Blessings John and Bob.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

We need to approach the Scriptures from the same perspective as the writers, such as Daniel and the apostle John. Both of them were witnessing the spiritual and natural realms. The various beasts and horns are the heavily/spiritual controlling powers while the Kings on this earth have given themselves to, and are controlled by these powers. In Daniel eight you have a he goat which is identified as Grecia. Most recognize that this spiritual goat was the power behind Alexander the Great, and became the Greek culture. The same culture is recognized as the birthplace of "democracy." It was under the same "spirit of democracy," that the Bush's also conquered Babylon (modern-day Iraq). "Horns" and "Kings" can both be added or subtracted (broken) to the spiritual power/beast. And I'm sure that one horn can be passed on to another, if they are in agreement with the same spirit. (Bush Senior,-Clinton,-Bush Junior. Obama has chosen a different spirit.).

The fourth beast is much different than all the rest.
Dan 7:23 ¶ Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

And a woman (whore), mystery Babylon, is riding this beast. I see this as similar to a woman riding an animal like a horse. The horse is more powerful, but for a time the woman is controlling the horse/beast.
Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

Dan 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

Rev 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
Rev 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

Rev 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

Shalom,
John

I see what you are saying. The ten kings do not necessarily have to be visibly ruling prior to the revealing of antichrist. This possibility might be hinted at in Revelation 17:12 where it says the ten have "received no kingdom as yet".
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
(Revelation 17:12)
OK Thanks.

John,

How can you confidently assert that there are not 10 kings in power at present? Do you have visibility into such a matter, that seems to really be quite opaque? Who are the real authorities? Who are the puppets, the fronts, and what are their alignments in the actual hierarchy?

Hi Guys, very good advice. Now is certainly not the time to delay drawing near to the Lord. I for one am very hopeful that you are right about what you think will happen in April. However I do have something on my mind that causes me to be somewhat sceptical and I would like your input on the matter.
The issue is the Ten Kings of Daniel 7. It would seem that Scripture says the ten kings arise before antichrist. This short article at Another Voice explains it pretty well:
quote:
"Keep in mind that the "little horn" cannot appear on the scene until "after" (vs. 24) the ten kings have taken control of the reordered earth. This is very important to understand because it shows conclusively that the being who shall eventually fulfil the role of Antichrist cannot have yet made his appearance on the world stage."

The world situation does not seem to yet meet the Scriptural requirements for antichrist to arise. Could you give us your take on this matter? How do you see Daniel 7:24 fitting in with your own expected chronology of events. Thanks guys!
