Kingdom Of God
The Next And Last Kingdom To Come
The Bible, and in particular the Book of Revelation, is a chronicle of kingdoms/empires that precede the arrival of the Kingdom of God. There are a total of nine kingdoms. The Kingdom of God is the ninth and final kingdom to rule over the earth. The first seven kingdoms have already come and gone - Revelation 17: 10. These were the Babylonian, Media Persian, Assyrian, Egyptian, Grecian, Roman and finally the British Empire. Revelation 18, foretells of an eighth kingdom referred to as Babylon, a.k.a. the Beast Empire, and it's demise in the final days before the return of Christ, and the arrival of the Kingdom of God. Since all the previous seven empires have already come and gone, the eighth empire must now have already come into existence, and we need only identify it in the context of modern times and current events. We know it already exists because the Beast Empire coexists with the Ten Kingdoms - Revelation 17: 16-17, which rise from the seventh head of the First Beast Of Revelation 13. The seventh head was of course the British Empire, which then formed ten monarchies of the Middle East at the end of WWI. These were Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Turkey, Persia now called Iran, Egypt, Basrah, Baghdad and Mosul. Later, Basrah, Baghdad, and Mosul, were merged to form the nation of Iraq, the little horn that uproots three - Daniel 7: 8. These now make up eight nations of the Middle East. If the ten kingdoms already exist, then so too must the Beast Empire. To identify the eighth empire we look to Revelation 17: 11, which tells us that the eighth is of the seven. This means that the eighth empire is similar to one of the previous seven empires that preceded it. What nation empire in the world today resembles an empire listed as one of the previous seven? There is one word that can identify both. It's democracy. The Grecian Empire invented democracy, and the United States of America patterned it's system of government after the Grecian concept of democracy. This points to an unavoidable conclusion that the United States is the eighth empire, and can be identified as the Beast Empire of Biblical renown. This means that all of the prophecies contained within the Book of Revelation, with reference to Babylon and the Beast Empire, are directly aimed at the United States of America, which also includes it's final demise described in Revelation 18. It also includes Israel, and the E.U., which are extensions of the Beast Empire as a Western imperial alliance. The existence of the ten kingdoms, and the Beast Empire, means that we are in the final days of these prophecies, and the return of Christ, and the arrival of the Kingdom of God, are now very close. How do we know? Because the Bible tells us so as follows: "And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever." - Daniel 2: 44. It's the next kingdom to come, where Christ is king, and the the meaning contained within the Lord's Prayer. 

The Bible is a prophetic vision and chronology of empires and nations symbolically represented which span the entire history of humanity leading up to the arrival of the Kingdom of God. It describes the development of eight major empires and ten smaller kingdoms that precede the arrival of the Kingdom of God, the final Kingdom that will reign upon the Earth. These eight empires all have one similarity in common. Each, no matter how briefly, ruled the location of ancient Babylon. The first seven empires are represented by the seven heads of the First Beast of Revelation 13. These seven empires have already come and gone. They were the Babylonian, Media Persian, Assyrian, Egyptian, Grecian, Roman and British Empires. The eighth empire is represented by the Second Beast of Revelation 13, and is the United States, which joined this lineup when it conquered and occupied Iraq, the location of Babylon, during the previous Bush Presidency in 2003.

By 1921 the British Empire held sway over a population of about 458 million people, approximately one-quarter of the world's population. It covered about 14.2 million square miles, about a quarter of the Earth's total land area. This certainly qualifies the British Empire as the forth beast of Daniel and makes it very diverse from all the rest. The ten horns of Daniel arising from the forth beast are in fact the formation of ten Middle East monarchies by the British Empire after it gained control of The Middle East During World War One, following the defeat of Turkey and the Ottoman Islamic Empire, in conjunction with treaties involving France and the League of Nations. 

The Ten Horns of Daniel are also the Ten Horns and Crowns mentioned by the Book of Revelation, that sit upon the seventh head of the First Beast of Revelation 13, which is symbolic of ten kingdoms arising from this seventh empire. These ten kingdoms remained in existence following the collapse of the seventh kingdom, and into a period when an eighth empire represented by the Second Beast of Revelation 13 comes to rule the same area of the Middle East. The reason why the eighth empire is not within the body of the first beast is because it exists in a completely different geographical location and on an entirely different continent, and is therefore represented as the Second Beast of Revelation 13. It's the North American Continent to be more exact and the United States is the eighth and last empire to rule the location of Babylon before the arrival of the Kingdom of God.

United States Driven By An Ancient Demon Of War
Beast From The Bottomless Pit Rises Again
The U.S. Is An Image Of The Grecian Empire Of Alexander The Great
The Beast That Was, Is Not, Yet Is
Deciphering The Meaning Of The Beast That Was, Is Not, Yet Is

"The beast that you saw was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. "And there are seven kings: five are fallen" (1) Babylon (2) Media Persia (3) Assyria (4) Egypt (5) Greece, "And one is" (6) Rome, "And the other is not yet come" (7) British Empire, "And when he comes, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth (8) United States, and is of the seven." 

