G8 and the Ten Kings of Bible prophecy

In 2005 the ten most powerful nations on the planet, including the two new rising powers of China and India, met for the first time in history at the G8 summit in Scotland, UK. Millions of people around the world believe that the Bible contains specific signs that will warn believers when the End Times are near. It is difficult to imagine an event that could fulfil the prophecy of the Ten Kings from the Book of Revelation better than the meeting at Gleneagles this year.

"You may not believe in god or prophecy, but among the leaders of nations there are those who do." (T. Acheson, 1999)

received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour
with the beast." (Revelation 17:12)

out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his
horns ten crowns" (Rev 13:1)
