Les explains that although Europe is coming together politically and economically as a United States of Europe, it is fragile because of latent hatreds, pictured by iron mixed with clay. He says they will end up with ten nations because the book says so, and out of those ten nations will come the man, the Antichrist, who will make a treaty with Israel. That treaty will trigger God's time clock of prophecy and the final seven years. Les states that the situation is ripe for one man to come on the scene and that we are getting close to the appearance of the Antichrist, though he insists he is not a date setter.
