REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/ Chapter Thirty Five - Ten Kings for One Hour - Continue

 The ten horns depict all the political powers that presently hold sway on the world scene and that support the image of the wild beast . Very few of the countries that now exist were  known in John's day. And those that were, such as Egypt and Persia(Iran), today have an entirely different political setup.  Hence in the first century, the 'ten horns has not yet receive a kingdom,' or political authority.  With the collapse of the great colonial empires, particularly since the second world war, many new nations have been born. These, as well as the longer-established powers, must rule with the wild beast for a short period-just "one hour"-before Jehovah brings an end to al worldly political authority at Armageddon.
