Revelation 13
1And 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.
2And 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.
3And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4And 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?
11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
v1 is reffering to Rome, v2 speaks about the entire gentile dynasty from the babylonians, medo-perisans, greeks & romans, (notice how the other nations were compared to animals but Rome is compared to a beast) v3- rome fell 9times before, but (their wound will be healed & they will be in power for the 10th & final time..v12) & what religion are the romans responsible for? christianity which everyone will follow, v4-dragon represents satan who will give his power to the roman catholics/beast &, v11 speaks directly about the pope & whoever the emperor or king of Rome will be (horn/the pope/religious leader is also mentioned in Daniel 7 when they had another pope when rome was in power, Daniel 7:8-that had eyes like a man & a mouth speaking great things)...we see it states he spake as the dragon, (because he will speak on behalf of satan doing his will), also read revelations 17 which speaks on the revived roman empire to understand the 7heads & ten crowns
Revelation 17
1And 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 whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4And 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:
5And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6And 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.
7And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8The 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.
9And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10And 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.
11And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12And 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.
13These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14These 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.
15And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. 18And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
v1- we all should know who the great whore is right? that sits upon many waters:None other thatn the Roman catholics,
v2 the nhabitants on earth were made drunk off her wine of fornication which is equal to saying they were made drunk off her false doctrine that christianity brought in under the name of Jesus, the Most High calls us "whores" to those that go whoring after other gods which is what a lot of "scc" do when they are celebrating things such as xmas, easter, sunday worship etc...,
so we see in
v3 John is carried away in his vision to the "wilderness" (place of safety" & he saw a woman sitting on the beast having the 7 heads & ten horns -which were the kings of the roman nations ,
v4 the catholics are known to have some of the finest stones & pearls, having golden cups & what not but we see it says her golden cup is full of "abominations & filthiness" according to the Most High eating unclean foods is an abomination to HIM, worshipping the "sun" is an abomination to him, celebrating pagan holidays/traditons are an abomination among a whole host of other things which the Catholics have said it's ok to do or celebrate according to "their" doctrine not what's written in the scriptures, v5 why would the Most High call them "MYSTERY,BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS & ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH", It's simple just like i've explained earlier it's the false doctrine that's killing people spiritually... but also unk to a lot of ppl the Catholics are at the head when it comes to religion (Mother Whore) & every other religion on this earth stems from them (harlots), because unk to a lot of ppl some form of their doctrine comes from the catholic church (Mother of Harlots), that's why in (revelations 2:6 & 8) the LORD says how much he hates the doctrine of the "nicolaitanes" because the Catholics took on their doctrine & gave it to the world ,(read revelations 2:14:24)
v6, we see the woman has the blood of the saints which we saw in Matthew 24 when they will make war with the saints & win during the tribulation period when they will rule for those 3 1/2 years,
v7-8 speaks of the seven heads & ten crowns once again & then
v9 let's us know where the beast is currently located, v9 here is the mind that has wisdom, the seven heads are seven mountains (what city sits upon seven mountains? vatican city,i can provide the names of each mountain as well) but also
v10 there were seven kings: five have fallen before & one is & the other is not yet come, but when they do come he will rule for a short space/time, skip to
v12 & the ten horns which thou sawest are what? ten kings which have received no kingdom as of yet (because the wound hasn't been fully healed at this point), these were the kings that tried to restore the old Roman empire before but failed, but as I stated earlier when they were in charge they had the mindset of satan/dragon,
v13 so we see when they/the nations under the romes agreement come back into power they will have one mindset again & they will give their power & authority unto the beast/Roman catholics
v14 they/the nations will make war w/the Most High & the saints after the 3 1/2 year when the LORD intervenes (Matthew 24:29-31),
v15 explains water the waters really are that John saw the beast come from, the water is a representation of peoples, all people of nations & tongues,
v16 the ten kings (kingdoms/the nations under the Eu which are ten nations that will make up this Eu (google the treaties of Rome it will give you the name of these ten kingdoms/nations) will turn on the "whore"/roman catholics & make her desolate for as
v17 states the LORD will put it in their hearts to fulfill HIS will but in the meantime they will agree to give their kingdom/authority over unto the beast, until ALL that spoken of in prophecy is fulfilled...
v18 what is this Great City? The Vatican ....
