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. (Revelation 13:1) The Seven Headed Beast that rises up out of the sea (peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues-revelation 17:15) having ten horns (ten kings-revelation 17:12) is the One World Political System, a.k.a. The New World Order. The seven heads are seven mountains (Revelation 17:9) as in the seven continents of the planet Earth. This Global Political System will not come into being until The Woe of The Fifth Trumpet when Satan and his angels are cast from heaven and into the earth: And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. and the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Revelation 12:7-9) Revelation 13:1 should actually be translated And the dragon stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rise up out of the sea... This gives us the time frame. Letting us know that The New World Order will not emerge until Satan and his angels are cast out of heaven. This begins the Five Month Long Hour of Temptation and is The First Woe of The Three Woe Trumpets written of in Revelation Chapter 8:13. The Woe of The Fifth Trumpet is when Satan and his angels are cast to Earth. The Woe of The Sixth Trumpet is when Satan appears as Antichrist. The Woe of The Seventh Trumpet is when The True Christ returns.
At the beginning of The Five Months, Satan shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (Daniel 9:27) This is speaking of a Seven Year Long Week of Years but as we know from Revelation 9: the Seven Years have been shortened to Five Months: The Gnawer, Swarmer, Devourer and Consumer are The Four Stages of The Locust Army written of in Revelation 9 and The Book of Joel. These four stages do not begin until The Woe of The Fifth Trumpet becausethe Locust Army are Satan's Fallen Angels who are not cast to earth until The Woe of The Fifth Trumpet. As we know from Revelation 9:4 they are only allowed to hurt those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads because they are an army of deception. It's also written in Revelation 9 that the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. These are not literally wings, but rather the vehicles these evil angels travel in. (See also Isaiah 6:26-30) This may very well be why this One World Political System comes into being so quickly at the beginning of The Hour of Temptation. An 'off-world threat' that forces the nations of the world to come together and set aside their differences. Instant Global Government. The ten horns symbolize The Ten Fallen Angel Kings also written of in Daniel 7 that will begin to reign at the beginning of The Hour of Temptation. (See Revelation 17:12)
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. (Revelation 13:2) The Leopard, Bear and Lion are the same Leopard, Bear and Lion written of in Daniel chapter 7. All Four Beasts written of in Daniel chapter 7 make up this One World Political System. Four is the number of Earth. The Lion is symbolic of The Christian Nations: The King of The South of Daniel 11. The Bear is symbolic of The Non-Christian Nations. The King of The North of Daniel 11. The Leopard is symbolic of The Infrastructure of The One World Political System: The Kenites and their Four Hidden Dynasties: Education, Economics, Politics and Religion. The missing ingredient is the supernatural element of the Dragon and his Fallen Angels which are symbolized by The Fourth Beast of Daniel chapter 7. The Dragon (Satan) has to be on Earth before he can give The One World Political System his power, and his seat, and great authority. And 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. (Revelation 13:3) A One World Political System cannot exist without each and every nation being a part of it. Otherwise, it s no longer a One World Political System. This Deadly Wound will happen at the end of the first half of The Five Month Long Hour of Temptation which is split into Two 2 ½ Month Segments.
This is why it says in Daniel 9:27: In the midst of the week he (Satan) shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. In other words, Satan will appear in Jerusalem as Antichrist in the middle of The Five Months. This is what Christ was referring to when He said: When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains. (Matthew 24:15) The Deadly Wound is healed when Satan appears as the False Christ This is when The One World Political System becomes a One World Religious System. If everyone thinks Christ has returned, they ll forget all about National Sovereignty and do whatever he says. A lot of people know about the New World Order, but what a lot of people DO NOT know is that Satan will appear pretending to be Jesus Christ. But he won t be able to deceive God s Elect: They have the Seal of God in their foreheads. And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? (Revelation 13:4) How can you make war if there is no one to make war with? With all the nations of the earth becoming one government, everyone will think world peace has been accomplished. When in reality, this will be the largest mass slaughter of souls of all time. Who is able to make war with him? Those who know he is a fake. This is where the spiritual war goes into DEFCON 1.
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. (Revelation 13:5) We learned in the 9 th chapter of Revelation that Satan's Tribulation was shortened to Five Months. Christ explained that God has shortened the days of Satan s Tribulation in Mark 13:20. Satan will appear as Antichrist (which, in the Greek tongue means instead of Christ) in the middle of The Five Months. Again, this is documented in Daniel 9:27. So then this forty and two months has been shortened to 2 ½ Months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. (Revelation 13:6) It does not get any more blasphemous than Satan claiming to be Jesus. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. (Revelation 13:7) Why does he want to make war with the saints? Because they know who he really is. The saints that he will overcome are The Two Witnesses written of in Revelation 11 but it will only last three days and an half. This doesn't happen until the end of The Hour of Temptation just before The True Christ returns at The Woe of The Seventh Trumpet.
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Revelation 13:8) The names of God's Elect are written in The Book of Life of the Lamb Slain from The Foundation of the World because when Satan rebelled in The First World Age, they made a stand and fought against him. if any man have an ear, let him hear. (Revelation 13:9) he that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. (Revelation 13:10) The saints are God s Elect, It is their destiny to be delivered up to Antichrist or to The Synagogue of Satan where The Holy Spirit will speak through them. Jesus told us about this in detail in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. 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. (Revelation 13:11) This is the False Christ. Satan himself. Looking and acting like Jesus. Saying he is Jesus. But he spake as a dragon. That's because he IS the dragon. Satan's appearance as Antichrist in Jerusalem takes place at The Sixth Trumpet, the Second Woe of The Three Woe Trumpets. The Third Woe Trumpet is The Seventh Trumpet when The True Christ returns to rule with a rod of iron as KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS The two horns like a lamb Satan has in The Sixth Trumpet are yet another one of his attempts at copying God. They symbolize a theocracy. The political and the religious. This is when it becomes a One World Religious System.
