The World History Told by the Prophets
Part 2
Source “How Will the World End?”
The little horn that came up among the ten is the Papacy. You will see as we go along in this study that the Pope’s gave the kings there power. This is why Daniel made this statement, “there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots”. Justinian is the fourth horn on the beast. He took out these three tribes. (Grolier Encyclopedia)
Justinian’s aim was the restoration of the earlier Roman Empire by reconquest of areas lost to the Germanic tribes. With the help of his general Belisarius, he regained North Africa from the Vandals (533-34) and, after a lengthy war (535-54), Italy from the Ostrogoths (see Goths). Justinian also acquired southeastern Spain. Repeated wars with the Sassanian Persians, however, usually ended with the Byzantines buying peace; and the Slavs occupied much of the Balkan Peninsula.
Quoted from “The Pictorial History of Italian People” (below)
Odoacer governed Italy nominally as representative of the Roman emperor in the East. In reality he acted as an independent ruler, and inefficiently. In 488, the Ostrogoths, authorized since around 450 by the government in Constantinople to settle on the right bank of the middle Danube, were led into Italy by their leader, King Theodoric II. Besieged in Ravenna, Odoacer surrendered and was assassinated in 493. The Herulians were never heard of again.
In 535 the Roman emperor in the East, the able Justinian, bent on reestablishing the unity of the Empire, sent an expeditionary force to Italy. In his eyes, as in the eyes of all native Italians, Italy was still very much an integral part of the Roman State. Surprised initially by the attack, the Goths soon rallied behind their leaders. While most Italians looked on, a ferocious war was fought for nearly two decades between the armies of the Gothic kings and those of the legitimate ruler, the emperor. Finally defeated, the Ostrogoths disappeared from the pages of history.
Once again you see world history lines up with the scripture. All three of these Germanic tribes were defeated. As its states in the Book of Daniel these three were plucked up by the roots. After the Last Roman Cesar was defeat by these Germanic Tribes there were seven kings left. These kings all had a common purpose, and that was to restore the Ancient Roman Empire. We will name six of the kings the seven is yet to come. Now let’s return to the scripture.
Revelation 17:10
These seven kings are the remaining horns on the beast in Daniel 7:7. Each one of these kings had the blessing of the Pope.
The first is Justinian, the quote below is from Reader’s Digest (THE LAST 2 MILLION YEARS PAGES 123,121.)
The golden age of Justinian, page 123.
One of the greatest of the Byzantine emperors came to the throne in 527. He was Justinian I, whose 38-year reign was distinguished by three major achievements. He reconquered much of the old Western Empire; he modernized Roman Law; and built hundreds of churches, including the magnificent Hagia Sophia, the church of the holy wisdom, in Constantinople. He devoted his long reign to trying recreate the old Roman Empire as it was when dominated the Mediterranean throughout the centuries before the barbarian invasion. He succeeded in driving the Vandals from Africa and the Ostrogoths from Italy.
Page 121. The magnificent Hagia Sophia, the church of the holy wisdom, was completed by Justinian in 537 and became the focus of religious life in Constantinople. Processions filed in an out of its doors on the frequent saints days, and most Byzantine emperors after Justinian were crowned in the church. More than 10,000 people worked on the building of Hgaia Sophia; when it was finished, Justinian is said to have exclaimed, Solomon I have out done thee.
The next was Charlemagne. This Quote is from “The Pictorial History Of Italian People” page 81.
Charlemagne himself remained ever after a major figure of Italian lore as did, with modified names, the English monk Alcuin (Charle-magne’s trusted adviser for many years) and the gal-lant knight Roland. All Italians certainly took pride in the revived title of Roman emperor and in the great ceremony at which Pope Leo III crowned Cbarle-magne in the old Basilica of Saint Peter’s in Rome, on Christmas Day of the year 800; There had been no emperor of the West since 476: now Italy seemed again to be the leading Western nation.
Quote from Funk and Wagnall’s online encyclopedia, under Holy Roman Empire.
On December 25, 800, Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne emperor. This act established both a precedent and a political structure that were destined to figure decisively in the affairs of central Europe. The precedent established the papal claim to the right to select, crown, and even depose emperors that was asserted, at least in theory, for nearly 700 years. In its primary stage, the resurrected Western Empire endured as an effective political entity for less than 25 years after the death of Charlemagne in 814. The reign of his son and successor, Louis I, was marked by feudal and fratricidal strife that climaxed in 843 in partition of the empire. For an account of the growth, vicissitudes, and final dissolution of the Frankish realm, see FRANCE.
The third was Otto the great. Quote from Funk and Wagnall’s online encyclopedia, under Holy Roman Empire.
