Some of the questions I’m most often asked involve the identity of the 10 kings mentioned in the Books of Daniel and Revelation. They’re not necessarily asking for the names or individual identities of the 10 kings, but rather more general aspects of their identities.
Are they tech oligarchs? Prime ministers? Actual kings? Will the world be divided into ten regions, and the 10 kings are U.N.-appointed regional governors? In all likelihood, the world won’t know until the events outlined in Daniel and Revelation play out in real time.
Nevertheless, we can speculate – as long as we realize that’s all it is, speculation. In this article, I’ll provide my thoughts on where these individuals will come from, what kind of people they will likely be (kings, prime ministers, regional governors, tech oligarchs, etc.), and how they will ultimately take power over the earth.
But know this, any speculations I make must be grounded in scripture. We need to first understand what the Bible clearly tells us. Because some things we don’t have to speculate about. We can know them for sure.
For example, one thing we know for sure is the 10 kings will part of a revived Roman Empire…
Daniel paid particular attention to the fourth beast.

Revived Roman Empire
During the reign of King Belshazzar of Babylon, the prophet Daniel had a vision (Daniel 7:1). He saw four beasts – a lion with eagle’s wings, a bear, a four-headed leopard, and a terrifying beast with ten horns. At first, the vision confused Daniel. He didn’t know what to think. Then, an angel explained the vision. He said the four beasts represent four kingdoms (Daniel 7:17). We know from the benefit of hindsight these kingdoms were Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome.Daniel paid particular attention to the fourth beast.
