THE a/c must come out of Europe, even out of Rome. The last kingdom in Daniel was Rome which has to be around when Jesus return.
Daniel 7v
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.
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.
15: I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
16: I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
17: These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
18: But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
19: Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
20: And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
21: I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22: Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
Please read this carefully!
The beast
[kingdom] , which you saw, once was
[existed before in John’s time] now is not [the beast (kingdom) does not exist anymore when he had the revelation, this is a previous beast before ROME], and will come [but will reappear again] up out of the Abyss
[It will be Apollyon who will revive this beast, NOT ROME] and go to his destruction. The inhabitants of the earth
whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished
when they see the beast [THE KINGDOM], because he once was
[he existed], now is not [it does not exist at present at the time of ROME], and yet will come.
[he will exist again in the future, this Kingdom] Rev 17:8
“This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills
[there has been or will be seven kingdoms given to Satan to rule directly through] on which the woman sits
[the harlot]. They
[these Kingdoms are kings in them] are also seven kings. Five have fallen
[five rulers no longer exist, but existed in the PAST], one is
[there is a present ruler at the time ROME], the other has not yet come
[The last king remaining, the seventh, the one mentioned above]; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while. The beast
who once was [a king (KINGDOM) that existed before], and
now is not [the beast does not exist at present. If the beast spoken about existed at the time at it was ROME, Then it would not say, is not] then, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction. Rev 17:-9-10
The last beast is made up of many animal parts, that should give some indication of its origin, read Daniel.
If you can not figure out this correctly, then your name is not in the book of life, as simple as that!
