with agility and confidence, and we feel excited, joyful, even euphoric.
But, it would behoove us to have taken the precaution of installing a good, powerful, reliable motor in the hull of our ship, less the winds cease to blow.
Obtaining a robust sense of Duty early in life is most wise and prudent. Youth in general has little appreciation for Duty, particularly, moral duty.
Strong, negative reactions to duty. Despising duty; hating the yoke of duty. Humans are not docile in the presence of duty.
Duty plays a key roll in the development of a sound, whole, mature character. What the steel structure is to a building, duty is to the character of the human being.
A strong sense of Duty assures he fulfillment of responsibilities.
Duty propels us, drags us, pushes us, when the road of life becomes very steep and rocky.
Duty guards our souls from moral dangers that threaten to destroy us.
Full text sermon. Adaptable for Bible classes.
