Beast Out of the Sea 13:1 And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea,. (Rev. 13:1a) Dragon = Satan (Seashore = btn Tel Aviv and Jerusalem) Beast Out of the Sea = the Antichrist (Sea = Gentiles? Mediterranean Sea [Rome, Turkey]? Chaos?) Beast Out of the Land (v.11) = the False Prophet (the Land = Israel?) These Form the False Trinity (a la the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the True Triune God).
The Long Tradition having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. (Rev. 13:1b) 7 Heads & 10 Horns: 7 Worldwide Empires, the Last of Which with 10 Nations/Kings: [Dan 7 Starts from #3] (1) Egypt, (2) Assyria, (3) Neo-Babylonia, (4) Medo-Persia, (5) Greece, (6) Rome, (7) Ottoman, and (8) the Antichrist (both Roman and Ottoman), Ruling over 10 Nations. Blasphemy: Claiming to Be God, but Called by Other Names (e.g. Lucifer/Light-Carrier, Baal/Lord, Moloch/ King, the Source, Brahman etc.).
The Long Tradition 2 And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. (Rev. 13:2) In Daniel 7: Leopard = Greece; Bear = Medo-Persia; Lion = Neo-Babylonia. The Beast Is a System of Satanic Controlled State Power, as Well as a Man Who Embodies the System.
Death & Resurrection 3 I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast; (Rev. 13:3 NAU) It Is Not the Beast that Was Slain, but a Head of It. The 7th Head = Ottoman/Turkish/Islamic-Caliphate: Dead in 1924 after WWI (1914-17), Will Be Resurrected by the Antichrist (cf. 9/11).
Dual Identities The Antichrist Is both Roman and Turkish: and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. 27 "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; " (Dan. 9:26-27 NAU) The People Who Destroyed the Temple = Roman. The Prince Who Is to Come = Roman.
Dual Identities The Antichrist Is both Roman and Turkish: 10 and they are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while. while 11 "The beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth and is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction. (Rev. 17:10-11 NAU) The 5 Before the Time of Jesus: (1) Egypt, (2) Assyria, (3) Neo-Babylonia, (4) Medo-Persia, (5) Greece. The 1 at the Time of Jesus: Rome. The 1 yet to Come: Ottoman. The Little While = Resurrected Ottoman Empire. The 8th Who Is also the 7: Antichrist ( Ottoman/Turkish/ Islamic-Caliphate).
Dual Identities The Antichrist Is both Gentile and Jewish: Among the 13 Illuminati Bloodlines, the Merovingian (from Charlemagne) Has the Davidic Bloodline. It Is Spread among the European Royalties (e.g. the English: William, George etc.) and the Peyseur Family in America. As the False Messiah Sabbatai Zevi (1666) Who Falsely Converted into Islam, There Are Many Crypto-Jews Who Falsely Converted into Other Religions: E.g. Conversos (Portugal) and Murranos (Spain) for Roman Catholicism, Dönmeh (Turkey) for Islam (Perhaps also Saudi Arabian and Jordanian [Heshemite] Kings).
Dual Identities The Antichrist Is both Nominal Christian and Nominal Islamic, but Actually a Luciferian-Satanist: The European Union Boasts of Being from the Christian Tradition. It Is Still Resisting the Membership of Turkey on the Ground of It Being from the Islamic Tradition. Europe Is Being Turned Islamic by Immigration-Conversion. One Day Turkey Will Not Only Join EU, but Also Lead It. The Antichrist ( Little Horn in Dan 7) Will Pluck 3 Horns : Control 3 Islamicized Nations (UK, France, Germany?).
Reign of Terror 4 they worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him? The Antichrist Will Openly Demonstrate the Satanic Power He Received. The People Will Worship the Dragon (Satan) because of the Testimony of the Antichrist. Fear Will Rule over the World: No One Dares to Fight with the Beast (Antichrist and His Roman-Turkish-Islamic Empire).
Abomination 5 There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven. (Rev. 13:56) The True God (Yahweh) Allows 42 Months (3 ½ Years) for the Antichrist to Blaspheme. He Will Say that Lucifer Is the True God, and Desecrate the 3rd Temple by an Idol of His Own Image.
Persecution 7 It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. (Rev. 13:7) The Tribulation Saints (Converted by the 144,000 Hebrew [Jewish and Palestinian] Evangelists after the Rapture of the Church) Will Be Heavily Persecuted. 2/3 Will Be Killed; 1/3 Live into the Millennial Kingdom. It will come about in all the land," Declares the LORD, "That two parts in it will be cut off and perish; But the third will be left in it. (Zech. 13:8 NAU)
Divine Election 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain. (Rev. 13:8) All the People on the Earth Will Worship the Antichrist as the (Luciferian) God, except Those Who Were Elected by God: Name Written on the Book of Life of the Lamb.
Divine Predestination 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 If anyone is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints. (Rev. 13:9-10) Only the Spiritual Believers Can Understand and Accept This Fact: God Has a Special Plan for Each Individual, Even the Elect. Some Are to Suffer More than the Others; but Their Character of Perseverance Will Be Trained Better.
The Beast Out of the Land 11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. (Rev. 13:11) The Land = Israel. To the land which I will show you (Gen. 12:1 NAU) Beast Out of the Land = Israeli Grand Rabbi? Not Likely a Christian Pope. 2 Horns Like the Lamb: Pretending to Be Gentle. Speak Like a Dragon = Actually a Satanic Messenger.
Introducer 12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. (Rev. 13:11-12) The False Prophet Will Acts Like the False Elijah, Who Comes before, and Introduces the False Christ. The False Christ (Corporate and Individual?) Will Have a False Resurrection, a la the True Christ.
Partial Miracles 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. (Rev. 13:13 NAU) The False Elijah (the Jews Still Look after Elijah at Every Passover Dinner) Will Perform 1 of the 2 Signature Miracles of Elijah (Calling Fire and Stopping Rain), While the Real Elijah (as 1 of the 2 Great Witnesses, with Moses) Will Perform 2.
Total Mind Control 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. 15 And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. (Rev. 13:1415) The False Resurrection of the False Christ (or Just His Empire) Will Be the Sign of Deception.
The Sign 16 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six. (Rev. 13:16-18)
666 666 Could Be the Numerical Number of the Name of the Antichrist. 666 Written in Greek Looks Like In the Will of A llah in Arabic. The Star of David = the Seal of Solomon = the Star of Sarphan Has a Hexagon, 6 Triangles, and 6 Sharp Angles. It Was Used by the Pagans to Hex People.
