The Biblical prophets (Daniel, John the Revelator, etc) used symbols and code words in the foretelling of end-time events. They used symbols and code words as well to describe the nation wherein the events would occur, AND symbols and code words to describe the people within that nation who would fulfill and bring the events to pass.
The nation they described couldn't have been any other nation except America, which Daniel described in chapter 8, verse 9, as that of "a little horns that waxed exceeding great."
In chapter 7, verse 24, he described European Americans as that of "the ten kings out of the fourth kingdom upon the earth", meaning, out of England. And in chapter 8, verse 24, he described European Americans as "the mighty and the holy people", meaning of course, the mighty Christian people.
Notice, if you will, in Revelation 17:12 what the angel said to John about the ten kings upon Babylon the great. In other words, about the European Americans. The angel said,
"the ten kings have received no kingdom as yet, but will receive power as kings one hour with the beast (with the man of lawlessness)."
There are countless other scriptures I could show you, but it's best that you seek them out on your own.
