‘Ten Kings’ of Daniel, Revelation?

THOUGH FINAL ALIGNMENT, BIBLE CORRELATIONS ARE UNCERTAIN,WORLD’S TEN GEOPOLITICAL REGIONS CLEARLY ARE TODAY’S REALITY 

By Tim Porter, Circumspect News, March 15, 2012

In the 1960s, a predominant view among Bible expositors was that when the EuropeanCommon Market reached a total of ten Western European nations, the time would be right fothe fulfillment of the Bible’s prophecies concerning the “ten kings.” 

Now, roughly 50 years later, the European Union has grown to 27 member nations, and those Bible teachers’ inadvertent lesson is clear: When itcomes to interpreting current events with Bible prophecy, one must take care not to be too dogmatic.

That ’60s interpretation taught another lesson as well — that of misdirection and distraction, for while many have been focusing on developments inEurope, a larger, global scenario has now emerged. It is a scenario that appears more consistent with the biblical narrative of a transformed beastthat “shall devour the whole earth” than does one that is just limited to reviving its former Roman Empire perimeter. It is a scenario that sees Europenot as being comprised of “ten kingdoms,” but sees Europe itself as being one of the ten, albeit the most prominent among them.

Indeed, the current global/regional network is undoubtedly Eurocentric, and is being developed through European old-money sources. The EuropeanUnion is the extolled prototype and the consensus model by which all other geopolitical regions in the world are being developed and measured. TheInternational Monetary Fund and World Bank, institutions that have underwritten regional development throughout the world, are both of European

“stock,” with the IMF directed by the Europeans and the World Bank by Europe’s offspring in America.

The global promoter of “regionalization,” the United Nations, is funded disproportionately by its cash cow, the United States, and billions of U.Sforeign aid dollars  have also been granted to regions  for this agenda. Historically, global colonization and hegemony — even the naming andmapping of many of the world’s modern nations and borders — have originated from two sources — Europe and the United States.

Of course, China has become another major contributor to the cause of regionalization, but China’s rise was enabled by Western investment.Despite its perceived rivalry with the U.S., China has also become the West’s banker, and finds itself in a manufactured interdependence withWestern consumers, as well as with Western corporations investing, operating and manufacturing in China. But it is the European Union itself thahas become China’s “too big to fail” project, even as China slowly backs away from the U.S. dollar (in large part because the dollar is a nationacurrency, while the euro is regional). A Chinese official has even said that saving the euro is akin to saving globalization, but no such statement hascome forth concerning the dollar.

Therefore, it is safe to say that Europe is ground zero for theworld’s current regionalization movement. Surely,  Europa  isriding this beast.

Whether or not the present regional structure reflects the exact,final alignment for the Bible’s “ten kings” does not diminish thereality of what we see developing today. The following is a list ofthe world’s ten major geopolitical regions, with their names andacronyms, as they currently exist. Keep in mind that themember-nation makeup of each region is a bit fluid, reflective ofpopulations’ and/or their rulers’ personality conflicts, historicalprejudices, etc., as they relate to ongoing integration efforts.

The ten major regions are: 

•  African Union – AU: The AU has five sub-regions in varying stages of integration, after which they plan a continental union.

•  Arab League – AL: Also known as the League of Arab States, it is beginning to assert itself against one of its founding members, Syria.

•  Association of Southeast Asian Nations – ASEAN: The ten-nation region is scheduled to build an integrated economic community by 2015modeled on the European Union.

•  Eurasian Economic Community – EurAsEC:  Soon to be the Eurasian Economic Union, or Eurasian Union, consisting of former Sovietnations.

•  European Union – EU: The financial crisis created by banksters and their derelict politicians has actually increased the EU technocrats

central authority.•  Gulf Cooperation Council – GCC:  Soon to become the Arab Gulf Union Council, comprised of six nations on the western side of the

Persian Gulf on the Arabian Peninsula opposite Iran, led by Saudi Arabia.

•  North American Free Trade Association – NAFTA: The recent “Beyond the Border” agreement between the U.S. and Canada establishes a“security perimeter” around the two countries while authorizing the sharing of intelligence with “harmonized” border-crossing procedures focustoms, commerce, law enforcement, and even military.

•  Pacific Islands Forum – PIF: It is uncertain whether this underdeveloped region, which encompasses Australia and its Pacific Islandsneighbors, will remain a viable region or be dissolved into one or more of the other regions. The 1973 Club of Rome proposal for a ten-region structure had this region containing Australia’s fellow Commonwealth member South Africa as well, but since the fall of apartheidSouth Africa has become more engaged with the African Union.

