If the full rise of the Beast occurs in the 2050s (as indicated by the likely timeframe for the tribulation and Armageddon), the 2020s through 2040s could be a critical period of transformation and consolidation. By the late 2020s and early 2030s, we might start to see the early stages of these alliances, economic unification, or responses to global crises. The mid-2030s to early 2040s could mark a period of increasing global cohesion, where power starts to centralize under regional or global authorities. This would align with a gradual, multi-decade rise to prominence for the Antichrist, echoing how historical empires like the Achaemenid gradually unified vast and diverse territories.
