The Second Horn :: By Randy Nettles

An infamous map that divided the world into different regions was drawn up and published in 1942, after the attack on Pearl Harbor and the entry of the U.S.A. into World War II. The Outline of the Post-War New World Map was created and self-published by Maurice Gomberg of Philadelphia, PA, on February 25, 1942. More on this and the proposed map can be found on Outline of the Post-War New World Map – Wikipedia.

The Club of Rome was established in 1968 after a think-tank of scientists, politicians, heads of state, financiers, and industrialists from ten different countries met at David Rockefeller’s private estate in Bellagio, Italy. It was established with a membership of 75 prominent elites from 25 different countries, with many of the executives coming from NATO. The Club of Rome functions as a research institute on economic, political, and social problems, and claims that “there is no other viable alternative to the future survival of civilization than a new global community under a common leadership.”

On September 17, 1973, the Club of Rome released a report called the “Regionalized and Adaptive Model of the Global World System.” This model plan would unite the entire world under a single form of government by dividing it into ten political/economic regions. These ten regions would be: North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Japan, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, South and Southeast Asia, China, and the rest of the developed world. The report claimed that “the solution of these crises can be developed only in a global context with full and explicit recognition of the emerging world system and on a long-term basis. This would necessitate, among other changes, a new world economic order and a global resources allocation system.”

In 1976, the C.O.R. published another report called “Reshaping the International Order,” which called for a new international order, including an economic redistribution of wealth. They also called for depopulation through sterilization, abortion, contraception, genocide, and starvation through creating famines and diseases. In Taylor Caldwell’s 1976 novel Ceremony of the Innocent, she writes, “There will be no peace in the tormented world, only a programmed and systematic series of wars and calamities- until the plotters have gained their objective: an exhausted world willing to submit to a planned Marxist economy and total and meek enslavement- in the name of peace.”

In the fifty years since 1973, there have been many regional trade agreements between two or more governments/countries for the purpose of trade and commerce, such as the EU (Europe), CSME (Caribbean), EAEU (Post-Soviet Union), GCC (Arab States), Mercosur (South America), SICA (Central America), AU (Africa), ASEAN (Southeast Asian nations), and NAFTA, or now known as USMCA (United States, Mexico, and Canada). There have been numerous military alliances formed as well, such as NATO (U.S., Canada, Europe), NORAD (U.S. and Canada), CSTO (Russia and several post-Soviet States), ANZAC (Australia and New Zealand), AU (Africa), etc.

Thirty years ago, on Nov. 1, 1993, the first supranational union was formed when the European Union was formed. A supranational union or government is defined as a multinational union or association in which member countries cede authority and sovereignty on at least some internal matters to the group, whose decisions are binding on its members. A supranational organization involves a greater transfer of or limitation of state sovereignty than other kinds of international organizations. The EU has deep political, economic, and social integration, which includes a common market, joint border control, a supreme court, and regular elections. They have their own parliament, a combined-arm military unit, and even their own currency.

Now, in 2023, I believe we are witnessing the second (of ten) supranational unions/governments beginning to form, the USMCA Union, between the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, and Central America. Our national sovereignty is being diminished by land, air, and sea assaults as we speak. Thanks to the 30330 man, Joe Biden, and his behind-the-scenes handlers (both human and demonic), we now have a country without borders. Of course, a country is not a country if it doesn’t have borders. Our borders with Mexico and Canada are wide open, and emigrants from all over the world are pouring in. The monetary, cultural, health & welfare, and safety (for citizens and emigrants alike) ramifications of this worldwide mass emigration are highly destructive to its citizens and cannot be sustained for long if a country wishes to retain its national sovereignty.

We just witnessed the Chinese spy balloon that traversed much of the continental United States before finally being shot down. This was a blatant violation of our national air space by a foreign country with the intent of espionage, and yet President Biden and the military allowed it to happen before they finally acted. I believe the only reason they acknowledged it and, after several days, shot it down was because it was spotted by civilians and reported to the media. They should have known about it and shot it down while it was still above the Pacific Ocean before it ever entered Alaska. What would have happened if this balloon had a payload of an EMP nuclear bomb that was to detonate above the skies of America? Is the U.S. government and military deliberately setting up this country to fail?

It certainly makes one wonder about their weak and incompetent actions.

