The Fourth Beast: The One World Government Stage
Dani’el 7: 23b and c
The fourth beast: the one world government stage DIG: Is this one world government Rome? Why or why not? How similar or dissimilar will it be to the dream of Nazi Germany? How do you think it will crush and trample the whole earth?
The next three stages of the Empire of Imperialism are all in the future. Eventually, the east-west balance of power collapsed. Once this happens, it will usher in a one world government stage, probably before the Great Tribulation starts.
This kingdom will be different from all the other kingdoms because it will devour the whole earth (Dani’el 7:23b).
Dear Heavenly Father, We bow before such great wisdom and infinite love. Though this fourth kingdom will devour the whole earth – You are greater still! God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Yeshua every knee should bow, in heaven and on the earth and under the earth, and every tongue profess that Yeshua the Messiah is Lord – to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:9b-11). Though in the future there will be plagues, battles and many die; yet your hand is sovereign over it all and You have won the final end-times battle. Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. . .And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh. (Revelation 19:11-16, 19-21). We worship you, our Almighty Father. In the name of Your Son and the power of His resurrection. Amen
The whole earth is the same term used of The Flood during the time of Noah (Genesis 8:9, 9:19, 11:1; Isaiah 6:3, 14:26, 28:22, 54:5; Jeremiah 15:10; Dani’el 2:39; Zechariah 4:10-14). Rome never devoured the whole earth. In fact, Rome did not even conquer as much of the whole earth as the Greek Empire, which extended its boundaries as far as the Indus River in India. Nor did Rome fully conquer the Parthian Empire, and that, too, was part of the whole earth. Scotland was part of the whole earth that Rome did not conquer. In AD 117, the Roman Emperor Hadrian ordered a wall built, 73 miles long, “to separate the Romans from the Barbarians.” However, northern Scotland, where the Barbarians lived, was part of the known world. So Rome conquered neither the whole earth nor the whole known world.
But the Empire of Imperialism does eventually conquer the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it (Dani’el 7:23c). The pictures a one world government, and until you have a one world government, the ten kingdoms stage cannot exist. Consequently, it us useless to try to find the ten kingdoms in the European Union. Today there are 27 EU members. It is important to remember that Bible prophecy is never fulfilled generally. It is always fulfilled specifically. And much of what passes for “fulfillment” today in many Bible prophecy books are based upon one point of similarity. Bible prophecy is not fulfilled that way. It is fulfilled completely, or it isn’t fulfilled at all. This stage is still future.
