Daniel 2: [31]
Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose
brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. [32] This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of
silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, [33] His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. [34] Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which
smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and break them to
pieces. [35] Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the
gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing
floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and
the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole
earth. [36] This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof
before the king. [37] Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given
thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. [38] And wheresoever’s the children of men dwell, the beasts of the
field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made
thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold. [39] And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and
another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. [40] And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron
breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all
these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. [41] And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and
part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the
strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. [42] And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the
kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. [43] And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle
themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even
as iron is not mixed with clay. [44] And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a
kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to
other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and
it shall stand for ever. [45] Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain
without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the
silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come
to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof
sure.
Daniel 7: [1] In
the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of
his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the
matters. [2] Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the
four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. [3] And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from
another. [4] The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the
wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand
upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. [5] And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up
itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth
of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. [6] After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon
the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and
dominion was given to it. [7] After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast,
dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it
devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and
it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. [8] I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among
them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns
plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of
man, and a mouth speaking great things. [9] I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days
did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the
pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. [10] A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand
thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before
him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. [11] I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the
horn spoke: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and
given to the burning flame. [12] As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken
away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. [13] I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man
came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they
brought him near before him. [14] And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that
all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an
everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which
shall not be destroyed. [15] I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the
visions of my head troubled me. [16] I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth
of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things. [17] These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall
arise out of the earth. [18] But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess
the kingdom forever, even forever and ever. [19] Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse
from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his
nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with
his feet; [20] And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other
which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and
a mouth that spoke very great things, whose look was more stout than his
fellows. [21] I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed
against them; [22] Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the
saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the
kingdom. [23] Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon
earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole
earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. [24] And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise:and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and
he shall subdue three kings. [25] And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall
wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and
they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of
time. [26] But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion,
to consume and to destroy it unto the end. [27] And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom
under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most
High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve
and obey him. [28] Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations
much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my
heart.
Revelation
12:
[1] And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with
the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve
stars: [2] And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to
be delivered. [3] And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon,
having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Revelation 13: [1] And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a
beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and
upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. [2]
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as
the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the
dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. [3]
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly
wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. [4]
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and
they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is
able to make war with him? [5] And there was given unto him a
mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto
him to continue forty and two months. [6] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. [7]
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome
them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and
nations. [8] And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship
him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain
from the foundation of the world. [9] If any man have an ear, let him hear. [10]
He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth
with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and
the faith of the saints. [11] And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. [12]
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and
causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first
beast, whose deadly wound was healed. [13] And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, [14]
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those
miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to
them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the
beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. [15] And
he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of
the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not
worship the image of the beast should be killed. [16] And he
causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to
receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [18]Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the
beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred
threescore and six.
Revelation 17: [1] And there came one of the seven angels which
had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I
will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon
many waters: [2] With whom the kings of the earth have
committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made
drunk with the wine of her fornication. [3] So he carried me
away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a
scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads
and ten horns. [4] And the woman was arrayed in purple and
scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls,
having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of
her fornication: [5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. [6]
And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the
blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great
admiration. [7] And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst
thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast
that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. [8]
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the
bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth
shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the
foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is
not, and yet is. [9] And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. [10]And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other
is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. [11] And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. [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. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. [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. [15] And he saith unto
me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples,
and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. [16] And the ten
horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and
shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her
with fire. [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. [18] And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
The "Mark of the Beast" will for certain be used by the Arab Antichrist of the Islamic Empire of Ten Countries/Kingdom/Empire in the Old World countries of the Middle East, Europe, Northern Africa, parts of Southern Euro-Asia and will perhaps have some influence upon Great Britain. His Islamic Empire of Ten Arab Countries will last for 3 1/2 years or forty-two months.
There will be intense Natural Disasters during The Great Tribulation Period from Earthquakes, Volcanic Eruptions and Tsunamis. The World Economy will collapse and it will be a time of individual survival. The governments of the world will take more control of the freedoms of it's people than we've ever experience in recent times. As to how much control the World Governments will impose, remains to be seen. There will be massive Civil Unrest throughout the world and it's only a matter of time...
