In the books of Daniel and Revelation is mentioned a beast with 10 horns.

The 10 horns are identified as 10 kings. These kings would be over 10 countries or nations. Who are these kings or nations?

In Psalm 83 is given a list of 10 nations let’s look at the scripture.

Psa 83:1  A Song. A Psalm of Asaph. Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God!

Psa 83:2  For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head.

Psa 83:3  They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.

Psa 83:4  They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

Psa 83:5  For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You:

Psa 83:6  The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites;

Psa 83:7  Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

Psa 83:8  Assyria also has joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. Selah

Psa 83:9  Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera, As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,

Psa 83:10  Who perished at En Dor, Who became as refuse on the earth.

Psa 83:11  Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

Psa 83:12  Who said, “Let us take for ourselves The pastures of God for a possession.”

Psa 83:13  O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like the chaff before the wind!

Psa 83:14  As the fire burns the woods, And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,

Psa 83:15  So pursue them with Your tempest, And frighten them with Your storm.

Psa 83:16  Fill their faces with shame, That they may seek Your name, O LORD.

Psa 83:17  Let them be confounded and dismayed forever; Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,

Psa 83:18  That they may know that You, whose name alone is the LORD, Are the Most High over all the earth.

Below is the list of the nations mentioned in Psalm 83.

Edom

Ishmaelites

Moab

Hagrites

Gebal

Ammon

Amalek

Philistines

Tyre

Assur {Assyria} who helped the children of Lot.

Let’s look at these nations individually.

EDOM

Edom is Esau, the brother of Jacob.

Gen 36:1  Now this is the genealogy of Esau, who is Edom.

Edom is possibly Turkey.

Gen 36:8  So Esau dwelt in Mount Seir. Esau is Edom.

Gen 36:9  And this is the genealogy of Esau the father of the Edomites in Mount Seir.

This next verse says that Edom wanted to destroy, make desolate, or make bare the city of Jerusalem.

Psa 137:7  Remember, O LORD, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, “Raze it, raze it, To its very foundation!”

Edom was responsible for vengeance against Judah.

Eze 25:12  ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Because of what Edom did against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended by avenging itself on them,”

Edom was violent against Judah.

Joe 3:19  “Egypt shall be a desolation, And Edom a desolate wilderness, Because of violence against the people of Judah, For they have shed innocent blood in their land.

Israel was sent as captives to Edom, and Edom did not remember they were brothers.

Amo 1:9  Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, Because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, And did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.

Edom never put aside his wrath for Israel.

Amo 1:11  Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, Because he pursued his brother with the sword, And cast off all pity; His anger tore perpetually, And he kept his wrath forever.

Edom was violent to Jacob.

Oba 1:10  “For violence against your brother Jacob, Shame shall cover you, And you shall be cut off forever.

Edom joined in against the captives of Jerusalem.

Oba 1:11  In the day that you stood on the other side In the day that strangers carried captive his forces, When foreigners entered his gates And cast lots for Jerusalem Even you were as one of them.

This scripture refers to the time of Israel’s captivity.

Eze 35:5  “Because you have had an ancient hatred, and have shed the blood of the children of Israel by the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, when their iniquity came to an end,

Edom rejoiced over the destruction of Judah and was proud of their distress.

Oba 1:12  “But you should not have gazed on the day of your brother In the day of his captivity; Nor should you have rejoiced over the children of Judah In the day of their destruction; Nor should you have spoken proudly In the day of distress.

Edom stole from Judah in their day of calamity.

Oba 1:13  You should not have entered the gate of My people In the day of their calamity. Indeed, you should not have gazed on their affliction In the day of their calamity, Nor laid hands on their substance In the day of their calamity.

Edom stopped those who were escaping, and gave up to the enemy others who remained of Judah.

Oba 1:14  You should not have stood at the crossroads To cut off those among them who escaped; Nor should you have delivered up those among them who remained In the day of distress.

Edom will reap what he has sown, he will be treated as he has treated others.

Oba 1:15  “For the day of the LORD upon all the nations is near; As you have done, it shall be done to you; Your reprisal shall return upon your own head.

ISHMAELITES

The Ishmaelites are Saudi Arabia.

These are the descendants of Abraham through the bond woman, Hagar.

Gen 17:20  And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

Gen 25:12  Now this is the genealogy of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham.

Gen 25:13  And these were the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: The firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

Gen 25:14  Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

Gen 25:15  Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

Gen 25:16  These were the sons of Ishmael and these were their names, by their towns and their settlements, twelve princes according to their nations.

The following verse shows that Esau intermarries with Ishmael.

Gen 28:9  So Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife in addition to the wives he had.

These are the chiefs / dukes, which are Ishmael’s descendants.

