The Image of The Beast

In the Revelation 13 beast, which I am talking about the first beast, there is the physical side of things, such as kings, leaders and so forth:


myimgs

Then there is the dragon beast of Revelation 12, which speaks of the spiritual side of things (which I also used AI for that image):


myimgs.org

Rev 12:3
(3) And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

Notice that in Revelation 12, it is the heads that have crowns, but in Revelation 13, it is the horns that have crowns.

And concerning this dragon, it is the dragon heads that have crowns, which Satan is one of them.

Who normally have crowns ?

It is kings and princes right ?

Well what does the word say about Satan ?

Eph 2:2
(2) Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Satan is the prince and power of the air, which he shall possess the Antichrist at some point.

But are there other evil spirits that are known as princes ?

Yes.

Dan 10:20-21
(20) Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.
(21) But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.


This was speaking of this angel, along with Michael the archangel, fighting with these spirits, who had a strong hold in certain areas, which were here called the prince of Persia, and the prince of Grecia.

And it is no coincidence that they are called princes, and they point to some of the heads on the dragon, so one dragon head is Satan, which is called a prince, and another is this prince of Persia, and the other is the prince of Grecia.

This is the spiritual side of things, and these princes shall either possess (Satan possess the Antichrist), or control in some form the physical leaders of Persia (modern day Iran), and Greece, and of course the other 4 also refer to evil spirits who have a strong hold in certain nations..

Now will the Antichrist arise as a leader of a certain nation, at some point, and become this 8th king refered to in Revelation 17 ? Hmmm.
 
I've also said that in Revelation 17 John is taken into a desert wilderness to view the harlot's Judgment. Mecca and Medina reside in the deserts of Saudi Arabia. I've also said that Babylon the Great literally interpreted signifies A LARGE FALSE RELIGION. The only religion that fits all of this is Islam.
Hi farmerjoe, does Islam have a queen of heaven ?
 
2 non-descript beasts

Dan 7:7
(7) After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
Rev 13:11
(11) And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.


Non-descript beasts = Rome.

Daniel 7:7 = Roman empire.

Revelation 13:11 = Rev 19:20 (20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast...).

False prophet = religious leader.

False prophet which is a religious leader = leader of Roman Catholicism.

False prophet leader has 2 horns, which points to 2 strong holds, which is a city (Rome) and a religion (Roman Catholicism).

The prostitute of Revelation is what ?

She is one that is a city and that spreads her sorceries:

Rev 17:18
(18) And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Rev 18:23
(23) And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.


She is world wide:

Rev 17:1
(1) And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great ***** that sitteth upon many waters:

Roman Catholicism sits upon many waters.

The prostitute of Revelation, is a city, and one that spreads here sorceries, doctrines, whom the nations have drunk of the wine of her fornication.

Rev 18:3
(3) For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

Her colors are scarlet and purple:

Rev 17:4
(4) And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

She is called mystery Babylon the great, now if this was referring to modern day Babylon (Iraq), there would not be much of a mystery to her, but this prostitute, has something to do with Babylon, and in truth the former Babylon religion, in many ways, is virtually identical:

Ancient Babylonian religion

- Semiramis is called
the "Queen of Heaven".
-Semiramis designed
the confessional.
-They had priests.
-Semiramis claims she was still a virgin, after
giving birth to Tammuz.
-They had statues of
Semiramis holding
the little sun God,
appearing all over.
Roman Catholic church

- Mary is called the "Queen of
Heaven
".
-It has a confessional.
-They have priests.
-Mary is a virgin, even
after giving birth to
Christ, and throughout
her whole life.
-They have statues of
Mary holding what
they say is Jesus,
in her arms.


Rev 18:7
(7) How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

And in truth Roman Catholicism owns a lot more than what we think, we would be surprised if we knew all the bussineses that it owns.

Rev 17:6
(6) And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

She as killed millions of Christians throughout her history, through her inquisitions, and even were on Hitler's side at the beginning of world war 2.

She is the one leading the one world religion.
 
For some reason on TJ, it will not allow the words that start with w, that means prostitute, so if you see that word whor... in this form ****, that is why.
 
Here is a bit of info. on something I wrote, on the 7 hills of Rome:

(My study)

(...So were is the woman seated?

Rev 17:9
(9) And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman
sitteth.


Here is he Greek definition of the word mountain here:


(Strong’s concordance)

(G3735
ὄ ρος
oros
or'-os
Probably a from an obsolete word ὄ ρω orō (to rise or “rear”; perhaps akin to G142; compare G3733); a mountain (as
lifting itself above the plain): - hill, mount (-ain).
Total KJV occurrences: 65)



So in the Greek, this word mountain, can also mean a type of mount or hill that is lifted above a plain.


And the word mountain in the bible, does not always refer to some big mountain, say like mount Ararat.

And also, the word hill and mountain can be interchangeable, at times, in the bible, and here is an example of this:

Luk 9:28
(28) And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up
into a mountain to pray.

Luk 9:37
(37) And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.


When they went up to pray, it called it a mountain, but when they went down from it, it called it an hill, so in
some cases, a mountain and a hill can refer to the same thing.

And it is well known that Rome was founded upon 7 hills, and of course the main head quarters today of Roman
Catholicism is the Vatican, but the thing we have to remember is this, that the Vatican city is a city within a city, and
a state within a state.

And in truth, Roman Catholicism, is truly seated within all of these 7 hills, now the Vatican may not be in these hills
but is a city that is within the city which was originally established on 7 hills, and this religion with all it's
organizations such as the Franciscans, Jesuits, and so on, are all truly established within these seven hills....)
 
3 sevens

Rev 13:1
(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.


Rev 17:9
(9) And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

In these 2 verses, it equates the 7 heads as something the first beast of Revelation 13, "has", and then in chapter 17, it also equates the seven heads as something the woman is "seated on".

Two different subjects, one pertaining to the beast, "having", and one pertaining to the woman, "being seated on".

Then we get into verse 10:

Rev 17:10-11
(10) 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.
(11) And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

When it starts verse 10, it does not say that, and the seven heads are also these, but rather it starts a new phrase, and says and there are 7 kings.

The seven kings here, are not pertaining to the woman being "seated on something", nor to the first beast "having" 7 heads yet being one of the heads, but rather it says something different, that the beast is the "8th king", and he is "of", "of", "of", these 7 kings, yet never associating him as being one of these 7 kings, we have to leave scripture say what it says and in it's own context.

The beast does not "have" these kings as being part of his 7 heads, but rather he is "of" these particular kings, yet being none of them, for he is the 8th king.

Have means "have", and of means "of", just like the 7th king is the 7th king, and the 8th king is the 8th king.

So in one fashion or another, he is "of" all these 7 kings, yet not being one of these 7 kings, for he is the 8th king.

I could not careless what prophetic tradition says, we must go by the bible., and not change any words.

So in saying that, here is an image:


myimgs

Rev 13:2
(2) And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

What or whom, do the four feet of a bear point to ?

Would love to see at least someone mention it, it would be nice to discuss it.
