REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Thirty Five - Executing Babylong the Great - Conclusion

 By the 19th century, some  of the colonies in North America had already broken away from Britain  to form the independent United States of America. Politically,  some conflict between teh new nation and the former motherland continued. Nevertheless, the first world war forced both countries to recognize their common interests and cemented a special relationship  between them.  Thus, a kind dual world power cam to exist, made of the United States of America, now the world's wealthiest  nation, and Great Britain , seat of the world's largeset empire.  Here, then, is the seventh 'head' or world power, that continues  into the time of the end and in the territories of which the modern-day witnesses of Jehovah first got established. Compared with the long reign  of the sixth head, the seventh remains only  "a short while," until God's Kingdom destroys all national entities.