“The Pentagon recently released a map showing the travel paths of Russian and Chinese naval vessels, alongside important undersea cables, as a part of its 2021 National Defense Authorization Act request, commonly referred to as the DoD’s budget. The map clearly shows the heavy traffic in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, with Russian subs encroaching on America’s eastern seaboard and Chinese submarines creeping up in the west.” DoD map shows Russian and Chinese subs are too close for comfort – Sandboxx.

The assault on our national sovereignty by land is self-inflected as we allow immigrants (and some terrorists) from around the world to illegally enter our country. Allowing our military to concentrate on wokeness rather than military readiness and demonstrating weakness (by land, air, and sea) rather than strength to our enemies is emboldening them to test us. Our country’s concentration on Russia as our greatest threat instead of China is a huge mistake, in my estimation. Our lack of manufacturing and dependence on China’s exports makes us very vulnerable in our capacity to wage war. A war between our countries would basically cripple both economies.

Of course, those in charge don’t want the U.S.A. to retain its national sovereignty. It’s very obvious by their deliberate ruinous policies. Nobody can be that incompetent. The “elites” (in their own mind) want to form a second supranational union and government based on the European Union, consisting of North and Central America. The one-world godless “build back better (Tower of Babel)” pawns of Satan want to create ten regions of power modeled after the Club of Rome’s ideal new world order. Each region will have its own government and currency but will probably take its directives from the EU where the Antichrist will eventually come from. South America, Africa, and Southeast Asian nations will follow the USMCA’s lead in merging sovereign nations into supranational governments until all ten regions are formed, just as the Bible describes.

I believe the Rapture will greatly speed up the process of the formation of the Beast (Ten horns/kings) Kingdom mentioned in Daniel 7:7-8, 23-25 and Revelation 17:12-14. The ten governments will eventually transform into a one-world government with an oligarchy of ten kings. A one-world currency will be implemented as well. There will also be one state-sanctioned religion. The Beast Kingdom will be a socialist/communist type of government, with the citizens of the world being delegated to serfs. Massive depopulation of the earth (by whatever means necessary) will be a major objective of the Ten Kings’ government. These are the ultimate goals of the WEF’s Great Reset Initiative and the U.N.’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (climate change, etc.).

It would not surprise me if the future ten kings prophesied in the books of Daniel and Revelation attended the WEF’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, during the month of January 2023. One of these ten regions to be formed will be the USMCA, and one of the ten kings shall rule in North America. If I were a betting man, I would put my money on Barack Obama, who once said (perhaps prophetically) at a White House Correspondents Association dinner in 2016, “The end of the Republic has never looked better.” What Barack Obama started, Joe Biden and the demonically-controlled Democrats (and some RINO Republicans) are determined to finish.

In the time of Moses and the Exodus, the law concerning witnesses was established. The law said, “By the mouth of two or three witnesses a matter shall be established” (Deuteronomy 19:15). The matter we are discussing is the end times for mankind according to the Holy word of God. Daniel, representing the Old Testament (book of Daniel), and John, representing the New Testament (book of Revelation), are the two witnesses required for this truth to be determined. Let’s examine how they intertwine and complement one another.

In Daniel 7, the vision of the four beasts is explained to Daniel by an angel. Most scholars believe it is a more thorough examination of Daniel 2 regarding the bi-metallic image or statue which represents four world (Mediterranean area) empires. The first kingdom represented Babylon, which had the regal splendor of a lion (king of beasts) and an eagle (king of birds). The second kingdom represented the Medo-Persian empire. It had great power, like a bear, but not the regal characteristics of Babylon. The greater power of Persia as compared to the Medes is indicated by the bear raising up on one side. The three ribs in its mouth are a reference to the three provinces of Babylonia, Persia, and Media that they controlled.

The third kingdom was Greece, represented by a leopard. It had all the characteristics of a leopard that strikes its prey with great speed and ferocity. The four wings and four heads of dominion are indicative of Alexander’s four generals who assumed control of Alexander’s kingdom after his death. The third and fourth kingdoms are identified by name in chapter 8 (20-21). Vs. 12 says that the first three kingdoms had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time. This is referring to the fact that each kingdom was absorbed into the kingdom that followed.

The fourth kingdom was not named but was historically fulfilled by the Roman Empire. It crushed and devoured the countries it conquered. In Daniel 7:7, Daniel was told that the ten horns represented ten kings who would eventually arise from this conglomerated Roman Empire. They are also mentioned in Revelation 17:12-14. One of the ten horns represents a future Roman Kingdom (the EU) that will reappear in the end time.

