Daniel’s Ten Kingdoms Emerging :: By Terry James

Published on: by RR10 Category:General Articles, Terry James

Yet another pointer to where this generation stands upon God’s prophetic timeline is the emerging of globalism’s powers as they construct the final world kingdom. We have God’s Word on what I believe we see beginning to form as Daniel the prophet foretold through interpretation of Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar’s strange dream:

“And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay” (Daniel 2:40-43).

This is the description of the ten-kingdom power base that will form Antichrist’s regime for controlling all peoples of the world. This power platform, too, is described in a brief mention by John, another of God’s great prophets:

“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:7-8).

Fifth and Final World Power

Daniel prophesied that the fifth world power will come out of the fourth. We know the order of world empires from history. The first Daniel interpreted was Babylon. The second would be the Medo-Persian. The third would be the Greek Empire, and the fourth would be the Roman Empire, represented in Nebuchadnezzar’s night vision by the legs of iron. The fifth empire–the final empire, and the only one that is yet to come into being as fulfilled prophecy–is represented by the feet and toes of that metallic monstrosity.

To my understanding, the five world empires given to Daniel in metallic representations–i.e., gold for the head, silver for the breast and arms, brass or bronze for the belly and thighs, and iron for the legs, feet and toes–is indicative of money and the power to rule over the inhabitants of planet Earth. Metals have most always been at the center of any economy throughout history. And when the metals represented the power to mold and construct weaponry–e.g., spears, bullets, bombs, warcraft-like tanks, planes, and ships, et cetera–the power of the metal and the economies of the world powers become understandable. Money is power, and power is control. These are inextricably linked.

The fifth world power will come from the Roman Empire, which disintegrated but is reforming, we who observe prophecy from the pre-Trib view believe. We believe the European Union is almost certainly the nucleus out of which this last Gentile power is emerging. This is the area of central Europe in particular. Rome is the very heart of that nucleus.

Antichrist Comes Forth

Daniel also prophesied about the last world empire’s leader who would leap to center stage at just the right moment in Satan’s plans to bring him to power:

“And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate” (Daniel 9:26-27).

Antichrist, “the beast,” as this vicious future tyrant is termed, will come to power and rule ruthlessly. His power will emanate from economics–the ability to call all to worship him through a mark-and-numbering system that will control buying and selling. (Read Revelation 13:16-18 to understand this 666 system of absolute control.)

Economics Set the End-times Stage

We are witnessing economic rearrangements at present like no other generation has seen. Even the United States–as anyone with any sense of what’s been going on in the news will attest–is being forced into a mold of one-world economic order. It is all leading toward the mark-and-numbering system that will give Antichrist his power. (Read Revelation 17:12-13 to learn of the ten economic power blocs that will develop, then give power and authority to the Beast–Antichrist, the ruler of the fifth and final world empire.)

Again, the European powers are apparently to be the nucleus of this satanic kingdom of ten kingdoms. However, the whole world will be absorbed into this agglomerate power base.  The following reports the continuing emergence of other areas of the world that will ultimately join so Antichrist can control most of the world once he leaps upon the stage of post-Rapture history.

The agglomerate bloc known as BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) represents growing economic and demographic heft: the eleven BRICS countries now comprise more than a quarter of the global economy and almost half of the world’s population:

“Whether it’s called a BRICS or ‘Western’ order, it is all the WEF-UN global order.

“BRICS-based multipolarity will save us from ‘The Technocratic Dark State’ by making the rollout of an oppressive global surveillance state much better. This will be the result of ‘improving global governance.’ At least, that is according to the BRICS Outcome Document published by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs after the latest riveting meeting of BRICS foreign ministers.

“The global dictatorship will be a happier, fluffier kind of new world order tyranny under the BRICS’ multipolar model because it will be ‘more just, equitable, agile, effective, efficient, responsive, representative, legitimate, democratic and accountable.’ Fantastic news, doubtless welcomed by those Hrvoje Morić refers to as the ‘Multipolaristas.’

“Though the BRICS’ document reads like the worst kind of globalese dross imaginable, it is important to remember that the BRICS are offering us the promise of a ‘beautiful multi-polar world order defined by win-win cooperation.’ Presumably, this is because humanity must have some sort of centralized, oligarch-led global dictatorship enslaving it for any of us to have a chance to ‘win.’”(“BRICS proposes a multipolar world order; it is the same as the WEF-UN led world order under a different name,” By Rhoda Wilson, Expose, May 18, 2026)

Paul the apostle wrote of the economic reality that drives the world toward God’s judgment and wrath:

“But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Timothy 6:9-10a).

