Saturday, August 9 His power must become mighty.—Dan. 8:24. We can identify the seventh head of the wild beast of Revelation chapter 13 by comparing John’s vision with Daniel’s vision of the frightening ten-horned beast. (Dan. 7:7, 8, 23, 24) The beast that Daniel saw represented the Roman World Power. In the fifth century C.E., the Roman Empire began to fragment. The ten horns sprouting from the head of that fearsome beast represent kingdoms that grew out of that empire. By the mid-18th century, Britain was on its way to become the dominant power on the world scene. Though Britain gained dominance, colonies in North America broke away. By the time the Lord’s day began in 1914, Britain had built the largest empire in history and the United States had become the greatest industrial power on earth. During World War I, the United States forged a special partnership with Britain. The seventh head of the beast had now emerged as the Anglo-American World Power. w12 6/15 2:3-5 Examining the Scriptures—2014
