FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH WILL BE REPEATED ON EACH NEW PART;
[Daniel and Ezekiel did not prophesy of the first two heads of the Revelation 13 & 17 seven headed beast,
because the first (Egypt) had already afflicted Israel, and the second (Assyria) had already carried the Northern Kingdom to the east of the Tigris River. Micah and Isaiah wrote some 100 years before Daniel
and they wrote about the Assyrian Invasion because it was both future and present in their days.
None of the four prophets prophesied of the Egyptian Empire bondage because it happened before they were born. The seven heads on the beast represent 8 heads, but the last two are counted as one, because both heads have an Islamic Caliph (King) and are Islamic Caliphates (Kingdoms).]
REVELATION 13:1 – And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
The “beast” at times in Revelation 13 and 17 refers to a person ( Antichrist)
or his kingdom, and sometimes to both.
The kingdom from the sea is the resurrected 7th Islamic kingdom. It will rise up and the one Islam identifies as the Mahdi will lead it. The Mahdi will be one Christians identify as the Antichrist. He will be killed by a weapon of war, but will appear to have been killed by a weapon of war, but will come back to life to be Caliph of the 8th Caliphate.
The “sea” is the Mediterranean Sea, which was, at the time of John’s writings, a vast shoreline under the control of the Roman Empire – It was a Roman Sea. It is from this area that the last evil empire of John’s beast will arise from its southern Islamic countries of today. The beast’s empire will control what was the known world of John’s day.
Revelation 17:11 – And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
The 10 horns are 10 Islamic kings and the 10 crowns symbolize their power, which they will deliver to the Antichrist as their Caliph when he apparently comes back to life, hence the crowns do not appear on the same beast in Revelati
on 17.
Revelation 17:12 – 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.
Daniel 7:20,21 – And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. [21] I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
The beast is Daniel’s willful King of the North who attacks the glorious land of Israel at the time of the end.
Daniel 11:36,40,41 – And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. [40] And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
[41] He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown:
The beast is the Assyrian of Micah, the one from whom Christ will deliver Israel when he returns as the man
who beings in the peace of the Millennium.
Micah 5:5,6 – And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men. [6] And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders. (See Archive Prophecy Updates 62 to 69).
The beast is Paul’s man of sin that will be revealed as the son of perdition before “that day” comes.
II Thessalonians 2:3,4 – Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; [4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of
God, shewing himself that he is God.
The seven heads of the beast are 7 past evil empires of man that have affected and afflicted Israel since God called her out of bondage.
They are the PAST 7 great Empires of the Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Macedonians, Romans, and the 7th Omayyad Empire, which will be the 8th resurrected future empire of the Antichrist, and will dominate all the areas the seventh before it dominated, and it will, like the Omayyad Caliphate, be an Islamic Caliphate.
The ten horns are ten latter day kings whose kingdoms did not exist in John’s day as they will exist in the Eighth Caliphate of Antichrist.
The ten crowns represent their power and authority, which they will eventually turn over to the antichrist.
Revelation 17:12,13 – 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. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast
.
The first six of these empires that represent the seven heads of the beast have been guilty of the sin of worshipping many pagan gods, which is a form of blasphemy again the only true God. The eightth will worship Satan himself through his son.
after the Islamic Mahdi is apparently resurrected from the dead.
Revelation 13:4 – And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
It is rather ironic that all the extremist Islamic clerics and their countries refer to the United States as “the great Satan” and to Israel as “the little Satan.” They are already worshipping him, and soon they will be worshipping him directly through his son, the Antichrist.
