We see then that an economic World System is soon coming, whereby we will all be under the rule of one man. Do the Scriptures tell us from where this man and his System arise from ? Yes. In Daniel Chapter 2, a vision is given of all the world empires in history. The vision is in the image of a man. The head was of gold, representing Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom. It was followed by a chest of silver, representing the Medio-Persian kingdom. Then the torso was of brass, representing the Grecian kingdom. The legs were of iron, representing the Roman kingdom--- both East (Constantinople) and West (Rome). Finally there were ten toes coming from the legs of the Roman kingdom. It represented a revived form of "Pax Romana"(peace through brute force) in the last days. The 10 toes were made of iron mixed with clay, representing imperialism mixed with democratization. But the two cannot really combine, as they are antithetical one to another.

global leader will head up a 10 nation confederation,
arising from the characteristics of the Old Roman Empire Daniel 7:7 tells us that the World Leader will rule over 10 Horns of power (also called the 'ten toes'). But first, he will pluck up three "horns" (countries) by their roots (Daniel 7:8) Now 3-plucked-up...plus 10 remaining...equals 13 countries, originally. So let's look for a political base of 13 nations---which eventually will lose 3-member-nations---to become an entity of TEN. |

WEU
Well, the Western
European Union, the WEU, could well fit that category.
Currently, there are 15 member nations.
Austria,
Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France , Germany, Greece, Italy, Ireland, Luxembourg,
The Netherlands (Holland), Portugal,
Spain, Sweden and the UK (England).

If Belgium,
Netherlands and Luxembourg
merge into one enterprise known as "Benelux", that would bring the WEU to 13
member-nations.
Already being called "Benelux"

3
Nations 'plucked up"
Then when 3 members are "plucked up by the roots" (DAN. 7:8), that will leave 10 members......something
to watch for.
Nations can be expelled from EU
for non-acceptance of EU Constitution -- Dec. 5-2002
A country could be ejected from the European Union
if it failed to ratify a proposed constitution for Europe, under
plans launched today by the European Commission's president,
Romano Prodi.
According to a document obtained by The Independent, any EU
nation that tries to block the constitution could be thrown out
of the Union if it is in a clear minority.

Military three: France, Germany, Belgium
"old Europe". Will these three be "plucked
up" ?
Three against "Defence" position -- Sept. 22, 2003
England (sort of) , France and Germany
While UK Prime Minister Tony Blair did
not see eye to eye with his counterparts, Jacques Chirac and
Gerhard Schröder on the Iraq issue, he did set about patching up
their battered relationship by narrowing their differences on
defence.

Eurozone

Only time will tell which three nations will be "plucked up
by the roots".
11th
HORN....... America ? (Atlantic Alliance)...diverse from the
first
PARTNERSHIP http://www.eurunion.org/partner/home.htm
Atlantic Alliance www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/6bibi.html
"And it (the Beast) had 10 horns. I considered the horns,
and, behold, there came up
among them ANOTHER
LITTLE HORN ( 11th horn )
before whom there were three of
the first horns plucked up by the roots" (Dan. 7:7,8).
"the 10 horns that were in his head , and of the OTHER
(11th) which came up,
and before whom 3 fell" (Dan. 7:20)
"And the 10 horns out of this kingdom are 10 kings that
shall arise:
and
ANOTHER (11th) shall arise after them;
and he shall be diverse from the first,
and he shall subdue 3 kings" Dan. 7:24
If the
11th horn is"DIVERSE"
(meaning "different") from the 10, then perhaps he is
not from the EU.
He could be from a nation that has strong military might and
technology.
A might that the EU would like to co-ordinate plans with, for
better protection and security.
Is that what this article is referring to ???

REVELATION
17
"The
7 Heads (economic leaders) are 7 mountains (governments) on which
the woman:
(commercialism) sitteth."Rev. 17:9
We
know that 'mountains' here refers to 'governments' as discerned
from
Dan. 2:35.
In Revelation Chapter 17, there is mention of another group to watch
for and that is....
the
7 Kings which play a
prominent role in history.
Most of these Kingdoms have already climaxed, and have faded off
the pages of time.
7 KINGS
...5 ARE FALLEN
The following 7 all have had, or will have, control over Israel.
"And there are 7
kings: 5 are fallen, and one IS, and the other is not yet come;
and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
And the beast that WAS, and is not,
even he is the 8th,
and is of the 7, and
goeth into perdition." Rev. 17:9+10
These are most likely the first 5 Kingdoms of Revelation 17: 10 that at one time or another had control over
Israel. If they had reign over a part of Israel (Northern Israel)
that counted. If they were a world Empire but were never over
Israel, then that Empire cannot be included in the following
list.
Israel is the key to understanding this section in Revelation 17.
(For example: Egypt never ruled over Israel....nor did the
British Empire who ruled over "Palestine", before
Israel was re-created on May 14-1948 as an independant nation).
1. ASSYRIAN
King who conquered part of Israel...Sennacherib
Sennacherib beseiged Jerusalem in 701 B.C. (many dates given,
anywhere from 713 Bc to 701 BC). He did not take Jerusalem due to
the prayers of Isaiah and Hezekiah and the miraculous
intervention of God.
2
Kings 18 ; 2 Chronicles 32 ; Isaiah 36.
The Assyrian Empire subjugated northern Israel, and led her away
into captivity (relocation, attempt at assimilation). It is Very
Important to note here that the Assyrians never totally
conquered Israel (as did the Empires of Daniel's statue). The
reason why Assyria is not include in the statue of Daniel Chapter
2 is because Assyria never became a world empire, like the
others, and also because she never was over Jerusalem.
The REMNANT at Jerusalem was completely untouched by
the Assyrian
---then and always.
"The Destruction of Sennacherib's Hosts at Jerusalem"