Gen 36:17  These were the sons of Reuel, Esau’s son: Chief Nahath, Chief Zerah, Chief Shammah, and Chief Mizzah. These were the chiefs of Reuel in the land of Edom. These were the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife.

Notice how Ishmael is against everyone.

Gen 16:12  He shall be a wild man; His hand shall be against every man, And every man’s hand against him. And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.”

The Ishmaelites bought Joseph.

Gen 37:28  Then Midianite traders passed by; so the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt.

Exo 3:1  Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

The Midianites {Ishmaelites} lived in Saudi Arabia.

Ishmael became an archer.

Gen 21:20  So God was with the lad; and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.

Gen 21:21  He dwelt in the Wilderness of Paran; and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.

The next verse refers to Ishmael and Isaac, just as Ishmael persecuted Isaac when he was a young man, so it is still happening today.

Gal 4:29  But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.

MOAB

This nation is started by an act of incest and the people are therefore interbred. Modern day Jordan.

Gen 19:36  Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.

Gen 19:37  The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.

Look at the type of people they are.

Num 21:29  Woe to you, Moab! You have perished, O people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, And his daughters into captivity, To Sihon king of the Amorites.

The end will not be nice for Moab.

Isa 25:10  For on this mountain the hand of the LORD will rest, And Moab shall be trampled down under Him, As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.

This could be one of the horns, which is uprooted by the little horn.

Jer 48:43  Fear and the pit and the snare shall be upon you, O inhabitant of Moab,” says the LORD.

They will reap what they sow.

Eze 25:8  ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Because Moab and Seir say, ‘Look! The house of Judah is like all the nations,’

Eze 25:9  therefore, behold, I will clear the territory of Moab of cities, of the cities on its frontier, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kirjathaim.

Eze 25:10  To the men of the East I will give it as a possession, together with the Ammonites, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.

Eze 25:11  And I will execute judgments upon Moab, and they shall know that I am the LORD.”

Zep 2:8  “I have heard the reproach of Moab, And the insults of the people of Ammon, With which they have reproached My people, And made arrogant threats against their borders.

Zep 2:9  Therefore, as I live,” Says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, “Surely Moab shall be like Sodom, And the people of Ammon like Gomorrah Overrun with weeds and saltpits, And a perpetual desolation. The residue of My people shall plunder them, And the remnant of My people shall possess them.”

HAGRITES OR HAGARENES

Possibly the descendants of Hagar, they dwelt in the East land of Gilead possibly Iraq.

Very little is said about them in the bible, but if they were the descendants of Hagar, they would be trouble to Israel now as they were when she was with Sarah and Abraham.

1Ch 5:10  Now in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand; and they dwelt in their tents throughout the entire area east of Gilead.

1Ch 5:20  And they were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them, for they cried out to God in the battle. He heeded their prayer, because they put their trust in Him.

GEBAL

1Ki 5:18  So Solomon’s builders, Hiram’s builders, and the Gebalites quarried them; and they prepared timber and stones to build the temple.

The people of Gebal were in Tyrus. Could be Hezbollah.

Eze 27:9  Elders of Gebal and its wise men Were in you to caulk your seams; All the ships of the sea And their oarsmen were in you To market your merchandise.

Very little is said about them in the Bible, so our resources are limited.

It is in modern day Lebanon, Jubayl {Byblos} Gebal was a sea port in Phoenicia. The people of Gebal were ship builders.

AMMON

This nation is the brother to Moab, started by an incest act, this nation is of the younger daughter of Lot, these people are interbred.

These people are Jordanians.

Gen 19:38  And the younger, she also bore a son and called his name Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the people of Ammon to this day.

Look at the reasons why Ammon went to war against Israel.

Jdg 11:12  Now Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the people of Ammon, saying, “What do you have against me, that you have come to fight against me in my land?”

Jdg 11:13  And the king of the people of Ammon answered the messengers of Jephthah, “Because Israel took away my land when they came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok, and to the Jordan. Now therefore, restore those lands peaceably.”

David had trouble with these people.

2Sa 10:6  When the people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves repulsive to David, the people of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth Rehob and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand foot soldiers; and from the king of Maacah one thousand men, and from Ish-Tob twelve thousand men.

This interbred nation are a cruel people.

Amo 1:13  Thus says the LORD: “For three transgressions of the people of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, Because they ripped open the women with child in Gilead, That they might enlarge their territory.

God will repay them for their actions.

Zep 2:9  Therefore, as I live,” Says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, “Surely Moab shall be like Sodom, And the people of Ammon like Gomorrah Overrun with weeds and saltpits, And a perpetual desolation. The residue of My people shall plunder them, And the remnant of My people shall possess them.”

