THE "TEN KINGS" (The United Nations) ARE NOW WARRING AGAINST THE LAMB BY GIVING THEIR AUTHORITY TO THE BEAST. (Rev 17:12-18 NWT).

These "ten kings" who are the members of the United Nations Organisation have not received a kingdom, but are now being given their "one hour" of authority as kings over the political matters of this world, with the current "eighth king" of political rulers and "image" of the beast (satan). (Rev 17:11). This action is described as their "one thought", which God has put into their hearts. This thought is also the one thought of God until His words have been accomplished as regards the "harlot". But what is this "one thought"? It is to completely desolate her, and her "harlot" daughters. The "harlot" are all false religions of "Babylon the great", the "mother" of many false religious "harlot" daughters (sects) worldwide today; that all originated from the country of Iraq (the original location of ancient Babylon where more than 50 deities of idol worship existed).

Then why, one may ask, are the people of the nations demonstrating in the streets, and repeatedly arguing in the media against a desolating war with Iraq? The answer, is that when all organizations of false religious worship, corrupt commerce, and political rulerships are destroyed, then God has promised He will begin His rule of righteousness over mankind through His Son, who will rule the nations with a "rod of iron". (Rev 19:15). People will no longer be imprisoned within any spirit of false religion instituted by humans ("dungy idols"). Then the rule of God and His Spirit "upon the air" will enrage His enemies among the nations. (Rev 11:17,18. 16:17). Why? Because, instead of the spirit of this world dominating in people's lives, within which they were able to hide their deep sinfulness unabated, His righteousness will instead be felt with a corrective disciplining "rod of iron", causing them to experience constant and unrelenting feelings of shame.

It should be borne in mind that the Spirit of God has so many wonderful qualities for our benefit: Wisdom, justice, mercy, agapé love, righteousness, peace, tranquility, patience, long-suffering, joy, tenderness, humility, as well as His righteous indignation upon those who abuse His wonderful qualities.

The prophecy goes on to say that the "ten kings" (of the United Nations organisation) and the "beast" will battle with the Lamb, but that the Lamb will defeat them, and those called and chosen and faithful with him will do so. (Rev 17:14). This means that the Lamb (The Christ Michael) is about to destroy all the existing works of symbolic "Babylon", consisting of the world empires of commerce, the "false prophet", all political rulers with the authority of the "beast" satan, and all their supporters, such as the police, the military, corrupting corporations and other oppressive organizations, such as those tyrants "driving others to work". (Isaiah 14:4-7 NWT).

QUESTION: WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER THE "TEN KINGS" HAVE THEIR "ONE HOUR" OF SOVEREIGNTY WITH THE "BEAST"?

The applicable scriptures in the revelation to John answer this important question. The Lamb and his faithful ones will conquer them, because he is King of kings. Then it says the "ten horns" (the United Nations organisation) together with the "beast" satan (with his "image" of political rulers on earth) will hate the "harlot" (the "mother" who gave birth to all false religious worship) and will "strip her naked and leave her desolate, they will batten on her flesh and burn her to ashes." (Rev 17:16 NWT NEB) This is the "one thought" that God prophesied through his Son, and his apostle John, He would put into the hearts of the "ten kings", and the "beast" who had already given his authority to his "image", namely political rulers. (Rev 13:2).

After the "one hour" of the United Nations Organisation's kingly authority is terminated, they will with "common cause" confer their sovereignty upon the "beast" until all that God has spoken (in many other scriptures) is fulfilled. (Rev 17:16-18 NEB). The description "one hour" means just a short period of time, which incidentally is almost over, and which the members of the UN used to war against the Lamb of God by refusing to desolate the "harlot". This is about to be reversed.

"THEIR ONE THOUGHT" IS TO DESOLATE
BABYLON, IN IRAQ.

Currently, the French and German political rulers who are two members of the "ten kings" are still exercising their kingly authority to this day of the 4th February 2003. But when their "one hour" of allowed authority comes to an end, then they will also give their authority over to the "beast" satan again, in the same way as the other members have done. They will all come to hate all the false religions of the "mother" and her "harlot daughters" of sects and idol worshippers, and will make her naked (expose all her religious deceptions among the nations since her beginning). Then these ten political kings, who are the "image" of the beast, will desolate the "mother" and her Babylonian "harlots" where they prostituted themselves, namely worldwide. Iraq will therefore be desolated first, and in "one hour" (a short period of time).

The political ruling "image" on earth are the "eighth king", with the same dispositions as the previous seven individual world rulers. Nebuchadnezzar was the first of the seven ruling kings over all the earth. The "image" is made up of many political ruling kings.

God is bringing satan (gog) against satan (gog), and as it says, a house divided against itself cannot stand. (Mark 3:25,26).