Another “little horn” shall come up after the ten horns and shall subdue or conquer three of the kings (and/or kingdoms), per Daniel 7:8,24. This little horn is the Antichrist, who is described as different from the ten kings, probably in reference to his acquiring his kingdom by force. The remaining seven kings will give their power and authority to the beast (little horn or A.C.) at this time, according to Revelation 17:13 – “These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.” This will occur at the mid-point (in the midst) of the seven-year Tribulation (Daniel’s 70th seven).

According to Daniel 9:27, the Tribulation will begin when the “prince who is to come” (the A.C.) confirms a covenant with many (including Israel) for “one week” or seven years. The Rapture of the Church will occur prior to this “confirmation” (strengthening) of the covenant. I believe it could take several years after the Rapture before the A.C. arises after the ten kings (Daniel 7:24) to accomplish this important and historical (and prophetic) event.

This seven-headed beast with ten horns and ten crowns is further described in Revelation 13. “Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority” (Revelation 13:2). This beast kingdom has all of the military characteristics of the three world empires (Greece, Medo-Persia, and Babylon) mentioned in Daniel 7. The final world ruler gathers into his kingdom all the power of the ancient rulers and their territory and eventually becomes ruler over the entire globe, something that has never been accomplished before.

“And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, ‘Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?’ And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:3-8).

Here is how Daniel describes the actions of the beastly Antichrist: “He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time” (Daniel 7:25).

The “saints” mentioned here are the chosen people of God, the Jewish people. Time, and times, and half a time is referring to three and a half years, the last three-and-a-half years of Daniel’s 70th seven (Daniel 9:24-27), otherwise known as Jacob’s trouble or the Great Tribulation. The Bible refers to the last three and a half years of the Tribulation in three different ways. I mentioned the first description, “time, times, and half a time” in Daniel 7:25. It is also found in Daniel 12:7 and Revelation 12:14. The second description is “forty-two months” and is found in Revelation 11:2 and Revelation 13:5. The third way of referring to 3.5 years is “one thousand two hundred and sixty days” and is found in Revelation 11:3 and Revelation 12:6.

Of all these descriptions, only Revelation 11:3 is (presumably) referring to the first half of the seven-year Tribulation. If it wasn’t for this verse in the New Testament and Daniel 9:27 (referring to one week/seven years) in the Old Testament, you would think the Tribulation’s duration was for only 3.5 years instead of 7 years. I believe these three-and-a-half years, or 1260 days, are not calculated from some sort of “prophetic calendar” (360 days per year) but are in reference to the Jewish calendar where there are 1260 days from Nisan 10 (the prophetic day Jesus rode into Jerusalem as the Jews king) to Tishri 1, the Feast of Trumpets, when Jesus will return to the earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Many students of Bible prophecy have asked the question, “Is the United States in Bible prophecy?” Although the U.S. is not mentioned by name and is not destined to play a major role in eschatological events, I believe our country can be found in some of the scripture we have discussed. However, it will not be in its current form as a sovereign nation called the United States of America but will be in its new form as a supranational union/region called the USMCA Union or something similar. The USMCA Union will be one of the Ten Kings, mentioned in Daniel 2 (one of the toes of iron and clay), Daniel 7, and Revelation 17, that will rule the world until they abdicate their power and authority to the Antichrist at the mid-point of the seven-year Tribulation.

The Antichrist’s absolute monarchy, in which he will rule the earth, will only last for 3.5 years, the same duration as Jesus’ ministry. “And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:5-8).

The Antichrist will be aided in his campaign of world domination by another beast “coming up out of the earth” (possibly of Jewish lineage). He is described as having two horns like a lamb and speaking like a dragon (Rev. 13:11). He is the main priest of a religious cult that is called Mystery Babylon (Revelation 17). His two horns could represent a form of Chrislam, a merging of apostate Christianity and Islam. After the 10 horns destroy this apostate church (and the city it resides in – Rome), the second beast, known as the false prophet, will cause the peoples of the earth to worship the Antichrist as a god. He will set up an image of the beast in the newly built third temple in Jerusalem and demand that everyone worship it.

“He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666” (Rev. 13:15-18).

Daniel the prophet speaks of this abomination of desolation in his prophecy of the 70 sevens. “Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate” (Daniel 9:27).

After this horrific event for Israel, the true nature of this “great man” comes out, and he is exposed for what he truly is, “the man of sin.” Jesus spoke of this tragedy during his Olivet discourse.

“Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake, those days will be shortened” (Matthew 24:15-22).

In the Bible, the number 12 represents governmental perfection, especially in relation to the 12 tribes of Israel. It’s interesting that both Daniel 12 and Revelation 12 speak of Israel during the end times known as Jacob’s Trouble or the Great Tribulation, the last 3.5 years of Daniel’s 70th seven. Let’s compare chapter 12 in these two books.

“At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever. But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase” (Daniel 12: 1-4).

“Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days” (Revelation 12:1-6).

“Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 12:13-17).

Of course, we know what this imagery represents. The woman is Israel, and her child (who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron) is Jesus Christ. The dragon represents Satan. The rest of the woman’s offspring are the Jews. The 1260 days begin after the mid-point of the Tribulation (Abomination of Desolation), when the Jews flee to Petra in Bozrah (Southern Jordan), and end when Jesus returns to the earth.

Unlike Daniel’s prophecy, where the angel tells Daniel to shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end, John is told by an angel, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.” Of course, we, as Christians, know how all of this will end, for the two witnesses tell us. Spoiler alert: It’s not how the global elites imagine. It’s their worst nightmare come true (besides their eternal abode in the lake of fire). They finally realize that the Christians were right after all and Jesus is truly the Son of God and judge of the entire earth.

Daniel 2 tells us: “A stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth” (Daniel 2:34-35). Jesus is the stone cut without hands. The image of the beast is the Gentile nations that coalesce into a one-world government. This government and kingdom will be completely destroyed, and Jesus and His saints’ kingdom will then rule the world.

“But the court shall be seated, And they shall take away his dominion, To consume And destroy it forever. Then the kingdom and dominion, And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And all dominions shall serve and obey Him” (Daniel 7:26-27).

The Antichrist will only have a very short reign, whereas Jesus and His saints will have an everlasting kingdom.

“Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. Then the beast was captured and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh” (Revelation 19:11, 19-21).

After Jesus destroys His earthly and demonic enemies, He will then set up His kingdom, which will last for a thousand years. The true Great Reset and New World Order (with a one-world theocratic government) will begin at this time. Satan is bound with a great chain and cast into the bottomless pit for a thousand years, and he will then be released for a short time. He will deceive many peoples throughout the Gentile nations to gather them to battle against the Jews and Jerusalem. God will instantly send fire down from heaven and destroy them all. Satan will be thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. “And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever” (Revelation 20:10).

Then God will judge the unbelieving dead from all ages. This is known as the Great White Throne Judgment. They will all be found guilty of their sins and cast into the lake of fire. “Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:14-15).

“Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. For He has put all things under His feet. But when He says ‘all things are put under Him,’ it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all” (1 Corinthians 15:24-28).

After Satan and death are conquered by Jesus the Son, the millennium kingdom will have come to an end. All things will now have been placed in total subjection to the Messiah. As the scripture says, “You have put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him (Hebrews 2:8). The totality of subjection will now be subjugated to God the Father in order that God may be all in all.

“Here we see the final triumph of Christ over all evil, over all power, and the Son giving up to the Father the kingdom of this world, which in His humanity He conquered for the Father as well as for Himself. Christ laying the spoils of a conquered world at the foot of the throne of the Father shows, by that supreme act of self-sacrifice, that in His office as Redeemer, He came, not to do His own will, but the will of the Father. In this sense, the Son Himself, as Redeemer, is “put under Him”–God is all in all.

The direct government by God of all creatures is to be at last attained. All the interventions of authority and power which the fall of man rendered necessary will be needless when the complete triumph of Christ comes in. Thus Humanity, having for ages shared the condition of fallen Adam, will be finally restored to the state of unfallen Adam. Man will see God, and be ruled by God face to face.” {1}

The eternal Kingdom of God now begins with a new heaven and earth, for the first heaven and earth have passed away. John, in his vision, caught a glimpse of the new heaven and earth. There was no more sea (oceans) on the new earth. He also saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away” (Revelation 21:3-4).

“Then He who sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said to me, Write, for these words are true and faithful. And He said to me, it is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son” (Revelation 21:5-6).

These are the words of Yahweh Jesus Christ, the Alpha and the Omega of God’s Word, God Himself! As Jesus is the son of God, so shall we be Jesus’ sons. “We are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together” (Hebrews 8:16-17).

“And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever” (Revelation 22:1-5).

“He who testifies to these things says, Surely I am coming quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Revelation 22:20-21).
