Rev 17: Woman, 7 Heads and 10 Horns

The beast was, is not, will rise from the pit, and go to destruction is the pinnacle of the empires in totality. In essence, the coming Antichrist will somewhat resurrect the old Roman Empire, what many commentators refer to as the revised Roman Empire. It is revised because it is raised again but it changes as well. This is clearly seen in Daniel 2 where Nebuchadnezzar has a dream about the statue, with Babylon being the head of gold, all the way to the feet and ten toes. The ten toes corresponds with the ten horns here in Revelation 17 and clearly shows that at some point, this revised Roman Empire that will most likely start in Europe will be ruled over by ten "kings" or powerful globalists. Once Antichrist begins his rise to power after the revised Roman Empire comes into existence, he will then wrest control from these ten kings (three of which he will likely get rid of either by deposing them or killing them), and take charge as sole ruler and at that point, his kingdom will incorporate the entire world.
