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, (I’m reminded of hilary and her basement full of FBI files)

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,”
