Your
BIBLE
Before reading Revelation Chapter 13, please read the following reports/ breakdowns: The Four Kingdoms (Daniel chapter 7) and The Fourth Kingdom (2 Esdras chapters 11 and 12).
THE BEAST WITH SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS
Revelation 13:1: “And I" [John] "stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having SEVEN heads" [The rise of the Seven Kings, see 2 Esdras 11:26-30] "and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns," [See Daniel 7:24] "and upon his heads" [Kings/leaders] "the name of blasphemy.”
Revelation 13:2: “And the beast” [The beast with Seven Heads and Ten Horns] “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” [Satan] “gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.” See 2 Esdras 11:29-32 and 2 Esdras 12:22-25.
Revelation Chapter 13
In Revelation 13:3, the seventh
head wounded unto death, is the fulfillment of
2 Esdras 12:28. The BEAST whose deadly wound
was healed is one of the
last two rulers, to rule the earth before Christ
returns, see
2 Esdras 12:29-30.
This mystery is explained in Revelation 17:8.
Revelation 17:8: “The beast
that thou sawest" [In
Revelation 17:3] "was," [All
seven heads/kings are dead, see
Revelation 13:3] "and is not;
and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit,” [See
Revelation 13:3] “and go into
perdition:” [See
Revelation 19:20] “and they that
dwell on the earth shall wonder,” [Synonyms: fascinated,
admire, esteem etc.] “whose names were
not written in the book of life from the foundation of the
world,” [See
Revelation 13:3-4, 8] “when they behold
the BEAST that was," [The beast with seven heads
and ten horns] "and is not," [Because the
eighth head/king/the BEAST whose deadly wound was healed
is ruling] "and yet is.” See
Revelation 17:11.
Revelation 13:3: “And I" [John] "saw one of his heads" [The SEVENTH head/The Eagle's right head] "as it were wounded to death;” [Killed, see 2 Esdras 12:28] “and his deadly wound was healed:” [See Revelation 17:8, 11] “and all the world wondered after the BEAST.” The BEAST whose deadly wound was healed.
Revelation 13:4: “And they worshipped the dragon” [Satan] “which gave power unto the BEAST: and they worshipped the BEAST,” [Whose deadly wound was healed] “saying, Who is like unto the BEAST? who is able to make war with him?”
According to Revelation 13:4
everyone (all nations) that follows/worships the
BEAST whose deadly wound was healed are the children
of Satan.
The children of Satan, both
the unbelieving Jews and Gentiles, cannot
hear and/or follow the words of God and the testimony of Christ,
see
1 John 3:5-13, John 8:13-14, 17-18, 41-45, 47,
59, John 10:24-26, John 12:44, 46-48 and Acts 14:1-5.
Revelation 13:5: “And there was given unto him" [The BEAST whose deadly wound was healed] "a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.” Or 3 ½ years.
Revelation 13:6: “And he” [The BEAST whose deadly wound was healed] “opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.”
Revelation 13:7: “And it was given unto him” [The BEAST whose deadly wound was healed] “to make war with the saints," [The 144,000/Servants of God] "and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.”
Revelation 13:8: “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him,” [The BEAST whose deadly wound was healed, see verse 12] “whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
The Most High has a book, which is called the
Book of Life. Whosoever sins against the Most High,
he blots or erases their names out of his book,
see
Exodus 32:31-33.
John 6:44: “No man
can come to me,"
[Jesus Christ] "except the Father which hath
sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the
last day.”
John 14:6: “Jesus saith unto
him,” [Thomas] “I am the way, the truth, and the
life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
The followers of Christ will be written in the
Lamb’s Book of Life, see
Matthew 10:32-33, Revelation 3:5
and Revelation 21:27.
Revelation 13:9: “If any man have an ear,” [The understanding] “let him hear.”
Revelation 13:10: “He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword." [See Jeremiah 30:16] "Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.” See Mark 8:34-35, John 12:24-26 and 1 Peter 2:20-25.
THE FALSE PROPHET
Revelation 13:11: “And I" [John] "beheld another beast” [The Eighth Contrary Feather, see 2 Esdras 12:29-30] “coming up out of the earth;" [See Daniel 7:24] "and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.”
Revelation 13:12: “And he” [The Eighth Contrary Feather (also known as The Little Horn)] “exerciseth all the power of the first BEAST before him,” [See Revelation 13:5-7 and Daniel 7:25] “and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first BEAST, whose deadly wound was healed.”
Revelation 13:13: “And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,”
Revelation 13:14: “And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the BEAST; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the BEAST, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.”
The beast that had two horns like a lamb (The Eighth Contrary Feather/The Little Horn) is also known as The False Prophet. The BEAST whose deadly wound was healed and The False Prophet shall be cast into the lake of fire by Christ, see Revelation 19:19-20.
Revelation 13:15: “And he had power to give life unto the image of the BEAST, that the image of the BEAST should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the BEAST should be killed.” See Revelation 20:4.
Revelation 13:16: “And he” [The Eight Contrary Feather/The Little Horn/False Prophet] “causeth all," [Those not written in the Book of Life (the children of Satan)] "both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:”
Revelation 13:17: “And that no man might buy or sell, save he” [The worshippers of the BEAST] “that had the mark, or the name of the BEAST, or the number of his name.”
Revelation 13:18: “Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the BEAST: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
