From Rome to America to the NWO – It’s All About Bread and Circuses
But notice also that in this same passage of Scripture, all of this – from John’s perspective – still represents only one beast. What that means is that all previous empires though defeated, simply segue from one into another. By the time the Roman Empire rises, it has incorporated aspects of all previous empires. We see this clearly in verse 2 when we note that this beast coming up out of the sea has feet like a bear, a mouth like a lion, and overall, was like a leopard. This beasts power comes from the dragon – Satan. This final beast is an enlargement of the old Roman Empire.
Where Will This New Islamic Caliphate Lead?
What is interesting about the fourth empire is how it morphed over time. It began as a fairly cohesive unit, but then broke into an eastern and western “leg.” Each leg then went through several changes as we travel down to the feet and toes. All of this is a matter of history.
However, the ten kings (toes) have not come to the fore yet in all of history, so we can rightly assume that this is still yet future. Many portions of Scripture attest to this fact.