•  South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation – SAARC: Despite historical enmities and mistrust among member nations, SAARC isdetermined to become the South Asian Union.

•  Union of South American Nations – UNASUR: The region is using a “circle the wagons” approach, seizing upon member nations’ historic

resentment against U.S. and European hegemony and colonialism, as exhibited recently in UNASUR’s united stand in a revival of theFalkland Islands dispute with Britain.

China certainly is powerful enough to encompass its own region, and it remains to be seen whether its wary ASEAN neighbors will actually enter intoan “ASEAN+3″ regional agreement with China, Japan, and Korea. Historical prejudices may drive those three in separate directions, but, asGermany and France since World War II, and as we are beginning to see with SAARC nations India and Pakistan, historical prejudices may wane asnew generations react to crises resulting from forced regional economic competition, “global terrorism” and other regional security concerns.

Round Table Groups and the British CommonwealthAlthough rulers throughout the ages have dreamed of a global empire, the quest for a global federation did not begin in earnest until VictorianBritain’s Round Table Groups proposed a Commonwealth of Nations. Today the Commonwealth is known merely as a forum of nations formerlyadministered by the British Empire, but originally it was meant to be something far greater, as it started the drive toward today’s regional framework.

Carroll Quigley, Rhodes Scholar/President Bill Clinton’s globalist mentor as a noted history professor at Washington’s Georgetown University when

Clinton was a student there, detailed the development and objectives of the Round Table Groups as part of his voluminous, macro-historical textpublished in 1966, Tragedy and Hope , as follows:

Cecil Rhodes….(1853-1902) fervishly exploited the diamond and goldfields of  South Africa….With financial support from LordRothschild and Alfred Beit, he was able to monopolize the diamond mines of South Africa as De Beers ConsolidatedMines….In the middle 1890s Rhodes had a personal income… which was spent so freely for his mysterious purposes…These purposes centered on his desire to federate the English-speaking peoples and to bring all the habitable portions of theworld under their control.For this purpose Rhodes left part of his great fortune to found the Rhodes Scholarships at Oxford in order to spread theEnglish ruling class tradition throughout the English-speaking world….Rhodes and  [William T.] Stead organized a secresociety of which…. Arthur (Lord) Balfour, Lord Rothschild… and others were listed as potential members of a “Circle of 

Cecil Rhodes Initiates”; while there was to be an outer circle known as the “Association of Helpers” (later organized by  [John] Milner as theRound Table organization)….In 1909-1913 they organized semisecret groups, known as Round Table Groups….In 1919 they founded  [Page 2

the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House)….Similar Institutes of International Affairs were established in the chief Britishdominions and in the United States (where it is known as the Council on Foreign Relations)…. -  Tragedy and Hope, pp 130-132

Carroll Quigley’s research as a historian at Georgetown and Harvard, and his enthusiasm for the globalist cause, gained the confidence of sourceswithin this movement in the United States. These sources allowed Quigley access to the historical records that were cited in Tragedy and HopeQuigley’s book was not meant to be an exposé of the nefarious activities of the   Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)  or its part in a semisecre“Anglophile network,” but as a record for posterity of what he believed to be their grand effort, as he explained:

I know of the operation of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960’s, to examine its

papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of itsinstruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies… but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes toremain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known. -  Tragedy and Hope, p 950

Quigley alluded to an “American Union” as being one of the goals of the early 20th Century Round Table Groups in their pursuit of a globafederation:

From 1884 to about 1915, the members of this group worked valiantly to extend the British Empire and to organize it in a federal system….They alsohoped to bring the United States into this organization to whatever degree was possible. Stead was able to get Rhodes to accept, in principle, asolution which might have made Washington the capital of the whole organization or allow parts of the empire to become states of the AmericanUnion…. - Tragedy and Hope, p 133

It is not surprising therefore that today’s call for a “North American Community,” being advanced

by executive fiat with the U.S.-Canada “Beyond the Border” agreement and its “North Americansecurity perimeter,” is being promoted chiefly by the Council on Foreign Relations and itsrepresentatives.