Despite the dissension within the newly created Western Empire, the popes maintained the imperial organization and the imperial title, mainly within the Carolingian dynasty, for most of the 9th century. The emperors exercised little authority beyond the confines of their dominions, however. After the reign (905-24) of Berengar I of Friuli (850?- 924), also styled as king of Italy or ruler of Lombardy, who was crowned emperor by Pope John X, the imperial throne remained vacant for nearly four decades. The East Frankish kingdom, or Germany, capably led by Henry I and Otto I, emerged as the strongest power in Europe during this period. Besides being a capable and ambitious sovereign, Otto I was an ardent friend of the Roman Catholic church, as revealed by his appointment of clerics to high office, by his missionary activities east of the Elbe River, and finally by his military campaigns, at the behest of Pope John XII, against Berengar II (900?-66), king of Italy. In 962, in recognition of Otto’s services, John XII awarded him the imperial crown and title.
The 4th Charles V Quoted from Grolier Encyclopedia.
Charles V, Holy Roman emperor (1519-56) and Ñas Charles IÑking of Spain (1516-56), dominated the politics of Europe for 40 years. Charles was born in Ghent, in present-day Belgium, on Feb. 24, 1500, the eldest son of the Habsburg Philip the Handsome (later Philip I) and Joan the Mad of Castile. From his father, who died in 1506, he inherited the Netherlands (including most of the modern Netherlands and Belgium) and Franche Comt? (a French-speaking province that bordered eastern France but belonged to the Holy Roman Empire). After the death (1516) of his maternal grandfather, Ferdinand II of Aragon, Charles became ruler of the kingdoms of Spain and the Spanish dependencies in ItalyÑthe kingdoms of Naples, Sicily, and Sardinia. The Habsburg possessions of Austria and several smaller south German lordships came to him on the death (1519) of his paternal grandfather, Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, as did hereditary claims to the crowns of Hungary and Bohemia. The latter were made good by his younger brother Ferdinand (later Emperor Ferdinand I) in 1526, after the last independent king of Hungary, Louis II, was killed by the Turks in the Battle of Moh‡cs. Meanwhile, in 1519, Charles had been elected German king and Holy Roman emperor in succession to his grandfather Maximilian. 15
The 5th was Napoleon Bonaparte, Quoted from Grolier Encyclopedia With peace restored, Bonaparte extended French influence into Holland (the Batavian Republic), Switzerland (the Helvetic Republic), and Savoy-Piedmont, which was annexed to France; he played the major role in the Imperial Recess (1803), by which the free cities and minor states of the Holy Roman Empire were consolidated; and he attempted to extend the French colonial empire, principally by recovering Haiti (see Louisiana Purchase). As a result of these policies and his refusal to grant trade concessions to Britain, war was renewed in 1803. In the wake of these events, which revived royalist hostility, the Senate petitioned Bonaparte to establish a hereditary dynasty. On Dec. 2, 1804, therefore, Napoleon crowned himself emperor in a ceremony presided over by Pope Pius VII. Napoleon created a titled court that included many of his statesmen and generals as well as ex-royalists. Believing that family ties were more durable than treaties, in the next few years he placed members of his family on the thrones of several satellite statesÑNaples, Holland, Westphalia, and SpainÑand married his relatives to some of the most distinguished families in Europe.
The 6th was Benito Mussolini Quoted from Grolier Encyclopedia.
On Mar. 23, 1919, Mussolini and other war veterans founded in Milan a revolutionary, nationalistic group called the Fasci di Combattimento, named for the ancient Roman symbol of power, the fasces. His Fascist movement developed into a powerful “radicalism of the right,” gaining the support of many landowners in the lower Po valley, industrialists, and army officers. Fascist black shirt squads carried on local civil war against Socialists, Communists, Catholics, and Liberals.
fas’-eez : In ancient Rome, fasces were rods of elm or birch tied together with leather thongs around an ax with projecting blade, used as a symbol of authority. They were carried by lictors (guards) walking in advance of public officials including praetors, consuls, proconsuls, victorious generals, dictators, and emperors. The Italian Fascist party adopted the fasces as its emblem and took its name from them. Quote from Reader Digest
THE LAST 2 MILLION YEARS PAGE 409.
With its uniform of black shirts and slogan, no discussion only obedience, the fascist party came to power. Mussolini ordered his followers to march on Rome in 1922; the king gave way before this show of force and called on Mussolini to form a government. Mussolini gradually transformed Italy into a dictatorship, basing his policies on the idea of corporative state. Under his rule, the Fascist attempted to control every major aspect of Italian life. He took the title of Il Duce (the leader) and suppressed parliament, retaining the monarchy as a figure-head. The Duce had grandiose ambition of reviving the glories of Ancient Rome and making the Italians once again a conquering, militaristic people. These ambition, strengthen by the memory of humiliating defeat the Italians had suffered at Adowa in Ethiopia in 1896, led him to attack and conquer Ethiopia in 1935-6.
