The first Beast empire will arise out of the sea. Rev 13. The sea is the people and nations out of which the empire will arise. In Daniel the empire out of troubled sea represents nations in chaos enabling a new empire to arise. So the coming out of sea hints at coming out of chaos, because sea tends to be chaotic. As time progresses towards this empire emerging we might expect growing chaos of nations and peoples near where the empire will emerge. This is all after the opening of the seventh seal, but even before the earlier opening of the sixth seal there could be some indication of this chaos beginning, since such geopolitical events take time to unfold. Of course the sixth seal opening will bring very great chaos in itself. Yet the Beast emergence chaos might be more local to the vicinity of the origin of this Beast. The likening of it to the empires in Daniel implies a Middle East, Near East, Balkans regional vicinity. So if we watch that region location for signs of growing chaos it might give early warning signs. Of course this region has been in turmoil already since the end of WW2, but the chaos might peak as the Beast is about to emerge. Such a peak of chaos there might indicate the nearness of the sixth seal too, as many revelations and teachings of Jesus indicate. Perhaps the chaos will emerge from a wider, more global chaos. It might be more than war. It might be a breakdown of stability of the fabric of civilisation. It might be technical, like a huge dot com crash. Perhaps AI will contribute to it, perhaps a couple of decades from now (writing this in 2025). It all happens against a background of apparent peace and safety. So on the whole things might have been going well for most people for a couple of decades, then chaos begins subtly without triggering any great alarm, as the illusion of peace continues, even while the early warning chaos begins. Then the sixth seal cataclysmic disasters hit very suddenly. Absolute panic globally ensues. But still in the background there is this insidious chaos in the Middle East, Near East, Balkans region. Out of it, in the aftermath of the sixth and seventh seal disasters, the Beast emerges.
