The Eight Kings Of Revelation
by David J. Stewart
October 2009 | Updated July 2014
Revelation 17:10-11,
“And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other
is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And
the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the
seven, and goeth into perdition.”
The Bible speaks of 8 kings. At the time Revelation 17:10-11 was written, 5
kings had come and gone, one was in power, and 2 were yet to come in the
future. This is a fascinating teaching in the Word of God, and an important
key to understanding Biblical prophecy. The following Old Testament passage
of Scripture explains Nebuchadnezzar's image (which he saw in a dream from
God) to the right...
Daniel 2:31-35, “Thou, O
king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose
brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was
terrible. This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of
silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, Thou sawest till that a stone
was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were
of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay,
the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and
became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind
carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone
that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.”
The kings are world powers
throughout history. At present, there have been 6 world powers. These are
(in chronological order): Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and
Rome. The 7th king will be world government (aka, the New World Order). The
man of sin, the Antichrist, is the 8th and final king and will arise FROM
the 7th kingdom. The “stone” cut out of the mountain without hands will be
the Second Coming of the precious Lord Jesus Christ in power, preeminence
and prophetic fulfillment. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
We see these different world
powers mentioned throughout the Scriptures...
- In the Old Testament, Moses
lived during the reign of Egypt as a world power.
- We read about Isaiah during
the time of Assyria as a world power.
- Babylon ruled the world
during the times of Daniel, Jeremiah and Ezekiel.
- Daniel, Ezra and Nehemiah
lived during the times of Medo-Persian power.
- The reign of Greece occurred
during the silent years between the Old and New Testaments, when the
Septuagint was written (a Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures).
- And finally, we see Rome as
a world power during the time of our Lord Jesus Christ throughout the
New Testament. It is very interesting to see these 6 world powers
mentioned throughout the Scriptures, beginning with Egypt and ending
with Rome.
Studying the Scriptures, with these different
corresponding and reigning secular world powers in view, opens a whole new
understanding to the Word of God concerning history and Biblical prophecy.
No other book in existence has this unique feature, that is, spanning
thousands of years and prophetic in nature. The Bible is composed of 29%
prophecy! Who can argue the divine nature of the Word of God!!!
Rome fell in 486 A.D. and there has been no
world power since. The United States, China and Russia are super powers; but
there have been no WORLD powers controlling the entire world since the Roman
empire. No one country dominates the world today. This is represented by the
mixed toes of clay and iron in Nebuchadnezzar's image, that is, freedom
co-existing worldwide with Communist tyranny. North Korea is a total
monstrous dictatorship in 2013, but thankfully, most other nations are
still considered free.
Please note that the 7th empire will
NOT be the revived Roman empire. The Bible never says that the Roman empire
will be restored. Many theologians reasonably thought in centuries past that
the oppressive reign of the Roman Catholic religion identified Catholicism
as the coming Beast system of the Antichrist. I would have errantly thought
the same thing in view of the murderous atrocities committed by the Roman
Church for over a millennium of history. However, we are privileged today to
have a much clearer understanding of secret societies, the Illuminati's
history and the New World Order in general.
Thousands of secular and religious
books have been authored on the subject, most authors obscure and unknown.
Consider this very interesting book authored in 1919
by Samuel Z. Batten,
titled
THE NEW WORLD ORDER
(.pdf file). Thus, we understand today in 2013 that “The Great Whore” of
Revelation is very likely the Illuminati (the “synagogue of Satan,”
Revelation2:9) who have fornicated with the kinds of the earth.
Revelation 18:3, “For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with
her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance
of her delicacies.” Revelation 19:2, “For true and righteous are his
judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth
with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her
hand.” The
Catholic Pope in my opinion will be the False Prophet.
The Antichrist will be of Jewish origin.
Who Are The Illuminati? What Is The
Illuminati?
(the mystery of
iniquity doth work)
The 7th king will be the New World
Order. The 8th king will be the Antichrist (Revelation 17:11).
We see this monstrosity forming before our very
eyes today. There has been much talk in the mainstream newsmedia about the
New World Order. Paul Warburg made this telling prediction back in 1950
before the U.S. Senate . . .
"We shall have World Government,
whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government
will be achieved by conquest or consent."

Paul Warburg, while speaking before the United States Senate, February
17, 1950
Here are the words of
Illuminist, David Rockefeller, from 1991 at a Bilderberg meeting . . .
"We are grateful to the Washington
Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications
whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises
of discretion for almost forty years."
"It would have been impossible for us
to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights
of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more
sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The
supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is
surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past
centuries."

