eyes like the eyes of a man

God uses the imagery of beasts to describe governments (kings/kingdoms) in reference to the succeeding world powers that would come after Nebuchadnezzar as the head of gold representing Babylon.

“The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand on the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.” (Babylon) Daniel 7:4

“a mans heart was given to it” = democracy

“I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.” Daniel 7:8

Antichrist is a spirit (and was already at work in Johns day) and its this spirit which empowers the “little horn” at the time of end where its also given that it can “see” like a man. I conjecture this is referencing being able to monitor its citizens every move.

Its only been within the past few decades, with the widespread availability of new technologies, communication satellites, cell towers, computers and now (Tower of Babel) internet connectivity, smart phones, webcams etc., that individual activities of law abiding free citizens everywhere on the Earth are increasingly being monitored.

We’ve become a surveillance society, our every move, purchase, credit transaction, web page visit, blog postings, opinions, habits and political affiliations along with anything else they want to know about us can be monitored, tracked, indexed and stored away until those in power need it to ‘protect’ us,

Its this information for which those in power will have going forward to use against anyone on the outside of this power structure, having never broken any law, to even consider public service or to seek elected office or promote any voice that fails to hold the politically acceptable ‘safe’ views,

They want us to assume its normal, knowing that any society where its every collective thought is consumed with finding ways to bring themselves more entertainment, joy and self-gratification will eventually shrug and give up their freedom and privacy when that comfort is threatened.

Such a system needs only to have the appropriate kinds of events to be adequately exploited along the way,

This is the spirit of antichrist at work,

Its “the eyes of a man,”

And its this type of spirit that is increasingly rising in power when the end of the age comes and just before Jesus bodily returns to the Earth,

“I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.” Daniel 7:21-22

Ultimately we’re shown in the book of Revelation, there will come Ten kings which have no power until the time of the end,

“The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 

And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.  And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”   Revelation 17:8-14
