Hi John and Doves,
When our precious Messiah Jesus returns to save and rule - there will be NO MORE earthly kings. They will lose every bit of power that they once had. It stands to reason that these earthly kings and leaders are gearing up for a huge war against Israel - in an attempt to stop the prophecies from being fulfilled. And even after His glorious return - these evil kings will attempt to make war with our LORD. They will fail miserably, of course.
Why does God question the Israelites' reliance on earthly kings in Hosea 13:10?
Psalm 146 linked below. 146:3 tells us " Put not your trust in princes. In mortal man who cannot save".
At this stage, it's very obvious that sides have formed. The EU, UK, Canada, Australia are one group. Very pro the Ukraine/ Russia war. Very anti Trump's America. Russia and China seem to be sympatico. But the most obvious of all is just how POWERFUL the USA is. South America is subjugated to the USA. So is most of the Middle East. Don't you find it interesting that Canada and Australia and New Zealand still consider Charles 3 to be their monarch? Can you see the pattern? The EU countries have a few existing monarchies - and they are all related to each other.

As another curious aside - It turns out that President Trump is related to king Charles 3rd. Read the Daily Mail link below. Most of the wealthy and powerful are related by blood. An ancient bloodline??
