Near the end of the 20th Century, the formation of the Ten Kings of Bible prophecy took a huge step forward when the world began to patch together the corners of the earth that had been blown apart due to the horrors of World Wars I & II. Healing of the horrendous wounds which Europe had suffered after the slaughter and universal mayhem that took place among all peoples of Europe and everywhere began immediately after the Second World War. The creation of the United Nations was one of the first and most important of these attempts to heal and create a unity among the nations of the world.

It was no coincidence that this international organization was established in the United States within the confines of New York, NY but placed on a little plot of ground which was declared to be ‘international soil’, not owned by any one nation or peoples under any particular political persuasion or code of law. The UN made and kept its own laws.

Since 1948 it has been evident that the idea of a United Nations has proven impotent for bringing about world peace and general harmony among the nations of the earth. It is evident that the UN, at best, is only the first step in a much more involved trek the world is taking toward a unity of nations and countries, such as the United States of America accomplished through its trials and tribulations of its formation into a united group of separate colonies and territories.

The uniting of the world into an ultimate Neo Roman global empire such as the Bible speaks of must ultimately lead to the establishment of the throne of a single Emperor with omnipotent power, a man sitting as God on the throne of the spirit of empire, a man who wields absolute authoritarian power over all men, all women, all children. His absolute dictatorship with unquestioned authority is a kingdom that encompasses the earth, with only one pocket of resistance comprised of nations of the Middle East and north west Africa which will be the thorn in his side, until the end of his inglorious reign. 

A giant stride in the antichrist paradigm of prophecy occurred when Europe morphed into The European Union in the 1980’s. It was a huge leap toward the final Empire of Man on earth; an act which brushed aside all denials that the Bible’s prophecies of the world organization labeled in biblical terms as ‘The Ten Kings’ is not only inevitable, but soon to be established.  

It had long been understood by students of the Word of God that the fulfillment of all the amazing prophecies of the Bible concerning the Antichrist (which can be found in Daniel and the prophets and in the Gospels, Epistles and the Book of Revelation) had to be preceded by the formation of a certain union of kingdoms or nations which would eventually fall completely to the control of one man, otherwise known as the Antichrist.

The Antichrist’s ascendency to power will rest on the throne created by this federation of kingdoms known in Scripture as the Ten Kings. The Antichrist will gain ascendency to a demagogue’s position by supernatural craft, skullduggery and flattery. He will ascend to power suddenly, in a few days by means of coup d-etat, taking down the leaders and militaries of the three most powerful members of the Ten Kings which comprise this new world order.

Obviously, this ultimate confederacy of nations must be global and with power to rule, unlike the United Nations at present; it must be established so that ‘the man of sin’, known also as the Antichrist can gain ascendancy over the whole earth. This confederacy of Ten Kings will serve as the Antichrist’s power base which is his throne throughout the Tribulation period. The anticipated union of powerful nations (most probably groups of nations) is generally believed to be, not merely a ‘sort of restoration of the Roman Empire’ but an actual continuation of the Roman Spirit toward its final destiny which will be completed only in the career of THE Antichrist himself. This was first prophesied by the great prophet Daniel in the seventh century BC and repeated in the first century AD in chapter 17 of the book of Revelation. In both prophecies, this forerunner to the Antichrist’s kingdom is declared to be a kingdom comprised of ten kings or kingdoms, all united with one ultimate mind and purpose, that is, to give their power to the Antichrist who is called the ‘son of perdition’ in scripture.

The real prophetic purpose of the combined ten kings organizations, though they themselves may not fully understand it at the time of its formation, is that they will provide the Antichrist with the foundation for a ready-made realm that will for the first and last time become a fully global empire. From this base the Antichrist will be able to seize political, economic,  military, religious and social control of the four corners of the earth. As a result of this solidarity and the new technologies of ‘Big Brother’ the Antichrist will be able to control and dominate every aspect of every person’s life within the realm of his nearly all inclusive kingdom. Ultimately he will have every person small and great take the Mark of the Beast, which is fast becoming a by-word around the world, if it not already is. The foundation for all these things is being laid now as the Ten Kings kingdom is rapidly moving toward establishment. It remains only to be seen what form it will take.

As things develop we look for some sort of composite of Ten governmental powers (or sectional and regional local combined powers) to become a unified force of confederated powers; which will be formed into a cohesive group of confederates, which will share in a more perfect solidarity than now exists in the impotent and un-united United Nations. The Ten Kings (or whatever they call themselves) will be different in constitutional construction, with more than just suggestive non binding influence. It will be designed to have real teeth, with political and social power to impose law and order and regulate economic and social issues and to enact agendas. In actual power it will be completely different from what now exists in the soft unauthoritative, powerless United Nations.

“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…”  Daniel 7:24

“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.
   These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.” Rev. 17:12-13
