The Prostitute and the 10 Kings continued.
The sixth kingdom described in Daniel chapter two is the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire was divided into two distinct regions: the Western and Eastern parts. Emperor Constantine assigned the oversight of the Western region to the Bishop of Rome. However, the Bishop of Rome’s selfish ambitions distracted students of the books of Daniel and Revelation. As a result, they concluded that ten kings would emerge from the religious environment in the Western region. Nevertheless, the Western area represents only half of the Roman Empire.
As a result, they focused on religious and politically influential figures in the Western region, while overlooking those in the Eastern region. Students studying the books of Daniel and Revelation should note that none of the previous six kingdoms were religious kingdoms. Therefore, the seventh kingdom is not a religious one.
The revived beast from the sea, the WTO, is actively working toward a single global economy and trade system, characterized by free trade among the world’s nations. The ten kings will maintain the global free trade system during the Millennium. Movement and travel by people will not be limited. All religions around the world will be tolerated. The seventh kingdom will not have a favored religion. Having a preferred religion proved to be a problem for previous empires, and it will not benefit the seventh kingdom either.
The main goal of the seventh kingdom is to achieve global peace and material prosperity. Global economic growth is essential for sustaining worldwide peace. However, the current approach to the global economy is inherently cyclical. As a result, a coordinated global recession is expected, which will be more severe than any in human history. This could lead to a threat of worldwide anarchy. Therefore, global peace will be maintained by the three military powers involved in the trilateral plan. They will uphold peace through a global martial decree. While military force can ensure peace, economic prosperity cannot be guaranteed. Consequently, the scale of future global disasters will be unparalleled.