Neither is it surprising that “Rhodes Scholar” Bill Clinton would be groomed by that globalisinstitution to promote the “pushing” of the world’s independent nations into an economic/politicanetwork of “interdependence” and “integration” through “systematic [i.e., methodical, regulatorychange.” As fellow globalist and CFR spokesman Richard Gardner wrote in the CFR journaForeign Affairs  in April 1974, entitled “The Hard Road to World Order,” the globalist networkwould have to make “an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece…”

‘Build the Kingdom’Clinton’s audacious ego is certainly consistent with the Rhodes/Round Table tradition. The extent to which the Round Table moguls were full ofthemselves was revealed in their audacity to believe that their English ruling class had assumed divine authority to rule a global federation. Theirdisdain for other races’ capacity to govern themselves was evidenced by Round Tabler Lionel Curtis, as quoted in Tragedy and Hope :

“Personally I regard this challenge to the long unquestioned claim of the white man to dominate the world as inevitable and wholesome, especially toourselves….The world is in the throes which precede creation or death. Our whole race has outgrown the merely national state and, as surely as theday follows night or night the day, will pass either to a Commonwealth of Nations or else to an empire of slaves. And the issue of these agonies restswith us.”  Tragedy and Hope, p 147

As they convened in their parlors, the Round Table Groups reached delusional consensus that dealt to themselves a divine mandate, providing themeans to govern all nations, and thereby, ‘the Kingdom of God could be established on earth”: [Page 3]

The creation of the Round Table Groups…was so secretive that, even today, many close students of the subject are not aware of its significanceThese men had formed their intellectual growth at Oxford…on Edmund Burke’s On Conciliation with America, and on The New Testament’s “Sermonon the Mount.” The last was especially influential on Lionel Curtis. He had a fanatical conviction that with the proper spirit and the proper organization(local self-government and federalism), the Kingdom of God could be established on earth….When Lord Lothian died in Washington in 1940, Curtispublished a volume of his speeches and included the obituary which Grigg had written for The Round Table. Of Lothian this said, “He held that menshould strive to build the kingdom of Heaven here upon this earth, and that the leadership in that task must fall first and foremost upon the English-speaking peoples…. Tragedy and Hope, pp 146-147

“Intellectual growth” notwithstanding, the Machiavellian means by which this aristocratic network would attempt to achieve its goal could not be said

to be consistent with the “Sermon on the Mount”:

There does exist, and has existed for a generation [before the '60s], an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the waythe Radical right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion tocooperating with the Communists, or any other group, and frequently does so. Tragedy and Hope, p 950

David Rockefeller, CFR Honorary Chairman and once-longtime chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank,  has confirmed this Round Table sentimenmany times. Rockefeller gushed praise upon the  “efficient” administration of Mao’s communist China  (that slaughtered an estimated 40 millionChinese) and other authoritarian regimes as being a strong point for investment. The authoritarian, elitist nature of the Round Table network isfurther evidenced by the fact that Cecil Rhodes’ role model throughout his life was a man named John Ruskin, as Quigley noted:

Until 1870 there was no professorship of fine arts at Oxford, but in that year, thanks to the Slade bequest, John Ruskin wasnamed to such a chair. He hit Oxford like an earthquake…. Ruskin spoke to the Oxford undergraduates as members of the

privileged, ruling class. He told them that they were the possessors of a magnificent tradition of education, beauty, rule olaw, freedom, decency, and self-discipline but that this tradition could not be saved, and did not deserve to be saved, unlessit could be extended to the lower classes in England itself and to then on-English masses throughout the world. If thisprecious tradition were not extended to these two great majorities, the minority of upper-class Englishmen would ultimatelybe submerged by these majorities and the tradition lost. To prevent this, the tradition must be extended to the masses and tothe empire. Ruskin’s message had a sensational impact. His inaugural lecture was copied out in long hand by oneundergraduate, Cecil Rhodes, who kept it with him for thirty years. - Tragedy and Hope, p 130

John Ruskin

Ruskin and EugenicsRuskin was a prominent socialist of his time who since has been widely interpreted by the academic aristocracy as a man with compassion for thepoor, downtrodden masses, and for wanting to improve their lives by remaking society. However, the core of his belief was elitist to the point ofadvocating authoritarian subjection of those he perceived to be inferior – for their own good of course – as he himself summed up in his compilationof papers published in 1860, Unto This Last :

…if there be any one point insisted on throughout my works more frequently than another, that one point is the impossibility of Equality. My continuaaim has been to show the eternal superiority of some men to others, sometimes even of one man to all others; and to show also the advisability oappointing such persons or person to guide, to lead, or on occasion even to compel and subdue, their inferiors according to their own betteknowledge and wiser will. My principles of Political Economy were all involved in a single phrase spoken three years ago at Manchester: “Soldiers othe Ploughshare as well as Soldiers of the Sword”: and they were all summed in a single sentence in the last volume of Modern Painters–“Government and co-operation are in all things the Laws of Life; Anarchy and competition the Laws of Death. - Unto This Last, John Ruskin

It is no wonder that Ruskin’s authoritarian, anti-competition teachings were embraced by the monopolist Rhodes and his group, as well as by theeugenics movement in England, the rise of which paralleled and intertwined with the Round Table movement within the British aristocracy.