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. (Revelation 13:12) This is when he openly takes over as the One World Dictator. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. (Revelation 13:13) This is why the whole world will whore after Satan at this time. Satan is a supernatural entity. He will be able to perform various signs and lying wonders as Paul warned us of in 2 nd Thessalonians 2. 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. (Revelation 13:14) Here, we get another clue as to what The Deadly Wound is. It is by a sword which usually denotes war. A war would be the death of a One World Political System. 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. (Revelation 13:15) That word life is pneuma in the Greek and it means spirit. But we aren't talking about God's Holy Spirit, but Satan's evil spirit. For every positive there is a negative, and Satan always tries to counterfeit God's perfect pattern.
So within this chapter, you have all three of the roles Satan plays during The Hour of Temptation. You can read of this unholy trinity in Revelation 16:13 also. The Dragon, which is his imitation of God the Father, The False Prophet, which is his imitation of God the Son and The Beast, which is his imitation of God's Holy Spirit. So, Satan's evil spirit in the minds of the masses is the antithesis of God's Holy Spirit in the minds of The Elect. For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. (Romans 8:29) That word image in Romans 8:29 is #1504 in your Strong's Greek Dictionary and is the same word as this image in Revelation 13, only instead of The Son of God, we are talking about The Son of Perdition. Killed means delivered up to The Synagogue of Satan or all the way up to Death himself. Death is one of Satan s names. He can t pass himself off as Jesus if he s killing people. Satan causes a spiritual death to those who worship him instead of Almighty God. The image of the beast is the image of Satan as Antichrist which will be transmitted throughout the world when he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. (2 Thessalonians 2:3) And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. (Revelation 13:16) This is the Mark of the Beast. The opposite of the Seal of God. Both go in the forehead. What s in your forehead? Your mind.
So if the Seal of God is the foreknowledge that Satan will appear as the False Christ before the True Christ returns, then the Mark of the Beast is taken by those with the lack of that foreknowledge. The best way to understand in their right hand, which is a figure of speech for doing Satan s work by bringing others to him and participating in his system, comes with understanding what the True Christ meant when He said: and woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! (Matthew 24:19) Christ expects a virgin bride when He returns (spiritually speaking). Once a Christian worships Satan, they are no longer a virgin, but are spiritually impregnated with The Mark of the Beast and nurse along Satan s church because they think he is Christ. This is how they cease the Virgin Bride of Christ and become The Whore of Babylon. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. (Revelation 13:17) You will not be able to receive The One World System s money without worshiping the False Christ. This is another reason so many people will be deceived. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many. (Daniel 8:25) Unless you have the Seal of God in your forehead beforehand, when this supernatural entity appears, performing miracles, ending homelessness and starvation with his one world communism, who would ever guess it was the devil?
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Matthew 16:26) This is why Satan's Tribulation is called The Hour of Temptation. It will be tempting to everyone on the face of the earth except for the Sealed of God. Once you learn Antichrist arrives before the Real Christ, you have escaped The Hour of Temptation. It is no longer tempting when you know that the first Christ that appears is not Christ at all, but Satan himself. 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. (Revelation 13:18) When you read The Book of Revelation in its entirety, you will find Seven Seals, Seven Trumpets and Seven Vials: The Sixth Seal: Satan appears as Antichrist The Sixth Trumpet: Satan appears as Antichrist The Sixth Vial: Satan appears as Antichrist The word count as it is used here means to use pebbles in enumeration, a pebble (as worn smooth by handling)-stone. The man written of in this last verse is Satan: the man of sin. Called the king of Tyrus in Ezekiel 28. Tyrus means rock: the false rock. Stones come from a larger rock. The stones are The Kenites who are the offspring of Cain, the son of Satan. Ever heard the expression chip off the old block?
There are two family trees and you are part of one family tree or the other. The natural branches of Satan's Family Tree are the Kenites and those grafted in are those who also reject The True Christ whether it be now or when Satan appears in Jerusalem as Antichrist. The natural branches of God's Family Tree are The Twelve Lost Tribes of Israel but only if they are Christian. Those grafted in are those who believe that Jesus Christ is The Son of God. Christians who are deceived into worshiping Satan when he appears as Antichrist cease to be The Virgin Bride of Christ and become The Whore of Babylon. When a Christian worships the devil they are no longer a Christian; they are a devil worshiper. When God's Elect are delivered up for refusing to worship Satan and The Holy Spirit speaks through them many will come out of the confusion (which is what Babylon means) repenting for allowing themselves to be deceived, and will be grafted back on to God's Family Tree. They can then take part in The First Resurrection when The True Christ returns at The Seventh Trumpet when all are changed into spiritual bodies. This is when Satan's role of Antichrist and his One World System are destroyed and Satan himself is locked up in The Bottomless Pit. Whoever does not take part in The First Resurrection will have to wait until The Thousand Years are finished when Satan is released and whoever follows Satan at that time follows him into The Lake of Fire where they will be blotted out of existence: The Second Death. If they stand against Satan at that time then they take part in The Second Resurrection and go into The Eternity which is The Third World Age.