Rockefeller, Bilderberger Meeting, Baden, Germany, June 1991
The New World Order is
upon us. The New World Order is the 7th king. This will be a global
government, A Godless Totalitarian Communist Police State, a world power
headed by the United Nations and The Council On Foreign Relations.

Domination!
The 8th King Will Be A Man, The
ANTICHRIST!
The 8th king will be a man, the Antichrist, who
will be of the 7th world power according to Revelation 17:11, i.e., he will
be a part of the New World Order, rising to power from it. Check out the
occult imagery in Jimmy Buffet and Toby Keith's latest horrible song, “TOO
DRUNK TO KARAOKE.” The image of SANTA (SATAN) looking down upon The
Great Pyramid teaches us what the
All Seeing Eye truly represents.
I
believe that Revelation chapter 18 speaks concerning the total economic
destruction of the United States. At present there are 35,000,000 Americans
receiving government Food Stamps (the number is 46,600,000 as of September
2012[1]).
The unemployment rate is at 16% nationwide. Tens-of-millions of U.S.
citizens have lost their homes.
The Obama administration is calling this a “jobless
recovery.” What an insult! The jobs aren't coming back, because there
are no jobs to come back... they've all been outsourced to foreign slave
labor! Americans are actually being
forced to compete with illegal immigrants for what jobs remain, because
of the high treason of our officials in Washington D.C. Americans are going
to be MUCH poorer in the very near future. Our dollar is on the verge of
total collapse. America's economy will collapse in one hour (Revelation
18:10,17,19).
Oh, friend, we are living in the Last Days. I
am not setting any dates for the Lord's return, but the New World Order is
the Beast System of the Antichrist, and it's forming right before our eyes.
Truly, the Lord's return is imminent.
Are you ready to enter into eternity? Do you
have Christ's righteousness, which is solely by faith in Jesus? Salvation
happens when a person acknowledges their guilt of sin (Romans 3:19), and
comes to God on the basis that they are a hell-deserving sinner; believing
on Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God, for forgiveness of sins (Acts 10:43).
In response to our faith, God the Father imputes (attributes) the
righteousness of His dear Son to our record in Heaven (Romans 4:6). When God
views us from that moment forward, He sees the righteousness of Christ
instead of our sins. Thus, we are made clean by the precious blood of Jesus
Christ, which takes our sins away forever (Revelation 1:5). Praise God!
Jesus said that men would not know the exact
day nor hour when He would return, but Jesus didn't say that we couldn't
know the times. The handwriting is all over the wall. Granted, throughout
history people have errantly thought that the end was near; such as in 1844
when Seventh Day Adventism was born out of a failed prophecy for
Christ to return. The difference is that I am not setting any dates. I do
not know when Christ will return. Yet, only a fool would deny that the world
is headed for World Government. This is the 7th kingdom in Revelation
17:10-11. The 8th will be the Antichrist, whom the Bible says will arise
from the 7th kingdom. Signs of Satan
are everywhere. 666 is everywhere.
One
thing is certain, this world is getting ugly. Apostasy is everywhere.
Corrupt Bibles are everywhere. Entertainment has replaced singing gospel
hymns in our churches. Psychology has replaced Bible-preaching. Women
preachers are epidemic, all corrupt in their theology, all rebelling against
God just as the feminists and lesbians. God has ordained it to be masculine
authority in the home, marriage and church. Anything else is apostasy. Women
don't belong in the pulpit, nor any position which usurps authority over a
man. Women are to keep silent in the church, having a meek and quite spirit
as the Bible commands (1st Peter 3:4).
Perverted
gender-equality Bibles, women preachers and the homosexualization of
society are paving the way for a Police State. This is because rebellion
amongst women has ruined our children and country. Everything rests upon
mothers. Eve led Adam into sin. Without godly mothers there will be no godly
preachers in the next generation. Women are not to blame more than men for
sin, but my point is that when Satan wants to destroy a society, he goes
after the woman. If Satan can get the woman, then he has the children and
the men will follow. The evil monster-holes behind the New World Order know
this, which is why they went after Brother Lester Roloff with everything
they had to shut him down. Brother Roloff was turning out a generation of
godly mothers, the Devil's biggest fear.
The 8 kings of Revelation are a telling
indicator of where we are at in history's time line. So far, 6 kings have
fallen, and the 7th is now coming to power, which will give ascendancy to
the Antichrist himself. The Bible teaches that the Rapture (i.e., being
“caught up” — 1st Thessalonians 4:17) will precede the Tribulation Period,
which means that the Church must be removed from the world before the
Antichrist appears. So I say to you all... the trumpet is out of the case!
