Russia, China or the U.S. - Who Is the Final Superpower in Revelation

Описание: While many eschatologists focus on Russia or China as the primary "antagonist," Dr. Hiram Rester argues that the United States is specifically the "beast coming up out of the earth" described in Revelation 13:11.

The Two Horns like a Lamb: He identifies these as the two founding principles of America—Civil and Religious Liberty. The "lamb-like" nature represents the nation's Christian foundations and its rise in a sparsely populated area (the "earth" rather than the "sea" of crowded Europe). Verses are provided to show waters in prophecy represent multitudes of people whereas the earth is the opposite with few persons at the rise of this power.

The Voice of the Dragon: The video warns that despite its lamb-like appearance, the U.S. eventually "speaks like a dragon." Rester points to legislative and social shifts as evidence that the U.S. is transitioning into a power that will eventually enforce the mandates of the first beast (the Antichrst system).

Russia and China's Role
A Distraction or Supporting Cast: Rester suggests that while Russia and China are significant global players (often linked to the "kings of the east" or the "bear" of Daniel by some eschatologist), they are not the final superpower that enforces the Mark of the Beast.

The Global Enforcer: He posits that the United States, through its global influence and "image to the beast," will be the primary vehicle for the final crisis, using its power to compel the world to follow the first beast's authority.

Rester shares that at this point in time, The Mark will be enforced globally and so either the United States becomes an enforcer or some other power must overthrow the U.S. to accomplish that function on this continent.

The Prophetic Timeline
The video emphasizes that the rise of the U.S. as a world power was a fulfillment of prophecy, but its current trajectory—moving away from its "lamb-like" roots toward dragon-like coercion—is the final sign before the close of human history.
