The author really doesn't prove his case in this chapter. Just because Japan has been politically Westernized, it still was never on the Mediterranean and was also never part of the Roman Empire.
I believe Rome, as in Roman Catholicism, especially the pope, will play apart in the emergence of the government of Revelation 13. However, I believe the ten kingdoms are ten world regions, each ruled by their respective leader. The antichrist will come to global dominance and take power, ruling over all ten regional leaders. The beast will then orchestrate the merger of three regions into others, thus leaving seven.
In order for the antichrist to rule the world, you first have to condition people for a global dictatorship by getting rid of sovereign nations and dissolving borders. What had we been hearing about for years before Trump's second term? How bad and unnecessary borders are. What have we been hearing about and reacting to since before Trump was appointed to office a second time? Countries joining with other countries, namely Canada becoming the fifty-first U.S. state and the States annexing Greenland. We've even heard about making all of North America, including Mexico and Central America, into one country.
Also, Allinson seems to be unqualifiedly saying Donald Trump is the antichrist. From the standpoint of interpreting the Bible, this is dangerous. Don't choose a candidate for the man of sin, just like you wouldn't set a date for Jesus Christ's return.
As well, how the heck can this guy interpret Daniel 2 44 to be foretelling the kingdom of the antichrist when it is clearly talking about Christ's rule over and subduing of the world after He returns?
