What will the ten kings do with their power and strength in Revelation 17?

The ten kings will agree with one mind and give their power and strength to the beast, the Antichrist. Though they receive authority as kings for one hour alongside him, they surrender their power to him, enabling his complete control.

Les explains that the ten horns represent ten kings, presidents, or prime ministers who have received no kingdom as yet. They do not have the power and political clout the Antichrist will have, but they receive power as kings for one hour, a short period, with the beast. Then they all agree, have one mind, and give their power and strength to the Antichrist. He has been maneuvering for this; he comes with peace, prosperity, and flatteries, manipulating rather than taking over by civil war. Earlier, Les sees ten nations, three losing their identity, leaving seven, and from the seven the Antichrist emerges as the eighth and takes complete control.

Revelation 17:12

And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