All of the above empires ruled the same location of Babylon = Iraq. The beast (that was) before the Roman Empire was the Grecian Empire of Alexander the Great, which was the fifth. And (is not) was the Roman Empire which was the sixth, when the Book of Revelation was written, but was not directly empowered by the Dragon as was Grecia. The British Empire was the seventh and just as Biblically foretold it ruled Iraq for only a short space following WWI. (Yet is) is a future empire, the United States, which became the eighth after it conquered and ruled Iraq for a brief period following the Iraq war "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven." The U.S. is of the seven because it also briefly ruled Iraq via military conquest, and also because the U.S. is an image of Grecia, as a democracy, and the U.S. is also empowered by the Dragon as was Grecia. This identifies the United States as the Beast Empire.

The Bible explains in Revelation 13, that Alexander the Great, the first king of the Grecian Empire, was empowered by the dragon, which is later described as "the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit" in Revelation 17, a demon of war and conquest. This is evidenced by the historical feats of Alexander, one of history's greatest conquerors, who forged the Grecian Empire. Alexander was a man whom legend describes as having miraculous power in his ability to conquer and make war, and of whom it is said wept because there were no more worlds to be conquered. 

With the sudden death of Alexander at a very young age, the Grecian Empire, which was the fifth Biblically prophesized empire to exist prior to the arrival of the Kingdom of God, was divided into four smaller kingdoms, which wounded the Dragon because it's designs for world domination via the Grecian Empire were thereby curtailed. However, the Dragon returns as the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit during the future reign of an eighth empire. His deadly wound is healed insomuch as the Dragon commences it's original designs for war, conquest, and world domination, by empowering another man who presides over this eighth empire.

Here we have the basis of the so called Anti-christ, another popular misnomer, because he is actually never referred to as Anti-christ in the Bible, but as the Beast. This of course means that because the United States is the eighth empire symbolized by the Second Beast of Revelation 13, then the Beast must be a President of the United States. Perhaps this is not symbolic of a specific man, but any man who becomes President, or is President, during the final closing days of this prophecy because the eighth empire is covertly controlled by the Dragon. Any man elected President during this time is only the puppet of a secret ruling cabal that actually gives the orders and dictates policy, just as Alexander was given his power, and seat, and great authority, by the Dragon.

There are a number of biblical prerequisites for the position of the Beast in this scenario. He must be the most powerful man in the world and rule over a great world empire. He must be preoccupied with war, military might and empire building. His name must be associated with money because nobody can buy or sell without the number of his name. He must also have been the ruler of Babylon = Iraq, the eyes, and the mouth speaking great things as described by Daniel. All of these prerequisites now exist within the definitive confines of the President of the United States.

The President of the United States is the most powerful man on Earth and rules over a great global military and economic empire. He is commander and chief of the greatest military machine in history. He is preoccupied with war and military might by virtue of the war on terrorism and a power base that demands he protect and expand the U.S. Empire. Former Presidents are printed on the face of U.S. currency, the world's reserve currency, and various Presidents represent the denominational amounts. Nobody on Earth can buy or sell without using U.S. currency, the value of which is represented by a specific U.S. President, which is the number of his name. For example, Washington is depicted on the One Dollar Bill, and Abraham Lincoln is depicted on the Five Dollar Bill, and so on - US Coins and Currency. Not all U.S. Currency is represented by a U.S. President, but most is, and that's enough to fulfill these Biblical Prophecies. The President of the United States as commander and chief of the U.S. military was also the ruler of Babylon = Iraq, by virtue of conquest and U.S. military occupation.

The biblical prerequisites for the eighth and final empire represented by the Second Beast of Revelation 13, are that it must be the most powerful nation on Earth, dazzling the world with it's greatness, and a warlike nation that masquerades as peaceful, with horns like a lamb but speaks like a dragon. It must be an image of the first beast that came before it, which is the Grecian Empire of Alexander the Great, the fifth head of the First Beast of Revelation 13. It forces other nations of the world to remake themselves in the same image or likeness. It's monetary and financial system must be dominant worldwide insomuch as nobody can buy or sell without the use of it's currency and financial system. 

All of the above prerequisites are met within the definitive confines of the United States of America. It is the most powerful nation on Earth, militarily, financially, and economically. Although appearing peaceful on it's exterior, the United States is very warlike, with a history of many wars, and current wars waged on a global scale, and a military budget second to none. It's military might is historically unprecedented. The United States is a copy or image of the ancient Grecian Empire, the founders of democracy, and the democratic republic. 

