What military power do NATO and other military organizations have in this prophecy?
Within this prophecy, NATO and other military organizations hold tremendous power, specifically nuclear weapons, advanced technology, and related capabilities witnessed in recent years. This military strength is connected to the revived Roman Empire, or present European community, which represents the sequence of Gentile empires.
Les teaches that militarily each successive empire became greater until the revived Roman Empire, or the present European community. Yet NATO and various other military organizations have the tremendous power of nuclear weapons and the technology and other things witnessed over the last few years. He also notes that these empires are all Gentile, and Israel was connected to every one of them; each included the land of Palestine and the city of Jerusalem. However, the iron and clay, the ten toes of the European community, do not yet have that kind of relationship with Israel. Mostly America is keeping the little nation going. The Antichrist will come out of the geographical area of the old Roman Empire, and he will come in peaceably and with flatteries.