Rushing toward the End

Certainly, the truth of God’s Word frames what’s happening at this time in history, and where it all is heading as the rulers of this fallen sphere grasp for the wealth of this world and strive to cast off the bonds of governance God wisely placed upon the would-be masters of planet Earth.

“Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you” (James 5:1-6).

We are in the end-of-the-age era of the toes of Nebuchadnezzar’s night vision.

Only the Rapture of believers stands between the people of planet Earth who will be left behind and this, what Jesus called the worst time of human history (Matthew 24:21).

You don’t want to be part of that left-behind world. Here once again is how to escape that time and go to Christ and safety when He calls believers:

“That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).

 

Is Israel’s Spiritual Blindness a Reason… to Reject Them? :: By Jan Markell

Is Israel’s Spiritual Blindness a Reason for Christians to Reject Them?

Many believers are shocked that God’s land will be defiled once again in June with a gala LGBTQ event at the Dead Sea. In fact, at Sodom and Gomorrah.

In Romans 9–11, Paul argues that God remains faithful to the Jewish people despite their widespread unbelief in Jesus and worldly pursuits, as his promises are irrevocable (Romans 11:29). God maintains a “remnant” by grace, uses Israel’s partial, temporary hardening to bring salvation to the Gentiles, and promises a future restoration where “all Israel will be saved” at the Second Coming (Romans 11:26).

God is a Covenant Keeper!

God has two sets of covenant people: The Jews and believers. He cannot and will not break a covenant with either. That would make him a covenant breaker, not a covenant keeper. We get back to that pesky word irrevocable.

Beyond that, the Bible says that “salvation is of the Jews” (John 4:22). They are a special people to him. But that makes the June event all the more grievous.

Enter “Pride Land”

The Israeli Foreign Ministry promoted the upcoming four-day event, called “Pride Land,” as the “biggest LGBTQ+ festival ever in the Middle East.” Scheduled for early June, the celebration is expected to transform the desert landscape near the Dead Sea into a temporary city featuring hotels, entertainment venues, and round-the-clock programming.

It is the biggest event of its kind in the Middle East because all other Middle East countries throw homosexuals off of buildings or otherwise kill and torment them!

There is obviously symbolic weight in hosting such an event in a region tied so closely to one of the Bible’s most sobering accounts of judgment, but a secular society does not give judgment much thought.

The Dry Bones Lack Breath!

Ezekiel 36 emphasizes that when the Jews return to the land, they will do so in unbelief. There will be spiritual regeneration much later! The dry bones of Ezekiel 37 reflect a lack of breath or spiritual life. God states he is gathering them back “not for your sake but for my holy name’s sake,” because their presence among the nations caused his name to be profaned. Ezekiel 36 promises that once back in the land, God will cleanse them, give them a new spirit, and cause them to walk in his statutes. But much later.

Eventually, there will be spiritual revival, and the land will be as the Garden of Eden (Ezekiel 36:35-36).

How Can You as a Ministry Support This?

The story of Sodom and Gomorrah has long served as a warning about moral decline and the consequences of turning away from God. Thus, I am bombarded with questions as to how many ministries could possibly remain on Israel’s side. What was once remembered as a place of reckoning is now being re-branded as a place of celebration. And for many believers, that is a bridge too far. They are abandoning the ship. They have given up on God’s land and people.

Prophecy News Watch says it well: “There is a long and deeply rooted love for Israel within the Christian community. Many see the nation not just as a geopolitical ally, but as a central thread in God’s redemptive story. They pray for its peace. They defend its existence. They celebrate its resilience. So, when something like this emerges, the reaction is not rejection—it is lament.”

Like other secular societies, Israel needs Jesus. Uniting with Israel does not mean we are aligned with everything the nation and people do. Most are in spiritual blindness. Their leaders are spiritually blind. Most of their military is as well. There is a remnant who are regenerated now. That will change someday.

God’s covenant with Abraham is everlasting (Genesis 12:2-3), the Jewish people are God’s chosen people, and Christianity owes a theological debt to its Jewish roots. Israel’s modern establishment is seen by many as the fulfillment of biblical prophecies.

How Odd of God to Choose the Jews

Let’s remember the words out of Deuteronomy 7:6-8: “For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession. The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath he swore to your forefathers that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.”

God’s eternal purpose is to bless the world through Israel. Our Bible is a Jewish book, and our Savior is a Jewish Savior. Many Jews are coming to faith in the Jewish Messiah more rapidly than at any time in history.

Everyone reading this article was at one time in spiritual darkness. Someone didn’t give up on you, and we must not give up on the Jewish people or the nation of Israel.