The Following is an article from another Website:
People in the United States and most western countries have no idea
what it is like to suddenly lose almost or all of their civil rights.
People have no concept of the feeling of everything they say and do
being controlled and regulated practically within an instant. Losing all
free speech, and free movement is mostly restricted. Everything is
watched and privacy is no more. Constitutions are suspended or torn up.
Unwritten rules, usually by one group, govern everyone in absoluteness.
Life under martial law is something many people don’t understand.
There is a grave misconception that martial law is always a temporary
“extra” police force to enforce a country’s laws and bring peaceful
order. In reality martial law can last lifetimes, as is the case in many
countries.
Some of the ways a country can come under martial law include;
natural calamities, economic collapse, war, terrorism, pandemic
outbreak, government coup, mass civil unrest, food shortages, in short,
any large enough emergency that shut down or severely hinder the order
of the country’s governing powers to govern as it has before martial
law.
Under martial law people should remember these issues:
- Martial law is a police state.
- Most of the time the police and military are not there to protect you, they are there to control you.
- Forget about privacy, you and and anything you own is available to full searches anytime.
- ANYTHING you have can be seized and taken.
- You can be moved to any location for any reason, they will probably tell you it is for safety purposes.
- You can be immediately “drafted” into doing just about anything.
- You are always under suspicion and watched closely under intense surveillance.
- You can be arrested and found guilty under just about any drummed up charge, and forget about any reasonable legal counsel.
- ALL police forces if given absolute powers will end up behaving like German Gestapo, it is human nature.
- Any talk against the governing forces and you will be classified as an immediate threat.
- You are probably a number rather than a name.
- You will probably have to undergo security measures that go against
your beliefs and what you stand for, especially means of identification
like implants, tattoos, or less evasive like retina scans,
fingerprinting, ID card.
- People around you, your family, friends neighbors, can suddenly disappear permanently without any reason given.
- Get used to censorship of everything that “they” do not want to be said.
- Know that it is not business as usual, your life, your world has
taken an abrupt complete turn to something you probably never expected
or dreamed off.
Could never happen in my country you say! Many people
have thought this throughout history to find out quite differently. In
the United States for example “awaits” a whole list of what is called
executive orders that ANY president can declare under the sole authority
of their office that are in reality a declaration of martial law. These
same methods of executive powers have been used by governments, such as
Hitler, to turn a free country into a complete police state.
Lets look at these executive orders of the USA that are nothing more than the foundations of martial law.
Executive Order 10995: All communications and media are to be seized
by the federal government, radio, TV, newspapers, CB, Ham, telephones,
internet, EVERY form of communications under federal control.
Executive Order 10997: All electrical power, fuels, all minerals seized by the federal government.
Executive Order 10998: All food resources, farms, farm equipment seized by government, also food hoarding prohibited.
Executive Order 10999: All forms of transportation under government control, all vehicles can be seized.
Executive Order 11000: All civilians can be used for work under federal supervision.
Executive Order 11490: Establish presidential control over all U.S. citizens, businesses, churches, everything.
Executive Order 12919: Directs various cabinet officials to be
constantly ready to take over virtually all aspects of the U.S. economy
during a state of national emergency at the direction of the president.
Executive Order 13010: Directs FEMA to take control over ALL
government agencies, FEMA is under control of executive branch, the
president.
Executive Order 12656: Assignment of emergency preparedness
responsibilities. Anything that threatens the national security of the
United States allows federal take over of ALL local law enforcement
agencies, wage and price controls. Prohibits you from moving in and out
of the USA, in other words creates a giant walled in police state.
These executive orders are real LAWS that can be used by the
president during any emergency the president of the U.S. deems necessary
to use. Other countries have other measures that they can use to begin
martial law also. It can happen anywhere.
Living through martial law:
People can take the feeling of give me liberty or give me death, but
in reality most people do not want to actually die solely for the
freedoms that they have been accustomed to being gone. While organizing
small to even large groups to protest and go against the police and
military forces might work while you still have rights, during a true
martial law situation it is likely to get you killed or disappeared.
Many past martial law events such as the French Resistance of World War 2
was eventually successful ONLY after massive outside allied help.
Unless you can organize a huge rebel force against those in control, you
and those around you will not have the firepower or raw trained
manpower to wage any reasonable resistance and you will lose. Might be
worth it to some.
