Who heads the final Roman Empire?
The final Roman Empire is headed by the Antichrist, a single man. Satan, the dragon, gives him his power, throne, and authority. This empire is a consortium of nations, a revived Roman Empire that once suffered a deadly wound and then returns.
Les teaches that the final Roman Empire is a consortium of nations, an empire that will be headed up in one man, the Antichrist. The dragon, Satan, gives him his power, his throne, and his authority. One of his heads was wounded to death, but the deadly wound was healed. Les prefers to see this as the Roman Empire, which suffered a deadly wound, died, collapsed, and faded off the scene, now coming up again. He connects this to Daniel chapter 7, where Greece is the leopard, the Medes the bear, and the Babylonians the lion. He also references Western Europe as a revived Roman Empire.
