Read the second and sev enth chapters of Daniel, as well as Revelation 13 and 17, and see how in the end times there will be, on the continent of Europe, a con federacy of nations.

This represents a group of rulers rather than a single monarch. We certainly do not downgrade the Authorized Ver sion in any sense. In 1611 when this was translated that statement was Page 19
