1 - The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast rising out of the sea (of humanity, an institution). It had ten horns (divisions? toes of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream statue of Daniel, chapter 2) and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head, a name that insults God. [“Ten horns” ->Daniel 7:7,19 and 2:32,33!] 2 This beast looked like a leopard, but it had the feet of a bear and the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave the beast his own power and throne and great authority. 3 One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound. (The finaL form of satanic empire? It was, then wasn’t, when its ‘head’/originator didn’t sign on after all?) But the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world marveled after (admired?) and followed the beast. 4 They worshiped the dragon for giving the beast such power. And they worshiped the beast. “Who is as great as the beast?” they said. “Who is able to make war with him?” 5 And a mouth was given to it. And it spoke great things and blasphemy, and was given authority to act forty and two months (3.5 hebrew years, 1,260 days). 6 And he spoke terrible words against God, slandering his name and his dwelling, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 And the beast was allowed to wage war against God’s people and to conquer (oppress) them. And he was (will be - after Rev.7:1,3 is interrupted? the winds that are held back (7:1,3) are veiled by the seals of chapter 6 being described as their fuLL effects and not just first or opening/beginning effects) [he is] given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and nation. 8 The inhabitants of earth will worship [proskynรฉล - from prรณs - towards, and kyneo - to kiss – properly, to kiss the ground when prostrating before a superior, harnessed “god of forces”] the beast, all whose names have not (yet) been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation (blueprint) of the world.
