According to the Bible, "there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, [and] the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space" (Revelation 17:10). Coincidently, there are exactly seven beasts representing world influencing powers. Daniel 7:4 with the lion representing Babylon, Daniel 7:5 with the bear representing Medo-Persia, Daniel 7:6 with the leopard representing Greece, Daniel 7:7 with the ugly beast with iron teeth representing Rome, Revelation 13:1-2 with the conglomerate beast representing the antichrist in the past, Revelation 11:7 the released beast causing atheism that was perfected by U.S.S.R. that fell in 1991, followed by the beast of Revelation 13:11 showing the United States coming to power in the end of the 1700s as well as changing in character once they became the lone super power, but Revelation 17:11 states "the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition" (Revelation 17:11) means that antichrist is the next power on the scene. There is no guessing with it being Southern Africa, China, Europe, or any other location as the article and others suggest.
