Wipe out Islam? 1.8 Billion people spread throughout the whole world.
The very first move by a Brilliant tactician, which this man will be because he understands DARK SENTENCES {Dan. 8:25/Riddles} and thus he understands the very first move he needs to make is to WIPE OUT Islam, they blow people up today for believing in Jesus Christ, they are not going to ever worship a man as a diety !! So his first move, AFTER the Rapture of the Christian Church, where we all die, and our Spirit men go to heaven, will be to deceive the Muslim Nations VIA Peace like Dan. 8:25 says, then he will Conquer them and slay the ones who refuse to worship him as God. This is THE HARLOT {All False Religion of All Time equals the Harlot} that gets Destroyed by the 10 Kings in Rev. 17:16, NOTICE, in verse 17 it says they did the will of God. This is God's Judgment of the Great Harlot, she has to DIE OFF in order for there to be a ONE WORLD Religion that all men are ordered to worship, there can't be any Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Witchcraft, he even chases the Jews who become Messianic Jews into the Wilderness trying to kill them, and he slays the Remnant Church {Gentiles who come to Christ AFTER the Rapture, many were the 5 foolish virgins who tarried}. So the Genius move is to break their backs before they understand what is going on and to come in hard and heave in them because they will fight to the death.
There is a Beast man yes. There is also a beast empire. Surely you haven't overlooked that?
That is clear in all the prophets and in Revelation.
Daniel and Revelation spell it out with specifics.

While I agree, all the others were Empires, God calls this MAN the Beast in Rev. 19:20 and Daniel 7:11. And in Rev. 13 he gets the moniker of 666. Finally, in Rev. 17 God reduces the 7 Kingdoms to 7 Kings for a reason, to let us know the Last Beast is a MAN.
The EU, however horrible, is a political union made up of 27 26 member states. All Christian nations. It simply doesn't fit.
7 heads and ten horns is what you should be looking for.
Rev. 12 is the Dragon...........Rev. 13 is The Anti-Christ.........Rev. 17 is about Apollyon, the Scarlet Colored Beast. The CROWNS tells the story in each case. In Rev. 12 the SEVEN CROWNS are on the Seven Heads. In Rev, 13 the 10 Horns have the CROWNS on them, they are ruled by the Anti-Christ Beast. In Rev. 17 there are NO CROWNS at all because his Kingdom is not of this world, but he's the King of the Bottomless Pit. This he {Apollyon} was OF THE SEVEN.........but is an 8th.
The Bible isn't a Eurocentric book. It isn't about the USA or Europe. It's a thoroughly Mid-East focused story. Israel and the surrounding nations.
The beast you are looking for is an empire ridden by an anti-christ religion that is drunk on the blood of the saints.
An empire that is a geographical composite of Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, Persia, & Ancient Greece. The Islamic Caliphate is the ONLY empire controlled by a religious-law system that has dominated the region and heavily persecuted Israel and Christians. You can't change that fact. It's 1400 years of Middle Eastern history. The head of the Caliphate was removed in 1924. All seven heads of the beast are encompassed by the Islamic empire. Put the round peg in the round hole. It's not off-kilter. Nothing else fits scripture like it. EVERY nation mentioned prophetically in judgement BY NAME is today Islamic.
God Bless, chat with you later, maybe tomorrow, God willing.