Sennarcherib: a type of antichrist
www.ncinter.net/~ejt/PForum/Sennacherib.htm
History at a Glance
www.freethinker.org/library/modern/gerald_larue/otll/chart.html
Anti-Christ, the coming World Ruler, is referred to in Scripture
as "the King of Assyria"
(Isaiah
10:5--7, 12,14 and
also in Isaiah.
30:31). He is referred
to by that title because he too will NOT be able to conquer
Israel permanently, although---like the Assyrians---he will
subjugate them for a time and lead them away into captivity (for
3 1/2 years........
Revelation 11 & 13; Daniel. 11:33).
Another possible reason why antiChrist is also referred to as
"The Assyrian" is because the Beast will also cause
relocation of peoples.
Here are the other kings:
2. BABYLONIAN King over Israel...Nebuchadnezzar
3. MEDES AND PERSIANS....Cyrus
4. GRECIAN.....Alexander the Great
5. OLD ROMAN EMPIRE .....Caesar
peace through brute force "Pax Romana"
These 5 Kings are now
history.
"ONE
IS"
Revelation 17:10 says,
"And there are 7 Kings...5 are fallen...and ONE IS."
The term "ONE IS" means that there IS a Kingdom
currently reigning in our "latter days"...the days for
which the Book of Revelation was written.
Yes, it was written for us...we are "a chosen
generation".
Well, the only major Superpower left since the so-called
"end of the Cold War"
IS........
6. AMERICA...."king" over treaty with Israel 1979
the 6th Kingdom of
Global Superiority.
Let's face it, America is the major Mover and Shaker in global
affairs when the
tribulation- treaty begins (1979-1982... see addendum of Chapter 5
However, America is in compliance with the United Nations.
7.
THE
7th KING..."THE OTHER"...over the
multi-national forces of the U.N.
Let's look again at Revelation 17:10....
"And there are 7 Kings...5 are fallen...and one is,( 6 )
and THE OTHER ( 7 )
is not yet come (not fully powerful until the eve of the
Great Trib)
AND WHEN HE COMETH, HE MUST CONTINUE A SHORT
SPACE."
This 7th Global power (over multi-national UN forces ) will have
say over Israel for a brief time.
This 7th king does not have to be over the UN itself, but rather
over the directives of UN multinational forces, the military
might of the UN.
Today we see the American leader as presiding over the UN forces.
UN
multinational forces under US command -- Sept 8, 2003
"The United States was unwilling to
yield to the UN its control over military operations in Iraq or
over the country's reconstruction, Powell said on NBC-TV.
The White House was not prepared even to shift the U.S.-led
interim administration from Pentagon control to that of the State
Department, he said.
With many security-related issues to be resolved, he said, "the
military is uniquely suited for this."
Powell said that the Bush administration was not prepared to
abandon or short-circuit its planned sequence - restoration of
security, drafting of a constitution, re-establishment of
governing institutions and holding of free elections - toward the
restoration of full Iraqi sovereignty.
"There is enough work there for everyone," Powell said,
"but the lead role has to
be played by the United States. We
are the ones who are there now. We are the ones who took over the
country, we have governing responsibility."
To suggest that "suddenly you could bring in the UN and say,
'It's all yours,'" he said, was "not appropriate."
http://www.iht.com/articles/109158.html
This 7th power--the "OTHER" , over
multinational UN forces ---will make decisions over
Israel for
a short period of time.
Enter # 8
The EU Commission is about to produce a strong, magnetic person,
one who galvanizes the EU governance, and speaks with "one
voice" for the West.
NWO ( Western 11 horns....EU + US)
It is then that the EU has the dominant political
leadership role in Global Governance,
combined with
the backing of the US military shield and satellite technology.
(SDI, Strategic Defense Initiative; NMD Nuclear Missile Defense).
When the UN is subordinated, the EU will place its agenda on top
of the governance-framework laid out by the UN. The UN's only power will be that of
"consensus".
The main
function of the UN was to "un-tether" all nations from
their own intrinsic sovereignty, and then to hand all these
"orphan" nations over to the political leader of Europe
and his New World Order
(the Western 11 horns) ....the adoptive parents.
Once the 8th king ( the 11th horn of the EU- Atlantic Alliance) is
situated within global affairs, there will be no more OTHER world
powers.
This coming WESTERN ALLIANCE will dominate the world TOTALLY,
with the EU at the political helm.
The following statement is not
meant to be a referral to Mr. Clinton (whom we do NOT believe to
be the AC), but rather to the office
itself...the hybrid-ization of two major political entities.....
"Mr.
Prodi even declared that the American President was now a
European"
