In this final episode about the Antichrist, I examine Revelation 17:8–13, which gives us the last major biblical description of his activities and focuses specifically on his amazing political power in the end times. This passage describes the beast that “was, is not, and will come”—referring to the Antichrist’s death by assassination, his descent to the abyss, and his resurrection at the midpoint of the Tribulation when he’ll be completely taken over by Satan.
The passage reveals seven heads representing seven sequential empires throughout history: five that have fallen (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece), one that existed when John wrote (Rome), and a seventh yet to come (the revived Roman Empire). The Antichrist emerges from this seventh empire but establishes an eighth—his own global kingdom. The ten horns represent ten kings who will initially rule the reunited Roman Empire simultaneously, but they will transfer all their power and authority to the Beast, allowing him to establish global dominion.
This transfer of power happens after the Antichrist’s death and resurrection amazes the world, though Daniel 7 tells us three of these kings will initially resist him before being uprooted. The passage emphasizes that despite his apparent power, the Beast “goes to destruction”—reminding us that God remains in control and this global dictator’s doom is certain. The movements we see in our world today toward globalization and consolidation of power suggest this prophecy may not be far from fulfillment.

The End Times Timeline: God’s Eternal Plan Revealed
This small comprehensive book, The End Times Timeline provides believers with an accessible framework for understanding biblical prophecy. It traces God's prophetic program from the Old Testament through the eternal state. What's particularly noteworthy is how current events align with ancient predictions—Israel's restoration, technological advances enabling global surveillance, and the geopolitical alignment of nations mentioned in Ezekiel 38–39.
The timeline identifies key prophetic milestones: the Rapture preceding the Tribulation, the rise of Antichrist, the rebuilt Temple, and Christ's Second Coming. While some debate the timing of particular events like the Gog-Magog War, the overall framework reflects solid Bible research. This resource serves as an excellent tool for both new believers seeking prophetic clarity and mature Christians desiring to understand their place in God's unfolding plan.
