~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~
POSSIBLE FUTURE GROUPINGS OF NATIONS, [‘POWER BLOCS’], Who’s LEADERS maybe/could be - THE ‘TEN KINGS/ HORNS’ written about in REVELATION 17: 3,12,16, & chapter 18, that will support A ONE WORLD SUPREME LEADER, ‘THE ANTI-CHRIST’,
who will be TOTALLY AGAINST THE ETERNAL GOD’S MESSIAH, JESUS CHRIST.
[These are only our suggestions based on the emerging groups of nations, even now.]
1. Africa, the continent of many different nations & ethnic groups.
2. ‘Arabia’, might include all ‘Arab’ nations, (plus other large ethnic groups), Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Gulf States, [Kuwait, U.A.E. Qatar, Bahrain,] and Yemen.
3. North America, [USA & Canada], & Mexico.
4.South America, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Columbia, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela.
5. Central Asia, Afghanistan, Burma, Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, Pakistan, & Vietnam. (Also well over 1.5 billion people).
6. China. [Has the largest population of any nation in the world, over 1 billion people.]
7. Southeast Asia, Indonesia/Borneo, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Philippines.
8. Europe, 27 nations.
9. Oceania, Australia, Fiji, New Zealand, Polynesia, Micronesia, & all Island states in Pacific.
10. Russian Federation (includes nearby States.)
From a Biblical, Christian perspective future ‘End time’ Leaders will be very significant!
We refer especially to ‘the False-messiah’ or ‘Antichrist’ & those who support him, especially a powerful ‘False Prophet’, as well as “10 kings” or powerful leaders.
Whichever groups the ‘kings’ or leaders will represent, it is clear that the entire world will one day, (through their Leaders), give their allegiance to the False-messiah/Antichrist, so enabling him to rule the world his evil way. [See Revelation 13 & 17.]
Some of these Leaders could be alive now, though we do not know who they are.
We do NOT believe ISRAEL will be represented by any of the above.
This is because we believe they will have recognised that ADONAI Yeshua is their only King, so they will have a separate treaty/covenant with the False Messiah.
This will be because - at a certain point of time - as a result of a seemingly final threat of annihilation from the huge Magog Army, (as described in Ezekiel 36 –39) Israel will become a HOLY NATION before the whole world, and then refuse to come under the control of the False-messiah, also called the Antichrist, claiming to be a great ‘saviour’!
(It is the world control of this man that is being prepared for by the joint efforts of ‘The Earth Council’ & The Association of Civilisations, & related Groups.)
It is known that the False-messiah will make a separate treaty/agreement with the renewed nation of Israel;ordering every Jew to return to a greatly enlarged ‘Holy Land’, (as originally promised by the God of Israel), & will agree to them building the third Temple.
ISRAEL’ LEADERS during the 1st decade of the 21st Century:
Bible reading Believers have a special interest in Leaders in Israel, such as the President of Israel, Shimon PERES
& P.M. Ehud OLMERT, & Vice-P.M. (Ms) Tzipi LIVNI,
because they are the God permitted Leaders at present, of His chosen nation of Israel.
It is even possible God will allow ‘weak’ leadership to emerge in the next few years of this 21st Century, in order to facilitate the false peace prior to the Ezekiel War later on where they will realise they desperately need ADONAI, alone!
Somehow as Scripture indicates, this tiny nation will continue to draw the focus of the rest of the world, because of the SPIRITUAL battle they represent, of who is really the Supreme God of this world. We can literally see fulfillment of the words of the Prophet Zechariah, (in chapter 12.)
“This is the Word of the LORD concerning Israel.
ADONAI, Who stretches out the Heavens, Who lays the foundation of the Earth, & Who forms the spirit of man within him, declares:
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it."
God will work out His purposes of blessing for Israel, in
His way, and in His time, dealing with any enemies who come against her.
This will be for the fulfillments of His promises & for the Glory of His own great Name!

The ‘pieces’ of final foretold events, Jesus & the prophets warned us of, and faithfully recorded in the Holy Bible, are gradually becoming more evident every passing month.
May God give us wisdom, humility & grace to discern what we need to, as we turn our ‘watching’ into prayer & holy living for Jesus/Yeshua our Saviour & God.
