Identifying the Ten Horned Beast

Revelation and Daniel both describe a beast with 10 horns. How do we know its identity?

Here's the Bible Prophecy breakthrough you've been waiting for—from two overlooked keys in the hard sayings of Jesus now made plain in the most accurate prophecy research available, because it departs from traditional "anything goes" allegorical interpretations which disregard Jesus' only statement on how to interpret Scripture correctly.

“I've been searching all of my adult life for this kind of wisdom! I have listened to Irvin Baxter for 13 years and the Prophecy Club off and on for the same amount of time. I felt like I only had bits and pieces of the big picture. Then I hit the "wisdom and understanding jackpot" the next night when I typed "Prophecy" into a google search and out of all the sights that were available, I clicked on Tim's site first! It was like God pulled a needle out of a haystack for me in answer to my prayer from the day before!”

In a book that was written in the 70s, called Mankind at the Turning Point (commissed to be written by the Club of Rome) they divided up the world into 10 regions. It's very interesting but I don't believe that is the 10 horned beast from the Bible. Let me tell you why.

In Daniel 7 you have four beasts there:

1. a lion with the Eagles wings: the lion is Great Britain, the wings is United States.
2. A bear: that second beast is Russia.
3. A Leopard: This third Beast is Germany. (Second Third and Fourth Reich).
4. A 10 horned beast: The 10 horned beast there is the same thing as a ten toed image in Daniel 2. We can prove that that's the Holy Roman Empire.

It's after the 10 horned beast exists then that all these powers then go together in Revelation 13 and now we see not four beasts but just one beast with:

1. a body of a leopard...
2. the feet of the bear...
3. the mouth of the lion...
4. with the 10 horns of the 10 horned beast kingdom

So it appears that the 10 horns exist not at the birth of world government, but before the birth of world government. And then they come together to form that world government.

So it is on the strength of that, even though the first scenario is very interesting, I've come to believe that that it is not the way the Ten Horned Kingdom rises.
