10 Kings Rising in Europe
I have been sounding the alarm that the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the reelection of President Trump will be the catalysts for the rise of the 10 kings out from the old Roman Empire. These are the 10 toes of Nebuchadnezzar’s image in Daniel 2, and the 10 horns on the 4th beast (Roman Empire) of Daniel 7 & Rev. 13, who are the 10 kings who align with the Antichrist (little horn) in Revelation 17.
Just five days ago, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz delivered a speech in which he claimed that the “Pax Americana is over,” that the United States cannot be relied upon to defend Europe. Europe must rise to the occasion and become the dominant force against Russia’s aggression without the USA.
Below is his speech, with AI translating into English by cloning Merz’s voice.
Here is another interesting post from X: “German foreign policy and security expert and member of the German parliament Roderich Kiesewetter issued another stark warning, this time regarding the latest US National Security Strategy (NSS) document. Read more …https://t.co/r7fp3S7zSn” / X
Here is the official White House document titled 2025-National-Security-Strategy.pdf which Merz and Kiesewetter were reacting to.
Here is an article with Marco Rubio’s reasoning which is consistent with the White House paper. Rubio Warns Europe Risks Destroying ‘Shared Culture’ of the West

Tim,
Do you think digital IT’S are going to be the mark of the beast?
Do you mean digital IDs? If so, I suppose that electronic identification will play a part. But I do not think a digital ID is itself the mark of the beast.
Unfortunately I don’t recall when exactly or what video, but a couple of years ago I was watching a video on YouTube and I think it was Angela Merkel speaking, the former Chancellor of Germany, or maybe Christine Lagarde (who knows now) and the discussion was around consolidating the European Union to 5 leaders. This was to make the voting process easier as some member states block ideas, laws, or whatever being put forward and this was causing problems.
At that time I thought, now that sounds very interesting, with the 10 kings/rulers prophecy in mind.
I have thought for a good few years now that things would have been further advanced than they now appear to be in this area of prophecy, especially considering the very likely appearance of the 2 prophets in 2029. Perhaps things will really accelerate at some point in the near future?
Also, Tim, I still have trouble accepting Trump’s peace deal is worthy of a seal. I consider the seals as a significant series of events and saving 19 peoples lives just doesn’t seem to qualify? And is there really peace in Israel? There is still fighting going on.
Obviously, it is significant for those poor souls involved and their families and what the endured. Thank God they were rescued.
At present, I think the all the seals will be either within the time of the 7 years of the tribulation or at the very least, may start much closer to it. I have always thought of them as undeniable events, with little room for doubt. Time will tell.
In your opinion Tim, is there something in the Bible that points to the possibility that Biblical prophecy is not obvious to believers? Obviously the wicked are blind and asleep.
Peter,
Whether Trump is related to the Seals is still a matter of “wait and see.” However, Trump’s role in reshaping the USA and the world order, setting the stage for the fulfillment of the 70th week, is without question, IMO. Europe is being forced to radically change due to Trump’s “America First” agenda, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. I have no doubt that this is what will lead to the rise of the 10 kings. The iron (authoritarianism) mixed with clay (democracy) is going to quickly take shape, but then also quickly crumble. Europe, as a bunch of independent democracies, where the people choose their leaders, will not be able to effectively withstand Russia’s dictatorial and centralized military leadership style. The present Europe is too fluid and disjointed to be an effective deterrent to Putin.
Exactly how quickly this will occur, and whether it occurs before the 70th week or during the first half of the 70th week, also remains to be seen. I don’t think we can determine this from biblical prophecy.
I have always believed the Europeans would have to break with the U.S. to form the military power for the Antichrist. The European Union has never been a federal government like the United States with one person as commander in chief. When the ten nations give their power to the Antichrist this will form a federal government with the Antichrist as commander in chief with the power to use their militaries to wage war. The 10 nations will develop their military power because the United States will no long want to spend the money to protect Europe. The French have already said that Europe needs to be able to protect itself.
Also, as God used the sword of the Babylonians to punish Israel, could God use the sword of the US to destroy Israel’s enemies?

Harold,
I agree with what you wrote except the last sentence. IMO, the US distancing itself from Europe (a major player in the end-time scenario) implies what I have proposed for the last several years, that the US will not be part of the Antichrist’s dominion. God Himself is going to judge Israel’s enemies supernaturally during the ministry of the two witnesses in Jerusalem. They will call fire down from heaven and strike Israel’s enemies with various plagues. This “shield” for Israel will allow them to rebuild the Temple and institute the Mosaic sacrificial system again (Rev. 11).
