End Times Predicted

I read this and found it very interesting. For full and fair disclosure, this entire blog is being copied verbatim from the book, God’s Plan For Man, by Finis Dake. Keep in mind this book was copyrighted back in 1949.

Did you know that there must be at lease three more European wars before the Battle of Armageddon and the Second Coming of Christ? In Daniel 7:23-24 we have a prophecy that ten kingdoms must be formed inside the old Roman Empire territory in the last days. These ten kings referred to are the same one symbolized by the ten horns on the beast of Revelation 13 and 17:12-17 it is stated that they will give their kingdoms of the future Antichrist, and then will fight against Jesus Christ at His Second Coming. This proves that they all must be in existence when Christ comes. There are twenty-two states inside the territory now. Therefore, if these countries must be formed into ten kingdoms and be in existence when Christ comes, changes must be made sometime in the near future that will affect these states. It will take one world war to form these ten kingdoms before the Antichrist comes. This is the first was to which we refer. Then in Daniel 7:23-24 it states, “after them,” that is, after the ten kingdoms are formed, than the Antichrist will arise and subdue three of them. This is the second war. In Daniel 11:40-44; Revelation 17:12-17 it is revealed that the Antichrist will finally get power over the whole ten kingdoms. The third war will be fought between the ten kingdoms under Antichrist and the nations that are north and east of the ten kingdoms. In other words, Russia, Germany, and other countries north and east of the ten kingdoms inside the old Roman Empire territory will fight these ten kingdoms during the last 3½ years of this age. Antichrist will be the victor, and then he will lead the nations against Jerusalem and the Jews, but Christ will come and defend the Jews, destroy the Antichrist and set up his kingdom in the world forever (Zachariah 14:1-21; Ezekiel 38-99; Joel 3; Isaiah 63; Revelation 17:14; 19:11-21; 20:1-10).
