FOR ONE "HOUR" "TEN KINGS" SHARE
AUTHORITY WITH THE "WILD BEAST".
(Revelation 17:10-18).

For thousands of years the world has been ruled by empires under the dominion of one king or emperor; until, that is, the emergence of the "eighth king". This "king" is made up of several previous kings, as it is written: It "springs from the seven, and it goes off into destruction." (17:11). In fulfilment, this "eighth king" are the political rulers of the "wild beast" worldwide that collectively rule over nations once ruled by one world ruler. The first world ruler was king Nebuchadnezzar of the Babylonian empire.

It is thought that the number "ten" symbolizes completeness. Currently these "ten" (political) "kings" are called upon to issue resolutions on behalf of all nations of the world. But who are they? They are difficult to identify as the occasions on which they receive kingly authority with the "wild beast" is symbolically described as one "hour", and the political kingly authority they receive through "wild beast" nations is from satan. (13:4) (17:12,13).

With this in mind, there is an assembly of national representatives who regularly exercise one "hour" of political authority, and whose resolutions affect the foreign policies of member states: It is the United Nations Organization (UN). The delegates of this international organization are the "ten kings" ! They and the governments of the political "wild beast" they represent, receive their demonic authority from satan, and are in battle with The Christ Michael the "Lamb" of God and his faithful anointed brothers. (17:14).

As political kingly representatives of all the nations of this world, the "ten kings" and the "wild beast" resent the self righteous invective of unelected religious leaders of the sectarian "harlot" and will devastate "her" by consuming her "fleshy parts" (membership). (17:16). This world empire of sectarian organizations falsely claiming to serve God are destined to receive the "plagues" of "death and mourning and famine" in one symbolic "day" (year) and will be completely burned by the Spirit "fire" of the Lord's Judgement. (18:7,8).

On May 25th 1986, while UN delegates were again assembled for their exercise of one "hour" of authority, sport idols from around the world also gathered to "lend (their) aid" and war against the judicial decision of God against North Africa. (Isaiah 43:1-4. Joel 3:11,12). Omar Khalifa, a renowned Sudanese athlete, lit a torch from the African relief camp fire in Khartoum, Sudan, and carried it through Europe to the United Nations in New York. Simultaneously, the "false prophet" inspired tens of millions of participants in 274 cities and 78 countries to run 10km for donations in support of famine relief in Africa. (16:13,14).

Many thousands also ran in Mexico City in defiance of the 'sounded' warning of the "seventh angel" of God that heralded His anger upon worshippers of false gods such as the Madonna venerated by millions of Mexicans. (10:7). On September 20th 1985 a great earthquake occurred in Mexico City, a tenth of that city fell, and seven thousand men were killed by the earthquake. (11:13,14). It served as a warning of an even greater spirit "earthquake" prophesied to cause cities of the nations to fall:

"And lightnings and voices occurred, and a great earthquake occurred such as had not occurred since men came to be on the earth, so extensive an earthquake, so great. And the great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell; and Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give her the cup of the wine of the anger of His wrath". (16:18,19).
