Revelation 17:14
Revelation 17:14: “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
This is the ultimate fate of the beast: he and his minions will launch an attack against Jesus Himself, and they will fail. Jesus will return to battle them in person, and He will slay all of them. The Lamb shall overcome them. It will not even be a contest.
None of these things are happening by accident. The beast may think that he is in control, but the reality is that all of this was God’s doing. Even the antichrist is simply carrying out the plan that God fashioned long ago:
Revelation 17:17: “For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.”
God is the one who is shaping history – He sets up kingdoms and tears them down. God is using these 10 kings in order to fulfill His own will.
