The fourth beast appears and Daniel says of it: After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. (Daniel 7:7)

This beast is clearly the kingdom of the anti-Christ. We have spanned the ages from Nebuchadnezzar up to the last empire before our Lord comes back to destroy the kingdoms of this world and set up an everlasting kingdom. It is in the "night vision" and as such points to his visions upon his bed but also the darkness of the time when this beast shows up. It is not described in detail but it is dreadful, terrible and exceedingly strong. It's weapons seem to be it's teeth which are of iron and it's feet. If we go back to the last kingdom in Nebuchadnezzar's dream you will find the iron mixed with the clay in the feet and toes. The image would have had ten toes. This beast has 10 horns. The 10 horns match the dragon of Revelation 12:3, Revelation 13:1 and Rev. 17:3. The "dragon kingdom" is the last kingdom before Jesus comes back at the end of the tribulation. I have tried to point out the supernatural mix of the fallen ones and Satan in political world from the beginning with Nimrod. Satan clearly has his minions in control in powerful nations. Also as I have stated you cannot discern an angel from a mortal unless the angel chooses to reveal himself as such. Satan is "the god of this world" 2 Cor. 4:4 and God has clearly told us that his ministers have been transformed into that which seems good (2 Cor. 11:15) just as he has transformed himself from a fallen cherub (Ezek. 28:14) to and angel of light.(2 Cor. 11:14) We should not be surprised then to find the world in such a mess just before God calls His Church out and then proceeds to bring judgment on the evil of this world.

For years the 10 horns have been interpreted as being the European Union revived under the Papacy. I would suggest you count the member nations of the U.N. at present. I don't believe the number is 10 but has surpassed that several years ago. This shows the fallacy of trying to pin these prophecies down to particular nations. God does not see things as we see them. At the present heading I would say venture to guess the possibility of the 10 horns being 10 Muslim nations allied under Satan who will appear in the form of a man. Just as Jesus was God incarnate the anti-Christ will be Satan incarnate.

I would assume the feet to be the marching armies numbered in the millions. Can you imagine the hordes that could be produced by a union of Russia, China, Syria, Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, Libya, Iraq, Yemen and Ethiopia? I am not saying this is the alliance but I am saying a similar alliance could field a very formidable army. When God starts stomping don't you know the blood would run to the horses bridles! (Rev. 14:20)

What nations make up the 10 horns I don't know but I do know that no one will be able to stand against it until the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS comes back to show them who is boss!

The reason I concentrated on the Muslim nations is because that is where things seem to be going and these are the ones who so oppose Christianity. They more than any others will kill a Christian without batting an eye. If they will strap bombs on their own children and gladly send them to their doom don't know they would gladly persecute anyone who would not take the mark of the beast if that mark is connected to their religion.

They are also infiltrating every area of the world. It is the fastest growing religion, bar none!!

By the way. Have you noticed ol "nut job" in Iran is bragging they are going to slam the west tomorrow in such a way as to astonish the west? We'll see.