To survive the horrors of martial law you can try the following:
- Hide or try to get away from the center areas of the most intense
martial law which would be the places with the most people. This is
fleeing into the countryside and wilderness. Depending on the
sophistication of the government’s ability to find those that are hiding
need to be taken in consideration.
- Try to get out of the country and find a country that will give you
asylum. This is a problem if other countries are also experiencing
breakdowns of their governments. Also the government is going to be
alerted to many other individuals trying to do the same thing, escape
from ……….
- Attempt to wait out the new “regime” and hope that your rights and
the government will be restored. The longer there is martial law the
less likely that the police state will go away. The less support against
the new government from outside governments, the less likely anything
is going to change for the better.
- Conform to what those want of you and agree to everything they say,
cause no problems, be quiet and silent. If you can stand it this may be
the ONLY way you can survive in such a situation. The government will
need workers that are obedient and cause no disruption. You can act
submissive to make those in charge feel you are not any problem, and
still not believe it and wait until something happens, an opportunity to
escape or even be part of some rebellion.
- Join the police or military force, become part of them and support
those in control. Praise and believable support is key here. Many people
sell out in life for security, money, any type of gratuities, in this
case it could be your life. Those in control will usually protect and
save those that are loyal to the state from what others that they deem
as disposable will suffer from. It is a lot more difficult to shoot
someone that will gladly work for the cause and that they consider part
of whatever they have established. Of course selling out your soul in a
sense could be a real problem.
The real key word to living through a true martial law situation is to ADAPT.
Any sudden ruling party, military and police is going to be changing
all the time, it is not as stable as people think. If you can adapt to
this change under martial law your chances of survival through this
nightmare will improve a lot.

The Following Article Is From: http://www.conservapedia.com/Martial_law
Martial law is military-enforced suppression invoked by a
government to subjugate the citizens after civilian law enforcement
fails to maintain order. Basic freedoms, such as free speech, are suspended and democracy is often ended also. Unless caused by a natural disaster or invasion by an enemy, the imposition of martial law is typically a step towards a totalitarian state.[1] The Following Article Is From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_law
Martial law is the imposition of military rule by military
authorities over designated regions on an emergency basis—usually only
temporary—when the civilian government or civilian authorities fail to
function effectively (e.g., maintain order and security, and provide
essential services), when there are extensive riots and protests, or
when the disobedience of the law becomes widespread. In most cases, military forces are deployed to quiet the crowds, to secure government buildings and key or sensitive locations, and to maintain order.[1]
Generally, military personnel replace civil authorities and perform
some or all of their functions. The constitution could be suspended, and
in full-scale martial law, the highest ranking military General would
take over, or be installed, as the military governor or as head of the government, thus removing all power from the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the federal government.[1]
Martial law can be used by governments to enforce their rule over the public. Such incidents may occur after a coup d'état (Thailand 2006); when threatened by popular protest (China, Tiananmen Square protests of 1989); to suppress political opposition (Poland in 1981); to stabilize insurrections or perceived insurrections (Canada, The October Crisis
of 1970). Martial law may be declared in cases of major natural
disasters, however most countries use a different legal construct, such
as a "state of emergency".
Martial law has also been imposed during conflicts and in cases of
occupations, where the absence of any other civil government provides
for an unstable population. Examples of this form of military rule
include post World War II reconstruction in Germany and Japan as well as the southern reconstruction following the U.S. Civil War.
Typically, the imposition of martial law accompanies curfews, the suspension of civil law, civil rights, habeas corpus, and the application or extension of military law or military justice to civilians. Civilians defying martial law may be subjected to military tribunal (court-martial).

The following charts are from Wikipedia. They show where the Islamic Empires have existed in the past. This area is where the Arab Antichrist will establish His Arab Empire. It will be an Islamic Empire of Ten Arab Countries.
As you can see from this last photo, the Islamic Caliphate or Arab/Islamic Empire will be in this general area. The "Mark of the Beast" will be used as a means of identification, to distribute food to the people in this area, during The Great Tribulation Period.
The people who do not worship Allah of the Muslims, will be killed. The Muslims will eventually burn the buildings associated with the Roman Catholic Religious System, within this area.