AMALEK

This scripture shows that Amalek is related to Edom. Could be modern day Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) or Hamas.

Gen 36:12  Now Timna was the concubine of Eliphaz, Esau’s son, and she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These were the sons of Adah, Esau’s wife.

The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

Exo 17:14  Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.”

Exo 17:15  And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-LORD-Is-My-Banner;

Exo 17:16  for he said, “Because the LORD has sworn: the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”

Look what they did to Israel.

Deu 25:17  “Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you were coming out of Egypt,

Deu 25:18  how he met you on the way and attacked your rear ranks, all the stragglers at your rear, when you were tired and weary; and he did not fear God.

Deu 25:19  Therefore it shall be, when the LORD your God has given you rest from your enemies all around, in the land which the LORD your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance, that you will blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. You shall not forget.

PHILISTINES

Notice how destructive they are. Modern day Palestine.

Gen 26:15  Now the Philistines had stopped up all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and they had filled them with earth.

These people have been at war with Israel for a long time.

1Sa 7:7  Now when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel had gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard of it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

God was not pleased with them.

1Sa 7:13  So the Philistines were subdued, and they did not come anymore into the territory of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

They have the old hatred.

Eze 25:15  ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Because the Philistines dealt vengefully and took vengeance with a spiteful heart, to destroy because of the old hatred,”

TYRE

Tyre is a harlot. Modern day Lebanon.

Isa 23:15  Now it shall come to pass in that day that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. At the end of seventy years it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:

Isa 23:17  And it shall be, at the end of seventy years, that the LORD will deal with Tyre. She will return to her hire, and commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.

They sold the children of Judah to the Greeks.

Joe 3:4  “Indeed, what have you to do with Me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Philistia? Will you retaliate against Me? But if you retaliate against Me, Swiftly and speedily I will return your retaliation upon your own head;

Joe 3:5  Because you have taken My silver and My gold, And have carried into your temples My prized possessions.

Joe 3:6  Also the people of Judah and the people of Jerusalem You have sold to the Greeks, That you may remove them far from their borders.

Joe 3:7  “Behold, I will raise them Out of the place to which you have sold them, And will return your retaliation upon your own head.

Joe 3:8  I will sell your sons and your daughters Into the hand of the people of Judah, And they will sell them to the Sabeans, To a people far off; For the LORD has spoken.”

God is against her.

Eze 26:2  “Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, ‘Aha! She is broken who was the gateway of the peoples; now she is turned over to me; I shall be filled; she is laid waste.’

Eze 26:3  “Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up.

Eze 26:4  And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.

ASSUR

It would appear that Assur and Asshur are the same. These people are white and the descendants of Shem. Today modern Iraq.

Gen 10:22  The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.

Notice the following scriptures it shows that the Assyrians oppressed the Israelites in Egypt.

Isa 10:24  Therefore thus says the Lord GOD of hosts: “O My people, who dwell in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrian. He shall strike you with a rod and lift up his staff against you, in the manner of Egypt.

Isa 52:4  For thus says the Lord GOD: “My people went down at first Into Egypt to dwell there; Then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.

1Sa 10:18  and said to the children of Israel, “Thus says the LORD God of Israel: ‘I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all kingdoms and from those who oppressed you.’

As we have shown in our article ‘The Great Whore’, Jerusalem is where the whore sits.

Let’s look at the many names Jerusalem is called in the end times, and the obvious facts that the 10 nations have taken her over, and that she no longer has the ways of God being obeyed in her.

Isa 51:17  Awake, awake! Stand up, O Jerusalem, You who have drunk at the hand of the LORD The cup of His fury; You have drunk the dregs of the cup of trembling, And drained it out.

Isa 51:18  There is no one to guide her Among all the sons she has brought forth; Nor is there any who takes her by the hand Among all the sons she has brought up.

Remember that Jerusalem is drunk with the blood of the saints.

Rev 17:6  I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.

Isa 51:21  Therefore please hear this, you afflicted, And drunk but not with wine.

Worship of the beast.

Isa 51:23  But I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, Who have said to you, ‘Lie down, that we may walk over you.’ And you have laid your body like the ground, And as the street, for those who walk over.”

Notice that Jerusalem is not the home to the circumcised Israelites.

Isa 52:1  Awake, awake! Put on your strength, O Zion; Put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city! For the uncircumcised and the unclean Shall no longer come to you.

Jerusalem is called the Daughter of Zion, and is captive, she is run over by the Uncircumcised Arabs.

Isa 52:2  Shake yourself from the dust, arise; Sit down, O Jerusalem! Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion!

Jerusalem will be cleansed.

Isa 4:4  When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning,
