The events we see occurring today will bring us to the position that is necessary to bring end time events to their conclusion as it is “written” in the Scriptures.
I believe that we are at the Fourth Seal (Re.6:7-8) wherein one-fourth part of the earth will be destroyed. We are a witness to that.
I believe that it is possible that we are at that point wherein those who will make up the 144000 are in Israel being tried, purged and purified as they endure witnessing first hand the conflict against Israel (Dan.11:35, Dan.12:10).
It is extremely difficult to envision the end time governmental leadership without a far deeper study that still might not give us a clear picture at this point. But the upshot of it is, is that during the last three and a half years prior to the Seventh Trumpet (1 Thess.4:16-17) ascension, the world will have as its leadership a beast/king who will have satanic power (Re.13:2) over the entire world (Re.13:3) and with him the false prophet with the same power (Re.13:12). Eventually, after three horns/kings are uprooted by the little horn, there will be seven kings (Dan.7:8, Dan.7:24) under the control of the beast/king of Revelation 13:1 (also seen as the fourth beast/king of Daniel chapter 7).
My question is: Is it possible that these seven horns/kings will be kings over each continent? Perhaps hard to believe, but by that time the continents will be drifting due to the major earthquake at the opening of the Sixth Seal (Re.6:12, 14), eventually to collide at the fall of Babylon (Re.16:20). Also, by that time four of the seven Trumpet events will have also taken place (Re.8:7-12). I believe that all these major earth changes will bring about events we cannot clearly envision now.
