FINAL WARNING: The Curtain Falls
within the boundaries of the Holy Roman Empire: parts of Morocco,
Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya; Egypt; part of Saudi Arabia; Jordan, Israel,
Syria, and Turkey; Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, part
of the Netherlands, England, part of Germany, Switzerland, Austria,
Italy, Greece, part of Hungary, part of Yugoslavia, part of Romania,
Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania, Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia and
Herzegovina.
Let’s look at the ten horns or kingdoms, which many initially thought
was represented by the original Common Market countries of France,
West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, England,
Denmark, Ireland, and Greece. The impact of the theory was lessened
upon the later addition of Spain, Portugal, and Austria, which made a
total of thirteen nations in what is now called the European Union.
However, some still tried to make the argument, because Denmark and
Ireland were not part of the Roman Empire.
Another fact that supports the theory that the ten kings symbolically
represent the area of western Europe is that there are only ten
kingdoms, or monarchies now in western Europe: Belgium, Denmark,
Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Spain,
Sweden, and the United Kingdom (Northern Ireland; Great Britain–
England, Wales, Scotland).
Another confirming theory emanates from Daniel 9:26 which says: “...
the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the
sanctuary...” The people that destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple in
70 AD were the Romans. Revelation 14:8 says: “Babylon (sometimes
perceived as a symbolic name for Rome) is fallen, that great city,
because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication.”
According to Daniel 7:20, this leader of the eleventh country, will go
against three of these nations, and defeat them. Yet, Revelation speaks
of the ten kings pledging their allegiance to the Antichrist. Do these
ten include the eleventh nation of the Antichrist? Will he defeat the
three nations, and replace them in the federation with his, and two
others? Or will the three defeated nations remain, under the leadership
of the eleventh? What is the purpose for the Antichrist to go against
these three nations? Is it because they were not originally part of the
