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 worldwide today, this "eighth king" are the political rulers of the "wild beast" that collectively rule over nations once ruled by one world ruler. The first world ruler was king Nebuchadnezzar of the Babylonian empire.

Spiritually speaking, "ten" is known to symbolize 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" are described as one symbolic "hour", and they receive their political kingly authority from satan through the "wild beast". (13:4. 17:12,13).

With this in mind, let me draw your attention to an assembly of national representatives who regularly exercise one "hour" of political authority, and whose resolutions affect the foreign policies of member states: The United Nations (UN). The delegates of this international organisation are the "ten kings"! They, and the political "wild beast" governments they represent, receive demonic authority from satan, and are in battle with The Christ Michael the "Lamb" of God. (17:14).

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

On May 25^th 1986, while UN delegates were again assembled for the 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 in 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, tens of millions of participants in 274 cities and 78 countries were inspired by the "false prophet" to run 10km for donations in support of African famine relief charities.

Many thousands also ran in Mexico City, in defiance of the warning "sounding" of the "seventh angel" of God heralding His anger upon idol worshippers of false gods such as the Madonna venerated by millions of Mexicans. On September 20^th last year a great earthquake occurred in Mexico City, a tenth of that city fell, and seven thousand men were killed. (11:13,14). But this earthquake 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).
