2. THE KING OF THE NORTH AND HIS

ARAB/MUSLIM CONFEDERATION* -- (Dan 11:40; Ps 83:3-8) This confederation will be formed by Turkey, which is probably the King of the North, and Arab nations immediately to the north and east of Israel (Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Arabia and others). They will be Muslim peoples.

1. THE WESTERN CONFEDERATION

-- the revived Roman Empire, called the Beast. (Dan 2:40-45; 7:7-27; Rev 13:1-3). This confederation of nations will be formed by ten countries of Western Europe (Italy, Great Britain, France, Spain and others, perhaps some from North America). These countries are nominally Christian (that is, Christians in name only). They outwardly embraced Christianity and partook of its light and privileges, but remain without the knowledge of Jesus Christ as Savior. This group of nations can also be identified (politically) as Babylon.