Grecia was a collection of individual constitutional republics, or city states, later ruled under a single federation, with Alexander as the first king. This is not unlike the United States, a similar collection of individual constitutional republics, or states, under a federal government, presided over by a President. The founding fathers of the United States patterned their new nation in the image of ancient Grecia, the inventors of democracy, and the democratic republic. Over one hundred of it's cites are named after Grecian examples in history and mythology, and many government buildings are copies of ancient Grecian architecture. The United States also goes about forcing other nations to remake themselves in the same image, a copy of itself, a democracy, as was the Grecian Empire that came before it. Nations that don't worship this image are destroyed. The U.S. financial and banking system are used globally, and it's currency, the Dollar, is the world's reserve currency, so that nobody on Earth can buy or sell without the use of it's currency. 

There is one other prophecy contained within Revelation 17-18, that further identifies the eighth empire as the United States of America. It describes the great city Babylon, and it's role as the center of a global economic empire which can be none other than New York City & Wall street. These passages also foretell of hatred from within the Ten Kingdoms that bring ruin to the global economy, and Babylon. This end time global economic and financial system is referred to as the Great Whore That Sits Upon Many Waters. The fall of Babylon, and the collapse of the global economy are one of the last events just prior to the arrival of the Kingdom of God. How can this come about?

The United States is involved in a territorial dispute between Israel and Muslims over Palestine and Jerusalem, and arming Israel against Islamic Nations which include the Ten Kingdoms. It is engaged in a war on terrorism also involving the same Ten Kingdoms. The United States conquered Iraq, which contains three of the Ten Kingdoms, Basra, Baghdad, and Mosul, and is threatening Iran, another of the Ten Kingdoms, by imposing economic sanctions, and threatening possible military action. The war on terrorism, and the U.S. alliance with Israel, are causing great hatred of the U.S. amongst the Muslim populations within the Ten Kingdoms, and contributing to a greater threat of terrorism and war throughout the region. 

The United States is contributing to the violent overthrow and regime change within Syria, and the sale of military weapons and arms to Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, to be used against other Middle East Nations, while siding with Israel against Lebanon, all of which are among the same Ten Kingdoms. From these facts it can be safely concluded that a growing hatred of Mystery Babylon within the Ten Kingdoms has already begun, and insomuch as U.S. financial interests in the world are coupled with U.S. policy in the Middle East, it's no surprise that such hatred could lead to the economic collapse of Babylon. 

The U.S. is dependant on Middle East oil supplied by the majority of the same Ten Kingdoms, which also hold vast reserves of U.S. denominated assets such as U.S. Treasuries. The fact that oil is traded in U.S. Dollars gives the Dollar it's strength as the world's reserve currency, by forcing the nations of the world to hold vast reserves of U.S. Dollars, and to invest in U.S. Dollar assets such as U.S. Treasury Bonds, so as to transact the purchase of oil in U.S. Dollars. Here is another fulfillment of Bible Prophecy: "These have one mind and give their power and strength unto the beast."- Rev.17: 13. 

"These have one mind," is to say that the Ten Kingdoms are all Muslim Nations, and "giving their power and strength to the beast," is to say that they give power to the Beast Empire via their oil resources. This is done by forcing global oil transactions to be in U.S. Dollars and thereby giving power to the Beast Empire by strengthening it's currency. The war on terrorism is perceived as a war on Islam by many within these kingdoms. Military funding of Middle East Nations allied with the United States, and destabilization and threats of war against non allied nations are bringing further hatred and dissention against the United States from amongst the people within the Ten Kingdoms. 

Extended and protracted wars are causing a deepening financial burden for the United States, and weakening the dollar, as well as forcing nations to trade in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The resulting devaluation of the Dollar and a sell off of U.S. Dollar assets on a global scale will bring down Babylon and the global financial and economic empire it supports. Given these facts, it is easy to see how a growing hatred of the U.S. can bring down the empire, and it's global economy, dependant on Middle East oil and the Dollar. As biblically foretold, hatred of Mystery Babylon by the Ten Kingdoms can bring down the entire global economic system.

The Biblical prophecies concerning the eight empires and the Ten Kingdoms foretold to happen prior to the arrival of the Kingdom of God have already come to pass. This means that the arrival of the Kingdom of God is very close, and much closer than most people now realize. However, most people believe that the Ten Kingdoms are yet to happen in some future European domain, where the so called Anti-christ is yet to rule, despite the fact that at last count there were twenty eight member states in the European Union, and not ten as the Bible defines. Perhaps that's why Jesus Christ said that many people will be taken by surprise when the Kingdom of God arrives. They are still waiting for these Biblical prophecies to be fulfilled, while these same prophecies have already come to pass right before their eyes. I can only conclude that the false prophet mentioned in the Book of Revelation, has everything to do with a false interpretation of Bible Prophecy that blinds people to history, and keeps them from viewing their own nation and their own leaders as the fulfillment of these same prophecies.
