I will begin by bringing up the Book of Daniel chap 7. I will copy some here below as reference material.
Dan 7:2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
Dan 7:3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
Dan 7:4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
Dan 7:5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
Dan 7:6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
Dan 7:7 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.
Dan 7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
My first topic will be the eagles wings that were plucked off and given a mans heart. Who does the eagles wings represent?
We see the wings were attached to a lion but were plucked or ripped off and the eagle still lived unto itself as it is given a heart..
Lets look at the lion, this animal surely represents something as also the bear and the lion and the leopard.
I think that the lion is England, the bear is Russia, and the Leopard is Germany. If each beast stands for a kingdom and a king or a government then we must consider that Daniel is receiving a vision of what governments are in power at the end of this world, the end of this age.
If Russia truly uses the bear as its logos, England the Lion, and Germany the Leopard then it maybe that eagles wings also have a meaning. If the eagles wings do represent a kingdom then we should know. If England came across the ocean and settled America but then America rebelled and made its own country and that country is the United States and then the United States uses the Eagle as its sign then maybe this is why the Eagles wings are said to have been plucked off the Lions back and given a heart. If this is all fact then we can know that the governments of our day are the ones that will be in power at the end of this world.
In the book of Revelations John saw all of these beast put together in one kingdom and one ruler. You see we have the Lion with one head+ the Bear with one head+The leopard with four heads+ The Dreadful beast with one head and ten horns=7 Heads and ten horns. The eagle head is not there in Revelations in the mixed beast so we have a total of 8 heads and 10 horns minus the eagle as it is missing from the beast. I am listing that scripture as reference below.
Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Rev 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
Rev 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Rev 13:7 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.
Rev 13:8 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.
Rev 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
I see this beast has a head or leader or president or dictator that has power over the whole world and has power to overcome saints and to make war with them. His government he controls has all those beast from Daniel 7 except the eagles wings, the mans heart kingdom. Do you know where the eagle is?
The United States will never give its leadership power over to another country. We of the USA are not going to do this. It’s not our nature. If for no other reason we have greedy leaders that will not give up power. Can any of us imagine the U.S. giving Russia leadership power or Italy, etc.? I think no.
On the other hand can you see the other countries giving total power to the United States? Can you see the United States attacking all the foreign powers in barbaric battle to take control? No, I cannot. Can you?
For an example:
What if the United States was wiped off the face of the earth by another country, lets say by nuclear bombs and lets say that we counter attack the other attacker and both are wiped out and annihilated, then would not the world be in chaos? Would not the world be ready to have a one world government if not for any other reason but safety.
The citizens of the world might think that if we are all one country then no one would ever think of going to war with itself. By doing this they may well vote into office the Anti-Christ, maybe at first a group of three or so but finally one will rise from this to become the ruler of this world and I am giving another reference below.
Dan 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Dan 7:26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
Some people believe we may already be in the one world government still others believe it is coming, but these seem to believe its not one Anti-Christ but it is one Anti-Christ.
Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
He is one, not many, he and the false prophet will work together as in a group of 2. This will be not many, like a group of world leaders using the UN, but he will rule the whole world. The reason some say they think it will be a group is they cannot foresee the world being under one mans control. The one man will likely claim to be Christ and he will probably claim that the United States fall was the final battle, spoken of in the book of Revelations, but it is not so.
One more reference to one ruler Anti-Christ.
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
I will list another book, this book is called Esdras. It was in the original 80 book, King James version but taken out some time later possibly about 1789 or so. This verse comes from Esdras 2
2Esdr 12:3
And I saw, and, behold, they appeared no more, and the whole
body of the eagle was burnt so that the earth was in great fear:
then awaked I out of the trouble and trance of my mind, and from
great fear, and said unto my spirit,
2Esdr 12:4
Lo, this hast thou done unto me, in that thou searchest out
the ways of the Highest.
2Esdr 12:5
Lo, yet am I weary in my mind, and very weak in my spirit;
and little strength is there in me, for the great fear wherewith
I was afflicted this night.
2Esdr 12:6
Therefore will I now beseech the Highest, that he will
comfort me unto the end.
2Esdr 12:7
And I said, Lord that bearest rule, if I have found grace
before thy sight, and if I am justified with thee before many
others, and if my prayer indeed be come up before thy face;
2Esdr 12:8
Comfort me then, and shew me thy servant the interpretation
and plain difference of this fearful vision, that thou mayest
perfectly comfort my soul.
2Esdr 12:9
For thou hast judged me worthy to shew me the last times.
2Esdr 12:10
And he said unto me, This is the interpretation of the
vision:
2Esdr 12:11
The eagle, whom thou sawest come up from the sea, is the
kingdom which was seen in the vision of thy brother Daniel.
I tell you I do not believe our time is long before the United States is destroyed and I thank God for true peace. No man will change the Word of God. What do you think?