VIDEO: Endgame Part 3: The History of Eugenics Eugenics, a proactive social Darwinism, enforced and accelerated

Darwin’s “survival of the fittest” (Darwin also was a Victorian elitist)and took Ruskin’s authoritarian improvement of humanity into thedangerous realm of the biological. Today it has been developedinto transhumanism – the effort to fuse man and technology.

The most disconcerting aspect to all of this was the elitistsaudacity to assume godhood and impose their “English ruling classtradition” throughout the world. Indeed, the religious element of this“perfectibility of man” was also in vogue in Victorian England duringthe late 1800s, particularly with the presence of Occult practices inhigh society, paying homage to the serpent’s perceived“enlightenment” that “ye shall be as gods…” Not surprisinglyRuskin himself was a key figure in this development.

Ruskin was a member of the Society of Psychical Research, as were Alfred LordTennyson, Arthur Balfour (Prime Minister 1902-1905), and William Gladstone (PrimeMinister 1865-74). The SPR attracted many within British intellectual circles who had aninterest in investigating the scientific credibility of paranormal activities.

As an educator, Ruskin was noted for his emphasis in romanticism and gothic artistry. Itwas in this monistic, pantheistic nexus with naturalism – and the SPR’s attempt torationalize the spirit world – that Ruskin dwelled.

Since art symbolism was of great importance to Ruskin, there is perhaps no bettesummation of his life than the symbolism on his gravestone. Among the various esotericsymbols, the most striking is the swastika separating his birth and death years.

Ruskin’s gravestone. Note the swastika between the years.VIDEO: Hitler, holding flag, ‘channels’ swas tika power.

( ‘Hitler and the Occult’ – History Channel)  Before Hitler made the swastika an obvious symbol of evil, ithad been used for ages as a sun symbol in the occult andeastern religions. It also symbolized good fortune, but, likethe yin-yang, the occult believed its force could also beutilized by the “dark side.” Indeed it was, during that samelate-1800s time period, by such groups as Helena PetrovnaBlavatsky’s Theosophical Society.

The Theosophical Society was openly Luciferian, and used the swastika in many of itspublications. Like all occult philosophies – both “white” and “dark,” – theosophists promotedthe idea of the ascendency of man toward godhood through various rituals. Fortheosophists, these included gnostic sacrifice and eugenics to achieve their ideal

superman.

Hitler, the consummate eugenicist, and his inner circle weredeeply into the occult. Hitler himself had been a member ofthe Thule Society, and took its swastika symbol for his own.It is reported that he kept a copy of Blavatsky’s writings at hisbedside. He would give credit to American eugenicists,particularly The Passing of the Great Race  author Madison

Grant, for being instrumental in his quest to develop the“pure Aryan.”

In the 1930s, an influential segment of high society in bothBritain and America actually admired and supported Hitler’sNational-Socialist transformation of Germany. Theirperception of Hitler before the war paralleled the favoramong occultists for the pre-Hitler swastika, as a beneficial

Thule Society Symbol, 1919  symbol for those who would utilize its power.

One of those admirers of Hitler in America was Thomas J. Watson, founder of International Business Machines (IBM). Watson was an advocate ofeugenics and population control, not unlike modern “philanthropists” Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, who have supported China’s brutal “one child”policy and other population control measures throughout the world.

Watson met with Hitler in 1937, and actually provided Hitler with the primitive computers that allowed the Nazis to number and account for eachperson in the Jewish population. The numbers on the arms of Jewish holocaust victims were IBM computer numbers. This notorious chapter in IBM’shistory is not well known, but IBM is not ashamed of its founder. The famous computer that recently competed on the game show “Jeopardy!” was anIBM model named “Watson.” Today, IBM is still one of the leading voices and providers of technology for a global identity management solution.

