TEN TOES ON THE IMAGE OF DANIEL 2.
TEN HORNS ON THE BEAST OF DANIEL 7:7 AND REVELATION 13:6.
TEN FUTURE GLOBAL BIO-REGIONS FOR A NEW WORLD ORDER.

The ten future global powers and their eventual leaders have not yet emerged into history. (Dan 7) But they most certainly will. Daniel said that these ten powers would rise up in the latter days of this age. Eventually they would be ruled over by one man, a certain "prince". (See Daniel 9:24,25,26,&27.) The ten horns also relate to the ten toes on the image Nebuchadnezzar saw. The image was struck and destroyed by the smiting stone. This was Nebuchadnezzar's dream which he had forgotten, the dream his conscious mind refused to acknowledge. But the emotional impact of the king's dream was enormous. He was having his worst nightmare. But content and the meaning of the dream were both hidden from him. That is why in a frenzy he called for all his magicians and soothsayers. Of course they failed to deliver. The prophet Daniel was summoned to appear before the king. And under the influence of the Holy Spirit he retrieved the deleted dream. Daniel then interpreted the dream for the king. (See Daniel chapter 2)
John the Apostle saw the very same ten horned beast that Daniel saw. He saw it in two separate visions. The ten horned beast apparently operates in two different time frames. In Revelation 17 John saw the ten horned beast being ridden by a harlot. This would appear to be in the earlier half of the 70th Week of Daniel.
In Revelation 13 John saw the ten-horned beast come up out of the sea, representing an emergence of a political entity from out of the nations. The riding ruling harlot is not in view in this vision. John is seeing the beast alone and at a later time period when the ten horns are crowned with ten diadems. The crowns represent sovereignty. So as John saw the beast in Revelation 13 it was at the stage when the ten horns are given sovereign rule. They, the ten kings, ten future global rulers will be given the power of rule. The harlot is not featured here in this vision of Revelation 13. So at this time we may conclude that she is no longer holding the reins of political power. In Revelation 13 John is seeing the ten horned beast in the very same time period that Daniel saw it in Daniel 7. The harlot, who ruled in that former 3.5 year time period, has been bucked off and gored. The harlot is no longer in the picture. This would be during the second half of the 70th week.
The ten horned beast in the later view has ten diadems. From what the Holy Scriptures tell us about the character of the Harlot we know that she would not have relinquished power and allowedthis to happen by her own choice. Her "choice" has always been to please herself and usurp power whenever she can, keeping that power to herself. So we may consider it most probable that the rising beast with the ten horns and ten diadems has thrown off the harlot. These ten horns crowned with ten diadems would therefore represent rulers who exercise sovereign power in their own right and in their own respective geo-political area. The little horn of Daniel 7:8 and Daniel 8:9 will rise up to displace three of those horns.
Revelation 13 describes the beast when the thing is no longer under harlot moderation or control. When John sees him in Revelation 13 and when Daniel sees him in Daniel 7 the beast is truly fearsome. Midway through the seven years the Antichrist rises up to commit the Abomination of Desolation. See Daniel 9:27 After that outrage he is no longer the peacemaking "Mr. Nice-guy". Now the Kraken wakes and the Antichrist has been transformed from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde. He is now a man possessed. The Antichrist has been taken over by the beast-demon from the bottomless pit/Abyss. (Rev.17:8) He is now fully revealed as the Beast of 666 and the Great Tribulation.
The character change here is striking. Both Daniel (Dan.7) and John (Rev.13) saw the beast heading up this global system. Daniel tells of him behaving in an abominable and unprecedented way. He is given power for the space of three and a half (Biblical 360 day) years (Dan.7:25) or 42 (Biblical 30 day) months (Rev.13:5. Both Daniel and John saw him blaspheming God, persecuting the saints, and winning politically and militarily over all those who come against him. (Daniel 7:11&25 and Revelation 13:5,6,&7)
Since the time given in Revelation 13 is 42 months we are bound to conclude that the 666 Beast we see here is in a 3.5 year time frame which follows after the midweek "abomination of desolation". (Dan.9:27) We are looking here at the ten horned beast during the 666 system. This is the second half of the 70th week. This of course matches up with the period of the Great Tribulation Jesus spoke about in the Olivet Discourse. (Mat.24:15,16,17,18,19,20,&21) This coincides as well with the 1260 day trampling of Jerusalem by the Gentiles (Rev.11:2) along with the flight of the woman and the Bozrah exile involving the covenant people of God. The prophet Micah gives a further perspective on this in Micah 2:12,&13. To learn more of this stupendous untold end-time story of exile and deliverance see this article..
