“And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.” Daniel 2:21 NKJV
Today I want to elaborate on a conjecture I made last week concerning the death of Queen Elizabeth, and the possible ramifications it might have with the plans for a new world order and the emergence of the coming man of sin most commonly referred to as the antichrist. While it will most certainly require a number of events, all working towards a common goal of world domination, there could in fact be one last roadblock which once removed would facilitate the rapid and unchecked rise of the new world order. Acknowledging that what follows is simply my opinion, I nonetheless believe it is both a logical and plausible scenario for the emergence of the antichrist.
The Word of God states clearly that at the beginning of the coming period of judgment for this world called the tribulation, one man will emerge as a charismatic leader that the world’s leaders will all eventually submit their authority to. In order for this to occur, it follows that all of these different leaders must be willing to allow him to rule over their respective governments. The truth is, for many this seems a rather farfetched idea given the independent nature of most governments as well as mankind as a whole, yet we are told that this is indeed what will happen.
It has been close to thirty years now that I have studied biblical prophecy as it relates to our current geopolitical environment and something which has always been an item of interest is evaluating the current leaders of the major powers and wonder if they would in fact be willing to cede their power to someone else just as the Bible predicts. While in truth this has simply been a mental exercise on my part as leaders come and leaders go, the passing of Queen Elizabeth brought it back to the forefront given her outspoken faith in Jesus Christ and her steadfast devotion to her country for seventy years.
The truth is, I could never see any circumstance whatsoever which would have made me consider that she would somehow be a party to allowing Her rule to be usurped by the antichrist no matter how eloquent and convincing he might prove to be. Unfortunately that has changed now with her death and the succession of her son Charles to the throne, especially if you are familiar with something he said in the not so distant past. While speaking at the COP26 Climate Summit in Glasgow Scotland in November of last year, he made a rather startling statement. In discussing climate change and how to fight it, he said this; “Here we need a vast military style campaign to marsh the strength of the global private sector, with trillions at his disposal far beyond global GDP, and with the greatest respect, beyond even the governments of the world’s leaders.”
I will admit I had to read that over and over again to come to grips with what he was saying but I believe you simply can’t escape the fact that he stated very clearly he is on board with letting one man control trillions of dollars to conduct a military campaign without the oversight or direction of the world’s governments all in the name of climate change. This is the stated desire of the man who is now the King of England, and though simply my opinion, England now joins the US and all other major powers in their willingness to cede authority for a cause many believe is fraudulent and unscientific.
Yet it is not the cause I am concerned with but rather governments’ willingness, if not eagerness, to band together to fight something as dubious as climate change. Truthfully, if this is their reaction to what we are seeing today, what will their reaction be when the tribulation starts and God’s judgments begin to fall on this world and those left behind after the rapture of the Church? Personally I’m beginning to understand the plausibility of the world’s leaders ceding authority to the antichrist just as the Bible tells us they will.
“And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.” Revelation 6:2 NKJV
I want to include a portion of an article by Chuck Missler about this coming period of time and hope it might also shed some light on this coming leader who will somehow convince the world to allow him to rule.
“In Revelation 13 we learn that the time will come when no one will be able to buy or sell without pledging allegiance to a coming world leader.5 Most prophecy buffs assume that there will be a total world government in place at that time.
Well, not exactly. Armageddon involves a four-power conflict.6 And we know that there will be some regions that elude his grasp.7 But there will arise a World Leader with megalomaniacal ambitions.
The Man on Horseback
He makes his first appearance in Revelation 6 as a conqueror riding a white horse.8 (Strangely, he is carrying a bow rather than a sword. The term is toxon - toxon in the Greek, first used as a token of a covenant in Genesis 9:13. Could this be an allusion to the covenant that he enforces in Daniel 9:27?)
The Bible has much to say about this personage. Identified as the "Seed of the Serpent" in Genesis 3:15, there are over 33 allusions in the Old Testament and at least 13 in the New Testament. There is even a physical description of him in Zechariah.9
It is remarkable about how much is said of his career. He will be an intellectual genius,10 a persuasive orator,11 a shrewd political manipulator,12 a successful commercial genius,13 a forceful military leader, 14 a powerful organizer,15 as well as a unifying religious guru.16 Paul declares that he will ultimately set himself to be worshiped in the Temple to be rebuilt in Jerusalem:
...that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
-2 Thessalonians 2:4
("Exalteth himself above all that is called God." That includes Allah, the god of Islam. He is accepted by the world as a false Christ: Antichristo, in the Greek, means instead of Christ as well as against Christ, as we commonly assume. He apparently is initially accepted by Israel as their Messiah. And, somehow, he is also accepted by the Muslim world-perhaps as the Twelfth Imam, which they are presently anticipating. Remarkable fellow. Indeed, Satan's finest hour, it would seem.)17
Most expositors believe he will be a Gentile, as he is described as a Roman Prince.18 Some believe this leader will be a Jew,19 as he is received as a Messiah by Israel.20 (However, let us remember that there are two major players in Revelation 13!)
There are many that believe he is alive today. Some believe he is genealogically related to the Merovingian line from the Franks, and thus ultimately linked to the family trees of the Habsburgs and the Houses of Lorraine, Plantard, Luxembourg, Pontzat, Montesquieu, Sinclair, Stuart, and most of the royal families of Europe. Among contemporary luminaries are Otto von Habsburg of Austria21 and his son Karl; King Juan Carlos I of Spain and his son Felipe; and, most notably, Charles, Prince of Wales.22

The expression “the last domino to fall” has been used often in the geopolitical world for years and I believe it is self explanatory when applied to roadblocks stopping or slowing progress in a conflict. Satan has a plan for this world and the specifics are well explained by the Word of God. I believe that hindsight might well prove that the death of Queen Elizabeth II was the last domino to fall regarding world leaders who would have opposed Satan’s plans.
Keep watching.
