There are forces that are acting behind the scenes that are pushing towards a world where a few (the elite) have complete control over everyone else. The Bible says that ultimately there will be "...ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast. They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast." (Revelation 17:12-13)
If the Lord's return is near, we should see the world shaping up to create a concentration of power that will ultimately result in the establishment of ten kings out of which the antichrist will come. Is that what's taking place? I believe it it, but it can only be perceived by those who are willing to "look behind the curtain". Let's take a whirlwind trip around the creation of this concentration of power.
Worldwide Power - The Ten Kings
Prophecy watchers sometimes scratch their heads on where to look for the ten kings. The statue in the dream of Nebuchadnezzar that Daniel interpreted (See Danile 2) describes a fourth and final world power, as strong as iron, and became divided. Its foot and toes were make up of iron mixed with clay, which means it was partly strong and partly brittle. This clearly seems to point to the Roman empire and its ultimate revival.
If the revived Roman empire encompasses the same countries and geography as the original empire, then the European Union would seem to the fulfillment of this prophecy. However, the problem is that there are many more than ten countries that have joined the EU. Some believe the revived Roman Empire will appear as ten worldwide regions or unions, such as the European Union, African Union, and developing North American Union. One commentator suggests that the ten kings are not political kings at all but rather ten powerful family bloodlines. Only time will tell, but it has become clear to those of us who witnessed the demise of the Soviet Union and the recent Arab Spring that major political changes can happen very rapidly.
The Demise of America
On the news today, polls indicate 74% of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction while only 19% believe the country is headed in the right direction. America is disgusted with Congress as indicated by a 12% approval rating. Right now the economy and high unemployment are the biggest concerns. With deficits soaring for as far as the eye can see and with constant political gridlock, the outlook for the country is grim.
President Bush and President Obama have signed executive orders that grant the President sweeping dictatorial powers, with no short-term congressional oversight, in the event the President decides to declare martial law. Working with a network of Fusion Centers, FEMA will have the authority to control anyone that resists the will of the government with the help of the Army (U.S. Northern Command).
Efforts are underway to limit our freedoms and privacy in the name of security. A police state presence is developing. More attention is being paid to follow the United Nations resolutions than to follow the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. And secretly, the leaders of the U.S., Mexico, and Canada are following the same path to regionalization that the European Union followed. Before the public will have a chance to debate the matter, the North American Union will be a reality and our national sovereignty will be surrendered.