As you have seen above each one of these Leaders tried to restore the Ancient Roman Empire and failed. Notice also how the Papacy played a major role in each of these leaders reign. Prophecy cannot be broken, keep your eye on Europe the 7th king will show himself soon. 16
We will now return to the scripture. Below in the Book Revelation we will see the great whore that sitteth upon many waters is the Roman Catholic Church. The waters are millions of people that follow this bad doctrine put forth by this church. The city where the whore sits is Vatican City. Documented history will show us the exact location of this city, so you will have no doubt in your mind were this city is.
Revelation 17:1-2
Is this a literal wine? No. The Lord is giving you a physical side to understand a spiritual side. Let’s let the scripture explain this for us. Take a look at these verses in the Book of Isaiah.
Isaiah 29:9
If they are not drunk with wine, what are they drunk from? Pay close attention to Isaiah.
Isaiah 29:10-12
Notice it said the Lord has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep. Why has he done this? Here is the answer.
Isaiah 29:13
This is why the Lord has done this. This people can care less about what the Lord says. They go about with their own doctrine. The Book clearly states the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, these people teach don’t fear Him. Fear means fear, and everyone on the planet will know what fear is all about when they see the sky roll back like a scroll. What is this doctrine called? Where did these people get it? Take a look at these verses in the Book of Revelations.
Revelation 2:13
What church holds fast the name of the Lord? Does not the Roman Catholic Church? This church is steal casting a stumbling block before the children of Israel. This church possesses the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes which the Lord hates. What is some of this doctrine?
1. The Law is no more
2. You are saved already
3. Babbling is speaking in tongues
4. You are born again already
5. You will be Raptured off the earth
6. The Trinity
7. Jesus loves everyone
8. You can eat what ever you want just pray over it
9. Female preachers
10. Confess your sins to a man in a box
11. Christmas
12. Easter
13. Good Friday
14. Sunrise service
15. Sunday is the Lord’s Sabbaths Day
16. Lent
17. Ash Wednesday
18. You don’t have to read the old testament, etc…
This is some of the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, notice also above in revelation it said that Satan’s seat was there. Let’s go a little further In Revelation 17 and see if we can locate his seat.
Revelation 17:3
Notice how the woman is sitting on the beast. If you sit on a horse, who is doing the guiding you or the horse? You are. The same thing is being done here, the woman is riding the beast and controlling it. Notice something else, the beast has seven heads and ten horns. Who is this beast? Let’s find out.
Revelation 12:3
Satan doesn’t look like this, he is a cherub angel (Ezk. 1). This simply shows who this beats is ran by. In the book Of Daniel the Gentiles are call the children of the prince (Satan), the Gentilesheaded up by the Roman General Titus are the ones who destroyed Jerusalem in 70 A.D. Knowing now that Satan runs the Gentile dynasty let’s find out where he sits. Back to Revelation 17.
Revelation 17:4-9
Let’s see if we can find out what city sits on seven mountains.
This Quote is from the Pictorial History of Italian People page 31.
Romans were now confident in their own strength. When, after over thirty years of nearly continual fighting, this round of wars ended, the small independent township centered on the seven hills had become a state embracing most of what is today’s Latium and parts of Umbria.
Quote from Grolier Encyclopedia below.
The Seven Hills of Rome are the hills on which the ancient city was built. Of volcanic origin and situated on the east bank of the Tiber River, they consist of the Palatine, which lies at approximately the center of the hills, the Capitoline in the northwest, and the Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Caelian, and Aventine in the southwest. According to tradition, Romulus, the city’s legendary founder, established the original settlement on the Palatine Hill, which, during the Roman Empire, was the site of the emperors’ palaces. The other hills were incorporated as parts of Rome by a succession of early kings. The Servian Wall, which surrounded the seven hills, was built in the 4th century ©; parts of it still survive.
Let’s return to the Bible in the Book of Revelation.
Revelation 17:12
This verse is a little beyond us. The one-hour with beast is the “Great Tribulation”. :13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
The ten Horns which are ten kings represent the European Economic Community. There are 12 nations within this community at this moment. Notice it said they are of one mind. In the year 2002 they will all be using one common currency (Euro dollar), these are all Roman Catholic nations. Pay close attention to the next set of verses.