Others in the American and British establishment elite were not left out of the eugenics/Hitler love fest. Joining Watson in his meeting with Hitler werethe president and board members of the International Chamber of Commerce, an organization that today is a leading advocate of the “multilateratrade” framework that has been the basis for regionalization. W. Averell Harriman’s Union Banking Corporation, and partner/director George HerberWalker’s son-in-law,  Prescott Bush (father/grandfather of two presidents), were  cited in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, and thecorporation’s assets and shares were seized for acting as phantom holders of German industrialist and Hitler financier Fritz Thyssen’s Americanassets. The Rockefellers, Carnegies, and Harrimans, financiers of early-20th Century eugenics programs in America, Britain and Germany, were alsoprominent in the Round Table/CFR movement and were supporters of initiating the Federal Reserve central banking system in the U.S. [Page 5

In Britain, King Edward’s 1936 abdication and virtual lifetime exile was not due merely to his marriage to Wallis Simpson, but to his widely knownfondness for Hitler’s fascism. Edward’s sentiment was not necessarily an anomaly in British royalty, however. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh andhusband of Queen Elizabeth (Head of the Commonwealth of Nations), has some Nazi-eugenics skeletons in his closet as well.  All four of his sistersmarried German officers, including one that married an SS colonel who named his eldest son Karl Adolf, after Hitler.

This intermingling of British and German aristocracy should not be surprising when it is considered that the modern British royal dynasty began in1840, when Queen Victoria married her first cousin, Prince Albert, Duke of Saxe-Coburg in Germany. Her grandson, King George V, had beendesignated an honorary German field marshal before World War I, but shed the title entering the war and began using the Windsor name.

Granted, having family ties to German aristocracy does not make one a Hitler supporter, but Prince Philip’s views on population control and theculling of excess humans are no less chilling and demented than a Nazi rally.   In his foreword  to the book, If I Were an Animal by Fleur CowlesPrince Philip wrote:

I just wonder what it would be like to be reincarnated in an animal whose species had been so reduced in numbers than it was in danger of extinction. What would be its feelings toward the human species whose population explosion had denied it somewhere to exist….I must confess thaI am tempted to ask for reincarnation as a particularly deadly virus.

In light of his family’s sordid elitist history, it is no wonder that Prince Philip’s grandson, youngPrince Harry, had no qualms about dressing as a Nazi f or a costume party in January, 2005.

Why Ten?Such is the mindset and character of the present movement to integrate the entire planet into amonopolist, fascist, population-controlled, occult “New World Order” of regions. Lying beneath

the surface of human existence for ages, this agenda has proliferated within the past century intoa blatant arrogance against any who would question the movement’s god-like authority to pursueits version of “the perfectibility of man.”

 And it raises an important question: Why ten? Why, after all these centuries since the “ten kings”prophecies were put down in Scripture, would not random chance today allow any other number of major geopolitical regions to span the globe?

More to the point: Despite their open disdain for what they consider the “myths” of the Bible, whyis there such a blatant drive by its leaders to associate this movement with the great rebellionagainst the God of the Bible, as the adjacent illustrations indicate? (The first, from the Council of Europe, resembles Bruegel’s Tower of Babel  painting to depict the continent’s drive towardintegration as a modern rebuilding of that tower under an EU circle of pentagrams, while the

second is a picture of the completed European Parliament Building displaying the same theme.)

Wouldn’t normal people go out of their way to distance themselves from anything perceived asso authoritarian and nefarious? The answer is obvious: These are not normal people. What’sworse, they don’t consider themselves normal – they are the “elite.” Domination has been their business; they believe it is their divine right – and destiny.

This, naturally, brings up yet another question: Why is it that such mantras as “ye shall be asgods” and “the perfectibility of man,” ideas that have been so clearly associated with the mysteryreligions, secret societies and the “enlightenment” ever since the biblical narrative of Adam andEve, are now equally associated with this current movement?

That consideration brings us back to the original question, presented in the title of this article: Is

the world’s emerging New World Order of regions being built to accommodate the appearance of the “ten kings” of Daniel and Revelation in the Bible?

In the Revelation of Jesus Christ to the Apostle John, Jesus said, “Blessed is he that readeth,and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein:for the time is at hand.” John and the prophet Daniel wrote much of their Scripture text about theactions of governments, and much of the entire Bible concerns narratives and lessons aboutgovernments’ interaction with humanity under the authority of God.

Why then do so many American Christians believe it is somehow not their spiritual responsibility to become aware of – and to reprove – the present“end run around national sovereignty,” that openly displays all the characteristics of the great rebellion against their God, and the Lord Jesus Christ?
