The end times scenario described in Scripture involves a complex interplay of political alliances, wars, and the rise of a powerful global leader known as the Antichrist. One of the most significant political developments during the Tribulation period is the formation of a ten-nation confederacy.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.
Ephesians 2:8 (NIV)
