True, there have been other world powers in history besides the seven-just as the wild beast John saw was made up of a bod as well as of seven heads and ten horns. But the seven heads represent the seven major powers that have, each in its turn, taken the lead in oppressing God's people. In 33 C.E., while Rome was ascendant, Satan used that head of the wild beast to kill the Son of God. At that time, God abandoned the faithless Jewish system of things and later in 70 C.E., allow Rome to execute his judgment on that nation. Happily, the true Israel of God, the congregation of anointed Christians, had been forewarned, and those in Jerusalem and Judea had fled to safety beyon the Jordan River. - MATTHEW 24:15, 16; GALATIANS 6:16.
