The Next Superpower: Ancient Prophecies, Global Events, and Your Future

A king has a troubling dream about a magnificent image . . .

The head of gold, the chest and arms of silver,
the belly and things of bronze, the legs of iron,
the feet a mixture of iron and clay,
and a huge boulder that smashes the whole thing to pieces!

What does it all mean?

A prophet offers an amazing interpretation . . . in turn, four kingdoms would conquer the world, and in turn, four kingdoms would fall. Never again would the world be ruled by one power, through many would try. . .until the very end of time.

There will be wars, the prophet declared. Crime, lawlessness, immorality, disasters of every description.

Then a superpower of unimaginable strength and influence will brighten our planet like a star bursting in the heavens, the prophet predicted, and it will last forever.

A dreaming king. An ancient prophecy, spanning 2,500 years, fulfilled in every particular-almost. Only the last event is yet to happen.

And you are sitting on the front row of the universe.
