God's Word states that only seven empires will exist in world history before Christ returns. The key verse proving this statement is Revelation 17:10: "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."

The five fallen empires referred to by John in this verse are Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, Medo-Persia and Greece. The one that ruled at the time John wrote the book of Revelation was Rome. One more final empire would arise, but there would first be a long delay. That global power would be the "Revived Roman Empire." Out of this final group of nations the figure known as the Antichrist would emerge and reign for a brief period - just 84 months.

Is this period way off in the distant future? No! It is right around the corner. The world is on the very brink of submission to this latter day power. This Revived Roman Empire is presently assembling and organizing itself under the aegis of the European Union - a federal Superstate that will form the basis for the last one-world government. This dictatorship under Antichrist rules with supernatural power, advanced 21st-century technological police-state know-how, and unimaginable terror and ruthlessness. Is it in the making?

The European Community created the European Monetary institute in January 1994. The institute is scheduled to become a central bank issuing a single currency no later than 1999.

The European Union is formulating common foreign and security policies with defense issues handled by the Western European Union. By 1996, all defense policies are to be made jointly.

The European Union is rapidly dissolving the ideas of national sovereignty in a giant step toward globalism and one-world government.

The Superstate is preparing the way for a more powerful central government - one that will eventually be headed by a world dictator.
