The Return of the Lord Jesus, Specific events will warn of the approach of Christ's return. The ten-kingdom confederation The setting up of Christ's kingdom on earth will take place in the latter days when the embodiment of Babylonianism will be found in a ten kingdom empire ruled over by Antichrist. Yesterday, we looked at Daniel 2, where we have the Gentile empires which directly interact with Israel from Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome which in its final manifestation appears as a 10-nation confederation, represented by the tens toes. Revelation 17 carries us forward until the latter day manifestation of these 10 kingdoms, which appear as 10 horns, which give their allegiance to the Beast, the Antichrist.
