“But after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to yours; then another, a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth.” And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others.” Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay.” And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile.” As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.” And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. “

D. Following Gurus

1. The mass media (television, newspapers, radio, magazines, book publishing, etc.) including the Christian mass media creates Christian celebrities which then become our gurus.

2. Dangerous in these last days to set someone up as a guru.

3. Nobody can be beyond critique and honest evaluation and that goes for even our most famous evangelical celebrities: James Dobson, Bill Gothard, Pat Robertson, Billy Graham, Chuck Colson, etc.

4. We must face up to the fact there are tares among the wheat, wolves in sheep’s clothing, and counterfeits in these last days.

5. Be a disciple, not of men, but of the Lord Jesus. Be an Acts 17 Berean.

V. Closing

A. Friendship with the World

1. “Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”

James 4:4

2. In the world, not of the world

Not of the world’s philosophies, religious theologies, institutions: economic, political, religious.