The raging of nations against the coming of Messiah is a key to our understanding of what is happening in the end-time drama. It also gives us an insight into the outrageous genocidal acts against Jews and Biblical Christians seen in medieval and modern history. Biblically speaking "the nations" are the heathen. We must not nurture any illusions here. As King David sang in Psalm 2, the nations are raging. They are raging against Israel's coming Messiah.
Humanistic mankind, whether they be secular humanists or religious humanists, have one thing in common. Both of them are subject to dark spirits that are anti-Messianic or anti-Christian. Humanists do not like the idea of the Second Coming of Christ as Messiah one bit! In most cases they are deceived and quite unaware of how they are being used by their dark angels. But the spirits pulling their strings are not deceived. They know full well what they are doing. They are out to block the Biblical message, stop the 5th seal end time witness of the saints. In this false and vain hope they believe that this will stop Messiah from returning in Judgment.
Of course they will fail. God's truth has been written in His Word. But they deny it and seek to deny it to mankind. And so they believe their own lies. So this raging of nations against the coming rule of Messiah is all in vain. It is a futile exercise. King David's song laid out the end-time conspiracy of the nations. The heathen are raging against the Second Coming of Messiah. David wrote the song way back around 1,000 B.C. It is sitting there in Psalm 2. The campaign of disinformation is therefore directed against the coming Messiah AND His witnesses.
The powers of darkness, angelic and human, are in an absolute tizzy over this end-time witness. But in this song of David the God of Israel is watching from His throne above. As the song goes on we see that the Ancient of Days does not seem too concerned about this. He is not worried at all. In fact He is laughing.
But this history must unfold. The chronicles of God's people must be written, and they will be written. There will be crises to be sure. And crisis managers will rise up calling for further compromises. The money will not be there to deal. And on a terrible future day the flags and sovereignties of nations will folded up and placed down on the dealing table. The final world system will then emerge, supposedly to try and deal with all this economic and political turmoil. Strange to say, it will be during this time of chaos that the New World Order, under a covering harlot religious system, will sneak in and assume enormous international powers. Apparently this coming prince will be quite an impressive and persuasive orator when he comes on the scene. Stepping aside to allow "the lady" to go first will be his subtle move. Working behind the scenes he will be a very capable crisis manager on a global scale. He will pull strings and get things done by treaty, entering into the key places of conflict in the world, not least of which is the Holy Land and the city of Jerusalem.
This sounds impossible to us right now. But in a time of crisis we can expect that crisis managers will rise up. They take over the media, declare an "emergency", and proceed to rule dictatorially. This is precisely what Oliver Cromwell, the Puritan leader did in England. After the defeat and beheading of the King Parliamentary rule continued. But lacking a visible executive leadership it descended into a political bed of corruption. Parliamentary rule at that time was a bare legislative branch of government. It compromised itself and England collapsed into a state of near anarchy. Into this crisis stepped Oliver Cromwell. It was a crisis, to be sure. And he, a Puritan of the first order, was a crisis manager. Thus he became the Puritan dictator of England. See these 17 articles on the Anglo-American Puritans.
Typically political crisis managers, (given the necessary crisis), are given enormous political power to "set things right". This is why German leader Hindenburg gave the chancellorship to Adolf Hitler back in the early 1930's. There had been riots in the streets between communists and fascists. Someone had to "take charge". Often, as was the case with Hitler, these pretenders just end up seizing the power themselves anyway.
The Biblical prophecy in Daniel 9:27 is clear. All the powers of the world will give this man significant and telling sovereignty over their own realms. They will do this by a treaty or a covenant. The deal will be for a period of seven years. - Dan.9:27
From what the prophet Daniel tells us the New World Order will emerge initially as a peacemaking entity. Supposedly it will be attempting to ensure peace and security on earth. An epic peace treaty with Israel will be in the works. The deal will call for Israel to give up her sovereignty to some or all of the Holy Land. The Holy City of Jerusalem may be there in the deal as well. The covenant will be time limited to 7 years.
At the midpoint of the agreed on seven years the character of the New World Order and its leader will change. - Dan.9:27b The false messiah or peacemaking Antichrist, will then assume a new more beastly and malignant identity. This will be a case of "no more Mr. Nice guy". At that time, the midpoint of the seven years, the New World Order will become tyrannical. - Dan.9:27 At the midpoint of the 7 years the NWO will come under under direct Luciferian 666 rule. By that time the raging of nations will be well underway. - Psalm 2:1,2,3,4,5,&6.
But all is not lost. John the beloved saw the flight of the woman during this very same time period. See Revelation Chapter 12, specifically Rev. 12:6 and Rev. 12:14.