Revelation 13:1-5
Who gave this beast its power? The dragon (Satan). Notice something else, look at verse 2. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. Here you have your Gentile dynasty. The four beast in Daniel that were separate are now all one. This would represent an alliance, or of one mind. Notice something else, the beast had a deadly wound, but it was healed. This is none other that the Roman Empire being resurrected. Why? Remember they are of one mind. Take a look at this.
Quote from Funk and Wagnall’s Encyclopedia. (Treaty of Rome).
In June 1955 the foreign ministers of the six nations in the ECSC agreed to examine the possibilities for further economic integration. This new effort resulted in the two Treaties of Rome of March 1957, which created the European Economic Community (EEC, often referred to as the Common Market) and the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom). The latter organization has proved of little importance because the national governments have kept control of their own nuclear power programs. In June 1997, the EU reached agreement on the Amsterdam Treaty, a revision of the existing treaty negotiated in Maastricht. Under the Amsterdam Treaty, EU countries adopting the Euro as their common currency are obligated to pay heavy fines if they incur excessive budget deficits. EUROPEAN UNION, (EU), supranational organization founded on Nov. 1, 1993, as the successor to the European Community (EC). In addition to taking over the economic responsibilities of the EC (see below), the EU was also charged with forging a Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and creating closer cooperation among the EU member states in the areas of justice, home affairs, and social policy. At the time of its creation, the EU had 12 members: Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain. Norwegian voters declined EU membership in a national referendum in November 1994, but Austria, Finland, and Sweden were admitted as of Jan. 1, 1995. In the late 1990s, many other nations, including those of Eastern Europe, were actively seeking EU membership.
At this moment there are more than ten nations in the European Common Market, Belgium and Ireland are the only 2 nations at this time that doesn’t participate with the security of the EU. The other 10 have armies in place ready to defend the EU sense 1996. These are the armies that will make war with the Lamb. Back to Revelation 17.
Revelation 17:14-18
Remember the city that set on seven mountains, the Lord calls it Babylon the Great.
Below in Daniel shows the Gentile Dynasty being taken down by the Lord along with his saints. Within these few verses you have a span of time over 2,000 years. Let’s take a look at Daniel 7:11-15
If you continue to read the Bible will explain all you need to know. Daniel asked for the truth and he got it. Watch how the scripture interprets itself. Daniel 7:17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
Four kingdoms are Babylonians, Medes and the Persians, Greeks and the Romans. Watch the time jump in the next verse.
Daniel 7:18
This is after the first resurrection. The saints along with the angels will take the earth by force
Daniel 7:19-20
The fourth beast is the Roman Empire; the horn that came up from among them was the Papacy. The three that fail were the 3 Germanic tribes that took out the last Roman Cesar, which was Romulus Augustulus. The 3 tribes were the Ostrogoths, Vandals and the Herulians. Nine has fallen, the tenth hasn’t shown himself as of yet.
1. Ostrogoths
2. Vandals
3. Herulians
4. Justinian
5. Charlemagne
6. Otto the Great
7. Charles V
8. Napoleon Bonaparte
9. Benito Mussolini
10. I am waiting to be revealed in my time.
Those who don’t make it to the place of safety will not have any protection from this guy
Daniel 7:22-27
Now you see the Gentiles will run the earth until the Lord returns. You also see that world history lines up very well. Let’s list the beast and kingdoms and who they represent.
This image represents the entire Gentile ruler ship as seen by Nebuchadnezzar in the 2nd chapter of Daniel.
1.Head of gold –Represents the Babylonian Empire.
2.Breasts and arms of silver -Represents the Medo-Persian Empire.
3.Belly and thighs of brass -Represents the Greek Empire.

Daniel Chapter 7
LION - The lion represents Babylon, from Nebuchadnezzar to Belteshazzar.
BEAR - The bear represents Medo-Persia from Darius the Mede to Darius III, the Persian.
LEOPARD - The leopard represents the Greek Empire. The four heads on this leopard represents the four generals that inherited the kingdom from Alexander the Great. (They are Lysimachus, Ptolemy, Cassander, and Seleucid.)
TERRIBLE BEAST - This beast represents Rome; the head represents all the emperors of Rome, from Octavian to Romulus Agustalus. The ten horns represent the men that tried to restore Rome after its fall.
Why did the Lord allow these beast to devour the earth? Read these verses in Hosea very carefully and you will see why!
Hosea 13:1-8
Israel sin against the Lord that is why he sent these nations upon us. Did you notice something in verse 8. The Lord said, “I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them. These are the beast that were in the book of Daniel. Now you see who calls “ALL” the shots.
May the Lord add a blessing to the reading of his word in Jesus name.
Peace and Blessings
